Bellefonte, Pa., Jan. 7, 1898. FARM NOTES. —Persian insect powder blown forcibly into the nostrils of sheep or used as an ex- tract in alcohol is recommended for sheep gadfly. The usual method of removing these flies with a feather moistened in oil of carbolic acid 18 also quite successful.— American Agriculturist. —The humane man who happens to be | the owner of a horse will now see to it that the animal is sharp shod, It is the greatest cruelty to drive a horse in the winter with- out seeing to it that the horse’s shoes are fitted so as to give him a foothold on ice and sleet. An old iron shoe worn smooth as glass, renders the poor animal helpless and impotent to stand, much less to pull a load. —There is scarcely a farmer in this coun- try who uses any fertilizer for his orchard, simply because he has always been taught that the old orchard would take care of itself. And what a mistake! It needs the same care and attention as the land devoted to other crops. Why not renovate the old orchard? Cut down the worthless trees. Plow the whole area, sow to white clover and timothy, put on about 200 pounds of muriate of potash, and 200 pounds of dis- solved bone per acre. Keep the orchard trimmed and each year apply chemical fer- tilizers in about this proportion per acre: Nitrate of soda, 100 pounds; ground bone, 200 pounds; muriate of potash, 300 pounds, By a little systematic work and study every farmer could materially increase his profit with a little extra work, and perhaps a little outlay of money. If the old orchard is hard and unproductive, first put it in fit condition for the growing of crops and the trees. ; Cover the hardest spots with manure. Get humus in the soils, and with an appli- cation of potash and phosphoric acid, one can feel sure that a good harvest will re- sult.—C. W. Burkett, in Hoard’s Dairy- man. —A bulletin of the South Carolina Sta- tion, on the subject of wounds of animals, says that stock owners usually treat wounds with liniment or contempt, and it is diffi- cult to determine which is the worse treat- ment. Either is likely to result in an ugly running sore, ending in an unsightly scar, if nothing more serious. Wounds cannot be healed by art. We can only assist na- ture. Most liniments increase inflamma- tion, and thus thwart nature's effort to heal the wound. ; A wound made by a smooth cut is called an incised wound; one made by a blunt instrument is a contused wound; one made by a sharp, pointed instrument is a punc- tured wound ; one whose edges are torn and irregular is called a lacerated wound. A shallow wound is called superficial; one goring deeply into the flesh isa deep wound, and one which reaches into the hollow of the chest or abdomen is called a penetrating wound. : There are three features of wounds which call for man’s ministry—gaping, bleeding and pain. Bleeding is the only feature im- mediately dangerous, and this should re- ceive first attention. Usually, if only small blood vessels are ruptured, a clot wiil form and bleeding will cease without aid. But in other cases the animal may quickly per- ish unless assistance be given promptly. If the flowing blood is of a bright red color and comes in spurts or jets at each pulsation of the heart, an artery has been severed, and pressure should be applied be- tween the wound and the heart. If the flow is steady and of a dark red color, in comes from a vein, and pressure should be applied on the other side of the wound from the heart. The best form of pressure is a liga- ture. Pull out the cut end of the artery or veins with forceps or tweezers, and tie a silk thread about it tightly, about half an inch from the cut end. Small arteries may be grasped with the forceps and twisted a few times, when bleeding will cease. An- other form of pressure is to tie a knot in a handkerchief around the limb so that the knot will press as tightly as possible, usu- ally putting a stick under it and twisting. If the wound is too deep for either of these methods, or if the bleeding seems to come from many blood vessels rather than one large one, pack the wound full of absorbent cotton, saturated with tincture of iron, or a little alum water. Soot, cobwebs, ete., will often stop bleeding. After the bleeding has been controlled, remove all foreign substances from the wound, cleanse it with tepid water con- taining one part bichloride of mercury (cor- rosive sublimate) to 1,000 parts of water, or three parts carbolic acid to 100 parts of water. Do not rub with a sponge or cloth if possible to avoid it. Just let the water flow over the wound from the sponge until it is clean. i Having cleansed the wound, stitch it up, unless the muscles are cut across the grain. In that case leave it open till professional advice can be had. If this is impossible dust it daily with a powder composed of three parts tannic acid and one part iodo- form. If proud flesh appears, dust with burnt alum. Pain is often relieved by the application of a little laudanum. Puncture of the joints, cutting of leaders, wounds in the eye, chest or belly, are all exceedingly delicate to treat, and should have the immediate attention of a profes- sional. Punctured wounds are most common, and because the outward wound is small, they are generally thought to he of little consequence, but in fact they are dangerous and difficult to treat. Remove any foreign substance, and enlarge the wound if neces- sary, so that it may be thoroughly cleaned as above directed, or by injecting the med- icated tepid water into it with a syringe. If the foot is punctured, remove the pail or snag, cut out in funnel shape, and swab out daily with turpentine. If deep, place in a bath of hot water containing a little creoline for two days, then remove, and plug up the hole with cotton dipped in creoline. For bruises, apply clothes wrung out of hot water, containing one part ecreoline to 100 parts water. Lacerated wounds should never be stitched, as the torn skin has lost its vital- ity and will tear out. Clean out thoroughly and give hot fomentations, as recommended for bruises. Provide free drainage for pus (matter), making an opening for this pur- pose in the lower part of the wound, if necessary. After fomentation, dust daily with the tannic acid and iodoform powder. Animals are not often burned, but when they are, the injury is likely to be exten- sive and therefore dangerous and generally fatal. Treatment consists in removing dead flesh, bathing with a mixture of lime water and linseed oil in equal parts, and dusting with flour or covering with cotton, the ob- jeot being to keep out the air. : If complications arise, such as blood poisoning, abscess, erysipelas, lockjaw, etc., call in a veterinarian or a physician. Victiin of Goiter. The Disease Is Brought on by Drinking Snow Water, The valley of the Rhone has been quite noted for its goiter victims, al- though I am happy to say that through the increased watchfulness of the au- thorities there now is an abatement of the disease. Many different causes are assigned to the terrible affliction—this enlargement of the glands of the throat, goiter, or ‘‘big neck,’’ ‘as it is some- times called—and even the best inform- ed are far from being unanimous as to its origin or prevention. The peasants themselves say it is brought on by the habitual use of snow and glacial water. The water is so cold it acts as a counter irritant, and so inflames the throat, but this explanation hardly holds, as the inhabitants of the upper regions are not so often afflicted as are the people in the lower valleys. The use of chemically impure water, especially hard water, is given as a cause. The experiment has been made where the water of certain wells was used to the exclusion of all other water. With- in a short time goiter symptoms began to manifest themselves where none had been before. Sometimes this dis- ease is epidemic. An instance was noted where in a garrison one out of ev- ery 20 men became afflicted. Infants are seldom born with goiter, but after it once takes hold the progress of the disease is very rapid. I believe that it is rarely fatal, but because of this en- largement of the glands and the conse- quent disfigurement of the throat it is most repulsive, and yet the natives are 80 accustomed to seeing it that they do not seem to care. It probably is simply a source of discomfort rather than mor- tification. In fact, in some portions of France, Italy and Switzerland a goiter is a thing to be prized and to be exhib- ited, for its possession exempts a man from military service. Young men have been known to resort to certain wells supposed to convey this poison to the blood that they might evade conscrip- tion. When Savoy was annexed to France, vigorous measures were adopt- ed to stamp out if possible this hateful disease. There was a heavy penalty for drinking the water of forbidden wells, and then the little children were treat- ed in the hope of curing them. Lozen- ges of iodine were administered, and out of 5,000 children 2,000 were cured, and more would have been helped had not the parents ignorantly opposed the giving of the remedies. The villages al- 80 were cleaned and sanitary measures insisted upon. For, aside from all other causes, it is quite agreed that goiter may be transmitted or be sporadic. Like diphtheria, it is a filth disease, and of- ten has its origin in the negligent hab- its of the villagers. These peasants re- fuse to live elsewhere than in the old ‘‘dorfer’’ (villages), each morning going far away to the fields, but returning at night to their overcrowded homes, where men, women and children, cows, goats and donkeys dwell together fra- ternally. —Chicago Inter Ocean. Showed His Baggage. There Wasn't Much of It, but It Satisfied the Clerk. iv 18 not always necessary to travel with three or four saratogas, a dress suit case, a bundle of rugs and a bird cage in order to obtain good accommo- dations at hotels. Occasionally there does exist through- out this hospitable land a hotel which does not require a certificate as to a per- son’s ancestry, status in life, past his- tory and future movements before its clerk permits one the privilege of a room. At least this is the firm belief advanced by a young Chicago couple Just back from their wedding trip. Down east one day the train wended its way through the woods and heights of the Adirondacks and miles away from civilization halted at a lone platform bordered by a piny wildness too allur- ing to be slighted by westerners fresh from prairie ‘lands. “Train stops 1 hour and 15 minutes, *’ announced the young husband who had made a dash for the conductor. Out on the platform and up the charming road wandered these two, and time flew. However, they kept an eye on their watches and reached the platform with ten minutes to spare. But the train was gone. A lone man perched at the end of the platform explained in a bored way in the face of their indignation that it was 15 minutes and not 1 hour and 15 min- ates that the train stopped. ‘““When is the next train?’ the trav- elers begged. ‘“There isn’t any,’’ sweetly said the native. ‘“Where is a hotel?’’ they shouted. “Up the road the other way,” the sphinx said in a tired way and turned to watch the antics of a grasshopper. Up the road the other way they went and discovered in the wilderness a ho- tel with a haughty clerk, electric lights and all modern improvements. ‘‘Any baggage?’’ inquired the man at the desk as the young man registered. The travelers gasped in consternation as they stared wildly at each other with the sudden shock of realizing that trous- seau, traveling bags and umbrellas were speeding miles away from them. *‘Oh, yes!’’ gulped the young husband airily. ‘‘Baggage — of course.’”’ He plunged into one pocket, drew out a small comb, his wife’s powder box and its accompanying square of chamois, which he gravely laid before the clerk. That gentleman never moved an eye- lash. “‘Front!’’ he called. *‘No. 227!" The heroine of this story still claims the imperturbable clerk was a mind reader, but her husband says it was all due to her helpless, appealing air and the streak of cinders on her nose.—Chi- cago News. Business Methods. ‘““What! You begging here too? Isaw you only a little while ago begging on Schiller place.’ ; ‘“Yes, I have a branch establishment there. ’’—Fliegende Blatter.

Did any of you ever stop to think why the year begins and ends at this particular period in midwinter. Was the world cre- ated during Christmas week and opened for business on the 1st of January and have we been keeping count ever since? The story of Genesis does not say so, and we have lost count since the beginning of things. For a long time, how long it is impossible to estimate, after man began to dwell on the earth he was not much con- cerned about the reckoning of time and there are still millions who lose count of the passage of years even in so short a space as a single lifetime. A certain de- gree of civilization was required pefore the necessity of chronology, or the science of keeping tab on time, became apparent. When this necessity was made manifest, it was a gradual growth, and it took ages un- til an accurate system was devised though all of the old imperfect chronologies are easy of correction and of being reduced to the terms of our own. e beginning of the year has been by all nations fixed ar- bitrarily, usually with reference to some notable event of the birth of some great man, and New Year's day might just as well have been in the middle of summer, or in the spring, or fall, asin the middle of our winter. In fact, it does come at dif- ferent latitudes. *_#* * Our present New Year's day is of course fixed with reference to the birth of Christ from which all Christian nations now reck- on time. For several centuries after that event, however, there was some confusion as to the beginning of the year. Fora time it began on Christmas day, and Easter and the 25th of March were for a time the beginning of the year. Finally the 7th day after the birthday of Christ and the day of his circumcision was fixed upon and has been permanent for at least 10 centuries, and we are now able to account for almost every minute of time elapsing jsince the great event from which we date. But our system is not accepted or used by all the world, by any means. Though the meth- ods differ considerably every nation and people with any pretenses to civilization possesses a chronology running back many centuries, but they begin their years at different periods and there is hardly a month, according to our calendar, which does not contain the New Year's day of some nation. The Christian world inherit- ed its meshod of the computation of time, as it did many other things, from the Romans. They reckoned time from the supposed founding of the city of Rome by Romulus, which was about 753 years be- fore the beginning of the Christian era. The Greeks showed their sporting blood by dating from a great victory in the Olym- pian games which occurred some 776 years before the birth of Christ. The Mohamme- dans following the example of the Christ- t ans date from the flight of Mohammed from Mecca, which occurred July 16, A. D., 622 of our era. : Re The Jews date from the creation of the world which according to their computation took place 3760 years before Christ, but which is disputed by other computations and does not accord with the chronology of other Eastern nations who date from events supposedly long after the creation. Both the Hindoo and the Chinese chronologies reach back over 8,000 years, which cause our era to seem modern in comparison. Not only is there this difference be- tween nations and peoples as to the events from which their count is made but there are differences in the length of the year in the months and other divisions all of which are arbitrary, though they were all regu- lated in the end by the movement of the heavenly bodies, and the sun is the great clock upon which all rely. In consequence it is comparatively easy to take the chro- nology of any people and, after under- standing the system upon which it is based, to find how many years it embraces under our own method of computation. * ¥ * Living as we do with a calendar, all ready fixed, it almost appears as if time counted itself and as if its computation was a part of nature, but it has required infinite toil and pains to properly regulate what seems to ‘be so simple a matter,and it keeps many people employed, even now, to keep everything straight and to give everybody round the globe the right time so as to avoid confusion. Even the literature of the subject would make a considerable li- brary, and the list of books printed in relation thereto would be as long or longer than this article. Our knowledge on the subject is being constantly added to, still, by the study of ancient inscriptions found among the relics of perished nations and peoples. As to New Year's day itself it has among all nations, from the remotest antiquity, been deemed worthy of celebra- tion and generally has been marked hy religious ceremonies. It is in reality looked upon as a much more important oc- casion in the rest of the world than among the Christians nations. From Pole to Pole. It has been referred to as remarkable that the United States Government, in fitting out its expedition for the relief of the whaler imprisoned in the Arctic Seas, should have selected and included Royal Baking Powder among its supplies, and no other. This is not at all to be wondered at. The superior quality of the Royal made its use upon this occasion indispensable. The Royal is the only baking powder so care- fully and perfectly made that it will keep fresh in all climates, under variable de- grees of temperature and moisture, during long sea voyages, etc. It is the only bak- ing powder that will do its work uniformly and perfectly at the Poles and under the Equator as well as in the United States. The Royal is regularly and continuously selected for use at our army posts, in the navies of this country and Great Britain and upon the fleets of merchant vessels that cover the oceans, irrespective of the flag they fly. All this means that the Royal is the best baking powder for home use also. It means that it has qualities peculiar to it- self which make its usefulness beyond that possible for any other baking powder to at- tain. Quay Buys a House in Allegheny Coun- ty.

That when celery is eaten largely an al- kaline blood is the result, and that where this exists there can be neither rheumatism nor gout. That it should not only be eaten raw, but cooked. That it should be cut in small pieces and boiled till tender in as little water as possi- ble, and after adding to this a little rich milk, thicken slightly with flour and sea- son with butter, pepper and salt. That the tender leaves and small ends of the stalk, which are usually thrown away, should be used for soups, and even the greener leaves are useful, for they may be dried and powdered and used in flavoring soups and the dressings of roasts. ——Who can fail to take advantage of this offer.

An iron bolt, a glass stopper and a lead pipe, about which was wrapped the yellow program of a negro minstrel show of eight years ago, were found to-day in bags of silver in the treasury. From the bag containing the iron bolt seven silver dollars were missed, but the bag weighed correctly with the tally. From the bag with the glass stopper 10 silver dollars were absent, and the bag was light weight. pipe was full weight, but 16 silver dollars had been stolen. So far, treasurer Roberts stated, the count developed a $700 short- age. All this shortage had been found in the bags containing silver dollars. The discovery of the minstrel program dated eight years ago removed the doubts eiitertained as to when the pilfering began. It has been going on for eight years at least, from the'time Messrs. Huston and Nabeker were United States treasurers in the Harrison administration. ~~ Treasurer Roberts says it has probably been in progress for 10 years or’ more.’ It develops also, he says, with what ease the treasury can be robbed by its trusted em-’ ployes. . —— Subscribe for the WATCHMAN, Ea Plumbing etc. Seteseeceietiatttettctttttttetttttttnttrrintttrarane CHANCES FOR CHEATING are probably greater and more frequent in the plumbing trade than in any other.
