The Real "GOOd Fellow"

The real good fellow" is the
fellow who knows thing
good about everybody and tells
it. He never knocks on his
neighbor or digs up the past. He
always lends a helping hand to
the fellow who is up against it
and gives him a chance to make
good. He never forgets to do
and say the little things that
make his wife happy. His chill
dren find him a jolly chum and
an ever-ready playmate. His
home is a haven of love, happi-
ness and contentment. The real
good fellow" is the worlds
greatest asset.

Old Tortoise.

David D. Ham; of Pleasant
Ridge, writes US that he recent
ly found a tortoise on the ridge
back of George w. Morton's and
on the shell of the reptile were
carved the initials and date, P.
H. D., 1885. He said that peo-
pie have told him of having found
many others in that vicinity
marked the same way, and that
the carving is without doubt the
work of his uncle, Peter Deshong
deceased. The shells of these
tortoise present a very old-look-
ing appearance.

Sweet ClOver--.NO Flies.

Having heard that sweet clo-
yer would keep flies away from
stock, but never having tried it,
we asked William B. Ranck, of
Bethel township where we know
sweet clover grows, if there was
anything in it." He said that
he frequently gathers it along
the roadside and fixes it to the
harness, and flies will not trouble
the horses.
If livestock Craze, or rest, in
pastures where this clover r
abounds, observing farmers say
that flies will not trouble them.
1t is well known that all kinds of
livestock thrive better if they
can be kept free from torment
ing flies. Young calves can be
soworried by these pests that
they do not gain rapidly, and if
for no other reason, it seems to
US that it would pay to encourage
the growth of sweet clover on
grounds where young animals are
kept.
One reason why our expert
ment stations have encouraged
the use of sweet clover is, that
it will grow where other clovers
refuse to take root. All know
the value of clovers as soil build
ers and it surely would be better
to have sweet clover than none
at all.
Many do not know what sweet
clover is. They seem to think
that the little dwarf, white-blos-
somed clover found in fence cor
ners is what is meant when writ
ers speak of it. Instead of at
tanning a height of six or eight
inches, like the lawn clover just
mentioned, sweet clover grows
sometime seven feet long, and
stalks growing singly and not
crowded by other growth make
bushes like little trees four or
five feet high, with main stems
as thick as your finger. When
grown in sod, it makes fine pas
ture and hay.

Blue Thistle Valuable.

A weed is any plant that grows
where it is not wanted. There
fore, if corn, wheat, or clover,
grew where it crowded out the
desired crop, they would very
properly be weeds. We have
been accustomed to consider all
kinds of thistles as very unde-
sirable weeds. But, if one of
them can be turned to good ac-
count, it at once loses much of
its Objectionable qualities in the
farmers estimation. Blue this
tie has been successfully made to
replenish humus to barren soils
in Big Cove. During recent
years, summer drought has made
it impossible to grow sufficient
vegetation for ploughing down
something every man KIN o w s
must be done if he would pro-
vide for Natures demand. Blue
thistle cannot be killed by any
drought to which this section
may be subject, and within a
few years, it took" whole fields
that had not been ploughed for a
number of years. Owners Of
these fields waited until the this
tie was well grown and in bloom.
1t was then turned under, and it
was found that the big roots, to-
gether with the great mass Of
tops, decayed and filled the soil
with humus, and following crops
were greatly benefited.
1t must not be taken for grant
ed that Clark McGovern, William
Woodall, and many other Cove
farmers are advocating the cul-
tivation of blue thistle to the ex-
clusion of clovers and other COM
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1915-06-03

mon soil builders; but like sensi-
BILE observers, they know that
organic matter must be returned
to soil, and if nothing else can be
had, we heartily agree with them
that blue thistle is "the thing"
Rag weed has been used for the
same purpose by letting it grow
until the stems became woody
and then turning it under.

CaterpillarS Bad.

The common tent caterpillars
are unusually bad in this part OF
the county this spring. In some
places, practically all the leaves
have been eaten from some of
the trees. 1t has been suggested
that war be made on the wild
cherry trees of the county. 1t is
we'll known that this tree is the
broader of caterpillars to a great
er extent than any other kind,
especially the low, bushy cherry
trees that spring up everywhere
along fences.

OLDER But STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties Of Scott's Emulsion which Isl

blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol In Scotts.
