Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 6, 1896. —— FARM NOTES. —Manure should never be used on lawns unless the manure has been heated and well decomposed, fertilizers being better. If unfermented manure is used the lawn will soon be filled with weeds, crab grass, or undesirable grass of some kind which may spring up in the seeds carried in the ma- nure. The use of manure is beneficial or injurious according to the substances which have been added to the heap from time to time, but when the heap has undergone fermentation the seeds therein will have been destroyed. Fertilizers are cleaner than manures on the lawn, are easily ap- plied, and are free from seeds. ‘Well-rotted manure, however, makes an excellent cov- ering on the lawn for winter protection. —Farmers complain that they cannot compete with the creamery in maFing but- ter because the creamery is better supplied with dairy appliances. The farmer, how- ever, can have better milk than the cream- ery, as he secures his supply from a herd of cows of his own breeding or selection, while the creamery must depend on the entire community for its milk. It is the care of the milk at the stable and before sending to the creamery that gives an ad- vantage, and this is controlled by the far- mer when he makes butter which is to be choice. The cow, her breeding, and her food, with cleanliness, are the main factors in making good butter. —No farm should be a poor farm after it has been occupied for five years, unless the soil is of such a character as to make the farm incapable of improvement. When a farmer is not gaining something in his soil he is losing money, no matter how much he sells, as it will be but a few years before the revenue of the farm will cease. With the aid of clover a farm can be made bet- ter every year, and also gotten into first- class condition if fertilizers are used in connection with clover. —The profits in dairying depend, first, on the kind of cow we start with ; next is the matter of feed and attention. If there is any profit at all it is from those cows that are well bred and well fed. If the demand for good ‘butter and cheese continues and other farm products rule at a low figure, we must devote more time to dairy matters. It is no easy job to pick up a herd of good cows at random. The safest plan is to get a few good ones, and then buy a registered bull and breed up. —When the sheep’s feet seem to be ten- der apply a mixture of pure lard or vase- line with one-tenth part acetate of copper well ground with it. This will destroy whatever poison may affect the feet through the effects of impure matter in the land. Decaying matter of any kind, especially if it is wet, will quickly rot the sole of the feet and cause lameness, which if neglected may have serious results. —There is danger toseed corn every year _ when the winter is severely cold, unless »the corn is perfectly dry. The ears select- ed for seed should be placed where they will dry before the winter sets in. A room containing a stove may be used for drying a large quantity, and also to protect against frost on very cold days. It is a severe loss in spring should corn be planted and fail to germinate ; hence it pays to give the seed some attention now. —When little pigs begin to eat they sometimes have scours. To prevent this the food should be cooked until they get beyond the danger stage. . No sow having pigs should be given slop that is sour or filthy. Clean, wholesome food, not too concentrated, jand not too much at a time, is better than feeding a surfeit of any and all kinds, that serve no purpose than to do harm or to be wasted. —1If oats are not ground they may be profitably fed in the straw. The horse will chew oats and straw together more thor- oughly than he will the oat grain alone and the grain may be given in larger quantities than would be safe if eaten by itself. Oat straw is mainly carbonaceous, but it is commonly much less hard than the straw of wheat, rye or barley and is better for feeding to stock. —Judge Wellhouse, the great apple grower of Kansas, sows red clover in his orchards when they come into bearing and rolls this down twice a ‘season with a large roller on which are several kunives of a stock cutter. The clover stand is kept up by yearly reseeding, and the fertility of the land is well cared for, so far as nitro- gen and good physical condition go. —The object in prunifig grapes is to get a well-formed vine and a large yield of the best fruit. Two-thirds of the years’ growth should be cut away. If not severely prun- ed more fruit will be grown than can he matured. We must remember that grapes grow upon the new wood only, and this year’s branches bear next year’s fruit. Let the vines be trimmed in the autumn. —1It is very difficult to keep soils fertile if they contain a large proportion of sand. If they are kept under cultivation this dif- ficulty increases as the sand both blows and washes away when exposed to winds. For this reason many owners of sandy fields keep. them seeded with grass or clover as much as possible, only plowing them when the seeding runs out. : —As long as the trees are left without care in the orchard just so much time will be lost in bringing them into full bearing. Trees cannot be gotten into profit in a year, like an ¢ animal, and the sooner they begin $0 hear the less loss of land, time and capi- tal. —It is claimed that great as is our annu- al wheat crop it does not exceed the pro- duction of poultry and eggs. This is due to the fact that millions of dollars’ worth of poultry and eggs are produced in the suburbs of towns and villages, as well as on the farms. ; —Hundreds of farmers do not know how many tools and implements they have pur- chased since owning their farms, nor have they a place for them. If they will enter these items in a book they will prevent loss and know at all times what they have on hand. —There is no more important work on the fruit farm, or garden than winter pro- tection, and there is no work more gener- ally neglected. Let it be done thorough- ly, after frosts have come, and before win- | ter sets in. —The first lessons on farming to the | young should be in the country schools, | where reading books will interest the chil- | dren and lay the foundation for better knowledge of agriculture. ——7Read the WATCHMAN. BE a Bs - Ministers in Politics. Kind of Money We Have Wil Not be a Pass- port for Heaven. For THE WATCHMAN. : Bellefonte, Oct. 19th, 1896.—On Sabbath morning, the 18th, at 10:30, in the Presby- terian church of Bellefonte, I had the pleas- ure of hearing a most excellent, and learned discourse by the Rev. L. Y. Graham, D. D. of Phila., Pa. from Ephes. 3: 9,10 He presented the most beautiful truths that choice language could construct, in some of them, he carried the redeemed ones in exquisite ways cross the Heavenly waters of the ethereal Jordon, safely landing them, in the eternal home of the New Jeru- salem. His hearers were transported to Elysian fields of delight, almost ready to pass over the triumphal shore, and all were ready to raise the applaudit. His finis, “well done thou good and faithful servant, thou art a faithful ambassador. I was attending the Synod of Pennsylvania for several days in session in Bellefonte. At 7:30 in the evening I again took my seat in the church to hear Rev. R. S. Holmes, D. D., of Pittsburg, Pa. He took his text from Rev, 3: 8, “Behold I have set be- fore thee an open door, and no man can shut it.” From this passage he thought he was divined to instruct his saints on financial and political economy. Who ordained him to this work, God only knows. He had not wan- dered far from the fold, if he had ever been in it, until it was evident that he knew noth- ing about: the remedy for the financial distress of our country, and hence was dishonoring the cause, that he should have faithfully repre- sented. He assumingly thought;that he was giving us the sincere milk of the cocoanut, when he defiantly asserted, that what the people wanted, was ‘‘not more dollars, but more opportunities; ‘‘that the hand,” was made for “work,” aud that it needed “more of it)’ From the appearance of his own hands, I do not think that it would be hard for him to count the callous places upon them, a glove would fit his hand better than an im- plement. ously, that God had given us them for that purpose, that our abilities should be exercised in art, in science and mathematics to their fullest extent. Does he think that this can be done without money and time? Should he not know that it takes years of profound study and a large amount of money, to successfully accomplish anything worthy of notice in these matters ; that but few suc- ceed out of the many that strive. Men of the highest order of genius have spent their whole life in investigation, and arduous la- bor, and died in poverty. Others have ac- complished great results, and given pro bono tendencies for a mere song, could not help themselves financially. A very large class of men, are found mn these circumstances, and because they cannot help themselves. They are to be called fail- ures. Another class, called farmers, mechan- ics, and laboring men, are over-burdened with tax and interest upon their little homes. The old man, wife and children are almost naked and without food, trying to save every cent to pay the last installment upon their long and hard earned home ; and just as tax- es raise higher and the price of their farm products or wages are lower, a successful busi- ness man (called these days) who made his money, in sharp dealing in stocks and trusts, comes around and has it legally sold for the little bit of back interest, etc., and thus it goes. The poor family is left out in the world homeless and comfortless, without a sympa- thizing tear or friend. See a man who has been living in high life and never has earned an ‘‘honest dollar,” embezzle or steal a hun- dred thousand or two, from the widows and orphans, out of some savings bank, or other institution of deposit, and behold the wail of the land going up for Rachael and her weep- ing children, and how freely purses and par- dons are granted. The shepherd who undertook to teach us is a bad door keeper, and what a glorious thing it is for man, that Christ is the door keeper, and has said that ‘no man can shut it” or how many would be shut out, as ‘‘street loungers’ “corner loafers” or ‘“‘failures,’”’ be- cause they have been robbed of their birth- right. And oh, how many might have passed through, because of their successful business adventures and ability to reap where they had not sown. What would St. Paul, Timothy and the rest of the Apostles think of this modern re- former, preparing the saints for a Heavenly rest, through the door of the monetary sys- tem of the United States. ‘‘O tempora?

BY GENERAL HORACE PORTER, is the title of a series of articles which has been in preparation for many years. General Porter was an aide on General Grant’s staff and a close friend of his chief, and the diary which he kept through the war is the basis of the present articles which are striking Derpictures of campaign life and scenes. They will be fully illustrated. The first one is in the November Century.
