Demorvaic Paty Bellefonte, Pa., June 26, 1896. FARM NOTES. —A cow that is heated and worried will not milk well, and her milk will not make good butter. —If there is no shade in the pasture and the field is next to the woods, fence in an acre or two of the wood lot for a cow shade; it will pay. . - —Some farmers have a pasture near the barn to use as a night pasture. The soil- ing crop should be also near the barn for ‘convenience in feeding it. —Finely cut clover with bran or mid- dlings, makes an excellent mess for hogs. Young pigs that have heen completely weaned will also relish it and thrive upon it. —A Western breeder states that he finds the sunflower plant, cut at any time after the seed heads form, highly relished by hogs, the whole plant being given them. -—Some of the county fairs propose to add to their attractions walking races for coun- try horses. It is a good idea, as it is more important for the farm horse to cultivate a ~ fast walk than a fast trot. —A good buttermaker has that the main point in making granular butter is to have the temperature low enough to prevent ad- hesion of the globules when they appear and to stop the churn while they are in that condition. —The ground for late cabbage should be prepared. Plow deep, harrow, apply fer- tilizer, and harrow again. After setting out the plants sprinkle a tablespoonful of nitrate of soda around each plant and they will grow rapidly. —If the early peas have been picked feed the vines to the cows and then plant string beans or late potatoes on the plot oc- cupied by the peas. Inthis mannor two crops can be secured on the same land dur- ing the year if it is rich enough. —The poultry breeder is too often looked upon as a crank, although he has bred poultry as skillfully and intelligently as - any raiser of cattle or horses. The science of hreeding is just as applicable to poultry as to other farmstock, but the majority haveno thought of breeding especially for eggs or the table. —The sool nights of June have delayed the growth of tender plants, such as Lima beans, melons, squash, tomatoes, etc., and the best remedy is cultivation. The re- cent rains will assist in giving the plants plenty of moisture, but loosening of the soil permits the warmth to reach the roots and promote growth. —There is money in buying a poor farm cheap and ‘‘bringing it up,’’ if a man has a faculty towards that end ; but the majority will endeavor to crop their whole area at once, while they and their farm both grow poorer. It is far wiser for the owner to en- deavor but to produce sustenance for him- self and his stock, and devote all other ef- fort to the remaining land. ~Sheep suffer very much from ticks dur- ing warm weather, and they will not thrive under such conditions, no matter how well treated they may be otherwise. Dipping is the remedy and it should never be de- layed, Itis considered a disagreeable job, and especially during this busy period, but it must be done if the sheep are to be re- lieved of ticks. —In this country we have many honey plants which are ignored, except by the hees, who detect their presence afar off and fly to them for their treasures. Bee keep- ers have not yet demonstrated by actual experiment whether it would pay to culti- vate these wild plants for the bees, or whether it is more profitable to let them grow wild undisturbed. —Many farmers ridicule theory. It is but fair to admit that a theory does not make a fact, but when an enterprising man theorizes, experiments and demon- strates that there is truth in his theory he is on the path to discovery and may in the future cause a revolution in some branch of agriculture. Theory is only the fore- runner of practice. —It is estimated that the rains bring down about ten pounds of nitrogen per acre in a year, which it derives from the atmosphere in the form of an ammonia and nitric acid. This is retained in the soil to a certain extent, weeds and other natural growth of plants indigenous to the soil us- ing the nitrogen as sources of food, which is returned to the soil when plowed under. : —Anrsenate of lead is a new insecticide, and was discovered in 1893 in Massachu- setts, in the attempt to exterminate the gipsy moth. When used in proportions of from 1} to 4 pounds to 150 gallons of water it can be safely applied to plants. It leaves a white coating on the trees, thus. indicating the leaves that have been spray- ed and it does not injure plants. It is also cheaper than paris green. —1It is a remarkable fact that in many sections of this State farmers travel over muddy roads, sometimes being blocked in winter, yet they pile up the ‘stones from their fields and often have no use for them if fencing is done with wire. Not a rod from a mud road may often be found stone enough to make a first-class road, and yet it seems as though stone had never been thought of for the purpose. —A great deal of butter that comes to market is oversalted. If it was worked more thoroughly to remove the white flakes of casein much less salv will be need- ed. The public taste demands butter with much less salt in it than was formerly re- quired. If butter comes to the market oversalted the fact is presumptive evidence that something has been neglected in mak- ing the butter of best qnality and that the excess of salt is used to hide the defect. ' —As a substitute for hay where the crop is short millet may be sown now. It isa crop that produces well on rich land and also grows where grass will not thrive. It is one of the best weed destroyers that can be used, is a summer crop, and is highly relished by cattle and horses. Hungarian grass, which nearly resembles millef, is also an excellent crop. It is not yet too late to seed down such crops but no delay should occur. Hungarian grass can be mowed several times during the season. —When the pasture is left to renew itself there will arrive a time when the best will disappear and give place to those of coarser kinds. The latter will thrive where the former will die out, the plant food being insufficient for the kinds that disappear. Every fall the pasture should receive a dressing of bone meal (in a very fine condition (to be followed early the next spring with potash in some form and also nitrate of soda. Lime is also ex- cellent in the fall, but it is not a suffi- cient fertilizer. a A Motherless Institutions. HARRIET TAYLOR UPTON. In most States in this Union women can- not be appointed trustees of public institu- tions, because such trustees must be elect- ors. There have been men, who kept house for themselves or had only men servants in their bachelor quarters, and yet neither they, nor their friends ever thought of these houses or flats as homes ; men have kept house bunt they have never made homes. Women are the home-makers and home-keepers. This characteristic of woman is just as important in the family. Men would think it a grave error if no one but women served on the board of trustees of soldiers homes, if only women were phy- sicians in, and superintendents of such homes. The writer smiles as she imagines what a furor would be created if all the public institutions should suddenly be tak- en out of men’s hands and put into women’s. No woman would want such a thing to happen. The writer believes that all public insti- tutions, schools, libraries, lunatic asylums, soldiers homes, etc., should have women trustees, doctors, or whatever the term may be for such officers, but she is a little more radical than many women. However she cannot see how any woman can cease from making effort to have woman trustees on hoards of all public institutions, where women and children live whether it is a lunatic asylum or a children’s home. A »| most pitiable sight is'a number of mother- less children, whose father alone is trying to plan for their future. Yet just such a man who knows that some woman must help. him out with his family cares, does not seem to think that the principle applies as well to the State. In many States women have besieged legislatures until boards of visitors have been appointed. These boards, however, have neither responsibility nor authority. They visit the institutions when they are expected and must report or make sugges- tions in writing to the trustees. The trustees need take no notice of such report. They occupy about such a position as a for- mal caller might be sympathetic and inter- ested but her help would be of littie value because of the relations she bore to the family. The writer doubts if a board of visitors does any good except to accustom men to seeing women about such institu- tions and to accustom women to serve on such boards. The time is surely coming when women and men will serve together as trustees, then will all the details of the home be un- derstood by all the members of the board. Then will woman’s tenderness, her mother heart be felt, then will many unfortunate women and children be happier and health- ier. Then will the State find that the small economies which women practice in the home will be practiced in the State. ——There is deplorable indifference of the masses over the profligacy and extrava- gance of the officials at Washington, be- cause they do not feel the direct results of the drain made upon them. And yet all the public moneys spent come from thd people through one or another channel of] taxation. The amount appropriated by the late Congress, $600,000,000, means an av- erage tax upon each man, woman and child in the United States of about nine dollars. Mifflin county’s share, therefore, is about $200,000. In return we get nothing for rivers and harbors or public buildings, in fact nothing but a few small salaries. Add to the national expense the reckless extrav- agance of our State legislators, and it can readily be seen what a drain upon our peo- ple is the profligacy of those entrusted with the duty of distributing the public funds. The strangest feature is that so many Mif- flin county voters who can illy afford ex- travagance are so ready to encourage by their votes the willful waste of their hard earnings. They fail to see who are the real sufferers.— Eu. ——He was a delicate young man in a pink shirt and duck trousers, both of which he wore in a pompous and conceited manner. He was seated in the train dang- ling his tennis racquet and busily amusing a number of bright young ladies and gen- tlemen of his party. ‘Ah, how good ! Here's the conductor. Watch me astonish him.’’ ‘‘Ticket, sir,’’ said the conducter. ‘‘My dear man,” said the young man, ‘‘my—er—{ace is my ticket.’’ The conductor smiled and looked around at the young man’s friends, and then, in a polite and apologetic manner, said, ‘‘I beg your pardon, ladies and gentlemen, but my orders are to punch all tickets, and I’m afraid I might destroy this ticket so much that I can’t turn it in at the end of the run.” : Here the young man colored redder than his shirt, and hastily produced his ticket amid shouts of laughter from his friends.— Harper's Round Table. Minnesota's Bad Spell. The painter that prepared the placards showing the places of the different delega- tions was not up in his spelling, as the Minnesota delegation are guided by the sign spelled with an ‘‘0’’ instead of an ‘‘a”’ at the end, it being spelled ‘‘Minnesoto.”’ If that spelling had been carried clear throngh they would have had ‘‘Nevado,’’ ‘Montano’ and Californio,”” and so on, as there are twenty States whose spelling ends with an ‘‘a.”’—St. Louis Globe-Demo- erat. ——The breath of a chronic catarrh pa- tient is 80 often offensive that he becomes an object of disgust.

The brilliant results by its use for years past properly designate Ely’s Cream Balm as by far the best and only cure. ——Mr. Hobart’s chief cause for distinc- tion lies in the fact that he is a corporation lawyer and very wealthy.

It A Nose Industry. Persons With Ili-Formed Features Can Have Them Corrected. A novel industry is rapidly gaining much importance abroad. It is the correcting or manufacturing of noses. Clever physicians have before succeeded in giving a pleasing form to ugly noses by surgical operations. Of late much attention has been given this ‘matter, and artificial noses are now made of gold and aluminium. They are so well colored with enamel paint that itis diffi- cult to detect the substitution. A Paris firm, which deals exclusively in imitation noses, states that the business is large and rapidly growing, and that they have their hands full to fill orders. People ordering imitation noses are compelled to wear eye- glasses, which are to hold the nose in posi- tion, and no one suspects that such an imi- tation nose conceals a facial defect, which would otherwise render the bearer almost repulsive. A perfect nose tinted to match the color of the patient’s face will cost as high as 2500 francs ($500), but is worth every cent of it, since the firm givesa guarantee to keep the nose in order for five years. ——While at school, Johnnie, a boy of 7, asked : “What is the principal pro- ct of the Island of Cuba ? : “I don’t know, miss.”’ ‘What !

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS Deafness, Ringing Noises and Cattarrh Cured by Dr. Salm For along time I noticed that I became grad- ually harder and harder of hearing. Ringing noises/came in the ear after a while, and I be- came very much alarmed. So I went to Dr. Salm and put myself under his care and to-day Iam grateful to state, and for the benefit of those who may suffer in a fike manner, that I can hear once again as good as ever, and those infernal noises have disspposred, although I am nearly 60 years old.

Some years ago I contracted catarrh and it went to my ears. Gradually I became worse and my ears began to trouble me very mnch, my strengt began to give out, and I came weaker and weaker so that I was not able to work. I took treatment from several of our doctors in the county, but somehow they couldn’t do me any good ; so I went to see Dr. Salm. He promised to cure me, and I dare say, he kept his word, for to- day I am again stout and healthy as could be ex- pected of any one of my age, 69 years, and I find that I got value received for my money paid to the doctor. Mes. Jacos B. FINLEY. Brush Valley, Indiana Co., Pa. Thought His Time Had Come but was Cured by Dr. Salm. For some years I have been suffering very much with various ailments and broke down at last. I suffered most excrutiating pain from head to foot all the time. My stomach troubled me a good; deal, liver and kidneys as well were out of order ; in fact, I thought my time had come. The doctors couldn’t do me any good ; patent medicines had no effect ; so I went at last to Dr. Salm, and after a course of treatment, I am now again as hail and hearty and Sirs as ever. . L. CoN¥ER.
