wren, Demorralic atc Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 25, 1895. rs Farm Notes. —When the ground is cold but not too bard to work is an excellent time to plow if cutworms are numerous in the soil. Exposure to dampness and severe cold above ground will destroy them. ; —The farmer who considers his tax for roads too heavy may be willing to expend twice his proportion this sea- son for better roads. Every winter the loss to farmers from bad roads isgreat- er than from any other cause where there is much hauling to be done. —Any refuse in the barnyard that is not added to the manure heap is a breeding place for fleas and other pests. A thorough raking and clean- ing of the places where refuse material, such as straw, leaves, chaff, etc., will lessen the number of insects next sea- son. —It is very questionable if it is ad- visahle to keep a cow after she has passed her ninth year. The principal reason is that although she may still give fully as good a flow of milk, yet the increased cost of her keep will materially lessen the opportunity for profit. —Try a small plot ot winter oats, by sowing the seed now. The praciice of sowing oats in the fall is general in States south of Pennsylvania, and larger Selds of grain and better straw are thus obtained than by seeding in the spring. The fall sowing of oats is worthy ci an experiment in this sec- tion. — The abundance of fruit this year may cause a lack of interest in fruit growing, and some farmers will aban. don the cultivation of small fruits; hence there may be a scarcity next season. The better plan is to hold on to fruit of all kinds. The indications for next year are not in.sight, but it is possible that the supply may not be . abundant. —Ezccllent work may be done in looking for borers in apple, pear and peach trees. Such work has no doubt been done several times, but it may be repeated to advantage. A sharp-point- ed piece of wire run into the holes will destroy them, but many do not get at the borersin that manner, hence an ex erienced person should be engaged to assist if necessary. » —The fruit taken from trees is mostly water, but the trees perform heavy eervice in producing the seeds of the fruit: The tax in that respect is severe on peaches, cherries and plums, and the heavy yield of apples and pears this year will weaken the trees. The use of bonemeal around the trees this fall will be of advantage in repair ing the loss of phosphates in the seeds. —From extensive tests had at the Texas etation, 87 per cent. of the pigs fed on cotton seed meal have died, and this result soon follows the feeding of it to swine upon the farms. Its effect upon horses is not good, though there are no accurate tests reported. There seems to have been no ill effects from feeding it to steers and dairy cows, but it is fatal to young calves. —We have never given root crops sufficient attention in this country. With increasing acreage and greater skill it may yet be profitable to raise potatoes for feeding purposes. Beets, turnips and potatoes are relished by stock, are healthy and easily raised and enter into a good balanced ration for winter feeding for all stock. Car- rots are especially good for horses. —There are hundreds of who have cows,/yé& who have never geen a cream separator Some of | them scout the implement as being im- perfect. The old system of permitting the cream to rise is as yet, to them, the true method. The separator is an established appliance on all well-regu- lated dairy farms, as it not only saves labor, but accomplishes in a few wmin- utes the process which formerly re- quired hours. —In putting up eggs for winter use care should be taken to-save only those which have not been stained and soiled. The egg shell is very porous, and, even if all the dirt is washed off, some of the germs which cause the egg to rot will be introduced. It is likely, also, that immersing the egg in cold water will destroy the germ which will produce the chick. But merely sprinkling the egg with water does not injure them for hatching. It is often done, but the water should be tepid or warm. —One of the problems in keeping bees during the winter is to avoid injury from seyere cold and also from an excess of warmth created by the bees in the hives. Provide a suitable place for the hives, 80 as to- endeavor to keep the interior of the hives at an even temperature. Thousands of bees are destroyed during late fall, winter, and early in the spring by the bees coming out on warm days, when they perish by being caught away from the hives during a sudden change to colder weather. —The cost of producing eggs on farme where the hens have a free range, and can fully supply their own wants with plenty of graes, insects and seeds that would otherwise be wasted without the aid of poultry, is almost nothing in summer, but in winter, when the whole of the food must be provided, the cost of a dozen eggs ranges from six to twelve cents, accord- ing to the profligacy of the hens in proportion to the food consumed. Al though eggs bring high prices in win- ter, the profits are greater in. summer, because eggs are then produced at no farmers | Insanity. Two or three centuries ago it was cus- tomary to deal with the insans in a way that to us seems simply barbarous. The unfortunate victims of mental dis- ease were then thrust into dungeons and often chained there. They were scourg- ed at times with whips and clubs, and not infrequently they were burned or otherwise executed for witchcraft. Our ancestors, remote and less remote, did not know that in treating the in- sane like dangerous beasts they were acting inhumanely. Enslaved to cus- tom—as we all are—they dealt with the insane as custom dictated. They thought the scourge a righteous instrument for casting out devils, and it was not bad but misguided hearts that gave the pyre approval. In other words, it was igno- rance, not viciousness, that swung the lash and plied the faggot to the destruc- tion of the pitiable victim of mental disease. ‘We of to-day do not scourge the in- sane or chain them in dungeons. About a century ago three or four wise physi- cians—Pinel in France, Tuke in Scot- land, Rush in America—taught the people that insanity is not a curse but a disease, and when this new idea had had time to make its way against the prevailing misconception—when ignor- ance was in some measure banished—a new era dawned for the insane. To-day kindness, gentleness, tolerance, pity are the mottoed\of those who deal directly with the unfortunate, once called a madmar or lunatic. There are about 6,000 insane patients in the asylums of New York city. The buildings in which these patients are housed have a normal capacity of about 4,000 inhabitants. Some of the build- ings are new and reasonably good, but many of them are old and ill-adopted for asylum purposes, The Red Haired Woman. A long list of famous and historical red haired women could be made by one who cared to take the trouble. Both the Catherines who made Rus- sia great; Maria Theresa, who saved Austria and made it the Empire it is ; Queen Elizabeth of England, Anne of Austria, who ruled France so long; Catherine Borgia and Marie Antoin- ette all had red hair. Is is believed that the ‘Serpent of old Nile” had burning golden locks which made her the wonder and admiration of the swarthy black haired Egyptians. Tit- ian’s red-haired women are world- famous, and Henner portrays all of his beauties with hair of the most un- modified shade. And the maiden with tresses like burnished copper no long: er winces at the mention of a white horse, nor does she soak her locks in || oil and comb them with poisonous lead combs. On the contrary, it is now the black and brown-haired sisterhood who try to obtain by artifice what belongs to the auburn-haired girl by nature— and fail most conspicuously! ——There will come a time in this State when the flowers and the forests will be preserved and cared for by au- thority of the State, and when maraud- ers who have seared and blasted the face of nature will be punished just as those who do violence to the beauties of onr national parks are punished. It is becoming increasingly apparent to thoughtful people that unless some steps of this sort are taken the attrac- tions with which the Creator has clothed the planet will vanish from this part of it, and instead of those natural pleas- ures which elevate the thoughts and minister to a refined taste there will be nothing but the blackness of desolation. Against the coming of such an evil hour it is the duty of every good citizen to exert whatever influence there may be at his command. ——“Hullo, Fatty,” said the Copy- book to the Dictionary. “Hullo, Thinny !”’ retorted the Dic- tionary. “You're a wordy said the Copy-book. “You're an empty thing, Thinny,” ‘#aid the Dictionary. “Bound to have the last word, eh, Fatty !”” sneered the Copy-book. “Need it in my business, Thinny,” said the Dictionary, and the Umbrella in the library corner laughed so hard that it bent one of its ribs.— Harper's Round Table. person, Fatty,” — —The boodlers at Harrisburg last winter had no money for many worthy State charities but they added over $300,000 to the cost of State govern- ment. Evidently the idea of the Ad- ministration is that the chariety begins at home. . ——The Russian thistle grows un- checked in many Nebraska counties, and the overseers charged with extirpa- ting them are in sparsley settled coun- Altoona Will Have to Stop Dumping into the Juniata. At a meeting of the board of Health of Hollidaysburg resolutions were adopted authorizing the solicitor to pro- ceed by a bill in equity to prevent the Juniata river by the dumping therein of the sewage of Altoona. The river flows from Hollidaysburg and this ac- tion was necessitated as a protection to the public health. It is expected that the health boards of other towns along the Juniata will proceed in like manner against Altoona, and compel the latter: municipality to adopt a system of filter- ation tor its sewage. New Operations Near Clearfield. A railroad, forty-five miles in length, will be constructed next spring by the Pennsylvania company, which |- will connect DuBois with Karthaus. Pittsburg capitalists have leased a large tract of land in the section through which a new road will pass and which land is above Clearfield. They intend to erect a firebrick plant to work up the fire clay found on the tract, to build;a saw mill for cutting the lumber and to put up a mill for sawing stone TREATMENT OF ECZEMA AND SALT RuEUM.—These two complaints are so tenacious that the readers of the WATCH- MAN should know of the success obtain- ed by using Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. Where all other treatments have failed, it bas made a complete cure. Perhaps no more horrible case of Salt Rheum was ever reported than that of Wilbur L. Hale, quartermaster, Pratt Post, G. A. R., Rondout, N.Y. Sever- al physicians utterly failed to render him any relief ; finally one of the phy- sicians suggested that Dr. Kennedy's Favority Remedy be tried and steady improvement followed its use, and a permanent cure resulted. ” It is used with similar success in cases of scrofula, nervousness, kidney and liv- er complaints, and in all diseases brought about by bad blood andg’ atter- ed nerves. ——Here is news for Governor Mec- Kinley from his own section of Ohio, where he is wont to preach calamity as inseparable from tanff reform. A dis- patch from Youngstown says ‘‘the ship- ment of 500 tons of wash-metal product, which bas just been made to England by the Youngstown steel company, ‘is the first consignment of a large order, and in sending this metal to the old country Youngstown’s industries com- peted against the world.’”” And all this under the Wilson tariff. ——The full moon nearest the au- tumnal equinox is called the harvest moon—not a very felicitous name in view of the fact that the orb has got a chill at present. The peculiarity of this moon is that it rises for several days nearly at sunset, and about the same time, instead of fifty-two minutes later each successive day as usual. Way Do You Live !— “I live for those who love me, For those who know me true, For the heavens that bend above me, And the good that I can do.” But, O that fate would give me, And hundreds say so too, Some safe and potent agency That would my health renew. Of course, because then you would be more useful to your fellowmen. Well, that wished for agency is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. There is nothing that can compare with the “Discovery’’ as a curative agent for sour stomach, constipation, impure blood, biliousness, liver and kidney troubles. Pierce guarantees a cure. ——A few nights ago the house of W. E. Patchin, at Burnside, Clearfield county, was entered by thieves who se- cured $175 in money, checks to the amount of $195 two gold watches, three suits of clothes, silverware, etc. —— Look out for colds at this season.
