Farm Notes.
—The horse blanket in the stable is
as valuable a3 when in use while the
horse is at service. It is not the wetting
of the horse that causes it to take cold.
but the drying, or evaporation of the
moisture, which 1akes away the ani-
mal heat rapidly, and especially if a
carrent of air flows through the stable.
Rub the horse well and then keep the
blanket on him until he is thoroughly
dry, when it may then be removed if
desirable.
—Cut worms can stand any degree
of cold, but cold and moisture destroy
them. A cold winter does pot destroy
worms, but protects them. It is when
the ground freezes and thaws, and the
moisture reaches them, that a sudden
cold snap is fatal. If turned up to the
surface they are exposed to dampness
and cold. As long as the surface of
the ground is sealed by the frost they
will be snug, dry and warm below it
—The decrease in the number of
sheep means that the flocks are being
weeded out. There are now nearly 37,-
000,000 sheep in the United States,
and they are much better in quality
than before. Ifa value could be put
upon them it is possible they would
fully equal the value of sheep two
years ago, as the flocks have been
greatly improved in quality and size
of the individuals.
—To destroy bugs in seed peas put
the peas in water, and the bugs and in-
jured peas will rise to the surface. Skim
them off and destroy them. Pour off
the water and spread the peas to dry.
Peas that have been attacked by
weevil should not be used for seed, not
only because such seed may not ger-
minate, but also because more weevil
will be produced to attack the crop.
—When planting peas and using the
dwarf varieties for an early supply, the
later crop may be planted at the same
time but of standard varieties. The
latter may require sticks or supports,
but they produce more pickings. The
dwarf kinds seldom give more than
one or two pickings, hence they may
be planted at intervals to provide a
supply until the tall varieties come in-
to bearing.
—Nearly all who seek pure breeds
of poultry inquire, “Which breed pro-
duces the best layers ?"’ The fact is
there is not the difference of a dozen
eggs in a year between the best and
the least, but there is a great difference
in the hardiness of breeds. The best
layers are not the hardiest.
—Such materials as straw and corn-
stalks should not be hauled out on the
garden with the manure. They serve
better on the corn land. For the gar-
den use only well-rotted manure, free
from litter, and work it well into the
soil, 80 as to more evenly distribute it
and give the plants an early start.
—Waterproof of paper, which may
be used for protection to plants, is ob-
tained by soaking maoilla paper in a
solution made by diesolving ehellac in
hot borax water. That is, the borax
is dissolved in hot water, and the shel
lac added, to any consistency desired.
— Watch the crimson clover and
compare it with the ordinary red vari-
ety. The crimson will make very
rapid growth, and by May 15 it will be
high enough to produce a fair crop ot
hay. What should be done with it is
to plow it under as green manure.
—Remove the calf before it has
sucked and proceed with the milking
as if there were no calf in existence.
Their maternal instincts will be satis-
fied if the mothers are treated gently
and kindly, and the calves will be no
trouble if thus made to drink from the
first.
—Compared with pork, poultry meat
costs less and is more nourishing and
healthful. If too far trom market to
make the business pay, the farmer
should find no excuse for not raising
enough for his own table, and that
right liberally.
—Of the Red Polled steers slaughter-
ed after the late Smithfield Club show,
all reported on dressed over 60 per
cent of their live weight—generally
over 63 per cent.—and are described as
full of good lean meat.
—Give more air to the hotbed.
Plants that have made rapid growth
may be transplanted to cold frames, to
allow them more rodm and make them
hardy and stocky. Water hotbed plants
carefully, so as not to allow too much.
—A progressive dairyman puts it as
follows : It you will go without a new
suit of clothes this winter and buy a
thoroughbred bull calf he will buy new
clothes for all the family a few years
from now.
—The proper temperature for churn
ing is from 60 to 66 degrees. Each one’
should get a thermometer and decide
for himself. The temperature at which
butter comes is the proper temperature.
—One cannot grow good pork from
a sickly pig, neither can he raise good
berries from a sickly plant. It is im-
perative that all sickly plants be dis-
carded.
—The road question and the school
question are intimately joined, for
when our roads are perfect it will be
possible to have one central graded
school in every township.
_ ==Several potato cutters have been
invented for cuttting seed potatoes, but
as yet there isa difficulty in cutting
the seeds with the pieces selected ac-
cording to the eyes.
—The man who goes on the market
with anything of a superior quality or
excellence makes ready sales and a
profit.
—An experienced
‘by what it feeds on."
A Goop TEesTIMONIAL.—‘‘I have had
for 27 years past, a badly diseased ankle
bone. Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy and his Salt Rheum Cream
healed it when all other medicines had
tailed, and medical authority had said
the limb could never be used again.
A sore broke out on tbe ankle bone,
and for 10 months the aged writer suf-
fered day and night beyond the power
of words to express. A friend advised
me to try Dr. David Kennedy's Favor-
ite Remedy. I bad no faith that any
medicine would help me but suffering
as I did I thought I would try it. and
purchased some, also a box of Dr.
David Kennedy’s Salt Rheum Cream.
I used these medicines but a short time
when my limb began to heal. I will
further add, among the many medicines
I have tried for a diseased liver and kid-
neys, none has ever proved so helpful to
me as Favorite Remedy. By stimula-
ting and strengthening the enfeebled
organs, even the encroachments of ad-
vanced age seem to be checked by its in-
vigorating power.
I have thoroughly tested its true
worth, and I knew whereof I affirm,
hoping all who read this will profit
thereby, as the aged writer has, by us-
ing Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy, been given very comfortable
health for a person of 70 years of age.
Favorite Remedy is an invaluable medi-
cine for childrer as well as adults.
This testimonial is given from wy
own experience of these invaluable
medicines.” Mrs. Belinda Hoddon,
Haverhill, N. H.
No tribute to the efficacy of a medi-
cine could be greater than these words
of Mrs. Hodsdon, who voluntarily tells
the story of her recovery. Thousands
of men and women whose life is making
severe draughts on their vitality, need
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy.
None are too old to be helped by it. It
permanently cures dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, kidney, liver and urinary troubles,
for the ills peculiar to women it has no
equal.
Opinion of an Expert.
The great curse of alcoholic liquors
is that their use creates a morbid ap-
petite—a constantly increasing desire
tor more—in many cases. Many men
who began the use ot alcoholic liquors
in great moderation find themselves
gradually craving larger and larger
quantities. Liquor drinking is one of
those things of which it may truly be
said that “increase of appetite grows
Since this is un-
questionably the case, may it not be
exceedingly probable that the greater
the percéntage ot alcohol contained in
any particular kind of liquor the more
rapidly will a morbid appetite for
stimulation be cultivated? I must
therefore give it as my opinion that
the least injurious of alcoholic liquors,
and therefore the one that is the safest
and the best for men to drink, is the
one which contains the smallest per-
centage of alcohol.—Dr. William H.
Hammoud.
Dispensed With Clerks.
Reforms Being Inaugurated in the Department
at Washington.
‘W asHINGTON, March 10.—On the 3d
day of March, 1893, congress created a
joint commission to reorganize the ac-
counting system and business methods
in the executive departments. The
commission consisted of Representa-
tives Dockery, of Missouri; Richard-
son, of Tennessee and Dingley, of
Maine, and Senators Cockrell, Mis-
souri; Jones, of Arkansas and Cullom,
of Illinois. :
A voluminous report, just made pub-
lic, claims as the result of the labors
of this commission that the services of
251 clerks in the executive departments
have been dispensed with, whose sal-
aries aggregated $361,000 annually. To
this must be added a saving of $247,-
000 in miscellaneous items, making
a total saving to the government of
$450,000, and which will resalt in the
dismissal of 252 additional clerks in the
executive department.
Oil Men Score Hasting.
He is Severely Arraigned for Signing the Mar-
shall Bill.
BUTLER, Pa., March 7.—The oil men
crowded the Opera House to-night, and,
by red-hot resolutions, expressed their
indignation toward Governor Hastings
oo signing the Marshall Pipe Line
ill.
Clarence Walker was the first speak-
er, and said, among other bitter things:
“It the people only knew what indigni.
ties they will have to suffer there
would be no governor in Pennsylvania,
294 Raving would be fleeing for his
ife.
Amid cheers and applause Mr. Wal.
ker read the riot act to Senator An-
drews, of Crawford county, for the part
he took in the passage of the bill, as
well as against everyone who voted for
it- Several other speeches in like vein
were made.
Nld Orizaba in Eruption.
A Volcano in Mexico's Richest Coffee District
Shows Signs of Life.
Corpona, Mex., March 10.—The
Orizaba, an ancient volcano, is in a
state of eruption. It began Sunday
night, and is now emitting poison gases
and thick volumes of smoke from 100
apertures in its maw. The earth for
100 around is shaken periodically.
The Governor of Vera Cruz will name
a commission of scientists to investi
gate the eruption, and make recom:
mendations for the protection of the
neighboring villages.
The volcano is in the heart of the
best coftee districts in Mexico, where
are located many Americans, Masses
are being said in all the churches of
the locality to ward off the impending
danger.

All the Water Gone.
Port Deposit, Md., March 5.—The
water has all left town, but the railroad
track for two miles is covered with ice
from five to twenty feet thick. There
is a fourteen mile gorge at McCall’s

——A severe rheumatic pain in’ the
left shoulder had troubled Mr. J. H.
Loper, a well known druggist of Des
Moines, Iowa, for over six months. At
times the pain was so severe that he
could not lift anything. With all he
could not get rid of it until he applied
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. “I only
made three applications of it,’ he says,
«And have since been free from all
pain.” He now recommends it to per-
sons similarly afflicted. It is for sale by
F. P. Green.
ED LOE AL CT —
Knew the Count.
“There's only one thing in Count
Grabgilt’s favor,” said one man. ‘He
may come here with matrimo nial in-
tentions, but he won't make this coun-
try material for a book.” .
“Qh, yes he will,” replied the cynical
citizen, ‘and it'll be a bank-book.”’—

“TRUST THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED.” —
Catarrh causes hoarseness and difficulty
in speaking. I also to a great extent
lost hearing. By the use of Ely’s Cream
Balm dropping of mucus has ceased,
voice and hearing have greatly improv-
ed.—J. W. Davidson, Att’y at Law,
Monmouth, Ili.
I used Ely’s Cream Balm for catarrh
and have received great benefit. I be-
lieve it au safe and certain cure. Very
pleasant to take.— Wm. Frazer, Roches-
ter, N. Y. Price of Cream Balm is fifty
cents.
All Have Prominent Noses.
In the reigning families of England,
Prussia, Belgium, and in a certain de-
gree, in Sweden and Norway, the type
of nose recalls the description of ‘Mr.
Job Bottles,” the stock broker, por-
trayed by Mr. Arnold as “a man with
a fleshy prominent nose.” They are all
noses which would have satisfied the
late Duke of Wellington, admittedly a
good judge of character, who was wont
to say, “Give me a man with a big
nose’’—possibly because he had a big
nose himself.

cist can conscientiously warrant a cure,

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
Slegnns 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
lesther. 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
Joa 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 themselves.
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 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
$8.00 to $15.00 and upwards, LARGE
STOCK OF HEAVY HARNESS per
set $25.00 and BDwardes 500 HORSE
