Bellefonte, Pa., May 17, 1895.
Farm Notes.
—The whole host of leaf-eating 1n-
sects which feed on the apple tree, such
as the tent caterpillar, red-humped ap-
ple tree caterpillar, yellow-necked ap-
ple tree caterpillar, fall webb worm,
tussock moth, canker worms, etc.,
must be fought with Paris green used
at the rate of one pound to 250 gallons
of water. Other insects which suck
the juices from the leaves and young
wood, such as the aphis, tree cricket
and bark louse, must be destroyed by
the kerosene emulsion. This is made
according to the following formula:
Hard soap, one-half pound (or soap
about one-half gallon); hot water, one
gallon ; coal oil, two gallons.
—Prevention is better than cure
when dealing with the blight that af
fects apple leaves. The germs of the
fungus will usually be found on the
buds whence are to come the leaves
and blossoms. If the grower waits
until these leaves have put forth many
of them will be injured as soon as the
buds are broken. In the tender leaf
the scab spreads very ‘rapidly. The
first application of Bordeaux wixture
should be before the buds have opened.
That will do more good than two ap-
plications later. The mixture can also
be put on stronger than will be advis-
able gn the leaves, as the buds are not
liable to injury.
—Get the start on the weeds or they
will get ahead of you. The first culti-
vation given a crop is the most impor-
tant, for if it is not done thoroughly,
and any weeds remain, the hoe may be
required to clean them out. A little
extra care at first, and doing the work
at the right time, will save labor.
Weeds can be destroyed when they
are young and the field easily cleaned.
One or two thorough workings will
leave but few, if any, to aonoy you as
the season advances.
—Do not make the mistake of al-
lowing the pasture to be occupied too
soon, nor permit it to be trampled be-
fore the grass gets an opportunity to
grow. Pastures are usually very clean
looking, showing but little grass, the
cows being compelled to pick over the
field. A scarcity of pasture forces the
cows to walk over a large area, and a
long time is required before they find
a full meal. This lack of food will be
noticed in the reduced quantity of the
milk.
— Peanuts can be raised in the North
as well as in the South. They thrive
best on light, sandy soil. Northern
growers claim that they do not fill out
well, but this difficulty may be lessen-
ed by applying lime to the soil in the
autumn before planting. Even an ap-
plication of lime at this season, before
planting the seed, will be found of ad-
vantage.
—When honey can be obtained from
the flowers it is useless to try to ‘feed
the bees in any other way. They pre-
fer the fresh nectar from the flora, and
will gather it and store it in the combs,
entirely ignoring all the food placed be-
fore them. The effort of some to for-
ward this storing is time and effort
thrown away.
—Watermelons and cantaloupes may
now be planted, as they should go in
early if all danger of frost is over.
Make the hills rich, using plenty of
manure, and also broadcast manure
over the ground that is to be used.
Melcns produce large vines, and require
an enormous amount of food if fine,
large fruit is expected.
—TIt is difficult to distribute a pound
of turnip seed evenly over an acre of
ground, and email roots will result if
more is used. If the pound is mixed
thoroughly with a peck of sand, a
quantity is obtained which can be
handled and distributed with a consid-
erable degree of exactness.
—Keep cream at about 60 degrees.
Do not allow it to become to warm.
It is not advisable to mix cream of dif-
terent ages. Much poor butter is made
because cream is kept too long while
waiting to accumulate enough for a
churning, which often happens where
but one or two cows are kept.
—Lima beans should be planted,
and not only should manure be appli-
ed in the hills, but fertilizers also, as
the vines grow rapidly and require
soluble food from the start. The bush
beans are the earliest, but the pole
beans are the best in quality.
— An experienced swine grower says
in an exchange that soaked corn will
give as good or better results than
corn meal, but wheat should be ground
fine always, the finer the better, and
when thus prepared is one of the best
hog feeds in the world.
—The great secret in fancy butter
making, says a dairy writer, is a stud-
ied purpose to keep all foreign sub-
stances and flavors out of the milk,
cream and butter, and have only origi-
nal material from startto finish, and
fancy butter results.
—Whitewashing can be done easily
and rapidly with the sprayer. Usea
thin whitewash and force it from the
nozzle on to the walls, When dry re-
peat the application. It is excellent
for purifying the stables and poultry
houses.
—The Pennsylvania station flods
that currants do well on their heavy
clay soil and were very little troubled
with mildew. A single application of
white hellebore afforded complete pro-
tection from the imported currant
worm,
—When suckers appear at the base
of an apple tree let them grow until a
Landslide Buries a Train.
Pennsylvania Railroad Blocked by a Mighty
Avalanche.
Hu~tingpoN, Pa., May 11.—A
mighty landslide occurred this after-
noon at Mount Union, which buried 17
Pennsylvania Railroad cars and block-
ed all travel for many hours.
Asan east-bound freight train was
passing through the narrow defile west
of Mount Union, this county, shortly
before 4 o'clock, the side otf Terrace
Mountain, lying parallel with the Penn-
gylvania road, slid down upon the
tracks for a distance of nearly one mile,
covering the roadbed with thousands of
tons of rocks and earth. The landslide
covered the tender of the engine and 17
cars of the train, burying them out of
sight.
None of the train hands were injur-
ed. Theslide was caused, it is believ-
ed by a cloudburst, which occurred
just previous during a terrible electric
storm.
All the available wrecking crews on
the Middle Division are hard at work
removing the debris.
HOW TRAINS GET THROUGH.
HarrisBURG, Pa.. May 11.—Penn-
sylvania Railroad officials say that they
are running all trains to-night (owing
to the wreck in Huntingdon county)
by way of the Philadelphia & Erie road
to Lock Haven, thence over the Bald
Eagle Valley road to Tyrone. They
expect to have the track open by 4
o'clock to-morrow morning, but that is
uncertain, as the rain is still pouring
in torrents, and the land of either side
of the track is still sliding. The fast
line West went to Lewiston, and then to
Lock Haven, going over the Bald
Eagle Valley to Tyrone. St. Louis ex-
press went’ from here to Lock Haven
direct, thence to Tyrone.
WHAT LOCAL OFFICIALS SAY.
While the landslide seven miles this
side of Huntingdon interrupts travel,
through passengers will be sent via
of Sunbury, Williamsport and Lock
Haven to Altoona, causing a delay of
about seven hours. Passengers for
points as far west as Mount Union will
experience no delay. Travelers from
the West will come through without
change of cars via Williamsport, mak-
ing a detour north from Tyrone.
A Syracuse Lady’
Suffered From Heart Trouble, Liver Complaint
and Rheumatism, and Was Cured.
The efficacy of Dr. 'Kennedy’s Fav-
orite Rernedy was substantially provent
in the case of Mrs. C. S. Abell, of this
city.
Mrs. Abell lives at No. 114 Roberts
avenue, where she was seen by a report-
er. She talked freely of her case and
said : “For a number of years I have
been troubled with liver complaint and
rheumatism that made me almost help-
less. I becameso ill I could scarcely
walk across the floor. One of our home
physicians informed me that I had
heart trouble and began treating me for
that. His treatment did no good. One
day I read of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy which I purchased, and began
taking, and improved greatly. I have
now taken six bottles, and was never so
well in my life. I can say nothing but
kind words for Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy, to which I owe so
much. I know of another case in which
Favorite Remedy restored to health a
friend who was thought incurable.”
Mrs. Abell also said she would be
glad to describe her case to any sufferer.
The family are quite as profuse in their
praise of Favorite Remedy as Mrs.
Abell herself.
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Rem-
edy is a never failing specific in disease
of the skin and blood. It restores the
disordered liver to a healthy condition
and corrects constipation. It is a cer-
tain cure for the diseases peculiar to
women. It cures scrofula, salt rheum,
erysipelas nervousness loss of sleep, or
that worn out feeling. In cases of
rheumatism, dyspepsia, Bright's disease,
gravel diabetes and bladder trouble, it
has cured where all else failed. Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is
sold by all dealers in medicine at $1 a
bottle or six bottles for $5.
There is many an amirble young
gentleman who flatters himself that he
is a devil of a fellow simply because
he goes about with a cloven breath.

——The death of Dr. Joan W. By-
ron, in New York, from tuberculosis
(consumption) contracted, it is believed
while he was working in a bacteriologi-
cal laboratory in New York, makes
him a martyr to science. This Iabora-
tory work in tuberculesis that has un-
fortunately proved so tragic was not Dr.
Byron's chief claim to distinction, as he
was the hero of the cholora scare in
New York in 1892, as he fearlessly
went to work among the cholera cases
and by his attention to duty in the
midst of danger won the admiration of
his brethren the country over. The
work of the bacteriologist among the
virulent germs of loathsome diseases, it
is shown by Dr. Byron’s death, is at-
tended by grave risks, and his heroic
self-sacrifice cannot fail to lift him and
his professional comrades on tv a higher
plane in the estimation of the world at
large, for their sacrifice is on behalf of
suffering humanity.
—— A lady at Tooleys, La., was very
sick with bilious colic when M. C. Tis-
ler, a prominent merchant of the town
gave her a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy.
He says she was well in forty minutes
after taking the first dose. For sale by

AINT CRACKS.—It often costs
more to prepare a house for repaint-
ing that has been painted in the first place
with cheap ready-mixed paints, than it would
to have painted it twice with strictly pure
white lead, ground in pure linseed oil.
STRICTLY PURE
WHITE LEAD
forms a permanent base for
repainting and never has tobe
burned or scraped off on ac-
count of scaling or cracking.
It is always smooth and clean.
To be sure of getting strictly
pure white lead, purchase any
of the following brands:
“ARMSTRONG & McKELVY,”
“BEYMER-BAUMAN,”
“DAVIS.CHAMBERS,"”
“FAHNESTOCK.”
For CorLors.—Mational Lead Co.'s

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 & 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
Wwe want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense

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 worl-
men during the winter they were all put to
