w a Deora Watdpn Bellefonte, Pa., April 28, 1899. FARM NOTES. Work for the Vegetable Grower. The time for general sowings and plant- ings, for this section at least, 18 now at hand. The weather for the past two weeks has been most seasonable. BUSH BEANS. Plant for early use now, Red Valentine, early Refugee, and Warwell’s Kidney wax in the warmest part of the garden in drills two feet apart and the beans three inches apart in the rows. By the time they are up the weather may be suitable. If we are to have early crops we must take some chances. BEETS. Sow Bastian’s Early Turnip and Early Eclipse (both are good varieties in every way) in warm, light ground in drills twelve inches apart. As beets are best while in a small state, the thinning need not be severe, three or four inches apart will do. CELERY. This may now be sown on rich, moist land in drills twelve inches apart. Cover the seed by rolling the ground or pressing in with the feet. If the ground is of a light, ashy nature that dries out quickly, a cold frame is a better place to raise a crop of young plants with a certainty. In either case keep the ground cool and damp by shading until the seedlings appear. Water is the principal agent in the pro- duction of good celery, but the less water- ing it is necessary to do until the plants are over ground the better, as some soils get crusted from this cause. Unless con- stantly and carefully cultivated many blanks in the seed bed will result. Sow White Plume for early fuse; Giant Pascal and Sandringham for later. DANDELION. Sow Broad Leaved in drills twelve inches apart and thin to six or eight inches in the drill. This is a healthy vegetable that should be more generally grown for con- stant use. KOKL-RABI. Is a useful vegetable that helps to give variety to the culinary list. I don’t know if it is generally understood that the roots from sowings made in July and August make a tender dish in winter. They can be stored like turnips. Sow Early Vienna in drills fifteen inches apart and thin to four or five inches in the drill. LETTUCE. ' For first sowings Boston Market and Dutch Butter are suitable sorts; put in rows twelve inches apart and thin to twelve inches in the row. The manure for this crop should not be covered up too deep- ly. ONIONS. Sow thinly in drills twelve inches apart and thin to four inches in the drills, if cared for nice sized bulbs will be the result. Sow thickly for sets. They don’t need thinning. Plant out sets if not already done. PEAS. Plant second early peas, Abundance and Fillbasket. The Marrows may now be freely planted. We find it useful to sow some of the round variety (Eureka) all through the planting season, RADISH. In rows ten inches apart, sown in warm, sandy soil, promotes a quick and tender growth. In heavy ground a little sand shaken in the seed drill will give clean roots free from disease. Cardinal Globe and Early White Turnip are good va- rieties. SALSIFY (OYSTER PLANT.) Sow Long White in drills fifteen inches apart, and thin to eight inches apart in the drill. The oyster plant is straighter, cleaner and longer if grown in a deeply dug, sandy soil that has been well manured for the previous crop. TURNIPS. Make first sowing in rows fifteen inches apart. Red Top Strapleaf 1s, I believe, the best all-round turnip for family use. Sow for succession in a couple of weeks. It is not advisable to make more than two sow- ings, because when the weather gets very warm the bulbs become hard, stringy and diseased. CABBAGE AND LETTUCE. Plant out cabbage and lettuce that have been well hardened. GLOBE ARTICHOKES. This is a good time to sow seeds of arti- chokes in drills 12 inches apart. They will be ready to transplant into permanent beds in twelve months. The vigor of old plantations is best kept up by lifting some plants every year, dividing the crowns and planting them four feet apart each way in deeply dug, well manured land. Healthy plants in full growth have a tropical and ornamental appearance in the garden. POTATOES. Plant Early Rose for first diggings and State of Maine for general crops, the latter is a heavy cropper of good quality. Plant for hand culture in drills from 24 to 28 inches apart, 6 inches deep and 12 inches asunder in the drill; for horse cultivation, in drills three feet apart. Freshly cut seed should be allowed to dry before planting, otherwise many of the sets will rot, espec- ially if the weather is cold and damp. The driest potatoes are produced on light, rich soils, and chemical is preferable to an- imal manure, especially on heavy land. The tubers grown on the former are drier, cleaner and freer from disease. The or- dinary yield of this important crop may be doubled by constant cultivation during the growing season. This is a matter which is only half attended to by the vast majority of growers. Sets that have been sprouted in heat may now be planted out.—Ameri- can Gardening. —AIll new strawberry beds should be plated this month. If the variety is both staminate and pistillate there will be no difficulty next year in having the blossoms fertilized, but should staminate and pistil- late varieties be used (two varieties) they should be of kinds that blossom at ‘he same time or disappointment will result. When the new plants are rooted and begin to grow cultivate them with a wheel hoe and apply fertilizer, as the growth gained the first year will be a great advantage. Plants set out this month will throw out runners, form matted rows and produce fruit next spring. 3 —The canker (or measuring) worms will soon put in an appearance. They can be destroyed by spraying with a mixture of Paris green and water. ‘The spraying should be done early, and repeated several times through the season. | in front. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Women with faded complexions should go very slow about putting hyacinthine blue or corn flowers on their hats. This beautiful shade of blueseems to develop all the latent sallowness of the skin. ‘‘After twenty-five,”’ as a great actress declares, “‘color is more becoming beneath the face than above it.’’ Vivid-colored artificial flowers are extremely trying to all but youthful cheeks. The flowers have not the softness of tulle, velvet or ribbon. Often the same color can be worn with impunity in these materials, where in stiff flowers it would damage one’s good looks. The furore for the Eton jacket, that raged during the World’s Fair year, has returned, and promises to be as universal this summer as it was then. The univer- sal becomingness of this jacket is doubtless one reason for its return to popularity. The shortness of the back and sides, around the hips, makes it the thing for the woman inclined to embonpoint, while be- ing cut off in a straight line around the waist apparently cuts the length of the too slender woman, and makes it just the thing for her. Do you remember the rage of the purple gown in the spring and fall of ’96? Well, the gray one of the present outdoes the pur- ple one of that day. Every other woman one meets has on a gray gown, or at least a gray jacket. It isa trying shade to wear, requiring a good complexion and bright color to make it entirely becoming. Not- withstanding this it is fashion’s first choice. : Kilt skirts are much worn by the little men from 2 to 5 years of age and mothers of really good taste do not put trousers on their boys until they are 5 or 6. Belts-are a very necessary part of the wardrobe of the little girl or little boy these days. . White or black patent leather, or of the dress material itself, fastened with a pearl buckle, are most desirable. The cut of children’s skirts follows very closely on that of the grown-ups. They are very short, however. Until the advent of real summer little girls’ skirts will not be elaborately trimmed and then never with ruffles but tucks or insertion. The white under skirt is again in the land. Is this brought about by the edict that no rustle is permissible for the thor- oughly up-to-date woman. Pins to fasten the pleats of the back of the skirt have the call, for the summer at least. Straps, cordsand buttons have been tried in succession, but evidently the fancy pin is the survival of the fittest. If she hasn’t anything else milady uses her cuff pins. As to the all-important corset, if you are long-waisted and have a low bust, be sure that your corset is not long-waisted and cut for a high bust. In other words, have your corset properly fitted by a corseture before you buy it. This does not always mean that you should have your corset made to measure—which is, as a rule, quite expensive, and not within the reach of all women—but have your corset-dealer send home several for your approval, which carefully fit on, selecting that which meets the demands, of your own figure. The ma- jority of women need a medium length corset with short hips and a moderately low bust, combined with a reasonably long waist. Only for neglige or low cut gowns should the low corset be used. This style is made largely in imported French makes only intended for light and dressy use. See that it does not cramp you and force your flesh out of its natural position, but that it holds you firm and gives you the necessary support that most female figures require. If you are stout and of full bust be sure of plenty of bust room—not cut too high, else you are sure of crowding the flesh high up on the chest, giviug the much-to-be-de- plored stuffed appearance, which looks as though the stays were too tight to allow breathing space. Every season there are produced corset novelties elaborately trimmed with ruffles and jabots of lace, ribbon rosettes and elab- orate embroidering. But the wise woman, with an eye to economy and the good fit of her gowns, will admire their dainty ele- gance from afar, and be content to see them remain on the forms where they more prop- erly belong, rather than on a human figure, to bulge or misshape a tight-fitting bodice or soon to fray and look untidy. The simpler the corset is in its adornment the better it answers the purpose in making a snug fit. A single exception may be made in favor of the corset planned especially for slight figures, which have rufflings of silk or lace just inside the bust to aid the dress- maker in obtaining rounded curves. Many women make the mistake of get- ting the corset too high in the bust, de- pending upon the loosening of the laces at the top of the back to make the proper size This is altogether wrong, for the required fullness in front must come from the cut and spring of the bust-form alone, and not by throwing the back out of place. The walls of a room always express the character of the occupant. If you are athletic your golf clubs, skates and foils find appropriate and artistic dis- posalion the walls of your den, interspersed with photographs of record holders, strings of racing programmes, if you are lucky, a jockey caps of Tod’s and a few old English prints of hunting scenes or cricket matches. If your tastes are multi-colored you will sooner or later be heartbroken over the dis- approval of some critic whose opinions you valued who find your carefully arranged trophies too varied and calls your pet snuggery a ‘‘curiosity shop,’’ but if your interests are less complex you need not worry. A room can be adorned beautifully with fish hooks and photographs of prize catches. If your fad is pottery your scheme must adopt itself to the coloring of old Delft plates or early Dutch pitchers. You can have a carpenter build you plain, solid shelves of pine wood, which you stain into first quality of Flemish oak shelves which have a plate rail, clumsy- looking side and a bar beneath, with hook; for beer mugs and things. Thesame heavy shelves over your doors support big plat- ters, willow pattern or early English, and little cabinets contain specially choice specimens. Your furniture must also be heavy and Dutch. At some cabinetmakers you can now get the quaintest old oak settees and stools and straight-backed chairs which agree beautifully with the scheme, to further which your pictures must be framed in black with dark mounts. There is a difference in the chest meas- urements of bodices this spring, and it, too, is in favor of ‘‘expansion.”’ Speaker Reed Drops Politics for Legal Work. -NEW YORK, April 19.—It is announced by W. M. Barnum that Speaker Thomas B. Reed has accepted the offer to become a member of the law firm of Simpson, Thacher & Barnum, in this city. It is understood Mr. Reed will resign his seat in Congress and remove to New York. The statement has been made that Mr. Reed is guaranteed a yearly income of $50.000. When asked if he would tender big resignation to the House Mr. Reed said: “‘I would rather not talk on that subject —in fact I have not given the matter any consideration as yet.” The speaker declined to talk about his business transactions or intentions, and was equally reticent as to whether he would take up his residence in this city after his return from Europe, where he intends to pass the greater part of the coming sum- mer. . Nevertheless it is said the contract has been signed. Mr. Barnum said that Mr. Reed had already practically become a member of the firm, but would not enter actively upon his new duties until after he had taken a brief vacation in Europe. The final decision was not made by Mr. Reed until all the details of his acceptance of their offer were arranged. Mr. Barnum could not say exactly when the speaker would leave for his European sojourn or just how long he would remain. He was to have sailed with his family to-day on the Paris, but his stay here will not be much prolonged. In all likelihood. his friends say, he will remain on the other side during the summer. Smallpox Epidemic. The Town of Windber is Under Quarantine. Smallpox is assuming the nature of an epidemic in the new mining town of Wind- ber, Somerset county, and Scalp Level, Cambria county. Twenty-seven cases are under treatment in the two villages. There are also several cases in Altoona. The Al- toona Gazette says : ‘‘Railroad officials have given assurance that no passengers will be taken out of Windber until the disease has abated. The several hack lines running into Johnstown will be tied up for a simi- lar length of time, and to all respects Wind- ber will be dead to the world until the battle is fought and won. The mails are now being fumigated at the Windber post office. A case of smallpox has broken out in Hastings, Cambria county. The victim is a jeweler who worked at Windber, con- tracted the disease and then went home. The Hastings authorities erected a pest house, but the location was unsatisfactory to many person, so the structure was burn- ed down Monday night. The Johnstown board of health has been notified that there are twenty-five cases in New Paris, Bedford county. The Ute Indian Lands Open for Settle- ment. Under the provisions of the President’s proclamation the Southern Use Indian res- ervation, embracing 600,000 acres of ara- ble lands, will be subject to entry by bona fide settlers on and after May 4, 1899, and until such time as all said lands may be taken up. The entry of the above named lands is subject to the desert, homestead and townsite laws, and the United States laws governing the disposal of mineral, stone and timber lands. These lands are situated along the South- ern border of the State of Colorado, south and east of Durango, where the United States law office is located. It is said these lands are located in a rich and fertile section of valley and mesa, there being no mountains on the reservation. The section is well watered, with a most inviting climate, and is one of the last In- dian reservations containing desirable land to be thrown open to the whites. Durango will be the railroad station for contemplating settlers, and the Burlington Route, the best and shortest line, either from Chicago or St. Louis to Colorado, is looking for a large influx of home-seekers. Salad of Tomato Aspic. A Sightly Dish Good for Capricious Appetites. Before the fresh tomatoes are plentiful enough to be reasonable in price, will come, perhaps, the greatest longing for tomato salads, and it 18.at this season that this delicious appetizer should be made from canned tomatoes. - Strain one pint of toma- toes, add one teaspoonful of salt, a salt- spoonful of pepper and onion juice and add a quarter of a box-of gelatine. Put aside for hali an hour, then bring to a boiling point and pour either into small cups or molds and set away to harden. Make half a pint of mayonnaise dressing, add about half a pint of whipped cream and mix care- fully. When ready to serve arrange three or four crisp green lettuce leaves on each individual plate, turn out the tomato jelly heap around the mayonnaise, sprinkle with finely chopped parsely or cress, and serve very cold. This is one of the most delicious of spring salads. ——*Sister ’ll be down ’'n ’bout an hour,’’ announced little Bobby Wiggins, as he ushered his sister’s beau into the parlor. ‘An hour?’ repeated the young man in surprise. - ‘Oh, well, she said ter tell yer she’d be down in a minute, but yer know how that is yourself.” Announcements.
