Bellefonte, Pa._ February 28, 1908. FARM NOTES. —1In cattle feeding cow-pea and alfalfa hay make a good substitute for whert bran. —A horse weighing 1600 pounds is about right for farm work. It is not advisable to have him heavier. —Let the horse eat all the dirt he wants. It is good for him. Occasionally throw a ohunk of tarf into the feed box. —For injuries to the teats or udder of the cow an ointment made from a mixture of fresh batter and tar is excellent. —The average length of a hen’s egg is 2.27 inches ; diameter at the broad end, 1.72 inches : weight, about one-eighth of a pound. —The era of big hogs seems to be passing away. Hogs weighing from 125 to 200 pounds—the smooth small-boned kind— bring the best money. —For humble-foot in poultry paint the corn liberally with tincture of iodine daily for a week. If this isdone in the early stages the corn can be spread. —One hundred pounds of wheat bran contains 12 2 pounds of digestible protein, 39 2 pounds digestible carbohydrates and 2.7 pounds either extract or fat, — Plant standard apple trees 40 feet each way, with peach or pear trees as fillers be- tween them. When the filler trees are well grown they will have plenty of room without crowding the standard ones. —8al soda is excellent for removing fat and grease from milk pails, cans and so rators, but soap is best for dirt alone. 1 soda is neither poisonous nor corrosive. Use with water in small proportions. —Profit lies not so much in big crops as in good ones. A 50 acre farm properly tilled and cared for will yield quality that is worth more money than will a farn twice the size, with a crop of an inferior sort. —Angora goats generally live twice as long as sheep. A healthy goat will eat about 750 pounds of hay in one winter, bat will manage to get along on a reason- ably good brush pastare in summer with- out anything else. —A mule’s hoof, being smaller and tougher than that of the average horse, does not need shoeing unless on bard roads a great deal. Better not shoe if confined to work on the farm, uoless used to haul on frozen ground. —8heep manure is the hess manure and will improve the land faster than any other kind of manure made on the farm, with the possible exception of that made by fowls, which is quite frequently termed *‘American guano,” —When manure becornes heated and the odor of ammonia is noticed there is then a loss of Ysluable fertilizing substance—ni- trogen.’ If the beat is very high force a crowbar down in the heap is several places and pour cold water in to redace the tem- perature, — Professor Rommel, of the National Ba- rean of Animal Industry, says his investi- gations show that the sows of the Poland- China breed have increased in fecundity daring the past 20 years. A 10-year ex- periment shows that while the Poland- China litters average 7.52, the Daroc-Jer- seys average 9.26. —An iron weight with a strap attached to it shonld always be carried in she farm wagon. The moment the horse is stopped and the driver is to leave the team, the weight should be dropped on the ground and the strap fastened to the horse. This will make it safer than to allow the team to stand unbitohed. —Manure is simply materials that have been softened and decomposed (digested) within the body of ao animal. To apply such raw materials as bran and linseed meal directly to the soil wonld he of no advantage, nothwithstanding thas they are excellent fertilizers, their value being in. oreased by feeding to stock. —Goose feathers are often treated in thie manner : After being spread in some clean, dry, airy place they should he turned over with a fork every few days until thorough- ly dried. If placed in bags and well steamed they are more valuable, as the steam has a tendency to purify them, re- moving much of the oily odor they vatur- ally have. —ASs a rule, there is very little moisture in the sheep pen from the animals them- selves. Sheepmen say that by heavy bed- ding, particularly at the beginning of the season, the straw will ahsorb all the urine from the sheep without there being any softness or rotting of the straw, and the pens are often not cleaned more than once in a season without injury to the stock. — All fruit trees should be spraved while dormant, with lime, sulphur and eait, as a preventive of San Jose scale, to destroy the fangi. It is also claimed that this Preparation isa good fertilizer, and will elp to keep the trees healthy. Quite a number of insects attack only dead or de- caying trees, and these form a breeding place for many other varieties of insect —Here is a well-recommended white- wash : For 10 gallons use 25 pounds of common lime slaked with boiling water ; 5 pounds of clean wood ashes ; 10 pounds of melted beef tallow ; 2 pounds of com- moo salt, and one-half pound of glue, dis- solved. Add any dry mineral paint to col- or, such as burnt umber, yellow ochre or mineral red. Mix all while hot and apply while warm, keeping it well stirred. —A few years ago there was a fa- rore made over the newly invented ‘‘oram- ming machive,’’ a device, as one mao de- eoribed is, ‘for making a chicken eas, whether it wanted to of not.’ It was dis- covered that the digestive apparatus of the chicken, however unimparable, could not stand the cramming for long. Two weeks was found to be long enough, and for this length of time. the game did not pay for the ammunition, There is no bet- ter way than good feeding in the old-fash- ioned way. —Dried brewers’ grains rank olose to bran in [feeding value, containing a little more protein and fas, but not quite so much carbohydrates. It is clai that in le dre an al ue 8 n, e of carhohy- drates and 5.1 pounds of fat. Malt # ta and dried brewers’ grains are valuable cow feeds, especially the latter. ta are richest in protein, but not m relished by cows and should be fed only in limised quantities. Wet brewers’ grains are apt to injare the quality of the milk. A A Directing Folks In Boston. The stranger had been searching pearly half an hour among the mys- _| terious curving ways of the park for Fenway street. At last the trim figure of a hurrying student attracted her eye, and she resolved to ask for the necessary information, “Can you tell me, please, where Fen- way street 187” she asked. “Yes, indeed,” answered the student. “Why, we're In it now.” “Yes?' The stranger looked rather pelplessly around at the wealth of shrubbery, the smooth roads that seemed to lead only to Mrs, Gardner's green roofed palace. “But I wanted to find a certain number on Fenway street.” “Oh!” said the student, a helpless ex- pression for a moment clouding her face. “Do you know, there's a street down there.” She pointed a daintily gloved hand straight into a clump of elms. “1 don’t know the name of it. I never did know that it had a name. Why don't you try that one?’—Boston Her- ald. Pretty Strong Lungs. In “Through Luzon on Highways and Byways” the author, a naval offi- cer, tells this expausive story. We vouch for the story only, not for the facts: While traversing this attractive coun- try, which offers so much to tempt the husbandman, we met with no sign of life until nearing a village, where could be seen native hunters after deer and carabao. The carabao furnishes a fine quality of meat and has a peculiar, instinctive trait in being the only deni- zen of the forest that can protect it- self against the boa constrictors, which are somewhat numerous in these parts. When the carabao Is pounced upon by the boa and the reptile has wrapped itself round the body for the squeezing process of killing the animal, the cara- bao slowly draws in its sides until the boa has his grip fixed securely and begins to tighten up, when suddenly the carabao inflates his lungs to their fullest and spreads his sides, tearing the vertebrae of the reptile into a thou- sand pleces. How Tea Lead Is Made. Tea lead for lining tea chests is su- perior at least from the standpoint of “yeapuess to any other metal. Accord- x to an article In the Brass World, tiie method practiced by the Chinese in the manufacture of tea lead is to press molten lead between two flat stones. The excess of lead is melted in an iron kettle by a direct fire underneath. Rice paper Is carefully smoothed down over the surface of the stones to supply a nonconductor of heat and thus pre vent the chilling of the lead. The stones are now placed flat upon the ground and the upper one raised a short distance, with one edge resting upon the lower stone. In other words, the stones are opened like a book. A ladle full of melted lead is now poured in between the stones, and the top one is quickly dropped. The lead is squeez- ed out until only a thin layer is left. Tea lead usually runs from .005 to .10 inch in thickness. An Untamed Marquis. The father of the Marquis of Bute had an amusing experience in the neighborhood of Rothesay. He met a cockney traveler who asked to be di- rected to a certain place. Deceived by the marquis’ accent, the visitor took him for a southron and took oceasion to make supercilious remarks about the barbarous islanders of Bute. He sald, “Blime me, I suppose you're like me, an Englishman?’ “No,” responded the marquis; “I"m a native of Bute, this island.” “Good gracious!” exclaimed the Lon- doner, in amazement. “Then who in the dooce tamed yer?” Lord Bute assumed a fierce expres- slon and, raising a ponderous cudgel he was carrying, sald angrily, “Who says I'm tame?’ The alarmed cock- ney turned and fled.—Pall Mall Gazette. Two Cures For the Blues. “What do you do when you have the blues?” asked the first woman. “I walk up Fifth avenue and look In ail the jewelers’ windows and at the orchids and high priced hats. What do you do?” “I go way down to Rivington street and look at the wretched poor women with seventeen children struggling In the dirt. That makes me thankful my affairs are no worse.” — New York Press. its Worth. The actress, having been arrested for running her automobile seventy miles an hour, was describing the superb car to a reporter. The young man inquired: “How much did you say it was worth?” “At least two columns on the front page,” she answered absently.—Kan- sas City Independent. Shut Her Off. First Deaf Mute (making signs)— Did your wife complain because you stayed out till after midnight? Second Deaf Mute (chuckling)—Did she? You should have seen her!

Now, Jimmy, where do we obtain feathers? Jimmy— From feather beds, miss. i A May Do It Now. “In the olden times it is sald that it was possible for a man to render him- self invisible.” “Pshaw! That's not at all remarka- ble. Men in this country are doing it every day.” “You don't say so! manage it? “By marrying famous women!" How do they How It Was Becoming. “That dress is becoming, my dear,” sald the man who thinks he is a diplo- mat. She looked at him coldly for a mo- ment aud then replied: “Yes. It is becoming threadbare.” Ignorance Not Bliss. “There is a certain gnawing uncer- tainty about calling on people who speak a different language from their servants,” remarked the woman who does. “You can never tell whether they are saying, ‘Make another cup of tea, Katie: 1 have company,’ or ‘She always drops in about tea time, con- found her! Pour some more hot water in the pot’ "—New York Press. Saw For Himself.
