Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 13, 1905. FARM NOTES. —How many of the tools are dull or implements rusted cannot be known with- out au examination. Repairs should be attended to now before spring opens, and as tools and implements that are in good order will facilitate work itis important that this matter be at once given atten- tion. —New wheat often brings better prices than the average for the several months following; there is also a saving of storage, the farmer gets immediate use of the money, and there is also less risk of loss by fire, weevil and other: causes. It may be proper for farmers to hold on at times, bus there is always as much risk in losing as there are opportunities for gaining by so doing. —No kind of land should become poor from cropping. Every time a crop is re- moved something should be applied to the land. There may bea sufficiency of ma- nare, but fertilizers are now much cheaper than formerly, owing to increased sources for procuring them. ‘On farms where live stock can he made profisable the ground should become richer every year and the crops correspondingly larger. . — Instead of exposing the corn fodder in the fields it-shoald be stored under cover as soon as dry enough, and it will bean advantage to have it in the barn before it gets wes, which, however, is not always possible, but the less exposure to rain the better. In the south the stalks are stripped of the blades, which are cured in bundles, and put in she barn immediately, which renders fodder very acceptable to stock of all kinds, and it largely supplies the place of hay. —Spinach is a crop that is usually plant- ed in the fall. It is bardy and endures se- vere winters. The seed may be broadcast- ed or sown in drills, Another winter vege- table which remains in the ground until spring is salsify, which, however, is seeded in May. Turnips if left in the ground will produce early greens in spring, and so will the stalks of cabbage if they are left with their roots in the ground. The most popu- lar for affording early greens in winter, however, is the spinach,thoungh it is rather late now for seeding. —(Careful experiments have shown that plowing or cultivating within four or five feet of the trunks of well-established apple trees has no noticeable effect on their growth or froitfulness. Trees 14 years old have been found with roots extending 30 feet on either side, while those of old trees have been known to extend 200 feet. It is evident that the feeding roots do nob lie close to the base of the tree; therefore, why cannot fruit growers do away with the general practice of expending patience, time and strength in plowing close to each tree, breaking many important roots, as well as injaring branches and trunks, and preventing the possibility of those low- growing herbs which many desire. —A cold snap usually comes in early autumn, after which there are weeks of the finest days of the year. It therefore pays to take some pains to protect the |. tender plants during three or four frosty nights, and their bloom may be enjoyed afterward. A light sheet, or even news- papers, spread over beds of geraninms, coleus, otc., will save them. A group of canoas may. in this way be kept in its beauty, while if lef unprotected the lux- uriant growth is cut down by the frost and soon becomes unsightly. Anyone who bas gone to all the toil and care of bringing a fine ‘bed of tender plants to perfection should certainly use every precantion to preserve the plants as long as possible. —It is a source of great economy to cut all bay, straw and fodder fed to cows, even though there be no mixture of meal or bran with it. They will eat up very close- ly much that wonld otherwise be left and wasted if fed long. Dry corn-stalks, that so maosy farmers have neglected on the ground where they grew, to become a nui- sance when preparing for the following orop, if cus at the proper time, and after curing, stacked and kept dry, out and crushed with a suitable machine and fed fo the stock in winter, would become a source of great profit. Pure, clean water should at all times be accessible to the dairy cow, and is as essential for health and profit as feed, and without both of good quality and lileral quantities the best results will not be obtained. —Before waier can be used by an animal in winter its temperature must be inoreas- ed. The heat for this purpose must he applied by the body, and takes that much fuel for the accomplishment of she object. In other words, if the waster is not warmed before given to the cow she must warm it herself, which is so much loss of animal heat, which comes from the food. The reason why we are so often chilled when cold water is used ia becanse we contribute the warmth of our bodies to the water, causing a reduction of temperature. We can easily notice, therefore, that it is‘no¢ at all improbable for a cow to give a larger quantity of milk when she is not taxed to supply additional heat to her drink, which leaves a surplus of food to be devoted to produetion.. The productive capacity of all animals is limited. Just in proportion as we give them the opportunities of pro- ducing so will be the result. Food, shelter and the temperature of the food are all factors to be considered, and as the one is lessened a demand must be made in the other directions to compensate for the loss. HOG CHOLERA. — The losges from this disease, both in America and England, are astonishing. The cause of the disease and the care for it are still unknown; even keeping a herd of swine in a grass or clover pastare, and fed nothing save a few quarts each per day of wheat bran, and access at will to pure running water, giving char- vual also to gnaw, have not prevented their being astacked with cholera, though per- fectly healthy when turned out to pasture. The swine thus treated have escaped much better than such as Have been confined to pens or yards, especially if at all filthy, or damp,or muddy. Also,when not fed oncorn or any other quite fattening food. We do not hear that any one has yet tried a small daily ration of flaxseed oil-meal, or possi- bly cotton-seed meal with the bran, and grass pasture. We should think if these did no good, they would at least do no harm. As hot san ie hurtful to the swine, and their pasture should be so shady as to soreen them from it even into September; then avoid frost and cold rain storms. While the cause of this disease is not well known, all experience shows that attend- ance to the general sanitary condition of the herd goes far in preventing its attacks on consequent loss to the owner. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN: DAILY THOUGHT. : It isa great blunder in the pursuit of hap- piness not to know when we have got it: that is, not to be content with a reasonable and possible measure of it.—Dr. Johnson. Freshen Up Your Old Furnitare.—Jusst now is the time when the housewife begins to prepare the house for the coming winter, not a general housecleaning, but something like a renovation of household effects. No matter what you may do with your carpets, your pictures and all that, the house will not present a really respectable appearance | unless you see to it that the farnitare is so cleansed that it will not have that misty appearance which comes in time to all var- nished or highly polished wood. Prepared stains for furniture may be bought at any department store, but they are not always mixed just right and itis really a simple matter for you to mix your own stains and renovators at home. A good polish for mahogany which looks filmy is made of five parts of pale resin, forty parts of benzine, two and a-half parts of palm oil, one-quarter part essence ver- benasand three-quarters of a part of essence of peppermint. It must be kept tightly cealed,away from fire and light,and shaken before it isused. Apply with a silk cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth, also of silk. The wood should be washed with tepid suds about once in three months. This polish will give a good lustre to fine wood of different kinds. ‘Lots of varnished furniture will be found covered with soratches and such a thing al- ways pats the housewife in despair, It is really the simplest thing in the world to get rid of these scratches and your furni- ture will look like new. Take just a spoon- ful of turpentine and with this mix an equal quantity of linseed oil. . Take either a soft smail brush or a piece of cotton, dip it in the mixture of turpentine and oil and pase quickly over the scratch. In half a minute you will see that the scratoh has disappeared as though by magic. Instant- ly wipe off the mixture with a clean or oily cloth, a soft cloth, of course, and rub for a minute or so. Do not, under any oir- cumstances, leave the mixture of turpentine and oil on the furniture more than a min- ute, for it may injure the varnish, as it softens it. This little secret will be found of great value to every housewife who cares to have her furniture free from scratches. Wicker furniture which has been var- nished will not take enamel until the var- nish bas been removed. In order to do this, boiling water in which a little wash- ing soda has heen dissolved should be pour- ed over and thiough the wicker work for ten minutes or longer. Let this dry and then go over it with a flannel cloth wet in turpentine or naphtha. It must then be left out in theair or where the air can reach it. Next day rab down with sandpaper. Wicker, rush and bamboo articles are better dyed than painted. To make an excellent black dye, dis- solve one-quarter of a pound of logwood extract in a gallon and a-balf of water. Boil this thoroughly, then add two onnces of blue vitrol dissolved in a pint of water; boil for ten minutes longer, skim well and apply while boiling hot with a thick soft brush. If possible hold the thing to be stained over the boiling dye pot during the process. It tbe coat is not deep enongh boil down the dye to ore-balf and give a second coat. Is must be allowed to dry two days, then be scrubbed well with a stiff brush and strong tepid soapsuds. This should pre- vent smut. After drying the black can be varnished, oiled or treated with wax or with farniture polish. With good domestic dyes raw wicker or unpainted wood can be dyed almost any color. Spots of sun-fading in stained floors or window casing can be restored. Cover them with a folded cloth wet in benzine or turpentine. Let it lie an hour, then rub over with alcohol and wash with strong tepid soda water. This takes off the old" varnish. Stain the spot afresh, let it dry, revarnish and polieb. Spots which have faded from hard wood surfaces through heat, light or the touch of alkalies can be brought back to their orig- inal color by rubbing gently with boiled linseed oil mixed with one-eighth of alcohol. They must be rubbed several times a day with a bit of soft old silk or linen swab made by rolling a bit of cotton batting in a square of cloth. To remove a dens from wood cover with four thicknesses of wet paper and set a blazing hot iron on the paper for a minute. The steam will raise the compressed wood layers, though you may be put to the trouble of revarnishing the spot. If necessary; repeat the steam- ing, and if the varnish is injured sandpaper the 2 i rub off with alcohol or naphtha and then revarnish. : A mixture of equal parts of spirits of wine and glycerine is recommended as the best preparation for ‘cleaning oak ‘having neither polish nor varnish. It is said no to alter the tone of the surface, and will in a large measure prevent stain or soil. _ If nnshellacked plaster casts need clean: ing make a cooked starch, a little thinner than for laundry use. Brush the casts with it while it is hot and leave it for a day or two. Then peel the starch off and with it will probably come the dirt. A second ‘application in extreme cases may be needed. Cleaning Piano Keys.—To keep piano keys clean and prevent the discoloration of the ivory, dampen a piece of muslin with alcohol and with it rub the keys. The alcohol can do no damage, and if requent- ly applied the keys will stand in want of no other treatment, but if they have al- ready begun to turn yellow rub them with cotton flannel wet with cologne water. Even old and discolored ivory may be rejuvenated, no matter what the cause of discoloration or of how long standing. An acid applied repeatedly will usually re- store the keys to their original whiteness. Cotton flannel cloths wet with a saturated solution of oxalic acid and water and laid upon the keys will remove all stains. Careshould always be taken in the nse of such a bleacher as this that it does not touch anything from which the color is not to be removed, for it does its work with great certainty. White linen shirt waists and blouses will be worn all winter, with slips of lawn, or of silk, if you're a chilly mortal. Exquisite soarfe are abont—some of them heavy with embroidery; others the lightest, most diaphanous bits of gossamer silk in | the world. Three Trninmen Killed In Wreck. Express Collides With Two Cars on Pennsylvania Railroad. Many Race Horses Killed. Millersburg, Pa., Oct. 9.—Three men were killed, one man was injured and a carload of race horses were either killed or so badly hurt that they had to be shot, as the result of a collision on the Lykens Valley branch of the Pennsylvania railroad a quarter of a mile south of this place. The dead are: Theodore Scott, fireman, and Ralph Hendershott, brakeman, both of Nor- thumberland, and Charles E. Berry, freight conductor, of Sunbury. The injured man is Julius Lesh, en- gineer, of Sunbury, whose leg was crushed and body bruised. All the vic- tims were married. The collision was between the fast No. 3 Erie mail train, west-bound, and a caboose and box car containing a load of race horses. The mail train was bound from Harrisburg to Erie. It was preceded out of Harrisburg by a fast freight rain which, owing to a heavy fog, lost some time. The ca- boose and box car accidentally un- coupled at the junction of the Lykens Valley branch, and the mail train over- took them. Berrry and Hendershott weer in the caboose when the crash came and were killed instantly. Fire- man Scott, of the mail train, was hurled into the midst of the wreck and also killed. Engineer Lesh, of the mail train, was thrown under the wreckage of his engine. After the col- lision the wreckage took fire, ani the bodies of Berry and Hendershott were burned almost beyond recognition. The passenger engine left the track but did not upset. All the cars on the mail train remained on the rails. There were 200 passengers on the mail express, but none were seriously hurt. A number were thrown into a panic until the full extent of the ac- cident was known. During the excite- ment scores climbed through windows, fearing that they would be thrown into the Susquehanan river, along which the railroad lies. The horses were bound for the fair at Bloomsburg and belonged to several eastern horsemen. IN FAVOR OF TARIFF REVISION Massachusetts Republican Convention Declares For It. Boston, Oct. 7.—With only one voice raised in opposition, the Republicans of Massachusetts in state convention de- clared for a revision of the tariff. Con- trary to expectations, the radical wing of the party, under the leadership of Eugene N. Foss, of Boston, did not offer a substitute for the plank in the platform relating to the tariff, al- though in a speech to the delegates Mr. Foss declared that the revision of the tariff favored in the state platform was not sufficiently fide in its scope. The declaration is thought to be the first definite pronouncement of the kind that has ben made by a Republi- can state convention since the Dingley bill was adopted by congress. The following ticket was nominated: Governor—Curtis Guild, Jr., Boston. Lieutenant governor—Eben S. Dra- per, Hopedale. Secretary of state—William Boston. Treasurer and receiver general—Ar- thur B. Chapin, Holyoke. Auditor—Henry E. Turner, Malden. Attorney general — Dana Malone, Greenfield. EXPORT MOST OF OUR COTTON Sixty-one Per Cent. of Year’s Crop Was Sent Abroad. Washington, Oct. 10.—The census bureau issued a bulletin showing the production and distribution of the cot- ton of the United States available be- tween September 1, 1904, and Septem- ber 1, 1905, to be 14,455,994 bales. Of this about 61 per cent. was exported and 31 per cent, was used in domestic consumption, leaving a surplus of 9 per cent. The domestic consumption includes 36,776 bales destroyed by fire. Another Football Victim. Richmond, Va., Oct. 10.—~Howard C. Montgomery, of Montgomery, W. Va,, a student at Hampden Sidney College, M. Olin, | who was injured in a football practice | game at the college last week, died here. His spine was so badly hurt as to cause paralysis of the lower part of the body. He was operated on Sat- urday. His remains were taken to his home in West Virginia. Thos. F. Ryan Prepares His Sepulchre Richmond, Va., Oct. 9.—It is under- stood that Thomas F. Ryan, of New York and Virginia, is to have con- structed in the $500,000 cathedral he has given to the Roman Catholic dio- cese of Richmond, now nearing com-. | pletion, a vault to be the place of sepulchre of himself, Mrs. Ryan and the bishops of this diocese, to cost about $10,000. Had Miraculous Escape From Death. Princeton, N. J, Oct. 9.—Nellie and Frances Vanderburg, girls about 12 years old, had a miraculous escape here, when they were hurled from a 40-foot trestle by a gravel train. The girls were struck by the engine when in the center of the trestle and fell into the Delaware and Raritan canal, from which they were rescued unhurt ‘but badly frightened. Pottsville, Pa., Oct. 9.—John Veith, for 25 years general mining superin- tendent of the Philadelphia & Read- ing Coal and Iron company, died sud- denly here from a stroke of paralysis. He was 70 years of age. VIN-TE-NA for Depressed Feeling, Ex- bausted Vitality, Nervous Debility and Diseases requiring a Tonio Strengthening Medicine.

THE RoYAL MONTH AND THE ROYAL DisEAsE.—Sudden changes of weather are especially trying, and probably to none more so than to the scrofalous and con- sampsive. The progress of scrofula during a normal October is commonly great. We never think of :crofula—its bunches, cus- aneous eruptions, and wasting of the bodi- ly substance—without thinking of the great good many sufferers from it have de- riveb from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, whose radi- cal and permanent cures of this one dis- ease are enough to make it the most famous medicine in the world. There is probable not a city or town where Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla has not proved its merit in more homes than one, in arresting and{complete- ly eradicating sorofula‘ which is almost as serious and as much to be feared as its near relative, —consumption. .
