& -Bellefonte, Pa., July 2, 1897. FARM NOTES. —Have a good dust bath on hand for the fowls always, and provide a plentiful sup- ply of grit if they are kept in small runs. —Whenever green material is plowed under use lime. About thirty bushels per acre will answer, and if 10 bushels per acre are applied every year thereafter the land will be benefited in many ways. Lime is plentiful and should be used on all farms. —The burdock, considered a nuisance in this country, has been cultivated as an ar- ticle of food in Japan for centuries. The roots, leaves and tender shoots are cooked and eaten, and the annual value of the burdock crop is said to be about $400,000. -—Whale oil soap is harmless to plants, and is an excellent insecticide for certain kinds. One pound of the soap in eight gallons of water, sprayed on rose bushes with a syringe, will destroy aphides. It should be used liberally, however. Many plants kept in the house may be safely washed with the solution. —June and July are the months for dig- ging the peach tree borer out of the trunks. The work may be done without injury to the trees, and is very necessary. The method is too cut into the opening made by the borer or insert wire, but care should be used so as to insure the destruction of the borer. If barnyard manure were applied with land plaster to the grape vine—the plaster in much great quantities than usually em- ployed—we would have a fertilizer special- ly adapted to the production of grapes. It is a mistake not to make greater use of stable manure in our vineyards. —A good milch cow has broad hind quarters and thin forequarters, thin and deep neck, pointed withers, head pointed between the horns, flat and fine boned legs and fine hair. Choose one with udders well forward, wide apart and large enough to be easily grasped. A medium sized cow will give more milk in proportion to the food she eats. —The currant worm does immense dam- age to currant bushes every year, and uu- less kept down will put an end to the crop. The remedy for the currant worm is white hellebore, an ounce of the powder being dissolved in two gallons of water, applied with a fine sprinkler. The mix- ture will also destroy slugs on rose bushes. The substance used is very poisonous, and should be kept in some place where no mis- take can be made with it by any member of the family. —Potash is the mineral that is most needed for the potato crop. But it is much better distributed as a top dreesing over the whole surface than applied with the seed potatoes in the hill. The potato roots very early in their growth fill the soil between the rows. When mineral manures are ap- plied in the hill, unless care is taken to mix them thoroughly with the soil, they may eat into the cut seed, and effectually destroy the germ. When used broadcast on the surface there is no danger of this. —At the rates at which wheat bran al- ways sells for in spring it is quite as profit- able for feeding to buy wheat and have it ground whole without bolting. If this makes too heavy a feed some more bran ad- ded to keep it from cloging the stomach, or perhaps some oats ground with the wheat, may be added. Yet for the nutrition af- forded the whole wheat ground makes a cheaper feed than does the bran, and for both horses and cows it can be safely fed with cut hay, cut corn stalks or cut straw. —Beginners with poultry who desire to keep large flocks should commence with a few and gradually increase. Not only is this the easiest way to utilize the capital to the best advantage, but by raising the hens they can be bred for the purposes de- sired. When one goes to the market, or on the farms to buy hens there is a liability cf bringing ths disease and lice on the farm. Any mistake made in the beginning will be difficult to overcome later. About 100 hens per acre are sufficient, as failures oc- cur mostly in attempting to keep to many fowls on a limited area of land. —Many medicinal plants can be grown with profit, as the demand for some kinds is increasing. Absinthe (wormwood ) can be raised as far north as new England, and this country imports it from Europe. Saffron, which sells for $8 per pound, may be grown in nearly all sections. Peppermint and spearemint find ready sale, and sage which is well known to every farmer, is imported, frequently selling at $150 per ton. Then there are hoarhound, boneset, mandrake, blood root, pennyroyal, etc., which are re- garded as weeds in some localities, all of which are largely used and have a value in market. —-All the necessity for care is not ended when the hen is duly installed in her three weeks’ task and is setting faithfully. The Asiatic breeds of fowls, including such crosses as the Plymouth Rock, are so per- sistent in setting that unless the poulterer tempts to eat they may addle the eggs by too much warmth and exclusion of the air. The egg is porous, and the young chick must get all the air it requires through the shell. As hatching time approaches there is less danger of addling the eggs by cold, even if the hen is off some time. The warmth from the chick will keep the egg from getting cold, anyway. Sprinkling the with tepid water is useful where the sitting is too persistent. —-A spraying mixture claimed to be cheap- er than paris green, iscomposed as follows : Two peunds white arsenic, eight pounds sal soda and 40 pounds lime, the total cost of the spraying mixture being 70 cents, or 3} cents per barrel as a solution. The quantities mentioned will make 800 gallons of spraying mixture. Dissolve the arsenic by boiling with carbonate of soda in two gallons of water (ordinary washing soda), which mixture can be kept always ready for use. Boil in an old iron pot for 15 minutes, or until the arsenic is dissolved. When wanted for use slake two pounds of lime and add 40 gallons of water. Into this pour a pint of the arsenic mixture. This preparation will not burn the leaves of plants. It makes a milky colored spray, | which can easily be seen on the plants, and | is not only cheaper than paris green, but more uniform iu strength and fully as effi- | cacious. ——Of 127 seniors and 165 juniors who | took the State Normal school examination, | at Bloomsburg, only 3 and 4, respectively, failed. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN.

From the Press, One of the many persons in Columbus, Ohio, who have been benefited by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People is Miss Jerusha McKinney, of 50 South’ Centre street. Miss McKinney is well and favorably known, especially in educational circles, as she has been for a number of years, a faithful and progressive school teacher. For some time she has been very ill and the sufferings and tortures endured by her for months have been unusually severe. The tale of her sufferings and the subse- quent relief and final cure which she de- rived from the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, aroused considerable agitation among her many friends and others. A reporter was detailed to obtain a relia- ble account of this marvelous case, and when he called he found Miss McKinney at her comfortable and cozy home where she cheerfully complied with his request. She said : ‘“The first indication that I had that any thing was radically wrong with me was about three years ago. I suffered the most excruciating pains in different parts of my body and was almost crazed at times. My sleep was disturbed by horrible dreams and I began to waste away to almost a shadow. To add to my other afflictions the malady assumed a catarrhal turn and I was soon a victim to that horrible as well as disgust- ing disease. I consulted the family phy- sician who gave me some kind of a nos- trum and I was foolish enough to imagine that it benefited me. I followed the ad- vice of the physicians but noticed no per- ceptible improvement in my condition and was about to despair of ever becoming a strong and well woman again. ‘Some of my lady friends were calling on me one afternoon and before them I hap- pened to mention my troubles, when one Columbus, Ohio. , of them recommended that I try Dr. Wil- | liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I had never had any faith in medicines of that kind and paid but little attention to the suggestion. It was not long after this, however, that T again heard the pills high- ly recommended, by several person, and then it was that I decided to give them a trial and purchased one box of the pills. I soon began to notice an improvement in my condition and before the whole box had been taken my health was so much im- proved, that I was about ready to begin singing the praises of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. “I was not yet thoroughly convinced and decided to wait a while before growing en- thusiastic over the results, and had begun on the second box before I was confident that I had at last found a medicine to meet the requirements of my case. I discontinu- ed my calls to the physicians and have left them alone since. I am now as well and strong as I ever was in my life ; am entire- ly free from all pains and never felt better in my life. I eat regularly and sleep like ababe. No more are my slumbers haunted with fearful dreams and when I retire at night I go to sleep at once. I regard Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People as my salvation, and would recommend them to all ladies troubled as I was. The pills are more than what is claimed for them and anyone giving them a trial will soon come to the same conclusion regarding their merits that I have.”’ Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People contain all the elements necessary to give new lifeand richness to the blood and re- store shattered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenec- tady, N. Y., for 50c. per box, or six boxes for $2.50. Don’t Waste Coal. The World is Burning Up its Fuel Supply Too Fast. The whole system of locomotion is threat- ened with imminent revolution. The two horses, one of flesh and one of iron, one eating oats and the other coal, find their vocations going away together. Science threatens to burn their carcasses on the same pyre. Electricity offers itself as a locomotive force for the nations. The steam locomotive, vaunted emblem and token of the greatest of centuries, finds it- self at the close about to be relegated to the great ash heap of curiosities before which civilization stands laughing. But the thing is not yet certain. We cannot make haste to dig a grave for the locomo- tive. It may be that the twentieth century will still demand that heavy, clumsy, but very efficient brute whose office it has been for two generations to carry man and his products to the ends of the earth. The substitution of electricity for steam as a motive force on the great railways of the United States, which now seems so immi- nent, will be, if it comes, the most mar- velous single change that has ever occurred among the physics of the civilized life of man. Oddly enough, the event is held back by one of the caprices of progress. The strength of the locomotive is its imperfec- tion. The application of steam to enginery is accompanied with am error which has cost civilization more dearly than any oth- er flaw in her apparatus. The acceptance of electricity as the one great motive force is strongly impeded by a circumstance which, according to all logical deduction, ought long since to have heen obviated. This circumstance lies in the application of heat, or rather in the evolution of heat and its economy in the production of pow- er. Fully four-fifths of all the fuel of the | world is thrown away. their own most precious resources with an absolute waste of more than 80 per cent of : the whole. Victor Hugo chided the Pa- risians for sending annually through the sewers 25,000,000 francs into the .sea. What shall we say of the whole world shoveling coal into the roaring throats of 100,000,000 furnaces ? There is not an en- gine anywhere, or ever was, that econo- mizes more than 20 per cent of the fuel which it devours.—John Clark Ridpath in Brooklyn Times Train Through a Trestle. Seven Persons are Known to be Dead and the List May Reach 25. KANsaAs City, Mo., June 26-—The St. Louis express, on the Wabash railway, which left here at 6:30 this evening, plung- ed through a trestle at Missouri City, Mo., at five minutes after 7 o'clock, carrying down the entire train, with the exception of the rear cara Pullman.
