A Plea for the Crows and Foxes.
MESSRS. EDITORS :-A great many
of our farmers are in the habit of kill
ing all the crows and foxes that they
can. This is all wrong, and detrimen
tal to the best interests of the farmer.
Instead of crows and foxes being ene
mies to farmers, they are their best
friends, and if the cultivators of the
soil properly understand their best in
terest they would use their influence
in having laws passed preventing the
destruction of their friends—the crows
and foxes.
The greatest enemies farmers have
to contend with,in order to raise good
crops, are mice and " out worms."—
Mice, during the winter months,often
destroy large fields of wheat, while
"cut worms," in the spring, frequent
]y destroy crops of corn.
All the inventions heretofore crea
ted to scare crows from cornfields and
destroy "cutworms," have proven a
failure. Crows do not visit cornfields
for the purpose of destroying the corn,
as generally, but erroneously,lsuppos
ed ; but for a more laudiblo purpose,
of devouring worms bro't to the sur
face by the cultivation of the soil.
therebypromoting the material wealth
of the farmer,and as long as these can
be found, the most selfish crow will
not disturb a hill of corn, and if the
husbandman, while planting his corn
will observe whether worms were
plenty or scarce, and if scarce, drop a
few grains of soaked corn here and
there over his fields, the planted corn
will not be disturbed by crows. If he
finds the worms plenty this need not
be done, as the corn will remain un
disturbed.
There is no good land butwhat pro
duces a good crop of field , mico, who,
during our long winters. muss have
something to eat, and as their fall
supplies generally are eaten up by the
Ist of January, the wheat fields and
fruit trees furnish them with good
food until spring, to the great annoy
ance and damage to the farmers.—
Now it so happens that foxes consid
er mice the best of food, and will not
eat auy other kind as long as mice are
procurable, consequently they make it
their especial business to hunt all the
mice they can find, and as long as
they can get them the farmer's fowls
are safe and his wheat crop good. In
stead of crcws and foxes being the
farmers enemies they are his best pro
tectors. Farmers, spare them.

BELLEFONTE, May 19, 1869.
Stick to One Thing
There are many farmers who do not
stick to one thing long enough to
make it pay, consequently they lose in
everything. At one time they con
clude to devote themselves to stock
raising. Before they get fairly under
headway in this, they change their
minds and go back to raising grain.—
Some again make a specialty, for a
time, of a certain crop— -wheat, corn,
or potatoes for instance. While they
are following this specialty, the crops
may be small and the prices low, and
they turn to another just in time to
miss large crops and good prices in
what they have left.
The best farmers we have observed
are those who first find out what their
soil is best adapted to produce. They
then turn their energies in that direc
tion and go straight forward in that
line. A proper crop does not discour
age them. They go on and are sure
to be finally successful.
To illustrate our idea. We once
knew a farmer who made it a point to
fatten from twenty-five to thirty hogs
every year. Let the price of pork be
high or low, he every year had his lot
of hogs of about the usual number.—
Ho took great pride in having the
best in the neighborhood. Some years
perhaps he might have done better by
turning his whole attention to some
other specialty in farming. But we
always noticed this, that taking one
Sear with another fora long time, say
ten years, he made the hogs pay. He
was a successful farmer.
Another farmer,near by, everyyear
planted potatoes. Sometimes his crop
would fail, and sometimes when he
had a good crop, the price would be
low. But he kept straight forward.
Every spring he planted potatoes.—
The result in this case was the same
as that in the other, Taking one year
with another for a considerable num ,
ber of years,he made the potatoe crop
pay. He, too, eras a successful farm-
The farmer who would make his
business pay must have a policy, and
must adhere to it.—Am. _Farm difag.
HOW TO RAISE 'MANY CUCUMBERS.
—l. Never take take fresh seed of
last season, but always take seeds two
or four years old. Who cannot get
old seed, should have his fresh seeds
dried near a warm stove during sev
eral weeks. Some gardeners, in or
der to obtain this end, carry their seed
in their pockets. Old cucumber seed
will bear earlier and more fruit. Fresh
seed will make weak plants, and is
longer in germinating.
2. Pinch off the end of the Main
shoot. This will strengthen the
growth of the vine ; the laLterals will
come out sooner, and you will get
more fruit before frosts set in again.
How to get fine flavored cucumbers
1. Get your seed from a reliable seeds
man.
2. Soak your seed in milk for about
twenty-four hours before sowing.
Horticulturist.
Domestic Receipes.
Aunt Betsey came in yesterday as I
was making paste to paper my bed-
room
" Put a little pulverized alum in it,
Kate," said she ; "a half teaspoonful
to the pint of flour, then you will not
need to wash the wall with vinegar,and
it will make the paper stick, too."
While she was in, old Mr. Mix
drove up with eggs and meat to sell.
He and aunt Betsey used to go to
school together when they were chil
dren.
"What sort o' meat you got," said
she, "tender or tough !"
" Some of its tender ; line-steak is
allers tender, you know. My old wo
man says she can make any steak ten
der by rubbing this ere carbonate of
soda on it over night, and then wash
lug it off just afore you cook it in the
mornin'."
"Stop at my house," said Aunt
Betsey. If sodYll make it tender, I
can keep it with black pepper : k ill I
eat it up."
"How did you say, Betsey!" in
quired Mr. Mix.
"Why, jest rub common black pep
per all over it, and it'll keep in the
warmest weather. Some folks salt
their steaks to make 'em keep, but
salt draws all the juice out of the
meat, and males it tough and taste
less. When you want to cook it,wash
off the pepper, and it'll be just as ten
der and savory-like as one could wish.
Salt oughn't to be put on steak till it
is all done, and laid en a hot platter.
I allers salt my steak just afore I put
it on the table."
After Mr. Mix left: "Do tell me,
Kate, how you made that sponge-cake
you had at the Sewing S'iety the oth
er day; 'twas real nice, and so light;
just what spotige cake out to be."
SPONGE-CAKE.—Two cups of flour,
two cups of sugar, six eggs, one tea
spoonful essence of lemon, one table
spoonful of water.
Thank you, Kate; and would you
mind writing down on the other side
of that sheet, how to make that fruit
puddin' you had the last time I din
ed here ? I can't generally eat plum
puddin', but that didn't hurt me a
bit."
So I wrote as follows, baby all the
while in my arms, and pulling at my
nose and hair ;
FRUIT-PUDDING.- One cup of mo
lasses. half a cup of brown sugar,half
a cu s p of butter, one cup of milk,three
and a cups of flour, one-half teaspoon
each of cinnam on, allspice, and cloves,
half a cup or more of raisins or cur
rants a large cupful of chopped ap
ples, or if you have no appless, dried
peaches or dried apples that have been
well soaked, will do : one teaspoonful
of soda stirred in the molasses. Boil
two hours.—Hearth and Rome. .
SWEET CORN.--It is a surprising
fact that sweet corn is not abundant
ly grown among farmers. Every far
,mer.thinks he must raise his five or
,ten acres of Indian corn every year,in
order to fatten his pork, and to fur
nish fodder for his stock, &c. Now,
if every farmer would grow three or
five acres of sweet corn, his crop wo'd
prove of much more value in propor
tion to the number of acres of Indian
corn for feeding purposes. Last
spring I : planted six acres of sweet
corn for the purpose of taking it into
market green, But after the market
became "glutted, "I concluded to save
the balance of my corn and cure it to
feed. I cut and fed my hogs corn (in
the stalks) every day, and they would
eat stalks and all as clean as they
would green clover. I would recom
mend it to those that sow corn in
preference to any other.
Be careful to trace up your seed in
the fall and then you will not fail to
have good seed when you come to
plant or sow.—Selected.
WEEDS.—One of the greatest nth
sauces in farming is the way that
weeds are encouraged and protected in
the crooks and vicinity of fences,from
which place their seeds are scattered
over the surrounding land. The ex
tent. to which seed is carried by high
winds prove that one negligent farm
er may annoy hundreds of farms by
failing to exterminate the foul herb
age. Could the evils be concentrated
on the farm which nurses the weeds,
the consequences would be A proper
punishment for his carelessness and
criminality--for criminal is any map
who nurtures nuisances that thus in
jure the surrounding farmers. The
fellow who keeps a bull-dog that an
noys if not bites the passing travelers,
may be reached by the law that is
powerless to expose the injury occa
sioned to his neighbors by the nursur
ies of foul weeds which are harbored
about his premises, especially in the
vicinity of his fences.--2V Inde
pendent.
C LEAN LINESS. -A neat, clean,fresh
aired, sweet, cheerful, well-arranged
house exerts a moral as well as a
physical influence over its inmates,
and made the members of a family
peaceable and considerate of each oth
ers feelings and happiness. The con
nection is obvieus between the state
of mind thus produced, and habits of
respect for others, and for those high
duties and obligations which no laws
can enforce. On the contrary,afilthy,
squalid, noxious dwelling in which
none of the decencies of life can be
observed, contributes to make its in
habitants selfish, sensual, and regard
less of the feelings of others. And the
constant indulgence of such passions
renders them reckless and brutal; and
the transition is natural to propensi
ties and habits incompatible with a
respect for the property of others or
for the laws,---N. Y. Independent.
SEWING MACHINE
A MERICAN BUTTON-HOLE
OVER-SEAMING AND SEWING MA-
CHINE COMBINED
MEDAL AWARDED AT THE - PARIS EX-
POSITION, 1867
In directing attention to the celebrated
COMBINATION BUTTON HOLE AND
SEWING MACHINE, we feel fully warran
ted in claiming for it unquestionable euperi
ortty over all others as a Family Machine.—
The Simplicity, Ease and Certainty with
which it operates, as well as the uniform ex
cellenee of its work, certainly place it far
advance of any other similar invention of the
age.
It is also the 4ect.yest,intrinsically, as well
as the best, since it is really two machines
combined in one, (byt simple and beautiful
mechanical arrangement never before at
comfashed by human ingenuity,) making
either the Lock Stitch or Button Hole Stitch,
as occasion may require. It is, at the same
time, simple in construction, comparativelynoiseless,
noiseless, easily understool, and, in a word,
it combines with those advantages exclusive
ly its own the most desirable qualities of all
others, for it not only. does every variety
of sewing in a SUPERIOR MANNER, but
in addition OVER SEAMS splendidly and
makes beautiful BUTTON and EYELET novas
in all fabrics. This is far beyond the ca
pacity of any other machine.
The SPLENDID MECHANISM of this Machine,
and the superior skill workmanship and ma
terials employed in its construction, are a
guarantee of accuracy, strength and dura
bility, and enable the company and its agents
to Warrant Every Machine they sell to give
entire satisfaction.

ON THE SHORTEST NOTICE
110 s company is composed of practicable
mechanics, and Samuel Adams, one of the
Co., has been foreman of the Bellefonte
Planing Mill since its commencement.
Connected with the mill, and in operation
at all times, is one of the latest improved
COKE DRYING KILNS;
which leaves the lumber in a perfectly
healthy state, assists in preserving it, and in
fact adds to its lasting qualities, while oth
er methods of drying deteriorate, and ren
ders it more liable
TO DECAY AND WASTE.
„Lumber dried in a Coke klin, is dried per •
feetly, and when worked and put up, will
not
SHRIVEL AND SHRINK,
thus giving buildings the appearance of
havinP been erected out of Green Material.
We know that our facilities give ua every
advantage over other
PLANING MILLS IN THIS SECTION
and we feel perfectly free in saying, that all
our
WORK WILL BE GUARANTEED,
to be of
A SUPERIOR QUALITY.
We will furnish anything in our line from
a door panel, to a
WHOLE HOUSE,
and at such prices, as cannot bat prove to
be an inducement to .
THOSE DESIRING TO BUILD
All orders promptly filled and a fair
