The parade of the Bellefonte fire de.

a tine affair, and the citizens of the town

steamers trimmed and illuminated, hose
and hook and ladder carts ; fire works
were set off along the route of parade by
enthusiastic lookers.on, The personnel

with any similar body in the state for
fine physique and also for efficiency.
~Farmer Isaac Frain, who is a practi-
cal agriculturist, experimented some-
what last spring in potato culture; he
tells the Centre Democrat, a variety call-
ed the Blue Farmer potato, a late tuber,
he planted early in the spring with
sprouts 4 to 6 inches long, and these
have come up and are doing remarkably
well. Another variety, called the Stray
Beauty, were planted by neighbors some
with sprouts broken off others with the
sprouts on the tuber. Those that had
the sprouts on when planted came up
and are doing all right, while the seed
that was planted with the sprouts broken
off, failed to come up. Again—he plant-
ed potato sprouts from 4 to 6 inches in
length, 12 inches apart, which grew and

hulled walnuts,
