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 |

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.

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.

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
Hard of Hearing for 35 Years, Caused by Ca-
tarrh, and cured by Dr. Salm.
tev. J. D. Leister, Swales, Pa.
Replying to your
inquiry, as to testimonial with my signature,
ublished by Dr. Salm, will say, that I was under
iis treatment for 10 months for my hearing. Jt
was eatarrh of the middle ear, and’ like yourseif,
could hear better some days than others, could
hear better in noise. My hearing was very much
improved by the treatment, and have no” doubt,
but that he can help you. Dr. Salm appears to be
an honest man, and he will tell you the truth,
whether he can help you or not. If I were you, I
would certainly consult him. I was longer afflict-
ed than you. My hearing was bad in one ear for
about 35 years, and in the other for about 24 or 25
years. Hoping that your hearing will be entirely
restored. [remain.

Case of Catarrh Cured by Dr. Salm.
Rev. J. D. Leister, Swales, Pa.
Yours came: to
hand to-day. Dr. Salm treated my 13 year old hoy
for catarrh in the head, and cured him in 6
months. I don’t know whether he can cure you
or not, but on examination he will tell you ‘the
truth, I know a man here, that he examined,
and he told him that he could not be cured. I
know other people, that he has done a great deal
of good in’ other cases,

After the Country Doctors Had Given Iim Up
as Incurable, Dr. Salm Cured Hin.
I must truly say that Dr. Salm has treated me
well and I have improved wonderfully under his
skillful treatment, even after our country doctors
all gave me up as incurable.

Dr. Salm Snatched Her From Her Grave.
Mr. Secretary :—
You asked me why 1 did not come
back last month. The medicine Dr. Salm gave
me helped me so much, that I thought it was not
necessary to return at present, but however, if I
need any further treatment he is my physician.
He cured me: of scrofula, about one year ago,
snatched me, you might say, from the grave.
This is saying a good deal, but it is true.

Nobody Has Done More for My Health Than
Dr. Salm.
I have only taken a half month's treatment and
in that time, 1 dare say, no one could have done
more for my health than Dr. Salm, as I feel a
great deal better. William H. Knepp.

Catarrh and Bronchitis Cured by Dr. Salm.
For some years I have been in bad health. Suf-
fered very much from ecatarrh and brouchitis,
lost flesh continually, coughed a great deal and
there didn’t seem to be a spot about me that
didn’t ache. So I went to Dr. Salm, who comes
here every four weeks, for treatment. [am so
much pleased with the improvement that I want
everyone to know it. I can eat finely, feel a good
deal stronger, and I know I will soon be myself
again. Mr. Henry Keithan.
