Deworvalic, Wate Bellefonte, Pa., Dec. 2, 1898. FARM NOTES. —The Canada thistle is one of the most persistent weeds in existence. Though commonly known as ‘‘Canada’’ thistle, it is really a native of Europe, being early in- troduced into Canada, spreading to every portion of the United States. Experiments made at the Idaho Experiment Station show that it is not as difficult to get rid of them as has been supposed, although laws passed for its destruction by several States have been of no avail. It spreads slowly compared with some weeds, due principally to lack of fertility in the seeds, most of the seeds being light, only the heavier ones germinating, and they are not carried far. But its progress by means of long, white root stalks is rapid, a large field being cov- ered in that manner in a few years, and it then assumes a strong hold on the soil. It is a perennial, with slender stems, the leaves being prickly. the heads aggregated on the top of the stem, while the flowers are rose-purple. It may be carried from one point to another in hay, on the tops of freight cars or by various modes. Its best friend is the indolent farmer, who allows it to grow while his neighbors are en- deavoring to get rid of it. Liberal applications of salt or kerosene, applied after the clump of thistles are cut down, will destroy them, but such meth- od is slow and costly where a fieid is in their possession. A piece of root stalk an inch Jong if left in the soil will make a foundation for a new crop. A piece two inches long will grow eight or ten feet in six months, and weigh three or four pounds, and from cach small piece from 40 to 50 heads will grow. An old rule is to ‘‘plow the land in June, drag twice in July, plow two or three inches deep two or three times in August, and harrow each time.”” Any tool that will cat off the tops the first, second and fourth weeks of Aug- gust will use them up, as they cannot live if the tops are kept down. Experiment Station succeeded in completely extermina- ting them, which was done as follows: 1. Cut the thistles when in full bloom (July) as close to the ground as possible, and then plow three inches deep, sowing millet or Hungarian grass, seeding heavily and then harrow. 2. In September plow the millet under, and then seed heavily with rye. Plow the rye under in May, and again seed to millet or Hungarian grass (or plant a hoe crop, such as cabbage or potatoes). 3. Continue theclose culti- vation. being careful to keep cut down from July until frost. PREVENTING THISTLES. Not only should every thistle that ap- pears be cut down as fast as it shows above ground, but the roadsides must be watched and kept clean as well as the fence corners. Most farmers object to losing the use of their land for a year while destroying this- tles, and they consequently grow crops on the land until the thistles get ahead. By judicious selection of crops the use of the land need not be lost. By sowing rye in the fall, cultivating peas, onions, early cabbage or early potatoes, and then follow- ing the peas with late cabbage or late pota- toes, or the growing of turnips as a late crop, using the hoe or wheel hoe, so as not to allow a sprig of grass or a weed of any kind to appear, the land will be kept clean good crops obtained, and the thistles de- stroyed in twoseasons. The late Dr. Alfred L. Kennedy, one of the best-known farmers in Pennsylvania destroved the thistles on a piece of land that had been abandoned by a previous owner. by growing late po- tatoes on the land for two seasons, the work required during the second year he- ing only one-fourth the cost of the first year, and he also made a profit on the po- tato crop. Millet and Hungarian grass are crops that grow so rapidly as to crowd out weeds, and make excellent summer crops, serving well as a crop when thistles are cut down in July, at which time the millet seed may be sown. Crops that demand clean cultivation should always be grown on thistle land, as the most inexpensive mode of getting rid of such weeds. —The editor of Green’s Fruit Grower says he has found a great deal of fertility in street sweepings. When he spread them an inch deep on the surface of 2 part of his lawn, whieh had been filled with subsoil of poor quality taken from another place, and but imperfectly mixed them with the soil, the grass seed came up, but immediately perished, burned up by the strength of the street sweepings. He then cultivated it, mixing it thoroughly with the soil, sowed seed again and had good success, the lawn being of marked beauty ever since. —Keeping apples by hurrying them in the ground proves successful when other methods fail, provided every apple is sound and free from blemish when harvested. The reason is that the temperature in the ground or mound in which the apples are kept varies but little, and they are always cool. The same result will he obtained if a cold and even temperature can be secured in a cellar. —The government formula for hog chol- era, as given in bulletin No. 157, of the Michigan Experiment Station, is one pound each of sulphate, wood charcoal, sulphate of soda, and sulphide of antimony and two pounds each of salt, bicarbonate of soda and hyposulphate of soda. The dose is a teaspoonful to each 200-pound hog, given in a little water, shaken thor- oughly with a small bottle. —A Virginia grower of Lima beans, who always gets good prices for beans which are of the best quality, and who succeeds when others fail, grows them on frames, keeping them off the ground, with the vines and beans always exposed to the sun. They are put up for market in muslin bags, each bag holding half a peck, and the bags packed in slatted crates. They reach the customers in fine condition. —Whenever clover is grown lime gives excellent results on the land, not only on account of its chemical action on the soil, but also because it enters very largely into the composition of plants and is frequently deficient in some soils. Sulphate of lime (and plaster) on heavy soils, is a special fertilizer for clover, if applied in the spring of the second year. — Destroying weevil in peas or grains can be accomplished by putting the peas in a box or barrel having a tight-fitting cover, placing bisulphide of carbon in a saucer on top of the peas, leaving the covers on for 24 hours. Then turn the peas out, air them and return to the barrel. —Some persons do not know what to do with their accumulated coal ashes. Sift them and use the fine portions as material for providing dust-baths for poultry in winter. The coarse portions may be used with advantage on the pathways and roads, as they soon pack down hard and firm. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Miss Jennie Reveret, who has a stock farm on Long Island, has invaded a new field for women by graduating from the Veterinary school in Alport, France. Our tailor-made girl at this winter’s fashion’s dress parade takes strongly to graduated ruffies of plain cloth on her skirt and semi-tight fitting jackets. This particular style of flouuce is only a month from Paris, one hears, yet it is already noticed in great numbers. Moles and warts, when not situated near the eyes or on the throat, can be cured by the application of lunar caustic once or twice a day, due care being exercised that the caustic does not come in contact with the healthy flesh. A shiny appear- ance of the skin can be diminished by the use of a few drops of toilet vinegar in the rinsing water. Blackheads can be abolished by the frequent use of soap and water. Freckles, if not of long-standing, can be eradicated by the use of lemon juice ap- plied night and merning with a camel’s hair brush. Things military in effect will be con- spicuous in Christmas gifts. The girl whose soldier brother is again at home is making for his room a scrap basket fash- ioned from a drum, just such as abound in the shops at holiday time. One end of this she has cut out, and has lined the whole with bright blue satin, putting an inner lining of moderately stiff crinoline. At the top, so it will just peep over the edge, she has put a gailling of red, white and blue ribbon. For the soldier brother’s desk there is a blotting pad with back smoothly covered with red, whiteand blue. A paper weight is in the form of a little cannon, and the stamp box is the cannon carriage. A photograph screen is a pretty thing for a girl’s room. To make this a tall nar- row Japanese screen is selected. On one side of this inch-wide ribbon is sewn just securely enough to afford a support for the picture. The ribbon is put the width apart of a cabinet photograph. Several of these frames, supports or pockets, whichever one may call them, may be put across the screen. Big bows are put at the ends of tke strips of ribbon. One such screen now being ar- ranged will hold 40 photographs. The photograph screen answers the double pur- pose of protection against drafts and keep- ing in an artistic way the likeness of one’s friends. Another nice Christmas gift screen that will be most useful in the library is made from one of the little, low double Japanese bamboo screens, such as are commonly used before fires. This may be covered with any chosen fabric, either dainty or practical, though one of the pretty figured burlaps is most satisfactory from all points. Put on the inner side of this screen big pockets, one at the top and one at the bot- tom. These are designed for the holding of the books and papers that one is read- ing. A first call is made on the newcomer by the older resident without waiting for the formality of an introduction. It is re- turned within ten days. If the acquaint- ance proves undesirable, it may cease after the first interchange of visits. The fash- ionable hour for ladies is from 11 to 12 and from 3 to 5. For men, from 8 to 10 when the day is occupied. A formal or first call lasts fifteen minutes, a friendly call twice as long. A man must ask permission be- fore he may call, or bear a letter of intro- duction from another city. An invitation to any co.ertainment, whether accepted or not, necessitates a call from the recipient within a month. Calls should he made on the hostess’ day, if she has one. The guests of a dinner call upon their hostess within a week. A bridedoes not call upon her friends until they have called upon her after the wedding receptions. Persons in mourning receive but do not return calls during the first year after their bereave- ment. Calls of congratulation are made on the young mother, the fiancee, or a friend to whom unexpected joy or success have come. While skirts and sleeves fit the figure closely, and the new polonaises emphasize the long, slender lines of the figure, capes are more fussy and fanciful and sweep up- wards in a rounded curve, making the back appear long and the front short. Both day and evening capes are cut in this fashion, the former over laid with applique and openwork embroidery or braid, the edge usually finished with a frill of velvet or fur. Poppy-red neck ruffles in two tones, made of mousseline de soie, are a most be- coming addition to the neck. Red cur- rants match the shade exactly, and appear in the millinery, which for the moment is most up to date. Bandana handkerchiefs are likely to bea great fashion for vests undercoats and hodices. Muslins collars, hemmed and veined, are cut up into divisions, which turn over the collar bands. There is, in fact very special attention being directed, to everything in the nature of the skirt and blouse. For country wear there is no kind of dress that is so smart and useful. Fascinating ones made in flowered muslin have turndown collars edged with narrow pleatings of the material, carried also down the centre pleat and the turn-back cuffs; a diamond buckle fastened the helt at the waist. A jeweled chain, with an antique pendant makes the pendant altogether be- yond the common bend. Long lace lappits, fastening at the back, go twice around the neck, and are tied in a bow in front. They are made to stand up high at the neck by means of narrow steels covered with white silk. The higher the collar the better. The rude thoughtless manner in which physicians and parents sacrifice the teeth of children is to be deprecated. Parents should be warned strongly against the practice of having the teeth of children re- moved, either the first or second set, unless under the advice of a competent dentist. When the first teeth are extracted early, and for a considerable period before the second teeth take their places, the jaw gradually contracts, and thus diminishes the space alotted to the second teeth. The construction which thus takes place cannot be again recovered, and a certain fullness and rotundity they are displaced by the second teeth though very frail and des- tined for a temporary service, may be pre- served until they are displaced by the second teeth hy having the decayed points cleaned and filled properly. Of the neces- sity of preservation of the first teeth there can be no doubt. ——The diseases cured by Hood’s Sars- aparilla are many, hecanse most ailments disappear as soon as the blood is enriched and purified by it. Raising Beets for Sugar. Interesting Experiment of Cumberland Valley Farmers,—8ix Hundred in the Scheme. Six hundred farmers in Cumberland and neighboring counties have raised sugar beets during the past season, as an agricul- tural experiment, hoping to prove that the beets may be grown with profit in Penn- sylvania. If their expectations are realized a factory for the manufacture of beet sugar is likely to be established at Carlisle. Several wagon loads of samples are now coming almost every day for examination by the experts at Dickinson College. An equal part of each sample goes to State Col- lepe for analysis there. Up to the present time, the analysis has shown only a’ fair yield of sugar—enough, however, to en- courage the promoters of the enterprise. Each farmer puts out about a half acre with beets. He is required to furnish only a half-bushel for samples. The remainder of his crop he feeds to his cattle, and many suggestive accounts of the increased yield of milk from cows fed with sugar beets are told. The beets are also pickled for house- hold use. SEEMS TO BE A SUCCESS. The yield per acre has been encouraging, although the heavy and long-continued rains of last spring, followed by the drought, was not in favor of the crop. The extensive experiment made in the counties of the Camberland valley has proved, how- ever, that the beets raised in that soil will yield enough sugar to pay, and that the farmers are willing to co-operate to an ex- tent sufficient to furnish the supply of beets necessary for the running of a large fac- tory. The price paid the farmer would be $4 per ton, which might be increased by a State bounty of $1 per ton, as in New York State. The railroads have agreed to haul the crop for 25 cents per ton from points within a radius of thirty miles from the factory. HUNDREDS OF TONS A DAY. The factory proposed would have a ca- pacity of 600 tons of beets per day. Its location has not yet been definitely decided The factory would require 10 per cent. of its beet capacity in coal, that is, 60 tons of coal per day. This would not effect its location. It, however, would also require five per cent. of its capacity in lime, that is, 30 tons of lime per day, and the question of lime supply would doubtless effect the location very material- ly. Carlisle probably could supply the lime without extensive importation. The estimated cost of the plant is $300,- 000. Another $300,000 would be required as working capital. This capital has been and is ready. The questions as to the feasibility of the project have been settled. Whether or not the plans of the promoters will be put into execution depends now upon the issues of the war in the way of new relations which may exist with sugar- producing territories. Frank C. Bosler, of Carlisle, a millionaire and practical farmer is at the head of the project. - A Million in Charity.
