emoreau Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 4, 1899. FARM NOTES. AMONG THE POULTRY.— You cannot clean the coop too often. Young chickens should be protected from the sun. Young cockrels often permanently disfig- ure themselves by fighting. Fresh earth for scratching and dusting is indispensable. Pekin ducks can be raised with only suf- ficient water for drinking. A hen paysin proportion to the eggs she lays. In shipping poultry now be careful not to crowd the coop. . It is always best to darken the place se- lected for a nest. White Leghorns are the best of layers, they are small in size. Put coal oil on the roosts and air slacked lime about the building. Fowls that fatten easily should have plenty of opportunity to exercise. Too much stimulating food often causes over egg production. As soon as the young turkeys get strong enough give them free range. Hens will readily eat parings or any kind of vegetables if they are well cooked. Chickens once stunted seldom regain their vigor,even with the most careful breed- ing. An over-fat hen will not lay at all or her eggs will be worthless for hatching. Raise thoroughbred chickens. They cost no more in the long and fry much better. If corn meal must be fed bake it with bread and crumble it in sweet milk. Feed sulphur sparingly as it will cause rheumatism or leg weakness. Keep the dust bath always ready. Use dry earth, or sifted ashes, adding a little lime. If the most prolific hens are retained and the worthless ones marketed a decided im- provement will soon result. Young and old fowls require sufficient nutritious food to keep them in a thrifty growing condition. The profit in raising turkeys comes from their ability to pick up a good living for themselves most of the time. Ducklings and chickens should not be kept together. The ducks will run over the chickens without compunction. While ground clam or oyster shells are excellent for layers, the chicks need ground bone, and they should have a supply daily. So long as young chicks are doing well under your system of feeding, it is not nec- essary to bother about any other system. Charred corn on the cob is one of the best ways to feed charcoal to fowls. Nothing is better for bowel trouble. The hen that is always scratching, except when on the roost or nest is usually a good layer. The perfect and rapid development of chicks depend very much upon the start they get. Keep them free from vermin and feed them liberally. On the farm where the hens have a free range they save much material that would otherwise he wasted. It is not the iarge hen that lays the large egg always. As soon as the hatching season is over all of the cocks not needed for breeding should be marketed, as they are only an expense. Bramahs, Cochins, Plymouth Rocks and Langshans are easily fattened, especially if fed on corn. It is a good plan whenever a hen comes off with a brood of chicks to grease her breast and under her wings for lice, or her chicks will suffer. For ducklings a mush made by mixing cornmeal and bran with milk is one of the best rations that can be supplied. Never feed ducks raw cornmeal. Ducklings, if exposed to wet weather or even wet ground, are apt to take cramp in their legs, and this in many cases proves fatal. Keep them dry. The earliest maturing fowl of the large breeds is the Langshan, which usually be- gins to lay when seven months old. They make good winter layers. A good way to prevent fowls from flying over the fence is to stretch a wire along the top, the wire being on the outside about six inches from the top and parallel with the top. In dressing capons for the market it is al- ways best to leave the feathers on the head, tail and first joint of the wing, as evidence that they are what they are claimed to be. —XKeep salt constantly in a water-tight box in the barnyard to insure the best con- dition of the stock. Leave this box out under the open sky and note the pleasure with which the cattle drink up the salty water on rainy days.—Farm Journal. —The farmers of the county will be in- terested in the disturbance that the dis- missal of Miss May Rhone, a daughter of Hon. Leonard Rhone, past master of Pomo- na Grange, from her position as a steno- grapher in the Department of Agriculture at Harrisburg, has caused. The farmers of the State are reported to be so wrought up over it that they are making an effort to have John Hamilton removed as Secretary of Agriculture. —The time to start a lawn is in August. Make the ground fine in July and let it have an opportunity to start the weeds. Then work it fine againin August; use wood ashes and rake the soil fine. Sow the lawn grass seed and the rains will cover it. Prepared lawn grass seed can be had of seedmen, and it contains several varieties, but one of the hest grasses for a lawn is Kentucky blue grass. The grass will make considerable growth before winter and be- come well established. Do not mow it in the spring until it is at least three inches high, and do not cut it too close. —Many methods are given for preventing hens from setting after they become broody , and many suggestions entail labor or lead to cruelty. The surest, best and earliest mode is to prevent the hen from imparting warmth to anything, for she will sit on a porcelain egg and attempt to keep it warm. When the hen finds that she can create no heat with her body she will desist from sit- ting. Make a small coop, with lath or strips, and have the floor of lath also, the coop to be raised a few inches from the ground. Theair under the hen being cool, due to the open space between the lath, will soon cause her to become disgusted and as she finds that she cannot impart heat she abandons the attempt. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Among a number of dressy afternoon gowns is an original one in Parma violet foulard with white polka dots. The skirt swirling out at the bottom is tight and smooth as a riding habit across the back. It is open in front toward one side in a pe- culiar way. At intervals the edges are drawn together and caught with rabbits’ ears bows of violet taffeta. Between the bows the skirt spreads open in long narrow loops, showing beneath them a narrow pan- el of lace. The bottom of the skirt is fin- ished with a circular flounce flatly headed under narrow cream lace entredeux in the form of festoons. The corsage is eut out in heart shape at the top of the back over a lace yoke. In front the silk is slightly bloused into the belt and rounded out at the top over a fitted lace vest front that is discerni- ble all the way down to the waist line un- der the semi-open front that, like the front of the skirt, is simply looped together with rabbits’ ears of violet taffeta. Violet taffe- ta lines the lace throughout and a lace and taffeta collar finishes the neck. The sleeves of foulard are untrimmed save for a row of tucks close together across the top and bias folds of the same over the hand. A refined nature abhors nagging. Any- thing for peace cries the woman of sensitive soul. She shrinks from household battles, allowing herself to he imposed upon rather than wage them. Effective proofs are never injudicially given. Stopping to think when a gust of anger sweeps over the soul is a blessed thing. Five minutes’ of hard thinking will often turn the whole tenor of one’s feelings into the right channel. Nasty nagging keeps children in a state of perpetual defense. This defensive atti- tude is continued throughout life, the girl or boy suffering from such discipline going out into the great world an outcast. Grandmother used to say ‘‘a thoughtless retort was the devil’s own means of stirring up strife.” One of the most ruinous of all scolding practices is hauling up people for reproof before others. Children so reproved rarely outgrow the intense indignation it creates within their souls. Husbands and wives with quick tempers scold before friends and strangers alike. If they could but realize the disgrace of such an exhibition! Children are permitted to hit at each other right and left with ugly remarks. The result is much the same as if they slapped water in each other’s faces. If there were no other reason for women refusing to scold, the impress left upon the features would be sufficient warning. A woman lines quickly who scolds. She becomes crone-like. There is a tartness of visage which tells a tale those who run may read. Scold like a philosopher. Nine times out of ten thescolding we deem a necessity may be avoided. A gentle thought supplanting a ruffled one, a gentle word given in place of a caustic reply turns the scale and al- ways in favor of the person inclined to ‘“‘speak her mind.”’ No one is punished so surely for this awful habit as the woman who scolds. I see endless pink waists with white serge skirts and pink hats, says the Paris letter of ““‘Harper’s Bazar’’ and quite the pretti- est things that are worn with serge skirts are blouses of white sheeny silk covered with bouquets of flowers in dull colors. Also, I like the China silk blouses, tucked across in narrow tucks, about one inch apart, both body and sleeves and worn with tortoise-shell, coral, amethyst or‘emerald studs and sleeve buttons, cuffs of the silk and linen stock collar. A pretty fancy in bats with these is the sailor worn very far over the face, and trimmed with a black velvet band, and a tuft of blue violets stand- ing straight up in front on the left side. Black skirts are not in it this summer. If one desires to be stylishly gowned for the street one should be attired in a gray skirt’ and white shirt-waist. The gray skirt, of course, must be proper as to material and cut, and the shirt-waist with very small sleeves and scant fullness anywhere. If there is one woman more than another who has good horse sense it is the level- headed lady who refuses to follow the pro- cession of crazy femininity that does war- dances and yells calliope screeches at the arrival of every new fashion-fad. I havein mind the fashionableskirt of one seam that fits as snugly as the paint on a new house. They may be very ‘‘swagger’’—these skirts of limited dimensions—but they certainly are far from being graceful and pretty. In fact, some of them are more than shocking, especially when on the womar of ample proportions. The thin girl don’t wear them because Old Lady Nature has not been kind to them in the way of hips and pretty curves. I doubt very much if the skimpy, plaitless skirt will last long. A fashion letter from Paris says that they are no long- er worn in that place of beautiful gowns and heavenly bonnets, and the skirts are now made properly full in the back. White revers give chic to many of the jackets seen at the summer resorts. If the jacket is of a woolen fabric then the revers are of white cloth; if a wash material, pique is used for the revers. A Parisian fancy of the moment has white velvet facings on the revers of jackets that do not form a part of the costume. Bottle green, hussar blue or crimson jackets of cloth, with plain white cloth revers, are stylish in the extreme. A frieze with which an artist is decorat- ing the square entrance hall of his suburb- an home is original and interesting. He is doing the work with his own hands in leisure moments, and the studies are all taken from nature. The ceiling of the hall is crossed with heavy beams, and the wall itself is in rough plaster, faintly tinged with buff. On this surface and hetween the beams the artist has sketched groups of wild flowers which he has found near the house. He selected the bolder forms, which would show to advantage at a distance, and as he is pre-eminently a realist, he has pre- served a suggestion of their natural habit of growth. The flowers are done in their own colors, softened into grayish tones, so that the effect is as if you were looking at them through a light, pearly mist—of to- bacco smoke someone was unkind enough to add. In the history of buckles there has never been a time when small ones were so fash- ionable. They are made to match the very narrow girdles and the skirt band is to-day nothing but a mere binding in order that the smallest of buckles may cover it. There is no choice between the conventional buckle and the clasp. Many people buy the clasps because they are new, buta number of women cling to the old round buckle, seeing to it that it is very small. Nearly Two Million Life Policies of In- surance in the State. These Aggregate in Value $760,706,566, of Which $114,024,725 is Held by Pennsylvania Companies— $1,959.169.01 Given in Paymeut for Accidental In- Juries. HARRISBURG, July 30.—Insurance Com- missioner Israel W. Durham has sent to state printer Ray part second of his forth- coming annual report covering the business of the life and accident companies. During the year of 1898 the companies of this State issued 6059 policies, insuring $17,360,043.00 upon the lives of residents of this State, a decrease over the business of the preceding year of 385 policies and a de- crease of $694,338.00 insurance. Companies of other States issued 459,717 policies in this State, insuring $141,177,- 458.00, making an aggregate by all compa- nies of 465,776 policies, insuring $158,537, 501.00, being a decrease of 36,890 policies and an increase of $1,568,034.00 insurance. The total losses paid by all life companies in the State during the year 1898 was $9,- 940, 377.46, of which home companies paid $1,208,263.18, and companies of other States $8,732,114.28. The insurance in force at the end of the vear 1898 upon lives of residents of Penn- sylvania, including industrial policies of small amounts, aggregated 1,768,091 poli- cies, insuring $760,706,565.00, of which 42,461 policies, insuring §114,020,725.00, were in companies of this State and 1,725,- 630 policies, insuring $646,681,840.00, in companies of other States. The entire expenditures of Pennsylvania companies in 1898 were $9,879,465.53, of which $7,181,353.04 was paid to policy holders. The entire income of assessment life com- panies of this State for the year ending De- cember 31st, 1898, was $1,924,445.00. The expenditures were $1,610,317.84, of which $929,187.15 was used in the payment of death losses and returned to members, and $681,130.69 to the general expense of man- agement. The total number of members at the beginning of the year in companies of this State was 33,159, and at its close 34,- 610. The assessment life companies of other States licensed to do business in this State and reporting to the department show in 1898 total income of $23,576,645.04, and expenditures amounting to $22,473,156.58. Of the expenditures $16,712,074.57 went to payment of death losses and returned to members, and $5,761,082.01 to the general expenses of management. The assessment accident companies re- porting to the department show in 1898 a total income of $2,231,240.80,and expendit- ure amounting to $1,959,169.07. Sample Testimony. One of the witnesses examined by the board of inquiry in New York recently was an Irishman who had gone through the Santiago campaign as a private in one of the Eastern regiments, says an exchange. “Did you eat any of the canned roast heef?’’ asked the recorder. ‘Yes. Oi ate a little uv it.” “Did you have any fault to find with it?” ‘Oi did thot ”’ ‘What was your objection to the meat?’’ “Moi objiction, sor, was that wan can av ut wuz expected t’ make a male for foive min, wh’n there wasn’t more’n enough for wan, hedad.”’ ROBBED THE GRAVE—A startling inci- 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 tomy 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. Stopping the Advertisements. A steady run of satisfactory results from the right sort of newspaper advertising sometimes leads the advertiser into a be- lief that the impulse thus given to his trade will continue without further use of that method of securing publicity. Thus de- cided, his advertisements are withdrawn, and he waits for the usual comforting re- turns from his sales; but invariably the sales decrease. The purchasing public, no longer seeing his customary advertisements, promptly forget him and buy elsewhere. There is a homely Creole proverb much in vogue in Louisiana which fits this mer- chant’s case: ‘‘“When you have a laying hen, don’t put her in the pot.” He Was There. She sighed, as girls will sometimes, and then said: ‘There are moments when I feel as if I would hesitate even if the best man in the world asked me to marry him.” ‘‘Olivia’”’ he cried. ‘‘you must be a mind reader. I was just thinking of ask- ing you to be mine.”’ Four seconds later she reluctantly prom- ised that she would name an early day. ——VWilliam Sodds, the greatest cattle owner in the United States, attends to all the details of his work intrusting as little as possible to the care of subordinates, al- though he could well afford to retire from the active management of the business. “If I want to be sure a thing is well done I just do it myself,”” he says. Twice a year he accompanies his shipment of cattle from Northern Arizona into Kansas City. Paper Mill Deal. The Morris & Cass paper mill at Tyrone, has been consolidated with the mills of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper company, of Delaware. The new organization, re- cently incorporated, has a capital of $3,- 000,000, and will operate a pulp mill and three pulp and paper mills. How He Managed Her. “How is it that your wife is so tracta- ble?”’ “Why, I told her when we were married that she could do just exactly as she pleas- ed, and so, of course, she finds no pleasure in doing it.” BUCKLEN’S ARNICA SALVE.—The best salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chap- ped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and positively cures piles, or no pay required.

Potts Green. ——A Buffalo woman who applied for a divorce testified that she had been compell- ed to move forty times in five years. The judge decided that this, strictly speaking, is not a proper way to provide a home. ——*“When a man pays attention to a woman,’’ says a Philosopher, ‘‘its general- ly a sign that he wants to marry her, and when he doesn’t pay attention to her its of ten a sign that he has married her.”’ ——*“Necessity knows no law.’”’ Itis a law of Nature that the blood must be kept pure, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla does it. ——A Geneva, N. Y., man just returned from the anthracite mining districts in this State says he never saw such a squalid mis- ery as is presented there. The miners are working on half time so as to not increase the output, and the children are barefoot and in rags. Yet there is said to be coal enough in sight to last a thousand years. For poor people the coal trust is the hard- est combination we have had to deal with, and if some legal or moral way cannot be found to open the mines and bring the prices down to reasonable figures there will be heaps of suffering next winter. The Poor Teeth oi the Young. A rapid tendency to decay, hitherto un- known in extent, is taking place in teeth of the children and youth of the present generation. That the disease is assuming alarming proportions is painfully evident. A few years ago a school committee was appointed by the British Dental association to acquire more knowledge of the condi- tion of children’s teeth at various ages. Of the children of a large number of parochial, industrial and other schools, over 10,000 mouths were examined, and the condition of each tooth was marked on a chart. Less than 15 per cent. of such boys and girls of an average age of 12 years did not require some treatment for decayed teeth. The very large majority therefore, of over 85 per cent. demanded skilled attention.— Nineteenth Century Review. What Do the Children Drink ? Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It is de- licious and nourishing and takes the place of cof- fee. The more GRAIN-O you give the children the more health you distribute through their sys- tems. GRAIN-O is made of pure grains, and when properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of coffee but costs about 1{ as much. All grocers sell it. 15c. and 25c. 43-50-17 Castoria.
