FARM NOTES. —By the law at present in force in Penn- sylvania a farmer who has four-inch tires upon his draught wagons hauling over 2000 pounds is allowed a rebate of one- fourth of his road tax. —Professor Goff, of Wisconsin, got twen- ty times as many strawberries tfom a plot irrigated in fall and spring as from another plot of same size and varieties irrigated in the spring only. —Every time a tree has too much fruit it weakens its vitality to such an extent - as to require two or three years to recover, or so checks its growth that it begins tode- cline, and is permanently injured. —A whole livery barn full of. horses in Michigan died from eating hay cutin an orchard that had been sprayed with a po- isonous solution. The owner of the orchard also lost four horses from being fed on the same hay. The Breeders Gazette is au- thority for the statement. —Barnyard manure increases the wood growth of nearly all fruit trees, while potash tends to increase the fruit growth. The former cannot be allowed to suffer at " the expense of the vitality of the tree. Without a new yearly wood growth the prospect of fruit would be greatly reduced. —After hollyhocks flower once they are easy victims to severe cold alternated with thaws, and they are not to be relied upon the second year. The sowing for the fol- lowing year’s display should be made in the latter part of July. The same treat- ment applies in Canterbury bells and pan- sies. —Young cattle like sweet corn, green fodder and oats, barley and otlier kinds of green fodder just as well as the milch cows do. When you are planting soiling crops for the cows to fall back on when the pas- ture begin to fall don’t forget to put in enough to give the calves and colts a bite, too. —Do not omit crimson clover. The con- ditions so far seem very favorable to it, and it will enable those who grow it to produce their nitrogen on the farm, thus saving the expense in the spring of the most expensive ingredient that enters into the composition of fertilizers, and every dollar of expense saved is so much addition to the profits. —Skimmed milk contains all the ele- ments of full milk but the fat, and that can be made up in a measure with cheaper sub- stances. The best of these probably is flax- seed, which should be hoiled until reduced to a jelly and a small quantity stirred into the milk at each feed ; oil meal is cheaper, more easily obtained, and does nearly as well. —There is a nice point in the cutting down of corn. If cut before the leaves be- gin to turn the fodder will be in better condition. Examination should he made daily, and if the grain is well filled out the fodder will be just right. When cut at the proper time it will he more readily eaten. No corn should be left in the field until the leaves turn yellow. —Straw is something that seems to be indispensable on every farm, as it not only serves for bedding, but is often used to help out when hay is short. Even if the price of wheat is below a paying basis many farmers would grow it because they would have the straw left over from ex- penses. It is worth being carefully stack- ed and kept bright and clean. —Plenty of clover will go a long way to- ward making a farm profitable. Think how many ways it can be utilized—for pasture, for hay, for feeding the stock or feeding the land, somestimes serving the double purpose of feeding the stock and then going back to the soil in the manur- ing product. Fear not raising too much ; it will always find a market. —It any case of tuberculosis has occur- red the barn should be thoroughly cleansed and all dirt removed, after which it should be submitted to a thorough disinfection. If necessary all the woodwork should be scraped so that the disinfectant used may be able to penetrate the wood. The person doing the scraping should protect his mouth and nose to prevent the inhalation of germs. —Farmers should be thoroughly organ- ized in every community, and each indi- vidual should take an active interest. In no other manner can they resist insect at- tacks. It is almost useless for one or two farmers in a community attempting to pre- vent the ravages of the army worm, cuculio, chinch bug and other foes on their own farms as long as their neighbors are not in- terested in the work also. —Cheap machinary on the farm is not the kind to use. The strongest competi- tor the farmer has is his neighbor who uses pure bred stock and the latest improved machinary. A few cents difference per bushel in the cost of production is the turning point between profit and loss, and the farmer who is well fortified with all the labor-saving appliances can afford to accept prices which his neighbor would suffer a loss. ? —It is not advisable to cultivate corn when there is a liability of injuring the roots ; but if weeds are thick in the corn they should be removed. A horse hoe, ar- ranged to cut just below the surface, can sometimes be used, but much depends upon the weather. If rains are plentiful the roots will he more easily renewed than dur- ing dry weather, and if no cultivation is given the field should be cleared of weeds as soon as the crop is made. —The Farm Journal says : Give the work horses a night pasture near the sta- ble. After the day’s work they should receive the same care in the stable as if they were to remain there—and after being cooled, fed and cleaned turn them in the pasture or large paddock where they can get a generous bite of glass, and roll and rest. They should receive the same amount of feed in the stable. It is cruel to expect them to work all day and pick around all night to satisfy their hungry. —The Seckel is the sweetest of all pears, but the tree is not an early bearer. Clapp’s favorite is the largest early pear. Seldom is not over-handsome, but there is no bet- ter late autumn pear. Belle Lucrative bears good crops regularly. = It is juicy and sweet, and of fair quality even before ripe. Anjou is a splendid winter pear, but the fruit is liable to blow off during storms be- foré itis ripe. For canning purposes Bart- lett leads. Keiffer is excellent for can- ning. As dwarfs (on quince) the follow- ing sorts thrive well: Duchess,” Louise Bonne, Anjou, Brandywine, Bell, Lucra- tive, Superfine, Seckel, Tyson, Clapp’s Favorite, Lawrence ' and Josephine de Malines. Through Wonderland. Personally Conducted Tours to to Yellowstone Park uia Pennsylvania Railroad. The Yellowstone park is one of the most wonderfully attractive regions of the world. Its beauties of scenery, the wild grandeur of its mountains and canons, compel the the admiration of every visitor, while its phenomenal geysers and curious mineral- ogical formations make it a rich field for the investigation of the scientist. Univer- sal interest attaches to it, and in order that the natural desire to visit it may be accom- plished in the most satisfactory manner the Pennsylvania railroad company has ar- ranged for a tour covering a period of six- teen days, leaving New York and Philadel- phia, Thursday, August 27. As the tour will be run under the per- sonally-conducted tourist system inaugurat- ed by the above-named company, it is hardly necessary to give the assurance that it will be arranged in the most complete’ manner. It might be well to state, how- ever, that no other means of seeing the park thoroughly is comparable to that af- forded by a well-ordered personally-con- ducted tour. A special train, consisting of a dining, Pullman vestibule, drawing-room, sleeping compartment, and observation cars, which will be the best that can be secured, will be provided, in which passengers will live en route, and whenever the journey. is broken the choicest rooms in the leading hotels will be reserved for the use of the tourists, for which regular rates are paid, so that the guests, although members of a party, enjoy all the privileges of indi- viduals who may have made their own se- lections. The party will be conducted throughout by a tourist agent especially selected for his ability and a chaperon to look after the comfort of lady passengers. The rate, covering every necessary ex- pense, will be $210 from Boston, and $200 from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Harrisburg ; proportion- ate rates from other points. . Detailed itinerary will be sent out on ap- plication to tourist agent, 205 Washington street, Boston; 1196 Broadway, New York ; 850 Fulton street, Brooklyn, or room 411, Broad street station, Philadelphia. Reed’ Admissions. Times Have Changed Within Two Months, When Re- publican Success Seemed Sure. ALFRED, Me., July 29th.—This quaint country seat was the scene to-day of the opening of the Republican national cam- paign of 1896. People from all the coun- try rundabout came to town to listen to a speechi:by the Hon. Thomas B. Reed on the occasion of his renomination for representa- tive in Congress by the First district Re- publican convention. There were present many people from nearby sections of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, giving the occasion some- thing of the character of an inter-State demonstration. After the nomination a mass meeting was held in the publicsquare. Mr. Reed spoke in part as follows : ‘“T'wo months ago no man of any stand- ing would have risked his reputation as a prophet by hinting the slightest doubt of Republican success. Two months have ‘slipped away, and there are those who tell us that all things have changed, and new men are to lead us to happiness, and even repair all the damage that has been wrought. Now this may be so. Two months ago, as I have already said, everybody conceded the election of the Republican ticket. What has happened since then? Is our condition better ? Rather worse. We are all in a bad way, and something must be done. Let us see what is proposed by those gentlemen who within the last two months have discovered a new cure. Their remedy is the coinage of silver, 16 to 1. What does that mean? Heretofore whenever gold and silver have stood together it has been at the market value. When we tried to make gold and silver circulate together we have always married them according to their market value. To-day we find them not 16 to 1, but 31 to 1.” Mr. Reed devoted the balance of his re- marks to the gold bug’s stock argument, but not once did he touch on tariff, which McKinley is seeking to make the issue. The Coal Miners Paid This Tariff. From the DuBoizx Express. During the eleven months ending with May, 718,818 tons of soft coal were brought from British North America to this country and 2,713,000 tons of United States‘ soft coal were taken to British North America. This country puts a tariff of 40 cents a ton on soft coal while British North America puts a tariff of 60 cents a ton on it. Mr. Kinley and his brother protectionists claim that ‘‘the foreigner pays the tax’’ if this is the case the coal men of the United States paid the Canadian government $1,627,800 for the privilege of doing business in Brit- ish North American markets during the eleven months ending with May, while the British North American coal dealers paid the United States government $287,277.20 to send coal to this country. Where does the ‘‘protection’’ of the United States min- er or operator come in? Can any protec- tionist tell ? ° Robert Garrett Dead. The Unfortunate Ex-President of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Expires. BALTIMORE, July 29.—Robert Garrett, formerly president of the Baltimore & Ohio railway, died at his cottage, in Deer Park, Md., soon after 3 o’clock this morning. Although Mr. Garrett, has been a hopeless invalid for many years, his physical infirm- ities were not such as to cause any immedi- ate uneasiness upon the part of his friends, About two weeks ago he, however, began to fail, and it was thought best to remove him from Uplands, his country home near Baltimore, to Deer Park, in the hope that the change of air and scenery would benefit him. he i a 4 poy 5 his physician hoped for and within the past week the patient has suffered much from mental depression and melancholia. THAT TIRED FEELING.—Is a common complaint and it is a dangerous symptom. It means that the system is debilitated be- cause of impure blood, and in this condi- tion it is especially liable to attacks of dis- ease. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the remedy for this condition, and also for that weak- ness which prevails at the change of season, climate or life. Hood’s Pills act easily, yet promptly and efficiently on the bowels and liver. 25c¢. ——An exchange got into serious trou- ble recently by omitting two capital letters from the following interesting item : ‘‘John Lewis, a popular young man of the commu- nity, and Miss Ida Jones, a long hollow school teacher, were married last week.’ Reduced Rates to the Seashore. Extremely low rate Excursions via Pennsylvania Railroad. Every one, old and young, needs rest and recreation at some time during the heat- ed summer term, and where cau it be ob- tained better than at the seashore. No other place can compare with South- ern New Jersey in seaside resorts, either in point of number or of excellence. At- lantic Cityyis the most popular resort in America, and Cape May, Isle City, Ocean City, Avalon, Angleasa, Wildwood, and Holly Beech do not fall far short of Atlan- tic City’s high standard. The Pennsylvania railroad company, whose constant object is to give its patrons the cheapest rate compatible with good ser- vice, has arranged for an excursion to the seashore Thursday, Aug 20th, from Belle- fonte and intermediate points. Excursion tickets good for 10 days will be sold at the following low rates for the round trip, and intermediate points at a corresponding reduction, good going to Philadelphia on trains designated : : Rate to Rate to Atlantic all Train Train City via points Delaware via L'ves L'ves River Market ¢ Bridge.
