Bellefonte, Pa., Dec. 3, 1897. FARM NOTES. —Whether your method be by cold deep setting of milk, or extraction by the hand separator, keep the whole process, includ- ing the butter making, entirely away from the kitchen. —The main principle to be observed in feeding the milch cow is to feed moderate- ly, and to avoid all sudden changes in the rations. Let the quantity be ample, but never excessive. —The owner has the opportunity from the day the calf is dropped until it isa full fledged cow to make it gentle. Kindness is an important item of the stock in trade on the dairy farm as it is everywhere else. : —Turnips are a valuable winter feed for sheep and cattle, particularly the former. When fed to milk cows give just after milk- ing, otherwise the milk may be given an unpleasant odor, and undesirable taint. —1In hungry hens, that is, hens that are always kept hungry, there is no money ; but between a well-fed hen and one that is overfed there is a vast difference. A hen that is made to scratch for everything she eats is in but little danger of eating too much. —Ample room must be allowed fowls, but unlimited space is only injurious. The only advantage an unlimited range can possibly give fowls will be on the supply of animal food in the way of insects, and that can be supplied as profitably as the other food we supply them with, and should be given once a week in the shape of refuse meats from the butchers, boiled and chopped up fine. —There is no poorer economy than in buying poor harness because it is cheap. Well tanned leather with due care will re- sist dampness, and will keep sound a long time. Harness should never be kept in the stable. There is too much ammon- ia in the stables, which will quickly cause harness to rot. When used in warm weath- er the harness should be cleaned often, and kept soft and flexible with oil. —The roof wears out, unless kept paint- ed, faster than will any other part of a wooden building. It pays better to keep the roof painted than it does the sides, and it will also need to be painted oftener. When shingles are used from clear, straight grained wood and kept always painted, they will last a very long time. One of the advantages of painting roofs is to keep water from the nails, whose rusting soon rots the wood where they are driven. —1It is not generally considered a good time to set posts in the fall. No matter how well the soil is compacted around them rains will sink down in the soil that has lately been disturbed. The winter frosts will also penetrate more deeply,and in win- ter when there is much freezing and thawing will gradually lift the posts up. If posts are set in the fall for a fence the boards must be nailed on so as to keep the posts from being twisted, so that they must be reset before a fence can be made. —Little pigs give returns for the extra attention necessary in preparing their food. See that each little fellow gets one teat, that he may have his share of the mother’s milk. A little warm milk made into a mash with middlings will help the sow to make more and better milk and the little pigs to grow. Have plenty of fresh water on hand where the sow and the pigs can get it at all times. A little charcoal will prevent sour stomach. Health and thrift in breeeding animals means money in the farmer’s pocket. : —-It has been found that five single acre plots will feed one-third more sheep than a single five acre fleld will. And the bene- fit thus realized has fully repaid the cost of fencing in one year. The figures given of course apply to larger fields as -well as to small ones. It is the imperative duty of the good shepherd to save his flocks from those ex- asperating flies which torment the sheep by laying.eggs on the nostrils. These pro- duce the grubs which are found in the nasal organs, often killing the sheep by the irritation they cause. Thesimple reme- dy is to keep the noses of the sheep tarred in any possible way. Alfalfa needs good management to make hay. The leaves are so apt to drop off leaving merely a mass of hard, woody stalks of little value that much care is needed. The crops should be cut before the stalks are hard, and gathered into shocks before the hay is dry. Then there is less risk of breaking off the leaves and the curing in the shock toughens the stalks. If a crop of mixed peas and oats has not been put in for the sheep this year it should not be forgotten next. It is the best green or dry fodder crop for the flock, either for summer or winter feeding. If one has not other grain than these two, mixed and ground together rather coarse- ly, for the sheep, he will have no reason to complain, and the dried fodder is eaten not only with great relish, but it the most nutritious of all roughness. ‘When a lamb is swollen under the throat, ora sheep either, it is out of order and needs attention. It should be kept alone a few days and watched. Most likely all it needs is a few mashes of warm gruel, with a little sugarand a few drops of es- sence of ginger in it. A little coddling and nursing, in fact. The greatest fear of the shepherd at this time is the stagnant water by which the sheep are infected by those injurious worms which produce the two most serious disorders of the flock—the throat thread worms and the liver flukes. For the lat- ter, salt is a true specific, always prevent- ing this disease. Mangels never yet hurt a sheep ; on the contrary they are helpful to them. These roots are not only digestible, fully and wholly, being all digested and assimilated by the sheep, but this digestibility helps to digest other food. The next best thing is to sow white turnips and gather them before the hard frosts occur. You may get 600 or 800 bushels from an «cre of good land at a cost of fifty cents for the seed, one pound being enough for one acre. Fly blow is a troublesome matter, and should have been carefully avoided by pre- cautions. Oil is the best thing to apply to sheep ; it kills off grubs and helps to heal the sores. One way of avoiding itis to get the cuts made in shearing well healed immediately, by applying some ointment or some other dressing, or simply dusting the cuts with dry calomel, by which they are healed in a few days. Apply raw lin- seed oil all over the infected parts. Giraffe Hunting. | Comparatively Little Danger, but a Good Horse is Necessary. The pleasure of a giraffe hunt is indis- putable, but it is one that no real sports- man will repeat more than twice. A hard spur and sjambok gallop through bush and thorn, with more than an even chance of your nag putting his foot mn a jackal’s earth, a gradual overhauling of the giant mammals that are sailing without apparent exertion in front of you, a hasty dismount unless you are lucky enough to be able to shoot from horseback, a bullet planted just above the tail and penetrating through the tough skin into the heart and lungs, and with a crash your game comes to earth, and you are standing, dripping with per- spiration after your two-mile run, and out- rageously scratched with haak-dorn, over the body of what is surely the strangest animal that even South America can produce. The trouble is that beyond the chance of being thrown or of coming in contact with a tree, there is not much dan- ger in the pursuit of the.giraffe. No ani- mal can be more gentle or defenseless. You have the thrilling excitement of a twenty minutes’ burst, but you miss what should be the spice of big game hunting—the risk. All that you need in giraffe hunting is a good nag ; if possible, one that has been used to the business. It is hard to keep an inexperienced horse from boring to one side when the disagreeable smell of an old giraffe bull comes down the wind. With that and a solid Martini-Henry bullet—the hollow express ones are not firm enough to get far beyond the inch or inch and a half of brazen hide that encases these monsters---success is almost certain. Gi- raffes do not put out their fullest speed unless very hard pressed. They start off at an easy, ambling gait moving the legs on one side simultaneously, like an Amer- ican pacer. Their black bushy tails corkscrew over their backs, and their immense necks bob backward and forward at each stride. They do not appear to be going very fast, but you will find you have to be well mounted to get withing shooting distance of them. If not run down in the first two miles they stand a good chance of getting clean away. When going their hardest they change their gait in an extraordinary sort of gallop, their hind legs being well straddled out and brought forward, one on each side, in front of the fore legs. It isa jerky, convulsive, awkward movement, but wonderfully effective as a means of get- ing over the ground. We had ridden for nearly four miles eastward from Botletti across the desert, with nothing more cheering to look upon than the brown and shriveled mopani trees, and I was growing dejected. But the Masarwa bushmen, unequaled as spoorers even in South Africa, knew their business, and led us at length to wood- lands of camel thorn, with open parklike glades of yellow grass, interspersed with dense thickets of haak-doorn. And there we struck a herd of five. They caught sight of us when we were 300 yards away and headed at once for the forest. Giraffes are remarkable for picking out a straight line and keeping to it. A grand old bull of an almost mahogany color led the way, with the cows of dark orange hue close be- hind. Some very dense and thorny thick- ets had to be taken first, through which their heavy weight and iron skins cleared an easy path. I never expected to see any- thing more extraordinary than the way in which they dodged the branches, bending their necks so low at times from behind, and avoiding trees with a lightning turn of which no horse could be capable. Then we used our spurs and whips freely. By galloping hard at right angles to their line we managed to turn the herd toward the open velt, and a short heart-bursting race resulted in two cows dropping behind the rest, reeling for 150 yards, and finally tot- tering over with a magnificent crash. The bull we purposely let alone, as his flesh is rank and uneatable by any one except a half-starved Masarwa. Cows give excel- lent steaks, and their marrow hones are perhaps the tidbit of an African hunter’s menu, being full of juicy and succulent meat. Their hides we used for making whips and sandals of, trading the latter to the Bechuanas on our way down country. Sea=-Weed and Amber. The main source of the amber supply is the sea-coast of the Baltic Ocean. It is fossil gum, originally the exudation of a species of conifer new extinct. This grew in luxuriant profusion hundreds of years ago on the marshy coasts of northern Europe, when the climate was much warmer than it is to-day. The natural history of amber is thus explained. The immense forests of amber pine underwent their natural downfall and decay. The resin of the wood accumulated in large quantities in bogs and ponds and in the soil of the forest. Where the coast was slowly sinking. the sea by-and-by covered the land, and the amber, which had been gradually hardening, was at last deposited at the ocean bottom. But in higher, re- gions the pine continued to flourish, and so amber would still continue to be wash- ed down to the shore, and deposited in the later formed green sand, and the still later formed stratum of lignite or brown coal. The gum became fossilized by its long burial underground. More than two hun- dred specimens of extinct life, animal and vegetable, have been found embedded in amber specimens, including insects, rep- tiles, plants, leaves, shells, fruit, etc., which had been caught in the liquid gum and entombed there for all time. Some of these specimens are so curiously beautiful as to be almost priceless, and one English collector has a cabinet of them which is valued at £100,000. One piece embalms a lizard about eight inches long, a little jewelled monster perfect in its form and coloring, which has no like in anything existing now. Indeed, in many instances science is able solely through this medium to study details of animal life which per- ished from the earth many hundred thou- sand of years ago. There are flies pre- served with wings poised as if for flight, where the prismatic sheen glowing through the yellow sepulchre is a brilliant as if they were floating alive in the sunshine.— Har- per’s Round Table. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY YET— W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilaw, Ill., ‘‘Chief,”’ says : ‘““We won’t keep house without Dr. King’s New Discovery for consump- tion, coughs and colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King’s New Dis- covery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, asin it we have a cer- tain and sure cure for coughs, colds, whoop- ing cough, ete.”’ It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr. King’s New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and be- | sides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at I. Potts Green’s drug store.

She frowned medi- tatively. ‘A kiss,” she said, ‘‘is an expression of sentiment. Placed upon the hand it sig- nifies respect ; upon the forehead, friend- ship ; upon the lips, both—and more, or neither. Since you have asked it, you may express yourself in one kiss. Pro- ceed.”’ He hesitated. Through respect and friendship love may be reached. If he were too bold she—He hesitated. He gazed down into the grass and pondered swiftly. He tried to read her mood. He would place that one kiss upon her— He heard a trill as of many birds. He looked up. She was whistling softly. Her hat was pulled down to her eyes, covering her forehead, and her hands were thrust deep into the pockets of her jacket. ——A man in love is a man who wishes to be more amiable and agreeable than he can be, and this is the reason why all men in love are ridiculous. — Rheumatism is caused by lactic acid in the blood.
