FARM NOTES.
—Currant bushes should be sprayed with
white hellebore in order to destroy the cur-
rant worm. As helleboro is a poison some
growers object to it. It is claimed that if
wood ashes are dusted over the bushes, first
spraving with cold water, the worms will
be destroyed. It is at least a harmless
remedy and is worthy a test trial by those
having currant bushes.
—The Canadian experimental farm au-
thorities have issued a report by Professor
Frank T. Shutt, chemist at the farm, npon
the character and causes of soft pork. Soft-
ness in pork is a serious defect, and so the
question is of great importance to the Cana-
dian bacon industry. Prof. Shutt sam-
marizes the result of his experiments as
follows :
First.—That of all the grain rations em-
ployed that consisting of equal parts of
oats, peas and barley gave the firmest pork.
It may further be added that the fat was
deposited evenly and not too thickly and
that this ration gave a very thrifty growth.
Second.—That no difference could be ob-
served in the firmness of the pork from the
preceding ration whether fed soaked or
dry.
Third. —That when half the grain ration
consists of cornmeal the resulting pork
shows an increased percentage of olein—in
other words, a tendency to softness.
Fourth.—That in this ration (half corn-
meal, haif oats, peas and barley in equal
parts) the feeding of it boiled gave aslight-
ly higher olein content, but this is only ap-
parent when the average from the four pens
is taken in consideration.
Fifth.—That, considering the effect of
feeding the ration of oats, peas and barley
during the first period to a live weight of a
hundred pounds and cornmeal during the
finishing period, compared with the reverse
of this plan—that is, corn first, followed
with oats, peas and barley—we may con-
clude that the former gives a firmer pork.
Sixth.-—That in both methods mentioned
in the preceding paragraph no marked dif-
ference was to be observed from the ration
fed dry or previously soaked, though tak-
ing an average of the two groups on each
ration the ‘‘dry’’ feed gave a somewhat
higher olein content.
Seventh.—As when cornmeal formed half
the first period ration and the whole of the
second period ration, the resulting pork
was somewhat softer than from that of any
of the rations already discussed. We con-
clude that the longer the period during
which the corn is fed asa large propoition
of the ration the softer will be the pork.
Eizhth.—That beans produce a soft and
inferior pork. The growth of the pigs so
fed was poor and miserable and the deposi-
tion of the fat meager.
" Ninth.—That cornmeal fed exclusively
as the grain ration, eitherdry or previously
soaked, results in an extremely soft fat, the
percentage of olein being considerably high-
er than from any other ration tested. The
pork was of an inferior quality. Here also
we noted the miserable growth of the ani-
mals, the ration in no sense being an eco-
nomical one. “
—As soon as the early cabbages begin to
make headway they will he attacked hy
the white butterfly. Some growers use
paris green as a remedy, but. it is a danger- |
ous article in the hands of inexperienced
persons for such a purpose. The safest
remedy is to mix a pound of the ground
leaves of pyrethrum (insect powder) with
100 gallons of water and sprinkle from a
watering pot. It kills everv worm with
which it comes in contact.
—White hreeds of fowls are very popular
with some because of being more easily
bred true to color. The white Wyandottes
and white Plymouth Rocks are popular
white breeds, and to the inexperienced ean-
not be distingnished from each other. The
former has the 10se comb and the latter the
singlecomb. They also differ somewhat in
shape, and both breeds are what may be
termed ‘‘medium’’ in size. They are ex-
cellent layers, and also have yellow legs,
which places them in the list of desirable
market fowls. Breeds with white plumage
are more easily dressed for market than
other kinds as the pin feathers do not dis-
figure the carcasses. tien
Bellwood Man wis Strangled.
As Mr. Glasgow was Adjusting the Machirery,
He was Caught by a Belt Around the Neck and
Carried to a Wheel at the Upper Floor, in
Which Position He was Found.
Jacob J. Glasgow, a well known con-
tractor of Bellwood, was found dead in the
saw mill on the farm of his father, James
P. Glasgow, one mile west of : Bellwood,
Thursday evening at 6:30 o'clock. Mr.
Glasgow had been working in the mill dar-
ing the afternoon, adjusting the machin-.
ery preparatory to putting, in a lath mill,
and, about 6 o'clock, his sister went to cali
him for supper. Not finding him and get-
ting no response to her calls, she returned
to the house. The hired man was then
sent out to look for him, and, upon going
into the basement of the mill, was horror-
stricken to find Mr. Glasgow suspended
from the ceiling by the neck in the belt-
mg. Hin

Jacob T. Glasgow was one of
wood’s most prominent citizens and busi-
ness men. He was a fine mechanic and
had been engaged in contracting for a
number of years. He was 49 years old
and his wife having died about a year ago,
he had resided most of the time since then
with his parents en the farm. . ¥
He served for some. tine as a member of
the borough council and as superintendent
of the Bellwood water works. In politics
he was a Democrat and was conspicuous in
the conncils of his paity.

One Hundred Years of Church
The Story of Methodism in Centre Comty.
Work--The Early Day Struggles
of the Church that is Now Entertaining the Central
Pennsylvania Methodist Conference.
At this, the third conference held in Bellefonte within a little more than a decade,
the question is frequently heard : ‘‘Why has Bellefonte had three conferences in such a
short time while such large cities as Altoona, Harrisburg and Williamsport have enter-
tained it less??? It is a most natural gnestion too, but we need not look far for a satis-
factory answer.
vention place there is another and greater reason.
Aside from Dcilefonie’s noted hospitality and pleasantuess as a con-
Only two years after the Methodist
Episcopal chureh became a separate and distinet denomination in this country the pio-
neer circuit riders found a warm welcome
amoung the settlers of Centre. As early as
1787 their missions began and from that day to this the work of Methodism has pro-
gressed.
And that is the primary reason that the great executive body of the church
finds an atmosphere here that bas been permeated with Wesleyism almost since the first
white man lived in it and for that reason we take this opportuniiy to make you better
acquainted with the history of the church
John Blair Linn, historian.
The growth and spread of the Methodist
Episcopal church is wonderful, and should
be contemplated with devout thankfulness
to the Great Head of the Church. Using
the exact language of Rev. John Wesley :
“The first Methodist society came together
in England in the latter end of the year
1739,” we add that twenty-seven years |
afterward (1766), the first Methodist so-
ciety was formed in New York; and with-
in the half century its primitive forms of
worship were responded to, and the never
dying hymns of Charles and John Wesley
rang up from the foot hills of the Allegheny
mountains.
In the United States, in July, 1787, the
answer to the question ‘‘what numbers are
there in the society ?”’ was twenty-five
thousand eight hundred and forty-two, and
one hundred and thirty-three preachers.
There were not then many more than sixty
chapels, nearly all of them exceedingly
small and plain. In this year of grace,
1902, the number of communicants belong-
ing to the branches of this old vine is four
millions, five hundred and thirty-two
thousand, six hundred and fifty-eight; the
number of preachers twenty-nine thousand
four hundred and ninety-three, (four thous-
and six hundred and fifty-one more preach-
ers now than there were actual members a
century ago), and the number of churches
is forty-seven thousand, three hundred and.
two. ~ Just think of it ! The sub-divisions
of the Methodist church in the United
States embrace, as members and adherents,
undoubtedly more than one-tenth of the
population of this great Republic.
Rev. John Wesley’s letter announcing
the appointment of ‘Dr. Thomas Coke and
Francis Asbury, to be joint Superinten-
tends ‘‘over our brethren in America,’’ is
dated at Bristol, England, September 10th,
1784, and in the year 1785, in the United
States, the preachers whe had assembled
annually for Conference since the year
1773, resolved unanimously that circam-
stances made it expedient for them to be-
come a separate body under the denomina-
tion of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Two years afterward, in the first. week of
July, 1787, Philip Antes moved into Bald
Eagle Valley, to the site of the present Iron
Works of the Messrs. Curtin, and. there
made a home and a preaching place for the
pioneer circuit riders of the Methodist
Episcopal church. * I have the autharity of
a grand-daughter of Philip Antes, the wife
of my veneiable friend, Rev. Alem Brit-
tain, for the statement, that the old pioueer
of the church moved his family and effects
in two ca:ioes, lashed together,up the river
to the mouth of the Bald Eagle Creek, and
thence up the Creek to his early home.
The ‘‘home-makers’’ of that day were too
busy to keep records; but it is uncon:
tradicted tradition that the first class was
formed there as soon as Mr. Antes had a
roof on hiscabin. The first mill was erect-
ed in the summer of 1787, and preaching
was held there regularly, on the arrival of
a preacher, until the year 1806, when the
first chapel was erected at that place.
And who was Philip Antes? The earn-
est, self-sacrificing, pious pioneer, who laid
the foundation of the Methodist Episcopal
church in Central Pennsylvania! Here
comes in a story of the priceless. value of
the legacy of a pious ancestry. He wasa
grandson of Henry Antes, well-known in
the annals of Pennsylvania church history
as the ‘‘pious German Reformed layman of
Frederick township.’ >
Philip Antes was born at Falckuer
Swamp, now Frederick township ( Mout-
gomery county), the hive of the German
Reformed church in Pennsylvania, August
26th, 1759. His father, Henry Antes, re-
moved to Nippenose Creek (near Jersey
Shore Station, P. & E. railroad) as early as
1776, where he built a fort and erected a
mill. His name is prominent in the history
of the West Branch Valley, and he was
Sheriff of Northumberland county in 1782.
But the pious benediction of the ‘‘old lay-
man’’ when Henry was born, ‘‘the dear
Saviour preserve him to eternal life,”’ and
his missionary spirit seems to have in after
vears fluttered down upon the grandchild
of Philip. ~ + k ¢
‘Philip Antes was married Feb. 21st,1780,
in what is now Dauphin county,to Susanna
Williams, who proved a noble helpmate to
the. pioneer Methodist. Four children
were born to them before their removal to
Bald Eagle, of whom the eldest, Frederick,
lived and died on the farm near Eagle
| (Curtin’s) . ‘orks. Four children were
born in Bald agle Valley; of the latter,
= John Patton, senior, and
| John Patton, reached
nd year, with: mind and
red. Of the Antes family,
if nth be said, .i’there was a
heart in themr that they would fear God
‘and keep all His commandments, always
that it might be well with them and their
¢hildren forever,’
The coming of P
| Eagle Valley was followed forthwith by
hilip Antes into Bald
the orgamzation of a class, or society.
There were Methodists in the valley before
he came. Riebard Johnston came in 1784,
Rachael Gunsalus and Christopher Helford
in 1785. Lawrence Bathurst came in the
same year with Mr. Antes, aud these, with
their families, formed the nucleus of the
first Methodist Episcopal church in Bald
Eagle Valley. Colonel John Holt, who
came into the valley before the Revolution,
belonged to the Church of England, but
joined: the Society of Antes. The territory
of 1787 was within the Little York and
Juniata circuit, and Rev. David Combs was
the circuit rider of that year. In 1788,
Huntingdon became the name of the circuit,
with Rev. Samuel Breeze and Rev. Daniel
Combs as preachers. In 1789 Rev. Michael
Leard and Rev. Thomas Workman were
the preachers. The number of members
increasing from 59 to 189 in one year, with-
in the circuit. In 1790, Huntingdon cir-
cuit was snpplied by Rev. John Rowen.
Thus, until 1791, the circuit riders pene-
tiated our territory from the South.
According to Captain A. H. McHenry’s
Summary History of the Methodist Episco-
in Centre county, as compiled by the late
i pal church in the West Branch Valley, at
the Conference held in Baltimore, May 6th,
1791, a new circuit called Northumberland
was formed, and Richard Parriott and
Lewis Browning were appointed preachers
therefor. This circuit, from the time of its
formation until 1806, extended from Wilkes-
barre down the North Branch to North-
umberland,and thence up the West Branch
and Bald Eagle Creek to about four miles
above Milesburg, then back the same dis-
tance up Spring Creek, thence to Penns
Valley, near and south of Potter's Fort,
thence by the old Horse Path to Buffalo
Valley and Northumberland. Each preach-
er went around the circuit in four weeks,
preaching every day, except when the dis-
tance was too great, as from Penns to
Buffalo Valley.
Of these early pioneer preachers, speak-
ing in reference to biographical records, af-
ter a somewhat extended research, nothing
but ‘‘the shadow of a name’’ remains. They
were young in itinerancy, the oldest,Samuel
Breeze, admitted on trial in 1783; David
Combs, in 1787; Daniel Comhs the same
year; Michael Leard in 1786, Thomas
Workman in 1789, John Rowen in 1788,
and Richard Parriott in 1790.
In Potter township the pioneer Metho-
‘«dists were: Robert Pennington, John
Frederick Ream and Henry Benn. Robert
Pennington came into Penns Valley from
Maryland in 1786; Henry Benn and J.
Ream from Eastern Pennsylvania in 1787.
Soon afterward a class was formed and
Robert Pennington’s house became a sta-
tion upon the circuit. The tradition of
the Antes family is, that Robert Penning-
ton, when in deep despondency about his
soul’s salvation visited Pbilip Antes, and
that the issue of that visit was ‘‘the Sun of
Righteousness with healing on His wings’’
dispersed his gloom, and he went on his
way rejoicing.
Among the early members of the Pen-
nington class were Jeremiah Sankey and
Thomas Sankey—the latter the grandfather
of Ira P. Sankey, the melody of whose
sacred music now encircles the globe.
In the territory of now Patton township
the ‘first settlers were members of the
Methodist Society; they came also from
Maryland; fireside and altar.were synonym
with them, and Methodism has prevailed
since the pioneer era as the popular creed
in Half-moon Valley. Peter Gray, Sr.,
came into that valley from the neighbor-
‘hood of Hagerstown, in 1788. For the first
few-years the people attended worship at
Wanigrs-mark, some twelve miles distant,
‘bug as soon as Mr. Gray’s cabin was under
‘cover ib became a stopping place for the
cirenit rider, and worship was held once a
month, sometimes oftener, in bis house, for
nearly thirty years, until his death in 1817.
Tradition fixes the date of the formation
of the Gray class in 1790. It was no doubt
earlier, for the patriarch, when he emi-
grated, brought with him his four sons and
two sons-in-laws, John Gearhart and David
Rank, both heads of families. At Mr.
Gray’s cabin’ the preacher coming in the
evening, would stay all night,content with
a bandle of straw for a bed on the floor;
not because his host slighted him in ac-
commodations, but of dire necessity; a
bundle of straw and a blanket composed
what could be afforded. :
For all this God prospered Peter Gray.
It was but a few years until the circuit
rider’s weary limbs reposed in the well
furnished ‘‘prophet chamber,” and broad
fertile acres surrounded the home of this
pioneer Methodist. Prosperity has attend-
ed his children, and his children’s children
to the third, fourth, fifth and sixth gen-
eration. The Gray family is represented
in the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal
church by preachers of great ability and
culture; it was represented in the medical
profession by the lamented Dr. John Pur-
due Gray, of Utica, N. Y., who stood in
the very front rank of the profession as a
scientist,and was, and is represented at the
bar by lawyers of undoubted integrity,and
in all the honorable pursuits of life by men
and women who have never disgraced their
ancestry. ‘
The pioneer of Methodism in Ferguson
township was Captain George Meek, who
had been a Revolutionary soldier and set-
sled within the present boundaries of Fer-
guson township a century ago. . He left
four sons, Robert, David, William and
Meek’s Methodist Episcopal church and
of the township, which will carry the name
of these life-long Methodists down to the
latest generation. In the ministry the
name was represented by Rev. John B.
Meek, the recollection of whose ability and
great zeal has not yet faded from the me-
mory of many of my hearers, and ‘by his
son, Rev. John Minor Meek, also deceased.
This church was also tepresented in the
ministry by Rev. Robert P. Campbell, who
united with the Society at Meek’s church,
Reb. 960, 1886, and who died January 21st,
As stated, the Northumberland circuit
extended four miles above Mileshurg, and
the house of George Sensor was the preach-
ing place. He is represented in the church
by a grandson, Rev. George G. Sensor.
After Mr. Sensor’s time, meetings were
held at Joseph Alexander’s, on the farm
adjoining Mr. Sensor’s, near Unionville.
Abraham Parson’s house, three miles ahove,
also became a preaching place. John ITut-
ton, wholived at the foot of the Allegheny,
was a class leader and meetings were held
at his home.
The preaching place called for four miles
up Spring Creek was no doubt on Logan’s
Brauch of Spring Creek, in the neighbor-
hood of the Old Forge, on Robert Valen-
tine's farm. The McCartney’s, an old
Methodist family of the last century lived
near theve, and prior to 1793 James Kin-

charge an entrance fee and at recess serve a
light luncheon to the pupils. Several
members canvass the town for old rubber
articles, which they will sell. Some girls
are baking ginger snaps at home, while sel-
