Bemoric Waid, Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 3, 1899. amm——" FARM NOTES. —To distinguish Poland China, Essex and Berkshire hogs, the Essex is entirely black, without even a white spot. The Berkshire has four white feet, a white mark an the forehead and white turf on the tail. The Poland China is not so uniform in markings, strongly resembling the Berk- shire, but white spots may be found on any portion of the body. —The best month for crimson clov- er seeding is August. September is rather late unless the winter does not begin too early. If the land is naturally damp drain it if possible. Wood ashes will give excellent results, as they contain not only potash, but a large por- tion of lime. If not easily obtained use 150 pounds of sulphate of potash per acre. —Mulch does not keep the ground or plants warm. On the contrary, the ground is kept cold ; that is, the covering prevents the ground when frozen from being sudden- ly thawed, the temperature under the mulch being more uniform. It is the hard freezing of the soil, followed by warmer weather, which throws plants upand leaves the roots partly out of the ground. A mulch also retards blossoming and lessens the liability of damage in April and May. —Feeding habits seem to remain as heir- looms handed down to folloy, and some farmers, therefore feed all animals alike without regard to the fact that some will consume much more than others. It has long been estimated that half a bushel of grain a day will supply 50 sheep, in addi- tion to long food, but there is a great dif- ference in the breeds of sheep, and individ- uals also differ. The only way to feed is to closely observe the animals and supply their wants without waste. —The fowls on some farms are required to be self-supporting. They are forced to find shelter in trees or wherever permitted, thus becoming the prey of owls, or if on the ground they are liable to destruction from four-footed enemies. Turkeys often be- come lame by their feet freezing, while breeds of poultry with large combs and wattles also suffer severely. Fowls that are not provided for are not producers of eggs, and the farmer consequently loses the use of their services hy not giving them proper care. As eggs are usually high dur- ing the winter season any expense in the pouitry department should result in a good profit for the investment. —1It is said that some people get wealthy on what other people waste. The Farm, Field and Fireside finds this saying particu- larly applicable to farmers in the matter of fodder saving, and it remarks : Everyone knows that cornstalks are rich in nutrition. They are particularly géod for dairy stock and are profitable for cattle of all kinds and ages and for sheep. But how common a fault it is to let this nutri- tive fodder be wasted. Sometimes itis left too long in the field. The fall rains come on and the lower ends become saturated, heavy, tasteless, valueless. It is worse yet if they be left till too late in the season and the leaves become stripped off by the winds and scattered and many of the stocks trodden into the soil. Of course, the best practice is to put the cornstalks under good shelter in sheds or barns. The next best thing is to stack them. Every farmer knows how to do this with butts outward and the stack so built as to shed the rain. A stake in the middle is a good plan. Careshould be had to have the cornstalks dry and to do the stacking on a dry sunshiny day, and the sooner the stocks are cared for after harvest- ing the corn the better. All these cautions will seem useless to a careful farmer, but many hundreds of our farmers never find time to care for the cornstalks till too late in the fall or even till the snow flies. —For pure cider vinegar no mature ap- ples are considered too poor. In experi- ment work reported by the department of agriculture vinegar making in the ordinary way, by allowing the cider to ferment at will in casks without controlling the sur- rounding conditions, gave results that were far from profitable. By regulating the temperature and adding vinegar mother and cultures of acetic acid ferment fairly good vinegar was secured, but the process was slow and wasteful. By mixing equal parts of fermented cider and old vinegar the process of fermentation was greatly hastened, but the method cannot be fol- lowed without a large stock of old vinegar on hand. Very good results were secured by using a vinegar generator in which the cider passed slowly through a mass of shavings, where it was thoroughly aerated and fer- mentation thus hastened. The generator consisted of a 4 by 8 foot wooden tank filled with beech shavings, provided with holes near the bottom for the admission of air and fitted one foot from top with a wooden disk perforated to allow the en- trance of cider which was distributed even- ly over it by means of a dumper. The vinegar was drawn from the tank by means of a siphon of glass tubing inserted in a hole near the bottom. The temperature of the fermenting cider in the mass of shav- ings was controlled by regulating the sup- ply of air, some of the air holes being shut off when the temperature rose too high and opened when it fell too low. In order to acidify the shavings and start the process of fermentation, the generator was charged with strong vinegar and again and again with vinegar in which some concentrated grape juice was dis- solved. The solution, a mixture of weak vinegar and fermented cider, was then run through the generator at the rate of 20 gal- lons per day (24 hours.) The resulting product was a very good vinegar, ranging from 4.05 to 5.87 per cent. acid. A mix- ture of half vinegar and half fresh cider failed to produce good vinegar without be- ing run through the generator twice. Better results were obtained by allowing the cider to ferment for some time in casks before running it through the generator. The temperature within the generator 2 feet from the bottom ranged from 83 de- grees to 106 degrees. The higher tempera- ture caused a loss of alcohol and lowered the acidity of the product. Temperatures below 90 degrees did not give good results. The optimum is thought to be about 95 de- FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Sleeves are being made with a band of three tucks around the armhole, so as to keep them quite flat, and yet give a little relief to the severe outlines which not every shoulder can do with. A sloping shoulder line is once more the accepted standard of beauty. For this reason, ap- parently, we are in love with fichus, and we are coming to scarfs ; the fichus are made in batiste, in organdie, and in net, and often in flowered muslin, but the scarfs are mostly white. In Paris they are often made in silk, with fringed ends. Here they are generally muslin. We are adopt- ing transparent yokes, collars and collar bands, but the great art is to make them as high and no higher than they are needed. It is a great mistake to have them so that they turn down in the wear. A novel col- lar band emanating from Paris is a stitched plain band of ribbon, passing through a large dull gold buckle at the throat and finished off in a pointed short tab. It looks well for traveling and morning suits. To remove grease spots from woolen fabric place a piece of blotting paper both under and over the portion of the cloth where the grease appears and press several times with a hot iron. Stretch the portion of the material where the grease spot was over a piece of stiff cardboard—or the top of a small wooden box will answer the pur- pose—which has been covered with a clean sheet of blotting paper. Saturate a piece of flannel with rectified benzine and rub the right side of the material, moving the flannel quickly in a circular direction to prevent the grease from spreading. Use plenty of benzine and continue to rub un- til the benzine has evaporated, then re- move the blotting paper and put a cloth in its place. Dip a small brush into boiling water, soap it, and rub the portion of the fabric which was touched by the benzine, then sponge off the soap and rub the mate- rial between cloths until it is nearly dry. Of course, you know that broadcloth and French flannel shirt waists are the trump card this fall. They are certainly pretty, warm and comfortable, so what more do you want, for you’ve got the style. They are made unlined, shirtwaist sleeves, with cuffs, plain backs all in one piece, with a yoke stitched on, and plain fronts, except for three folds turned out, laid at each side of the button band, stitch- ed top and bottom and loose at the bust. They are fastened with gold or silver but- tons nearly as large as your thumb nail, and you wear at the neck a stock. One other thing. The cut of the yoke differs slightly from last summer’s. The bottom is curved higher to make the sides of the yoke narrower and to give a broad shoul- der effect which is *‘the thing.’’ Sometimes the back, instead of being plain, is laid in small box-pleats, and some are made with yokes of the same in front on which are amall embroidered bow-knots or butterflies of polka dots. The new figure is built on the lines of the perfection of the Venus de Milo. You must be one size from the bust to the ab- domen in front. You can imagine the size some women’s waists will be. It is not modish to have a wasp-like waist now- a days, and therefore the wasp-like waist must go, like so many other tabooed things in this world of ours. The new female figure is straight in front, curving at the sides over the hips. Now the question comes in, how are you going to make a figure straight which has been curving ever since corsets were worn ? The conundrum is solved in this fashion. Some women who carve in very much wear pads over the stomach, making themselves solid from the bust to the abdomen, taking away any semblance of acurve in front, and resembling more than anything else pie- tures of fashion plates in Queen Elizabeth’s time, only, as usual, presenting a great im- provement over the original. The new, straight front corsets, in order to obtain the propershape, have done away with short, bust gore, everything being straight in front and long over the abdo- men. From a hygienic standpoint, this must certainly be more healthful than cor- sets made to compress the stomach and pro- duce the curve which has now gone out of fashion. For slender figures the same lines are carried out, but the corset is made shorter on the hips. Even the little empire corsets which are shown for young girls, have the the straight fronts. Of course, all the shops carry a stock of corsets built on the old time lines, but these are generally of a cheaper grade. All the expensive, well- made corsets are fashioned on the new model. Grayness of the hair results from con- traction of the vessels, which keeps out the | coloring matter and allows the colorless tube to show itself. The causes are varied, a severe cold, grief, anxiety or excessive de- posits of lime in the tubes, which is the cause of the grayness of old age. There is a very excellent preparation for counter- feiting the lime deposit, made principally of lime or lemon juice and glycer- ine. To half a pint of the acid add a quarter of a pint of rose water and six tablespoonfuls of rectified spirits shaken in it. After twenty-four hours strain through muslin, add two and one-half ounces of glycerine and half a drachm of lemon or cedras and shake well. It will be frag- rant and milky. Blond hair can be saved from grayness by treating it each night with the yolk of an egg, beaten up with glycerine. The head must be covered afterwards to prevent soiling the pillows, and must be washed in the morning to take away the stickiness. Dark hair should be treated with walnut juice combed into the hair. A frequent use of sage tea, made by steeping for half an hour a small package of pressed sage leaves in a quart of water, and when strained adding two tablespoonfuls of alco- hol, will keep the hair dark and strength- en it. Falling hair can be stopped by washing the scalp with warm water and the yolk of an egg, thoroughly rinsing it and applying night and morning a spoonful of this mix- ture : Pure glycerine, three drachms, and lime water, four ounces, rubbing it into the roots of the hair with a brush. About ten days later put a half ounce of tincture of cantharides into the bottle and use it as before. I have known beautiful results from this treatment in three weeks’ time. Castoria.
