Demo Wad Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. f3, 1899. FARM NOTES. —If the shepherd desires to bring his flock to the best condition in winter he must use some succulent feed, such as roots or ensilage, or such feed, as oil meal, bran or clover. In most farming localities few feeds can be raised cheaper than corn and corn fodder. These can be used to good advantage in maintaining a flock, and if the silo is properly filled, will furnish suffi- cient succulent feed. —A farmer may be successful and grow large crops, yet become poorer because the land has lost its fertility. Everything sold from the farm is taken from the land, and the supply must at some time become ex- hausted. Rotation of crops, plowing un- der of green food and the saving of manure will assist in retaining fertility, but never- theless much leaves the farm that is never returned unless the farmer buys something in its place. Fertilizers should therefore be used on every farm in order to keep the farm to its highest degree of fertility. —Considerable labor may be saved by proper construction of grain bins. No work is more disagreeable than that of shoveling grain out of a bin, frequently work being done by getting into the bin when the grain is low. This labor can be saved by attaching a spout to the lower portion of the hin, or the front boards may be movable. The movable boards should be preferred if bins are used for the storage of roots. It is much easier to take roots from bins than from pits in the open air, and by proper packing the roots in the bins can be kept in good condition until spring. —Most farms lack wind breaks or open shelter. A shed facing the south gives abundant fresh air, sunshine and shelter from winds, and is preferable to compelling animals to remain confined in stalls. The use of wire for fencing exposes cattle to the full force of the winds, while old-style fences were partial wind breaks. The same objection applies to wire as fencing for poultry. To remove the difficulty the yard should be surrounded with a thick hedge or a hedge may be grown on the north and west sides. American arbor vitae is excellent for the purpose, and two lines of hedge—one in rear of the other— will greatly assist in protecting against the cold winds. Sheltered animals require less food for support of the body than those that may be exposed, and it will be a sav- ing in the cost of food to provide shelter. An excellent mode is to place corn- stalks on the outside of the fence, suffi- ciently far from it to prevent interference from stock, as cornstalks will provide an effectual wind break. It is also more ad- vantageous to use the stalks for such pur- pose than to permit them to go to waste in the fields after being shocked. —This is the time of the year when many people are exercised as to what course is best to pursue in regard to gathering and caring for their winter apples. It is a question of considerable import- ance to the farmers and fruit growers of our county. The crop of winter apples here is quite considerable and, in view of the fact that there is only about half a crop of winter apples in the United States this year, they are likely to command a fair price and it will be important to our peo- ple to save every available bushel because of its money value. The best time for gathering winter ap- ples depends on circumstances. Some varieties should always be gathered earlier than others, and in some seasons all varieties may need to be gathered earlier and in others later. If apples are left on the trees too long they get too ripe and will not keep well, while if gathered too early they are likely to wilt and to never get their full flavor. Thus it will be seen that each person must to a certain extent use his own judgment in determining the gathering time. We have gathered Rambos as early as the 13th of September and had them keep well until April and still be crisp and juicy. As a rule Rambos, Baldwins, Ewalts, Smokehouse, Bell Flower and Spy should be gathered earlier than Ben Davis, Im- perial Pippin, Newtown Pippin, Rawle’s Janet and such later ripening varieties. Apples growing on a northern slope will not ripen as soon as those having a south- ern exposure and can therefore be left long- er on the trees. As a rule the first named varieties may be gathered as soon as they begin in fall freely after the 15th of Sep- tember, while the last named ones may usually be left until the first of October or even later. All, however, should be gathered before they begin to ripen on the tree. The true winter apple is not intended to ripen on the tree but to continue the process of ripening until late spring in some varieties. From the day an apple is ripe deterioration and decay begin. It is for this reason that we keep them in a cool atmosphere there- by prolonging the period of ripening. A good rule is to begin picking as soon as any particular variety begins to fall freely, but none should be left exposed to a series of heavy frosts, as it will greatly hasten their ripening and cause them to decay early in the season, unless they can be kept in cold storage. Some years all apples can safely be stored in heaps under the trees until they are sold or until there is danger of freezing. Other seasons ap- ples gathered before or even after the first of October will need to be stored in a cool room or cellar, to keep them at a low tem- perature and prevent heavy loss by rotting after being gathered. The character of the weather must determine these matters. In most cases the better plan is to place the apples in heaps under the shade of the trees or covered with straw or other coarse ma- terial until after they have passed the sweating process and then, if the weather is warm, transfer them promptly toa cool cellar. Where special fruit houses with open bins have heen provided they can he taken directly from the trees as fast as gathered with very satisfactory results. Much must always depend upon individual experience and judgment in each special locality. No iron bound rule can be given or taken as a safe guide, but by keeping in mind the foregoing facts almost any one can learn in a few seasons what are the best methods as applied to his own orchard and the variety of fruit he grows. If one grows all Ben Davis, Imperial Pippin or Rawle’s Janet, he can generally let them hang on the trees until October, and the increased size and improved color will generally make up all the loss from falling. In some localities the same rule will hold in regard to Baldwins and kindred varieties, but in most cases it will be found safer and more profitable to gather and store them earlier. The above has been written in response to inquiries from quite a number of persons, and in the hope that it may aid many of our fruit growing friends and patrons in making the most of their apple crops. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. The riding-habit back in all its simplicity is used with a dark gray cloth skirt be- longing to a street costume. The front of the skirt is trimmed with 11 rows of ma- chine stitching applied like the edges of a tunic, which it simulates. The sleeves are close-fitting and set in very high upon the shoulder. Three coachman’s capes are laid over the shoulders, the long ends narrow- ing at the bust line, where they are lost to sight under the front of softly colored em- broidery and lace, which descends in a cascade from throat to the waist. A but- terfly bow of lace isaffixed under the chin. Where the capes meet the waist-coat a knotting of velvet ribbon is applied on each side, and a girdle of the same occurs at the waist. One or two hydranges are stitched to the crown of the street hat of doe-color- ed felt, whichis bound and finished with hatband of black velvet. The newest waists from London are of white cotton corduroy, with three heavy bands of embroidery in a bright color run- ning lengthwise of the bosom. Added to these are shirts of French flannel with the embroidered bands at the back as well as in front, and every band two inches wide. It may be added that a yoke at the back of a shirt waist of pique or flannel is con- sidered out of style. A series of small tucks converging to a close group at the waist line gives the back sufficient rein- forcement, and all the silk and flannel waists for autumn will have small round cuffs, fastened with two small stud buttons instead of links. Miss Margaret B. Barnard has been in- stalled as pastor of the Unitarian church in Chelsea, Mass. The Rev. Samuel A. Eliot. Secretary of the American Unitarian association, preached the installation ser- mon. It is quite unusual to see women without something in their hair, even in the house in the afternoon, and the ribbon bow has obtained the greatest favor during the last few months. These hows are made of satin or velvet ribbon, in colors or in black, and are invariably stiffened with a bit of wire. They are really very smart and becoming, but the ribbon must not be too wide nor the bow too large. In many of the waists shown at the open- ings yokes are still conspicuous. They are both shallow and deep. Some of them have the shoulder capes, but not one of them has that straight low-neck line across the bust and arms that was so observable in the muslin frocks. Shirred chiffon over satin still plays a prominent part in yokes. But a good piece of lace, especially ecru, stitched over white chiffon, and satin is still the most elegant yoke. Do not make arm caps of it, but allow the sleeves to come right in to the shoulder in their con- ventional way. The flatcircular collar put around the lower edge of the yoke in seen on many of the bodices, but the really smart ones which the conservative dress- makers are building up are finished at the lower edge of the yoke by the Eugenie scarf, which I spoke of in one of the week- day letters. This scarf is cut like the bias balf of a handkerchief. The middle point is placed exactly in the middle of the back and gathered slightly there with a small buckle, if desirable. It is drawn around the yoke over the shoulders and to the front, where it is tied either in the middle or to the left side in a loose knot, and over it the two pointed ends hang irregularly over the bust. There is no profession a woman can fol- low that is more in demand or paying bet- ter wages than masseuse. In Philadelphia they are making as much as $100 a week but they work for it. There is no play in or about it. There is encouragement sure- ly to the hesitating sisterhood who have “brawn and brain,’’ who seek to become “wealthy and wise.”” The vista may seem a long one, but it has prosperity marked at every milestone, and as lectures multiply on the subject of physical culture in which the speakers invariably advocate the ad- vantages of massage, it not only promises to be a well-paid profession, but one in constant and increasing demand.’’ Sleeves are still very narrow and close fitting, but in order that they may not ap- pear skimpy in this shape the upper part of them is ornamented with piped pleats, or linen pleats, or with stitched bands cut on the cross, or else covered with embroidery or incrusted with spiral bands of inser- tion. If you would be beautiful developed your muscles and take cognizance of the following : Leg muscles are undeveloped when the gait is a shambling one. If you waddle or wobble you may be sure you need to cultivate a pair of firm, strong limbs as support. They can be secured if you will practice physical culture tactics. Here is an exercise for trial. Place one foot well in advance of the other. On the toes of the rear foot let the weight of the body partially fall. Now for an up and down movement that will bring the knee nearly to the floor. Where is there a strained sensation? There, then,is a muscle that needs strength. Every unused muscle brought into play assures its owner a promise of direct aid in securing a graceful carriage. Flesh about the abdomen and hips dis- appears before the leg movement which has become so well known. Lie straight on the back and lift both legs, with as little effort as possible from other parts of the body, straight toward the ceiling. When perpendicular drop them slowly. Repeat this movement night and morning. A beautifully rounded neck is possible after faithful attention to head gymnastics. First. Head slowly but firmly bent for- ward, no jerkiness, until chin nearly touches the neck. Then slowly raise the head. Repeat a dozen times. Next, head dropped back, then forward. Third time, head bent from side to side. An accumulation of fat about the throat may be dissipated by dropping the head on its trunk and rolling it about on its spinal pivot. Neck muscles so treated give in time a very graceful poise to the head. Beauty scientists declare that proper breathing and head pose will correct doub- le chin. In this case massage is a great factor. Regular movements are imperative. Dropping them at the end of a few days because no results are noted means failure. Great energy one day, utter neglect the next, is an all-round waste of time. Tight shoes disfigure the feet quite as much as tight lacing does the body. A | good deal of the deformity of the modern | woman’s foot is due to narrow, pointed shoes. Not only are such shoes had for the feet, but they indirectly do a good deal of harm to the nervous system, because the scanty room which pointed shoes afford to the toes cause the shoe to press on some of the most delicate nerves of the feet and dis- astrously impede the circulation. Many a troublesome nervous headache may be traced to this cause. Is Mrs. Eyler a Murderess ? Mis. Eyler the matron of the State In- dustrial school at Trenton, is a person who should receive the closest attention of the officers of the law. If what has been al- leged against her be true, she is not only a tyrant who enjoys being cruel, but a mur- deress. The death of Sadie Weisman, as the re- sult of a surgical operation made necessary by injuries inflicted upon herat the school, calls for stern action. In her ante-mortem statement this girl charged Mrs. Eyler anew with conduct that language is not strong enough to characterize. For an in- fraction of the rules in Sunday school the girl, according to her statement, was brutal- ly beaten, knelt upon, sat upon, whipped with a strap, choked, and put in a strait- jacket. Mrs. Eyler, Miss Sykes, a 200- pound assistant, and the male gardener were the participants in these outrages. In addition, the girl was confined in a dungeon for six days and half starved. In its main feature this horrible story has been confirmed by Miss Day, a reputa- ble employee of the school, who resigned rather than be a witness of what went on there. Dr. Rogers, the surgeon who performed the operation which Sadie Weisman could not survive, is thus quoted : The body of the girl showed a condition which might readily have resulted from such ill treatment as she alleged was in- flicted upon her. Severe strait-jacket treat- ment might have produced the kidney trouble. Her condition was certainly due to something out of the ordinary way of living of a young girl. The new board of managers of the in- stitution is to make an investigation. That is well as far as it goes. The State society for the Amelioration of the condition of prisoners is to be asked to take legal ac- tion. That is better. A court room is the proper place to try Mrs. Eyler. And if guilty the law provides no punishment too severe for her. Walked a Thousand Miles With a Frac=- tared Skuli. Fainting with hunger, foot-sore and racked with epileptic convulsions, a ragged haggard-faced outcast entered the little church at Twelfth and Girard avenue Philadelphia, shortly after morning ser- vice Sunday. For a short time he knelt, then as he turned to leave the house of worship fell to the aisle in the throes of a terrible convulsion. Pitying hands picked him up and he was taken by the Twelfth district patrol to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where it was found that he had walked from Montreal to Philadelphia and that his sufferings were caused by a fractured skull, twice trephin- ed. The wanderer’s name is John Lippe. Two years ago he was a lumberman in the forests of Canada. One day there was a log jam and Lippe, running out of them, suddenly slipped. The logs rolled over his head. When he was found ribs on each side were broken, his nose and skull were fractured. Twice a trephining opera- tion was performed on him, but fits of epi- lepsy became more and more frequent. He had no friends in Montreal. His father lives in Jacksonville, N. C. He had no money to take him there. The little store he had accumulated during his work was exhausted when he reached Boston. Then he started to walk to Jacksonville. When he reached Philadelphia he had touched no food for three days. He sought refuge in the church. Then the convul- sions came again and the next thing he found himself between the clean white sheets of a bed at St. Joseph’s hospital. His feet were bleeding from the long jour- ney. For the first time for six long weeks he has found rest. Her Recipe. A lady famed for her skill in cooking was entertaining a number of her friends at tea. Everything on the table was much admired; but the excellence of the sponge- cake was especially the subject of remark. “Oh 1"? exclaimed one of the guests, “it is so beautifully soft and light! Do tell me where you got the recipe ?’’ “I am very glad,” replied the hostess, ‘‘that you find it so soft and light. I made it out of my own head.”’ Typhoid Rampant in Williamsport. Eighteen Cases in One Block and Hospital Adver- tises for More Nurses. WILLIAMSPORT, Oct. 1.—Typhoid fever is epidemic in the west end of this city. The Board of Health reports eighteen cases in one block. In some cases nearly every member’ of a family is down with the dis- ease. A number of deaths have occurred. The Williamsport hospital is filled to overflowing with cases, and the managers have had to advertise for more nurses. To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Victims Expire in Loving Embrace, Stain- ing Festal Board With Their Blood. A terrible triple tragedy was enacted at the farm house of James Cook, nine miles east of Montgomery, Mo., last week in which Frank Walker and his bride of a few hours were assassinated at the conclusion of the nuptial banquet given in their honor and the murderer killed himself near the scene of his crime. About 8 o’clock the wedding guests arose from a banqueting table and began to make preparations for the dance that was to follow the young husband and his wife remaining seated side by side at the head of the table. Suddenly there was a crash of glass, a flash of light and the roar of a gunshot, quickly followed by a second shot. The guests up- on rushing back into the banqueting-room found Mr. and Mrs. Walker dead in their chairs, but clasped in each other’s arms, the young wife having endeavored to shield her husband with her body. Blood flowed in a stream from the head of the bride and bridegroom and filled their coffee cups with blood before they could be removed from the table. A search was at once instituted for the assassin. Out in the shrubbery was found the dead body of Charles Rankin, a reject- ed suitor of the bride. He had blown the top of his head off with a shotgun, pulling the trigger with his toe. Rankin left a note telling of his intention to kill the couple because the woman had jilted him, and asking the Odd Fellows to take charge of his remains. He was buried Wednesday. The young bride and groom were placed side by side in the grave. There is a Class of People. Who are injured by the use of coffee.
