. Bellefonte, Pa., May 15, 1896. —mg— FARM NOTES. — Weeds seem to curse every farm, and they put “in an appearance during the whole of the growing season, being propa- gated by seeds and from the roots. As to he source from whence they come, it may. be difficult to explain, as light seeds are carried by winds, but in a majority of cases weeds are allowed to produce seeds on the farms after the cultivation of the regular crops has ceased. Some farmers are wil- ling to give their crops thorough cultiva- tion as long as the growth of the crops de- mand such work, but they will not give cultivation simply to benefit the land for the next year. It is during this interval— between the end of cultivation and the ap- pearance of frost—that the weeds have their golden opportunity. They flourish and seed the land for the next season’s pro- duction of weeds. It is not impossible to destroy weeds entirely, and especially if the farmers of a neighborhood will work together for that purpose, as even the Can- ada thistle has been exterminated on well- kept farms by cultivating a crop ‘which Te- quired the hoeas well as the cultivator. INJURY FROM SPRING WEEDS. The early weeds, no matter how small they may be, feed upon the plant food in- tended for the crop and also appropriate moisture. They grow rapidly, because they are usually well adapted to the cli- mate, and are also indigenous to the soil. When the weeds are young the plants of the crop are also young, and there is com- petition for supremacy. Usually the weeds excel in numbers and crowd the plants un- til the farmer comes to the assistance of the crop. On land that is rich, or where manure or fertilizers have been applied, the weeds will always hold the mastery, and a difference of only two or three days in de- ~ stroying them may seriously interfere with the crop. There can, therefore, be no post- ponement of cultivation for destroying weeds, and especially where the rainfall has not been up to the average, as weeds can take up an enormous amount of moist- ure from the soil in 24 hours. USING THE CULTIVATOR. An implement known as the weeder is now used for young weeds. It can be drawn by one horse and destroys them without injuring other plants. This is done as soon as the weeds begin to appear above ground, and the harrow also does good service at times. If the killing of the weeds is done when they are young there will be a saving of labor later in the season, and the cultivator need not be used until the top soil requires loosening, as sur- face cultivation is better than tearing the roots of some crops. Every time the soil is stirred, and a shower comes, more weed seeds will germinate, and in a short time there will be but few weeds left. So much for the early weeds. The next duty is to keep on with the work of killing weeds wherever they put in an appearance, and not give up the ground to them because the crop is made. If weeds are allowed to grow to the height of several inches they will then have deprived the land of fertili- ty, but if destroyed when young they can do but little damage. —Celery requires very rich and yet moist soil. It should be made rich by previous manuring, as a large amount of fresh ma- nure put on the year the crop is grown makes the soil too dry, and though the celery will grow rank for a time, it will be- come dry and pithy. If the soil in which celery is to be grown is found not rich enough, some quick acting nitrogenous commercial fertilizer will be found more profitable as well as cheaper than the quan- tity of stable manure needed to secure an equal amount of growth. The commercial fertilizer will not dry out the land as sta- ble manure will. : —Sheep are partial to short grass and will travel over a field of long grass to se- lect the short herbage. White cloveris the best of all the foods for sheep and they pre- fer it to other kinds. When seeding old pastures, or beginning with the new, white clover seed should be used liberally. Sheep will seek the shade during the day, prefer- ing to graze after the sun begins to set, and it is for that reason that they cannot be shut up at night as a protection against dogs. —Smith Hawley, of Michigan, ina lec- _ture before the horticultural society of the State, said that the picture so often seen in agricultural papers of a man standing on a wagon and throwing spray into apple trees as he was drawn along is a delusion. To do thorough work one must go all about a tree and throw spray upon it from every direction. When the work is properly - “fe the trees will retain their foliage until . “the snow falls and will produce much fruit on off years. —Green food will be of advantage, even in summer, and with good pastures. By growing a crop of oats and peas they may . be used at night, after the cows come off the pasture, and will be accepted readily. Cut the green food two or three hours be- | fore the cows come up and allow it to dry some. Then sprinkle with salt and water and feed it in the troughs or racks. —A pretty circle of flowers may be had by placing a canna in the centre and sur-: rounding it with dwarf nasturtiums. If the circle is large a bunch of pampas grass, with several cannas next, and then the nas- turtiums, will give a pleasing effect, being not only ornamental, but will cost but very little. —Never water the flowers in the fiower vard during the middle of the day, but in the evening, after the sun goes down. To every gallon of water add a teaspoonful of nitrate of soda, and the same of phosphate of potash, using the crude substances, as they are cheaper than the refined. —Several varieties of foreign grapes have heen tested in this section and with satis- factory results so far as hardness is con- cerned, but they do not seem to bear pay- ing crops and cannot compete with our na- tive kinds in the market. —1If pansy plants are allowed to produce seed they will soon cease flowering. For that reason the flowers should be clipped off 50 as to obtain a constant supply. They require rich ground. —When we import nearly 18,000,000 pounds of shoddy and half the wool con- sumed by our mills, it don’t look as if] sheep raising were overdone in this coun- try. Plant early Egyptian or eclipse beets now, and they will give ‘an early supply. Do not cover with too much earth and be sure that the seed is good. _ —The annual wool production of Africa is 132,000,000 pounds, of which Cape Col- ony, Nature and the Orange Free State fur- nished 97,500,000 pounds. Judge Reed Will Retire. He Leaves the Lake Erie to Take Charge of Carnegie’s Ore Road.—To Have Complete Control. Judge J. H. Reed, for many years an of- ficer and director of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railroad, has retired as vice president of that company to become the chairman of the board of directors of the Pittsburg & Butler railroad company, and president of the Union railroad company. ~~ The selection of Judge Reed for this posi- tion was announced yesterday, and is au- thoritatively confirmed. As chairman of the board of directors of the Pittsburg & Butler, Judge Reed will practically be the head of the new lake line, and his selection for the position is an assurance that the affairs of the road will be ably managed, as to his ability, much of the suc- cess of the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, which is one of the best paying properties in the country, is largely due. The successor of Judge Reed as vice president of the Lake Erie has not been named yet, and it is not known who will be chosen. . Work on the new line will be commenced at an early date, and when completed, the road will greatly benefit all classes of ship- pers in Pittsburg. A few days ago the United States senate passed 75 private pension bills in 60 min- utes. There has been a great flood of pri- vate bills of this character at this season. The general pension laws meet almost ev- ery deserving case ; and a private bill gen- erally indicates that the applicant has been rejected by the pension office authorities as not coming under existing laws, which were made to cover almost every rightful case. A tendency is noted these days for making liberal allowances by private bills in the way of pensions for the familics of deceased officers. They are given much more by these bills than the regular statu- tory allowance, and much more than goes to the widows of private soldiers who died in the service or fell in the battle. It is impossible that the senate in passing 75 of these bills in 60 minutes should give them the investigation and consideration that should be exercised in voting away the people’s money. Some of the cases, no doubt, are meritorious. Others are not, but rest for success on the work and in- fluence of the member championing the bill. Of course there is the usual log roll- ing in this sort of special legislation. Music as a Hair Grower. An English statistician has demonstrated the fact that music has a direct and won- derful influence upon the growth of the hair. Among the composers the percent- age of baldness is 12 per cent, which is about the average of people generally. Performers on the piano, violin or other string instruments retain their hair up to a late period in life. In the case of piano players especially the hirsute growth is ag- gressive, and violinists are a close second. Recall the shocks worn by many of the eminent pianists and violinists of the past twenty-five years. Performing on brass in- struments, notably the cornet, French horn, trombone, or tuba, is ‘‘demonstrated”’ to superinduce baldness, and massive brows that reach around to the back of the neck are so general in the regimental bands of European armies as to have given rise to the diagnosis of ‘trumpet baldness.” Just Nature, That's All. I don’t know why it is, buta woman will never answer you frankly, directly, and point blank, if you ask her what size shoes she wears. She won’t say, ‘‘I wear threes or fours’’—fours being the average size of the feminine shoe. She will say— and if you don’t believe mé, try it—‘‘Well, these are fours,”” with the emphasis on “these,” quite as. if ‘‘these’’ weren’t all the shoes she habitually wears, but some- body else’s, slipped on entirely by accident. She usually adds, ‘‘but they’re miles too big for me.” Why does shedo it? That’s a sphinx’s riddle. Barnard college, the feminine annex to Columbia university, New York, was promised $100,000 by an anonymous phil- anthropist upon condition that a similar sum was raised by the friends of the col- lege to cancel the mortgage upon its site. After the sum of $532,000 had been raised a gentleman whose name was temporarily concealed, but who turned out to be John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Chicago university, offered to give $25,000 provided others gave $23,000 by midnight on Sat- urday. The challenge was accepted ‘and gallantly won, so that Barnard is richer now by $200,000 than she was on Saturday morning.
