{tems of Interest Dished Up for the
Delectation of “Watchman” Read-
ers by a Corps of Gifted
Correspondents.
AARONSBURG.
A Merry Christmas and prosperous
New Year to “Watchman” employees |
and all its readers.
Nelson Wert, of Akron, Ohio, has
been the guest of his mother, Mrs. J.
J. Fiedler, at their cozy home on east
Main street.
Harry Roush, who at one time was
a regular clerk in the Krape store,
but went to farming, is back there for
the Holidays.
_ Herbert Merriman, who is employed
in Akron, Ohio, arrived home about
ten days ago, for a visit with his fam-
ily in this place.
The Misses Lizzie Yarger, Amanda
Haines, Lodie Harter and Pearl King
have all returned home from State
College for the Holidays.
Harry Roush is again behind the
counter in J. F. Krape’s store. It
seems quite natural to see him there,
after such a long absence.
Miss Mary Stahl made a trip to her
home in this place to see how her
friends and neighbors are getting
along and of course, as she has her
property here she makes it a custom |
to look after it.
Miss Sallie Steffen returned to her
home in this place, from Danville,
where she had been called by the ill-
ness of her sister, Mrs. Moser, who
underwent an operation for some trou-
ble in her head.
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Mingle and Mr.
and Mrs. Ammon Stover on Monday
attended the funeral of Mr. McClos-
key, at Potters Mills. For many years
Mr. McCloskey made his home with
his cousin, Mrs. William McCormick,
at Potters Mills.
Mrs. Walter C. Orwig and her lit-
tle daughter Olive, of Northumber-
land, are guests of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Bright. They will be joined
later in the week by Mr. Orwig and
the balance of the family, who will
spend Christmas here.
Rev. C. B. Snyder on Sunday after-
noon closed the evangelistic meeting
which had been in progress here for
two weeks. To the regret of the pas-
tor and people, there were no conver-
sions. However, the work of the king-
dom has been strengthened and much
good may yet be forthcoming. Rev.
Snyder made a special trip to Wood-
ward to bring up the Messrs. Claire
Kramer, Frank Guisewite and Mr.
Benner, who, together with Mr. Sny-
der, rendered a number of quartettes,
which were greatly appreciated by the
audience.
RUNVILLE.
The Laides Aid will hold their
monthly meeting January 6th, in the
P. O. S. of A. hall.
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Shutt and three
children, of Bellefonte, spent Sunday
at the home of Mr. and Mrs E. S. Ben-
nett.
Lee Poorman, of State College, vis-
jted at the home of his grandparents,
Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Poorman, last
Sunday.
Mrs. U. S. Flick, of Bellwood, spent
Sunday with her sister, Mrs. F. L.
Shope, who has been on the sick list
for the past month.
George Newman, of Milesburg, at-
tended our Sabbath school last Sun-
day and gave a very interesting talk
on Sunday school work.
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Heaton and
Mrs. W. A. Heaton and little son
George, and Mrs. E. R. Lucas, of Al-
toona, attended the funeral of little
Joel Walker last Wednesday.
TForden Walker and family moved
to Snow Shoe on Tuesday, where Mr.
Walker is employed as foreman on
the railroad. We are sorry to lose
our good neighbors and friends, as
they will be greatly missed in our
community.
EOALSBURG.
Mrs. A. J. Hazel and daughter spent
Monday in Bellefonte.
John Ishler is making some im-
provements about his meat market.

After spending the summer on the
W. R. Dale poultry farm near State
College, Keller Snyder returned home
on Tuesday.
The Lutheran Sunday school will
hold Christmas services on Saturday
evening and the Reformed school on
Sunday evening.
Miss Gladys Hazel, Dorothy Lone-
barger and Charles Hosterman, of
Penn State, are spending their vaca-
tion with their parents.
FEED THE BIRDS.
All during the summer and the fall,
birds are so busy eating bugs, that
when winter comes there is almost
nothing left for them to eat. Then
comes the snow and takes away their
chance of finding seeds or food of any.
kind on the ground, and as a result
every winter many hungry birds who
do not go south starve to death. It
is an easy matter to make out of a
box a lunch counter for birds hard
pressed by winter.
Mount a box, with one side left
open, on a post high enough so the
deepest snows of winter will not bury
it, and with a guard of tin around the
base to foil climbing rats and cats.
Birds will be grateful for almost any
kind of table scraps, and don’t forget
to scatter grit on their lunch counters,
because they must have grit to grind
up their food, and in winter they can-
not scratch under the snow to find it.
FARM NOTES.
— Horses that are forced to remain
idle may be fed a little more roughage
Pea usual with a saving to the feed
bill.
—The excellent results secured dur-
| ing the past season with disease-free
| potato seed are sufficient arguments
for securing some good seed for next
year’s planting if you have never tried
|it. Farmers all over the State are
doubling their orders for next year.
—1In addition to the legumes, buck-
wheat, rape, turnips and many other
crops have been used as green ma-
nures. They have value, for the grow-
erwise might have been lost in the
drainage water. They also had hu-
mus to the soil.

during the winter months. A con-
stant supply of water is essential for
the best egg production. A pail pack-
ed in a box with straw makes a good
water fountain.

| magic that heals broken parts over
| winter, repairing the wear and tear
of one season, and bringing forth a
| bright, sound tool ready for instant
| woik next year.
| —Thoughtlessness in the handling,
' care, and repair of farm implements
'tesults annually in the loss to far-
| mers of thousands of dollars and much
valuable. The proper time for over-
their period of inactivity and before
pressing and delays are costly. If put
ollection of the past season’s difficul-
ties with the tool or machine may
hinder greatly.
At the end of the season’s work with
any machine it is a plan worth while
to make out a schedule of needed re-
pairs and adjustments for that partic-
ular machine and file it in a conven-
ient place, so that when an opportu-
nity arises the work can be taken up
and done quickly and thoroughly. The
machine itself represents capital in-
vested. It should be housed properly
parts to rot and metal parts to rust,
which, even for short periods, may
season’s use.
Probably no implement used on the
farm receives a greater amount of
abuse or as little attention to its prop-
er care, operation, and repair as the
plow.
in out of the way places subject to
the hardships of the weather, but
should be housed properly when not in
use. When laid by, it should be stor-
ed in a dry place away from contact
with the ground and the bright parts
coated with grease to prevent rust-
ing. Once the moldboard, share, and
the landslide have become pitted with
rust an efficient job of plowing can
not be done until the corroded parts
again have acquired a polish.
Many farmers who would not neg-
lect an expensive harvesting machine
are careless in the care of harrows
and other implements of this type.
These also represent capital invested,
and a large return is possible if they
are properly cared for and housed at
the end of the season. If stored un-
der a shed the teeth should be sup-
ported by blocks or boards so that
they will not become embedded in the
ground. All accumulations of earth
and trash should be removed. Espe-
cially is this true of wooden frame
harrows. The earthy accumulations
retain moisture and hasten decay of
the wood. If these parts have dried
out sufficiently they may be cleaned
and painted, which will prevent sea-
son checking and splitting. As the
harrow works in wet earth close to
the ground, once checking has start-
ed the deterioration is rapid, especial-
ly at those points where metal and
wood come into contact. Aside from
prolonging their usefulness and ad-
ding to its appearance, a well cared
for implement which retains some of
the appearance of newness commands
more respect and is subject to less
has been neglected.
At the close of the season, or when
not in use, if stored under a shed, the
disk harrow should be run upon boards
so the disks may not become embed-
ded in the ground. The implement
should be cleaned carefully of all ac-
cumulated soil, and the disks greased
with a heavy grease to prevent rust.
The protective covering of paint
should be renewed at the proper time.
This is especially true of the wooden
parts.
In storing the binder remove the
canvases, wrap up carefully, and store
in a dry place away from mice and
rats, or hang them over a round stick
with ends free and even. Thus mice
and rats can find no place for nests.
Apply a good leather dressing, har-
ness oil, or tallow to leather straps
to prevent them from becoming dry
and hard and cracking. The knife
bar and wooden pitman should be re-
moved and stored in a dry place. The
knife bars should be cleaned and
greased. The pitman should be stor-
ed on a shelf or flat place, so that it
will not spring or warp. Grease the
ledger plates, knotter, twine holder,
needle point, twine eye, and all bright
parts of the machine and binding
mechanism in general.
The chains also may be removed,
cleaned (preferably in a bath of coal
oil), wiped dry, and oiled. They
should be labeled, tied in a bundle, and
hung in a dry place. If the tongue is
not removed, it should be supported
by blocking at the draft connections
so that it will not become bowed. The
bearings throughout the machine
should be oiled with a heavy oil which
will not run out readily.
Full information on the subject is
contained in Farmers’ Bulletins 946,
947 and 1036, a series entitled “Care
and Repair of Farm Implements,” is-

with some of the best people in the
city, dropped in upon one of his cus- |
tomers and began to display his wares. |
