EE —— FARM NOTES. —Kerosene destroys insects, and for that reason it is used lavishly on certain trees, but it is not safe to use it on peach trees, as such experiments have resulted in loss of trees. —Tke Keifer pear tree grows very rap- idly, and is liable to have a top out of pro- portion to the diameter of the trunk. The remedy is to keep the trees cut back when they reach great height, especially the first year. —Small potatoes are worth but little in market, but when used for stock on the farm they possess value, because there is no hauling or transportation charges on them, and for stock they are just as service- able as the choice ones. —A breeder of sheep who has lost some of his animals from the dogs of his neigh- bors believes that instead of putting bells on sheep every dog should have a bell or be destroyed. It is an idea worthy of con- sideration by those interested in protecting the sheep from dogs. —It is something surprising how rapidly a peach tree will seem to recover when all the dead wood is removed and the limbs cut back. If the trunk has not been des- troyed by borers the tree will take on a new existence and begin to bear again, al- though previously nearly dead. —Before fruit can be stored away for win- ter with safety care must be taken that no unsound fruit goes to the cellar. A single imperfect apple may cause the loss of all in the barrel. Even the cellar must be in good condition and kept at an even tem- perature, not too warm or too cold, and should be first thoroughly cleaned and whitewashed. —It is sometimes more profitable to use a thousand pounds of fertilizer per acre than a smaller quantity, but where such large amounts are used over a field of ten or twenty acres the cash outlay is consid- erable. The majority of farmers who use fertilizers every year apply about 200 pound per acre, but never omit to use it during any season. —Tonics are well in their place, but those who use tonics and egg foods indis- criminately do more harm than good. In a majority of cases too much food is the cause of the illness of fowls, or the hens do not lay because they are fat, the use of tonics being unnecessary. The best invig- orator on a cold morning is a drink of warm water or a warm mess, and then the next most important essential is exercise. —When an apple orchard is cut up with the saw and hatchet, as is done every fall by those who have too many limbs on the trees, it indicates that no attention was given to trimming the trees when they were young. The proper time to shape a tree is during the first year of its growth. It is not profitable to compel trees to grow large branches, only to remove them later. The pruning knife can be of more service at the start. —Those who buy cows do so at much risk, for the reason that it is impossible to know the disposition of a cow until she is brought on the farm and tested. A cow that kicks, or which ‘‘holds up’ her milk, isa nuisance although she may excel in some other characteristics. If one is com- pelled to purchase a cow let it be done from some person who is known to be re- liable, but never buy from a stranger or at an auction unless with a guarantee for all the claims made in her behalf. -—Early spinach is seeded in the fall. The ground should be plowed and made fine, plenty of well rotted manure applied, and the seed sown in rows about 16 inches apart, which should be done with a seed drill having a small roller to cover and press the earth on the seeds, the depth of planting of the seeds being about half an inch. The seed should be sown without delay, before the cold sets in. When the plants are up let them grow until the ground is frozen and then cover with straw which should be removed early in the spring. Spinach is a very hardy plant and is very seldom injured by cold. —1It is the young animal that requires the most care in winter, but it is the old one that receives the preference, and the rea- son is that the old one may be giving a return of some kind for its cost, while the young one is apparently entailing an ex- pense. But the young animal is growing and gaining in weight, and frequently its increase is more in weight than the equiv- alent gain on the part of the mature stock. During the cold season the young animals will not grow unless they are kept warm and comfortable, and if exposed are liable to become ‘‘stunted,’’ which may result in checking their growth, thus losing size and weight later. It has been demonstrated that young animals will make their great- est gain when kept growing from the start and pushed, and the winter is no draw- back to them when they are taken care of. They repay all the labor bestowed and are really more profitable than the matured stock. —One of the handiest devices we have ever seen for feeding calves was devised by an Iowa farmer several years ago. He fixed it against the fence in the pasture lot, but it can be just as easily placed in a barn or shed. The point was to arrange some method of feeding each calf separate- ly and keeping it separate for a half hour after drinking. A series of narrow stalls were made with the heads against the fence, through which the calf thrust its head and drank from a pail set in a hole cut in a plank. The stalls were narrow enough to prevent the calf from turning around. There were 20 calves and 20 stalls. At the rear end or entrance of the stalls hung a light door to four stalls, made of light slats. When the doors were swung up horizontally, the calves walked under them into the stalls. When the doors dropped down and hung vertically, they closed the entrance to the stalls, and thus held the calves in. Each door was raised or lowered from the front by a rope which passed over a pulley set in a 2 by 4 scant- ling vear the rear end of the centre stall, and thence to the front of the stall. When the feeder started to pour the milk into the pails, the doors were lowered and the stalls emptied, thus preventing interference on the part of the hungry calves. When all was ready, the feeder seized one of the ropes and raised the door to a level or hori- zonal position and let four calves into their stalls. Then the next four were admitted in like manner until all were drinking. Then the doors were let down and the calves remained as long as desired. Estelle Peel, superintendent of public instruction for the State of Wyoming, has so successfully managed the sale of State lands as to increase the State’s income from that source from $100 to $1,000 a week. Tucks are as fashionable as ever. They run horizontally, diagonally and vertical- ly ; are large, medium and small, single and in clusters, but they are the height of vogue in any form. There never has been a season when so many different styles were in fashion, par- ticularly for cloth gowns. It would al- most seem impossible for a woman to be unfashionably dressed, provided the sleeves of her gown are small, and the skirt has no particular fulness except at the back. Vel- vet and cloth are combined in many of the new gowns with very satisfactory results. A favorite combination of color is the light wood color with dark brown, and a very charming gown of wood colored cloth, the cloth with a satin finish, is quite odd in design, and is trimmed with a deep brown velvet. The cloth isin an over-skirt or polonaise, while the under part of the skirt and the upper part of the waist and sleeves are of velvet. There are four rows of nar- row velvet ribbon outlining the cloth. There js apparently no way of getti ng either in or out of this costume, but the gown is fastened at the left side with in- visible hooks and eyes. The sleeves are small, with a cuff of the velvet at the wrist, and are cut so as to give the effect of a very long shoulder seam. A smart cloth gown that is simple in design is made of blue Venetian cloth. The skirt is cut with a circular flounce ef- fect, fitting very closely over the hips. The flounce is not scant, as is generally the case, but, on the contrary, is exaggerated- ly full. It is made in clusters of pleats at equal distances apart, and the pleats are only fastened a short distance, leaving the flounce to flare out about the foot. The waist has three rows of tucks put on to give the effect of pleats below a plain square yoke of the deepest blue velvet that is finished with a stock collar and side tabs. The sleeves are very nearly tight- fitting, but have some fulness at the top, with rows of tucks across the fulness. There is no finish at the wrists and the sleeve is very long. The belt is of fancy metal. Double-faced black satin ribbon one and a half inches in width is used for the little belts worn by ali the girls. The ribbon must be long enough to pass twice around the waist, one length slightly overlapping that below it. The ends are folded over to prevent fraying, and then stitched firm- ly to a little clasp, as inconspicuous as possible. This last precaution is to dis- tinguish it from the rococo imitation jew- eled belting and buckles, which just now flood the market. Sleeves had their hour, blouses had theirs ; now is the moment of the skirt. We lavished attention on our sleeves and bodices for many seasons, what time the long suffering skirt, untrimmed, uncared for, felt the slight but murmured not. Then a revulsion occurred ; and the skirt saw its opportunity. What is more, if seized it, and now it is of the skirt, al- ways and consistently, with absolute favor- itism that the feminine mind modistical is occupied. Certainly it is leading us a life, perhaps because we have slighted it for so long. Decorative devices. Its passion for frills and furbelows it asserted during the sum- mer ; it demanded insertions, ribbon ruch- ings, emi.roideries, gems, lace and all kinds of luxury. Now it sobers somewhat 3 frivolous trimmings it craves for less reck- lessly, but it must adorn itself in other ways, and folds, pipings, simulated doub- le aprons, the figure X described variously, like some problem in Euclid, and all sorts of other devices swim before our bewilder- ed minds as we contemplate the future. Back fastening. But among all its vagaries surely the strangest is for the back to be treated after a totally new manner. Box pleats used to be good enough ; gather- ings came in for a change, and folds in- visible to the eye were dexterously ar- ranged to make yet another diversion. Now, however, there must be something still more remarkable. The hack of the skirt fastens openly and with every inten- tion of being noticed, with buttons and button holes. Probably never before in the history of dressmaking have skirts been so scant as this year. They simply have no fullness at all, save a slight spreading ef- fect in the rear and below the knees. Such a result is obtained by artful sloping and goring, and thus ample freedom in walk- ing is allowed, though a skirt that boasts a circumference of more than three yards is a very, very wide one indeed. : Candor compels the admission that Frenchy and striking as this mode may be, it does not enlarge the reputation of the feminine sex for beauty of form. Just about one woman in three hundred can wear this new skirt and rejoice the eyes of the onlooker ; the other two hundred and ninety-nine will be a sore trial to their friends, for she who is the least bit too broad in the beam and she who has been gifted by Providence with what are known a3 Japanese hips, cannot profit by this novel and severe cut. Continue, if you desire to be in the van of style, to leave your rear widths a trifle long, that is, at a fan-like spread beyond the heels, and do not make the base of the skirt too crisp with hair cloth. A three- inch interlining will do. The only Indian woman lawyer in the country is said to be Miss Laura Lykens, a half-breed Shawnee graduate of the Car- lisle Indian school, who is practicing in Oklahoma. Gond cocoanut candy. To make a good cocoanut candy boil two cupfuls of gran- ulated sugar and one-half cupful of water about six minutes. Try in cold water and as soon as it is firm enongh stir in a cupful of prepared cocoanut and pour into a but- tered pan, checking off into squares with a buttered knife when nearly cold. Hickory or walnut candy. Have the children prepare a cupful of hick- ory or walnut meats, and spread them evenly on two well-buttered platters or tins. Then put into a granite kettle or saucepan one teacupful of white sugar and one and one-half cupfuls of common mo- lasses Let it boil until it makes a moder. ately hard candy when dropped from a Spoon into a cup of cold water. Then put in butter the size of a walnut and three teaspoonfuls of vinegar, which makes it brittle, and let it boil two or three min- utes longer. Then take it from the fire and stir in well one-fourth of a teaspoonful of soda, pour over the nut meats while it foams, and set where it will cool quickly. Before it gets too cool check it off into squares with a buttered knife. son Pungent Sentences from His Speeches Through the State—The Forty Years of Debauchery. Under Re- publican Machine Rule Abundantly Exposed. The Legislature of 1898 Frightfully Bad, but no Worse than its Predecessors Under 1he Same Control. Under Quay we have the worst of 31 ages, the degraded evil age of conscienceless, debauched politics. At Lancaster, March 16. Legislation is born of injustice, in- | fquity and crime; trusts are fostered | and protected and legitimate business interests assailed. At Lancaster, March 16. The legislature of 1897 was not worse than its predecessors have been under the same control. At Lancaster, March 16. ? They (the Republican legislators) aimed to control the liquor interest by repealing the Brooks high license law and substituting a partisan and po- litical excise board to issue licenses. At Lancaster, March 16. The state has lost $2,000,000 through not charging interest upon deposits in the banks during” the sway of Quay. At Lancaster, March 16. Quay has had the treasury for 15 years, which is believed to have yield- ed $100,000 campaign funds annually and enabled treasurers, on $5,000 sal- ary, to retire rich at the end of two years. At Lancaster, March 16. For nearly 40 years this state has : honest and usual ' charged to individuals, and Senator been under the control of the Cam- erons, father and son, and their suc- | cessors, M. S. Quay and W. H. An- drews. At Royersford, April 8. The state treasurer and auditor gen- | eral draw $1,200 a year as members of | the board of public accounts and i buildings and grounds under the ap- | propriation act of 1895, but contrary to law. At Ephrata, March 18. The general appropriation bill should be called Quay’s ammunition bill. The y sum of $68,500 was voted in 1897 for | contingent expenses of the various de- partments. It is impossible to tell how much of this is honestly used. At Bryn Mawr, April 13. Contracts for buildings for the state cost double to allow tribute to the tax leech of the state. * * * Half the legislation at each session marks a raid upon the treasury for the benefit of the insatiate machine. * * * They promised him (Gobin) the lieutenant governorship in return for four dele- gates from Lebanon who would do in the state convention the bidding of Senator Quay. At Lebanon, April 18. There was a time we could boast of a free press. Today it exists in Penn- | sylvania only in name. * * * Some of the great telegraph systems are no L longer safe conductors of private mes- | sages. The superintendent of one great company sits in the councils of the machine. At Bellefonte, April 19. Official figures show that the aver- age increased cost of running the three | departments of the state government | in the past four years (Hastings’ term) was $976,593.20, or about 43 per cent | more than the average cost for the | preceeding six years. At Phillipsburg, April 22. This I know and speak deliberately, without malice or prejudice, that since 1861 the wheels of Pennsylvania's gov- ernment have rolled backward and the Camerons and Quays have been re- sponsible therefor. Whether done by them in person or through Andrews and other well paid servants, they are equally responsible. At West Chester, April 28. Two United States senators and a score or more of congressmen with a state administration in and about the state house at Harrisburg of their choosing, the bosses and the legislature owned by the bosses constitute a giant that utterly defies the whole of Penn- sylvania’s population and makes our fair state the object of ridicule the wide world over among all men except poli- ticians who spell Pennsylvania with three P’s. It is Pennsylvania, Poli- ticians’ Paradise. At York, May 2. Courts of law, with judges, some of whom can only have their places by the grace of the Quay-Andrews cabal, hold court to try burglars and bullies, but not a finger is laid upon those who commit misdemeanor in legislative and administrative office. The starving man who picks a lock is severely pun- ished. The slick aristocrat of politics picks the treasury through appropria- tion bills and contracts and the sol- emn courts of Pennsylvania sleep with their eyes open. At Huntingdon, May 5. A practical politician tells me that " cash. At Huntingdon, May 5. The Lexow committee of W. H. An- drews and Quay to blackmail Philadel- phians probably cost $5,000, or at the utmost $10,000 actual expenditure at rates of expenses Andrews fought desperately to get $65,- 000. At Reading, May 6. Absolutism is the worst form of des- potism, and absolutism exists in its worst form in Pennsylvania today. In other states men rule by genius. In Pennsylvania it is by boldness, de- fiance and brutality that the bosses maintain their power. At Reading, May 6. The actual expense for every day the legislature (1897) was in session was more than $3,000. Thirty days were lost by holding back the committee ap- pointments, 30 more by the inexcusable absence of the speaker of the house (since appointed by McKinley to the fattest office in the state), and 30 more in the movement to protect beer. Un- less these awful extravagances are stopped by the smashing of the ma- chine, and stopped this very year, the taxpayers will soon face a deficit of $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. At Westfield, May 9. They got time vainly to try to mend the broken banks that had the state money. Down went Smedley Darling- ton’s West Chester bank with $60,000 state money; the People’s bank and the Chestnut Street Philadelphia banks, with $215,000, and the Cooper shop of finance in Philadelphia, i marking Philadelphia with three B’s as the Banner Bank Bankrupt state in 1898 in all the United States. And all these banks were connected by de- posits and management with the poli- tics of our state. At ‘Wellsboro, May 11. The Republican party as at present constituted is a most dangerous polit- ical trust in Pennsvlvania. Easton, May 13. I believe it would be better for a great party to go down rather than permit a few thousand officeholders by virtue of patronage control to be- come absolute rulers of six millions of people. At Mount Vernon, May 19. He (Quay) has filled the statute books of Pennsylvania with laws giv- ing to the great corporations your valuable franchises. He has so direct- ed legislation that the privileges of cor- porations are well nigh absolute, while their interests have been so well pro- tected that an unjust proportion of tax- | ation falls upon the people. At Athens, April 6. At the last session he (Quay) killed the anti-trust bill. At Athens, April 6. The needs of overcrowded asylums and unhealthy hospitals count as naught against the request of the man with a political pull and who can de- liver state delegates. At Athens, April 6. ‘Whoever stands by the existing ring writes approved over the conduct of the state legislature. At Pottstown, April 9. The treasury thieves have not been prosecuted because laws have been en- acted and so amended for the past 15 years that those with the backing of the machine dare openly violate the law without fear of harm. * * The catalogue of crimes centering at the capitol, all done by sworn and un- faithful public servants, is the wonder of the time. At Ashbourne. The war has given great opportuni- ties for the play of merciless politicians and soulless speculators. Men have been enriched over night in supplying arsenal stores and filling ammunition contracts. At Clearfield, April 21. Every piece of proposed legislation that steps up to Harrisburg for proper authority is stopped at the threshhold and is put into cold storage until a good portion of the capital is provided for the Quay election bank. At Clear- field, April 21. All the banks that get deposits get them only with a string that is pulled when elections are going on. Phoenix- ville, May 27. Pennsylvania is no better off than the Chinese of California. Instead of six companies we have one company of confederated Quayites.
