Bellefonte, Pa., March 5, 1897. FARM NOTES. —A bran mash, composed of bran and linseed meal, scalded, should be given oc- casionally to cows and horses that have been fed principally on hay and fodder in order to regulate the bowels. —If you pasture the young orchard, first put such a guard about the trees that the stock can reach neither trunk nor branch. Even if not killed, many a young tree is thus deformed forever. —A good shovelful of ashes should be scattered around cach currant hill, and a handful thrown in the crown, says Ameri- can Gardening ; they serve two purposes— fertilizer and a preventive of insects and disease. —The mole is a nuisance when it turns up the lawn or goes down a Tow of some favorite crop, but it is claimed that the mole is a friend to the farmer, living upon worms and grubs, the benefit he imparts being greater than the damage inflicted. —1If for any reason you should fail to have as much clover as you need for the hogs next season you can supplement it to good advantage with a field of peas for their use. Bear this in mind and leave a little land vacant for the purpose next year. —The claim that too much manure will burn up the crop depends upon the amount of moistureand how the manure is applied. If the manure is well worked into the soil there will be no liability of injury from a heavy application. The difficulty really is that the manure is spread over too great a surface, not enough being made. —To find the number of trees or plants to the acre, multiply the distance in feet between the rows-by “the distance trees are apart. in rows; the product will be the number of square feet for each tree, which, divided into the number of square feet in an acre (43.560) will give the number of trees to the acre. If you havea ficld of crimson clover plow it under for corn and you will need no ni- trogenous fertilizers but potash and phos- phoric acid must be used. As they are cheap the cost of fertilizers for corn, where the crimson clover has been turned under, will be but a small sum compared with the value of a complete fertilizer on the mar- ket. : — Save the egg shells and use them for starting early plants in the house. Fill: them with rich earth, plant a few seeds, and allow one plant to grow. When the plant is of sufficient size set the shell and plant in the ground out of doors, after dan- wer of frost is over. Melons are frequently started in that manner, as they will not bear transplanting without risk of loss. — Every barn should have a cistern or re- ceptacle for liquids from the stable that cannot he absorbed, it is better to absorb the liquids and add them to the manure heap if it ean be done. The cistern should be so located as to permit of pumping the liquids on the =old accumulations of the heap. In this manner all the valuable properties of the manure will be retained. The liguids are worth more than the solids, although they are frequently permitted to | £0 to waste. — All stable manures will be improved if potash in some form is added, especially of potash salts. Kainit has been found useful for this purpose. It is crude sulphate of potash, and contains a large proportion of | It will arrest the escape of ammonia | and prove valuable of itself when applied | salt. on the land. It is also excellent on land infested with grubs, though not a complete remedy for such pests. It is cheap and should be used more extensively where manure is being gaved. —1If it is proper to destroy an animal in order to prevent the spread of disease it is equally important that a diseased tree be cut down and burnt. When blight attacks a pear tree it is a risk to attempt to save it, as the disease will soon appear on other trees if there is a delay in stamping out the difliculty. By prompt action in sacrificing a tree years of work may be avoided and an orchard saved from destruction. The “yellows” in peaches should receive atten tion promptly, cutting down the tree on the first signs of disease. —The rough staring coat of calves and colts their first winter is always due to troubles of digestion from changing sudden- ly from succulent to dry feed. But a part is also due to drinking too little water, be- cause the water in winter is always cold. If water for young animals were warmed to a temperature near that of animal heat they would drink more freely, and their food will digest, instead of remaining in the stomach breeding fevers and discase. Do away with constipation in young stock, and most of the difficulty in keeping them thrifty will be overcome. —It is some years sinee. we have seen an apple of that good, old fashioned variety, the Spitzenberg. It is not strange that it, is not common in the market, for if the farmer has one or two trees of it they prob- ably bear no more than he needs for home use. It is a spicy, high flavored apple, but a very shy bearer. The tree is not a strong grower, and on old soil is very apt to fugous diseases of the leaves. It will bear manuring more heavily than other kinds of apple trees, and is especially bene- fitted by liberal applications of potash fer- tilizers.— American Cultivator. —The borers will begin to attack peach trees in May and the apple trees in June. One remedy is to apply coal tar around the trunk of each tree, digging away the earth six or eight inches, and after the ap- plication returning the earth to the tree, extending the tar a foot or more above the level of the ground. This should be done as soon as the condition of the ground per- mits, repeating the application soas to cov- er every portion of the tree. kerosene on peach trees. If preferred the trees may be wrapped with tarred paper, which will be held in position by the earth or may be fastened with a string. —In feeding all young animals thrifty growth is far more important than to fatten them. Many people suppose that the only way to lessen fatis to restrict diet until near starvation point. fat-forming nutrition, restricting its amount makes what is given so much better di- gested that the fattening process goes on as before. A far surer and better way to ac- complish what is wished is to give more food plentifully, but not of the kind that builds up fat, and especially to give what makes bone OTE ol We called in a physician and he said the | 1f it fails to cure money refunded. 25cts. ——Subseribe for the WATCMAN.

Pope Leo's Anniversary. On Tuesday last, March 2nd, ope Leo XIIT celebrated the eighty-seventh an- | Vincenzo Gioac- niversary of his birth. chino Pecci was born in 1810, at Carpineto, in the diocese of Adagni, in the State of the Church. Anne Prosperi, his mother, was (it is interesting to note) a descendent of the celebrated Cola di Rienzi, ‘‘the last of the Roman tribunes.”’ Young Pecci was received into the priesthood on the 23rd of December, 1837, nearly sixty years ago. He rose to be Bishop in Perugia, where he remained for two and thirty years, and became Cardinal. In 1877 he was nomin- ated by Pope Pius, he was called upon to act as head of the Church for temporal and momentary purposes, and he superintended | the arrangements for the conclave which ended in his elevation to the Papal throne, in April 1878. Pope Leo X1II has thus reigned as the Supreme Pontiff for a period of nearly | nineteen years. Heis one of the oldest Popes to sit in the chair of Saint Peter ; and he has been one of the best. He was born and bred in the keen air of the Vol- scian Hills, a Southern Italian, but of the mountains. As F. Marion Crawford has said : *‘He he still about him something of | the hill people. He has the long, lean, straight, broad-shouldered frame of the true mountaineer, the marvelously bright | the eagle features, the well-knit eye, growth of strength traceable even in old age.”’ And all the civilized world, Roman Catholic or otherwise, send happy greetings to this venerable ecclesiast, who is one of the saintliest Pontiff’s that ever filled he Holy Chair.—Record.

Se What Came of Breaking Through the Ice in a Wisconsin River in February. Five years ago last winter, there was con- siderable commotion on the banks of the White River, Wisconsin, as a young man named E. N. Halleck, had broken through the ice, and was for some moments lost to view. It was not long, however, before Mr. Halleck came in sight again, and by artistic means was fished from the fluid and restored to society. If the ducking had been all, it would have been well, but un- fortunately, the young gentleman contract- ed a heavy cold, resulting in chronic rheu- matism, complicated with disease of kid- ney and urinary organs. ‘For six months,”’ writes Mr. Halleck, “I was laid up, and not able to do* any- thing. During this time I suffered with pains in the stomach and small of the back, and headache, urination was frequent and painful, my heart’s action was increased, and I had aches all over my body, and was generally used up. Then I was able to go out, but was a confirmed invalid, and for nearly four years I was in that condition, and expected then that I should always be disabled for nothing that I took gave me any relief. ‘In December, 1895, I read an advertise- ment about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and on speaking of it to Mrs. A. E. Derby, she strongly urged that I should take them, as she said she believed they would cure me. I had been under the physicians’ care for over two years, but as they did me no good I did not ask their advice about taking these pills, but laid in a supply and began to take them. In about ten days I began to experience substantial relief, and con- tinued to take them for four months, by which time I was soon cured. The first From the Chronicle, Chicago, Il. benefit I obtained was a less frequent de- sire to urinate, and lessening of that dread- ful pain in the back, which ceased alto- gether very soon. My stomach became comfortable, and my Leart’s action normal. After the first break my recovery was rapid and to-day I flatter myself I am a sound man, and able to attend to my business better than I ever could before.”’ (Signed) E. N. HALLECK. I, E..N.
