Bellefonte, Pa., May 15, 1908.
—Green grass as a mulch rots too quick-
iy.
—The poor farm will grow taxes if noth”
ing else. .
—Weed out the star boarders from your
cow herd.
—Young man, wash the buggy before
the mud dries.
—Bash lima beans should be set two feet
apart in the rows.
—Good grade dratt horses are still in de-
mand. Raise a few.
—In harvest time a scythe in the hand
is worth two in a tree.
—Mow the weeds by the highway and
scatter blue grass seed.
—A good habit to get—cleaning out the
hen house twice a week. .
—Try to keep seed out of the ground
until it bas been made fit.
—Don’t be unreasonable. The negleoted
flock will not remember you.
Farm folks need the smile just as much
as the crops need the sunshive.
—Don’t waste the summer's profits by
shiftless winter care and feeding.
—1It is easier to raise a good horse than
to pick one up when wanted. Remember
thas.
—The late peasshould be planted deep-
er, 80 they will stand the dry spells bet-
ser.
—Even crows save more for the farmer
each year than they destroy in a life time,
long as they live.
—Saltpeter water—one ounce of salt-
ter to a gallon of water—is a good spray
p rust on bean vines and bushes.
—The ground should never be allowed
to become baked, as in this condition a
great deal of moisture is lost, unnecessarily.
--The small stomach of a horse indicates
the impropriety of long fasting. Feed
three times a day at all times of the year.
—Cultivation is a moisture conservator,
but if the ground iadry don’t run the culti-
vator teeth deep; keep the top soil stirred
only.
—The chief causes of bone spavin are
working a colt too young, fast driving over
slippery roads and jerking and stopping
the colt too quickly.
—A hog fed on sour swill, decayed vege-
tables and other offal is not fit for food,
and there/should be a punishment to fis the
crime of such feeding.
—One pound of formalin to 30 gallons of
water is recommended for treating seed po-
tatoes for scabs. Soak the potatoes in this
for about an hour and a ball.
—The few soattering trees in the fence
corners are frequently veritable breeding
places for insect pests. They should be
given just as much attention as the trees
in the orchard.
—A large majority of gardeners and
farmers never properly estimate the ad-
vantage of thinning their o It strict
ly adhered to the yield would be greatly
increased and the quality greatly improved.
—Ensilage corn and red clover are two
of the surest and best crops that the dairy
farmers of Pennsylvania can grow. Let
those grow alfalfa who can, but corn and
red clover will probably long remain the
staple crops.
—The sheep-killing dog shonld be placed
on the same footing as ove affiicted with
hydrophobia. Nobody asks any questions
regarding what should be done with a rabid
animal, yet a sheep thief does ten times
mors damage than a mad dog.
—Never allow old wood of raspberries
or blackberries to lie around. Barn every
bis of it. When the new wood is 18 inches
high, pinch off to allow lateral growth in
the raspberries, but let the blackberries
grow to three feet before doing this.
—Spraying grain fields with a solution
of sulphate of iron as a means of killing
mustard is an idea which is gaining ereat
prominence in the grain-raising region of
the northwest. It seemn to he a press
well-established fact that the scheme
practical.
~The strawberry bed should be on an
elevated plot of land, so drainage will he
pertect. If it is not, ditoh it out so water
will not stand on the plants after a rain.
While the plants need an abundance of
moistare, they will perish if there is an
excessive supply of water.
It ia claimed thas plaster and salt, two
parts of the former to one part oI the lat-
ter, dropped on the hills of corn--or potash
in the form of kainit--will have a good ef-
feos in keeping away out worms, and be-
sides will fertilize the corn. A very small
amount is all that is required.
«..Brood mares should be fed liberally,
but not to excess. They should have the
best quality of well-cured hay, cats and
bran. Mouldy hay that has been heated
300s cow oF bale, OMY date 41d bran
t has soured will not supply the proper
notrimens for producing pA winners.
~—There is no danger of getting the soil
too rioh for strawberries. Soil that will
raise good potatoes will raise good straw-
berries. Chip dirs or well-rotted manure,
with a listle commercial potash and rook
te applied with the manure a year
the plants are ses, make good fer-
tilizers
~The fruit grower who makes apples,
peaches, pears and plums his slty may
also add poultry to bis as the
birds can occupy the same ground with the
trees. The orchard vides shade for
poultry in summer, while the fowls greatly
assist in the destruotion of many insects
thas infest she orobard.
—It you have asmall amount of oream
do not skim so closely and add some milk.
Put in a little starter and warm i$ by put-
ting the oream can in warm water, con-
stantly stirring until the r temper-
atare is obtained, when A will quickly
ripen,
A little buttermilk saved from a previous
churning is a good starter.
You will need to take extra pains to
bave your milk clean and free from odors
now. But you ead do is by taking care to
wipe the udders off clean, and by bedding
the cows, and ourrying them every day.
Don’t miss any of these things.

The Fleet at San Francisco.
With San Francisco on tiptoe to greet
them. the Atlantic battleship fleet,
with Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans
in command, entered San Francisco
bay through the Gulden Gate, making
the greatest paval spectacle ever seen
on the Pacific cost, an event to which
the people of California have looked
forward ever since the battleships left
F- -pton Roads on their long cruise
on Dec. 1 last.
Conservative estimates are that half
a million persons witnessed the en-
trance of the fleet from the various
hills of San Francisco, not to mention
hundreds of thousands who viewed it
from the Oakland, Berkeley and Ma-
rine county shores. Admiral Evans
has relinquished command of the fleet
to Admiral Thomas, and is returning
to Washington.
A Sensational Suicide.
While suffering from temporary in-
sanity, Mrs. Elizabeth McPhilomy, of
Wayne, Pa. committed suicide on an
open lot near the home of her sister
in Philadelphia by cutting her throat
with a butcher knife under tragic cir-
cumstances.
She was visiting her sister, and
while scantily clad left the house and
was followed by her brother-in-law,
who heard her get out of bed. As he
approached her on the lot tue woman
drew the knife across her throat.
Then she ran on again, followed by
the brother-in-law, but after going
about 100 yards, Mrs. McPhilomy
dropped dead.
Boy Laid Low By Rooster.
Charles, the three-year-old son of
Lincoln Horn, of Donaldson, Pa., was
attacked by a game rooster and so
badly injured that he lies in a critical
condition.
Little Charles was taken into the
chicken yard by an older brother,
while the latter fed the fowls.
The game bird attacked the boy
with his wings and beak and knocked
him down, inflicting a deep scalp
wound, and then the rooster repeatedly
plunged his spurs through the child's
cheeks and temples, so that the little
one's life is despaired of.
Jersey Delegates to Chicago Free.
The New Jersey Republican state
convention, which was held at Tren
ton to select delegates to attend the
national convention at Chicago, named
a delegation that is uninstructed. The
convention also voted down resolutions
endorsing the candidacy of Secretary
Taft for president and favoring the re
nomination of President Roosevelt.
A resolution favoring former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy for vice presi
dent was adopted without opposition
The delegates-at-large are as fol
lows: Governor Fort, Frank O. Briggs
John Kean and David Baird.
Baby Weighs Only 1 34 Lbs. at Birth
Dr. A. J. Colborn, of Connellsville
Pa., has furnished an affidavit with
the story of the smallest baby that
was ever born alive and healthy ir
Western Pennsylvania, a one-and
three-quarter-pound girl, which arrived
Sunday at the home of George Hert
zog, at Morrell, Pa. The baby is the
second born to Mr. and Mrs. Hertzog
The first was a boy weighing two and
one-half pounds at birth. Now, at the
age of twenty-two months, it is as lusty
as the ordinary child. Its newly
arrived sister is fully developed, and
although not at all lusty, will live.
Girl's Life Worth $1500.
Fifteen hundred dollars is the price
of a girl's life, as set by a jury in the
Cumberland county court at Millville
N.J. In April of 1907 a huge brick stack
fell at the glass works of the T. C
Wheaton company and killed Lydis
Thurston, Lena Doughty and Sylvis
Gallagher. Their parents brought dam
age suts. Witnesses testified that the
stack leaned eight or nine inches and
rocked in the wind. The jury delib
erated a short time and awarded $150C
in each case.
Tried to Cremate Wife.
While in a jealous rage, John Cush
ner, of Kulpmont, near Shamokin, Pa.
thrust his wife in to a dough tray
and after stuffing some paper around
her, is alleged to have ignited it. She
was frightfully burned, and physicians
fear she cannot recover. Cushner was
arrested, along with John Cardish, whe
is accused of helping Cushner in his
attempt to cremate the woman.
Fined $1300 For Selling Oleo.
John J. Lenderman, head of the
Dundee Creamery company, of Pitts
burg, and N. E. Burns, his agent, were
fined $100 and costs at Pottsville,
Pa., on each of thirteen indictments
for illegal sale of oleo in Schuylkill
county. The men had been engaged
in the business extensively, and over
a ton of oleo was confiscated in the
western part of Schuylkill county.
President Returns From Virginia.
President Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt
and John Burroughs, who have been
spending several days at Pine Knot,
Mrs. Roosevelt's country place, near
Charlottesville, Va., returned to Wash-
ington Sunday night. The president
expressed himself as greatly pleased
with his outing. He wore a “rough
rider” campaign hat, and appeared to
be refreshed by his stay at Pine Knot.
Boy Shoots Himself.
Otto Voorhees, a nine-teen-year-old
farm hand, killed himself at Mercers-
ville, N. J. The boy shot himself in the
head. It is said he had been drink
ing, and this is the only known cause
for the deed.
Swarthmore to Quit Football.
At a meeting of the student body
of Swarthmore college announcement
was made by President Swain that on
the recommendation of the faculty
committee on athletics it had been
determined to abandon football and
basket ball intercollegiate games for
a period of not less than one year.
Locked Children In Burning Home.
Jim Kennedy, a well-known negro of
Montgomery, Ala. locked up his scven
children in his house and then set the
house on fire, Five of the seven were
burned to death. Two were rescued
by neighbors. Kennedy is in jail.
Catches Baby on the Fly.
Truman First, a two-year-old child,
fell from a balcony on the third floor
of his home at Harrisburg, Pa. His
mother, who was walking beneath,
caught him and the child was unhurt,
Bishop Brent Succeeds Satterlee,
Bishop Charles N. Brent, Episcopal
bishop of the Philippines, was elected
bishop of the diocese of Washington,
to succeed the late Right Rev. Heary
Y. Satterlee.
Farming in Texas is Now Thing of
Profit.
Agrienltural training in the public
schools has become the popular shibboleth
in Texas in the past two years. In political
conventions and mass meetings the Texans
have gone on record in no uncertain fash-
ion in favor of the newest movement in
education. As rapidly as possible a system
of agricultural training is being developed
io the pablie schools. In many Texas
towns school gardens have been established
to make the training practical and eflect-
ive. Already the success of these school
gardens is demonstrated and the next step
—that of establishing school farms on a
large scale—is under consideration and
will inevitably come.
San Antonio has taken the lead in this
work aud has already the most extensive
and effective school gardens in the State.
Fresh impetus has just been given this
branch of popular education by the gift of
two plant laboratories surronnded by an
acre of ground by George W. Brackenridge,
a capitalist and philanthropist of this city.
This land lies in the city limits and ie
available for training of advanced students,
This is the preliminary step toward
establishing a school farm a little later.
Large gifts of land and money bave also
been made by citizens here to establish an
agricultural training school for dependent
and delinquent children. It will be known
as the Southwest Texas Juvenile Training
School, aud will be operated in connection
with the Juvenile courts established by
the last Legislatore. A charter for this
institution bas been applied for and its es-
tablishment is ouly a matter of organiza-
tion and detail.
It is but natural that such an education-
al movement should develop in Texas,
which is primarily an agricultural State.
Of the 167,000,000 acres of land in Texas it
is estimated that nearly 100,000,000 acres
are arable; of these less than 14,000,000 are
in oultivation. Already in the breaking
up of the old cattle ranches an immense ag-
rionltural development has begun in this
State, and the growing scarcity of cheap
and prodnotive lands will inevitably carry
it to still greater proportions. Consequent-
ly agrionitural training of a scientific char-
aoter is the most urgent need of the rising
generation.
Farmers in Sonthwest Texas have learned
to combine in marketing their products. By
means of truck growers’ and fruit growers’
associations they are reaping immensely
greater profits. For example, the Soutb-
ern Texas Truck Growers’ Association in
1907 increased their receipts for the onion
crop over 100 per cent. on a orop that filled
742 oars, or four carloads less than that of
the preceding year.
“I am truly giateful to you for what
iw did for me winter,” writes Mrs.
ward Smith, of Jeddo, Orleans Co., N.
Y. “Your Invalids’ Hotel is truly a home
for the sick.” The Invalidse’ Hotel and
Surgical Inssitate, Buffalo, N. Y., presided
over by Dr. R. V. Pierce amisted hy nearly
a score of specialists, is always full of men
and women seeking a cure of chronic
diseases. Bat no Hotel or Institute would
