aT Demopralic atcha Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. i4, 1898. FARM NOTES. —Use plenty of lime about the stable. —Nobody ever saw a successful farmer who had inferior stock. —Try to hire brains when you hire a farmhand. Brains pay everywhere. —Blue grass has strong roots, and hence will stand a good deal of dry weather. —Parsnips are a good vegetable, although some people do not seem to realize it. —Cut the burdock off just below the crown and it will be the last of the bur- dock. —Do not throw slops about the house. If you do disease germs will likely de- velop. —On clay soil, we would say to an in- quirer, either lime or raw hones will make a good fertilizer. —Cabbage is a good food for the milch cow ; and besides the leaves there are soft heads that are good for nothing else. — When the pig is in good health its tail curls ; when sick it droops. Hence the saying : The curl in a pig's tail is worth a dollar. —Those who neglect hot weather duties in the poultry yard will this fall be claim- ing they ‘‘did not have very good luck this season.”’ —Clay makes a better stable floor than planks, for it contains a little dampness which conduces to good feet, and the horse finds irregularities in its surface, and by placing the heels on the higher surface the tendons are relaxed, giving them needed rest, while in plank floors the slant is back- ward. making the animal stand with the tendons always on a strain. —A quart of bran mixed with a peck of cooked turnips will give better results than when the same proportions of bran or tur- nips are fed separately, for the reason that the turnips are composed mostly of water and the mixture is more complete as a food, while the bran is better digested when fed with the bulky food. Variety in feeding conduces to health, and the less valuable foods become more valuable by mixing them with substances that are more con- centrated and nutritious. —For experimenting to determine the beneiits of charcoal feeding, if any, four turkeys were confined in a pen and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and oats, and four others of the same brood were at the same time confined in another pen and fed daily on the same articles, but with one pint of very finely pulverized charcoal mixed with their food. These had also a plentiful sup- ‘ply of broken charcoal in their pen. The eight were killed the same day, and there was a difference of one and a-half pounds each in favor-of those supplied with char- coal. They were the fattest, and the meat was superior in point of tenderness and flavor. —If the land was well manured last spring a portion of the manure will remain over until now, although corn was grown on the land. The ingredients of fertilizers can be purchased of dealers in separate form or mixed. Phosphate, such as bone meal or ground rock, may beapplied in the fall when seeding, using the drill, about 200 pounds per acre being ample. It need not be acidulated. About 100 pounds of sulphate of potash may be applied at the same time with the phosphate on heavy soil, if preferred ; but as potash salts are very soluble it will be an advantage to ap- ply a mixture of 100 pounds each of nitrate of soda and sulphate of potash as early as possible in the spring by broadcasting, then harrowing the field of wheat as soon as it can be done, using a smooth harrow. —~Gravel usually found in most soils has been rounded by the air, water and heat, through wear and tear, says the Farm and Fireside. Unless sharp it is valueless. As soon as the fowl rounds off a sharp sub- stance in the gizzard itis voided ; hence, hens prefer sharp shells to ground gravel. The reason they eat more shells when lay- ing (or more sharp grit of any kind) is be- cause (when laying) more food is required, and consequently there is better digestion and assimilation. Because an egg has specks or flakes of lime on the shell does not imply that it is due to feeding shells, as the same thing occurs when no oysters shells are given. It may be due to the food also. As a rule, such hens are fat. Some kinds of gravel are limestone and of the same composition as oyster shells. There are millions of hens that never saw an oyster shell, and they do not lay soft- shelled eggs. Soft-shelled eggs always in- dicate overfeeding. - —~Concerning a new and peculiar disease of sweet corn, which causes the plant to wilt and die, a bulletin of the Geneva (N. Y.) station says: In the market gardens of Long Island early varieties of sweet corn are much subject to a wilt disease in which the fitbrovascular bundles of the plant are gorged with multitudes of short, yellow ba- cilli. The disease seems to be confined to sweet corn and is most destructive to early varieties. Field corn and popcorn are entire- ly exempt. Outside of Long Island it is positively known to occur only in Iowa, but probably careful search will show that it is widely spread. It is disseminated chiefly by means of the germs which cling to the seed, but also by manure, imple- ments and washing of the soil. As for remedial measures, the principal things to be observed are (1) care in the selection of seed and (2) the planting of resistant va- rieties. Lime and sulphur, applied to the soil, have been tried and proved unsuc- cessful. —It is always the best milker that gives the most trouble in milking. This is real-. ly cause and effect, for having the udder filled with milk makes it very sensitive to the touch, and it requires very careful handling not to hurt the cow. The natural results is that such cows are beaten and ill used, thus causing them to hold up the milk and usually to dosome vigorous kick- ing as the result of the pain they are suf- fering. If there is a large amount of milk thus retained it is likely to cause garget and permanently spoil the cow. Gen- erally if the cow kicks most milk- men will either kick back, or will take a safer means by getting far enough away so that the cow cannot kick them, and be- labor her over the back and sides. Such measures are’ cruel and wholly unneces- sary. If a ring is put in the cow’s nose and her head is fastened up so that she can- not get it down, she cannot kick. Each vicious kick is accompanied with a lower- ing of the head, as if to hook. When the cow goes to lower her head she finds that the ring in her hose hurts her, and that at once will make her desist.” It isa very simple method, and has always proven ef- fectual when tried. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Mrs. Annie Kline Rickert, once a famous Confederate spy, is now President of the Stockton and Toulumne county railroad, a 60-mile track in California. The first fall jackets brought out by the cool October afternoons have almost a saucy air of chic. The smartest among them savor very much of the masculine “*swaliow tail coat.”” But of course the feminine ver- sion of theswallow tail coat boasts instead of stiff shirt front, a graceful jabot of lace frills or a soft front of pleated mousseline de soie. If the jacket is closed at the front then the revers which are of all sizes and shapes are trimmed attractively to give the jacket a dressy air. The long coats, too, have heen completely revised since last fall. Most of them are longer at the back, rounded at the front and are trimmed with circular ruffles of the goods. Even the long capes, which are very numerous, are cut with this decided rounding point at the back and circular frills are generally in evidence. These and the long coats are almost invariably of tan or light gray cloth at this season. They are especially adapted to traveling and in their linings are no end of convenient pockets, large and small, for tucking away little traveling necessities. Beware of the Spanish flounce or any shap- ed flounce not cut and hung by the ex- perienced hand. Unless it sets well it is an abomination. To set well it must be cut by a pattern which is perfectly ac- curate. Despite fashion plates and the news that is sent out from time to time to create a boom in the corset trade, women are dress- ing more sensibly and more healthfully than ever before. They are wearing looser shoes and gloves and bodices. Their waists are bigger and the idea of an 18-inch waist being a beautiful possession is ex- tinct. The shirt waist has done more to make women dress more sensibly and the bicycle has also taught them the delight in weai- ing lightweight, loose-boned waists instead of that instrument of torture, the corset. But I have often wondered if women realize that the form which is corseted loosely will retain its’ prettiness of curve, its texture of skin and its firmness of muscle for years, while the woman who laces tightly becomes old in her figure just as soon as she removes the artificial support and the compressing bones of her corset. Every woman who laces tightly knows that her corset leaves unsightly ridges about her waist and reddens the skin. I have women among my patients, some of them 40 years old and the mothers of families, whose figures have all their youthful lines. These women have never become addicted to tight lacing. Some of them have worn corsets, hut they have not made the corset the most important item of dress. A sensible modification of the corset for a woman, who thinks she must have a cor- set to be fitted with a tailor gown or the evening gown, is to wear a loosely laced corset for the street and with evening dress. For the house she may wear lose empire gowns, and for a time at least remove the pressure about the waist. Yes, I know fat woman cannot do this. But women should not be fat. Fat is a disease. If your neck is scrawny and black bathe it night and morning in cold water rubbing it well at the time. Sometimes spend ten minutes in this way. Every night rub your cheeks and chin with a down- ward ovement. Both palms of your hands and finger tips as well, always cov- ered with a fattening skin lotion. Wool fat and cocoa butter are the two ingredients that composed the unguent. If your neck is disfigured by a rim of yel- low the water will help to whiten it but will not do the work fast enough so buy some peroxide of hydrogen and diluting it in a little water use 1t in place of plain water. Peroxide will whiten. There is no doubt about it. It is harmless, which is a great point in its favor. For this reason it is an invaluable toilet aid. Of course, it must not be dashed on the face, but carefully applied, for in using any lotion the eyes must be looked after and guarded from harm. An attractive going-away dress is of one of the new winter fabrics, with a black ground shot with color, such as green or mauve, and with a silk design of the same color. The skirt is trimmed with three rows of the fashionable silk passementerie in black and the prevailing color. and the full bodice, epaulettes and sleeves are diversed with bands of it. The tucked vest is silk, the same color as the design on the dress, with a frill on the left side, and the bows are made of satin to match. The hat is black, trimmed with broche ribbon resembling the dress, and mounted with pompon feathers of the newest styles. It may be said that where a separate skirt is worn the waist will be plaid. This is an almost universal rule. Itis a com- mon sight to see a plain black, brown, green or blue skirt trimmed only by regu- lation trimmings. worn with a glaring waist of most brilliant plaid design. These waists are now and then made of plaid silk, but more often of cloth, for it must be acknowledged that the cloth holds its color better than silk and can be worn to better advantage. There is something so fitting about a cloth dress for the street that most women much prefer it to silk. The colors of these plaids are red, blue, green, pink, and I might almost say the colors of the spectrum, violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, for all of these colors are seen in the brilliant au- tumn plaids. Plaid waists are, as a rule, untrimmed, although they may have very fancy lapels. A tall, high collar is worn with them and a brilliant necktie. Striped neckties are seen with bright plaid waists, and one necktie appeared on the street the other day of green and black and red stripe, worn with a waist of green and black and red plaid. As long as the waist and neck- tie are artisticly worn together a woman need not fear what colors she combines, for every color imaginable is worked into the new fall checks and plaids. The universal effect of the smartest hats is to invest the brow and front hair with a semi-halo reaching from ear to ear. The shape par excellence is the one with up- turned front. It goes up either in a little piquant point or rolls ‘‘oif the hair,” as they say. This a very dainty, neat little shape and especially becoming to a curly head. The English walking hat, with up- turned side, is still in much favor for shop- ping or rainy day wear. The woman with the long, oval face can still wear the for- ward-tilted hat and be in the vogue. Many cling to this shape and there are lots of them to be seen in the shops. The Game Laws in this State.

Allegheny Record :—It is estimated that the wealthiest gathering of men ever brought together will assemble in Pitts- burg this month at the Knights Templar conclave. It is said that theaverage means of a Knights Templar is $25,000 and on this basis the aggregate wealth of the Knights at Pittsburg would amount to $550,000,000. It will require a cash out- lay of $3,630,000 to equip the 22,000 Knights who will take part in the parade. _ ——The mission of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is to cure disease, and thousands of testi- monials prove it fulfills its mission. ——7You ought to take the WATCHMAN.
