Jim Webster was being tried for bribing a colored witness, Sam John- sing, to give evidence in his favor. “You say that the prisoner offered you $250 to give evidence in his fa- vor?” asked the counsel, and on re- ceiving a reply in the affirmative, he continued: “Were those his exact words? Did he say, ‘I will give you $250?’ ” “No, sah,” replied Sam. “He didn’t say nothing about you paying me $250. Your name wasn’t mentioned, ’cepting he told me, if ever I got into trouble you was de best man to fool de jedge and jury—in fact, you was the best in de town to cover up res- kelity!” Here the court adjourned hurried- ly.—St. Louis Star. Dogs Assist Police. To ascertain the number of dogs in Vienna a census was taken, and at the final check-up the canines numbered 78,000. This has been a big increase, as the last count showed only about half that number. Due to numerous burglaries and thefts the dogs have become more popular than ever and many families have them in their pos- session for protection’s sake. At the Central cemetery, where many. bodies: were | n, police dogs in company with ‘ds are usefl to stamp out the thieves.—Sportsman'’s Digest. FARM NOTES. —When garden crops are harvested the vines, stalks, and other plant re- mains should be cleaned up. Good gardeners who take pride in the ap- pearance of their gardens remove such trash, as, if allowed to remain, it harbors insects and diseases liable to attack next year’s crops. Plant re- mains from vegetable crops should not be composted for use on the same crops next year, but may be burned and the ashes left on the soil or used on other land devoted to different crops. Where a sufficient area is available so that part can be devoted to soil im- proving crops each year, these should be put in as the vegetable crops are harvested. Crimson clover is an ex- cellent soil improver, but can not be grown in all sections. Winter oats, barley, rye, vetch and combinations of these are good. Where the same area is used for the garden year after year a fall ‘application of manure is very desirable. If manure can not be secured, it may pay to sow the gar- den to one of the soil-improving crops. In many sections there is time be- tween late fall and early spring veg- etables for a good growth of these crops. —The wild cucumber vine and the common milkweed, as shown by inves- tigations, are the principal wild hosts plants of the cucumber mosaic, or “white pickle” disease. This disease is widespread in the United States, but is most general and serious in the Middle West, where the major portion of the pickle-growing industry is lo- cated. Cucumber mosaic is caused by a virus, and the most common means of spreading it is by two kinds of in- sects, the striped cucumber beetle, the melon aphis, and by pickers. The dis- case is not carried through the winter in the soil or by insects, and trials have shown that seeds from diseased cultivated cucumbers rarely produce mosaic plants. however, that seeds from mosaic fruits of the wild cucumber will pro- duce a certain percentage of mosaic plants when planted and the disease may thus winter over on this wild host. Wild cucumber vines appear along fences and streams from three to four weeks before the cultivated cucumbers ang planted, and the strip- ed cucumber beetle feeds on these wild plants and then flies to the cucumber fields, carrying the mosaic virus if it exists. subject to cucumber mosaic and as it lives for many years the disease is reproduced each year from the dis- eased roots. Insects, particularly the melon aphis, are also the agents which carry mosaic from milkweed to cu- cumber. Eradication of these wild hosts is strongly advised as the most effective control measure yet known. Field experiments indicate that such treatment not only reduces the amount of disease in the fields, but al- It has been found,’ The common milkweed is also $ may be mixed with the shredded cab- ! bage before being packed. The cab- bage should be packed firmly but not too tightly. When full, cover the jar with a clean cloth and a board cover or plate. On the cover place a weight heavy enough to cause the brine to come up to cover. If the jar is kept at a temperature of about 86 degrees F., fermentation will start promptly and should be completed in from 6 to 8 days. A scum soon forms on the surface, which should be skimmed off from time to time. After fermentation is complete, the kraut should be set in a cool place. If the cabbage is fermented late in the fall or if it can be stored in a very cool place, it may not be necessary to do more than keep the surface skim- med and protected. Otherwise, it will be necessary to take measures to pre- vent spoilage. This may be done by one of two methods: (1) A layer of hot paraffin may be poured over the surface, or as much of it as is exposed around the cover. Properly applied to a clean surface, this effectually seals the jar and protects the contents from contamination. (2) After the fer- mentation is complete, pack the krout in glass jars or cans, adding enough of the kraut brine, or a weak brine | made by adding 1 ounce of salt to a i quart of water, to completely fill the jars. Seal the jars tight and set them away in a cool place. Real Estate Transfers. Bella Weaver to Lee O. Lyons, tract in Milesburg; $600. Henry S. Pletcher, et ux, to Eugene M.

The market price of barley pound for pound, as com- pared with corn, has frequently been less, and it has been found profitable to convert it into pork. Whole barley. is not desirable as a stock feed on ac- count of the hardness of the grain. However, when the barley is soaked or ground and soaked its feeding effi- ciency is greatly increased. Although barley contains a little more protein than corn, it is, primarily, a carbon- aceous feed, and must be used with a protein concentrate as a supplement. Generally, however, barley is a less satisfactory feed than corn for fat- tening hogs. The rapidity and econ- omy of gains from barley depend largely upon its quality. —All farm animals that die from unknown causes should preferably be buried deep in quicklime. Many outbreaks of infectious diseases owe their origin to the carcasses which were allowed to decompose in the open pastures or barn lots to which other animals had access. The United States Department of Agriculture ad- vises every farmer who suffers mor- tality among his live stock from un- known causes to have a competent veterinarian make a post-mortem ex- amination and cremate the remains or bury them deep in quicklime. —Hogs, next to poultry, are usual- ly the most numerous live stock on the average farm, and as hog cholera is the most dreaded scourge which jeop- ardizes the porker population, it is ob- ligatory that the carcasses of hogs dy- ing from unknown causes should be burned or buried deep in quicklime. An old metal wheel serves as an ex- cellent base for the funeral pyre. The wheel should be raissed 5 or 6 inches above the ground on 3 or 4 stones, so that a fire can be kindled underneath it. The carcass of the dead hog should be placed on this wheel. In order that the carcass will burn readily and thoroughly, it should be slashed deep- ly with a Yeni e so that the flames may penetrate to the fat and all the car- cass burn rapidly. . Where horses or cattle die, so much labor is involved in digging trenches of sufficient size and depth to accom- modate them that it is preferable to dig deep a smaller grave and to dis- member the carcasses so they will fit in the small space. These graves should be not less than 5 feet deep and the carcasses should be covered thickly with quicklime, which will soon consume the fleshy portions. —The making of sauerkraut offers a good means of utilizing surplus stocks of cabbage and at the same time enables the housewife to carry over into the winter months a vege- table food that helps to vary the di- et at a time when meat is often too largely used. Unless very large quantities are de- sired, 4 or 6 gallon stone jars are the best containers. The United States Department of Agriculture recom- mends the following method: Select only mature, sound heads of cabbage. Quarter them and slice off the core portion and shred. An ordinary slaw cutter or a large knife will do. One pound of salt for every 40 pounds of cabbage makes the proper strengt® of Brine to produce the best’ results. s may be distributed as the eabbage ie packed in the jar or it | MW.

The loss of $4,000 to its emergency building fund was sustained by the Pennsylvania State College when Don- ald D. Herr, a graduate of the insti- tution, was reported killed in the re- cent Japanese earthquake disaster. Herr, who was in Japan on busi- ness, had given a campaign pledge for $4,000 less than a year ago. But he had written on its face the phrase— “Void if not paid before my death;” another pledge for $1000 was paid in part but did not have this restriction. Three other Penn k State graduates were known to have been in Japan at the time of the earthquake. All have been reported safe, one of them slightly injured. nm —— A ———— BOALSBURG. Dr. J. V.

Not Due to Sex Alone Bellefonte Women Have Learned the * Cause of Many Mysterious Pains and Aches. Many women have come to know that sex isn’t the reason for all back- aches, dizzy headaches and urinary disorders. Men have these troubles, too, and often they come from kidney weakness. To live simply, eat spar- ingly, take better care of one’s self and to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, is bound to help bad kidneys get better. | 1 There is no other remedy so well-rec- ommended by Bellefonte people. Ask your neighbor. Mrs. E. E. Ardery, Reynolds Ave., Bellefonte, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for some time whenever my kidneys have troubled me and they have never failed to help me. My kidneys were weak and out of order and my back ached. I be- came run down, too. Doan’s Kidney Pills from Runkle’s drug store have always relieved these attacks and strengthened my back and kidneys.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Ardery had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
