Bellefonte, Pa., May 27, 1898. FARM NOTES. —The slightest degree of filth in a milk can will injure the milk, and it is possible to have portions of the former milk con- tained in the can to be left over, despite the greatest care. —Milk being a liquid is not considered as valuable as some foods, but there are 12 pounds of solid matter in 100 pounds of milk, these solids being composed of all the substances entering into human foods. —The larger the top on a tree or bush, the greater the amount of plant food that must be supplied from the roots the greater the work to perform. When transplanting trees or vines the tops should be cut off as much as possible consistent with the capac- ity of the roots. —A tree that has been carefully trimmed and relieved of all useless wood can be more easily sprayed than one that has re- ceived no attention. This fact should not be overlooked, as not only will a tree be benefited if properly pruned, but there will be a saving of labor in spraying. —A pound of comb is said to cost the bees ten pounds of honey. This is one reason for always supplying comb founda- tion. It brings to the owner of hees double its cost in honey, besides securing straight combs and doing away with an overproduction of drone comb. Ground grain will be better digested if mixed with fine-cut hay then when fed alone. When hay and grain are mixed there is a division of the ground grain, which prevents it from packing in the stomach. The animal will also prefer the mixed ration to one that is single. —A writer in the New York Tribune has no doubt that bad air in stables is almost wholly responsible for the tuberculosis plague, and that reform in this line is the only cure. The modern model stable, so called, is usually a model of deformity, a suffocation box, a model tuberculosis nur- sery. —There should be no hesitency on the part of the farmer in cutting down a tree that is blighted, as the sooner: it is done the less the liability of disease appearing in other trees of the orchard. To allow a tree to remain in order to save it by the appli- cation of some remedy is to incur a risk. Every portion of a diseased tree should be consigned to the flames. —Contrary to all former notions in re- gard to duck raising, the thousands and tens of thousands of Peking ducks that are annually marketed in New York, Philadel- phia and Boston, from New Jersey to the coast of Maine, never saw water only in drinking troughs. They grow much faster when kept out of the water, and if fed properly will average at ten weeks of age ten pounds per pair. —Some crops, like the grains, exhaust the humus in the soil. Other crops, like the clovers, replenish the humus in the soil. A good rotation of crops that takes out humus and puts back humus will keep the humus in fair supply and render the land suitable for cultural operations for all time to come, or for so long a time as the proper treatment is continued. The striped bug which destroys cucum- ber vines may be destroyed by plac- ing a tight box over the vines (such as a cheese box, ) and pouring a teaspoon- ful of bisulphide of carbon on the ground. Allow the box to remain over the vines half an hour. The substance is very vola- tive, hence fire must be avoided id its use. Tobacco dust around the vines is also ex- cellent. —1It is not safe to manure potato ground heavily for late crop of potatoes. After midsummer it will surely make them rot if there is any wet weather. The early po- totoes are off the land so early that the land cannot easily be made too rich for them. Ii commercial manures are used on the potatoes they should not be put in con- tact with the seed. Most mineral manures, either acid or alkaline, are caustic and eat into the cut surfaces of the potatoes. —Samuel Cushman says: You mark your turkeys so that you can identify them by clipping off one or more of their nails or tips of their toes as soon as they are hatch- ed. Many different brands or marks may be made by this means. When mature turkeys thus marked are stolen and dressed they may be identified if found, as the mark cannot be changed without showing the fresh mutilation. In some towns each raiser registers his turkey marks at the town clerk’s office as he does the brand of his sheep or cattle. : In his annual address President Good- rich, of the Illinois Horticultural Society, remarked that it was a strange fact that many men place fruit on the list of luxur- ies and tobacco and cigars on the list of necessities. In reference to the treatment of the orchard after it begins to fruit he considered it a good plan to put in the hogs when the apples begin to fall, for they will eat the fallen apples as fast as they fall and thus destroy the worms contained in them. He called attention to the fact that Califor- nia fruit grown on the irrigated areas is coming more and more into. competition with our fruit in the eastern markets. —In summer the churning should be done at as low temperature as will permit the cream to form butter at the least cost time and labor. The temperature ranges from 55 to 65 degrees, according to condi- tions. When the cream is mostly oily, as in summer the temperature is hetter, while in winter the higher temperature may he an advantage. There is no exact tempera- ture for churning, as cream varies and on- ly observation will enable one to arrive at a full understanding of the requirements. Use a thermometer and in afew days much will have been accomplished in learning the proper temperature. — Apparent perfection is claimed for the Cotswold breed of sheep. They are as long wooled and curly as poodles. Breed- ers have been improving the Catswold for eight centuries at least. It was introduced from Spain into England in the twelfth century, and for several hundred years guarded and confined to England by royal decree. The Breeder's Gazette says the fleece of a modern Cotswold ram frequently weighs as much as eighteen pounds, and that of an ewe eleven to sixteen pounds. The wool is much finer than it was origin- ally, and the sheep heavier, a large animal of this breed occasionally tipping the heam at 350 pounds. Owing to the heavy fleece Cotswolds need to be well protected from wet and storms. -—Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. About Puerto Rico. One of the important questions demand- ing attention is the disposition of the island of Puerto Rico. The healthiest of the An- tilles and admirably adapted by its strat- egic position for an outlying naval station, it is more than probable that its acquisition by the United States will be discussed as the wisest settlement of the troubles of the island. : The Spanish minister to the United States, Senor de Lome, was fond of citing Puerto Rico, now Spain’s last possession in America, in evidence of the blessing and content-producing properties of Spanish rule. t But it is neither because its people have been happy under the Spanish yoke, nor yet because they have not made desperate efforts to throw it off, that Puerto Rico is still a dependency of Spain. The Puerto Ricans have long desired freedom with an augmenting keenness and, furthermore, nine-tenths of them wish to become citizens of the United States. In his vague references to law-abiding and contented Puerto Rico, the Spanish diplomat was careful not to go into a de- tailed history of the island, much less to give an accurate account of the blessings showered upon it by a horde of greedy Spanish officeholders. Puerto Rico has been held by the Span- ish crown since the days of Ponce de Leon, who was so delighted with its loveliness that he sought there the fountain of youth, for which the island seems a fitting location. The mismanagement of an English expe- dition under Abeicromby, rather than the loyalty of the inhabitants, saved the island to Spain in the eighteenth century, and a standing army has preserved it for her during the nineteenth. As early as 1820 the Puerto Ricans at- tempted to gain their independence. This was years before Cuba had been fired by the touch of liberty. Indeed, at about this time the Cubans were taking oaths of eter- nal allegiance to the legitimate Spanish dynasty, which they alone supported when Napoleon had overrun Spain. This first rebellion was put down after a short guer- rilla war. Several abortive attempts to drive the Spaniards from the island fol- lowed toward the middle of the century. But they served only as a sign of the dis- content in the Learts of the people. It was in 1865, the year of the great uprising in Cuba, that the most formidable outbreak in Puerto Rico occurred. It is significant of Spain’s treatment of her colonies that the leaders of the contemporaneous rebel- lions knew nothing of the intentions of the patriots on the sister island. In Puerto Rico preparations were made for a great, simultaneous rush to arms. The Spanish government was so universally detested that the prospective insurgents included a large proportion of the people. In fact, it was the number of versons in the secret that proved fatal to the plot and led to its exposure by traitors. As aresult it was necessary that the insurrection take place several weeks before the patriots were prepared. After two months’ fighting the Spanish regulars were victorious, and the leader of the rebels, Dr. Ramon E. Betances, now of Paris, was captured, as was also J. J. Henna, since a New York physician, then a young Puerto Rican eighteen years of age. All prisoners were sentenced to be shot on Nov. 4th, 1868. On Nov. 3rd, news reached the island of the overthrow of Queen Isabella, and political prisoners were pardoned. Later they were banished. These exiles, dwelling in many different countries, have formed the centers of active movements for the freeing of Puerto Rico that have culminated in a powerful organ- ization. known as the Puerto Rico section of the revolutionary party of Cuba. The first article of the statement of prin- ciples of the Cuban revolutionary party, written by Jose Marti, declared that fo- menting revolution in Puerto Rico and helping the Puerto Ricans to their inde- pendence should be an object co-ordinate with Cuba’s freedom. This led to the organization of the Puerto Ricans as a part of the Cuban party. Na- tives of Puerto Rico in and out of the country are hard at work for the independ- ence of the island. Votes were recently taken for officers of the section. and the hero of the rising in 1868, Dr. Ramon E. Betances, was elected delegate-general. Dr. J. J. Henna is the president and the head of the movement in America. The other directors of the section are: Senores J. de M. Terreforte, Manuel Besosa, and R. H. Todd, all of New York. Mr. Todd is the secretary. The size of the island is about 100x37 miles, and its population has reached nearly 1,000,000. The Spanish province includes two islands to the east, one of which, Vieque, is as large as the Danish island of St. Croix that the United States contem- plated purchasing. There are two fine old cities in Puerto Rico—St. John’s, the capital and principal port, and Ponce, the largest city, several miles inland. The coast is dented into five ports of entry, where there are towns. The vegetation of the island is exuberant even for the West Indies, and the products include all the fruits and woods of the tropics. Sugar, coffee and tobacco are the staples. The value of the exports, which are increasing constantly, was more than $10,000,000 in 1890. This is far in excess of the value of exports of any island about the Caribbean except Cnba. Puerto Rico’s mineral wealth includes rich deposits of gold, iron, copper, coal and salt. Only the salt beds are worked. Animal life is abundant and varied. Huge herds of excellent cattle swarm over the lowland plains, and in the more tem- perate mountain districts the celebrated Puerto Rican horses are bred. All things considered, no spot on the globe is better equipped by nature to support a happy and industrious population. The people themselves are superior in blood an industry to those of any island in the West Indies, Cuba not excepted. Of a population of 800,000 in 1890 nearly 500,- 000 were whites of unmixed bloed, and but 77,000 were negroes or mulattoes. Of the ““mixed’’ population quite 300,000 are the Jebaros, an uncommon people said to be of Spanish stock with drops of the native blood in them. They are small farmers and laborers. The race is a fine one, show- ing the regular features and small feet of the Europeans. The Jebaros are revolu- tionists to a man. Nature has done more for Puerto Rico than any little island could expect of her. The people have the qualities of an indus- trious and highly-civilized race, yet the island’s resourses remain mostly undevel- oped, and of 750,000 of white and Jebaro inhabitants less than 100,000 can read and write. The Puerto Ricans have no voice in their government, as it is directly controlled by the Spanish Cortes, in which the represen- tatives of Puerto Rico wield no influence. There is no vestige of local self-government. The situation is aggravated by the un- written but nevertheless unbroken rule that no native of the island shall hold an official position. The ‘‘peninsulars’’ as the Spaaiards are ealled, occupy every judicial as well as military post. Their number, including the soldiery, is somewhat under 35,000, and almost all of them are support- ed from the pocket of the native Puerto Ricans. These alien office-holders drain the col- ony of its public money. Their domineer- ing manner and high-handed actions have brought upon them the hatred of the na- tives. They come to the province with the single object of making money, and their venality has corrupted the public service to such an extent that bribery is now nec- essary in procuring a decision in every court of justice. The taxes which are burdensome, are raised by duties on exports as well as im- ports, and by a series of petty personal taxes such as none but a spiritless people would willingly stand. These include stamped paper, a toll on railroad passen- gers and freight, and even on the consump- tion of food. The total revenue collected in a year from this little island is $3,947,- 875. Of this $3,297,255 goes directly for maintaining the standing army and navy, whose sole purpose is to keep in subjection the people who support them. Of the re- maining $650,000 but a small share is de- voted to public purposes that will benefit the people of the island, as the largest por- tion goes to employes of the public works, all of whom are Spaniards. The regular military force in Puerto Rico under the command of the captain- general numbers 4,500 men, including two batteries of artillery and two squadrons of cavalry. They are well armed and disci- plined, and were recruited in Spain. There is also a corps of 500 police and fourteen battalions of volunteers, containing about 6,000 men. The volunteersare not natives of the island. Since the last uprising, when a battalion of Puerto Ricans went over to the insurgents, the natives have not been called upon to serve. The naval station consists of two small gunboats with rapid-firing guns. The fortifications of the island, while impotent before modern ironclads serve as formidable obstacles to a revolution. At St. John’s there are three fortifications on whose bastions are mounted some ancient cannon and sixteen Krupp guns of four and six caliber. These defenses have been strengthened during the last few weeks, but Morro Castle, which guards the en- trance to the harbor, is an old stone and plaster building, no stronger than it was a century ago. In Ponce and Mayaguez there are old batteries, while small forts to overawe the populace stand at frequent in- tervals along all highways- It is not to be wondered that the people of Puerto Rico, carrying, like Sinbad, the weight of a Spanish old-man-of-the-sea, have little surplus energy ‘to expend in in- tellectual or commercial activity.—Chicago Daily News. Class of George Dewey. Of His Annapolis Companions but Five are in the Navy. It was 44 years ago tkat Rear Admiral Geo. Dewey entered the naval academy with 71 other boys, each anxious to he a naval officer. The members of his class represented only 31 States of the Union. The “Army and Navy Journal’’ says of Dewey’s class. “Before the termination of the four years’ course at the academy 49 of these novitiate officers had resigned and one had been dismissed. Only 22 of the class re- mained to graduate and receive their first commissions as officers of the navy. Soon after six others resigned and before they had advanced a single grade in rank. One resigned later on, two were killed in bat- tle, and three others died. When our war with Spain opened seven of these officers remained in the navy, and two of these, Allen V. Reed and Joshua Bishop, were and are still on the retired list of the navy. The five officers on the active list are Com- modore John A. Howell, the inventor of the torpedo that bears his name and now commanding the Northern patrol squadron; Commodore Henry L. Howison, Commodore Albert Kautz, Commodore Norman H. Farquhar, and Admiral Geo. Dewey. “By such process of evolution and se- lection it is that we obtain our heroes. The foundation for the victory at Manila was laid in the section room at the acad- emy ; in the experience gained in lonely watches at sea ; in the crash of battle at New Orleans under Farragut, and in the sincere discharge of the multifarious duties of the faithful officer during long and weary years. It is only thus that such results can be obtained ; yet there are men foolish enough to imagine that we need no pre- paration for war, or, at least, who talk and legislate as if they so believed.” Cuba to Be Invaded at Once. Invasion to Occur In Spite of Spain’s Dodging Fleet.— The Movement Will Be 8o Secret That Blanco Will Know Nothing Until Troops Appear. WASHINGTON, May 22. — No possible contingency can now arise, according to the war department officials, to prevent an in- vasion of Cuba during the present week. Those in direct control of affairs insist that climatic conditions will have to be ignored, and they can see no other reason for further delay. Iam told that a few weeks ago the entire army which is to go to Cuba had only 10,000,000 rounds of cartridges at its disposal = This amount of ammunition, con- sidering the size of the army, will be suf- ficient to carry on a long campaign. At the present time, however, thearmy is well supplied with both arms and ammunition. It is believed in the navy department that Admiral Cervera’s fleet will be either completely destroyed or driven away from Cuban waters within the next week. Sec- retary Alger, going upon this theory, is making every preparation to have about 70,000 men ready to leave Key West for Cuba upon short notice. I understand from the best authority that if the Ameri- can fleet does not meet the fleet of Admiral Cervera within the next seven days the ad- ministration will no longer delay the army of invasion. The greatest secrecy is to he maintained in the war department when it is decided to make the move against Cuba. The gov- ernment wishes to feel assnred that the first intimation that Spain will have of troops leaving Key West will be when Gen. Blanco sees the Americans on Cuban soil. Iknow that Secretary Alger and Secretary Long have agreed in regard to the convoys that will accompany the transports carrying the troops. Admiral Cervera’s action in permitting the battleship Oregon to reinforce Rear Admiral Samson’s squadron without at- tempting her destruction L.s aroused a great deal of curiosity and not a little anxiety as to what his plan of campaign really is. The authorities do not believe that Spain will send her home squadron to the Philip- pines. The sailing orders which it is said it received require it to come west, it is believed, and join forces with Admiral Cervera’s fleet if this be true, then the of- ficials expect that Admiral Cervera will carry on a waiting policy, avoiding battle with the armorclads of this government, as he can do in view of the speed of his ships, preventing the dispatch of an army of in- vasion by menancing the troopships, and appearing at points where necessity will compel the dispatch of armorclads. and playing in general a hide-and-seek game until he is reinforced. So far as officials can learn, the only ef- fective reinforcements he can expect are the battleship Pelayo, the armored cruiser Carlos V., the protected cruiser Alfonso XIII., and torpedo boat destroyers Audaux and Proserpina. On account of the incon- venience or convoying torpedo boats, those in Spanish waters will probably be retained, with the second-class battleships Vittoria and Numancia, for the protection of the coast.—Jaimes Gordon Bennett. Help for the Wounded. How to Stop Hemorrhages.— the Blood Vessels, Cuts and Rough Lacerations—The Way to Work Expeditiously and Effectively. The fourth lecture in the course (to those who have offered their services as war nurses to the Red Cross Society, was on ‘Blood Vessels and Hemorrhages,” a sub- ject with which the ‘‘aid’”’ must be famil- iar if wounds are to be treated. Blood it- self was first dwelt upon, as our nutritive fluid, as supplying oxygen and heat, and also as carrying off waste. As for the cor- puscles, the red ones are the smaller, one thirty-five thousandth of an inch in diame- ter, in fact. What they lack in size they make up in numbers, there being 50,000,- 000 of them, enough to girdle the earth four times. The white ones are slightly larger and less numerous, and pose as fighters. They’re nurses in miniature, in- deed, for even they fight the deadly germ— give up their little lives right bravely, too. The dead of this microscopic battlefield we call pus. All listeners were interested in learning that the bluish red (venous) blood turned red as it met the air for the very same reason that it does in the lungs, purification. THE HEART. Our circulation, it seems shows our con- dition just exactly as that of a newspaper shows its condition. The heart is the cen- tral power station ; and—elocutionists to the contrary notwithstanding—this valu- able organ is in the centre, simply inclin- ing a bit to the left. Sad to relate, men have the largest hearts by two ounces, the masculine organ weighing eleven ounces. Let us hope the quality of the feminine heart more than makes up the disparity. The impure blood enters at the right and having gone to the lungs returns, and makes exit at the left side ; veins lead to the heart and arteries from it. There are 60 to 80 pulsations a minute. The capil- laries as far as the present class are con- sidered are not of much importance. All veins have valves save those in the brain, the chest and the abdomen. Hence vari- cose veins occur only in the limbs. HEMORRHAGE. Hemorrhage is simply an escaping of blood from the body. Blood from an artery spurts. If you're too late to see that, note if it is sprinkled about, as this amounts to the same thing. If it is smeared and of a darker, bluer tint, it is venous blood. Blood from a capillary simply oozes, comes out all over the wound and is dark red. Hemorrhages are ar- rested by both natural and artificial means. That of a vein stops easily, because it col- lapses, while the air alone will stop that of capillary. Tears are better than clean cuts ; and even the fainting of the patient assists, as less blood is pumped and it clots more easily. Of the artificial aids pressure is the most important. Use the thumb preferably, either at the wound or along the course of the artery toward the heart. During this time someone else must be pre- paring a compress to be placed either on the wound or above. A cartridge, a potato, even a big knot in a bandage or rope should be placed on the artery and tied, when a cane, bayonet or the like is stuck through and twisted, till it is tight, when it is tied to the limb. This is the tourni- quet, or Spanish windlass, as we now pre- fer to call it. Of course, a suspender, or the like does. GOOD TO REMEMBER. A good point to remember is that most men who die on a battlefield, or in ordin- ary crowds, die of hemorrhage. While we have about one and one-half gallons of blood in the body, it being about one-tenth the weight, it is estimated that only about three pints may be lost. Heat and cold are useful—hot water or ice—for stopping a flow from the capillaries. Patent medi- cines for this purpose were discouraged, as most of them injure the tissues. While alcohol and turpentine are painful, they are helpful, though alum was ranked as the best styptic. Haste may make waste in some cases, but with a hemorrage the lack of it means death to the sufferer as a usual thing. LOCATION. Proceedings were demonstrated on a small boy. If the wound is on top of the head, simply press it until the bandage can be put on. If it’s in the temple, press the carotid artery—the carotid on the side of the wound. Not both, in pity’s name, or the patient dies. To stop a hemorrhage of the arm, press (even dig), right behind the middle of the collar bone. A surgeon ought to attend to the aided ones in ten hours. To stop a bad hemorrhage of the leg press the thumb over a point two inches below where the bigartery passes out of the abdominal cavity at the middle of the groin. In every case the clothing should be cut away, cut up the outside of the limb. For a varicose vein in the leg bandage the leg from the foot to the knee. Plenty for young nurses to study, eh ? Rank in the Army. The highest grade in the Federal navy at present is that of Rear Admiral. The rank of Vice Admiral was created by Con- gress in 1864 and bestowed upon David G. Farragut. On July 25th, 1866, the rank of Admiral was given to Farragut and on the same day David D. Porter was made vice admiral. Admiral Farragut died in 1870, and Vice Admiral Porter became ad- miral. Upon the death of Admiral Porter, in 1891, the rank of admiral and vice ad- miral became extinct, leaving the grade of rear admiral the highest in our navy. It is highly probable that both of the ex- tinct grades will be re-created during or at the close of the war and the number of real admiralships will be further increased to give proper recognition to commanders who shall have displayed exceptional skill and prowess, says the Philadelphia Record. in the present exultant mood of the Amer- ican people the country over it is safe to say that they will regard any distinction which may be hereafter conferred upon Admiral Dewey as brilliantly deserved ; but we must wait until the war is over before we can apportion all the honors won. Cuba Must Have Freedom. The Insurgents Urged by President Masso to Pre- pare for a Decisive Blow Againt Spain. The text of a proclamation issued by Bar- tolome Masso, president of the Cuban re- public, has reached Tampa Fla. Masso strongly urges the autonomists, guerrillas and Cubans leaning toward Spain to come over to the Cuban ranks.” He assures them that, with the aid of the United States troops. a decisive blow to Spain is soon to be struck and that the Cuban cause will soon be won. He points out that all who fail to join the Cuban forces before it shall be too late must seek a home in some other country. Kingston, Jamaica, May 22.—Senor Dom- ingo Mendez Capote, vice president of the Cuban republic, with three companions, arrived on Friday at Falmouth, Jamaica, in a small boat from Santa Cruz, Cuba. Senor Capote goes to Washington to com- municate to President McKinley the views of the Cuban government. He said that the Cubans were thankful for the resolution of the United States to free them from Spain, but when the war was ended they wonld insist on obsolute independence in their own affairs. He added that the Cuban commanders are waiting some definite step by the American army and that if they were given arms and supplies they could clear the Spaniards out of Cuba. The Charleston Sails. Big Cruiser Passes Through the Golden Gate for Manila. The Charleston is well on her way to Manila. The big cruiser passed through the Golden Gate at San Francisco at 8:20 Sunday morning, after having been an- chored in the stream all night. She ad- justed her compasses at an early hour and then passed up the bay through the Rac- coon Straits and passed the docks on the northern frontage of the city. Every steam vessel in the harbor blew an au re- voir to Captain Glass and the crew. None of the forts in the harbor saluted the vessel but the demonstration made hy the 6,000 soldiers gathered at the Presidio was tre- mendous. When the vessel was sighted coming down the bay the soldiers gathered on the beach to bid her bon voyage. They lined the beach for a mile and cheer upon cheer rang out from the men who-are to soon fol- low the Charleston to the scene of admiral Dewey’s triumph. The Charleston’s big siren answered the boys on the beach time and again. The whistling was heard from one end of the city to the other. The Oregon’s Great Record. After a 13,000-Mile Journey She Needs no Re- pairs at All The navy department is proud of the rec- ord made by the Oregon from an engineer- ing point of view. The reports to the de- partment from the ship show that she does not need five cents worth of repairs to her machinery after her 13,000 miles of contin- uous run. The record issaid never to have been equaled since the building of the first iron warship. The Buffalo, which comes with the Oregon from Brazil, is to he over- hauled at Newport News, furnished with armor, given a good battery of five-inch guns, and, altogether, made a very effec- tive modern cruiser. This will take about two months. ——Clearfield Monitor : Work on the ex- ‘tension of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts- burg railroad toward Butler is progressing rapidly. The grading on the first eleven miles will be ready for the rails within a month all except the tunnel which it is ex- pected will be finished by January 1st. Preparations to attack the second contract, secured by A. E. Patton, are going rapidly forward and as soon as the grading on the first section is completed several of the con- tractors will move their men and outfits on to the next job. As an exhibition of rapid modern railway building, the work is well worth visiting, and it reflects great credit upon all concerned. New Advertisements. WALL PAPER. _.
