Bemorratic; [atm Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 16, 1900. FARM NOTES. “—Begin plowing for spring as soon as it can be done. It matters not how wet the land is if it can be plowed, as the frost will pulverize all lumps. An advantage in early plowing is that insects will be turn- ed to the surface and he destroyed. Cold does not destroy some insects, but when they are brought to the surface and are ex- posed to dampness and alternate thawing and freezing they succumb. It will be found that soils in which cutworms are numerous may be plowed early with benefit, as the worms will be greatly reduced in number by so doing and the crops be pro- tected to that extent, for frequently the cutworms compel replanting of an entire crop. —Labor can be saved in plowing and the work be done well by properly laying off the plot. A square acre, plowed with a 15-inch furrow, required 84 rounds and 336 turns. The same area in the form of a parallelogram—2 by 80 rods—requires only 13 rounds and 22 turns, thus requir- ing much less time to do the work. The some rule applies to cultivation. The longer the rows the less time required, as there will be fewer turnings at the ends of rows. Itis the turning of the plow or cultivator which causes loss of time, to say nothing of the extra work imposed on the man who is plowing or cultivating. —My method of keeping a few winter squashes is somewhat different from that generally recommended and succeeds so well that I will give it for the benefit of any who may wish to follow it, remarks an American Cultivator correspondent. On the approach of winter, before there is danger of freezing, the squashes are placed in a cupboard in the sitting room, the door being left ajar through the day and closed at night in very cold weather. It will be seen that the temperature of the room is considerably higher than is generally recommended, often reaching 70 degrees. The Hubbard squash has been kept in this way till May. —Usually the garden soil is full of humus, and lime may be used on it to good advantage. Lime is one of those ele- ments of the soil which is essential to the growth of plants and trees, and when it is properly used a vast difference in the growth of the vegetation is noticeable. All farmers and horticulturists use it in many ways, but it is probably as often abused as used. The full and direct effects of lime upon plants under all conditions have not yet been fathomed, but enough knowl- edge concerning its general effect is pos- sessed for one to use it intelligently on many crops. In the vegetable garden lime is invaluable. It is the best preventive and check for mildew on cucumbers and diseases of potatoes. As soon as the cucum- ber vines show signs of the disease, the powdered lime should be sprinkled over every part of the plants that are affected, and the operation repeated after rain so long as there are any signs of the mildew. If one watches the plants early in the spring, and applies the lime as soon as the disease manifests itself, it will never be al- lowed to make much progress, but some- times in the case of plants being nearly dried up with the disease, the lime will give them new life and growth. —How many dairymen appreciate the amount of water their cows need, both to digest their food and to furnish that need- ed for their milk supply? A cow cannot work over her food nor supply milk with- out water, and plenty of it. It takes four pounds or half a gallon of water for every pound of dry matter in the food; this means nearly 100 pounds of water for a cow receiving dry food alone. If the food contains water, as in silage or roots, of course the amount required is less. The Geneva station found that cows in full milk require 4 3-5 pounds of water for every pound of milk. Thus a cow would need in her food and for drinking 92 pounds of water for every 20 pounds of milk. Now, if a cowisina cold barn with cold food and ice water to dri-k, is she going to chill herself with 100 pounds of cold water merely to keep uv her milk flow? The Indiana station found that the milk fell off eight per cent. when the temperature fell from 79 degrees Fahrenheit to 38 degrees Fahrenheit. If she is so sensitive to a com- paratively small reduction in temperature, what may the dairyman expect when the thermometer is ten to twenty below zero ? The man who can’t afford to take time to weigh his milk would save the price of many scales and also prevent many dollars from getting away if he knew a little or a great deal more ahout the animals he is feeding. Feed is high this year, and bran, hay, corn, etc., are high-priced fuels to heat water, cows and stables with. Yet there were many tons used this win- ter for just that purpose, and the users were unanimously of the opinion that ‘‘dairying doesn’t pay.’’ —Glanders in horses and mules are liable to occur at any time, and there have been recent reports of the disease in certain sec- tions. It is ordinarily a fatal disease, only a few cases in man or beast ever having recovered. It is such a dangerous disease that treatment is too full of risk and too uncertain to be warranted. The pronounced symptoms are tubercles on membrane of the nasal passage, and, when these break down, there is a discharge of pus from one nostril and a swelling under the lower jaw. This swelling is usually about the size of « walnut, is tender to the touch, and not very firmly connected. The disease in some horses does not make rapid progress, but remains stationary, giving no evidence of being dangerous. But such cases are exceedingly dangerous and are often the cause of spreading the disease broadcast. Horses have been known to have glanders in a mild form for a long time, to keep in good order and work right along, the real trouble never being sus- pected. In advanced stages of the disease sores may appear on the surface of the body. These are stubborn, discharge pus and can not be healed. Farcy, which is caused by the same germ, in indicated by farcy buds —swellings on the skin, usually on the legs—which break and discharge freely. The legs swell and become a mass of sores. Animals that even slightly show any of these symptoms should be immediately isolated until the character of the disease is determined. If it is glanders, kill the animal at once, and wash the stables and everything with which the horse has come in contact with a solution composed of one ounce of corrosive sublimate in two gal- lons of water. Wash several times at in- tervals of two or three days.— Agricultural Epitomist. ——Suberibe for the WATCHMAN. Washington’s Cronology. Year.

Munday, a lawyer of Henrietta, Tex., once fooled a grave-digger. He says: ‘My brother was very low with malarial fever and jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric Bitters, and he was soon much better, but continued their use until he was wholly cured. Iam sure Electric Bitters saved his life.”” This remedy expels malaria, kills disease germs and purifies the blood; aids digestion, regu- lates liver, kidneys and bowels, cures con- stipation, dyspepsia, nervous diseases, kid- ney troubles, female complaints; gives per- fect health.

It means ultimately a hen so fat that she will uot be good for laying and will be of little use for the table. The writer does not remember ever having seen an excessively fat hen reduced in fat to such an extent that she went to laying again. Practically a hen once fattened goes out of the egg-producing business. Old hens have 2 tendency to get fat and they especially must be kept away from corn in unlimited supply. Florida.
