Farm Notes.
—Stubs of broken branches should
be sawed off. The wounds should be
covered with paint, patty, or grafting
wax.
—The best horse for work is not al:
ways the one that is the fastest when
at the caltivator. The slow and steady
animal is nearly always preferred in
cultivating.
—The Persian lilac does not make
go large a bush as the ordinary ones,
but it 1s a sure and a profuse bloomer
and quite fragrant, and is slightly later
in its flowering than they.
—Money spent for wood ashes will
always be well invested. They are
suitable for all classes of soil, do not
injure the land or the crops, and sup-
ply both lime and potash as plant food.
—Good roads will leesen the number
ot foundered horses, will save time in
delivery, lessen the exertion of the
stock, and also eventually decrease
taxes by being wore durable and per-
manent.
—Heavy «oils are always benefited
by lime. Lime is slow in its action,
and may not show any benefit to the
soil for a year or more, but there will
arrive a time when good results will be
obtained, and the benefit will be last-
ing and apparent for many seasons.
—Do not wait to procure fertilizers,
but doso at once. The winter may
break up suddenly and give an early
spring, at which time the fertilizers
should be applied. It may be incon
venient then to wait, and delays may
be dangerous. Fertilizers and seeds
should be ready before spring opens.
—Corn-harvesting machinery is keep-
ing place with the implements for har-
vesting wheat. In addition to corn
planters, sulky plows and horse hoes,
there are now corn harvesters, which
cut down the corn and bind it in bund-
les, ready to be placed in shocks. La-
bor-saving implements will cheapen
corn as they have done wheat.
Reports from the several stations
where dairy schools have been estab-
lished show that the number of appli-
cants exceeds the capacity of the
schools. This is very encouraging,
and is the strongest evidence that can
be given in favor of the fact that farm-
ers are progressive and that they are
endeavoring to give their sons a scien-
tific knowledge of dairying.
— Professor Troop eays that 12 rows
of strawberries, 50 feet long, will give
an abundance for any farmer's family.
Such a bed ought to yield over 600
quarts of berries, or 20 quarts a day for
30 days. But very few families can find
use for such quantities, and yet the
space called for is only 40 by 50 feet.
What farmer is there who cannot af-
ford that small space to cultivate it?
—Over 600 bushels of onions have
been grown on an acre of land, yet 300
bushels make a good crop. They re-
quire work from the start, and the cost
of labor will be quite an item. They
entail too much expense for ordinary
farmers. Yet, when we look at the re-
ceipts, an acre of onions will produce
more in bushels than ten or fifteen
acres of wheat, and sell for twice as
much per bushel.
—Sell the poor cows and buy no
others unless you know all about them.
Farmers lose more money by buying |
fresh cows than from any other source.
They cannot judge of the capacity or.
disposition of the animal until it has |
been tested ;
brought in a herd unknowingly. When
the foundation of a herd rests upon
breeding, and the farmer patiently
waits until he has secured cows of his
own breeding, the road to succees will
then be easier.
—Ten hensin a house that is 10 feet
square, with yards 10 times the size of
the house, is a ruleto go by. Ten
hens with one male is the correct ma-
ting, and 10 eggs under a sitting hen in
winter are enough. Ten weeks are
long enough to keep a broiler before it
goes to market. A pair of ducks or
fowls should weigh not over 10 pounds;
10 cents per pound is near the average
price for fowls in market, and 10 cents
should feed a hen one month.
—There is = large field for the farm-
er to work over in order to find out
what his receipts and expenses are.
The farmer knows the price he receiv-
ed for his butter, but may not know
what the cost wae. It is not difficult
to arrive at an estimate of the cost of
any article if accounts are kept. Pro-
gressive farmers keep an account with
each animal, weighing the tood and
charging therefor. Even the fields are
entered in the book and accounts kept
with them. It is extra work, but it is
the only way to know what the farm is
doing.
—It is net an easy matter to kill out
weeds after the regular crop is planted.
One of the best methods is to plow ear-
ly, harrow the land and let the weeds
grow. When they are just appearing
harrow well and wait again. By the
time corn planting arrives thejweeds
will have been well thinned out. Af-
ter the crop is planted the cultivator
and wheel hoe, or even the hand hoe,
may be relied upon to keep them down
it the work is done when the weeds are
young. Never let one weed produce
seed. Some varieties produce millions
of seeds froma single plant, heoce
every weed killed means less labor the
succeeding year. It may entail a
heavy expense to endeavor to destroy
all the weeds, but the expense the next
season will be more than reduced cor-
respondingly. What should be done
early is to give the weeds an opportu- |
nity to grow and then destroy them.

How His Life Was Saved.
No one would think to look at Rich-
ard B. Brown. & 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 seid it was impossible
for him to regain his health.
But now he is back in bis 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 beard of Dr.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and she
asked me to give it a trial. IT 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 whats better
yet I feel that I am permanently cured.
I can work sixteen hours a day now,
and not be broken up a 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 care for all dis-
eases peculiar to females, and affords
great protection from attacks that orig-
inate in change of life, It cures scro-
fula, salt rheur. rheumatism, dyspep-
sia, all kidney, bladder and urinary dis-
eases, gravel, diabetes and Bright's dis-
eage.
In this last disease it has cured where
all else failed. Any druggist can sup-
ply it.
A Middle Penitentiary.
A bill was introduced in the legisla-
ture on Monday by Mr. Page, of Dau-
phin county, to create a middle peni-
tentiary district including the counties
of Potter, Tioga, Bradford, Sullivan,
Lycoming, Northumberland, Colum-
bia, Montour, Fulton, Bedford, Cum-
berland, Franklin, Adams, Somerset,
Blair, Cambria, Huntingdon, Union,
Lebanon, Perry, Juniata, Mifilin,
Clearfield, Clinton and Centre. The
penitentiary to be located ator near
the city of Harrisburg. The bill pro-
vides for the appointment of a com-
mission to select a site, and appropri-
ates $100,000 for the purchase of the
same, etc.
I STE TT
Way Trey Are Ficarine,—The
real cause of the war between China
and Japan is not clear to many of our
readers, so we append the following :
The primal cause of the present war
between China and Japan is to be
found in China's claims to suzeraioty
over Corea. For centuries Corea has
paid tribute to China, but when Corea
wag in trouble China refused to help its
dependency. The Japanese within the
last 30 years have acquired large com-
mercial interests in Corea, and receunt-
ly, when a rebellion broke out in the
latter country, Japan looked to China
to suppress it. This China did not
do, so Japan sent troops over to help
the King of Corea subdue the rebels.
To this China objected, but the Jap-
anese, victorious, refused to retire,
claiming that they would make Corea
independent before they would leave,
and it looks as if they were going to
succeed.
——Judging from reports then in
circulation, President Cleveland did
not have among the ladies of Maine, a
more outspoken and bitter critic than
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, a prominent
member of the W. C. T. U. and other
organizations. Yet Senator Frye at
this woman’s request arranged a re-
ception at the White House for the
W. C. T. U. delegates at the Washing-
ton convention, all of whom including
Mrs. Stevens, shook hands with the
president. Time certainly brings
about many changes.
—— Speculating on the chances of
1896 Harper's Weekly says that ‘‘in
view of the manner in which Republi-
can politicians have conducted them-
selves since last November, the chances
of Republican success is remote,” It
points out that “the people can punish
only the party in power, and two years
from now that will be the Republican
party.
——Walter Dunlop, the well-known
humorous clergyman of Dumfries, was
one day talking to a brother of the
cloth, who in & facetious manner said :
«Well, Walter, I believe, after all has
been said, that my head could not hold
two of yours.” ‘Man.” replied Wal-
ter with a pawky smile, ‘I never
thocht before that your heid was sae
empty.”

Tommy—+That’s nothing, popper ;

vented a machine that can finish a pair
of them every fifteen minutes.”

——Lipsey—*‘I am working for my
creditors day and night.”
Flipsey—* Why say you so ?”’
Lipsey—‘The old man promised that
if I passed a decent examination he'd
pay my debts, and I'm trying to do it.”
—— Wiggles—* Why did they eall it
a charity concert, do you think ?’
Waggles—*I don’t know. Possibly
becaus, it is so often necessary to be
charitable toward the performers.”

Pennsylvania Railroad’s Second Tour
to “The Golden Gate.”
The large number of people who
have leisure, and the growing desire of
Americans to see the wonders of their
pative land, are the principal agencies
in advancing a healthy sentiment in
favor of travel.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany’s personally-conducted tours to
California will be conducted in all re-
spects as those of preceding years,
with some added advantages, which
cannot fail to attract the attention and
enlist the interest of the tourist.
In addition to the high-grade ac-
commodations and entertainment in
transit, the Pennsylvania tourists are
treated with the same liberality where-
ever the journey is broken. The
choicest rooms in the leading hotels
are alway reserved for their use, for
which regular rates are paid, eo that
the guests, although members of a
large party, enjoy all the privileges of
individuals who may have made their
own selections.
The second tour in the 1895 series to
the Golden Gate, will leave New York
and Philadelphia May 16, 1895. »
Detailed itinerary will be sent on
application to Tourist Agent, 1196
Broadway, New York or Room 411,
Broad Street Station, Philadelphia.

The Widow's One Word.
A young widow put up a costly
monument to her late husband and in-
scribed upon it : “My grief is so great
that I cannot bear it.”’ A year or so
later, however, she married again and
feeling a little awkwardness about the
inscription she solved the difficulty by
adding one word to it—*‘alone.”

HARNESS HOUSE
We extend a most cordial invitation toc 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 im 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 displayed and still kept away from
heat aud 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 bargalns 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
i will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford to live in
Bellefonte. We are not 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 themseives.
When other houses discharged their work-
men during the winter they were all put to
work in my factory, nevertheless the big (?)
houses of this city and county would smile 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
£8.00 to $15.00 and upwards, LARGE
STOCK "OF HEAVY HARNESS per
set $25.00 and zoRads, 500 HORSE
