1912. Bellefonte, Pa., January 12, FARM NOTES. —Plenty of milk is good for ali kinds of poultry, but will not take the place of water which must also be furnished. —Don't keep a lot of fighting male birds in the pen with the laying hens. They will keep the flock constantly stir- red up and reduce the egg yield. —Don’t forget to furnish cabbage, man- gels, or something of that kind to take the place of the green food which the fowls get in summer on the range. i —Geese and ducks may go out in all kinds of weather without suffering harm, ided they have a wind-proof, dry,well bedded house to go into when they de- sire. —It is a good plan to have some good liquid disinfectant on to use occa- sionally in keeping the feed and water dishes and the house itself from becom- ing foul. —It is a good plan to mix beef scraps | and dry wheat bran in equal proportions 2nd put the mixture in hoppers, so that the fowls can constantly have access to it to balance their own ration. —Many poultry keepers clear away the snow from the fronts of their poultry houses and put a little straw or hay on the ground, so that the fowls can get some outdoor exercise on warm, sunny days. “My dear, we can't go on in this way. You simply must find some way to cut down your household expenses.” “I've been cutting them down right | along.

A friend of mine who claimed to have inside information concerning | stocks gave me a pointer, and if I had borrowed $600 and done as he advised I'd have lost every cent of it.”—Chica- go Record-Herald. Classic Central New York. Here in central New York we have our own peculiar problem. Some one with a devout admiration for the clas- sles got in his work when the business of christening was going on in these parts. Authorities are in dispute as to who this person was. We shall not en- ter into that controversy, but merely call attention to the fact that in a county containing Apulia, Borodino, Camillus, Cicero, Delphi. Fabius, Man- {son in 1505.

And the heavier the fleece, the slower the fat will go on. But at the same time they will give as large a return for feed con- | vanes as:iie pes wodks When a feed- | er crowds the limit with grain, he is in| constant of over-feeding and loss. | So if hay and fodder or corn stover are abundant, it is best to limit somewhat the grain and depend more on the rough- age. | The safest way to feed corn is to give such an amount that every lamb will come to the racks when the corn is thrown in, and in the evening come with a rush so that the feeder will have a struggle to make his way to them. —For alittle State New Jersey flies high with chicken wings. It claims to have $10,000,000 invested in poultry, an income of $3,000,000. But tFigiteous discontnt is said io be a ‘good thing and New Jersey not being satisfied with its wi income has made a legislative a tion of $15,000 for the establishment of a poultry depart- ment at its College Farm and an addi- tional $3,000 for annual expenses. The point that interests the farmer's wife, however, is the fact that about two-thirds of the applicants to this new | class were women. This goes to prove that women want to take their share of the economic of the country and are clever in ¢ an adaptable call- ing,—one that in no way militates against the success of men in the business world. ' One of the greatest failures to get win- ter eggs is the lack of good pure drinking water at all times. It should be the first thing given the hens in the morning. If the weather is cold, the water should be ! slightly warmed and should be supplied throughout the day. The hens should have a chance to drink after they have their evening meal. The drinking dishes | should be emptied, rinsed out turned down so they will be ready in the morn- Ing. Never turn cold water in their dishes when there isice in them. If you forget to empty the drinking dish and it forms ice, thaw it out and clean the dish | before putting more water into it. If we! could have running water where our poultry could get to it, it would be a great problem solved; but with most of our poultry houses that would be impos- sible. So we must come as near the t as we can and supply what they need. The most popular theory regarding the moulting of chickens and for hastening the laying after moulting is to starve the hens for a time. When it is noticed that feathers are being shed the hens are placed on short rations. The small amount of food given them is only enough to keep up life, noneto be taken for continued h of feathers. As a consequence feathers lose vitality and drop out faster. At the same time, of course, there is not enougn nourish- | ment for egg formation, hence the hens | cease to lay altogether. When most of the old joa ars ave. buen shed and a| new crop of fea in to grow, the hens are placed on heavy feed again and given all they will consume of feeds rich in protein, which is one of the compo E ; i "country. There is no such thing. by the ploneers. We have heard Apu- lia pronounced Apyoolye by the un- thinking, and, on the other hand, that honored Scriptural name Joshua is now infrequently stretched into Joshaway, which overdoes it in the other direc tion.—Syracuse Post-Standard. A Lawyer's Apology. Many years ago there was an old judge on the bench in Berks county | whose decisions, in consequence of nu | merous reversals, did not always com- mand universal respect. One day in a case in which he was sitting one of the lawyers lost patience at his inabil- ity to see things in a certain light and in the heat of the moment remarked that the intellect of the court was so dark a flash of lightning could not pen- etrate it. For this contempt the judge showed a disposition to be very severe with the offender, and it was only aft- er much persuasion by friends of the latter that he yielded and decided to accept a public apology. The following day the lawyer accordingly appeared before his honor and made amends by ' saying: “I regret very much that I said the intellect of the cdurt was so dark light- ning could not penetrate it. I guess it’ could. It is a very penetrating thing.” —Philadelphia Ledger. A Carved Cherry Stone. i Dr. Peter Oliver, who lived in mee | : land during the early part of the eight- eenth century, tells of seeing a carved cherry stone which weuld be a wonder even in this age of fine tools and fine | workmanship. The stone was one | from a common cherry. and upon it | were carved the heads of 124 popes. | kings. queens, emperors. saints, ete. Small as they must necessarily have! been, it is announced on the authority of Professor Oliver that with a good : glass the heads of the popes and kings | could readily be distinguished from ! those of the queens and saints by their miters and crowns. The gentleman | who brought this little wonder to Eng- | land purchased it in Prussia, allowing | the original! owner £5,000 for his treas- ure. Think of 1t—$25.000 for a cherry | seed! i fa ——————o Jewels on an Idol.

The Value of a Secret. “I'm sure,” said an interviewer, “the public would be interested to know the secret of your success.” “Well, young man,” replied the cap- tain of industry. “the secret of my success has been my ability to keep it a secret.” Obstinacy. There is something In obstinacy which differs from every other pas- sion. Whenever it fails it never re- covers, but either brenks like iron or crumbles away like a decayed arch. Went Too Far.
