FARM NOTES.
—Try a patch of alfalfa.
—A full silo makes a fat pocket book. |
—The manure spreader is a profit col-
lector.
—The pigs and light porkers should go
to market early.
—Save all of Y the pumpkins. They are
relished by dairy cows in the winter.
Pumpkins may be stored and saved for
home use or for feeding animals.
—It takes more than 80 tons of water |
to an acre to make an inch of rainfail. A
gentle drizzling rain does the most good,
as it does not pelt down the soil.
—Grape boxes should be covered with |
wooden strips if they are to be shipped |
by train. For the local market they can
be covered with fly netting to keep in-
sects from injuring them.
—A soil well supplied with humus is |
practically immune from drought and ex-
cessively wet season, as the soil is easily |
percolated with any superabundance of |
water and also has a greater storage |
capacity to stand a drought.
— Crab makes excellent hay, but
it is rather difficult to cut with a mower
because of its creeping habit of growth.
It is well worth saving, even if a large
per cent. of hay is left by the mower.
Animals are very fond of crab grass hay.
—The morning ration of the farm horse
should contain about one-fourth of his
daily ration. At noon another fourth
should be given, and at night the remain-
ing heaviest feed. Most of the hay should
be given at night and before the grain is
given.
—The disposition of a horse is bred in
him. He may have behind him long gen-
erations of heredity that had bad man-
ners in it, and they will crop out, but a
good deal of the disposition of a horse is
a matter of development by the people
who handle him.
—Two years’ experiments by the
Georgia station show that curculio can
be controlled by arsenate of lead at a
ratio of two pounds to 50 gallons of water,
to which is added a milk of lime solution
made from three pounds of stone lime.
Three a applications of this spray are rec-
ommended
—ive the white-faced black hornets’
nests a wide berth rather than destroy
them, for these hornets live on the flies
that annoy horses and cattle so and fill
our houses whenever they get a chance.
The fact is, those big flies that take such
a lot of blood out of the stock at a single
meal are most highly relished by black
hornets.
—The aim of the sheep breeder during
the early life of the lamb should be to
produce bone and lean tissue, to get sur-
face; in other words, on which to later
put the finish. This aim is best achieved
by feeding a very little grain while the
lamb is nursing, gradually increasing the
amount as it proves itself able to handle
it, and later on turn it out to pasture.
—The Department of Agriculture ad-
vises two systems of farming for the
average renter, namely: The four-field
system and the five-field system. In the
former all the cultivated land on a farm
is divided into four fields of equal size,
and rotation followed in this order: First,
corn; second, wheat seeded to clover;
third, clover for hay or pasture; fourth,
wheat; fifth, clover for hay or pasture,
—While on pasture the sheep will get
all the nutrients it needs without any
danger of getting more than it can handle.
Throughout its whole existence any
change in feeding should be gradual and
its growth steady. A lamb that is docked
and castrated while still young, so that it
does not suffer any setbacks and that is
grown as indicated, should develop into a
ne, robust type for later finishing. .
—The man who is trying to grow hogs
and keep up the fertility of his land will
do well to grow a good deal of clover for
the use of the hogs every season, and at
the same time buy annually a little phos-
phorus in the sha ape of steamed oatmeal
or ground rock phosphate. The pasture
should by all means be kept in clover,
though this will mean the annual resow- '
ing with clover on some of the land.
—The difference between “moist soil”
and “wet soil” is not understood by all
farmers. All soils consist of small atoms
or soil particles. In a wet soil all space be-
tween these particlesis filled with water,
excluding the air. In a moist soil each
particle is enveloped in a film of mois-'
ture, allowing the air to penetrate be-
tween the particles. A wet soil rots the
seed. A moist soil sprouts it and pro-
motes its growth.
~—There are two methods of manuring, |
one spreading it on the surface, and the | |
other plowing or digging it in. As
In fruit trees, especially, this has been
found to be the case. dressing |
should be applied as soon in the spring as |

The Cleanliness of Animals.
Man seems to be the only animal
whose food soils him, making neces-
sary much washing and shieldlike bibs
and napkins. Moles living in the earth
worms are Yet HE
clean as seals or fishes, whose lives are
one perpetual wash. The squirrels in
these rvesiny woods keep themselves
| clean in some mysterious way: not a
hair is sticky. though they handle the
gumnly cones and glide about appar-
ently without care. The birds, too, are
clean, though they seem to make a
good dea! of fuss washing and clean-
ing their feathers. From “My First
Summer In the Sierras,” by John Muir.
Old 4 Wedgwood,
Modern Wedgwood is of greatly in-.
ferior quality. and it seems improba-
bie that the success attained by Josiah
| Wedgwood will ever be reached
again. Of all his creations in jasper
his reproduction of the famous Port-
land, or Barberini, vase (the original
of which is in the British museam) is |
| the most important. About 1790!
| Wedgwood at great expense attempt-
ed to make (ifty replicas of his vase, |
but it is believed that not more than |
thirty-five were actually finished. Of
| these original pieces only about fifteen
have been identified.—Argonaut.
Ancient Sausages.
Antiquaries are baffled in their at-
tempts to ascertain when sausages
first became an article of human con-
sumption. We
called “allantes” and
a common article of diet, and every
schoolboy knows, or ought to know, '
, that sausages, black puddings and sau-
sage sellers appear in the comedies of |
Aristophanes. —London Telegraph.
Sad Feelings.
“Jaggsby takes even his pleasures
sadly.”
“He does?”
“Yes, and to such an extent thar
when he goes on a spree he never sees
green serpents, pink monkeys or pur:
ple elephants like other fellows. He
sees nothing but black snakes.” —Balti- |
more American.
Easily Spotted.
“Is this dress apt to he easily spot

The Only Way
MANY BELLEFONTE CITIZENS HAVE DIS
COVERED IT.
Just what to do when the kidneys are
affected, is a question that concerns both
young and old. Weak kidneys neglected
in childhood lead to life-long suffering.
People of advanced years, with less vital-
ity, suffer doubly. In youth or age, lan-
guor, backache,urinary irregularity, dizzi-
ness and nervousness make life a burden.
There is one remedy that acts directly
on the kidneys and cures these troubles.
Doan’s Kidney Pills owe their world-wide
fame to the fact that they cure sick kid-
neys and cure them permanently. Fol.
low the example of this Bellefonte citizen
and you will be convinced that this is so.
Mrs. James Rine,"239 W. High street,
Bellefonte, Pa., says: Some years ago |
procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Green's
Pharmacy Co., and their use cured me of
kidney complaint and backache that had
caused me no end of suffering. At that
time I told of my experience in a public
statement and I now take pleasure in con-
firming that testimonial, The relief Doan's
Pills gave me has been permanent,”

| The drains and losses, the pains and
torments suffered by so many women are
unnatural. They are against Nature and
she is their uncompromising foe. Let a
woman realize this and she must also re-
alize that Nature is her friend, and stands
ready to help her when she will put her- :
| self in a position where Nature's help
| can be given. It is at this place that the
| supreme worth of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is demonstrated. It is the
means by which Nature can work with
women for the restoration of health. Be-
gin to use "Favorite Prescription” and
you begin to be cured of ulceration, in-
flammation, female weakness and kin-
dred ailments, because ycu begin to co-
operate with Nature on Nature's plan.
Of half a million women who have used
“Favorite Prescription” ninety-eight per
cent. have been perfectly pay permanent-
ly cured.
