FARM NOTES.
—Corn should be fed with judgment.
Old corn is hetter than new and there is a
loss in the crib while waiting for prices to
go up, as corn dries some the older it gets.
Corn that is smutty or moldy should not
be put in the crib, as it is injurious to all
kinds of stock, producing a disease styled
by some ‘‘stomach staggers.’
—The main leak on the farm is the ditch
around the barnyard, which permits the
rich, black liquid to flow away, for with if
goes the wealth on the farm and the most
valuable portions of the manure. It
should be absorbed with some kind of ma-
terial, and to prevent leaching of the ma-
nure it should be kept under cover.
—~Secalding the milk pails will not cleanse
them, as hot water causes portions of the
milk to curdle. First, wash the vessels
with luke warm water, dissolving a tea-
spoonful of carbonate of soda (washing
soda) in every quart of water used. Scrub
well and rinse with clean cold water and
then scald, using more carbonate of soda in
the boiling water, then rinsing with clean
cold water.
—1If the ground remains warm make a
bed on the south side of a building, use
plenty of manure and sow lettuce seed.
When the plants come up cover the bed
with coarse litter and leave it until spring.
If sown in a cold frame it will be better.
Lettuce is hardy and stands considerable
frost. If the seed is sown late it will come
up very eariy in the spring. The young
plants may be transplanted to other cold
frames if desired.
—The corn fodder that is left in the
fields is sure to be wasted. It should be
stored under shelter, an open shed being
excellent. The corn crop would not be so
valuable but for its abundant yield of fod-
der, and farmers who leave the corn shocks
in the fields to be injured by rain, snow
wind and frost have not yet arrived at the
stage of progress reached by those who
make every pound of provender grown on
their farms serve some useful purpose.
—The best time to treat the lawns so as
to secure good growth next spring is at this
season of the year. It will pay to use
wood ashes liberally, and an application of
manure will also be excellent. Early in
the spring rake the lawn over so as to clean
it of the manure litter, and apply nitrate
of soda—at the rate of 50 pounds per acre
—and do not mow the grass too soon. In
fact, it will be an advantage to cut the first
growth with a scythe, but the grass should
not be allowed to produce seed.
—It issometimes an advantage to plow
the ground and spread the manure in the
fall, but the kind of land and circamstances
of local nature must be considered. If the
manure is thoroughly worked into the soil
with the harrow there will be but little
risk of loss of thesoluble matter. Manure,
as a rule, is mostly solid material, and the
frosts and moisture will assist in disinte-
grating it. There will also be a saving of
time in the spreading of the manure, as
less work will be required during the busy
season.
—1It is claimed that if the roots of hya-
cinths and tulips are left in the beds where
they bloomed and the stalks cut after
blooming they will bloom annually, pro-
vided the bed is well protected in winter.
A shovelful of well-rotted manure over
each stalk, with straw or some other cover-
ing over the manure, will serve as a pro-
tection. When tulips or hyacinths are
grown in glasses the flowers and stems are
produced at the expense of the bulbs, but
when grown in rich soil the exhaustion
does not occur.
—There are many ways of keeping pork,
and smoking the meat may be done more
easily the smaller the pieces. For 100
pounds of meat use a pickle made as fol-
lows : Salt, six pounds; saltpetre, four
ounces ; brown sugar, one pound. Mix
the ingredients with enough water to make
a strong brine ; keep the meat in the brine
six weeks (being careful to have every
piece covered with the brine,) and then
smoke the meat. The meat may then be
sewed in cotton bags, which may be
painted with thick lime water.
—Milk is variable. Not only will it be
difficult to find two cows in a herd that
yield milk of the same quality, but tbat
from one cow will vary daily. The milk
from some cows will contain a lower per-
centage of solids than that from others, and
t o attempt to fix the proportion of solids
by law will be to cause much annoyance to
the farmers. A cow that produces milk
containing less than 12 per cent. of solids,
however, should be disposed of. The food,
duration of milking period, facilities for ob-
taining water, manner in which she is
milked and condition influence the qual-
ity.
—All plants that are put out in the fall,
such as blackberries, raspberries, etc.,
should be cut back to within six inches of
the roots. Cones that are left on will be
of no advantage next season. Open a drain
in the middle of the row with a one-horse
plow, so as to draw the water from the
vines and to permit the surplus to flow off,
and it will pay to use manure around the
young plants, leaving it on the surface un-
til spring, when it should be worked in
with a cultivator,the working of the ground
being not difficult if the plants are checked
in the rows.
—Farm help is always in demand, but
those who have had no experience on a
farm will be of little use. Every one can-
not milk cows or handle the plow, cut
wood, ete., and when a farmer is busy he
has no time to teach a beginner. Those
who advise the laborersin the cities to seek
work in the country know very little of
what is required of a hired man on a farm.
He is sometimes more than an ordinary
laborer, as he must not only be able to
work at all seasons, and at times from sun-
rise to sunset, but he must know how to do
certain kinds of work at the proper time
and in a thorough manner. There are
many farm hands, however, who could
easily get higher wages if they would use
their brains more. The farmer likes a
man that must not be told what to do, one
who knows what is required as well as the
farmer and does it. The farm band who
comes to the employer every now and then
to know ‘‘what next,’’ or who must he in-
structed every day as to the work he is to
do, is a nuisance to the employer, as it
takes more of the farmer’s time to look
after such a man than to do the work. It is
cheaper to do a thing sometimes than to
lose the time informing some one how to do
it. A farm hand who desires good wages
and permanent work should make himself
indispensable and not bother his employer
about matters that can be attended to with
out advice from anyone.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Ot all the enemies to beauty worry is the
most deadly. And, after all, it is largely
habit. When one stops to figure the
amount of energy spent in worry and to
compare with it the amount of good that it
has accomplished the result is depress-
ing. ;
One reason that many women become
sere and yellow through worry is not be-
cause their mental troubles are so great,
but because their livers are out of order.
Worry and the blues are twin sisters.
Their aims are bad and they usually hit all
over the face of the victim to the ruin of its
beauty.
No woman should expect true friendship
when she is incompetent to give such
friendship to others.
Mrs. Leland Standford’s gifts to ednca-
tional institutions on the Pacific coast foot
up $19,000,000. She has as much left,
which at her death will go for similar pur-
poses.
No matter what society papers and jour-
pals may illustrate as fashionable in the
matter of long skirts on tailor gowns, the
fact remains that at all high-class tailors’
and tailors’ modistes’ and also at the im-
porting houses official word is given that
the newest, smartest models in cloth,
cheviot, covert suitings and similar hand-
somely tailor fabrics will be made to merely
touch but not sweep the ground on the
sides, and only with a small ‘‘dip,’’ which
when necessary, can be lifted. There will
be no useless, untidy demi-train to become
ruined by contact with the pavement.
This most desirable style will please the
great majority of women who dress hand-
some but are not wealthy enough to dis-
card an expensive gown the moment it
shows the least sign of wear.
Habit backs in skirts are decidedly going
out of style. This is a prophecy for the
next three months rather than the condi-
tion of to-day. The best tailors and dress-
makers are putting box pleats in the back,
or five single half-box pleats in the back,
or five single half-inch pleats stitched down
on either side.
In making French flannel shirt waists, the
shoulder seams are on the usual line. They
are not brought over the chest to form a
yoke.
With a light-blue and white waist, wear
a high stock collar of pale blue velveteen,
or liberty satin, with a white turn-over
muslin collar. A band of black velvet ab
the bottom, tied in a little flat bow, with a
silver or gilt button on each end, would be
a good finishing touch.
No more ‘‘swell’”’ or becoming kind of
hair ornament could be worn with a black
jetted or spangled evening dress than a
bunch of spangled poppies of a beautiful
rich dark red shade. They are the very
newest kind of headdress, and are most be-
coming.
Silk and velvet flowers are to be worn in
the bair this winter. But to be thorough-
ly in style they must be large single flowers,
or never more than two. Bunches of
small flowers with towering aigrettes
stuck in the centre have entirely gone out
of date. A beautiful hair decoration is
one large single orchid of the different
shades of violet, worn at the left side rather
flat against the head. Small black velvet
hows are often worn in the hair with sim-
ple costumes in the house.
Quite an attractive hair ornament, to be
worn with light evening dresses principally,
is the maidenhair fern, in velvet or silk, in
a beautiful shade of green. This comes in
small bunches arranged on a long hairpin,
and is worn stuck in at the left side, with
a branch or two of the delicate leaves
laid against the hair towards the back.
This style is particularly pretty when the
hair is arranged in a few puffs in the back
and the leaves placed in and out of them.
Shaded and dark green leaves have been
much worn in Paris, but the ferns are new-
er and more effective. One pretty head-
dress is composed of two rather stiff dark
green leaves stuck in the hair at the side,
and standing up a little, but not too high.
The great advantage of these ornaments is
that they can be worn with gowns of any
color, and are effective and becoming.
Do not put a yoke in the back or front of
your shirtwaist, for a yoke always cuts off
a short-waisted person. especially if the
waist is not small.
Make your flannel shirt waist in the new
mode, which depends on its cut and its
style rather than its trimming. Get a
good pattern. A flannel shirtwaist is either
a mistake or a beauty. The pattern should
have a good long sweep from heck to girdle
and snug-fitting under-arm pieces. The
back should he fit without the slightest
wrinkle at shoulder or throat. With your
figure the shirt should be dropped in the
front and the girdle brought to the lowest
point of your waist.
Put the fronts into the shoulder seams
with little fulness and into the throat
with three single box pleats on each side of
the opening. Bring these box pleats in a
straight line down the waist, and do not
allow for much of a sag.
If you put a belt on the waist you must
put it fully two inches lower in the front
than in the back and fasten it to the corset
with a safety-pin. This gives you the
long, straight line in the front aided by
the box pleats, which is so fashionable and
which is so much desired.
To make peanut crisps beat the whites of
five eggs until very stiff, add to them two
cups of powdered sugar, a quarter of a cup
of sifted flour, and a cup of finely minced
roasted peanuts. Line a baking pan with
greased paper and drop the mixture by the
spoonful upon it. Bake in a moderate
oven. These crisp meringues are delicious
with vanilla ice cream.
Tyiog a bit of narrow black ribbon close
about the topmost edge of the high stock
is still the fad of high favor.
Not more than a half an inch in width,
and preferably narrower than that, must
be the ribbon. Snugly must it cling to
the rim of the collar and very precise must
be the flat little bow with which it ends at
the back. What is it therefore, anyway?
It has no relation to any other part of
the costume. The rest of the collar may
be a flyaway film of lace or chiffon, or a
prim little band of satin, but the narrower
black velvet ribbon must skirt its upper
edge.
Is it subtle woman’s trick to accentuate
the whiteness of her skin by contact with
inky velvet?
Enough that it suits my lady’s pleasure
for the moment. And that puff-ball of
tulle. There it is, as white as the snow-
drift and looking not unlike a big chrysan-
themum stuck on the back of the stock. It
isn’t any more to match the foundation
stock than the velvet circlet, but it is just
as popular.
Piles of Pearls.
Gigantic Effort to Smuggle Goods Uncovered.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Francis Bock, a
jewelry manufacturer and dealer in precious
stones, of Providence, R. I., was arraigned
before United States Commissioner Shields
this morning and held in $5,000 bail for
examination to-morrow morning upon a
charge of smuggling 10,000 pearls into this
country. Bock was arrested by special
treasury agent Theobald and custom in-
spector Cloyes upon the arrival of the
steamship La Bretagne yesterday from
Havre.
In several of his pockets were found
packages of pearls. In his trunk three
pairs of shoes were discovered, fastened to-
gether heel and toe, wound about with
string, and finally wrapped in paper.
They had been worn, and at first appear-
ance looked like pairs of shoes which had
been tied tightly and wrapped in paper in
order to occupy as little space as possible
and to prevent them from soiling the cloth-
ing in the trunk. When the wrappings
and strings were removed from the first
pair of shoes a few packages fell out, which
upon being opened were found to contain
pearls.
The shoes were packed full of the pearls.
The officers proceeded with their work of
investigation, and the pile of pearls grew
in size until it was estimated that 10,000
of the stones had been discovered, valued
at about $50,000. The investsgation of the
trunk took place first, and after 30 packages
of pearls had been recovered, attention was
turned to the traveler.
Bock was dressed in a shaped-paddock
coat, and it was searched. Several pock-
ets were found to be fastened at the top by
safety pins, and upon searching these more
packages of pearls were discovered. From
the overcoat the officers turned their atten-
tion to the waistcoat, coat and trousers of
Bock. In nearly every pocket at least one
package of the pearls was found, and when
the search had taken in his hat and shoes,
it was found that in all 40 packages had
been recovered. They were taken to the
appraiser’s office, and their value has not
been determined. Mr. Theobald said that
there were pearls enough to stock a jewelry
store.
Bock does not speak English. He said
he was born in Austria and had gone from
Trieste to Paris. Special agent Theobald
has learned of a trip that Bock made from
Paris to this country last May and regrets
that Bock’s baggage was not searched that
time.
Proposals for Dredging Channel Re-
ceived.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.—Proposals
were to-day received by Lieutenant Colonel
C. W. Raymond, United States engineer,
for dredging the Delaware river channel to
a depth of thirty feet. The bidders were
the Virginia Dredging company, of Rich-
mond, Va.; the Morris & Cummings
Dredging company, of New York, and the
American Dredging company, of this city.
The bids are all within the amount avail-
able for the commencement of the work,
$500,000. The estimated cost of the com-
pletion of the project is between $5,000,000
and $6,000,000. Application will be made
to Congress from time to time for appro-
priations. The contract will not be
awarded for several days.
Ninety Boers Killed,
Official Returns of the Transvaal Casualties Since
the War Began.
PRETORIA, Tuesday, Nov. 21.—The of-
ficial returns of the Transvaal casualties
since the outbreak of the war show that
ninety men have been killed and 200
wounded of whom a number have recover-
ed and returned to the front. Newspaper
reports from Cape Colony say that a gener-
al rising of the Dutch farmers is imminent
in Natal, and that the colonial Boers in
those districts which have been proclaimed
republican territory have already joined the
Boer forces.
New Words for Old Things.
The young woman whose vocabulary is
mostly adverbs and adjectives—we all met
her, or her sister—was with an excursion
party on the Potomac river. The Wash-
ington Post treasures a fragment of her con-
versation :
“This is Alexandria we're coming to
now,’’ said Margaret. ‘‘You must go over
there before you go away.’”’
“What is there to see?”
young man.
‘‘Oh,’’ said Margaret, ‘‘there’s an old
graveyard there—the funniest old place
you ever saw, with just a lot of the cutest
old gravestones in it. It’s just perfectly
grand !”’
asked the
——He stood before St. Peter and meek-
ly applied for admission to the better land.
“Cannot admit you, sir.’ ‘‘Can’t admit
me !”” exclaimed the dismayed aspirant,
‘‘Haven’t I lived a christian life?’ ‘‘Yes,
in the main.”” ‘“‘Haven’t I obeved the laws
of the land ?”’ ‘‘Oh, yes.” “What then
has been my offense ?’’ ‘‘You wanted to
stop your newspaper and instead of drop-
ping a line to the publisher and paying ar-
rearages, you had the postmaster send a
message tothe effect that his paper was re-
fused. A man so contemptible would find
no company in heaven; so please move on
to the land where they don’t shovel any
snow.’
PAID DEAR FOR His LEG.—B. D. Blan-
ton of Thackerville, Tex., in two years
paid over $300.00 to doctors to cure a run-
ning sore on his leg. Then they wanted
to cut it off, but he cured it with one box
of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. Guaranteed
cure for piles. 25cts. a box. Sold by F.
Potts Green druggist.
——Several sportsmen met in the pro-
thonotary’s office in Clearfield some days
ago and after counting up the number of
pheasants killed by them this year it was
found that the cost of each was $7.84.
