FARM NOTES.
—When using salt in butter aim to get
that which will dissolve in water. Do not
use salt that is gritty. Try several brands
by dissolving small portions, selecting that
which leaves the least sediment.
—How many of the tools are dull or im-
plements rusty cannot be known without
an examination. Repairs should be at-
tended to now, before spring opens, and,
as tools and implements that are in good
order will facilitate work, it is important
that this matter receive attention.
—Grinding and cooking the food for
stock has always given good results, but
the objection is to the expense. The cost
of fuel in cooking is an item and the labor
of grinding is another. There are now,
however, grinding mills that do rapid work,
and in winter horse-tread or sweep-power
may be used with benefit to idle horses.
—Rotation of crops is necessary for suc-
cess in farming, as two or three crops of
the same Lind cannot be profitably grown
on a plot. This may be noticed every day,
as hedge plants cannot be renewed by a
hedge of the same kind, and trees planted
in place of others do not thrive. The best
results are obtained when there is a radi-
cal change of crops.
—The fodder shredder is doing good
work in one respect, and that is in reduc-
ing the number of shocks of corn that stand
in the fields all winter. As the shredder
husks the corn and shreds it at the same
time, farmers find that it is. more comfort-
able to haul the fodder to the barn than to
stand out in the fields to husk the corn
and then waste the fodder.
—There is one crop that must be attended
to now or it will soon be too late—aspara-
gus. It comes early in the year, almost as
soon as the frost leaves the ground. The
bed will be benefited now by receiving a
covering of straw, salt hay or any refuse
material and burnt over, so as to destroy
disease germs that may be left over on the
surface of the ground from last year.
—An observer of Danish methods of rais-
ing calves on skim milk states that the
calves at all times have in troughs lumps
of salt and chalk, the claim being that
scours is sometimes due to too much
acidity, which is neutralized by the salt
and chalk. A successful American dairy-
man keeps a jug of lime water and a little
salt to every pint of milk. As one-half
the loses of calves raised on skim milk may
be ascribed to scours, these points may be
worthy of notice.
-—No farmer should keep sheep because
they are scavengers and can pick off a large
share of their food from scanty herbage.
Such sheep must be active to travel over
large spaces in order to find subsistence.
To expect sheep to pay without the invest-
ment of labor is to sacrifice profits. Suc-
cess is assured only when the farmer is
willing to use breeds that give large
carcasses and which respond quickly to
care and attention. It is only the labor,
after all, that makes profit, but the labor
must be bestowed on the best to be had.
—What to do with manure in winter de-
pends largely on the severity of the season.
To haul it on frozen ground and spread it
over the surface will result in a large por-
tion being carried off by rains. In this
section it happens that occasionally a warm
spell results. If the ground will permit of
so doing, the manure may be spread on
plowed ground, and then worked into the
soil with first a cultivator and then a har-
row, following with a field roller. Should
the weather become cold, and the ground
freezes, the manure will be made fine by
frost, and rains will dissolve the soluble
matter to be absorbed by the earth.
—To start a strawberry bed get young
plants early in spring—about April—and
be careful to procure a variety that is both
staminate and pistillate (self-fertilizing).
Set them out in rows three feet apart and
one foot apart in the rows. Keep them
clean of grass and weeds. During the year
they will send out runners, which will
form a mat over and along the rows. The
plants put out the coming spring will
produce fruit the next year, and with clean
cultivation will bear crops for two or three
years. It is best to allow the nurseryman
to select the variety, as some kinds thrive
best on heavy soils and some on light.
—January and February are the months
during which the very early lambs will
come, and, as they will bring from $5 to
$7 when two or three months old, if well
bred, every lamb lost means a large re-
duction in the profits. It may be less
trouble to the farmer to allow the ewes an
open shed and yard well littered, but it
will be more economical io have a warm
place for each ewe, where but few are
together, or where a single ewe can have a
pen to herself until she brings forth her
lambs, as the first 24 hours on a cold day
may so affect the lamb as to either destroy
it or render it a weakling. Young lambs
are tender at first, but if the farmer will
try to be with the ewes, and look after
them until the lambs are strong, he will
save them, and the good prices for the early
ones will repay him well for his lahor.
—It is not too early to make plans for a
garden. A small bed of early onions would
not take up the space of a sitting room, yet
they would provide a supply until late,
while lettuce, kale, radish and early peas
would appear on the table almost by the
time the farmer was over with the work of
planting his staple farm crops. The farmer
who is careful to give his animals pasturage
and green food, because by such methods
he promotes their comfort and thrift,
should do the same for himself and family.
He should make a beginning at some time,
and first make it a point to have, in addi-
tion to apples, pears, plums, peaches and
cherries, the small fruits, such as rasp-
berries, strawberries, currants and goose-
berries. [Establish an asparagus bed and
plant for an early supply onions, peas,
lettuce, radish, kale, cabbage, cauliflower,
beets, parsnips, salsify and even early
potatoes, later putting in more peas and
also lima beans, tomatoes, string beans,
late cabbage, squash, melons, etc. Some
farmers have adopted the plan of planting
long rows of the different vegetables and
small fruits, so as to permit of cultivation
by horse-power, which is better than no
garden at all ; but as vegetable seeds are
very small, and some germinate slowly, it
will be necessary to give some hand work,
and it will pay to dose Now is the time
to haul out the manure on the garden plot
if the weather will permit of working it
into the soil during a warm spell, or it
should be done early in spring. The soil
cannot be made too rich, and the garden
of vegetables and fruits will be the best
paying plot on the farm.
Some Interesting Data for Agriculturists
and Dairymen.
Bulletins that are to be Issued from Ths Pennsyl-
vania State College Experiment Station that Any
One can Get by Writing for Them.
The State College Dairy School has just
made up its list of forty students for the
Creamery Course to be given January 5th
to February 16th, 1898. These students
were selected in the order of their applica-
tion, preference being given to those who
had had previous experience. It was nec-
essary to reject nearly thirty other appli-
cants on account of lack of room.
Analyses of samples of sugar beets grown
in various parts of the State from seed dis-
tributed by the Station last spring have
been nearly completed. As a whole, the re-
sults are very encouraging, although the dry
weather of the late summerand fall render-
ed the yields small. Nearly half the sam-
ples were of sufficiently good quality for
sugar manufacture and a considerable por-
tion of these showed yields of upwards of
eight tons per acre while several very ex-
cellent results were reported. A bulletin
giving the detailed results is in prepara-
tion.
A bulletin giving the results of tests of
varieties of wheat, oats, and potatoes, both
during the past season and for the last
eight years, is now in press.
Mr. M. E. McDonnell, Assistant in Bac-
teriology, made during the past summer a
very thorough study of the milk supply of
the larger cities of the Commonwealth for
the State Department of Agriculture. A
paper containing the report of these results,
together with valuable suggestions as to
the precautions necessary to insure the
cleanliness and healthfulness of milk, will
be contained in the forthcoming report of
the Department.
The Case of Anna Landis.
How a Woman’s Stomach Was Removed to Her Benefit.
The remarkable operation performed by
Dr. Carl Schlatter in Zurich, Switzerland,
which consisted of the complete removal of
a woman'’s stomach and the direct attach-
ment of her cesophagus to the intestine has
so far been a success.
Anna Landis, the woman whose stomach
was amputated, is gaining flesh and in no
particular, so far as the usual action of na-
ture is concerned, differs from other mor-
tals.
It is an unusual, but by no means ex-
traordinary, operation to remove a portion
of the stomach. One of the results of a
person being without this organ is that he
must be reconciled to an entirely different
system of eating than that usually in
vogue. Instead of three meals a day it
would be necessary to take ten. Solid food
can be partaken of, although in very limit-
ed quantities at a time, for lack of stomach
capacity. This is because the intestinal
canal or the bowel which takes the place of
the stomach can only digest a very little at
a time.
In the case of Dr. Schlatter’s patient her
age rendered the operation less difficult.
So far as age is concerned, it is a well-
known fact that the older one grows the
less onerous becomes the stomach’s duties.
Considered from every standpoint, how-
ever, the operation at Zurich is unques-
tionably the surgical triumph of the cen-
tury. It is a physical revelation. It at
once raises the question: ‘‘Is it possible
that no organ of the body is really a vital
necessity to existence ?’’
The Bull Didn’t Know.
A story is told of a great English per-
sonage who thought everybody knew or
ought to know him. One day he was
walking through a field when a bull ad-
dressed him in an undertone and made for
him with his head down, and his horns in
a position to raise him.
He was a minister, a man of dignity and
political power, and of natural pomposity.
But he ran. He ran surprisingly well.
He ran better than he ever did for office,
and he got to the fence first. He clamber-
ed over, out of breath and dignity, and
found the owner of the bull contemplating
the operation.
“What do you mean, sir,” asked the
irate statesman,” by having an infuriated
animal like that roaming over the field ?"’
“Well, I suppose the bu!l has some right
in the field,”’ said the farmer.
“Right? Do you know who I am, sir ?”’
gasped the baronet.
The farmer shook his head.
“I am the Right Honorable Sir—.”’
“Then why on earth didn’t you tell the
bull ?”’ said the farmer.
New Names for the Same Old Things.
‘‘New names for old things,’ remarked
a gentleman yesterday, ‘‘are the order of
the day. There are from time to time
heavy rainfalls in this country which in
the old time were characterized as ‘down-
pours,’ or something of that kind. Now,
however, we hear of ‘cloudbursts’ every-
where. Every time a mill creek overflows
or a hay crop gets suddenly spoiled, it is
attributed to a ‘cloudburst.” People have
been dying from a stoppage of the heart’s
action since the beginning of mortality,
and yet it is but recently that we began to
hear of ‘heart failure.” A heated term is
now produced by a ‘hot wave; all sick-
ness that the doctors cannot understand is
attributed to ‘Bright’s disease,’ and living
cheaply in summer is called ‘going into the
country.’ The nomenclature is different,
but the old things are the same.”
Order for 10,000 Rifles. *
An order for 10,000 of the latest pattern
of military rifles and 5,000,000 rounds of
ammunition has been placed with the
Winchester Repeating Arms company of
New Haven, Conn., through its San Fran-
cisco office, within a few days, the order to
be shipped at the earliest possible moment.
A report, which is without confirmation,
says that the order comes from the Russian
government. The company is known to
have an agent negotiating with that gov-
ernment at present.
——At a meeting of the greater number
of directors of the Young Men’s Christian
Association of Lock Haven, held Friday
evening, a motion was adopted to disband
the organization and close the rooms. This
action was not taken until it became pain-
fully apparent that the energy, activity
and funds necessary to carry on the work
are not forthcoming.
Her Hand Sought By Princes.
Picturesque Career of a Notable American Woman.
Mrs. Southwick Ayer, widow of the
many times millionaire patent medicine
man, who died in- Paris last week, was a
unique and prominent character, much of
her husband’s success was due to her judg-
ment and counsel and when she made up
her mind to do a thing she did it whether
it was to establish a school for artists or
give the most splendid entertainments Par-
is has ever witnessed.
Her first efforts to get into society were
repulsed, and she determined that the mil-
lions made in patent medicines could be
used as a means to gain her end, and she
was eventually successful.
Her hand was always in her pocket for
struggling American artists and singers,
and in the shops she was fleeced right and
left. She was born in Medway, Mass., in
1826, and her maiden name was Josephine
M. Southwick. Her father was a Quaker,
and her mother was a sister of the found-
er of the H. B.Claflin company.
Her parents moved to Lowell, Mass.,
when she was an infant. She knew John C.
Ayer as a child, he being the pioneer in
the patent medicine which grew rapidly.
He died in 1878, leaving a fortune of
$15,000,000 to his widow.
Mrs. Ayer's attempt to enter society in
the United States failed. She had a villa
at Newport and "a cottage at Bar Harbor.
Failing to obtain social recognition she
went to Paris and began to live like royalty
itself. She had a retinue of servants and
employed a densist, who visited her daily.
She had a physician to look after the mem-
bers of the family, while she consulted
specialists, to whom she gave enormous
fees.
She passed hours each day in the hands
of the masseure, the hair dresser, the den-
tist, the physician and the great number
of persons whose business it is to repel age.
She wore the most youthful gowns and her
entertainments became more and more
spectacular.
Society stood out against her for a long
time, until finally her wealth and her en-
tertainments broke down the barriers. At
one time no fewer than three princes were
aspirants for her hand. One of them,
Prince Dalgarouky, had a reputation as a
gamester. Another was Prince Giedroyec.
He is a Russian, a brother of the late Em-
peror’s morganatic wife. The third, Prince
Valori, offered to introduce Mrs. Ayer to
the Spanish Pretender, Don Carlos, and
secure her a social position in the first rank
if she would marry him. She rejected
him, as she did the others. She was not
moved by the glamor of the titles.
Mrs. Ayer had been ill only a few days.
Her sons, Frederick F. and Henry S. Ayer,
and her daughter, Mrs. Frederick Pearson,
live in New York.
Wholesale Pension ‘Frauds.
Forty Thousand Sham “Survivors” and Widows of
Soldiers.
The New York Sun says that 976,014
names are on the pension rolls and that
578,099 persons are petitioning for pensions.
Last year 54,072 new pensioners were rec-
ognized. James G. Blaine estimated the
number of those who actually served in the
war of the rebellion at 2,063,391; ‘of these
304,360 were killed in battle or died of
disease. The United States census in 1890
showed that 1,034,073 soldiers and 145,397
widows of soldiers survived. Since 1890 it
is estimated that 218 546 of these survivors
have died. Making deductions for death,
deserters. and emergency men, 1t appears
that 813,639 survivors or widows of soldiers
are alive to-day-
Of actual survivors of the rebellion it is
estimated that 727,122 might be entitled
to a pension to-day, supposing they one
and all sustained such physical injury from
service as the pension laws cover. But the
pension commissioner’s report shows that
947,542 is the total of pensioners, of which
65,869 are children and 27,559 are depend-
ent fathers, mothers, sisters or brothers.
Deducting these from the total there re-
main 854,114 survivors and widows draw-
ing pensions, or 40,745 more ‘‘survivors
and widows’ than there are actual survi-
vors and widows who under any circum-
stances could legally draw pensions.
The pension rolls show that 733,527 per-
sons are drawing pensians from the govern-
ment as survivors of the war of the rebellion.
That is, 6,405 more ‘‘survivors’’ are draw-
ing pensions than there are actual survivors.
In 1873 the nation’s bounty to pensioners
of the war of the rebellion was $26,502, -
528.96. Last year it was $139,949,717.35.
Here is a table compiled for the pension
roll :

Pullman Twins [Will not Want.
It turns out, according to advices from
-Chicago, that the twin sons of George M.
Pullman, whom the great car magnate cut
off with $3,000 a year, will come into
possession of an additional $18,000 each
per annum as the result of their interest in
the life insurance policies carried by their
father. Mr. Pullman’s two married daugh-
ters also receive $18,000 each and his
widow derives about $25,000.
The Formation of Dew.
A schoolboy was asked to explain the
formation of dew. His answer was : “The
earth revolves on an axis every twenty
four hours, and in consequence of the tre-
mendous pace at which it travels it per-
spires freely.”
Saying Grace.
The difficulties which people who are
unaccustomed to contact with titled per-
sons have in using the ‘‘handles” to the
names of lords and dukesare immense. An
English paper tells of the way in which
one young woman solved a problem of the
sort.
She was an unsophisticated country girl
and had been engaged as housemaid in the
service of the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir.
When she came she was instructed by the
housekeeper :—
‘“Whenever you meet the Duke, Alice,
be sure to say ‘Your Grace.’ ”’
The very next day as the maid was going
down the passage the Duke chanced to
meet her. Immediately the girl drew her-
self close to the wall, closed her eyes and,
assuming a reverential attitude, said :—
‘‘Lord, supply the wants of others and
make us thankful. Amen !”’
HouseHOLD GoDs.—The ancient Greeks
believed that the Penates were the gods
who attended to the welfare and prosperity
of the family. They were worshipped as
household gods in every home. The house-
hold god of to-day is Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery. For consumption, coughs, colds
aud for all affections of Throat, Chest and
Lungs it is invaluable. It has been tried
for a quarter of a century and guaranteed
to care, or money returned. No house-
hold should be without this good angel.
It is pleasant to take and a safe and a sure
remedy for old and young. Free trial
