Dene ald Bellefonte, Pa., July 14, 1899. FARM NOTES. Late cabbage plants will be benefited by having the ground worked frequently. About a tablespoonful of nitrate of soda scattered around each plant and worked in- to the soil will be of advantage. The cab- bage is a plant that responds quickly to clean cultivation, and the more the ground is worked the better it thrives. One of the best modes of destroying Can- ada thistles is to pour a gill of sulphuric acid in the crown of each plant. The acid destroys the plant clear down to the roots Se there are but few plants that will sur- vive the treatment. The cost is little, but in using the acid one must be careful. It should be applied from a bottle or some oth- er vessel made of glass. . The use of stakes to prop a tree that is overloaded with fruit is universal, but pro- gressive fruit-growers no longer believe in propping the trees, preferring to thin out the fruit at an early stage, and thus lessen the work of the tree. It should be the object to grow choice fruit, instead of quantity, so as to get better prices and avoid shipping that which is not desirable in market. Barren land may serve well for sheep, but to expectsheep to thrive on such loca- tions is demanding too much. It is well enough to give up such land to sheep, as they will gradually improve it, but the sheep should be given a little grain and hay in addition to that which they secure. Poor lands will improve when used for sheep, and more food will be secured each year therefrom, but the sheep must be as- sisted. . After the asparagus plants bave complet- ed their growth cut away the tops, let them dry, use straw or hay and burn the bed over. To have good stalks next year the preparation should be made by apply- ipg manure plentifully in the fall. While the crop demands but little attention dur- ing the greater portion of the year, yet it must be looked after and plenty of plant food given if the bed is tobe productive every season. If butter is a specialty on the farm the pigs are necessary to insure a profit. In the summer season the feeding of skim milk and buttermilk to pigs is the best and cheapest mode of making pork. With a aver patch for the pigs to occupy and a s of bran and buttermilk at night they | grow rapidly without any other food. pigs are confined in pens they should nave the grass cut and thrown into their pens, as they should have some kind of bulky food. In reply to numerous inquiries on the part of fruit growers and farmers in refer- ence to spraying and spraying implements as a protection against the seale epidemic that has invaded our country, I would say, in the first place, that the lecanium scale can be entirely suppressed by means of spraying;it is therefore,not a serious calam- ity. In the second place, the best spray- ing mixture for scaly insects are the kero- sene emulsions, composed either of soft soap, boiling water and kerosene in the proportion of 2 4 1, or of whale oil soap, water and kerosene in the proportion of 1 65 8 or of kerosene and sour milk in the proportion of 2 1. These compounds should be thoroughly churned before use from three to five minutes, after which they should have a thick battery consistency. This is to be diluted with from 15 to 20 parts of water for most of the plant lice and other soft-hodied insects, while from four to nine parts of water are to be used for scale insects and larger plant bugs, larvae and beetles. In the case of scale in- sects these emulsions should also be applied in winter with sponge and brush. In the third place, care must be taken with all oily washes not to allow the liquid to run down the trunk, for, if it should reach the roots it would seriously injure or kill the tree. = During the growing season spraying should be repeated every week until ex- amination with lens shows that the insects are practically exhausted. In the fourth place, the spraying should be triangular, i. e., from below, from the sides and from above. In the fifth place, for fruit trees of the average height the cheapest and best sprayer for dilute kerosene emulsion, as well as with Paris green and London pur- ple is an approved force pump. Rye isa hardy plant, growing in the warm days of winter and the early days of spring, and springs up ready for heading early in the season. If it is left until near- ly headed out before the crop is turned un- der, an immense amount of water is pump- ed out of the soil by the growing plants, and in a dry season there may not be enough moisture left in the ground to start the summer crop well. More than this, the rye stalks become slightly woody, and ly- ing in the bottom of the furrrow, they hoid the topsoil away from the subsoil and shut off the rise of moisture from below. In this way the chances for a good summer crop may be ruined. The roots of the plants hold some dry soil around them, making the ground cloddy, and as the rye rots cavities are made at the bottom of the furrow, and a proper amount of moisture cannot be secured and held for a summer crop in a dry season. There is always another danger arising from the plowing down of a heavy growth of rye in hot weather. The mass of green stuff in its fermentation ‘‘sours the land’ oftentimes, as we farmers express it. There are living organisms in all good soils at work for the farmer, making tough plant- food available. They multiply in a sweet soil, adding available fertility all the time, but cannot thrive in a good soil that has been made acid by the addition of a mass of green material in hot weather. I have seen good fields made unproductive for years by plowing under a heavy coat of rye, clover or weeds in midsummer. Such a result is not always gotten, of course, but may be expected in warm latitudes, and especially in the case of heavy soils, though very liable to occur with sandy soils also. Much land is slightly too acid for best ve- sults in farming. The safe thing to do is to break the rye sod as early in the spring as is necessary for reasonable early planting of a spring crop. The rye will then he several inches high, and the roots will be found to extend deeper into the soil than the plow goes. There will be an increase in the amount of organic material in the land, an increase of fertility and an im- provement of the mechanical condition of the soil, without any danger of souring the land or robbing it of moisture. Rye, asa manurial plant has been used aright by some experimenters. When crimson clover does not thrive rye is the best winter crop we have. It is sure in making a catch, does fairly well on thin land; and works when many other plants would remain dormant. ——— FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. A tea punch is refreshing in hot weather. For one gallon of punch take three lemons, three oranges, and one pineapple shredded or grated. It is better to shred it from the core with a silver fork. Also take one box of strawberries, to be used whole, or if too large to be cut in half. The tea must be made with one tablespoonful of Ceylon tea and one quart of boiling water. Pour the water on the tea and let it stand fifteen minutes and then strain. To the juice of the oranges, lemons and shredded pineapple add one cup or one pins of sugar, according to the acidity of the mixture, and let it stand for half an hour. Let the tea stand until cold, then put altogether and add one quart of Apol- linaris and a large block of ice. The pulp of the oranges can be left in if desired. The strawberries are putin last, and there must be thin slices of lemon to serve in the tumbler, with a candied cherry, if de- sired. To remove freckles, says the Ladies’ Home Journal, mix one ounce of lemon juice, a quarter of a drachm of powdered borax, half a drachm of pulverized sugar, and let it stand in a glass for a few days; then apply it and let it dry on the skin. Or apply with a linen cloth two tablespoonfuls of grated horseradish mixed with a teaspoon- ful of sour milk. if a girl freckles easily she should keep this lotion and use it fre- quently, being careful not to allow it to touch her eyes. Ink stains, when quite fresh, may be re- moved by washing the articles first in pure water, and second in soapy, lastly rubbing the stain in lemon juice. If an old stain, oxalic acid is the only thing to apply. Milk and coffee or tea stains on silk dresses may be removed with a mixture of five parts glycerine and five parts water; with a fifth part of ammonia. First try a small piece of silk to see whether the ammonia changes the color of the silk, if so, leave out the ammonia. Apply the mixture with a soft brush, and leave it an all night, then rub with a clean cloth. If the mater- ial stained is woolen, use one ounce of glycerine, nine ounces of water and half an ounce of ammonia. Apply several times with a brush, then rub with a cloth. For gravy stains on silk wash first with soap and water, then rub with turpentine. Stains from alkalies or soap will usually vield to the lemon juice or white vinegar. Tt is a good thing to keep a bottle of am- monia, turpentine and benzine in the house, also one of purified oxgall. With one or other of these spots or stains may be re- moved. Turpentine and benzine should be applied with a flannel, ammonia with a piece of the same material as the article operated upon, and oxgall with a sponge. Just now a black velvet bow is very much worn in the hair. The bow is built of either black velvet or satin, the loops and ends being equal, and it is fastened to a comb with good, long prongs. A long shell hair pin will serve nicely, but three or four prongs are usually to be depended on better than two for keeping the bow in place. No matter where the knot of hair is on the head this bow can be pinned at the top of it. So many women to whom a simple coif- fure is becoming, have wondered how they could arrange the hair to look well when the hat was lifted. Every woman knows that feeling that she can’t take her hat off at some place be- cause the result will not help her good looks. So think how the bow will help. The idea of wearing them under the hat when the hat is soon to be taken off, has given rise to the fashion of the bow in the hair at all times. It is to be worn in the mornings about the house as well as’in the evening. Women will go bareheaded so much this season and atall summer resorts that the big black bow will take the place of ordinary headgear. For evening wear this somber bow may give way to one of colored tulle; the bows and ends the same length. These tulle bows are to be made of every color, and the latest style is to match the one in the hair with a similar one at the breast. Remember that the leather belt does not naturally associate with chiffon neck ar- rangements. The pique Ascot, string or Wales tie is better with said severe belt of leather. Of course, a sash is out of the question with this severe neckwear. The linen collar and little masculine tie must not complete the pretty silk waist or the one of trimmed mull; leave them for the waist of linen or heavy cotton. Leather belts or silk belting with plain buckles should accompany masculine neck- wear, though buckles on ribbon are well with the ribbon four-in-hand. The fancy clasps are reserved for mull and silk waists. Now that there’s no fullness ‘round the hips the properly cut skirt needs no hook- ing-up scheme. It’s the waist that needs holding down. : So long as you’ve a linen collar topped waist don’t wear chains. A cord will hold your watch. A trimmed sailor is the dressiest hat al- lowable with the shirt-waist. With rib- bons there’s a hit more latitude. ; Those who either dislike or find the shirt-waist unbecoming are more reconciled to the waist that matches the skirt. This all in white pique is decidedly smart. The great point is to appear dressed, in- stead of suggesting the remnant counter— which isn’t saying a thing against the rem- nant counter. Being dressed in remnants and looking it are two different things. Black and dark blue dotted swiss mus- lins make serviceable gowns that are the the fashion for the moment, and may be worn for many occasions where woolen frocks have heretofore been considered cor- rect. They are made over self-colored lin- ings. which are more often of muslin than of silk this summer, or over white ones. A black swiss dotted with white is ex- tremely smart, while all blue ones are liked with a soft silk collar and tie of lace in cream color. In the gingham, lawn and dimity frocks the pointed overskirt prevails. When there are not two skirts the ruffles or bands of embroidery or laceare put on to give the deep overskirt effect. The popular over- skirt is long and cut into two deep points, one coming directly in front and the other at the back. The bodices that go with skirts of this style have yokes and sleeves immed at the top to correspond with the skirt. Immediately upon leaving the sleeping room in the morning the windows should be raised full height and the doors thrown open to enable the fresh air outside to reach every corner of the apartment in free circulation. Borrowed From Nature. How Art and Craft Have Followed Her Designes. Debts We Seldom Think Of. The Grasshopper Has Given Us Points and So Have Many of the Birds and Animals. Who first wove that delicate and beauti- ful fabric we call lace? We do not know his name. But we do know, says a writer in London answers, that he took the spider’s web for his model, and we still talk of lace filmy as a cobweb. What gave Professor Bell his idea for the telephone? Was it not the drum of the human ear, a delicate skin stretched tight to receive the air vibrations we call sound ? Most readers have seen that machine com- monly known as the ‘‘hay-devil,’’ a sort of circular horse-rake, used for tossing damp hay into the air and redryingit. A varia- tion of the machine is made in America, and called the ‘‘hay-tedder.”” The long legs of this are modeled precisely after the hind-legs of the common grasshopper. “If you want to dig adock or a railway cutting, a steam navy or excavator is used designed exactly after the shape of an acorn, with each flange on hinges. A somewhat similar machine, only it gathers bay in- stead of gravel and earth, is modeled on the clutching claws of the crab. Do you know what a pulsometer is? A form of pump, with a double pipe and a ball-shaped valve, which alternates from side to side, thus supplying a constant stream of water. The heart is a more per- feet pump than the human brain ever de- vised unaided. While on the subject of the human frame, it might be mentioned that the idea of ball bearings, such as are used on bicycles,is only a development borrowed from the joints of our body. Our knee and elbow joints are perfect samples of the ball and socket which has from early times been the simplest and most complete used by engineers. When a man jumps into the water he puts his hands over his head and takes a “‘header.’’ But that is not natural. A child does not do so; he wades in and does not immerse his head at all. Man undoubtedly borrowed the idea from the water-rat, one of the creatures which rejoices in this head- foremost style of taking to the water. Another four-legged creature taught a na- tion the science of house-building. The Indian name for his own wigwam is the same as that he gives to the beaver’s ‘‘lodge.”” The beaver was once common enough in European and British rivers,and it is not unlikely that to this creature we owe our wholescience of dams and bridge building. Certainly Master Flattail could give points and a beating to man of the Stone Age in the way of architecture. The South Sea Islanders are experts at canoe sailing, and make long open sea voy- ages in tiny craft. They have a tradition— probably a true one—that the first of their fathers to build a sailboat copied his sail from that of the dainty nautilus, a small shellfish, which has the power of creating a delicate membrane in the form of a sail, and so skimming across the waves of tropic seas. Architects owe much to nature. The spiendid columns, Corinthian and Ionic, we so much admired originated in the stately trunk of the date palm, and the delicate ornamentation of the capitals began in copying leaves and fruit of various kinds. Indeed, nearly all ornamentation in archi- tecture, conventional and otherwise, is tak- en more or less directly from nature. The crenelated ornament, for instance, is deriv- ed from the dainty scallop-shell, and the dog-tooth moulding on Norman arches be- trays its origin in its name. Weight and measures owe their inception to natural beginnings. Some of them still show this by their names. What is a foot but the average length of the human understanding? The Jewish span was the distance stretched between the thumb and forefinger, and the cubit, 18 to 22 inches, the distance from the elbow to the middle finger. The grain weight was originally a grain of wheat. Diamonds and other prec- ious stones are still measured by the carat which is the bean of an Abyssinian tree, the “‘cuara.’”’ It weighs about the same as four grains. Without the telescope and microscope modern civilization would have halted sad- ly. These natural aids to sight are nothing more than artificial developments of the crystal lens of the eye itself. That was the first lens-maker’s model. In the early ages of the world men lived in holes in the rocks and cliffs. High on the edge of a precipice some enterprising savage one day watched a swallow gather clay and piece together bit by bit ber snug and cozy nest. Could he copy her? he wondered; and forthwith set to work, and eventually produced a sort of hut. Rough indeed—nothing near so well finished as the model. But it was the direct ancestor of the palaces of today. To another of the bird tribe we are doubt- less indebted for the useful thatch that keeps our barns and ricks dry. The South African weaver bird, which lives and nests in colonies, constructs a heavy rain-proof thatch over its congregation of nests. It is worthy of note that the Zulu’s kraal of to- day is roofed in an almost precisely similar manner. Recently experiments have been made with a view to driving ships, not by a serew, but by a jet of water projected from her stern. This advice was taken direct from the cuttle-fish, which has no fins, but swims in this way at a great speed without them. Every flying-maching inventor whose in- ventions seem to promise any degree of suc- cess has studied the soaring of hawks and buzzards. The successful flying-machine of the future will almost undoubtedly not be a balloon, but depend for its flying pow- ers on great aeroplanes, similar to the wide- winged expanses of soaring birds. And so on all through the wide range of what we call applied mechanics, Any great inventor or philosopher, from Edison ( own- ward, will cheerfully ackrowledge that it is from watching wild creatures in their homes and in the open woods or fields that many of the best and greatest ideas have come to him.

Dixie Thompson, the ‘bean king’’ of Ventura county, Cal., planted 2,000 acres of beans last year, which produced 1300 carloads of beans, embracing more than 100 varieties. They are sown and culti- vated in the same manner as corn, and are harvested by special machinery, which cuts the vines close to theroots. The vines are then raked into windrows, piled into stacks, and then thrashed hy steam power ma- chines, which are also specially contrived for the bean business. — Alexander DeWitt, who has lived in Poughkeepsie, N.
