Bellefonte, Pa., January 10, 1908. —————————————————————— FARM NOTES. Pastures need drainage as well as the meadows. —Farmers are becoming more interested in horticulture. —Some one says that horticulture is the poetry of agricultare. —The farmer’s garden is ove of the most profitable spots on the farm. —A man should bave cool judgment to fun a gasoline engine properly. —A pasture properly handled is one, of the most profitable parts of the farm. —Bad management teaches bad habits and lessens the value of breeding stock. —It does not pay to have the pastures fed too closely, as that produces a thin sod. —An acre of well cnltivated is moe profitable than $wo acres half negleot- —No practical farmer can succeed when the entire spirit of the family is for fan and easy living. "—-A thin sod in the pasture means that the grass is drawing plant food only from the soil near the surface. ‘Secretary of Agriculture Wileon says the United States bas the healthiest cattle of any nation on the face of the earth. —Kentucky blue grass and Canadian blue grass make a good mixture for pastur- age, as they mature at different times, —Try barley next spring as a nurse crop for grass or clover. Those who bave used it the past season are much pleased with the results. —Alfalla bas shown this season that it will stand all kinds of reverses and still make a big crop. Those who were lucky enough to have a few acres of it are pre- paring to sow more next spring. —To eradicate worms, placing a lump of rook salt where the horse may lick it at will, is often useful. Oil of turpentine, one-hall ounce, to be followed by the raw oil purge, will dislodge the parasites. —1It never pays to use a cheap grade of galt in butter. If you bave barrel sals for table use, buy a little fine salt to be used, sapecial}y in salting the butter. Barrel % is too coarse and dissolves too slowly to make good butter salt. —Buckwheat has been a very profitable crop this year. Quite a large acreage wils sown last spring, and it is now coming in to the market. The yield is around twenty bushels per acre, and the price rans from $1.50 to $1.75 per hundred. —Salt should be kept where the avimals can obtain it at all times, but it should never be mixed with the feed. The ani. mals can tell better than the owner how much salt they peed and if it is mixed with the feed, there is a liability of getting too much. —Breeding animale peed an abundauce of exercise. Feeding animals also need exercise, but not so much as should be given breeding animals. It is hest to pro- mote the tendency toward iaziness, allow- ing just enough exercise to maintain the health of the body. —The air penetrates as deep as we plow. The deeper we plow the more plant food is | prepared by the action of the air and more moistare is carried in the soil to withstand droughts. Deep fall plowing then is a great rid in breaking up the compounds of ——— PATRICK HENRY. em—— His Pale Face and Glaring Eyes Dur- ing His Great Ovation. The most overwhelming of Patrick Heary's great orations is that which he pronounced before the @onvention which met in St. John's church at Richmond March 28, 1775. Already the mutterings of war were so distinct that Henry, instead of concealing the facts, declared that war was even then on foot. “We must fight!” he said. “An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!” Curiously enough, even of this ora- tion there is no authentic record. Cer- tain sentences, certain stirring phrases, were remembered by many who were there, but the speech as we have it is almost surely a restoration by William Wirt, himself an eloquent and brilliant orator. He supplied the gaps in what his informants repeated to him, plec- | ing out their recollections with his | own vivid fancy. But the spirit of | Henry flames all through it, and to Henry may be safely ascribed such burning sentences as these: | “I have but one lamp by whieh my | feet are guided, and that is the lamp | of experience. 1 know of no way of judging the future but by the past.” “Three millions of people armed in the holy cause of liberty and in such a country as that which we possess are fnvincible by any force which our en- emy can send against us.” “Gentlemen may cry peace, peace. but there is no peace!” | “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as | to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! 1 know not what course others may take, but, as for me, give me liberty or | give me death!” As in the case of all orators of the very first rank, the physical impres- sion made by Henry was as strong as the intellectual. There exists a de- | scription of his appearance while de- | livering this last great speech—a de- | scription that came from one who was present at the time. It tells how, when Henry rose and claimed the floor, | there was an “unearthly fire burning | in his eyes. He commenced somewhat | calmly, but his smothered excitement began more and more to play upon his | features and thrill in the tones of his volce. The tendons of his neck stood | out white and rigid like whipcords. | Finally his pale face and glaring eyes | became terrible to look upon.” The | witness of the scene who gave this | vivid picture said that he himself “felt | slek with excitement.” When the ora- tor had finished his speech “it seemed as If a word from him would have | led to any wild explosion of violence. | Men looked beside themselves.”—Lyn- | don Orr in Munsey's. i 1 i i Discreet Silence. | An excellent plece of advice was | that once given to George Gray, a | young Methodist preacher, who was a | mere boy when he began his work. Within a few days of the time he was fifteen and a half years old his name was on the records of an annual con- ference as a traveling preacher—the | youngest candidate ever received in | the Methodist Episcopal church. He | was sent to the Barre circuit in Ver- | mont. As he mounted his horse to set | she soil, in preparing plant food, in storing out for his appointed field of labor, a | moisture and in warming the soil for early jaunt of more than 200 miles, his un- planting. —An aore contains 6,272,640 square | and humor. gave him a parting ad- inohes of surface, and av inoh of rain | dress which he never forgot and to means, therefore, the same number of cubic inoles of water. A gallon contains 277.27 oubio inches of water, and an inch of rain- fall means 22,622 gallons of water to the acre and, as a gallon of water weighs ten pounds, the rainfall of an aore is 226.220 pounds. — Artichokes are recommended for bog feeding by F. A. Elford, of Holmesville, Ont. He plants them the same as potatoes and roots, and the pigs harvest the orop, enongh seed being lefts below the reach of the bogs for the next year's crop. He claims that 600 to 2000 bushels should be grows per acre. The only cultivation given to go over the land in the spring with a spring-tooth cultivator, working the sur face level. —Professor Raue, of the New Hampshire station, recommends the American purple top rutabaga for the following reasons : It is a fine market sort. often selling in the markets for double the price of the early white turnip. It is also a splendid keeper and is usnally free from all sponginess. While it cannot be planted as late as the early turnips, it can be used as a follow orop after SRFlY perk, provided the seed is sown not later July 10th. —A wagon left to the weather and son is old when one vear bas . A wagon well cared for and is not old in five years. The cost of a new wagon will build the wagon shed. Tools left to the weather are soon out of shape, and the wood ruined. The tool shed is not so es- sential as the dwelling or the barn, bat it is expensive to do withont it. The only people who are to be excused are those who are ‘‘too poor to be economical.” We have beard of them before. —1It is claimed by best authorities that an acre of apple trees in twenty years, counting ten crops of fruit to that period, will consume 1336 pounds of nitrogen, 310 pounds phosphoric acid, and 1895 pounds of potash. To restore the potash alone would require more than twenty-one tons of high grade ashes, containing five per cent., How much of this does the average fruit grower retaro to the soil? If we were fattening a steer for market and shonld give it only half rations, how much profit would that steer return ? —When coarse stable manure is plowed under and there is moisture enough in the soil and manure to cause its fermentation, it immediately begins to furnish food for crops. It does this all the better in early spring, ae the manure under the furrow holde it up and admits warm air from above, which is just what is required to cause active fermentation. The release of feel of warm me is to rise. good reason dressing during PTS a orig to be plowed or hoed spring. oo cle, a Methodist of much shrewdness which he often referred In later years. “Never pretend that you know much, ! George,” sald he, looking up at the | youthful rider from under his shaggy eyebrows, “for if you do so pretend the people will soon find out that you are sadly mistaken, but neither,” he added after a moment's pause, “need you tell them how little you know, for this they will find out soon enough.” Strainers Made of Men's Hair. The barber as his patron rose shook from the apron to the floor the short locks that he had clipped from the man’s head. and at the same time a boy appeared, swept up the hair and placed it carefully in a large bag. “Has it got any use? asked the pa- tron. with an Interested and pleased smile. “Of course it has,” said the barber. “Would 1 save it otherwise?’ “But it is so short.” “No matter, It has its uses.” “What is it used for?” said the man. “What will become of that short hair which 1 have been carrying about so long under my hat?” “Well,” said the barber, “some of it will go into mortar, some of it will stuff furniture, but most of it will be made into those fine strainers which are used to clarify the best sirups. There are no strainers equal to those woven of short human hair, and for all the hair that we barbers can supply the strainer makers keep up a steady demand.”—Los Angeles Times. > HE SAW THE SIGN. Cause of the Smashup as Told by the Old Darky Driver. The old darky was suing the railroad company for damages. The man con- tended that, not being warned by whis- tle or engine bell, he had started to drive his rig across the company's track when a shunted box car of sald company crashed into his outfit, caus- ing the death of the horse, loss of the wagon and minor injuries to himself. After the prosecution had closed its gide of the case the company’s lawyer called the old darky to the stand and went at him. “ar. Lamson,” he began, “your rig was struck by the box car in full day- light, was it not?’ “1 fink dar was some clouds ovahead, guh,” answered the caviling witness. “Never mind the clouds! And only a few days before this accident the railroad company had put a new sign at that crossing?’ “Dar was a sign dar; yaas, suh!” «And didn’t that sign say: ‘Stop! Look! Listen?” “Now, dar am de whole accusation gb de trouble!” declared the darky, with animation. “If dat ‘Stop’ sign hadn't caught dis chile’s eye jes’ 's Ah war gquare on dat track, dar would- n't a’ been no smashup!”"—Bohemian. | THE DEADLY UNDERTOW. What to Do When Caught In the Treacherous Currents. Those deadly undertows which so often prove fatal to swimmers are pro- duced by tides and coast currents. The former only carry out at ebb tide; the latter usually zigzag along the shore. “If you are a robust swimmer,” a professor of the art, “you can erally overcome them by quick, alert strokes. If, however, you do not at once succeed don’t persevere, for this time, floating or swimming leisurely, you will have time to take your bear- ings and either make another attempt or call for assistance. “Sometimes you will find the under- tow runs parallel to the shore. You may then let yourself be carried along with the certainty that before long it will twist inshore, when a short spurt will bring you to safety.”—Cassell's Journal. —— Queen Alexandra's private library is one of the most remarkable in the king- dom.
