Bellefonte, Pa. April 9. 1909. FARM NOTES. —Shear the sheep early. — When a cow is a little off, never put milk in with the rest. ~—1It is said that the farmers of this coun- try last year loss $800 000,000 from injor- ions insects. —Apply the Baboock test and be goided by its teachiug and than shals bave gold both to spend and to lend. —To milk a cow clean, and without fret- ting her, is an act thot shonld be looked apon as an accomplishment, —Cows are used to eating with their heads low, so it is a mistake to have the manger high. Some dairymen bave them on a level with the floor. —Dip the sheep immediately after shear- ing, and again in about three weeks to de- stroy eggs and all ticks thas may bave es- caped at the first dipping. —Extra dry shelter and bedding should be provided for sows that farrow in the spring. Pigs can stand considerable cold as long as they are kept dry. —1I1 the young pigs should show signs of loosenese of the bow!s, shus off all feed to the sow hut dry oats for a day or two, and the trouble will usually disappear. —A broiler chicken will shrink as much a8 a hall-pound after being dressed. Live boilers shoald be shipped at 3 to 4 pounds pair, aud dressed not noder 2} pounds per pair. —The lambs should be dipped at the eame time; for when the ewes are shorn, the ticks flock on the lamba. Do not leave them out in the spring raivs. —1I¢ is reported that Pennsylvania farm: ers are being annoyed hy hogus inspeotors of cattle, which should be stopped. Some of the real inspectors from the city are bad enough. —Blind the hogs shat have the habit of eating ohickens by hanging a strip of tio, four inches in size, from their ears. This will stop them when almost everything else has failed. —1It is said that the potatoes grown in Germany and Ireland are so inferior in uality to those grown in the United tates, that there need be no fear of foreign competition in thas line. —A Swedish bee keeper, who recently visited this conntry, brought with him bis summer's make of honey, amounting to 30.000 pounds, for which be received about $4500. There is money in honey for the man who knows how. —When pruning frait trees keep the low head in mind. Trees of this kind suffer less from sun-scald, and the fruit is easier to gather. It is claimed that the fruit will color hetter, and surely low-heads will stand hard winds better than tall trees, —Walnat trees begin to bear at about eight years. Black walnut timber is of little value for posts, but is valuable for other purposes. Black walnuts and locusts have been known to grow sprouts from the stumps six to eight fees high in one som. mer. —Fat poultry —baut not hog fat—is pret- ty sure to always bring a good price. On e other band, it hardly pays to shippoor, sorawny stock. If shipped together in ove fos she scrawny ones - will cause the good ones to he cat down in price. It is profit. able to sort and ship in separate lots. —The market weights for roasting fowls varies from 2} to 3 pounds, according to the season. Small bone, short legs and weil-ronnded form are good pointe desir- able. The early roaster markets call for light-weight birds, the weight gradually increasing until late fall and early win- ter. ~The gasoline exgine requires about one pint of gasoline for each horsepower per nour, or one gallon for each horsepower for eight hours’ running. Thus a two-horse- power ne will use about two gallons in eight bours. Figuring gasoline at 15 cents per gallon, this engine could be run yg hours for 30 cents’ worth of gaso- e. — Horsemen are particular to use proper horse terms in speaking to horses and horse paraphernalia. Two horses are a pair, and three horses are a team. In New Eog- land and expression. ‘‘Here comes a horse and team” very often means thas the horse is drawing a wagon. Farmers usually refer to a pair of horses asa team, but it is just as easy to be particular and have things right. —The belief is held by some tbat woll teeth and bad eyes are practically the same, bat it has been proved thas there is no connection whatever between the two. The blindness which is noticed with some oolts having wolf teeth is what is known as “‘moon-blindness,’”’ and is incurable and inherited by the offspring. It can be pre- vented only by not breeding mares that are afflioted with is. —Looust trees should be given shallow oultivation next to the trees. Cutting and barking the roots causes sprouting. Some prefer to plant the trees in rows 10 feet apart aud five feet apart iv the row. Two rows of cow peas, corn or potatoes oan he planted the first $wo or three years; after that the. S1onud may be Sows 30 Siover and pastured to ves or hogs. Fall-grown stook might damage the trees. —1It is reported that large stock yards, riveling in capacity those of the West, are to be constructed on the Hackensack mead- ows, in New Jersey. In connection with the yards there will bea modern slaughter house, designed to supply cheaper and fresher meat for Greater New York and vicinity, as well as to compete with the world’s trade. The organization, it is said, has been capitalized for $10,000,000. Fuf- teen hundred acres will be used. ~The new-born colt must have milk during tbe firet ball hour of ite life, or the ohanoes are that it will die. See that the colt is strong enough to start the milk. If it ia nos, help it. The firet milk is necessary as it causes the bowls to move naturally. It there is any serious constipation, give a little castor-otl, or give injectiovs of soap a » quiet, and feed carefull mare qu y for a week or ten days, when she be tarned in GOT THE A Pledge That Was Freely Given and That Was Easily Kept. It is related of a certain candidate for office in a certain Kansas campaign that he billed himself for a speech in a southern Kansas town on a certain October day and wrote ahead to a number of friends there to give him “tips.” One of them told him to see a cer- tain colored man upon his arrival in the town. “If you can get the vote of this negro,” wrote the friend, “you can get the vote of the whole negro popu- lation in this town. Don’t fail to see him and get him to your way of think- ing.” About the first thing the candidate did after registering at the hotel was to look up this negro. It was only a little while after the introduction that he was calling the negro by his given name, filling his pockets with cigars, passing him compliments and general- ly “giving him the taffy.” The negro took it all and enjoyed the occasion immensely. The candidate spent sev- eral hours in the negro's company and after he thought the proper degree of warmth had been obtained broached the real object of his friendship: “Say, John, I want the negro vote of this town.” “All right.” replied John. fo' you, sah. fo' you, sah.” “That's all right,” said the candi- date. “That's all right. I'm sure you will. I'm sure you will. But I want to have the whole negro vote of this town. I want to get all.” “Dat's all right,” responded the ne- “I'll vote I'll vote fo' you. I'm gro. “I done said I'd vote fo’ you. I'm yo' friend. I'll suttinly cast my vote fo' you." “But, say. John, 1 know that,” said the candidate, “See here, I'll be frank. The fellows told me that you are a big man among the colored folks down here and that if I got your vote I'd get the whole negro vote in this place. Do you eatch on?” “Sho,” replied John. “Sho 1 do. You'll git de whole niggah vote, all right. Dey won't be trouble 'bout dat sah. You see, I'm de only niggah in dis here whole town.”—Mobile Regis- ter. FEATS OF STRENGTH. A Blacksmith Who Fairly Outdid Au- gustus the Strong. Not all the world’s strong men have been performers on the public stage. Indeed, instances might be multiplied in which the feats of professionals have been equaled or excelled. Charles Louvier, a carpenter of Paris, found it chiid's play to roll a tin basin between his fingers into a cylinder. On one occasion he carried off a sol dier on guard who had gone to sleep in the sentry box and deposited both the box and the soldier on a low churchyard wall near by. Another man who sometimes found his great strength a source of amuse ment was a Danish locksmith, Knut Knudson. While standing in a win. dow ou the ground floor he lifted with one hand half a bullock from th shoulder of a butcher who was toiling past with his load. Augustus the Strong, the elector of Saxony, once entered a blacksmith's shop to have his horse shod. To show his suit how strong he was he picked up several horseshoes and broke one after the other, asking the blacksmith as he did so if be had no better. When it came to paying the bill the elector threw a silver piece on the anvil. It was a very thick coin. The blacksmith took it up and broke it in half, saying. “Pardon me, but I have given you a good horseshoe, and [ expect a good coin in return.” Another piece was offered him. He broke that and five or six others. Then the humiliated elector handed him a louis d'or, saying, “The others were probably made of bad metal, but this gold piece is good. 1 hope.” An Italian, Luigi Bertini of Milan, performed a similar feat. Besides horseshoes, he broke nails a finger thick. The Duke of Grammont, the minis. ter of Napoleon IIl. frequently aston- ished the women at court by bending a twenty franc piece in his hand.— New York Tribune. Early Italian Surgery. Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) tells of early Italian surgery. He had got a bit of chipped steel in his eye, “so far into the pupil that it was impossible to get it out, so that I was in very great danger of losing that eye. But the surgeon came to the rescue with the pigeons. The surgeon, making me lie upon my back, with a little knife opened a vein in each of their wings, so that the blood ran into my eye, and 1 was thereby greatly relieved. In the space of two days the bit of steel is- sued from my eye, and I found that I had received considerable ease and in a great measure recovered my sight.” Live and Learn. Among the words given out for analysis recently by a district school teacher in Pennsylvania was “bank: note.” The instructor's astonishment may be imagined when one male pupil! turned in the following unique paper: “Bank-note is a compound, primitive word, composed of ‘bank’ and ‘note. ‘Bank’ is a simple word, meaning the side of a stream: ‘note,’ to set down. ‘Bank-note,’ to set down by the side of a stream.”—Lippincott's.

WHOLE VOTE, | WOOD GOES TO POR it Is Rumored the General Was Sent to Isiand as Peacemaker. New York, April 6.—According to a report current here, General Leonard R. Wood sailed for Porto Rico on the GENERAL LEONARD WOOD. Coamo Saturday afternoon, presum- ably in connection with the recent trouble between the islanders and Gov- ernor Post. He was put on board the Coamo, it is said, by a war department tug from Governor's island. The officer in charge at headquar- ters on Governor's isiand refused eith- er to confirm or deny the report. THE PRESIDENTS SUMMER HOME Accepts Cottage at Manchester- by-the-Sea, Mass. Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., April 6.—The announcement was made that President Taft and his family are to make their summer home here this year. They are to occupy “The Glen- dyne,” the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Mitchell, in Magnolia avenue, and overlooking the ocean. Mrs. Taft and Mrs, Mitchell were schoolgirl chums, and ever since their graduation they have kept up and rather increased their friendship for each other. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are to go abroad this summer for a long tour in Europe. “The Glendyne" is ideally built and situated for being the summer home of President Taft and his family. It is amply large for the official establish- ment which the president will be com: pelled to bring with him here. “The Glendyne” for years has been consid: ered one of the most desirable of all the many splendid north shore sum- mer residences. Mrs. Mitchell, when she knew that Mrs. Taft had been considering many north shore summer residences and resorts in which to pass the hot sea gon, offered to place “The Glendyne” at her disposal. By reason of their long friendship the offer was accepted. BOAT UPSET; TWO DROWN Wilmington Men Lose Their Lives In Delaware River. Wilmington, Del, April 6. — John Bradley and Curtis Gray, residents of Wilmington and employes of the Charles Warner Co., were drowned by the capsizing of a rowboat in which they were returning to the company’s sand barge at Reedy island, to Dela- ware City. Their boat was found in the water, capsized. Gray's bady has been recovered, but Bradley's body has not been found. RAILROADS WIN VICTORY Supreme Court Says Kentucky Com. mission Can't Fix Interstate Rates, Washington, April 6.—The injunc- tion suit of the Kentucky railroads, in which the roads asked that the rail- road commission of Kentucky be re- strained from carrying into effect the order of the commission of June 20, 1906, fixing rates on interstate busi- ness in the state, was decided by the supreme court of the United States in favor of the roads. One Killed, Five Hurt In Fight. Brockwayville, Pa., April 6. — Jim Patsie was killed and four men and a woman were injured at West Clarion, a small town in this county, in a bat tle fought by Italians among them: selves, Festivities were in progress at one of their homes when Patsie ar rived. He was thrown out and disap: peared, returning later with a shotgun and several friends. A battle followed between those in the house and those outside, in which Patsie was almost instantly killed. Marched Out of Burning School. Pittsburg, April 6.—Between 600 and 700 pupils were safely marched out of the McKees Rocks public school in 2 saburb when the building was found to be on fire. When discovered the en- tire roof was in a blaze, but the fire drill was successfully employed and not one of the children was injured in any way. The building was practically destroyed. Inventor of Cotton Compress Dead. Shreveport, La., April 6.—Samuel H. Webb, inventor of the Webb cotton compress and president of a company of taht name, died suddenly at hie Tomcor home in Minden, La. GAVE THE SALUTE. | The Old Soldier Obeyed the Command of the Young Officer. i At Siboney during the Spanish-Amer- fean war a young lieutenant of a vol- unteer regiment was officer of the | guard one day, and as he was strutting | about in his new khaki uniform he no- ticed a man dressed in what looked | like the cast off clothes of a private soldier coming toward bim. i The man was apparently fifty-five to sixty years old. of dark compiexioi. with hair and mustache streaked with | gray, and was clad in a faded blue | army shirt. open at the neck. khaki | trousers covered with mud tucked into | boots in the same condition and a gray | campaign hat much the worse for | wear and having several holes cut in | it for ventilating purposes. i He was strolling along, with his hands in his pockets, and passed the | young lieutenant without a salute or a sign of recognition of his rank. This was more than the young offi- | cer's dignity could stand, and he stop- | ped the man with a sharp “Halt i there!” i The man halted and faced about. | and the lieutenant asked: { “Are you in the army?” | “Yes, sir.” was the reply. i “Regulars or volunteers?” i “Regulars, sir” i “Haven't you been In the service long enough to know that it is custom- ary to salute when you meet an officer | in uniform?" i “] know that, sir, but down here | we've sort of overlooked salutes and! ceremony.” | “Well. I haven't, and 1 want you to | understand it. Now, attention!” The man stood at attention. | | “Salute!” The salute was given. “How lonz have you been in the service?” “About thirty-five years, sir.” “Well, you bave learned something about army regulations and customs this morning. Remember who gave you the lesson and when you meet me in uniform salute. 1 am Lieutenant — of the —. Now, what's your name and regiment?’ The man who had received the les son bad been smiling slightly under his mustache. Now he straightened up, saluted ngain and replied: “General Adna R. Chaffee, sir, com- manding the —th division.” When the dazed lieutenant found the use of his tongue again and began to excuse himself the old general sald kindly: “That's all right, my boy. You were right. Of course you didn’t know. | suppose 1 do look pretty rough, and an enlisted man should salute an officer, even if we do overlook it sometimes. Always stick as closely to regulations as that and you will make a good offi- cer.” The old soldier nodded pleasantly ro the still bewildered young man and walked away.—New York Times. A Slight Difference. Uncle Bob, who lived in Washington and worked at the war department. was at the old home for a few days. Little Ted was a devout worshiper and tagged about after his uncle ail day long, listening to him and asking ques- tions. Finally he delivered himself of an important matter. “Uncle Bob.” he said, “do you ever see the president in Washington?” “Oh, yes: often. I see him nearly every day.” “Uncle Bob,” asked Ted solemnly. after careful thought, “does the presi dent see you?"—Woman’s Home Com- panion, Her Retort. it is always gratifying to meet a person who is contented with his lot. For that reascn it would be delightful to make the acquaintance of the wom- an who had the last word in a suffra- gist controversy. The writer of a suf- fragist communication in a newspaper wrote sadly that “woman is nothing but a female relative of man; the man is the noun, the woman is the preposi- tion." “Well, what do I care?’ was the triumphant retort. “The preposi- tion governs the noun.”—Youth's Com- panion. ' Highly Encouraging. One fine day, just as I was walking on, 1 got the trac (blue funk) and could not speak my lines. I turned hopelessly and with pleading eyes to- ward the leading lady, who could not go on with her part until I had spoken: but, for all help, she hissed at me from between her teeth, “Parle done, petit animal!” (Go on, speak, you little beast.) Of such was the “encourage- ment” I received on one memorable occasion.—Coquelin’s Reminiscences in London Telegraph.
