Deora Wald Bellefonte, Pa., April 7, 1899. FARM NOTES. —The supply of grit may be running low. Itis just about as essential to the fowls as teeth is to their owner. —No crop pays better for generous treatment than asparagus. A heavy coat- ing of rotted manure should be forked in at once. Much injury is sometimes done by waiting until the young growths are push- ing out from the crowns. The asparagus being a maritime plant, is much benefited by salt in some form. Along the coasts, in European countries, it is a common prac- tice to give the beds in the autumn a top dressing of sea-weed, or sea sand, in addi- tion to a good manuring, and, where such is not available, a light dressing of salt at the rate of about a barrel to the acre. Bone is also a good fertilizer for this plant. In digging, the fork is preferable to the spade, the latter being in danger of cutting the crowns or roots. Of course, where it is grown extensively, the plow takes the place of the fork. By the aid - of a gentle hotbed this esteemed vegetable, which has stood the tests of the world’s forcing markets for upwards of two hun- dred years, is easily produced. If there are no plants in store since the autumn they can be dug out of the bed in the garden and placed closely together on three inches of light soil in the frames, covering the same depth. The finest forced asparagus is grown in this way. The plants should not be less than three years old, and if a year or two older so much the better. — While it may be admitted that corn is a staple food, and corn meal the cheapest and most convenient material in general use on most farms, yet it is not the best food for chicks, nor is corn the best for fowls. In the winter, when the weather is cold, and the birds should be kept warm, then corn is the material for that purpose, as it is rich in carbon and creates warmth; bus for growing chicks it is insufficient. It must be considered, unless a growing chick is supplied with all the elements necessary for assisting in the formation of bone and muscle, it will gradually droop and die without apparent cause, in the same man- ner that a plant withers when not provided with fertilizers, though sometimes the chicks will appear healthy, but do not grow. Very young chicks when fed on corn meal are often attacked with howel diseases. The safest plan to adopt fora cure is to immediately change the food to an entirely different kind. Some may claim that they have raised chicks on corn meal, which is true, but only when the chicks have an opportunity to forage and secure insects and worms. Exclusive corn meal is only a partial and incomplete food. . Young chicks quickly succumb to cold, and more so todampuess. Even the young duck cannot exist under damp surround- ings. The chief objects, therefore, should be to avoid dampness and to keep the chicks warm. No hen should be allowed to carry her chicks wherever she pleases in cold weather. The supposition that the hen and chicks must be on the ground, and run at large, is a mistake. The hen that is confined in a coop, with adry board floor and where the chicks can at no time be- come in the slightest degree damp, will be successful in raising her brood. A coop made of lath, and four feet square, will provide ample accommodation for a hen and ten chicks. No house is necessary if the lath runs are kept under a shed or on a barn floor. The chicks will demand at- tention, however. Regularity of feeding, and on a variety, with strict cleanliness, is very important, but‘as the early chicks are those that bring the high prices the poul- tryman will be highly compensated for the labor bestowed.— American Gardening. —Every farmer thinks he knows how to plow. It is fortunate that even the least skillful can stir the soil enough to grow a crop. It is unfortunate that so few can plow well enough to raise the best crop at Jeast tax on himself and team. We can usually tell whether a man knows how to plow by his manner of walking after or holding a plow. If we see one clinging to the handles with main strength and tug- ging at them with pure awkwardness, it is safe to say that he has not learned the art, albeit he may have followed the plow many years. Two men were plowing in the same field, on the same land. They had plows of the same make and number, but looking at their work I noticed the furrows showed in pairs. One plowman walked easily, holding his plow without any ap- parent effort. The other one wabbled in the furrow and was making hard work of it. When asked why the furrows turned by their plows did not lap alike and leave a uniform surface, the bungler said his plow was of no account. It would not stick in the ground unless he held it onto the bar and pushed. A glance showed the trouble was not in the plow. He had tak- | en the doubletrees off the wagon as they were handy, and the other man had the doubletrees that suited and were made for plowing. We sent him to get the right doubletrees and found the trouble was as we supposed. The plows cut fourteen inches and the doubletrees should be doub- le that. The one he had been using was thirty-six inches long. Taking hold of his plow and team for a few minutes we knew by the feeling of the plow that it was not taking enough land to run directly behind the center of a draft. A change of the draft let the plow run level and cut the fourteen inches and turn the furrow to match that of the other plow. Returning to the field later I found the man yet lug- ging at his plow, determined to make it do work that would be approved. We could see from the road that he was not letting his plow and team do as well as they might. He insisted that he must push and raise the handles; no plow would run it- self. He was working hard but doing poor work. He had his hip straps too short and was taxing his team and himself unneces- sarily. This was adjusted for him and after showing him how easy the work could be done, he yet insisted there was a difference in the plows. The next day we found on our daily visit to the field that something was not as we had set for him the day before. He had shortened up his traces, as he said horses could pull their load better to it. We told him that was true so long as he had the line of draft right and that was easily put wrong by too short or too long a stitch. After adjusting the traces and testing the plow again to see that it was ready to do the work well and easy for man and team, we lett with orders to let things be as now adjusted. The man finally succeeded in plowing a decent fur- row hut his lesson came like pulling teeth and he was not willing to admit his faults in the first place. It takes as much com- mon sense and ingenuity to plow a good furrow as well as drive a locomotive and I further think a man should serve an ap- prenticeship between the plow handles as well as at the blacksmith forge. ‘the front. ‘over collar remains to be proven, but be FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. The Maiden Swanwhite will make ber debut with warm weather. Not in many years have so many white frocks been seen. Two or three strong-willed young women have already announced an intention of wearing nothing but white from May to October—pique for cold days, nainsook and muslin for warm ones. Pique frocks are so-called by courtesy. They are made this season of insertion with pique enough to hold the trimming to- gether. With nainsook the case is much the same. Strips of lace or insertion alter- nate with rows of tucks and allow no glimpse of plain material. It would be safe for any charity bazar to offer, on short notice, a prize for an un- trimmed summer dress—there would be no claimants. As breadth of appearance decreases, so cubits of height are added. A long skirt, a long, tapering waist and a hat trimmed high appear as certainly together as the three fates. Cloth dresses made fanciful in some way are quite a feature of fashion, but for those who cannot afford many gowns the plainer coat and skirt costume made by a first-class tailor is the thing to have. In fact, there is no costume which can compare with it for general usefulness the year through, and especially for the woman who wants to dress stylishly on a small allowance. She cau afford to spend at least one-third of her yearly stipend on this gown rather than dribble it away on two or three cheap ones. This is the foundation for any well-chosen wardrobe. and particularly for the woman of limited means. The fashion for shirt waists and fancy silk blouses, which like the brook seems to go on forever, gives an opportunity for great variety in this one costume. Women who can have any num- ber of gowns can afford to experiment with cheap tailors, but the one with the small dress allowance must see that she makes no mistake in this one gown. With a tail- or gown, cne well-made China silk, me- dium in coloring, some pretty wash waists, two piques uits and one or two organdies for evening a young lady can make a very good appearance all summer. Add to this outfit a dressy gown of black net and the young matron is supplied with all the nec- essaries for a stylish summer wardrobe. The shirtwaist resembling the old-fash- joned ‘‘Garibaldi’’ waist is gaining more and more ground each day. This style has no yoke in the back, nor any fullness across the shoulders. In the front it has just a small cluster of gathers each side of the pleat. In the back at the waistline the fullness that comes in from the shoulders is fulled in at the centre. This model is undoubtedly attributable to the tuck craze for when made in this style, shirt waists are almost invariably tucked, very often all over—sleeves and all—as if made from all over tucking by the yard. A three- quarter-inch strap, stitched down on the shoulder seam, is a distinguishable feature of the tailor made waists. Turned back cuffs appear on the majority, but straight or turned back, they have round corners and are so narrow as to be little more than a band. Four large pearl buttons fasten The popularity of the turned this as it may, the large, soft bow tie will undoubtedly supersede the narrow string tie. A silk gown is almost a necessity in sum- mer. There are many foulards to be bought as cheaply as forty cents a yard if an old fashioned pattern is chosen, and there are ~o many designs in foulards now that it would take a very keen observer to detect what is or isnot a new design. This gown should be made up effectively, but not too elaborately, and be improved upon by having two waists, one a plain color and the other to match the skirt. If econ- omy has to be consulted very closely, a fig- ured black silk is better than a figured fou- lard, as, for instance, a black and white silk, for it will do double duty. One of the waists can be made with a guimpe of | net, and will do duty as an evening waist. There are a great many pretty designs in the figured black silk, a very thin quality being the best to choose for summer wear. One smart muslin frock is all sufficient. It ought to be made up over a fitted lining. A very good plan is to have the lining, which, if possible, should be of taffeta silk, | make quite separate from the gown. The skirt must be cut with the greatest care, and flare out well around the foot, and the waist lining must fit to perfection. Any sort of muslin will look well over it, and two muslin gowns can often be made up to wear over this one lining. In this entire outfit it is not necessary,to have more than half a dozen gowns, not in- cluding the walking gown, and if any dis- cretion is used in choosing the materials, the entire cost will be very small, and quite come under the head of a moderate priced summer outfit. The muslin need not be of the finest quality. There are some very attractive ones for ten cents a yard, and none of the other gowns that have been spoken of involve great expense. The silk gown will cost more than any other, but it will not need a silk lining.— Harper's Ba- zar. Here are three artistic suggestions for dressing the heads of little girls born to the world of fashion who vary in age from 4 to 12 years. No. 1.—At the age of 4, if babe’s fore- head is broad and high, drape it with a softly waved bang. Cut the hair so that, when curled and combed out, it will form two round, bunchy masses of locks at the side of each cheek, with ends well curled up, and not touching her little frock. No. 2.—At the age of 6, the hair should be waved and turned back from the face very loosely, and then hang in loose, open curls about the shoulders. Two curly rings of hair should rest above the eye- brows. No. 3.—From the 10th to the 12th year the hair is still allowed to hang in waved locks, turned softly back from the face, a la pompadour on top, but tucked behind the ears. Its length should not extend be- yond the collar band, but it is to be combed out in a bunchy manner. In the middle of the forehead one curly lock, while about the forehead the hair is trained into grace- ful irregularities. The world is very sadly in need of more home makers. A very common cause of domestic disarrangement isa lack of discre- tion in the house-mother’s estimate of her own strength. She plans to do in one day the duties of three, hence night finds the household in disorder, and the wife and mother tired, cross and nervous to such a degree that she must be let alone. To overdo is a needless tax on the mental as well as the physical state. If the proba- bility of interruptions were considered in estimating a day’s work, one might be bet- ter prepared to contend with the annoyan- ces that attend them. — It is better to preserve your health than to cure disease.
