FARM NOTES.
—During the next two months is one of
the best seasons for cleaning up the farm,
and in the majority of farms there is plenty
of opportunity or need for this kind of
work. After the plowing for wheat is done
the manure can all be cleaned out of the
stables, sheds and feed lots and hauled out
and scattered broadcast on the land intend-
ed for wheat. The work of properly pre-
paring the land for the reception of the
seed will incorporate sufficiently with the
soil. Weeds may be cut down in the mea-
dows and pastures and along the fence
rows to a good advantage. Many of them,
if cut down before they mature seeds, will
be effectually killed out.
This is one of the best reasons for killing
out sprouts and briars. With the excep-
tion of sassafras and persimmon almost all
kinds may be effectually killed out by cut-
ting down reasonably close to the ground
almost any time in August. With these
two in nearly all cases the only safe plan
is to grub out, cutting them off at least six
inches below the surface. While this plan
requires considerable work, in the end it
will prove much the more economical.
This is so much the case that generally it
will be better to thoroughly clean an acre
in this way than to spend the same amount
of time and labor cutting off and burning
a larger acreage, but doing less effective
work.
Cutting close to the ground and letting
lay until dry and then burning will kill
out many weeds, moss and sprouts, but
with persimmon and sassafras the tops will
rarely be killed down so deep but that the
roots will send up shoots next year, and in
a short time they will be as much in the
way as ever. .
By keeping the farm clear the value is
materially increased to say nothing of the
better satisfaction in working it.
—The cost of noise in the dairy can be
figured to a certainty ; and the man who
doubts this may gain some valuable infor-
mation by making a few experiments on
his own account.
A neighbor of mine has been doing
this and the result is decidedly startling.
This man has a dairy of about twenty
cows, mostly grade Jerseys. A quiet man
by nature, his cows were accustomed to
receive only the kindest treatment.
A few years ago this neighbor bought a
Babcock tester for use in his own dairy. One
day he directed the hired man to shut the
cows in the yard and let the dog in with
them. The hired man thought his em-
ployer must be going daft but he obeyed
instructions. The two men took sticks in
their bands and went into the yard with
the cows and began to shout, the dog bark-
ed and pandemonium reigned for a few
minutes, although not a blow was struck
nor .a cow bitten. The herd was then
brought intq the barn and milked.
The falling off in yield was quite notice-
able, but the test when applied showed a
loss of forty per cent. in butter fat on the
basis of the week previous ! Think of that,
ye men who yourselvesshout, kick, thump
and bang your cows and permit the hired
help to do the same.
Suppose these cows gave ata milking
three hundred pounds of five per cent. milk
when treated kindly. The loss in weight
placed at a low figure must have been at
least five per cent. or fifteen pounds.
While the loss in butter fat, forty cent.
would bring the test down to three per
cent.
What does this really mean? At twenty
cents per pound my neighbor’s three hun-
dred pounds of milk, testing five per cent.,
would have been worth to him $3.00. As
a matter of fact, it brought him only $1.74,
a loss on one milking of $1.26. After such
a result who can wonder if this dairyman
laid down some laws and insisted on their
rigid enforcement ?
—Some of the expert pickers of poultry
can take the feathers off a fowl so quickly
as to astonish one who does not understand
the operation. It is done by dipping each
carcass in cold water and allowing it to
drip. Finely pulverized rosin is then
dusted over and among the feathers, which
causes the feathers to stick to the hands,
even the pin feathers coming out with but
little difficulty. Use the common crude
rosin, about half a teaspoonful for each
fowl.
—Nut growing is profitable, but it re-
quires years to bring a nut tree to a stage
of growth where it will play well, hence
only young farmers are induced to devote
land in that direction. Walnuts, chest-
nuts and butternuts would improve with
cultivation. In afew years walnut trees
will be so scarce that the farmer who has a
grove will secure his own price therefor,
the timber being valuable.
—The soapsuds on a farm are of value,
and there is a considerable quantity made
during a year. If added to the manure
heap they are excellent in assisting to por-
tect the manure from loss by escape of
ammonia. There are certain fat acids
formed from the soapsuds, which unite
with substances in the heap, producing
salts, and as decomposition progresses there
is a breaking down of compounds and the
formation of others, the soapsuds perform-
ing more than their share in the alterations
of the substances in the heap.
—There are not many farmers who would
be willing to spread 40 or 50 loads of stable
manure over the apple orchard, yet if they
would do so they would find out that apples
are profitable, as the manure would increase
the yield, improve the quality and make
them more salable in market. If the manure.
is not obtainable a fertilizer consisting of
400 pounds bone meal, 300 pounds sulphate
of potash and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda
will not be too large an application for one
acre.
—One reason why
bring low prices
cut in digging.
injured in its tender and moist state it rots
quickly. Hardly one grower, ina dozen:
realize how tender freshly dug potatoes
really are, and the habit of roughly dump-
ing them into barrels or wagons is almost
universal. Then there is the common
practice of assorting them as soon as they
are dug, which should not be done unless
they are designed for immediate shipment.
After digging, store the tubers in a cool,
dry and dark place that should be kept at
an uniform temperature. Assort into
grades after they have been dug for two or
three weeks, and if they are to be stored
for any cousiderable length of time, they
should be closely examined at least once a
week for diseased specimens. In market-
ing, the same careful handling should he
observed as in harvesting in order to put
the tubers on the market in the best possi-
ble condition for the highest prices.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Miss Martha Baker, a teacher in Boston’s
public schools, is now enjoying her first ex-
tended vacation after a service of 47 years.
Skirts and stitching ! This illiterative
statement seems to cover the ground over
which the purveyors of the modes have
lingered longest. They have certainly
been most moved on the subject of skirts,
and as for stitching, well you’ve already
seen enough to realize its tremendous
vogue. Row upon row of this modest
trimming ornaments the plainest and
cheapest of frocks just as it does the most
elaborate and expensive. Even the latest
example from Paquin, which is fur
trimmed and embroidered, is also stitched.
Its most notable feature though, after the
cut, is its fur revers, which are of sable,
edged with white broadtail. You’llsurely
admit that’s new! The scheme is worked
out with broadcloth in a beautiful shade
between plum and mulberry as a basis.
The redingote, which is cut off at about
the knees, shows richly embroidered white
satin between the fur revers and small
pink silk lined black velvet finishes at
wrist and throat. The skirt is a sham,
and oh ! so scant. The cloth only extends
a bit above the knees on the silk lining of
the same shade. The Dewey flounce at the
edge is bound with sable and headed by a
circular stiched band—any number of
stitchings. It’s no end of a beauty.
The latest in skirts. And you must hear
about the new plaid skirt! It is of thrill-
ing interest to up-to-date femininity, for
equipped in it she may face the wildest of
winds for her morning’s constitutional
without a thought of fear. If she’s yet in
the school-going period she’ll be equally
enthusiastic. This skirt is strictly tailor-
made in the new shape with a yoke and in-
nocent of any openings in the back, as
well as any fullness. It opens very smart-
ly in front, and provides walking room by
means of the Dewey flounce. And now
for the material. It is of that stunning
plaid which figures so effectively in the
golf capes—double-faced Montagnac. It is
made plaid-side out, and has a three-inch
black satin facing round the foot. You
may choose ang clan you like, the dark
quiet of the 42d, or the gayer Royal Stuart.
These plaids cost $3.50 a yard. A shirt
waist of black satin or taffeta is first choice
to wear with them. With this up-to-date
skirt the lucky possessor will surely cast
away the unnecessary petticoat in favor of
bloomers.
A la garibaldi. The mention of a shirt
waist reminds one that there’s also a latest
in these most useful garments, and this
latest is of French flannel, in the truest
shade of golf red, which is the veriest scar-
let. Instead of taking new frills upon it-
self and aping or striving to out-do the shirt
and fancy waists to which we are accus-
tomed, this little terror of a garment sim-
gly goes away back, and patterns itself up-
on the Garibaldi model. It will certainly
be very cheery wear on chill winter days,
on top of a black or dark colored skirt in
the jauntiest fashion. What say you?
Who could wear a frown down to breakfast
over so bloodthirstily gay a garment ?
Thomas A. Edison declares that women
have more quickness and insight about ma-
chinery than men have, and he prefers to
employ them in carrying out the details of
his electrical inventions. He is credited
with saying: ‘“Women have more sense
about machinery in a minute than men
have in a lifetime,”” and he shows his faith
in them by keeping 200 women on his pay-
roll.
At last definite news has been received
from the seat of fashion, and news that has
been looked for eagerly—as to whether
separate waists are to be fashionable this
autumn and winter. The verdict is favora-
ble, and judging from the number of varie-
ties of the waists that as yet have been
shown, the craze is as violent as ever.
Shirt waists of wash material are not con-
sidered smart for winter wear, and the
flannel and velveteen shirts made on the
same line as the summer shirts are suita-
ble only for house wear, or under some
heavy coat. They are not to be included
among the new silk waists that are all fit-
ted and boned. Taffeta silk waists are a
delusion and a snare, and the buyer there-
of is gambling as much as though she
bought a lottery ticket, for there is no
guarantee given as to the wearing qualities
All the same, women continue to spend
from $5 to $40 on these waists, made in
much the same styles as were fashionable
all summer, tucked and shirred, some in
wide tucks, some in narrow, in tucks
lengthwise and in tucks sideways, with
feather stitching and without, but all made
on a fitted lining and with a much more
trim and smart look. White, black, blue
and all the colors are used, but just at
present the white and black are the smart-
est. :
All these waists are worn with stock col-
lars of silk and the narrow turned down
linen collar, with hemstitching and em-
broidery and finished at the throat with a
bow of lace or a bunch of ribbon. In the
velveteen and the flannel waist there is ab-
solutely no change from last year, except
that the sleeves are a trifle smaller. They
are to be worn in all colors, the reds just
now being cousidered the smartest.
White lace waists are worn with most
incongruous skirts, with silk, either col-
-ored or black, or cloth, but black lace
waists are smart only with the black skirts.
Some of the newest lace waists are made
up over corded white silk, while the lace
covers the front and back of the waist and
is cut V-shape at the neck to show the
white silk again in a fine tucked yoke. A
Sicilienne of a pale shade of mauve is
made in this fashion and covered with a
yellowish lace is extremely effective and
one of the newest styles. It is cut so as to
make the waist lines exaggeratedly long,
and the sleeves that are so long they al-
| most cover the bands have lace ruffles at
| the wrists.
; potatoes frequently

When the tuber is thus
~ Lace jackets are to he worn all winter
for the same purpose as the lace waists.
Many are sleeveless, and although at first
it seems odd to see black cloth sleeves with
a white lace body, the effect is not too
striking, and the jabots of lace at the
throat and ruffles at the wrists, with the
bright satin or velvet color and belt, make
‘it smart and attractive.
The circular flounce skirt, with a stitch-
ed band of the cloth to head it, is a great
favorite. Some of the new skirts have a
straight front breadth, with the flounce
running around the back and sides from
this. Then the strap of cloth runs down
the front seams and continues around at:
the top of the ruffle. A jacket with strap-
ped Seams usually accompanies this style
skirt.
Both jackets and skirts are lined with
satin, either black or colored, taffeta of
tailor quality orsurah not being considered
nearly so new or so stylish.
Tales From the Lower End of Nittany
Valley.
Nearly every community has a grist of
anecdotes that when told are always enter-
taining. There are little stories of the
early history, the development, the politics,
the church choir troubles or of eccentric
people in localities that will always
bear retelling and it is not often that they
lose any of their spice in being handed
about from one generation to another.
The tales which appear below are about an
eccentric old fellow down in Nittany val-
ley who is the unwitting object of much
fun, wherever he roams.
Tom Miller is a character who circulates
around the lower end of Nittany and Sugar
valleys. He is not quite sound mentally,
yet there is a good deal of originality in
his ways. He wears an old plug hat and
clothes of queer cut, and when he wanders
around, the little folks put on their Sun-
day faces. Tom is the butt of many a joke,
but does not always come out second.
Some years ago a party of boys in one of
the villages down there were tormenting
him quite a while, Tom tried to get away
from them but in vain. They were in
front of a store with large plate glass win-
dows. Tom picked up a stone and sent it
into the window and then disappeared.
Next day Tom was in Sugar valley and the
crowd had the glass to pay for.
Many years ago, when Washington Fur-
nace was in operation and a busy place,
Tom worked at odd jobs about the furnace
and forge. He was the victim of all kinds
of jokes and pranks on the part of the men
about the works. Among the forgemen
was one, whom we will call B, who was es-
pecially fond of teasing Tom ; never neg-
lecting an opportunity to send him on a
fool’s errand. One summer the Second Ad-
ventists held a revival in the school house
at the Furnace and a number professed
conversion. Among the converts was Mr.
B. About the close of the meeting the
minister announced that on the following
Sunday the converts would be immersed in
the Furnace dam. The Sunday came and
so did an immense crowd to witness the
immersion. Foremost in the crowd,
perched on a stump, where he could see and
hear the whole proceeding, was our friend
Tom. The services began, the minister
taking the converts into the water dipped
them the required three times and then
led them out. Among the last to go in
was Mr. B. Tom, who had been watch-
ing the proceedings with open eyes and
mouth, now showed unusual excite-
ment. The minister and Mr. B went
down into the water. B was dipped three
times, as was the others. Tom was watch-
ing intently and at this stage sang out:
“Give him another dip, Brother Jones,
give him another dip, he’s a filthy chap !”’
The reader can imagine the effect of this
explosion on the crowd aud the solemnity
of the occasion was entirely destroyed.
Tom loafed a good deal in a certain store
in one of the valleys. During his absence
on one of his periodical trips one of the
daughters of the proprietor of this store
was married to a Mr. A, a western man,
and an entire stranger to Tom. On Tom’s
return, going into the store, some one in-
troduced Mr. A as Miss B’s husband.
Tom proceeded to take a good look at the
gentleman ; then broke out: ‘Well, well,
so Miss B has married a fellow like that.
when I've offered, time and again, to mar-
ry her myself. Too bad, too bad I’ Mr.
A. was about to put Tom out of the store,
but the others laughingly interfered and
explained.

Mormons Again Controlling Utah.
The death of Wilford Woodruff, Presi-
dent of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat-
ter-Day Saints, and the election of Lorenzo
Snow as his successor, recalls a declaration
by the late President a year ago that seems
to have escaped general notice. It was at
the semi-annual conference of the church
and in the presence of 12,000 Mormons,
that President Woodruff made the follow-
ing deliverance, remarkable in view of the
conditions under which Utah was admitted
into the Union :
“The dy has come when the mouths of Wil-
ford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon, Joseph F,
Smith and the twelve apostles should not be
closed, God Almighty requires you to unite in
your temple work and unite in your politics. You
should unite to elect your city council and also
your Democracy and Republicanism, and, as Lat-
ter-Day Saints, unite, and you will not be taxed
to death.”
Such a deliverance by the head of the
church is equivalent to a command. It is
now charged by the Presbytery of Utah
that the Mormons have followed the in-
junction, returned to politics, and gained
control of all political party organizations
in the State. The manifesto of the Pres-
bytery isa very serious and detailed ar-
raignment.
MILLIONS GIVEN AWAY.—It is certain-
ly gratifying to the public to know of one
concern in the land who are not afraid to
be generous to the needy and suffering.
The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Dis-
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds
have given away over ten million trial hot-
tles of this great medicine ; and have the
satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely
cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asth-
ma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all diseases
of the Throat, Chest, and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on F. Potts Green, drug-
gist, and get a’ trial bottle free. Regular
