Bellefonte, Pa., Jan. 15, 1897. FARM NOTES. —The number of sheep in the United | States in 1895, according to the Govern- | ment report, was 42,294,064, the average | value per sheep being $1.58, making a total | $66,685,767. In 1896 (on January 1) the total number of sheep was 3%,208,7R3, showing a loss in the number of sheep of 3,995,281, or about 4,000,000 in round numbers. The average value of sheep, however, had increased from $1.58 to $1.70, making a total value of $65,167,735, or a decease in value of only $1,518,032, al- though the number of sheep had been re- duced 4,000,000. That is the point to which attention is directed—the increased value—which is strong evidence of a great improvement being effected in the breeds and quality of the sheep in this country. YALUE OF SHEEP AND WOOL. The number of families on farms, ac- cording to the census of 1890, was 4,564, - 641, and may be set down as 5,000,000 at present. With the estimate that the num- ber of farms equals the number of families it leaves less than eight sheep on every farm, and as sheep have been kept almost wholly for wool it will be seen that the amount of weol produced on each farm is very small, the total number of pounds for 1890 being 276,000,000, which had in- ereased to 303,000,000 in 1893. Estimating 300,000,000 pounds for 1896 (as it is claim- ed that there has been no increase since that year) the average production of wool on each farm is 60 pounds. The prices Tange from 15 cents for low grade to 22 cents for choice per pound. Allowing 20 eents per pound for all wool, the value of the wool on each farm is $12. Price is ad-/ mitted to have been reduced by virtue of circumstances, then the high prices of former years may be accepted and the value be placed at $24 per farm, allowing all the advantages that may be claimed in favor of wool. This is a small sum to be derived on wool on each farm, and the low price of sheep at the same time should con- vince farmers that-they have made a great sacrifice in giving so much of their atten- tion to the production of wool to the ex- clusion of mutton and lamb. MAKING SHEEP PAY. A well-bred sheep should weigh at least 150 pounds when ready forgmarket. They can be made to reach 300 pounds, These weights are for live animals. The prices of common sheep range from 2 to 3 cents per pound, with from 4 to 6 cents per pound for choice. As the average price to 1896 was $1.70 it is plain that the value of the sheep in this country can be easily doubled, thus adding $65,000,000 by simply raising mutton sheep. The wool from the mutton breeds is not as fine as that from the Merinos, but it is heavier and more val- unable than that from scrubs, hence the use of the mutton breeds, while increasing the value of sheep, also increases the produc- tion of wool at the same time. It is ad- mitted that farmers are receiving very low prices for wool, but such prices have at- tracted their attention to better sheep, greatly benefiting them in that respect, as it will be but a few years before they will be more interested in mutton and lamb than in wool. If the sheep and wool (usually of inferior quality) produced on the large ranches be deducted from the totals, the actual number of sheep raised | and wool produced on the farms is really only one-half of the estimates here given, thus opening a wide field for farmers with improved sheep. —The Farm News has more than once urged its sensible readers to increase the income on the farm by raising ducks. These waddling bipeds are much too valuable to be left out of the poultry yards. Try a setting or two of duck eggs next spring and see if you don’t find that they pay. An item in duck raising that I find a great many people do not take into account is the value of the feathers. White duck feathers are almost as valuable as goose feathers. Mr. Rankin, the largest duck | raiser in this country, is quoted as saying that he counts on his duck feathers to pay all the expenses of picking, preparing and shipping ducks to market—a not incon- siderable expense. —DPlants breathe, as persons do, and they must have fresh air in liberal quantities if you would have them flourish. Open some door or window at some distance from the window where your plants stand, and let the cool, pure air from out of doors come in and mix with the warm air of the room. —Those in need of a cheap, pretty, al- most evergreen hedge, should set out the California privet. It roots readily from cuttings which makes it cheap, it keeps its shining green leaves all winter in sheltered places, and it bears cutting in to bring it into hedge shape without any objections at all. It is just the thing that is wanted for screening purposes about many a farm- er’s house. —The horse troughs and stables are not proper places for hens to lay. If hens are to he profitable they should have warm quarters and clean nests. They sometimes seek the stables because the poultry house is filthy and the nests unclean. Fowls should have quarters separate from other stock, and be made comfortable. —Feeding hay to hogs is the best and most economical way of keeping them in the winter that can be adopted. It may surprise some farmers to b颔 informed that hogs may be kept on hay. Cut up some clover hay very fine, pour boiling water | over it in a barrel, cover the barrel and allow it to remain until morning, then mix it with bran and cornmeal, feeding it warm. There will not be much of it left over in the trough. —The liking for celery is always an ac- | quired taste. It is within the memory of | most middle-aged people when it was very | rarely put upon the table, and even then | eaten by comparatively few. It is proba- bly the value of celery as anervine that has stimulated much of the increased use of it. The crisp pieces of celery do not differ from other vegetables in being hard to digest, but unless digestion is very bad that also may need such stimulus as a hard job like thismay prove. Most people find that they can better digest a very hearty meal when they have eaten celery with it. —An experienced farmer states that a hog will starve to death in four months on corn, provided no other food is given, as the corn is deficient in nitrogen and mineral matter. It is impossible to keep hogs in good health when they are fed nothing but corn. He states that only a slight change of diet will prove beneficial. A mess of scalded bran with a small pro- portion of linseed meal, and cooked turn- nips allowed, once a day, will double the value of the corn and balance the ration. | Davy the Peddler. There are few people in Centre county | who have not seen Davy Kochler, litinerent peddler at one time or another. | mizing it. | He has walked over this county for years | that sort of thing are ready to frighten us selling combs, thread, soaps and other : with statistics which point out the terrible small trinkets that he could carry about | waste of this valuable commodity with in the large pack that has always seemed doing its best toward doubling him clear up. y While in Williamsport, the other day, a gentleman who had known him twenty-five years before met him and wrote quite an interesting tale about him for the Gazette and Bulletin. The following are excerpts from the article : ‘Yesterday a man mingled with the throng upon the streets of this city who doubtless has walked more miles than any other person living in the United States. If his “history could be procured, the minor events of his life written out and published, giving in full details of his roving career, a volume per- haps, more strange and startling than much of the fictitious matter with which the coun- try is flooded would resound in thunderous tones to the author's glory. Twenty five years ago the writer knew “Davy Kochler” in Clearfield, where he appeared at intervals selling trinkets of all kinds from a large basket which he carried from door to door. Having thoroughly can- rassed that town. he would journey to the next, calling at every house he passed, with the view of making a sale. He was constant- ly on the go, and being as proof against storm as a duck is against water, it makes no dif- ference to ‘“‘Davy’’ whether the sun was shining in all its splendor or the rain de- scending in torrents. Disdaining, as though unworthy of his standing and character, he never utilized any conveyance save those provided by nature. In that manner he went from place to place until he not only become a familiar object to a vast number of the people residing throughout this broad Commonwealth, but has walked as many miles as would girdle this continent several times over. “Davy” is strictly temperate, a cause he never fails to espouse. He is afflicted with a very bad impedient in his speech which makes it very difficult for the one whom he addresses to understand what he | is saying. None know these misfortunes or feel them more keenly then “Davy” him- | self. He is very sensitive of his peculiarities, but at the same time he has great regard for | the feeling of others knowing from long ex- perience that his appearance before one of the weaker sex, when she opens her door in responge to his raps, never fails to startle her, his st words are, ‘Lady don’t be scared. ‘IT intend you no harm.” Then in his gentle, childlike but broken voice, he will offer her his wares. Time is dealing gently with him. He looks no older than he did a quarter of a cen- | tury ago, and he is still plying the same oc- cupation, although the big basket has been discarded for a smaller one. He is a staunch Methodist and his ionappearance at any of the meetings of the Central Pennsylvania conference would seem strange.” While the above does part justice to this | noble, though sadly deformed character, it | does not begin to describe the more re- markable incidents of his life. while crip- pled to such an extent that any ordinary person similarly afilicted would have be- come a public charge he has not only been self supporting, but has assisted other members of his family and has managed to accumulate a little property, notwith stand- | ing the devilish attempts of some to cheat him. A better or more devout man never lived than he. During the many years we have known him there has yet to come the first time that we have not found him spending every leisure moment pouring over a little testament he always carries with him. He is of a spirited temperament and un- less you know his almost divine goodness vou will not realize what a bitter sting | came to him, several vears ago, through a charge of dishonesty. Davy was walking over the mountains {in Clearfield county when he picked up a well filled wallet that was lying by the | It contained more than a thous- | roadside. and dollars in hank notes and securities and as there was nothing about it to desig- nate the owner he brought it to Bellefonte to know what he should do with it. It was our advice that he would save himself trouble and get the owner quicker by wait- ing to watch for it as being advertised than toadvertise himself. In a few days the advertisement appeared and Davy municated with the owner, who came on to claim his property. - He got it without | trouble, but what a miserable ingrate he proved himself to be. With not even a “thank you’ for the return of the wallet he | had the meanness to charge poor Davy with having kept some of the contents. Any one who knows Davy Kochler will believe | it when we say that one of the arch angels | might as easily be convicted of doing any- thing wrong as he and it was this simple, pure heart that bled as if it would break | when it was charged with stealing. To apply a very homely expression any- one who greases him for a fool is likely to | lose his lard. While he is not what you would call bright he has a way of reason- | ing things out that invariably puzzles those who are laboring under the impression that his mind is as erippled as his body. He is astute in politics and when the Williams- port writer was telling of his being next to a necessity at a Methodist meeting he might have stated, also, that no one ever | heard of a Democratic gathering within ten | miles of where he was located at the time that Davy had not attended. Talk about an Andy Jackson backbone ! His might have heen straighter and stiffer, from a physiolog- | ical stand-point, but never from a Demo- cratic. During the time that the State Dept., G. A. R., encamped here away back in | 1884 there was a phrenologist following the Philadelphia ‘‘Lambs.”” He had heen feeling a good many heads out on the old fair ground, when some one took Davy forward. With a great flourish and show of knowledge he began feeling for humps, all the - while explaining that the subject was a very good specimen of the idiot’s head, with no capacity for brain action of any sort. Well Davy sat as quiet asa clam for a little while then he opened up on the fake phrenologist and such a tearing up no man has received in these parts for some time. The fellow was so abashed that he fled from the platform and never returned to do business there any more. It is his ambition to save enough to fi- | nally secure a refuge for himself in some | Methodist home for the aged. An Observant Youth. ‘‘Now, Bobbie,”’ said the teacher, ‘‘spell pipe.” : “P-I-P-L,”’ said Bobbie. “That’s right. ‘And now tell me some- thing about pipes. What do people do with them ?”’ the : value of time and the importance of econo- com- | Wasting Time. i Now is the season for lectures on the Those who make a specialty of | which the most of usare chargeable. They | are able to show how a minute, here and | there snipped off from eternity, amounts | to a great deal in the course of years and we are astonished at the result and won- der that we had never thought of this { waste before and taken measure to reduce it to the minimum. When our minds are i started on this train we find that we lose | fully one-third of our life in sleep ; we are | able to calculate that the time spent in lacing our shoes if spent in carrying bricks at $2 a day, would, in the course of the ordinary duration of a man’s vigor, bring in enough money to pay the funeral ex- | penses of the wearer of the shoes. It can be figured out that in extra buttons on the coat consumes at lest enough time to de- fray the cost of a wedding suit for at least one marriage, and that if a man never blew his nose, he might accumulate enough in the time thus consumed to keep himself in hosiery and suspenders for life. This is likely to produce an impression that he is a failure upon the man who always finds his stockings so full of holes that he would be ashamed to let Santa Claus see them, and whose only pair of suspenders are in a continual state of collapse and only ren- dered serviceable by the aid of a section of twine. But, when it comes to such wholesale wastes as lying in bed and thinking about getting up, talking about the weather, telling dog stories or sitting with your feet higher than your head, thinking what a good time you would be having if you were rich, instead of studying how to make improved windmills out of old newspapers | or attempting to cipher down the cost of converting the heathen, then the figuring comes in strong, and it is shown to you, { conclusively and without a doubt, that if { you would be busy all the time you are | idle you would be able to loaf complacent- | Iy during all the time that you now work. | The conclusion to be drawn from it all is | that you should watch every second of the | clock as a miser watches his pennies, you should have brain and hands going all the | time and should, every minute of your | life, emulate the example of the man who | t’s and dot his 1's to write, a history of the huckleberry in 16 volumes, which no- [ body reads. | Most of us do waste time and some of us | waste it frightfully, but to those of us who | work there is some comfort in the reflec- | tion that time is not altogether for work { and that in season we are entitled to ‘‘loaf | and invite our souls,” as Walt Whitman puts it. There is some comfort, too, in the well known fact that many of those who | are constantly on the grind do not get along nearly as well as many others who | appear to enjoy plenty of leisure. #3 The man who is jealous of the time it takes to tie a shoestring or of the delay of the extra button on his coats is not usually successful or happy. He is usually one of those men whose time is largely taken up in making what are knewn as false mo- ‘tions and his execution is trifling com- | pared with the apparent effort expended. He is in most cases a greater profligate in the matter of time than those who dis- creetly loaf. The way to save time is to employ a reasonable portion of it to ad- vantage, to make every motion and every | stroke count, while you are at work, to be prepared for your work and to avoid use- less tasks. Let a manor a woman find out as nearly as possible what they cza do, let them carefully lay out in advance what they think their powers are capable of, . | being very careful not to overrate their own capacity, and then let them pursue | that line, not wasting time on a multitude ; of things that cannot be pursued to a con- | | clusion, that will only be a hindrance to their main pursuit and will embarrass them. ! A few men may become Jacks of all ; trades and masters of many and a few may | be able to grasp almost universal knowl- | + edge, but the many of us can only hope to | be reasonably skillful in one line, and a | reasonable diligence will make us proficient in that. The greatests possible waste of | time is in commencing things which we do not finish and which we could not possibly finish, in trying to get a little of every- { thing with the result that we get nothing in the end. The time of childhood is woe- + fully wasted in the schools in the to carry them a little distance in a lot of | studies, that they will never be able to : pursue afterward, to the neglect of thor- oughness in particular branches, which they might master up to a certain point in | the time at their disposal. True economy of time consists in learning to do one thing well and then doing it with all of your might, but at the same time putting no strain on ‘your bodily or mental powers. | If you do that you will be doing well and | you can loaf and take your ease, without self reproach, and will not be disquieted | by the uncomfortable statisticians who are able to build such prodigious structures ! out of odd minutes.

I can eat finely, feel a good deal stronger, and I know I will soon be myself again. Mr. Henry Keithan. Sunbury, Northumberland Co., Pa., Sep. 9th, 1896.
