Demorraiic atc Bellefonte, Pa., March 24, 1899. FARM NOTES. —DMottled butter is sometimes caused by the salt not being well worked into the butter. What are known as white specks may be due to setting milk in shallow pans, the cream drying on the top and be- coming hard. Another cause may be the cream standing too long, curd being formed in the milk, which becomes mixed with the butter. —All pullets for next year should be hatched before May if possible, or they will not mature in time to serve as winter lay- ers, unless the small breeds are used. Should it be necessary to hatch as late as May use leghorn males with the hens, as the cross-bred leghorn pullets will mature earlier than pullets from the larger breeds. —The new treatment for milk fever, as practiced in Great Britain, and which has been favorably received in Canada, is to in- ject into the udder (through the teats) one drachm of iodide of potassium mixed with one quart of boiling water, cooled down to 98 degrees Fahrenheit before being used. Several quarts should he made ready, and have a pint injected through each teat into each quarter of the udder. The cow should then be placed in a comfortable po- sition on her chest and the udder gently rubbed. Only one injection is necessary. Her position should be changed every two or three hours. Before injecting the solu- tion the udder and teats should be careful- ly washed with soap and water, to which a few drops of carbolic acid has been added. Dr. Wm. Mole, veterinary surgeon of Can- ada, explains the new treatment by stating that milk fever is caused by reintroduction of the milk into the circulation at the time of parturition, due in many cases to want of water, causing toxic blood poisoning, coma and death from exhaustion, so that by injecting a material that could be ab- sorbed along the same lines the brain pres- sure would be relieved and the animal re- cover rapidly. —Potato growers who want to have pota- toes with bright clean skins, free from scab should not neglect to use the necessary precaution to have them so. First, plant on new soil, or that not already infested with the scab fungus, for it is proved that the fungus lives in the soil for a year or two. Planting should be done where some other. crop than the potato has been grown for two years previous. Second, having washed the seed potatoes, immerse them in a solution of corrosive sublimate in order to kill any scap fungus on the tubers. Use two and a quarter ounces of corrosive subli- mate in fifteen gallons of water. Dissolve the corrosive sublimate in two gallons of hot water, and then add thirteen gallors more of water. Tse a large tub or a bar- rel; metallic vessels will he corroded by the liquid. Place: the potatoes to be treated in a large, coarse sack and sink it into the liquid, allowing it to remain an hour and a half; at the end of that time lift them out and turn them out on a floor to dry, when they can be cut up and plant- ed. The sack of potatoes can be conven- iently handled, in lifting it in and out of the barrel, by means of a lever on a post near the barrel, sufficiently high to work easily, something like an old fashioned well sweep, and which everyone can easily and quickly rig up. This will be neces- sary only when a considerable quantity of potatoes are to be treated. As the corrosive mixture is poisonous, care should be taken not to touch it to the hands, especially if the skin is broken; also to keep the treated tubers away from poultry or cattle. —Most iarmers and small gardeners de- pend almost entirely in heating hotbeds upon the heat developed by a pile of fer- menting manure heneath the beds. Upon the proper preparation of this the success of the whole enterprise will largely depend and lack of attention to details will insure failure at the outset. For this reason in- structions originally given in a proper way by the Kansas station may well be repeated here: Good horse stable manure, with not too much straw or litter, is the best material. It should not be fire fanged or burned out, or it develops only a very mild heat. About the middle of March, or earlier, according to locality, a pile of manure suf- ficient in quantity to make a bed 18 inches deep under the sash to be used should be hauled to the place needed, forked over evenly, any dry portions being wetted well and built up into compact mound. After a week or ten days the steaming of this pile will indicate that fermentation is well under way, when it should be thor- oughly forked over into another pile, - pitching the outer portions of the first to- ward the centre of the second, again wet- ting all portions that are dry and making all of as even a constituency as possible. By another week it will again be in a strong fermentation and ready to build into the final bed. : Some prefer to dig a pit of the area of the frames to be used, into which the man- ure is packed. Thisis more protected from the cold, and if the beds can be left in the same place year after year it is a good plan. Others prefer to build the bed on the sur- face of the ground, in which case it should -¢ 4 a foot beyond the area of the frame on oj sides. On the careand skill with which .. final building up of the manure bed is "tmuch of the success of the undertak- T.epends. The material should be care- ‘shaken over, made of even texture ,, shout, well moistened and thorough- 1 evenly tramped down. Evenness “ling and evenness of heat both de- ¢ pon the care with which these in- 3 ong are followed. ,, frames are next put on, about ches of fine, rich garden loam filled | the sash put in place. The frames d be well banked around with strawy ire to keep out the cold. A thermome- 1 the soil should be watched, and the ‘in a few days will often be noticed to e run up to 100 degrees. Not until it ps to 80 degrees should seeds be sown, he young plants will surely be burned ~f the scope of work that may be done vith these hotbeds only a few things need be mentioned here. Radish and lettuce for early use will be among the first things sown, seeds of early cabbage and cauliflow- er and later of tomatoes and eggplant. Early frame or early white spine cucum- bers may be started in small flats or berry boxes, to be transplanted into cooler frames later. One who is provided with a num- ber of sash need not start all of them as hotbeds. As soon as the cabbage and cauli- flower are large enough they should he transplanted into cold frames filled with soil without heat below, and managed as cool as possible, so as to get hard, firm plants to set in the open ground. These are only a few hints as to what may be done with a lot of sash. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Miss Caroline Hazard, the new president of Wellesley College, is herself not a col- lege graduate. She is 42 years old. Potatoes, say physicians, must not be given to little children. They contain too much starch and too little nutriment, and while they may give the child flesh they will not give it strength. Linen costumes will he worn very much. Some of the heavier qualities of linen are made up in the coat and skirt style like the piques, but there are also the thinner linens like grass cloth, made up very elab- orately. These last are made with over- skirt effect, and have silk or lawn petti- coats; and also in the drop-skirt style, and trimmed with bands of heavy insertion. A smart grass linen gown, with a pink and white satin stripe, bas the skirt cut in cir- cular shape, and trimmed with three broad bands of heavy guipure lace. The skirtis cut so that it flares very much below the last band of insertion. The waist, which fits tightly in the back, is rather loose in front, and has a square-yoke effect, encircled by a ruffle of the guipure lace. The lace also edges the fronts of the waist, and falls in a jabot on either side of a very narrow tucked front of pink Liberty silk. There is a rib- bon belt of pink silk, and tied in at the wrists are little bows of pink silk showing through the lace ruffles. A very fine grass linen with no color is made up over a light green lining. This is trimmed down the front breadth with rows of lace insertion. The back is plain, rather on the circular skirt effect, with no fulness in the back at all, except where it flares out at the bot- tom, but the long petticoat is made with a very full ruffle flounce, and is so wide that it looks full and yet clinging. The waist is almost tight-fitting at the back and sides, and in front is trimmed with a lace barbe that goes around at the back, comes down the front of the waist, and then is slipped through two bands of the linen, the ends falling down over the waist on tothe skirt. This waist has a vest of green Liberty silk very finely pleated. A dark blue linen, almost like a lawn—it is so light in weight—is a very attractive gown for traveling or for hard wear. It is trimmed with bands of red and white Russian embroidery; the waist is cut in an Eton jacket with long pointed fronts, the fronts one mass of the Russian embroidery, and there is a vest of red crepe cloth. This is a very curious combination, and is made still more curious by a little row of gilt but- tons down the front of the jacket. Judg- ing from what we see exhibited, it is to be a great year for the wearing of wash ma- terials. Last summer’s intense heat seems to be taken as a warning of what we are to expect again, and everybody is busy pre- paring for the worst. The piques are to be as fashionable as ever, and are even lighter in weight than they were. Pique is a ma- terial that has stood the test of public criti- cism, and is firmly established as a good material for hard wear. It is to be used in the jacket and skirt costumes that are sold ready made. Some of the skirts are circu- lar, others have the attached flounce of last year, and still others are gored. The jack- ets are all short.- on the blazer style, and are to be worn open to show the shirt waist or false front. The jacket finished all around in scallops, with scalloped revers, is very smart. There are, too, the fly-front coats that were seen last year, and also the cut-aways. The dark piques are trimmed with bands of the same material, or with white duck or linen; sometimes with black duck or black linen. The smartest are trimmed with the same color as the cos- tume. Harper's Bazar. A belt and bow of white satin ribbon, or a belt and long sash ends the ubiquitous finish for summer costumes. Heaps of the fashionable narrow turned-over collars of fine nainsook trimmed with lace tucks, hemstitching or embroidery, are worn with satin or ribbon stocks. Narrow ribbon is still extremely fash- ionable for evening wear, and many of the most fragile evenings gowns are completely covered by circular lines of narrow ribbon. No bath room is complete without its completement of bath bags. These are made of the coarsest possible butter cloth, doubled to keep it from breaking, accord- ing to physician. They have a draw string and can be easily emptied. If filled with a quart of bran, a most excellent thing to tone up the skin and to promote a good circulation of the blood, a teaspoonful of orris root—this for perfume—and half a cake of white castile soap, chopped very fine, a splendid skin tonic is secured. The object of confining the bran in tne bag is to prevent the pipe that carries the water away from being plugged up. After a month of such a daily hath the skin will be white, clean and as smooth as polished marble. Don’t depend upon lotions, salves, ete., as complexion beautifiers. Regulate your diet, take plenty of outdoor exercise and thorough bathing, and nature will do the rest. Don’t wear pinchingshoes or uncom- fortable clothing. Don’t, if you value your good looks, be lazy. It is the moderate, easy-going woman that grows stout. Be active and quick-footed. Work while you do work, then rest when you rest. Don’t roughen the skin of your face by washing with anything but warm water. Then, after using the warm water. don’t use a cold towel, but rub briskly with a heated one. Don’t expect miracles at once. No cosmetic or treatment can restore bloom and freshness in a few weeks so that one need never care for them again. Don’t neglect soaking the hands in acidulated ‘water—a dash of vinegar or lemon juice is good at this season. Few people ever have perfectly clean hands without something of this kind. 3 There are few habits that are more com- mon and at the same time more destructive to the general comfort of the family than that of being unpunctual at meal times. Every housekeeper knows how trying is the experience of ‘keeping things hot’’ for the tardy member of the household. If the delinquent happen to be the father and husband, the rest of the family do not re- pair to the dining room until his’ arrival. Often business has detained him at his ot- fice or place of business, and then he is the object of our sympathy. As much cannot be said of the thoughtless young person who lingers over the book or needlework for 10 minutes after the other members of the household are assembled around the board, while the entrance of the tardy son or daughter necessitates a check in the smoothly running machinery of “helping’”’ and ‘‘passing.”’ When a guest is habitually unpunetual at meals her hostess has a right to consider that she is guilty of an inexcusable breach of etiquette. . Continued from page 2. The Accolade. one hand, modeled with the other the wet cloth about the upstretched figure. Dana, meanwhile, walked slowly up and down before the table, keeping a keen eye on the boy’s face squeezed into the leath- er harness. ‘‘Steady, corporal I’ he called, when the boy sagged from weariness. But the room was for the most part very quiet except for the clatter of the sword, the even tread, or the sound of the doctor’s hands on the wet bandages. Round and round the strips were wound in slow overlapping spirals, up to the hollow pits of the upraised arms, and down over the babyish paunch of the full stomach. The doctor seemed to be shaping the child like dough between his palms, as he wound the pliant swathes close about him. Then Da- na cleared his throat and talked about his regiment. It would takeat least a quarter of an hour for the plaster to set, a bad quarter of an hour to hang by the neck with arms clasped over the head, feet touching the table, chest out, stomach in, and eyes striking the ground at fifteen paces. ‘‘We go to the drill because we must,” Dana was saying; ‘‘and the men wear uni- forms the color of your smock, with white bands crossed over their backs, and they all march together. When they cross the armory—Ilike this, but all in a row—their legs make X, and you can see the light be- tween in a pattern. It is night-time when they drill, and over their heads isa big round roof like in the railway station, and from the roof electric lights—big shining white eggs like Sinbad the sailor saw— shine down and make it almost as light as day. ‘When the command comes to ‘Or- der Arms!’ down go the rifles with a big, big bang, and the noise goes rolling in the roof. You'd think it was the big ball in the bowling alley up there over your head. Then the men march by fours, shoulder to shoulder, so close that you cannot even see the white cross-bands on their breasts. So close corporal, that the long, narrow line looks like a long blue scarf that is being shaken up and down with two hundred heads bouncing on top. Then the music plays and the men step out—all straight and soldierly. That’s better, corporal! And when the captain tells us to kneel, we kneel, and when he tells us to fire, we fire. Every good soldier must do as he’s told, and that makes a man of him after a while.” The little blue-veined hands took a fresh ° grip of the tackle overhead. ‘‘Sing about the ’eathen!’’ said the mouth that moved with the effort in leather harness. Then Dick Dana sang in a big, untrained voice, a tune of his own making, about: . The ’eathen in is blindness bows down to wood an’ stone; ’E don’t obey no orders unless they is ’is own; 'E keeps’is side-arms awful; ’e leaves ’em all about; An’ then comes up the Regiment,, an’ pokes the ’eathen out. : The tune had a way of running out and leaving Dick Dana’s big voice just talking the words loud, clear and sing-songy. The doctor had done his work and was washing the plaster from his hands before the raw recruit, disciplined by hard knocks into an honorable color-sergeant, led his men where ——the hugely bullets come peckin’ through the ust; An’ no one wants to face 'em, but every beggar must, The doctor felt the cast, snapped at it with thumb and finger, and the plaster gave back a sound. ‘‘Another minute,’ he commented. And Dick Dana, with a fresh augmenta- tion of sound and time, sang: 'E’s just as sick as they are; 'is’eart is like to split; But ’e works ’em, works ’em, works ’em, till ’e feels em take the bit; The rest is ’oldin’ steady till the watchful bugles An’ as ‘em, lifts ’em, lifts em through the charge that wins the day ! The doctor unclasped the weary hands from the tackle, unclasped the collar buck- le, and lifted the small rigid body in the cast across his two arms, and laid the boy on his side on the table. ‘‘Let him rest here fora few minutes, then put him to bed. He will sleep from exhaustion.” The mother covered him lightly, slipped a tiny pillow under his head, and followed the doctor out. When they were alone, the young mili- tiaman knelt down beside the table and looked into the face on the pillow, damp with perspiration and discolored about cheeks and chin by the pressure of the straps. The eyes were closed heavily, and regular breathing lifted the little warrior’s corselet. Dana took off his plumed cap, and laid his firm ruddy cheek against the small relaxed hand that lay, palm up, uncurled languidly beside the sleeping boy. He did not hear Rosalie cross the car- peted floor. She hesitated—then drawing his sword lightly from its scabbard, she touched his shoulder with the blade, say- ing: ‘‘Arise, sir knight! Be faithful, brave, and fortunate as on this day!”’ Dana started to his feet—but softly, with an instinct not to arouse the child— and turning, saw the girl balancing the sword between her hands with a movement of sudden fear and flight about her posture. “What do you mean !’’ he whispered. ‘Don’t you know ?’’ she smiled. Then as his eyes kindled, she stepped aside, and leaning low over the child, kissed the red lips pressed out in happy sleep. Jamie stirred. = ‘‘Captain,’’ he murmured, ‘‘has some one crossed our lines ?”’ Then more-drow- sily, “Relieve the sentry at the door, Un- cle Dick.

By dint of a little coaxing she was induced to make a full confession, which was in this wise: ‘I felt so sorry for poor Satan and wanted to give him a little comfort. So I got a glass of cold wa- ter and poured it down a little hole in the kitchen floor.”’ ROBBED THE GRAVE—A startling ineci- dent, of which Mr. John Oliver, of Phila- delphia was the subject, is narrated by him as follows : ‘‘I was in a dreadful con- dition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three phy- sicians had given me up. Fortunately a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters ; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life and robbed the grave of another victim.”” No one should fail to try them. Only 50cts. per bottle at F. Potts Green’s drug store. No Medicine Needed.
