bi : —————————————————— Bellefonte, Pa., December 21, 1906. a , IRE FARM NOTES. —Currauts that have grown to large, vigorous hushes and bave not been trim- med, should have about half the canes re- moved, and those remaiving left withoot pruning. —]t is useless to attempt to keep winter squashes that bave been injared by frost, Those that are uninjared are best kept on shelves in layers in a location where the temperature does not fall below 40 degrees. Be careful thas they are not kept too warm. —On farms where it is possible to do so, separate apartments should be provided for brecding sows and young pigs. Pig raising can be carried on assuccessfully in the win- ter as in the summer if the proper atten- tion is given the swine. Keep the pens clean aud provided with bedding and iistle trouble will be experienced from offensive odors. —Every breeder of thoroughbred stock who aims to make a reputation endeavors to cull from the flock or herd any animal that bas the least blemish. If the farmer would pursue such policy, even with grade stock, he would increase the produciuyg ca- ty of bis animals each succeeding year. very inferior animal retained is a draw- back to all the others, as success is bad by using only the best for breeding. —Althoogh milk is, on an average, about 87} per cent. water, it really does not sat- isfy thirst when used as a drink. It may at first seem satisfactory, bat when milk coagalates and digestion begins, the heat of the stomach rises and a feverish thirst comes on. A nob:d scientist claims that the temperature in a call’s stomach often reaches 104 degrees. The young of all an- imals, as well as children, crave pure cold water. —In weaning the colt do not take it from the mother abruptly. Gradual change is necessary to accustom the system to the solid food. Aftea teaching the colt to eat oats, gradually wean 1t from its mother by allowing it access to her three times a day at first, and then after a few days, less often, until it may he taken away entirely. Careful handling in this master may mean much in the developement of the horse. ~All animals on the farm prefer foods that way not be relished by some others. The farmer should take advantage of this fact and utilize all the materials that might be wasted if there were some animals that wonld accept them. A judicions use of the feed caster, mixing a little bran or meal with the food, and tempting the animal with a variety, will render serviceable even such foods as wheat straw and corn fodder. There are several modes of serving corn fodder that will make it acceptable to dain- ty animals. — Alfalfa bas heen found to contain ju-t the kind of nourishment necessary to build up a healthy hog, and farmers who have tried is in feeding, say that it bas produced wonderful results. Alfalfa alone is nos sufliciens, however. Hogs need a ration of corn in addition. Little pigs shonid not be fed a very liberal quantity of corn, but the amount should be gradually increased up to the fattening period. Farmers who have never tried alfalfa as a food for hogs,should experiment with it this winter, and the result will he found so beneficial that they will plant some next year. — Large barns in which cattle and horses are kept during the winter should be so ar- ranged that feed can be piaced hefore the stock without having to carry ita long dis- tance. This will be a great advantage, es- pecially on esormy days, when it is often a hardship and sometimes almost impossible to get from one building to another, on ac- count of deep snow. Trenches, or hig hoxes on wheels are convenient for moving the enxilage and grain to the feeding troughs. Is is a good plan to have grain stored over the feeding barn and a spoat leading to the ground floor, throngh which 1% can be emptied. By exercising a little ingenuity, much nonecessary labor and inconvenience can be avoided. —Mrs. B. T. Little, wife of a prosperous farmer living near Bussey, Iowa, has suo- ceeded in raising lemons which are perfect in shape and color, fall of juice and of un- equaled flavor. Mrs. Little bas haif a doz- en lemon trees growing ia her garden, and she says they all prodaoced fruit this year. Many of the lemons are 12, 12}, and 10} inches in circumference and weigh nearly one pound each. That this variety of oit- rus frait may be cultivated with snccess in such a varied] climate as Iowa offers has been demonstrated by Mrs. Little. She de- clares the fruit she has raised will wake the finest lemon pies in the State and that she bas made from five to seven pies from one of her immense lemons. —Every farmer should examine his stored fruit at frequent intervals during the winter. One decayed apple or pear will ruin an entire barrelfnl if allowed to remain. No matter how careful one is in packing fruit, there are always some imper- ect specimens mixed in with the geod, and itis only a question of time until they make their presence known. It is these faulty specimens that shoald be looked for and removed at the first sign of decay. In re-sorting fruit, the same care should be exercised as when it was originally packed. Carelessness now will result in more trouble la er on. If it is possible to store fruit on shelves io single layers, the danger of its becoming bruised will be considerably les- fened. The most successful finit keepers are those who constantly watch for imper- sectious. — Breeding from vicious parents will not produce the sort of horses that are desira- ble on the farm. Neither will trotting hoises make goed animals for Agricultural pur 3 Horses and colts can live on bay alone, but they will thrive better on a mixed ra. tion of grain and hay. Some farmers claim that alfalfa hay is superior to oats as a feed for horses. In feeding it, however, care must he exercised not to let the stock eat it too freely. There is a scarcity of good carriage horses all over the country at present and prices are constantly advancing. This is due to the fact that inno section of the United States are breeders making any special ef- fort to supply this clase of horses. Short-ribbed horses are always light in weight and are generally poor feeders. Before buying a horse for either draft or driving porposes, carefully examine the front fees and hocks, as those are the parts that come directly in contact with the hard work. Unless they are sound and good, a horse's usefulness will be greatly impaired.’ Never buy a stallion whose feet are con- tracted and brittle, or whose hocks are puffy and fleshy looking.

The fea- tures of this ceremony vary, but the horseplay does not. The brokers let off the tension and have a good time generally. The festivities begin at noon and sometimes last for several hours. The galleries fill early, mostly with wives and sweethearts of the members on the floor. The Stock Ex- change is liberally draped with green and red. The Seventh Regiment band is on hand and as the chairman sounds the gong begins playing “The Star Spangled Banner” or some other patri- otic air. Sometimes an elaborate pro- gramme is arranged, made up of min- strel acts, coon songs, comic talks and similar performances. But, whatever the especial form of the entertainment, the bulls and bears conduct themselves in much the same way. They make Rome howl. Hats are smashed; bags of confetti are thrown at the ladies in the gallery, who in turn empty the contents over the heads and shoulders of the shouting brokers below. If there happen to be new members they are “initiated” and are carried about the room in a yelling procession to the music of the band. On one such occasion an amateur football game was played in the great chamber of the Stock Exchange. Afterward the members indulged in a cakewalk for an immense forty pound cake, which was temptingly displayed on the chair- man's balcony. Ove staid old financier played the piano, another strummed on a guitar, while the younger brokers cut pigeon wings about the floor. In older years a Christmas tree graced the Stock Exchange celebrations, all sorts of comic presents were handed out, and the carnival ended up by every- body telling jokes on everybody else. Of recent years this formal observance of the day has been abandoned. Now the ceremony is simply a small edition of pandemonium, a sort of frenzied Christmas, as it were, The celebration of last year will give an idea of these Christmas eve frolics in Wall street. At five minutes be- fore noon the whole floor seemed In- tent on business, pushing up U. P. and other stocks and hurling puts and calls back and forth like a game of battle- door and shuttlecock. Promptly at 12 the great gong sounded, and in the twinkling of an eye the scene was was toying with her spoon. She look- ed up at him a moment, and her eyes were shining. “I want to go back a little and change your story some. I shall begin where the artist had his opportunity to go abroad and study. When he told the maiden about the chance and offered to give it up for her it was the hardest thing she ever had to do iu her life to refuse the sac- rifice, but she had some small sense of right, and she knew what those years abroad would mean to his future, so she rebuffed him and made him do the thing she knew his head dictated, though his foolish, generous heart led aim to offer the other. He thought it was hard for him, perhaps, but he had Paris, with all its diversions, and the spur of his new work, while she had only the lonely sense of his absence. She used to haunt the places where they had been together, and sometimes the days dragged so that only the thought of the millstone she would have been to him if | she had acceded to his plan kept her from doing some desperate thing. Then there came his letters begging her for some line in return, and that was the hardest bat- tle of all. She fought it steadily for three days be- fore she won. She knew if she wrote to him her letters would keep her in his mind and that some time she might carelessly say something to bring him back sconer than he ought to come. It was hard not to yield to what her heart pleaded for, but she felt he could do his best work cut off from thoughts of her and then"— Joyce paused. “And then?’ the man said quickly. “She thought perhaps he might have fooled himself that he wanted to marry her while circumstances drew their lives so closely together. Now that he was seeing more of the world and meeting other women he would weigh the matter and would learn his mind. If he came back and still wanted her, she would know he méant it, and"— “Yes?” the man broke in eagerly. “That's all,” she 2nded lamely, smil- ing up at him, “No, not all. Together shall we try to end the stories with ‘They lived happily ever after? ” She reached out her hands to him for answer, and he closed them ten. derly in his.

It is said by one of the Boston papers of the opening of u fice State employment agency there thas, “barring the strikes, no other event has hrought together so large an army of unvmpioyed in Boston since the hard times of 1893-4 *’ The street in front of the office was filled and waiting lines of men and women extended out to adjoin- ing streets. While the office had several hundred applications for help on file, there are said to have been at least ten appli- cants for every position. Nor, as might have been supposed. was the crowd made up of old people ond others who coald be of no indastrial use. It is said, on the contrary, to have been cowposed largely of able-bodied young men aud women of the unskilled class. i Sm | MARRIAGE Licexszs.—The following marriage licenses were issued the past week by Register Earle C.

Wuar's 1x McCruar's.—The Christmas Me- Clure’s containg some of the most varied, pictur | esque, and striking material which the magazine { has ever gathered together in a single number. i Perhaps the most interesting single feature is an editorial article in whieh a life of Mary Baker G. Eddy and a history of Christian Science are an- nounced, to begin in January. Christian Science is a movement on which all eyes are turned to- day, and the announcement that a true history of this great romantic movement and its leader is forthcoming, marks an excellent stroke of maga- z ne policy. Another chapter of the Carl Schurz Reminiscences recalls his first journey to the new crude West, a visit in London, and his first hear- ing of Jenny Lind and of Wagner. Myra Kelly heads the list of the McClure fic- tion this month with *‘Little Bo-Peep,” the trag'c story of a little Russian child. “Clancy of the Jack-Pot," by C. F. Holder, is a remarkable hu. man document, relating the adventures of a skee- runner. “On the Ridge," is one of Mrs. Cut- ting's mostclever and delightful studies of mar- ried life. W. B. MacHarg contributes a tou~hing story of the Chicago slums. Another “Zenith” tale, by Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, a delicate piece of impressionism by George Allen England, and “Lily-Aon,"” by Florence Tinsley Cox, complete the listof fiction. Eden Phillcotts contributes some characteristic verse, “Winter Sunrise,” and Florence Wilkinson appears with a remsrkable “Salutation to Russia,’ which will probably be the most quoted poem of the year. The cover design, a richly decorative Christmas piece, is by BElondon Campbell. Mrs, Rice's New Semiar.—St. Nicholas is to have Alice Hegan Rice's first serial story for young peopla ; and the opening chapters will ap, pear in the December issue, the Christmas num- ber, “Captain June’ is the title; and the story deals with a little American lad's adventures in Japan. The tale is full, it is said, ot the same sunny humor that has characterized Mrs. Rice's books for older readers. The story Is being fl- lustrated by C. D. Weldon. Tur Deuxzaron.—In addition to its fiction, poems and its various departments crowded with good things the January Delineator will contain articles on general subjects as follows : ‘The Value of Rest.
