SE i i EE Bellefonte, Pa. February I4, 1908. ————————————————— oe FARM NOTES. —Land plaster is not a fertilizer, but will liberate potash, and shows a marked benefis on clay and sandy land to clover. —There isa widely prevalent notion that a bog, being fat, peeds no tion from biting cold and high oo bat that sort of an argument is never put up to a fat man. —If you are nol getting your lambs early to market this year, resolve todo better next season. Iicosts no more to ace a lamb that will sell for a fancy price, than it does to raise the other kind. —Wyoming experiments in preserving fence posts show that when the posts were dipped in erode petroleum and baroed off so that the char comes above the ground when posts are set, they will keep indefi- nitely. —Beeswax is voluntarily formed inside the body of the working bee from flaid honey and pollen. The wax leaves the secreting glands in a liquid state, and solidifies 1n small, transparent scales. The pollen used by the bee gives the wax its distinctive color. —The cow’s body is warmed by the food it consumes, and if through exposure to cold or rain the temperature of the body is rednoed, more food is required to keep up the inside warmth, and if the demand for food fnel is kept up, little or none is left for milk production. —-It is sometimes inconvenient to clean the horees when one comes home tired from a drive over the muddy or snow- covered roads, but it pays to do it, nob only on the principle that the mercifal man is mercifal to his beast, but on the score of health as well. —Clovers differ greatly as to theirability to live with water at their roots. Thus the red varieties must be grown on land where water does not stand. A large proportion of the failures in getting catohes of clover are doubtless due to the sowing of the seed on poorly-drained land. —Where the red clover is wanted, and the land is wet, the only thing to do is to drain it, so that the land will dry out well in the spring and get warm quickly, and so that it will remain warm until late in the fall. Cold land is not suitable to the growing of mediom and red clover. —A buff Orphington hen owned by G. G. Shoemaker, of York, Pa., was recently sold to A. J Cheek, of Henderson, N. C. for $400. The fowl took the frst prize at Madison Shuare Garden, and is considered one of the most perfect of her kind in the world. The hen weighs four pounds, 80 she cost the purchaser was $100 a pound. —The one or two nails in time may save your horse from a bad sprain. Give your stock a *quare deal by giving it a sqnare meal at feed time. Assoon think of leaving home without your overcoatas withouta good, warm blanket for your horse. The one is ae im- portant as the other. —Some onion growers olaim that ocar- bolic acid emulsion often gives satisfactory results in combating the onion maggot. Dissolve one pound hard soap or one quart sofs soap in a gallon of boiling water ; add one pint of orude carholio acid, and emal- sify by agitation. One part emulsion is used to 30 parts of water applied at the root. —]t is seldom that a farmer can acoumu- late a sufficient amount of wood ashes for a large field, but on farms where wood is used there is a limited supply which can be pat to good use on the garden or on the youug clover. Ashes are excellent also on all grass lands and in orchards. They are applied broadcast in any quantity desired, as many as 100 bushels per acre having been used on certain soils. —The Arizona Station has recorded the results of a cold rain on the flow of milk of the station herd. The cows were exposed for three days to a cold rain. Daring this time the herd decreased 37 cent. in milk yield and continued until it reached 50 per cent. aud it was a month until the cows gave as much milk as before the storm. ‘This is what might be called a cash illastration of the value of sheltering cows from cold rains. — Every bead of clover consists of about 60 lower tubes, each of which contains an infinitesimal quantity of sugar. Bees will often visit a hoodred different heads of clo- ver before retiring to the hive, and in or- der to obtain the su .ar necessary for a load must, therefore, thrust their tongues into about 6000 different flowers. A bee will make twenty trips a day when the clover patch is convenient to the hive, and thus draw sugar from 120,000 different flowers in a single day’s work. —Never allow the sheep to run in the same yard with the cows. Sheep are timid aod may easily be injured. One of the moss important things in making the sheep business profitable is care. - Sheep feel neglect, and there is always failure where they are kept in ashiftless, careless way. A small flock is a valuable investment for every farmer —When a young calf is taken from ite daw there is more or less difficulty in raie- ing it. Some mistakes are usually made, the result being scours. The natural food of the call is fresh, warm milk, and the milk given it after it ie parted from the cow shouid also be fresh and warm. If skim milk is used there will be a lack of cream, which is important so far as the welfare of the calf is concerned. One who has been successful adds a raw exg, well shaken, with the milk, at each meal. Flax: seed meal, cooked until a jelly is formed, may be used with the milk, a gill at each meal being sufficient at first. Do not over feed, but give a little milk at a time and often, at a temperatare of 95 degrees. —Cow manure, although the least con- centrated and most watery of all farm ma- nares, is she backbone of farm fertility on account of its quality. When mixed with horse manare, it makes what is commonly called barnyard manure, which is well for most crops. When kept by it- sell without plenty of litter there is danger that the liquid part of the cow manure will leach away. A common practice is to throw the two kinds of manure together in the gutter hehind the cows, thus aheorhing the ligaid at once. Where many cows and but few horses are kept, leaves and other refuse mast be used quite freely uoder the cows to secure manure easily managed, abundant and of good quality. The liquid part is half the farm fersilisy. defenseless, and A JUBILEE JOKE. a— Lady Churchill's Bustle That Played “God Save the Queen.” Everything that year (Queen Victo- ria’s jubllee year) was dubbed “jubi- lee,” from knights and bables to hats and coats. “God Save the Queen” was heard ad nauseam on every conceiva- | ble occasion until the tune became an obsession. This led to a practical joke at the castle which caused much amusement. One morning, speaking of the jubilee craze, 1 pretended that had received as an advertisement a “jubilee bustle,” which would play “God Save the Queen” when the wear- er sat down. This, of course, created much curiosity and laughter. Having promised to put it on, 1 took my hosts into my confidence. An aid-de-camp was pressed into the service and armed with a small musical box was made to hide under a particular armchair. While the company was at luncheon | retired to don the so called “jubilee wonder,” and when they were all as- sembled I marched in solemnly amd slowly sat down on the armchair where the poor aid-de-camp was hiding his cramped limbs. To the delight and astonishment of every one the national anthem was heard gently tinkling forth. Every time 1 rose it stopped; every time 1 sat down it began again. I still laugh when | think of it and of the astonished faces about me.—"*Rem- iniscences of Lady Randolph Church- ill” in Century. A GREAT STATESMAN. Humorous Incident of Gladstone's Ri- valry With Disraeli. An anecdote of Gladstone at the time of his greatest rivalry with Disraeli is often retold. At a dinner party the subject of Judaism cropped up. “Admitted,” said Gladstone. “that the Hebrews have given the world a philosopher in Spinoza, musicians in Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, a poet in Heine. the fact remains that they have not produced a single statesman.” Tiuere was silence for a moment. Ev- ery one knew of course that this was a direct allusion to Disraeli. Then one of the company stepped Into the breach. “Mr. Gladstone,” he said, “as a mat- ter of fact the Hebrews have produced a statesman and one of the greatest the world has seen.” The fighting instinct of Mr. Glad- stone surged up at once. “May 1 ask, sir.” he said pointedly, “who was this Hebrew statesman?” Every one, anticipating a more than lively scene, waited In tense expecta- tion for the answer. It came In the quietest tones, ‘‘Moses, sir.” Every one smiled, and Mr. Gladstone joined {no the laugh.— Vienna Welt. A Jewel Beyond Price. Many years ago a Norwegian was taken to a big London hospital suffer- fng from an illness which prevented him from earning his living. Sir Fred- erick Treves operated upon him and completely cured him of his trouble. Some weeks afterward the man called upon Sir Frederick at his private house, and. much to his surprise. presented him with a coin. At first Sir Frederick refused to take it. but the man would not be put off. “1t is now three years since 1 left my native land.” he said. “and before 1 came away my wife gave me this coin and told me never to part with it un- less 1 was starving. [It is not worth anything, but the value to me 1 cannot express. When I was in the hospital I made up my mind that you should have it. Since you cured me 1 have been starving, but 1 would not part with the coin because 1 wanted you to have it as a small return for saving my life.” “What magnificent piece of jewelry,” gald Sir Frederick when he told the story, “could equal the value of that coin?"—London M. A. P. The Attraction of Chess Problems. The mere player who has never ex- perienced the magnetic attraction of problems cannot fully realize the feel- ing of joy and satisfaction from solv- ing some masterpiece, the work of a famous composer. There can be no doubt that solving problems, especially from diagrams, is an intellectual amusement and that the study of prob- lems tends to accuracy of analysis, quickens the perception and strength- ens the chess faculties generally and may occasionally impart some of those sparkling ideas which are so sadly needed in ordinary play.—Strand Mag- Riot of Joy Proffered. A tramp applied for help at a house in the country. The kind hearted mis- tress made it a rule never to turn any away empty handed. “Here's a dime for you, my man.” she said. “I'm mot giving it to you for charity's sake, but merely because it pleases me.” “Thankee,” said the man, “but couldn't you make it a quarter and en- joy yourself thoroughly. mum "—Phila- delphia Ledger.

Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.—Swift. A BORN SOLDIER. Major General Stuart, the Dashing Cavalry Leader. Major General J. E. B. Stuart of the Confederate cavalry was a soldier by nature. Dashing and daring. cool in the face of danger, he was one of the brave and picturesque figures of the i elvil war, “Life and Campaigns of Major General Stuart” from General Fitz-Hugh Lee's impression of the future cavalry lead- er while he was still at West Point: “1 recall his distinguishing charac- teristics, which were strict attention to military duty; erect, soldierly bearing: immediate and almost thankful accept- ance of a challenge to fight from any cadet who might feel himself in any way aggrieved and a clear, ringing voice.” Stuart was a most cheerful soldier. That “clear” voice of his was often used in singing his favorite war song: If you want to have a good time, Jine the cavalry. His courageous attitude was held until the very end. He was wounded by a pistol on the battlefield. As he was being carried away he noticed the disorganized ranks of his retreating men. “Go back!” he called out. “Go back! Do your duty as 1 have done mine! Go back! 1'd rather die than be whip- "wr Those were his last words on the field of battle. Later he said. with the same courage: “I'm going fast now. God's will be done.” ————————— Take Your Bearings.
