The hay crop h especially abundant, th'- acreage and yield both being unusually large. The oat- and com crops also promise well. This comli tion indicates a surplus of the products on many farms in this county and as soon as harvest is over, the important question of how this surplus is to be disposed of must bo determine d. To seil a single ton of hay or straw, or a bushel of oats or corn, in their original state, is bad farming. The rapid growth of the use of commercial fertilizers in this county proves conclusively that the pro ductiveness of our soil i* being permanent ly impaired. The first requirement, there fore. of future successful fanning is that this impoverishment shall be stopped and the only way to do this is by returning to the land in the form of manure the plant food which has been taken from it in the shape of crops. A man fit to be a farmer can sell the surplus produce of his land at a higher price in the shape of beef. pork, mutton or wool than in its original state and have the manure besides. And nothing can take place of farm manure as a fertiliz er. The effects of ail fertilizers are about equal on the first crop, but only those of farm manure are permanent. The first step therefore, should be to provide suffi cient stock, of the kind which the individ nal's judgment tells him will likely be most profitable, to consume all his harvest pro ducts during the winter. Farming is no longer an occupation where nature furnishes everything and the farmer sows and reaps as a matter of course. It has come to be a business that requires head work, just as any othpr busi ness does. That it is a business which is necessarily unprofitable i« untrue. It- is true the returns are not royal, but they can be made always sure and this is true ol no other business. All that is necessary is that the same intelligent foresight and at tention bo given to fanning that is given by any successful business man in any other business and the same success will follow.—Washington. Pa. Observer. HAYMAKING IS FINLAND. Mark l.ane Ki press. A curious way of making hay is very generally adopted by the Fins. Poor men who own no meadows have long been ac customed to tut what grass they can find in the forest glades and other waste lands. Owing to the lack of roads and farmsteads the hay was stnffed among the branches of trees to await the winter frost and snow. When it could easily be carried off by sled ges. After a wet season some farmers not iced that this was actually better in quali ity than that which they themselves made from much better grass. The wild crop, so to call it. has dried much better in the tree branches exposed to a free circulation of air than the rich herbage which had lain long on the sodden ground. Hence it oc curred to them to make temporary trees upon which their own crops might be driud. This experiment was attended by such success that the plan has been widely imi tated. and bids fair entirely to supplant the old-fashioned methods. After the mow ing is done a number of poles about ten feet in length, and provided with trans verse pegs, are set up at intervals, and the grass is loosely heaped upon them. The result is said to be excellent. Even in wet weather only a small portion forming the outside of the pile is discolored, while the inner portions, exposed to the air beneath and protected from the rain above, are dried in perfect condition. Mowing can be carried on in spite of wind and lain, and when once the grass is placed upon the drying poles it may be left without fear of serious damage until the weather changes. An insect, called the ''buffalo fly," is causing farmers much uneasiness in some sections, and it may be that our farmers will be forearmed if forewarned. The little insect seats itself under the skin at the base of the cattle's horns, and cats the horn un til it falls off. Cases of this kind are fre quently reported, and in some cases the in sect pierces the brain, and the animal dies. One fanner reports the insee as eating into the milk-veins of hi-- cows. Thoroughly coating the horn with gas tar or fish oil will prevent the insect from attaching it s ilf to the horn. The law prohibiting the killing of a calf before it has attained the proper age is se vere and stringent. It provides that any any person who kills,or causes to be killed, with intent to sell the meat thereof for family use, a calf of less than four weeks, or knowingly sells or has in his possess ion such meat, with the intent to sell the s.tme for sueh use to a foreign market.shall be imprisoned not more than six months or fined not more than S3OO. It would be proper for the purchasers of meat to look well to this matter, and to exercise the host judgment as to whether they believe all the veal offered for sale in our market has attained the sufficient age to make it marketable, as well as palatable. It will also be of interest to those who sell meats to exercise care in this matter. AVe wish to give t.ur farmer friends a warning, which they should carefully con sider. Whenever they have been unable t.> meet interest payments on mortgages and the loan companies are pressing them and dAianding deeds, we waru them in no ease to give deeds for their land, unless their notes are returned to them at the same time. The following ure the reasons: 1st —A deed for the land does not pay the debt. 'Jud—The company by taking the land have the debt and the laud. too. 3rd—They can sell the land at a nominal iigure and credit the price on the debt,thus getting the land and holding the balance against the mortgagors. 4th —If the company wish to foreclose let them do so. Then be ou hand the day of the sale, and see that the land sells lor the amoiiDt of the debt or as nearly so us possible. So farmers, pay your interest; if you can't,don't give deeds;but follow the course laid down above. Don't forget this. Exposure to the direct rays of the sun. without shade or shelter, is to cause great suffering to swine and sheep. During the .heat ul the ilar the animals will cease grazing and seek shade. A visit to the pasture will show exposed stock to be panting and suffering from the heat. The tomato bushes must now lie exam ined daily or the large green worms will strip off the leaves. Leaving the wagons and tools out in the sun is often the cause of some of the parts becoming loose. The best seasoned wood is affected by moisture and dryness, and all the tools aud implements not in use should be kept under cover. —The only way to solve the problem "Is Marriage a Failure? - ' is to try it. It reminds us of the story ancnt the toadstool and mushroom How can you tell amnsh rooin from a toadstool* By eating it.

Hi 11. une is Nagy Fercnz. He ■was horn one : vear before Napoleon Bonaparte, and in | therefore one hundred and twenty-one i years of age. The date of his birth is well established by local history and the (•rents of his lite. Ferenz is a peasant, iml when the first (Treat coalition of the European powers were formed against r< publican France, in 17113. he enlisted in the Austrian army, and served continuously fur twenty years, passing through all the great wars of the Napoleonic era. Il< was present at Marengo, Austerlitz, Wa gram and Leipsie. and opposed the little Corsican from Montenotte to \\ aterloo. Things have changed a great deal since Xagr was a boy. His native empire. Austria, has gone down considerably in public estimation, and the map <>f Kurope has been changed many times. France was a kingdom when he was born, and since then it has been three times a repub lic, twice an empire, and a kingdom again. The multitude of great events which have been crowded into his lifetime require many histories to tell. — Lomlon Timts. Thousands of Wives Wanted. A novel appeal for wives has been re ceived by the Mayor of Boston from W A. "Wheelwright. Mayor of Tacouia. Washington. The writer says that the Territory of Washington, and the city of Tacoma, in particular, are filled with so ber, industrious and enterprising men. most of them young, who are desirous of marrying. The letter says that there are about ten men to every woman in the Territory, and is followed by a resolve "that the Mayor and Common Council of Tacoma appeal to the people of Massachusetts to send all the women of a marriageable ape that can be spared to the Territory and city, with a view to making pleasant the homes of thousands of able-bodied, industrious young men who would lie glad to marry.' Another resolve is to the effect that the proclamation be forwarded to the Mayor of Boston with the urgent revnest that it be published broadcast throughout the State.
