Bellefonte, Pa., March 1, 1895.
Farm Notes.
—It is important to set out the run-
ners for the new bed of strawberries as
early as it can be done. In this lati-
tude such work is done in April, but it
should be done earlier if the ground
thaws. The reason 18 that the young
plants get the advantage of the spring
raios and become well established be-
fore the summer sets in. The young
plants have whitish roots,
should be abundant. The old plants
have dark roots, and they should nev-
er be used for new beds, the young
_plants from the runners being always
preferred. To thrive well the plants
ghould be set out on fine, mellow soil,
that has been plowed deep and har-
rowed down fine. Even then the rake
will be found serviceable in assisting to
put the soil in fine condition. Make
the rows three or four feet apart, or of
a distance to permit of the cultivator,
and place the plants about 18 inches
in the rows, as they will soon run to-
gether and mat, though some growers
prefer to grow plants in single stools
when extra large berries are desired,
but which requires more labor, as the
new runners must be kept back.
FERTILIZERS AND CULTIVATION.
The plants set out this spring will
not bear until next, hence the fertiliz-
ers need not be applied as lavishly as
for a producing bed. About 100
pounds of nitrate of soda, 100 pounds
superphosphate, and 300 pounds of
sulphate of potash make an excellent
combination, The superphosphate and
potash may be applied when the
ground is harrowed, as they will then
be well incorporated with the soil, and
the plants should be set out after a
good rain. The nitrate of soda may
be applied after the plants are well uo-
Jer growth, by being sprinkled along
the rows, on each side of the plants.
Bearing beds will require twice as
much of the nitrate and superphos-
phate. The plants must be kept clean
not a blade of grass or a weed being
permitted to grow. The object should
be to keep the young plants growing.
If manure is used it should be well
rotted, and also broadcasted before the
harrowing, eo as to have it well
worked into the soil.
VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES.
Experiments at many different pla-
ces show that there is no variety suita-
ble for all sections. More seems to
depend on the soil than ou the climate,
Varieties suitable for light] soils do not
bear profusely on clay land, and the
climate also influences the yield to
some extent. Beginners should keep
in view the fact that some of the best
varieties are pistillate only, while oth-
ers are both staminate and pistillate.
This necessitates the use of two varie-
ties if the preferred one is pistillate,
every third or fourth row being ot
some selected staminate (styled dou-
ble blossom) variety for fertilizing the
pistillate kind. Large berries depend
on the variety, but growers have
learned that success is met when large
applications of fertilizers are given, as
much as half a ton per acre being con-
sidered not excessive by expert grow-
ers, as they thereby secure large yields
of extra-size berries, and also receive
an extra price per quart when the ber-
ries reach the markets.
—Shrubbery, unless properly arrang-
ed, is not attractive, either on the lawn
or elsewhere, but when the trees and
shrubbery are placed where they will
add their attractions tothe best ad-
vantage they add hundreds of dollars
to the value of a place. Those whoown
their homes should endeavor to make
every square foot a beauty spot. There
is no space that will not permit of the
growing of some kind of flower. An
evergreen hedge is not only a contrast
with other plants growing near, but it
gives a green appearance to a yard or
lawn even in winter.
—Corn fodder that has been left in
the fields will be worth but little at
-this time. The best thing to do
with it is to haul it to the barnyard
and let the cattle pick it over and
trample it. If there is no other work
it will pay to cut up all damaged fod-
der and stalks to be used as litter in
the stalls, so as to be transferred to
the manure heap as an absorbent.
—Whitewash the poultry house in-
side, 80 as to make the interior light
and cheerful. Poultry have a 1epug-
nance to dark quarters, and will re-
main outside, exposed to storms, in pref-
erence to resorting during the day to a
dark and uncomfortable poultry house.
Ducks must be kept in a house with a
board floor, covered with straw. They
shoul be laying now, as they usually
begirearly in the season.
—The asparagus bed should be
cleaned thoroughly, and 200 pounds
of snlphate of potash, 100 of nitrate of
soda, and 200 of super-phosphate ap-
plied per acre. It makes growth early
in the season, and for that reason the
fertilizer must be applied as soon as it
can be done.
—Grafting one kind of grape on an
other kind has been met with success
in many cases. In the grafting of the
Delaware on the Ives Seedling the
Delawares produced crops where they
before failed, and excellent success has
also resulted in grafting the Concord
on the Ives.
—The earliest green peas come from
the dwarf varieties, and the seed
should be planted as early as
can be done safely. A few days in
reaching the market makes quite a dif:
ference in the price, The earlier the
better.
— February is considered the best
month in which to cut green timber
for posts for durability. Charring the
ends that go into the grounds and for
six inches above will prolong their
durability very much.

New York City Merc hant,
How His Life Was Saved.
No one would think to look at Rich-
ard B. Brown. a commission merchant,
of No. 306 Washington street, New
York City, that for six weeks he had
suffered in agony in his bed and that
physicians had said it was impossible
for him to regain his health.
But now he is back in his office, vig-
orous and hearty. He regards Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, as
the savior of his life. Mr. Brown story
is remarkable.
“For several years,” said Mr. Brown
to a reporter the other day. “I suffer-
ed from inflammation and ulceration of
the bladder, a most stubborn disease.
My family physician was unable to re-
lieve me. At the advice of friends I
consulted specialists, and they all failed
to do me any good. All this
time I was growing worse, and at last
I was compelled to take to my bed.
“My mother-in-law had heard of Dr.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and she
asked me to give it a trial. I had been
confined to my bed for five weeks and I
admit that I didn’t think there was
much chance of getting out of it. Well,
I tried Favorite Remedy. There seem-
ed to be a change that surprised me. In
a week I was able to get out of bed and
go around the house, and in a short
time I recovered completely. To-day
I’m as well as ever and what’s better
yet I feel that T am permanently cured.
I can work sixteen hours a day now,
and not be broken upa bit. To Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is all the
credit due.”
Favorite Remedy ranks, with the
medical profession, as the most perfect
of all blood and nerve medicines. It
restores the liver to a healthy condi-
tion, and cures the worst cases of consti-
pation. It is a certain cure for all dis-
eases peculiar to females, and affords
great protection from attacks that orig-
fnate in change of life. It cures scro-
fula, salt rheum. rheumatism, dyspep-
sia, all kidney, bladder and urinary dis-
eases, gravel, diabetes and Bright's dis-
ease.
In this last disease it has cured where
all else failed. Any druggist can sup-
ply it.
Work of the House.
The Minimum Pension of the Mexican War Pene
sioners Fixed at $12 Per Month.
WasniNgToN, Feb. 18.—The house
to-day devoted four hours to the trans-
action of business under the suspension
of the rules, during which time three
measures were passed aod two defeat
ed.
Those passed were bills fixing the
minimum pension of pensioners of the
Mexican war and the Indian wars
from 1832 to 1842 at $12 per month ;
amending the statutes concerning the
regulation of steam vessels and grant-
ing Mount Vernon barracks, Ala. to
that state for public purposes.
The measures defeated were to create
a retired list for the revenue cutter ser-
vice and granting to the Altamonte
Water company the right to construct
dams across the St. Louis and Cloquet
rivers in Minnesota.
An hour was devoted to the naval
appropriation bill. A point of order
was made by Mr. Sayers, of Texas,
against the paragraph authorizing an
increase in the enlisted force of the
navy. Mr. O'Neill, of Massachusetts,
chairman of the committee, reserved
his decision until to-morrow.
The resignation of Representative
Wilson, of Washington, senator elect,
was received and accepted. The house
at 5:15 adjourned until to-m orrow.
The New Navy.
Chairman Sayers, of the Appropriation Com-
mittee, Against It.
WasHINGTON, Feb. 19.—The house
spent to-day in the further consideration
of the naval appropriation bill. The
committee on naval affairs was victori-
ous on every test of strength taken
to-day. The paragraph providing for
the increase of the navy (the battleships
and torpedo boats) will be reached to-
morrow, and the committee is sanguine
that the increase recommended will be
authorized, despite the determined op-
position of Chairman Sayers, of the ap-
propriation committee, who announced
to-day that he would fight the authori-
zation of the new ships until the close
of the session.
The conference report on the bill to
extend the time for making returns un-
der the income tax law were agreed to.

phesied for her. I mean ‘‘Charley’s

recent success in New York, Chicago
and Boston is well known by the read-

praised so by the press as ‘Charley’s
Aunt.” The company is one of the
best that could be provided for the in-
terpretation of such a laugh-provoking
piece.

patrons and she 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 im the large room, formerly occupied
by Harper Bros., on Spring street. It has been
added to my factory and will be used exclu-
sively fox 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 reom 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
leatner. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet and the stove 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 oa and
We want everyone $0 see our goods and get
priees for when you do this, out of self defense
ig will buy. Our profits are not large, but
¥ selling lots of goods we can afford oe in
Bellefonte. We are nol indulging in idle
philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
not making much, but trads is growing and
that is what we are interested in now. Profits
will take care of themselves. !

men during the winter they were all put to
