Bewopvalic atcywom Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 21, 1898. cama FARM NOTES. —Boards set up on each side of a row, or inclosing several rows, will accomplish more than any known method in blanching celery perhaps with the least labor and will during a spell of cool, dry weather do the work nicely, and if your plants are thrifty and in condition to send up strong stems the result will be fair if not entirely satis- factory. If, however, there comes a wet spell followed by a hot sun, you may ex- pect some decayed stems and oecasionally a total loss of the weaker plants. —Dig away the earth around the peach trees to the depth of one foot and look carefuily for borers. Then swab the trunk a foot below and above the ground with thick whitewash, returning the soil to the tree and banking up six inches or a foot above the level of the ground, leaving the tree in that condition until next spring. As the moth lays her eggs near the level of the ground she will begin where the earth is banked up and when the embankment is removed the work of destroying the borers will be easier. Whitewash may be beneficially used on all parts of the tree. —It is usless to attempt to raise geese successfully if they are afraid of their at- tendant. They should be treated with great gentleness, and have full confidence in their keeper. A nervous, quick-mo- tioned, excitable or rough person may keep them so disturbed that they cannot thrive. If cooped at night in a tight house, or one having open windows protected by wire netting, loss from dogs, cats and other animals is prevented, but the bedding must be renewed daily and removed fre- quently. If this is not done or they are crowded too much and do not have suffi- cient air, their growth will be much less than if they are left out in the open. To make the best growth they should have succulent green food before them while they can see to eat. If shut in for a short time morning or evening, or on a stormy day, they should have a continual supply of freshly mown rye, oats, clover or corn fodder. Otherwise they will fret and lose much in weight. They may be pastured from the start on growing rye, oats, millet and other green crops to their great advantage, or may be turned onto those crops when grass be- comes old or dries up in hot weather. If shut off the plat before it is eaten too close it will grow up again and may thus be eaten down several times. Such crops should be thickly sown. Plant about five bushels of seed to the acre. By plant- ing one piece after another, a succession of green crops may be had (even in the South) that will furnish the best of succulent food through the hot weather, and even in winter. —Failures to secure good crops of fruit result from so many causes that it is some- times difficult to understand why failure should result when all indications are ap- parently favorable. One of the principal causes is that the flowers may not be fer- tilized. So important is this matter that the Kansas experiment station has issued a special bulletin on the subject which will be of invaluable service to many. To en- ter into details, it may be stated that fer- tilization is the union of the pollen with the ovules, which are the small bodies which develop into seeds, and it is the same in plants and animals. A perfect flower consists of stamens, which produce the pollen, and pistils, which contain the ovules. In some flowers the stamens and pistils may be produced in separate flowers on the same plant, as with corn, or on dif- ferent plants, such as willows or cotton- wood. When the pistils are fertilized by pollen from the same flowers the flowers are said to be ‘‘self-fertilized,”” which hap- pens only with perfect flowers. Such is the case with wheat and other cereals, as well as with some other plants, but most plants, especially those with showy flowers, are fertilized with pollen from a different flower, being ‘‘cross-fertilized,”” which usually produces hardier progeny than self-fertilization, but does not apply to “hybridization,’’ in which the pistil is fer- tilized by pollen from a different species. With the common edible fruits the pollen is transferred from one flower to another by insects, though with some plants the cross-fertilization may be effected by the winds, and the nectar secreted by flowers is sought by insects, especially bees, which carry pollen away on their bodies. But there are several important reasons why fruit may fail to set. First, there may be an insufficiency of pollen, which applies particularly to the strawberry, which is avoided by planting thestaminate varieties alongside the pistillate kinds. Second, weather that is unfavorable for bees may cause lack of pollen being carried to fruit blossoms, or when trees are covered with netting, or even continuous spraying dur- ing the flowering periods, which may in- terfere with the work of bees. As the per- iods when some flowers are receptive may be short, the results will be more certain if the conditions for bees are then favorable. It is customary for growers to rely on bees without knowing if the bees are numerous, and, as the bees in a hive may be destroyed by a severe winter, or those belonging to some bee-keeper may have been sold or destroyed in some manner, there is at all periods of fertilization a certain degree of risk incurred by the fruit grower who does not keep bees, and, although experience shows that bees, under certain circum- stances, may fly two or three miles, yet it is safer to have hives within half a mile of the fruit trees or vines. Fruit trees dif- fer greatly in their peculiarities. In some varieties of fruits the flowers are self- sterile and refuse to take pollen even from another flower on the same plant. Fer- tilization can then take place only when the pollen comes from another plant—that is, from a plant arising from a separate seed. The improved varieties of orchard and small fruits now used are reproduced by cuttings, grafts, buds, layers or other similar methods instead of from seed : hence they are merely one plant cut up into a great many parts ; therefore, in self- sterile varieties (smch as Bartlett pears, Brighton, Merrimac and Wilder grapes, etc.), the pollen must be obtained from some other variety. For that reason iso- lated plants or large orchards of a single variety may fail to set truth. To prevent such failure mix the varieties. One of the quickest modes to remedy cases which have reached maturity is to top graft an- other variety upon them in sufficient quan- tity. The Seckel and Kieffer pears and Concord, Niagara, Agawam and Green Mountain grapes are among the varieties that are self-fertile. It is then too late to remedy defects after the fruit is lost, as trees flower but once a year, and it is, therefore, important that the matter of staminate and pistillate varieties should receive careful attention. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. The electric light plant at Long Beach, Cal., is managed by a woman, Mrs. Iva E. Tutt, who is superintendent and principal owner as well. And how the modest violet flourisheth ! From that tremendous specimen of deep velvet with sable edges over white satin with its graceful flounce, and that other gorgeous affair in the shape of a cloak, all the way up to a mere touch at the neck, this shade prevails. In paler tints is the brocade, with floral edge and unique lace drapery at the front and sides. The belt, the tiny sleeves and the little fan-like rever in front are velvet. The muffler belt, which isa large silk handkerchief made into a girdle, is one of the latest adaptations of fashionable wom- en. There are two designs, one being nar- row and the other broad, like a girdle. The belt is made by folding a brilliant silk square into a narrow band, measuring about 46 inches from corner to corner around the waist, and knotted at the side in two flowing ends and fastened by a bright buckle or clasp of gold or silver. This makes a unique and pretty finish for a waist. The handkerchief girdle is shirred to a high point in front, and the shirrings at each side have hones to hold them in place. At the back it is gathered into a small shir and the corner ends are allowed to fall in two points, which show the bor- der and make a finish. These girdles %re more graceful than ribbons around the waist. A noted city dressmaker affirms that out of more than a dozen traveling costumes included among the bridal outfits she has very recently sent out from her establish- ment, 10 were made with a seven or five- gored skirt, and a jacket which was to be worn over a very handsome silk waist. Each young lady in giving her order for this particular gown insisted upon the ad- dition of this much-worn, much-abused waist, which will, in spite of all opposi- tion, appear in new and elegant guises among very many of the season’s most at- tractive models. One style of suit made for an October bride is of rather dark, fawn-colored cheviot serge, the skirt lined with water-melon pink taffeta, with a pinked ruffle of the same material at the hem around the inside. The closely fitted English jacket is lined to match, and the waist is of two shades of pink, one rather deep, with a little vest and revers covered with white silk, over- laid with many rows of the narrowest black velvet ribbon. The collar is made to cor- respond and the cuffs are small and flaring. The hat has a full, soft crown of cream and fawn velvet in a much-raised lattice pat- tern, and the curving turn-up brim is of brown velvet put on in a full puff at the edge. Itis trimmed with brown ostrich tips on one side, and a gold and brown pheasant’s breast on the other, with touches of deep rose velvet on the side and at the extreme back. Braiding on skirts, put on ina trailing design, in which the bow-knot designs ap- pear, is a noticeable feature of many fash- ionable street costumes. Circular flounces are seen on every hand, mostly headed by a cording of the same material or by felt bands. The new short black silk coats are often ornamented with large silver, brass or enameled buttons. Sleevesare perfectly smooth, only a slight frill at the top pre- vents their being a skin-tight fit. Now is the tine to look after your hair. Women complain of their hair falling out, at this season and a constant desire to scratch the scalp, the dry appear- ance of the locks. They notice it ; it irritates them, but they do noth- ing to alleviate it, thinking nature will take care of itself. Nature does, but She makes you suffer first, for she wants elp. If all these symptoms have appeared— and eight out of ten women so complain —this is what the specialist will do for you: Put on freely a tonic that softens, loosens, oils. Quinine is used sparingly en a scalp and hair dried out by salt bathing. This tonic is rubbed in by thirty min- utes of massage. Each part of the scalp is vigorously rubbed. Little by little the oil soaks in, and the locks remain glossy. After the tangles are combed out, the hair is divided and sub-divided and a stiff, elastic brush used. For your hair in the evening blonde women are fond of huge rosettes of black tulle, while dark-haired girls adopt white, scarlet or turquoise blue wreaths and bows of the stuff. Sometimes a big cockade of poppy tulle pinned daringly just above the left temple, with three smaller pompons, adjusted tastefully toward the back, will brighten up a dark face like a touch of rouge. Tulle bows, as often as not, have jeweled centers, or the scarf of tulle is pin- ned down with a jeweled, winged but- terfly. The rise and fall of the pompadour has been publicly observed, but there seems to be no time when wavy hair is not distictly fashionable, while the wise and observant women have thrown away the small bob- curls they wore all summer at the nape of the neck. Gray hair, which bad a marked vogue not long ago, is now considered a blight on any woman's looks, and in conse- quence no gray hair is seen, and for the evening the most airy coiffures are coun- tenanced. Registration at Wellesley College shows the total number of students to be 653, of whom 188 are Freshmen. Little boys are clothed in harmony with the present military atmosphere and their capes fluttering in the Autumn breezes, show the red cloth Jining and brass buttons belonging to a soldier’s garb. Even in sizes for three years of age, an army blue suit has a military cape and three large brass buttons at the front. Some capes have a red hood, which may verge toward the feminine, but nevertheless are very at- tractive. For those who prefer coats, comes a box-coat of genuine Irish frieze, lined with gray cloth. As a matter of course, follow braided suits for boys from four to thirteen years (usually with short trousers) in pavy-blue, army-blue and cadet-gray ; the jacket buttoning in front with five brass buttons set in braid frogs. Sailor suits for children from three to twelve years are made of all-wool serge, the collars handsomely trim- med with from six to twelve rows of white silk braid; hand-embroider- ed anchor on shield and sleeve, finishing being given by a handsome silk neck-tie. An especially pretty blue suit, has yellow embroidery on white shield, and also on the sleeves ; collar piped with yellow cloth, and yellow star embroidered in each corner of collar. A cadet-gray suit is similarly trimmed in crimson, and with any sailor suit a contrasting collar may be used with excellent effect. Jenks and Quayism. Some Extracts From the Jefferson County States- man’s Speeches That Show Clearly Where He Stands On That Subject. It has been alleged that the nomina- tion of Mr. Jenks for governor by the Democratic convention at Altoona was brought about through the influence of Quay. Some of Mr. Swallow’s stumpers are even yet so asserting in their speeches. The allegation is absurd upon its face. Quay knows Jenks, knows him to be an honorable, high toned gentleman, who can neither be corrupted, nor by any power swerved Irom the straight line of what he es- teems to be right and for the good of the people. Had Quay been in position to exert any influence in the Demo- cratic state convention, George A. Jenks is about the last man in the state for whose success he would have em- ployed it. Lest there should remain in any Democratic or independent Republican mind any doubt as to where Mr. Jenks stands on Quay and Quayism, the fol- lowing brief extracts from his cam- paign speeches, etc., are herewith pre- sented: “It is well known and cannot be de- nied that Senator Quay has ruled leg- islatures for years past. His will was the law of the majority, and no bill of any importance was passed without his approval, nor defeated without his con- sent.”—Interview with Philadelphia Ledger, Sept. 1, 1898. ‘Upon the Republican party, with its glorious traditions, there has grown an ulcer. M. S. Quay, for twenty-seven years an office holder, twice a United GEORGE A. JENKS. States senator and again a candidate for election, has acquired his power by keeping an eye single to what benefits him."”—Speech at Warren, Pa., Sept. 16, 1898. “Quayism is now the proper name of the Republican party in Pennsylvania. The particular characteristic of its managers is selfishness, as all officials are chosen, not for their peculiar fit- ness, but because of their willingness or ability to strengthen the hands of Quay and help him throttle the will of the people.”—Speech at Erie, Sept. 17, 1898. “The concentration of power in the hands of a single man in a republic is dangerous. The czar could not rule here because the people, still have the spirit of liberty, yet they allow them- selves to be ruled just the same by Czar Quay through indirection.”— Speech at Oil City, Sept. 20, 1898. “The real contest and issue in this election is between Quayism and the people of the commonwealth of Penn- sylvania. The question you must an- swer on your conscience and on your character is: Who shall rule, one sin- gle, autocratic ruler, or the voice ofthe people honestly expressed by ballot.”— Speech at Meadville, Sept. 19, 1898. “The whole of Quayism is corrupt and rotten, not only'in dollars and cents, but in the principles that under- lie it. The government of the whole state by any one man or by 50 men, is a violation of the constitution ‘of Pennsylvania.””—Speech at New Castle, Pa., Sept. 21, 1898. “We must settle this Quayism by saying that the people’s rule should be resumed, and .these wrongs should be no longer perpetrated.”—Speech at Pittsburg, Sept. 24, 1898. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN.

The following carefully prepared table shows how the Republican ma- chine has provided for political work- ers and their friends by securing sal- aried offices for them at the expense of the taxpayers.

He would ably and faithfully represent the state at Washington. ————————————— Had a Hand in It. “What do you know about war?’ ar- rogantly asked the curbstone statesman. ‘You never took part in a battle.’ ‘I bad a hand in the affair at Santiago,”’ replied with equal arrogance the factory owner, whose most trusted operative had volunteered and gone to the front. ——You ought to take the WATCHMAN.
