Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 22, 1895.
Farm Notes.
—It has been suggested that all
lands that are allowed to grow up in
weeds, which send their seeds far and
wide, should be heavily taxed.
—Crude petroleum is an excellent
liniment for cuts, bruises, and sores on
animals, and a bottle ot it should al-
ways be within reach in the stable.
—The hogs that have not yet been
slaughtered will prove expensive dur-
ing thie cold montb, as it requires too
much corn to keep them supplied with
warmth.
— Apple trees that have not been
pruned will be greatly benefited by
{rimming the ends of the branches in-
stead of sawing off the limbsand in-
juring the trees.
— Arsenate of lead is a new insec
ticide, serving the same purposes as
Paris green, with the advantage that
it does not injure the foliage, and
shows white on the trees, thus being
readily seen,
—Save your wood ashes. They are
not only excellent for orchards but are
superior for grass lande. Ashes are
rich in lime, as well as of potash, and
serve all purposes for which lime may
be used.
—Farmers’ meetings in winter have
done much to improve agriculture
wherever they are held. The members
discuss subjects of importance in agri-
culture and stock growing, and fre-
quently excellent lectures are delivered
by eminent ecientists.
—1It is now conceded that the frozen
meat trade between Australia and En-
gland does not fulfill the anticipations
of its promoters, and the live cattle of
this country will hold the best place in
the affections of the consumers of beef
in Great Britain.
—Judging of the value of an animal
by its weight will not enable the owner
to learn it the animal affords a profit.
1t is the cost of the animal that gives
the value. A small animal may give a
larger profit than one that is heavier
because its cost is proportionately much
less.
—The Southern cow pea is a better
crop for plowing under than rye, and
is nearly equal to clover in many re-
spects. It is, like corn, a summer crop,
however, and the seed cannot be plant-
ed until the ground is well warmed. It
seems to thrive on any soil thay will
produce corn.
—Do not attempt to grow a crop of
some new variety of corn. Stick to the
old kinds until a plot has been used of
the newer kinds by way of experiment.
Corn that may thrive well, and give
large yields, in some sections, may
prove a miserable failure elsewhere.
The climate and soil must be considered
when procuring seed.
—The German government has or-
dered the use of paper horseshoes for
the horses of the army. No nails are
used, the shoes being attached to the
feet with a kind of cement, which so
far has given satisfaction, but the test
of a severe winter and wet spring is yet
to be made. The shoes are attached
to the fore feet, iron being used on the
hind feet.
—Many animals cease to thrive,
simply because they require a food
more succulent than the continued diet
of grain and hay. A few carrots, a mess
of potatoes or turnips, cooked, or even
ensilage, occasionally, will make quite
a difference in the appetite, and, conse-
quently, do much to promote thrift.
Medicine is frequently given when-a
succulent mess would accomplish all
that may be desired.
—Do not pay high prices for a few
pounds of tubers of some pew potato
that may have many claims in its fa.
vor unless you are sure of its excel-
lence, and even then it would be well
to wait until it has been given a test
for several years, 2s many varieties may
be unreliable in some sections. Novel-
ties in seeds, fruits and vegetables are
brought out every year, but they some-
times happen to be old varieties with
new names. They spring into existence
as novelties one year and sink out of
sight in two or three seasons.
—The pig has less hairy covering
than any other of our domestic ani-
mals. It often suffers from excessive
cold, and mn trying to avoid this it goes
naturally to the other extreme. We
have seen single pigs almost bury
themselves 11 manure to secure the
" warmth from it. If a number are to-
gether they will pilein a heap, which
will be alternately changing from too
cold to an excessively warm temper-
ature. The sleeping room for pigs
should not be too deeply bedded, but
it should be saved from having a
draught through it. With a moderate
amount of bedding, and no current of
air over them, the change of tem-
perature will not be so great when
they come to their feeding troughs.
—In England the old Southdown
sheep seem to bold their own very well
«with the more recent and, just now,
more fashionable breeds. No breed
produces mutton of better quality, or
wool which commands a higher price.
They are also hardy and prolific ; but
they are thought to be small. They,
however, grow quickly. At the Smith-
field Show, Evgland, five Southdown
wether lambs of an average age of 209
days showed an average weight of 176
pounds, At the same show five Shrop-
shire wether lambs, averaging 284
_ days, gave an average weight of 173
pounds. At the Birmingham Fat
Stock Show four Southdown wether
lambs, average age 228 days, weighed
an average of 148 pounds, and at the
same show five Shropshire wether
lambs, average age 265 days, gave an
average weight ot 147 pounds.
British Cotton Trade.
The Returns Show that Spinners Are Doing a
Big Business.
The monthly returns of the exports
of cotton goods from the United King-
dom were posted on the New York
Cotton Exchange, and they show that
the English spinners are doing a phe-
nomenal business. Shipments of
yarns in January were 23,000,000
pounds, against 20,000,000 pounds in
December and 18,310,000 pounds in
January last year. The exports of
cloths for January, 1895, were 465,
000,000 yards, against 434,000,000 in
December and 461,951,000 in January
last year. The sghippings of yarn
were thirty per cent. larger than a year
ago and of cloths one per cent. larger.
This shows a condition of trade better
than public cables had indicated. Be-
lievers in cotton predict that fully
9,000,000 bales of American staple will
be consumed this year.
The prevailing storm and consequent
prostration of wires cut off Southern
orders and reduced dealings on the
Exchange yesterday, but 11,700 bales
changed hande. Liverpool advanced
further and closed firm. Our market
opened 1 point up, advanced 4 more
points, then fell off under pressure of
interior receipts and the break in
stocks, closing 1 point below Thurs:
day. New Orleans reported Liverpool
spinuers heavy buyers of spot cotton in
that market. Hubbard, Price & Co.
say : “There is at the moment no dis-
position to anticipate a decline in the
market, and such buying orders as
have come to hand have been filled at
an advance, as only those who have a
profit on their holdings care to dispose
of cotton at present prices, believing
that the reduction in acreage will be
very extensive throughout the South.”
To Florida.
Personally-Conducted Tours via Pennsylvania
Railroad.
To the large number of people who
feel the need of a midwinter as well as
a midsummer holiday, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company’s personally-
conducted tours to Florida especially
commend themselves ; the excursion
rates being most liberal and the style
of travel first-class in every particular.
The next of the series of Jackson-
ville tours, allowing two weeks’ stay
in Florida, will leave New York and
Philadelphia on February 26, and oth-
ers will leave on March 12 and 26. The
rate, including transportation, meals
en route, and Pullman berth on epecial
train, is $50.00 from New York, and
$48.00 from Philadelphia ; proportion-
ate rates from other points.

Agent, 1196 Broadway, New York, or

adelphia, to whom application for space
should also be made.
Mother and Babies Drown.
A mother and two little daughters
were drowned 1n the Ohio river, near
Coraopolis, the other day. Mrs. Wm.
Siebert and two children, aged three
and five years respectively, started to
cross the river on the ice. Suddenly
the treacherous bridge gave way and
the mother and her little ones fell into
the freezing stream. Mrs. Siebert
tried bravely for the moment her head
was above water to save her children
and herself. They clutched at the
pieces of ice, but soon all three disap-
peared. Their bodies were afterward
recovered and word of the accident was
sent to the coroner. William Siebert,
the husband and father, with an infant
constitute the remainder of the tamily.
An Unpopular Custom Abolished.
A bill to abolish the custom of kiss-
ing the Bible in courts passed the
house last week in a slightly amended
form after Mr. Fow of Philadelphia,
had told how the custom originated in
a German monastery in the third cen-
tury. A monk bad a casket of prec:
ious relics of saints which he com-
manded his fellow monks to kies
whenever their testimony of affairs of
moment was heard. Mr. Fow dwelt
upon the danger of disease from kiss-
ing the Bible in courts of justice and’
referred to the fact that Judge Me-
Pherson, of Harrisburg, had abolished
the custom of his own volitions,
After American Bonds.
A British Syndicate Formed to Take Five Mil-
lion Dollars Worth.
Lonpon, Feb. 15.—A syndicate of
leading jobbers on the British Consol
market has been formed to secure
£1,000,000 (5,000,000) of the American
bond issue, which is now said to be cer-
tain to be taken up freely here whether
payable in gold or coin, as there is en-
tire confidence that America will pay
gold anyhow.
The defeat of the Gold Bond bill had
a weakening effect on the Amcrican
market.
GENERAL BREAKING DownN.—Hous-
erville, Pa., Jan. 15, 1895.—I1 have
been at times so weak and so much re-
duced that I could scarcely get any rest
or sleep. Hood's Sarsaparilla enables
me to rest and builds me up in general.
I regard a few dollars invested in
Hood's Sarsaparilla as a most profitable
investment. I will say to all who are
troubled with a cough, loss of appetite
and a general breaking down that they
will be sure to be benefited by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Mrs. J. B. Mayes.
Hood’s Pills cures sick headache, in-
digestion.

From Prominent People.
A great many persons to our knowl-
edge have voluntarily pronounced Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy successful
in curing disease. Here are a number of
statements that demonstrate the value
of this medicine.
Commander James S. Dean, of Gen.
Grant Post G. A. R., Rondout, N. Y.,
contracted an aggravsted stomach trou-
ble, which resulted in chronic dyspepsia.
He suffered misery until he used Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. ‘After
using it a week,”’ says Commander
Dean, ‘I felt better, and in a short
while was entirely cured, that terrible
distress and food breaking up sour in
my throat, had all gone.”
Rev. I. W. Hill, pastor Methodist
church Accord, N. Y.. “I can speak
highly of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Rem-
medy as a blood medicine. Ten years
ago I had a cancer removed from my
lip. I then began theuse of Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy and to this
day no sign of it has reappeared.”
The Sisters of Charity, St. Mary’s
Female Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y.,,
says: “The satisfaction we realize from
the use of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Re-
medy surpass all expectation.” The
worst cases of eczema, salt rheum and
scrofula yield to its curative power,
nervousness, sleeplessness, liver and kid-
ney complaints and all urinary troubles
are cured by its use.
——Hit am er great pity,” said Mr.
Erastus Pinkley, ‘dat de ground’ hog
ain’t a’ chickin’ er & possum.”
“Why ?”
(Case dah am seb’ral gemmen ob
my ’quaintance dat wouldn’ nebbah let
’im stay out’n ’is hole long ’nough ter
see his shadder, nohow.”’
—— Mrs. Emily Thorne, who resides
at Toledo, Washington, says she has
never been able to procure any medi-
cine for rheumatism that relieves the
pain so quickly and effectually as Cham-
berlain’s Pain Balm, and that she has
also used it for lame back with great
success. For sale by F. P. Green.
——Lover—*You are getting prettier
every day.” Sweet Girl —“Just now I
am living on brown bread and water to
improve my complexion.” ‘How long
can you keep that up?” “Oh, indefi-
nitely.” “Then let’s get married.”

AYERS PILLS
“For fifteen years, I was a great
sufferer from indigestion in its
worst forms. I tested the skill of
many doctors, but grew worse and
worse, until I became so weak I
could not walk fifty yards without
having to sit down and rest. My
stomach, liver, and heart became
affected, and I thought I would
surely die. I tried Ayers Pills
and they helped me right away.
I continued their use and am now
entirely well. Idon’tknow of anys

HARNESS HOUSE
We extend a most cordial invitation tc our
patrons and the public, in general, to witness
one of the
GRANDEST DISPLAY OF
Light and Heavy Harness
ever put on the Bellefonte market, which will
be made in the large room, formerly occupied
by Harper Bros., on Spring street. It has been
added to my factory and will be used exclu.
sively for the sale of harness, being the first
exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom has been to sell goods
in the room in which they were made. This
elegant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
leather. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
We are prepared to offer better bargains in
the future than we have done in the past and
we want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
{= will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford to live in
Bellefonte. We ‘are noi indulging in idle
philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
not making much, but trade is groWing and
that is what we are interested in now. Profits
will take care of themselves.
When other houses discharged their work-
men during the winter they were all put to
work in my factory, nevertheless the Dig ?)
houses of this city and county would smilie if
we compared ourselves to them, but we do not
mean to be so odious, except to venture the as-
section that none of them can say, as we can
say “NO ONE OWES US A CENT THAT WE
CAN'T GET.” This is the whole story.
The following are kept constantly on hand.
50 SETS OF LIGHT HARNESS, prices from
.00 to $15.00 and upwards, LARGE
STOCK OF HEAVY HARNESS per
set $25.00 Sd pwardss 500 HORSE
COLLARS from $1,50 to $5,00
each, over $100.00 worth of
HARNESS OILS and
AXLE GREASE,
$400 worth of Fly Nete sold cheap
8150 worth of whips
from 15¢ to $3.00 each,
Horse Brushes,Cury Combs
Shonen Chamois, RIDING
SADDLES, LADY SIDESADDLES
Harness Soap, Knee Dusters, at low
prices, Saddlery-hardware always on hand
for sale, Harness Leather as low as 25¢ per
ound. We keep everything to be found in a
IRST CLASS HARNESS STORE—no chang-
ing, oper yess inthe same room. No two
sin the same town to catch trade—NO
SELLING OUT for the want of trade or prices.
Four harness-makers at steady work this win
ter, This is our idea of protection to labor,
when other houses discharged their hands
they soon found work with us.
