FARM NOTES.

One of the best uses for poultry ma
nure at this season is to apply it to the
cucumber vines.
A Minnesota farmer believes that no
fodder is equal to green amber cane for
producing butter.
1t costs 80 cents to grow bushel of
wheat in Michigan, % cents for oats, and
81 cents for corn.
Milk being a complete food it cannot
be produced unless complete food is given
the cows for that purpose.
Cows like cabbage leaves. but it is bet
ter to feed them just after milking, other
wise they may flavor the milk.
Another new breed of beef cattle called
the Sussex is being introduced in this
country as a rival of the Shorthorns and
Hercfords.
An excellent homemade axle-grease is
said to be made of two parts tallow, two
parts castor oil, and one part of pulver-
lied black lead.
Unless the manure is old and VIII rotted
it should not be allowed to touch the roots
of the fruit trees, but be spread upon the
surface.
Do not feed breeding sows very largely
on grain. They may be kept in good con-
dition, but it should be done by more
bulky and partially green food.
To never let one acre of ground lie any
longer than can possibly be helped with
out producing, and largely, too, is a good
motto to adopt on the farm.
Although Ohio ranks as the largest
wool producing state, yet the eggs pro-
duced in that state last year nearly equal
ed her wool product.
Pinch or cut off all the new raspberry
plants to two feet in length, as also the
canes of the blackberries, in order TO
have them grew stocky and send out
laterals.
Road dust may now be gathered easily
and stored for use in poultry houses, and
outhouses in winter, where it will be worth
much moro than its cost
A swine breeder says that in weaving
pigs there is something more to be CON
sidered than simply taking them away
from their mother. They should be wean-
ed gradually, 80 as not to get any stunt
or set back. To take pigs away before
they are taught to eat gives them check
for at least two weeks. Feeding them
in separate place to which they have
access, will accustom them to eating.
Vermonter tells how he conquered
kicking COW, as follows: Il tied her
short in the stable, and lifting one of hee
fore feet SO the knee would be bent up
close, / made loop of a small rope that
would slip easily over the knee and up on
her leg when so bent, holding the foot
up from the ground. After 80 adjusting
the loop / would slip a small round
stick in between the rope and the joint /
of her knee that the loop would not /
come of. She had to stand on three /
legs, or if she moved, down she would |

Somebody's child is dying-dyng with the flush

Pleasure Tours to the Allegheny Mount
aims and Cresson.
Following up the line of policy pursued
In the last two years the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will this season run
three select excursions to Creseon and the
Allegheny Mountains. There is no sec
ton Of country in America that is more
beautiful and notwithstanding, and none
richer in the variety extent and beauty
of It's scenery. Cresson may be consider
ed the capital of this realm, and its mag
nifcent hotel, the Mountain House, is an
abiding placs constructed, equipped, and
conducted In such manner as to make
It easily the first mountain resort of the
land. 1t is situated on the very crest of
the mountains, and In the midst of the
aboriginal forests, which bounds the
outer limits of the grounds with its heroic
trees. Beside emf lying an atmosphere of
the utmost purity and climate always
coil and fresh, the grounds also furnish
the celebrated springs that have made
the name of Creeson famous.
The vicinity of Cressen is ,one of the
most interesting portions of the Alleghen
4, les. The outlying country is full of
places OF note, all Of which are connected
with Cressen either by rail or by excellent
roads leading through wildwood forest
and intervale. The planes of the old
Portage Road are few miles from the
hotel Ebensburg, Loretto, Johnstown,
Altoona, and the exciting ride over the
Bells Gap Railroad are all within easy
reach of sojourners at Cresson, and serve
! to make up diversity of diversion the
like of which can nowhere else be found.
The dates for the excursions have been
fixed for Thursdays, September I'd, 9th,
and 10th. A special train will leave
Broad st. Station, Philadelphia, at 1890
a. m. 1t will be composed of standard
coaches and be run through on fast time,
arriving at Cresson early in the evening.
observation cars will be attached when
the mountains are reached, SO that the
famous scenery of the Horse Shoe Curve
and Allegrippus may be thoroughly en-
Ijoyed The Excursion tickets are limited
to $50 for each excursion. They will be
1good for ten days, and the rate includes
one days board at the Mountain House.
Reduced rates at the hotel viii also be ac-
corded those who remain longer than the
, first day.
These excursi ms are the crowning
events of grand series of trips which
has been afforded the public by the Penn
