Bellefonte, Pa., August 28. 1908,
FARM NOTES.
—It is said that a ben has the capacity
of laying 600 eggs in ber lile time and no |
more.
—The mav who can’t treat his domb
avimals kindly will not make she right
kind of a husband.
—The farmers of the United States last |
year purchased more shan $112,000,000
worth of farming implements.
—It is estimated that the orcbard pests |
do over $30,000,600 worth of damage to |
the fruit of the country every year. !
—The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates the corn crop this year at 2,700,000,- |
000 bushels, valued at ahout §1,250,000,-
000.
—A horse can carry on his back a dis-
tance of 20 miles a day ~n a well made
road, without exertion, from 250 to 300
pounds.
—The dairy cow is of thieefold value :
She produces a coustent income, she pro-
duces a valuable offspring, and she im-
proves the quality of the farm.
—1I¢ bas been found that fowls with deep,
auguiar breasthones have to he fed longer
to make them look well, and they consume
considerably more feed than those having
plump breastbones.
~—William Jenniogs Bryan says he 1s
not much of a farmer, hut bas observed
that the watermelon seed has the power of
drawing from the ground and through is-
sell, 2000 times ite weight.
—A cow owned by William Maher, of |
Sheffield, Illinois, gave birth to three good
sized and perfectly developed calves. She
is ball Jersey and raised the calves the
first three weeks on her own milk.
i
—The bees are more easily angered in
Aagast than daring any other period of
the year. Honey is scarce in the fields, |
and ifany is left open about the house they |
will surely hunt for it, and sting ernelly if |
disturbed, |
—When a horse ie noticed rubbing his |
tail at the root it is an indication that be |
is troubled with worms. Equal parts of |
salt and bard wood ashes mixed,a teaspoon-
ful at a time now and then in the grain, is
a good remedy.
—There are ahout seven million farms
in the United States. In 1907 the value |
of the products from these farms was $7,- |
412,000,000. The average for each farm is |
about $1058. This means gross products |
whether consumed on the farm or sold in
the market.
—I¢t is claimed that it was Horace Gree-
ly who advised “‘planting potatoes in the |
moon, weaning calves and habies when the |
ign of the zodiac was right, killing hogs
in the early part of ‘the moon's phases, so
the meat wonld not shrink in cooking,”
and many other popular fallacies.
—While on actual analysis it does not
contain all of she plans-food needed hy the
growing crop, barnyard manure really re-
taros to the soil nearly all the elements
taken by the crop, by making available the
surplus plant fod existing in the soil, but
useless for assimilation hy the plant tili
rendered active by fermentation.
—Ib order to bave as thorough churning
as possible the temperature of the cream
should not be over 58 degrees. While the
butter is in the granular form, the charn-
ing is to he stopped. Theu draw the haut.
termilk from the churn and wash the but.
ter and salt while yet in the granular form.
For the taste of most people, one ounce of
ealt to the pound of batter is about right.
—8Spontaneous combustion of clover hay
happens under the following conditions :
Hay, 15 to 20 feet deep ; centre of mow
packed bard, sides loose ; mow mnoh open
to the weather. Prevention: Keep hay
evenly distributed over the mow while
being stored, and regulate the ventilation
if possibie, so as to have the air circulate
over the top of the bay rather than through
it.
—The medium-sized hog is now
most i) favor. Hogs weighing from
300 to 600 pounds or more, were
once thought to be ideal, but it be
came apparent to swine growers that every
day a hog lived over one vear it was losing
mouoey for its owner. Now hogs are so
managed and fed that in eight or ten
months they are large enough to meet she
popular demand.
—The inhabitants of the Island of Jer.
sey, from whence came the celebrated
Jersey cattle, have a very simple way of
testing milk to tell pare from impure,
They simply boil the milk in an enameled
sauce pan. If it boils without curdling it
is said to be fis for use. If it cardles he.
fore it begins to boil, they consider it im-
pure, and it is vot used as food by the
people or their most valuable calves.
—An English stock journal selis of a fa-
mous veterinary surgeon who was once
called on to decide a question of blindness
in a horse, concerning which $wo London
vets, differed. He entered the yard where
the horse stood and, without examining
the animal’s eyes, ordered a halter to he
put on him and an empty bucket to be
placed in the middle of the yard. Then
takiog the balter he led the horse in a di-
rect line for the baoket. The borse went
forward and blundered over it with his
forelegs. ‘‘Blind, without a doubt,” was
the verdiot.
—Guaranteed milk has heen on the
market fora few years, and now comes
‘‘Mapes, the hen man,” with guaranteed
egge—eges guaranteed to he germless,
There is no secret connected with the pro-
duction of germless eggs, except that no
male birde are allowed in the pens. Mr.
Mapes puts his eggs in sealed packages, one
dozen each, with a printed guarantee that
they are germless—will not batch or be-
come addled—and he olaims that they will
keep in good condition for cooking and eat-
ing for weeks and months in ordioary sur-
roundings, summer or winter.
—The following wash is recommended
for apple tree borers : Dissolve as much
common washing soda as possible in six
gallons of water ; then dissolve one gallon
of ordinary soft soap in the above ; slake a
quantity of lime to a thick paste and add
enough of this to the above mixtare to
make a thick whitewash, which will stay
upon the tree an eighth of an inoh or so in
thickness. It is better to sorape off all
the loose bark possible from the tronks
and main limbs of the trees and also re-
move the earth from the base and scrape
the loose bark from this. Apply the wash
liberally from the main limbs to the
ground, covering all portions of the bark.
The dirt can then be placed about she base
of the tree as before.
Charged With Stealing $173,000.
The mystery of the theft of $173.
#00 from the United States sub-
treasury at Chicago 2 year and a half
ago, one of the largest losses the gov-
ernment hes ever suffered in this man
ner, is believed to have been solved by
the arrest ot George W. Fitzgeraidl.
Others are believed to have been im-
plicated in the crime, which for many
months completely bafie¢ government
secret service men.
Fitzgerald was an assorting teller
under Assistant United States Treas-
urer William Boldenweck. Suspicio:
at the time of the theft, Feb. 20, 1907,
rested on him, but so plausible was
his story and so intense his appareu:
interest in discovering the real cu.
prit that interest ceased to centre ir
nim. Much work was done on the
theory that the crime had been per
petrated by a colored man. Mean-
while Fitzgerald was discharged fron
! the government employ for culpabie
negligence in allowing such a theft: to
be consummated under his very eyes.
The theft created a sensation
throughout the country, and congress
at the last session was asked and re
fused to release Assistant Treasuror
Boldenweck from liability, although it
was promised that congress woull
again consider the matter at its next
session.
Meanwhile Herbert F. Young. hea!
of the Young secret service agenc.,
became interested in the case, at fir 1
without official connection with the
case, but later as the agent of Mr. B.i.
denweck. Mr. Young's attention was
redirected te Fitzgerald. According
to Mr. Young, Fitzgerald embarked iu
speculation on a scale not consisten:
with the size of his reputed mean:
There was, however, no ostentation in
Fitzgerald's life. The lavish display
which detectives invariably look for
in tracing stolen funds was absent.
Fitzgerald bought eggs for specula
tion and stored them. In July, 1997
he inaugurated an egg deal which uit!
mately, it is stated, involved an cx
penditure of $7000, and the followin=2
March a similar deal involved him. a~
cording to Mr. Young, to the extent ci
$15,000. His wife also bought a resi
dence for $8500 in Rogers Park, a
suburb of Chicago.
Assistant States Attorney Barbour
was approached, and Judge Chetlain
at his home issued a bench warran
for the arrest of Fitzgerald, charging
him with the larceny of $173,000 from
the government vaults,
Killed In Gasoline Explosion.
Harry Wildasin, aged thirty-six vears
was killed and three others were sr
iously injured, following an explosior
of gasoline in the shops of the Westerr
Maryland railroad company, at Hano
ver, Pa. Wildasin, who was forema

Bitten By Spider, She Loses Finger.
As the result of being bitten on the
finger by a large spkier, Mrs, Raymond
Ditrick, Morrisville, Pa., had one of
her fingers amputated at St. Fran-
cis’ hospital, Trenton, in order to save
her life. Bloed poisoning had set in.
A Horse's Toe Nails.
Few persous realize that a horse's
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails of human beings or of ani
mals having toes. The horn of a hoof
grows just as a toe nail does. The
boo! grows more rapidly In unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and It grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about a
third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe
of the hoof being the longest part, it
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For in-
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
in from eleven to thirteen months,
while the heel will grow down in from
three to five months. As the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects in the
old gradually work down to where
they can be cut off, just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress
of a bruise from the roof to the tip.—
New York Sun.
Dictionary Users Modest.
“Men are never so modes* as when
they go to use a dictionary.” remarked
an attendant at the public library.
“As a rule, when you see a man go to
a public dictionary or one in any place
where other people are around you'll
see him look about furtively as if in
fear somebody might see him. Men
who make no pretensions at having
any great amount of knowledge never-
theless seem to. be embarrassed to
have any one think that they do not
know the pronunciation or meaning of
some English word. The next time
you see a man looking up a word In
the dictionary just ask him what it is
he is looking up and see if he will tel)
you. You'll find In at least nine cases
out of ten that he won't tell you. He's
afraid yo#'ll know it and have the fun
of enlightening him." —Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
A Bibliophile’s Reply.
Mandell Creighton, who was bishop
of London, had a horror of lending
his favorite books. A fellow ciergy-
man ounce visited the bishep and took
a fancy to an old edition of Shake-
speare, He borrowed the volume and
did not think to return it for several
months. Finally the minister returned
it with a letter, saying, “My Dear
Bishop—I have great pleasure in re-
turning the volume you lent me.”
The bishop answered, “My Dear
Brother—All the joy is mine.”
Her Progress.
“The last time T saw you you were
complaining about your servant being
so slow.”
“Oh, she's progressing now.”
“Is she really?
“Yes. She's getting slower and slow-
er.” —Exchange.
The Realistic Actor.
“Does he believe in realism?”
“Yes. But he carries it to excess.
In the second scene he is severely
wounded, and he has a doctor issue
bulletins between the acts.”—Louis-
ville Courier-Journal.
Hot Retort.
The Writer—Ah, laugh at me if
you will, but I will write of you in my
Journal that which will make you
sick! The Artist — Everything that
m'sieur writes makes me sick.—Life.
What ripens fast does not last.—
Shakespeare.
Not Entirely One.
“And so they were made one.”
“Oh, I don’t know. I believe she stil}
has a mind of her own.”
Sin and Sickness.
If there were no sin there would be no
sickness, for sin ie the ‘‘transgression of
law,’’ and sickness is the punishment of
that transgressson. Nature accepts no ex-
onsen. She punishes the malicious law
breaker no more harshly than she punishes
the little child who breaks the law in ig-
norance. And yet suffering through igno-
rance appeals pathetically to the human
heart. It in sad to see the young woman
suffering in consequence of ignorance, her
body racked with pain. Dr. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription comes as a God-send to
those, who through ignorance, bave allow-
ed disease to fasten on the delicate woman-
ly organs. It always belps. It almost al-

Plenty of evidence to prove this,
Mrs, Catharine Gross, living on Valen-

sults, At the time taking them I
was suftering from backache snd kidoey

(From a statement given in 1904.)
A LASTING CURE.
On Oct, 21, 1907, Mrs. Gross confirmed
the above statement in the following
words: “It gives me pleasure to state
that I have not had occasion to use Doan's
Kidney Pills since they cured me some
years ago, and | gladly re-endorse them."
