FARM NOTES.
—The March-hatched pullets will be
the early fall layers.
—Many icubator chicks are killed with
kindness by being overfed and kept too
warm.
—Make it a rule to count the biddies
every day. Some folks never do this.
‘They might be robbed and never know
it.
—1I have heard the advice given to feed
the chicks all they will kat up clean. That
won't do. They will eat up clean (the
first week or two) more than they have
any business eating.
—You can make money by getting a
good rooster right now. Mate him with
some of your best hens and set the eggs.
Your basket will get full a lot faster after
those pullets get to laying.
—Hard enough to set for three weeks,
without having to be gnawed at the time
by insect pests. Look at your setting hens
once in a while and be sure they are free
from enemies of this kind. widd
—Particularly at this season of the
year, do not set a hen until it is positive
that she is thoroughly broody. If she
does not have the full fever, she is apt to
desert her charge, after sitting a week or
two.
—Just as soon as the frost is out of the
ground it will do to sow onion and
peas. Beets, early potatoes, spinach, rad- |
ishes and lettuce may be planted early, |
too. Tender vegetables should wait until
April or May.
—As the weather is still cold, not more
than eleven eggs should be given a hen.
When a larger number is allowed, the
eggs are not sufficiently covered, and
those on the outer edges of the clutch
are likely to become chilled.
—It is a mistake to plant the same
types of vegetables in the same spot year
after year; keep them moving to prevent
insects and diseases from getting a foot-
hold, and.it is a mistake to forget thata
garden needs plant food in order to nour-
ish vegetables properly. Stable manure
and a sprinkle of bonemeal will do, nice- |
ly.
—The first shipment of Leghorn fowls
to America from Leghorn, Italy, was in
the year 1834. The variety immediately
became popular from its prolific laying |
and non-sitting qualities, holding the same |
place among poultry that the Jersey holds
among cattle. Leghorns are excellent
foragers, of lively, active, restless dis-
positions, and will pick up a good part of
their living, thriving best when allowed a
wide range.
—When you pack away hams and
shoulders for summer use, be sure that
they are well smoked and thoroughly
dried out. Powder each piece with pul-
verized Sulphur, slip it into a paper flour-
sack, tie each sack tightly, then pack, not |
too closely together, into a bin or large |
tight box filled with oats. We pack them |
each year in this manner in our oat bin, |
feeding out the oats to the hens as we
use the meat. No worms, maggots or |
other pests attack our meat supply.—Farm |
Journal.
i
—Do not rush to the conclusion that |
the little pigs need medicine every time!
they appear to be ill. In fact, the suck- |
ling pigs should rarely have medicine, no |
matter how ill they become. Give the
medicine to the sow instead. If the pigs
are scouring itis generally caused by too
much sour feed, espscially slop. Sour |
milk containing the whey should never
be fed to the sow. As soon as the ration |
has been changed, mix a little lime water
with the mother’s feed.
If this fails to effect a cure, add a pint
of coal tar disinfectant to each twenty
gallons of sweet slop and give the sow |
about a gallon of this ata feed. The
sow should be allowed to run on the pas- |
ture as much as she desires after she has |
been accustomed to it. If she has been |
in a dry pen till the pigs are large enough |
to follow her over the lots she should be
allowed on the pasture only about an
hour the first day. Then lengthen the
time a half hour each day till she has be-
come accustomed to the change of diet.
A sudden change from the dry lot to green
pasture may cause serious derangement |
of the digestive systems of the little pigs |
following the sow.
When it is necessary to give the pigs
medicine make the doses very light and
far between. Medicine shouid not be
given till every effort to administer it
through the mother’s milk has failed.
Kaffir Corn as a Stock Feed.—But the
Record wishes more particularly to point
out the value of Kaffir as a stock feed.
In mixed grains for Pigeons, Kaffir corn is
an important i ient, and with other
small grains, it is largely used in growing
chickens.
The best grain feeds for beef produc-
tion in the corn belt, are corn. Kaffir corn
and linseed meal; in the South, cotton-
seed, corn, Kaffir corn and soy beans.
It has been proved that for 100 pounds
of grain in steers it requires 1058 pounds
of Kaffir corn, against 1028 pounds of
Indian corn, or 1038 pounds oats, 1000
pounds wheat, 911 pounds peas or 974
pounds barley.
rpatny corn grag is io like comm Joe fat-
ng hogs, cattle, try an arm
stock. According to the North Carolina
Station, mature r corn contains 16.23
per cent. water, 2.02 per cent. ash, 6.92
per cent. protein, 6. cent. fibre,
65.18 per cent. nitrogen extract and
3.86 per cent. fat.
For hogs, the best results have been
secured when alfalfa, skim milk or soy
beans have been fed with Kaffir corn.

ing, been found especially valua-
ble to feed with skim milk to calves.
For horses, the grain may be fed in the
head; for colts and horses not working,
the stalks and heads may be fed together.
At the Oklahoma Station coarsely
ground Kaffir corn contained 4C per cent.
more digestible matter than the whole
grain. Generally, for all farm animals,
the grain should be ground. Poultry,
however, digest the whole grain more
completely than ground grain.
Kaffir corn fodder, without the grain
much resembles cornstalk fodder after
the ears have been removed. Either as
fodder or silage it is relished by cows
and has been found to be nearly equal to
corn.
In Oklahoma Kaffir corn stover proved
somewhat inferior to alfalfa hay, but
equal to corn stover. In Kaffir
corn stover proved superior to corn stover.
Pumps Versus Baths.
The poor are dirty because they can-
not afford to be clean and not from in-
clination or choice. As the woman in
an English town said to the doctor
who thoughtlessiy suggested that her
child of six was old enough to he
washed, “It's easy for you to talk of
washin’, with yer hot and coll taps,
but what are the likes of me to do
with only the loan of my neighbor's
pump?’ In the multitude of schemes
occupying the attention of public bod-
fes the establishment and maintenance
of public wash houses, with due re-
gard to the prevention of the spread of
infectiua, ought to take a foremost
place.—Medical Press and Circular.
The Loyal Bookseller.
Certainly the loyalist bookseller on
record was the John Stubbs who of-
fended Queen Elizabeth by publishing
a book protesting against the proposed
marriage with the “imp of the crown
of France.” The unhappy man was
condemned to suffer the loss of his
right hand, which was accordingly
chopped off with a butcher's knife in
the market place at Westminster. “I
remember,” says Camden, “standing
by Stubbs, who, as soon as his right
hand was off, took off his hat with his
left and eried aloud. ‘God save the
queen! The next moment he faint-
ed.”"—*“The Romance of Bookselling.”
Easy Indolence.
“A good turkey ‘dinner and mince
pie,” said a New York raconteur, “al-
ways put us in a lethargic mood—make
us feel, in fact, like the natives of
Nola Chucky.
“In Nola Chucky oue day 1 said to
a man:
“What is the principal occupation
of this town?
“ ‘Waal, boss,” the man answered,
yawning, ‘in winter they mostly sets
on the east side of the house and fol-
lers the sun around to the west, and
in the summer they sets on the west
side and follers the shade around to
the east.”
Raising the Wind,
Dannhauer would gamble his last
cent. Tbet was his great weakness.
He went home one evening after a bad
day. He looked tired.
“Wife,” he said. “have you got any-
thing to eat?”
“Yes, lots of things,” the wife said.
“Well, cook up everything you've got
—everything.”
“Gracious! Are you that hungry?’
“I'm not hungry at all. I'm going to
i sell the stove.” —Kansas City Star.
Thoughtful Maud.
Maud—Yes, 1 got papa to buy a
vacuum cleaner for mother. Jessica—
How thoughtful! Maud-—-Yes. Mother
is a little stiffened up with rheuma-
tism, you know, and I used to feel so
sorry to see her trying to use the
broom that 1 always left home on
sweeping day.—Cleveland Plain Deal-
er.
At middle life a man should be at his
best physically and mentally. He would
if he followed “honest nature's rule” and
lived a more even life. Middle life sees
the average man prematurely old. He
is gray or bald his face wrinkled, his eyes
blurred, his hands tremulous. He has
overdrawn his account with Nature and
she is staving off the total bankruptcy of
the body as long as she can. How long
she can do’this depends upon the man
himself. He can aid Nature greatly. The
best aid to Nature is the use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
supplies the material by which the phys-
ical deficiencies can be made good. It in-
creases the quantity of the blood and
purifies it. The use of the “Discovery”
with proper attention to general hygiene
will insure a sturdy old age.
——Chimmie (after his first day at
school) Say, fellers, wot sort of a teacher
is Miss Flynn?
Mickie—She's the kind wot’s always
layin’ for us.
Teddie—Sure ting! She's a bird, she is.

Heed the Warning
MANY BELLEFONTE PEOPLE HAVE
DONE SO.
When the kidneys are sick they give un*
mistakable warnings that should not be
ignored. By examining the urine and
treating the kidneys upon the first sign of
disorder, many days of suffering may be
saved. Sick kidneys expel a dark, ill-
smelling urine, full of “‘brickdust” sedi-
ment and painful in passage. Sluggish
kidneys cause a dull pain in the small of
the back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired,
languid feelings and frequent rheumatic
twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys
only; they cure sick kidneys, and rid the
blood of uric poison. If vou suffer from
any of the above symptoms you can use
no better remedy.
Bellefonte people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. H. I. Taylor, 72 S. Water St., Belle
fonte, Pa., says: We think just as highly
of Doan's Kidney Pills as we did twoyears
ago, when we publicly recommended them.
They were procured at Green's Pharmacy
Co., and brought relief from backache
and kidney trouble. On several o cas‘ons
since then we have taken Doan’s Kidney
Pills and they have always been f the
greatest benefit. We think so h ghly of
Doan's Kidney Pills that we recommend
them to other kidney sufferers at covery
opportunity.”
