Farm Notes.
—Do not plow ground now if it is
not dry. It will pay to wait a few
days longer and have the soil fine and
in good condition than to plow it too
soon only to, be compelled to do extra
work trying to break the Jumps.
—The best cantaloupe, considering
its merits and defects, is the Emerald
Green. It sometimes cracks open at
the ends, and is not very attractive in
appearance, but it is of excellent flavor,
golid flesh, thin rind and unexcelled in
many respects.
—If long or coarse manure is plowed
under, and followed by a dry season,
the crop may be damaged ; moreover,
if the same manure had been spread
on top after the crop had been plant-
ed, that crop would have been better
and would have better withstood the
drought.
—Do not attempt to fatten young
pigs, but to develop boneand muscle
in them and make them grow. Pigs
that are made to grow rapidly when
young will make good hogs to fatten.
Ground wheat has a large per cent. of
protein for growth. So has wheat
bran.
—PFill in the vacancies in the rows
of last year’s strawberry plants with
young plants, so as to have them send
out runners and fill up the gaps. The
game applies to other varieties of small
fruits. The rows should be regular and
well filled in order to save space and
utilize labor.
—The weeds and grass are now in
full sway on land that has not been
plowed or properly attended to. A few
days’ work on such fields at this time
will save several weeks’ labor next
month. It will pay to cease all other
work in order to destroy weeds when
they are young.
—The dwarf sweet corn is the kind
that comes early. The seed should be
planted as soon as the ground is warm.
The stalks will be short and the ears
small. For a later supply use the
Evergreen, which will produce abund-
antly on good soil. Make two or three
plantings in succession.
—Sheep enable the farmer to feed
many substances that would be other-
wise thrown on the manure heap.
Beans vines, pea vines and weeds, it
given to the sheep; will be picked over
and eaten. Many weeds are dainties to
sheep, and serve just as well for food
as more costly materiale.
—Bee keeping causes but little hin
drance to the work of the main crops,
and it is not sufficiently appreciated.
America produces about 25,000,000
pounds of Loney and one million of
wax, all worth $6,000,000. Most of
this is from clusters of but a few hives,
and is scattered over many States.
—Experimental reports say that
chemical analysis of unripe bean stalks
or vines indicates that it will pay well
to grow the largest varities of pole
beans on hills of corn for fodder or en-
silage, and that flax shows, also, that
it is a very valuable hay plant if itis
cut and cured when half of its seeds
are ripe.
—AIll lambs intended for human
food, says a writer in the Prairie
Farmer, should be kept growing every
day from birth to block ; must be fed
on uitrogenous food ; must have plenty
of succulent food ; must be induced to
eat all they can digest and assimilate ;
must be kept as quiet as possible con.
sistent with health ; must besold as
soon as ready.
—Those who believed that “there
was no money in cattle” are now re-
gretting that they have none to dis.
pose of. The same may be said of
sheep. Farmers who are getting rid
of their sheep are simply reducing the
number for the beuefit of those tfarm-
ers whoare holding on to their sheep,
and who will find mutton scarce and
prices high before many months.
—There is a general complaint that
tomato vines make too much growth
on rich soil and do not produce fruit to
correspond with the abundant branches.
This is due tothe large supply of ni-
trogen and a deficiency of the mineral
elements. Rot is also caused by the
lack of mineral matter. The best
remedy is to supply sulphate or mur.
iate of potash and some kind of phos-
phate to tomato plants.
—One bushel of potatoes is very like
another, and will sell for about the
same, by whomever grown ; but one
pound of butter may be worth 30 cents
and another go begging at halt the
price. There is a difference in the
skill, knowledge and care exercised at
every step in every detail of the pro-
cess, from the stable to the consumer,
and no one has his profits more in
control than the dairyman.
—Grain is, 80 far as nutriment goes,
quite as cheap as hay, and hay is even
cheaper in projortion to its nutriment
than in straw. But some portions of the
less nutritious food has to be given
with grain as a divisor, lest it should
heat in the stomach, and do injury
rather than good. With a very cou-
centrated ration, as with oil meat or
cotton seed meal, good bright sfraw is
better as a divisor that is the best
hay.
—It requires a man with a hard
heart to sell a faithful horse to some
drover, or stranger, in whose hands
the animals may receive ill treatment.
Even animals have rights, though
they are unable to contend for them.
Where a horse or cow has for vears
devoted service to ite owners it is en-
titled to some favors for so doing. The
humane man is as considerate of his
faithful animals as of his servants, and
will endeavor to make them comfor-
table and contented.
The Rothschilds’ Fortune.
At Present it is Said to Foot Up to Ten Thou-
sand Million.
The fortune of the Rothschilds has
often been mentioned in print, but the
Paris Signal gives some new and in-
teresting information about it. Ac:
cording to thie authority, the total
wealth of the Rothschild family at the
present time amounts to 10,000,000,000
francs, of which the French branch
possesses 1,000,000,000. In 1875 they
bad less than half this sum, showing
that their fortune has doubled in 18
years. In 1800 the grandfather of the
present generation of Rothschilds had
nothing, his financial success begin-
ning after the battle of Waterloo. It
is estimated that in 1965 their fortune
will, if continuing to grow as hereto-
fore, amount to the stupendous sum of
300,000,000,000 francs. The interest
on this capital would be sufficient to
sustain 37,000,000 people, that is, the
entire present population of France.

An Experiment.
It was at the theatre, and the young
man had seen the play before. He let
everybody for four seats around know
that, and he kept telling just what was
coming and just how funny it would be
when it did come. He had a pretty
girl with him, and he was trying to
amuse her. At length he said :—
“Did you ever try listening to a play
with your eyes shut ? You've no idea
how queer it seems.”
A middle-aged man with a red face
sat just in front. He twisted himself
about in his seat and glared at the
young man.
“Young man,” said he, ‘did you ever
try listening to a play with your mouth
shut ?”
And the silence was almost painful.
ST
An Elastic Atmosphere.
“No,” said the gentleman from
Boomville, “I wouldn’t like to brag
about the invigorating quality of the at-
mosphere out our way, but will simply
cite that a feller in our town is making
a good living by compressing it and
sending it East to bicycle riders to use
in filling their tires. It has such elastic
and lively qualities that the speed of the
machine is increased from 40 to 80 per
cent.
CE ESHEETS,
—1It 1s a popular fallacy, industri-
ously propagated by the so-called pa-
triotic societies, that the peril to Amer-
ican institutions is owing to the for-
eigners among us. Rev. Lyman Ab-
bott, Mr. Beecher’s successor at Ply-
mouth church, attacks this notion,
and says the peril comes from the in-
ertia and indifference of American born
citizens in their municipal affairs. To
that may be added making local con-
cerns tura on national politics. The
bosses in all our large cities are Amer-
ican born. The foreigner is the ex-
ception. The cream of municipal
plunder is gathered by the natives, and
and they are responsible for low-grade
politics.
——A man who measures more
about the waist than he does from
head to foot is one of the proud pro-
ducts of Bucks County. His name is
John Buck, and he lives at Bucks-
ville. John, although only 23 years
old, now weighs 350 pounds and is still
growing. His height is just 64 inches,
and he measures 72 inches about the
girth. If he has an equal living, he
is anxious to know it, and may be ad-
Srened at Bucksville, Bucks County,
a.
——Archbishop Farrar made over
$40,000 out of his three books, ¢The
Life of Christ,”” “The Life of St. Paul,”
and “Early Days of Christianity.” Ie
was only a comparatively unknown cu-
rate when one of his sermons attracted
the attention of a publisher, who imme-
diately commissicned him to visit Pal-
estine in order to write a biography of
Christ. This was how his gift of writ-
ing was first discovered.
——An interesting person in diplo-
matic circles is Baron de Staal, who has
been designated by the new Czar to
succeed the late M. de Giers as Chan-
cellor of the Muscovite Empire. He is
described as the beau ideal of the for-
eign diplomat, with long flowing white
whiskers.
—— Assistant—That actress ought
to be a great success. She has a
European reputation.
Manager—Yeg, and now she wants
an American salary.
——Cholly—It wained so hard I had
to get under shelter.
She—Who told vou it

Valued Endorsement.
SCHAGHTICOKE, N. Y.—It is ignor-
ance rather than anything else that
makes life miserable, but ignorance of
the value of Dr. David Kennedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy does not exist in Schagh-
ticoke to-day, as a blood medicine and
rerve tonic it stands supreme. One of
the principal reasons for its popularity
comes from the great benefit our fellow
townsman, Andrew Sipperley derived
from its use. Mr. Sipperley has suffered
for years past, with a chronic kidney
trouble, frequent bilious attacks, and at
intervals with violent neuralgia in the
head and face. Up to last fall he rare-
ly knew a well day. At that time his
wife who had learned of the good Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy had ac-
complished, determined to have him use
it. In writing about his sickness, Mr.
Sipperly said :
“For several years I was subject to
attacks of kidney trouble and gravel,
which was attended with most excrucia-
ting pain, but since I began the use of
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
I have had no serious trouble, and my
general health is greatly improved.
know of a great many people about
here who have used Favorite Remedy,
and in every instance benefit has fol-
lowed. One of the officers of the Al-
bany, N. Y., Hospital recently said, in
speaking of Favorite Remedy: “I
know of its great medical value, and to
my knowledge it cures the diseases for
which it is prepared.”
The great value of Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy lies in the fact
that it dissolves the excess of uric acid
in the blood. Such ailments as rheu-
matism, neuralgia, nervousness, and the
sickness peculiar to women all come
from this one cause. Favorite Remedy
dissolves this acid, thus curing the dis-
ease. In cases of scrofula, diabetes and
Bright's disease, it has cured where
other treatments have failed.

United States, on the Sth instant, was

Garb Bill Reported Favorably.
HARRISBURG, April 24.—In the San-
ate to-day the house bill to prohibit the
wearing of religious garbs by school
teachers was favorably reported.
——For whooping cough Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy is excellent. By
using it freely the disease is deprived of
all dangerous consequences. There is
no danger in giving the remedy to
babies, as 1t contains nothing injurious.

HARNESS HOUSE
We extend a most cordial invitation to 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 iu
lesther. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
Weare prepared to offer better bargalans 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
Jou 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.

men during the winter they were all put tc
work in my factory, nevertheless the big (7)
