Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 7, 1902
FARM NOTES.
—Black-cap raspberry patches should be
renewed every three or four years, as the
red rust gradually makes the plants un-
profitable. Make the patch in a new loca-
tion, being careful to procure plants that
are healthy and strong.
— Abandoned farms are evid ences of lack
of skill and industry on the part cf their
former occupants. The fact that some of
these farms have been made profitable dem-
onstrates thas more farms are abandoned
because of inducements in other directions
to individuals who cannot make the farms
pay more than for lack of capacity of the
soil.
—A fungus disease which attacks the
leaves, leaf stalks, fruit stems and canes of
red currants, and known as athracnose, ap-
peared the past season in the Hudson Val-
ley, according to a bulletin issued by the
Geneva experiment station,and it will also
attack black currants and gooseberries.
The remedy is tospray with Bordeaux mix-
ture, making the first application before
growth starts, the second as the leaves are
unfolding, and then at intervals of 10 to 14
days, until the fruit is two thirds grown.
Whenever worms appear add Paris green
to the mixture.
—Most of the so-called lung trouble with
which sheep are said to be affected during
the winter is due to foul quarters, but the
lungs are not affected, though the cough
would lead one to think they were. The
trouble is of a catarrhal nature and is al-
most always accompanied hy a running of
mucous at the nose. Sheep afflicted in the
manner described should be kept in clean,
fairly warm and well-ventilated stables at
night, and the feed should be liberal in
quantity and of the best quality. Separate
the affected animals from the well ones
and feed them crushed oats and bran for
grain, with plenty of roots and hay of good
quality. For the catarrh mix equal parts
of gentian roots, dried sulphate of iron and
powdered ginger and stir a teaspoonful in
the grain food of each sheep daily. For
the discharge in the nostrils use a syringe
freely with water in which about 2 per cent
of chloro naptholenm is placed. This treat-
ment will probably put the animals right
in a short time.
—As a rule, 2-year-old-trees, except
peaches, are the best to set, although with
apple trees, if they are thrifty, 1-year-old
trees are often to be preferred. There will
be many peach orchards set the coming
spring, and a word of advice here from a
veteran peach grower will be found useful.
This man has probably set more than 100,-
000 peach trees, and he invariably buys, or
sets from those he raises, the very largest
trees. Of course, all of them are but one
year old from bud, but the small, whiplike
trees are discarded and only the largest and
strongest growing trees are set. The rea
son for this is that these strong trees are
more vigorous than the smaller ones, hence
will make a better growth the first year,
an important period in their career. Of
cherries, plums and pears a thrirty 2-year-
old tree is best, even though they cost con-
siderably more than the 1-year-old trees.
—Just at present there is considerable
controversy over the feeding of bran to
horses, some writers taking the ground
that when bran is fed at about one-fourth
of the entire grain ration it causes colic
and inflammation of the bowels. Others
say that bran may safely compose one-half
the grain ration without bad effects.
It would seem as if it was one of the
questions that eacl: man who keeps horses
must decide for himself in the light of re-
sults of both plans. In the experience of
the writer it has been found that certain
horses, predisposed to colic, should not be
fed a great deal of bran when oats form the
main-grain ration, but the quantity may
be increased without apparent harm when
corn takes the place of oats largely. It is
presumed that, with some horses, the com-
bination of oats and bran in the stomach
forms a gas which is not present when bran
and corn are fed together. With other
horszs, as stated, it is possible to Teed oats
and bran or bran and corn in equal quan-
tities without bad results.
—I¢t is not the flock that occupies the
costly house or the flock that is petted and
fed on dainties that turns out the eggs dur-
ing the winter. Some of the most success-
ful poultrymen in the country, who raise
eggs during the winter, have houses built
of cheap material and in the plainest man-
ner but these houses are warmand well ven-
tilated and the fowls are fed properly and
cared for properly. The heginner,and with
beginners are included the farmers who
first take up poultry raising as a serious
part of farming, is apt to treat his fowls too
well, and they get over-fat in consequence.
With a warm, well ventilated house and a
scratching shed wherein the fowls may take
the needed exercise, a varied ration of
grain, a fair amount of green food green
cut bone or meat, preferably in the form of
meal, and plenty of grit, with an abun-
dance of clean, fresh water, are the things
needed to bring winter eggs, and of these,
next to the water and the grain food, the
meat food in some form is most essential.
It is not claimed that the hens are certain
to lay well during the winter with the ra-
tion indicated, but simply that it will
bring eggs if it is possible by any human
agency to bring them.
—There is a serious objection on the part
of planters to prune the roots of trees at all
severely before setting them, and yet this
practice, in many cases, is what is needed
for the tree to live at all. It is consider-
able of a shock to a young tree when it is
dug out of the nursery and shipped, perhaps
hundreds of miles to be set in a soil entire-
ly different from that which it occupied
from the planting of the root-graft, and it
must have both top and root shortened to
give it the proper start. .In sections where
drought is more or less prevalent it is a
good plan to root prune the young tree,
with a view to making it as drought-resist-
ing as possible, and to do this the cut in
the root should be obliquely downward,
never upward or straight across. The
downward cut means that the natural
growth of the young rootlets will be down-
ward, instead of in a lateral direction;
hence they can better resist the drought.
This is by no means a new tlieory, but is a
plan practiced by many successful orchard-
ists and one well worth remembering next
spring when trees are to be set. If experi.
ence in heavy soils seems to make other
methods desirable, well and good, but see
that the roots are shortened in some way to
correspond with the pruning of the tops.
With the average thrifty young tree one is
not at all apt to overdo the cutting back
of the tops if they keep in mind the proper
formation of the lead that is to he formed
on the tree.

we ask is that you compare our goods at
the same prices, and let the man with the

we are neighbors and friends, but we would
be glad to have you at least call in and
give us a fair opportunity to convince you
that it is to your best interest to give us
your harness business. We want your har- |

——Judge O'Conner, of Cambria county,
has a somewhat interesting case on his
hands. There is trouble in a church in up-
per Yoder township, of that county, and
the matter has gotten into court, the first
round being fought Wednesday; other
rounds are to follow until the equity pro-
ceeding knocks the stuffing out of one side
or the other. The trouble grew out of the
organization of a Brethren choir to sing at
services at the union chapel at Upper Yoder
township, whereupon the defendants, who
are three or four trustees, locked the doors,
taking the ground that according to the by
laws none but a union choir could furnish
the music. That church certainly should
go out of business until the religion of its
members parta kes somewhat of Christian-
ity.

ORTH $300,000,000.
The President of a certain big Oil Com-
pany is said to be worth $300,000,000. A
tidy bit of money and no mistake. And
yet he isn’t happy. In an address to a
Bible class he spoke of trials and troubles
of the rich and the loads they have to
carry. A young lady whispered to a
friend that he might wear a Benson's
Porous Plaster on his back or, better still,
divide the money among the members of
the class. I don’t know why her idea
about the plaster makes me want to laugh,
but it does All the same I have seen
plenty of people laugh after putting Ben-
son’s Plasters on their backs or chests, or
on any other spot where there was weight,
heaviness, weakness or pain. It may be
the sharp stabs of neuralgia, the aches
and wrenches ot rheumatism ; it may be
colds in muscles or bones; it may be those
kidney or lumbago thrusts that make you
vell asat a dog bite; or it may be a strain
or cramp, anything that wants quieting
and comforting. Don’t bother with salves,
liniments, lotions, etc., or with any of the
stupid and useless old style plasters.
Clap on a Benson's. It relieves at once
cures quickly. It stops the pain and
makes you laugh for the very ease and

I suffered intensely from pains in my

Statements in this paper about Doan’s
Kidney Pills atttractsd my attention and
I called on F. Potts Green, the druggist,
and got a box. They did me a great deal
of good although I did not take them as
regularly as I should, for the moment the

taking them. They gave me the greatest
relief and I can give them the credit of
saving me much suffering.”
