FARM NOTES.
—Ten-cent butter is a waste of time, en-
ergy and cream. If you can’t make better
butter, make none at all. Good butter is
worth more, and if it bring no more it is
not worth it.
—Milk is pasteurized when it is heated
from 155 degrees to 167 degrees. This
process kills most of the germs. Boiling
the milk (212 degrees) or heating it nearly
to boiling point kills all the germs: and is
called sterilization.
—The Jersey Bulletin says: ‘‘Vegetable”’
color for butter may be safe—that is, not
rank poison to the human stomach; but
one thing is true, butter color has ‘‘poison-
ed”? the butter business, whether vegetable
or mineral. It has made it possible for
poor butter and oleo to compete with good,
honest butter. Vegetable color to butter
shounld come through the cow.
--Pot plants require a good spraying
with water occasionally in order to wash
the leaves. As a fertilizer for such plants
take a pound of nitrate soda, a pound of
superphosphate and two pounds of sulphate
of potash, mixing the substances intimate-
ly. A teaspoonful of the mixture in a
quart of water answers well as a fertilizer
and also assists in preventing depredations
of insects. #
—1In the early settlement of the country,
when cows had access to newly cleared
land with its burned and charred stumps,
they used often to go to where stumps had
been barned and lick up the charcoal.
Many farmers believe that cows thus al-
lowed free range were less liable to abortion
than those kept in closestables. The ashes
probably satisfied some want in the animal
economy. It may have been the phosphate
they contain which is required by the bones
of the growing fetus. If cows eat too much,
the potash in the ashes corrects the acidity
of their stomachs, which often results where
stock is highly fed in stables where it has
little exercise.
—There are many of our native forest
trees that could easily be removed when
young from the woods and placed in coigns
of vantage around one’sgrounds. Notably
among these are the maple, poplar, ash,
linden, cucumber and pin-oak. I set out
this spring 30 of these different trees, most
of which grew nicely, says a correspondent
of the Country Gentleman, though I find
that the cncumber—one of the most beau-
tiful and shapely of trees—does not bear
transplanting well; but two out of a dozen
are living. The pin-oak, with its large,
glossy leaves and its rich bronze and russet
tints in autumn, makes a very desirable
tree to plant, and withal is a rapid grower
in good soil. The prickly elder, planted
in clumps, with its somewhat tropical ap-
pearance, makes an effective group.
It throws out spiny branches like a cac-
tus, and with its large clusters of red ber-
ries in the fall presents a striking and un-
ique appearance. Maples, of course, one
utilizes for driveways. They are symmet-
rical in shape and very fast growers. Nor-
way spruces and blue spruces, though not
indigenous to this soil, can be bought
cheaply to make effective clumps or for
windbreaks. One year ago I paid $1 for
100 spruce seedlings, three or four inches
tall. They have since grown over a foot,
and in another year will be ready to set
out permanently.
—Keep the cows that test rich in butter
fat, that give an even flow for a Tong time,
instead of a large flow for a short time;
those which milk up close to calving time
and which have good, well quartered ud-
ders, with fair sized teats set well apart
both from front to back and side to side.
Keep them when they have roomy abdo-
mens, as the more feed a cow can consume
with profit the better she is.
When you start to build up a herd of
Guernsey grades, stick to them, as your
second and third crossings will show the
wisdom of your choice much better than
the first cross. Don’t buy a Guernsey and
then a Holstein and then a Jersey and then
something else, because you will not have
anything when you get through. This dis-
position to shift around, together with an-
other prevalent disposition, accounts for
the mongrel character and appearance of
the cattle in a great many sections of the
country.
. We will say, now that you have bought
your bull and have your first crop of
heifer calves, give them good care. I do
not mean to fatten them as for veal, but
feed them enough bran, oats and barley to
keep them growing thoroughout the first
year. When they are about 15 months
old, look them over, and all that have not
good constitutions should be disposed of;
the others should be served by their own
sire. This is inbreeding, but it will intensi-
fy your blood and your inbred three-quart-
er bloods will be as strong in the breed
characteristics as ordinary seven-eighths
bloods. They will also be richer in butter
fats than if not inbred.
—An Ohio correspondent of the National
Stockman writes: Good celery can be grown
on any kind of loamy soil. Gravely and
sandy soils are not desirable for celery, be-
cause they do not retain sufficient moisture.
A muck swamp that has been well drained
is a good place for celery. The ground for
celery should be made very rich by the ap-
plication of large quantities of stable man-
ure. Stable manure is the best fertilizer
for celery because it supplies the soil with
humus and enables it to retain the moisture
that is 80" necessary to success in celery
growing. I would select a field for celery.
that has been planted to a cultivated crop
the previous year. and should want it free
from stones and all obstructions that would
hinder in setting the plants, or in cultivat-
ing them; also, that the mechanical condi-
tion of the soil be such that it can be made
mellow or friable. and can be finely pul-
verized. I would cover the ground several
inches deep with a good quantity of stable
manure; any kind of manure is good if it
has not been fire-fanged or piled where it
has leached. I would cover the ground
two or three inches deep, plow it in and
harrow the ground very fine.
Success depends to a large extent, upon
having good plants for transpianting. If
you grow your own plants you will need a
hot-bed or cold frame for the early celery.
For the early celery buy the White Plume
and Golden Self Blanching varieties, esti-
mating one ounce of seed for 3,000 plants.
You can get good seed of any of the reliable
seedsmen. The seed may be sown thickly
in the hot-bed, and the seedings picked
out in a cold frame, or the seed can be
sown in drills three inches apart, and the
plants transplanted directly to the field.
In my locality I do not sow the seed until
the last of March, for if sown before this
the plants are liable tu bolt and run to
seed stalks. The plants for the early crop
are transplanted to the field in May or
early in June.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
For jackets and coats for spring wear the
short, natty effects seem to be as popular
as ever, and the Eton jacket has taken a
new lease of life and is to be worn as much
or more than ever.
Sleeves are very much tucked and trim-
med in thin material, but for cloth and
other heavy weight fabrics the plain, tight-
fitting leg o’ mutton sleeve is used.
Why doesn’t somebody tell her she has a
yellow neck? She runs to white satin
stocks. Most women with jaundice necks
do. Where are their mirrors, where are
their friends?
Is there anything in reach of our fingers
so cruel as a half-way swathe of white un-
der ears and chin if a discelored chin out-
lines the swathe?
The edge of a white satin ribbon has a
hard, vicious look. Itisaggressive. Seems
to hit one right between the eyes as it were.
A throat without a scraggy outline, with a
surface as white as a brand new puff ball,
may dare to favor bands of dazzling
white and they only.
Women out of health should be cautious
in using strong irritants for bringing out
hair—the cantharides and croton oil prepa-
rations, which too often ‘‘bring out’’ any
little hair that is left.
Use mostly vegetable preparations for
the hair. Animal fat, beef marrow, bear’s
oil, even when pure, turn rancid and then
do more harm than good. There are few
depilatories surer than rancid oil.
Let one never despair of owning a good
suit of hair or of curing baldness, no matter
how lasting. Hair bulbs may shrink and
disappear from sight, leaving a bare head
for years, and yet, with improved health
and patient treatment by electricity and
aromatic lotions, the scalp revives and
growth follows. This may take place in a
very short time.
The treatment for bringing out the hair
is just as good to prevent grayness, which
results from contractions of the vessels, so
that the pigment cannot enter the colorless
tube of the hair.
This may result from severe cold, which
contracts the minute blood vessels, or from
grief and anxiety, or from deposit of lime
in the vessels, which cause the grayness of
age.
Elderly persons will find lime juice and
glycerine of great benefit for decomposing
this chalky deposit. The following is an
excellent recipe for its preservation: —
Take a half pint of lime juice or lemon
juice, one-quarter of a pint of rose water,
six tablespoonfuls rectified spirit, added
gently and stirred or shaken; after
twenty-four hours strain through muslin,
and add two and one-half ounces of glyc-
erine and a half dram of lemon or cedrat,
and shake well. It will be fragrant and
inviting. It should be milky without sed-
iment.
To prevent the grayness of blond hair,
dress it nightly with the yolk of an egg,
beaten with a little glycerine, and wear a
cap, washing the hair in the morning. The
sulphur in the egg restores the color in the
hair.
A homely but effective application to keep
dark hair in good color is a decoction of
walnut hulls. The comb should be wet in
this and drawn through the hair. Care
should be taken not to get the hair too wet,
or at least, to dry it.
Castor oil or cerine, with scent of hedge
roses or lavender are the best hair dressings
but on using any dressing the hair
should be brushed smooth and well wiped
with soft flannel to remove all excess from
the surface.
The oil or pomode should be applied an
hour or two before doing up the hair, to
give a natural, glossy appearance.
No question is more frequently asked
than how to bring a good growth of hair on
a bald place left by a burn, where a few
hairs appear. If people would use elec-
tricity to stimulate the hair, rather than
to remove it, the result would be more sat-
isfactory. !
Nothing is more likely to revive the dor-
mant bulbs of the hair than a weak current
applied twenty-five minutes daily, after
washing and drying the bald spot.
A woman in the twenties complains that
all her hair is turning a dark ugly shade
and falling out. She should stop this loss
at first by washing the scalp with warm
water and yolk of egg, well rinsed off, each
night and morning then apply a spoonful
of this mixture. :
Pure glycerine, three drams; lime water,
four ounces; rubbing it into the roots of the
hair with a shampoo brash. :
In two weeks add one-half ounce tincture
cantharides to the same mixture, brushing
it in thoroughly. In afew weeks she will
bars an abundant beautiful growth of
air.
The tailor suits for spring are now in
great force. They are of cloth, barbazon,
whipecord, cheviot, serge, tweed, covert and
cravanette. The prevailing style is a shor
jackets with fiy fronts, trimmed with
stitching, straps or braid. All have plain
turndown revere collars, like men’s coats.
Next to these short jackets come the
tight basques. These are double breasted
and have buttons. The others show none.
All the skirts fit closely at the hips and
flare widely at the bottom. Most of these
skirts are entirely plain. Some have an
apparent upper skirt whose fronts are
rounded off over stuff of another shade or
color. - When braid is used, it generally is
designed to represent a tunic, and the same
style is carried on the basque or coat.
I am told by a fashionabl dressmaker that
the tight skirts without gathers in the back
have rung the death knell of ordinary
length coats, as worn together they take
away every particle of style from a woman.
The smart coat of the spring and summer,
to be worn with shirt waists, is very short,
ending at the waist line and. having three
little gussets set in to give them the proper
flare. They close almost to the throat, and
have very small reveres, only showing a bit
of the waist or cravat. High on the left
side is a wee pocket, not for any earthly
use, because it would not hold car fare, but
just to remind us that there are such things
as pockets in women’s garments.
It is needless to say that these coats are
only for thin women—pardon me, slender
women, I believe, is the term, for we don’t
admit that we are thin. . Women with gen-
erous curves must find compensation in the
new long-tailed coat, reminding one of a
beetle. This cuts away over the hips and
has narrow skirts which fall smoothly over
the tight skirt. . This, by the way, is not
to be »n economical season for us, because
the fashions have passed through a com-
plete change. Tight skirts mean snug
sleeves and they in turn call for a particu-
lar style of hat and a new coat. Even
shirt waists have assumed an unfamiliar ap-
pearance, and we think of our last season’s
wardrobe with despair.
——You ought to take the WATCHMAN
Indians Have Mirrors.
An Oregon Pioneer Destroys a Point Made by a
Preacher.
“I went to church the other night,’’ said
the old-timer, ‘‘and I heard the parson
pray and preach, if I didn’t hear a daugh-
ter’s voice singing in the village choir, as
‘the poet Longfellow has it.
“The preacher said many things, some
sharp and some not so sharp, but what
struck was where he said the savage need-
ed a mirror—that the savage had no mirror,
and if he had a mirror he would be more
cleanly.
‘“That set me to thinking of what I had
seen of our American savage—our Indians.
I have been among the Umatillas, Nez
Perces, Snakes and Blackfeet, and, while
they did not have full-length mirrors in
their wickups, fully two-thirds of the war-
riors had hand mirrors tied on to the horns
of their saddles by buckskin strings, and
they used them continuously.
“So I judge that my friend the parson
has only a superficial knowledge of our
northwestern savages.
“Twenty years ago I was sitting around
a campfire with Lieutenant Farrow’s In-
dian scouts, in the wild Salmon river
mountains, where bears abound and it
snows in August, and one of our Indians,
a Nez Perces named Charpelow, told a
thrilling tale handed down by his father.
The latter had gone across the Rocky
mountains with a war party of ten men to
steal horses from the Crow Indians. They
traveled by night and hid themselves by
day. One day they were in fancied secur-
ity in some thick timber, and most of them
were sleeping. Charpelow’s father walked
down to the creek and took a bath, used
the sun for a crash towel and was very
busy primping and braiding his hair and
gazing at himself in his hand mirror, when
crash! bang! came the reports of ritles and
yelling and whooping and great turmoil.
‘“‘He escaped afoot, and at night sneaked
back to the camp and found that every one
of his companions had been killed. The
Crows had taken their horses and most of
their camp equipage, but had left the sad-
dles. But they had taken from the horn
of every saddle the highly prized hand
mirror. The sole survivor took along his
saddle, and had to sneak around among
the enemy for a week hefore he had a
chance to steal a horse. Having lost his
gun at the camp, he did not feast on buf-
falo or bear meat on the back track, but
the timber was full of fool-hens, which he
knocked down with stones, and the sorrow
his homecoming brought to the Nez Perces
nation nearly knocked down the relatives
of the men who had sacrificed their lives
in an honest endeavor to increase the horse
herds of the tribe.
“But as to the savage having mirrors,
why, my boy, I suppose the Yankee facto-
ries of Connecticut worked many a night’s
overtime years ago turning out mirrors
that went through the hands of Indian
traders and into the hands of our Indian
savages. They have mirrors.’ —From the
Portland Oregonian.

One-fourth box gelatine, one-fourth cup
cold water, one pint cream, one dozen lady
fingers, one-third cup powdered sugar, one
teaspoonful vanilla, one tablespoonful wine
one-fourth cup boiling water. Soak the
gelatine in the cold water till softened.
Chill the cream. Line a three pint mold
with lady-fingers or narrow slices of sponge
cake, crust side out; leave a little space
between the slices, and have the cake even
at the top. Whip the cream, gnd skim off
into a granite pan set in ice water. Sift
the powdered sugar over the whipped
cream, and add the vanillaand wine. Dis-
solve the gelatine in the boiling water, and
strain through a fine strainer over the
whipped cream. Then stir (not beat) rap-
idly, with the bowl of the spoon resting on
the bottom of the pan. Stir till the gela-
tine is well mixed with the cream, and
when nearly stiff enough to drop, turn it
into the mold. Keep on ice and when
ready to serve, turn out and garnish the
Apple Fritters.
Pare the apples and punch out the cores
with a sharp, round, tin apple-corer. Cut
each apple into three slices crosswise, so
that each piece will be a circle with a hole
in the centre. Dip these pieces of apple
into a batter made as follows: Two eggs,
one half-pint of milk, one tablespoon of
butter (melted), and about one pint of
flour. Salt, and fry in boiling fat.
Sprinkle with sugar and serve on a hot
dish. This batter is nice for all kinds of
fritters.

“Don’t Tell Them Where You Found
Me.”
The above is the name of anew song issued on
the following incident: The Rev. Thos. Delaney,
when chaplain of a large state penitentiary, while
passing through the hospital ward was called to
the bedside of a dying conviet. The last words of
the unfortunate youth were: “Father, I see you
do not know me, but you know me well and my
family, I will die to-night.” I prepared his soul's
exit into eternity and whilst his hands were
clasped in mine his last request was made: “In
my dying moment promise me what I will ask.”
I here gave him my word; he then revealed his
parentage who thought him dead. ‘Now give me
your word that you will send my body home, but
don’t tell them where you found me.’” I sent the
body home to another State, but they never knew
where I found him. The Groene Music publish-

RTE I——— ca
President Frank Thomson’s Report on
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
[Philadelphia Daily Stockholder, March 8th.)
Comment heard yesterday upon president
Frank Thomson's second .annual report
was pronouncedly eulogistic. The docu-
ment is an admirably clear presentment of
the company’s operations and results, and
the character of the latter are regarded as
generally more favorable than the condi-
tions existent during the greater part of
the year furnished reason to anticipate.
A clearer understanding of what was ac-
complished by the management in 1898 is
obtainable by going back a year or two,
keeping in mind the enormous gains in net
results made in 1897, as compared with
previous years.
On the three grand divisions east of
Pittsburg the number of tons of freight
moved in 1898 was 84,801,805, an increase
of 5,239,340 tons, or 6.59 per cent., over
1897, in which latter year there was an in-
crease, compared with 1896, of 6,595,340
tons, or 9.04 per cent. In the number of
passengers carried on the same divisions,
there was an increase of 965,042, or 2.76
per cent., compared with 1897. Passenger
traffic apparently has not recovered from
losses caused by the extension of local trol-
ley lines, the number of persons in 1898
being less by 207,654 than in 1896.
Gross earnings of all lines east and west
of Pittsburg for the year reached the enor-
mous aggregate of $132,869,470, an in-
crease over 1897 of $4,591,383, and an in-
crease over 1896 of $9,228,201. Net earn-
ings aggregated $39,960,140, a decrease
compared with 1897 of $676,914, but an
increase over 1896 of $4,648,202. Last
year there was expended upon the mainte-
nance of the road and equipment and the
operations of the property the sum of
$92,909,329, against $87,641,031 the year
before. It is to be noted in this connec-
tion that the proportionately large increase
in net earnings, relatively to the gain in
gross in 1897, was stated at the time to be
in a measure due to the suspension of ex-
traordinary improvements, a suspension
deemed advisable in view of disturbances
then existing in the rate situation. These
improvements were resumed in 1898, with
the result that operating expenses absorbed
something like 1} per cent. more of the
gross receipts than was charged to that ac-
count in 1897. The percentage is small,
but applied to the enormous sum of the
gross earnings, it works a very material ef-
fect in the result.
