Diemorraic atc Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 23, 1900. FARM NOTES. —There is no necessity for buying ex- pensive carbolic acid to be used as an in- seeticide. The ordinary crude carbolic acid is not only cheaper but much better than the refined for the purposes of the firmer. It will, like kerosene, easily enulsify with a solution of hard soap, and itrenders the kerosene emulsion more ser- viteable when used in that connection. —To make the early lambs grow provide a pw into which the lambs can go, but which restrains the ewes from entering. In the pen place a pan of ground oats and let the lambs help themselves. The ewes should be well fed on ground oats and a full sapply of clover hay also, in order to provide plenty of milk. The ground oats shoul¢ be considered only as an additional supplyto the milk, as milk will give better results than any other food. — Wien warm weather begins the supply of eggs will increase. The corn should then be decreased and a larger supply of meat or animal meat allowed, or the hens will become excessively fat and fail to give their full quota of eggs. Corn is the best food during the cold season because if creates animal heat, and serves as a pro- tection against severe cold, but corn is very unsuitable during warm weather. Grass is also excellent for fowls, and they should, therefore, begiven a free range as soon as conditions permit. —Families that keep only one cow should have only the best to be procured. More labor is required to care for a single cow, proportionally, than for a herd. The cow for the family should give a large flow of milk for at least ten months in the year, and the milk should not contain less than four per cent. of butter fat, as cream is one of the essentials. It is better to have a cow that gives even richer milk, but the majority of family cows are selected without regard to merit in this respect. It is difficult to raise the calves in such cases, hence in purchasing a family cow it will be profitable to pay a high price for a superior animal. —The time has passed when the swill barrel is considered a necessary adjunct to the keeping of pigs. No food was filth- ier than that from the swill barrel, and the pigs were compelled to accept food that bad undergone fermentation until it was sour, but which was a mass of disease germs. The invention of the cream sep- arator has worked changes in the feeding of swine. Itis now cheaper to give the fresh skim milk to the pigs than to attempt to keep it, and the ground grain is thus more easily fed at the same time. Pure water, clean food, dry pens and comforta- ble bedding have done more to eliminate disease than medicine. —Feed grinders are now made to grind clover, the results being clover meal. As food for calves it has been found excellent, the meal being scalded at night and allow- ed to remain until morning. For ducks, geese and chickens, when mixed with ground grain, it serves asa nitrogenous diet and adds greatly to the value of the whole. As an addition to the food of young pigs it has given excellent results. When scalded the clover meal swells, becomes soft and is very palatable. It is not a substi- tute for clover hay for adults, however, but should be used where ground grain is made a portion of the diet for young stocks. —Among timely bee notes A. H, Duff advises in Farm, Field and Fireside as fol- lows: If you find a good many dead bees out- side the entrance of the hives after the bees have taken a fly during winter, it is a good sign that they are strong enough to clean out their hives. If you find acolony that have no dead bees at the entrance, you may conclude it is dead or so weak it is unable to do business. Do not offer to feed liquid food in winter to your bees, for it is almost sure death to the colony. Begin feeding liquid feed af- ter the weather turns warm in early spring and the bees are flying daily. You can erect windbreaks at any time during the winter without molesting the bees, and if not already done, do it now, as it will pay you for the time and expense. Make some candy from the best grades of sugar, and give it to the hees that you find scarce of stores about midwinter or a little after. — Watercress growing is a profitable in- dustry for women who live near large town and who have running water at hand. The health of the plant depends upon an abundant, continuous current and a shallow stream. Without these the leaves become stunted and the growth will not be plenti- ful. The best soil for it is gravelly loam on clay, because it retains the water, makes the bottom firm and supplies sufficient nourishment. Cleaning and replanting should take place annually. This entails a good deal of expense, but it is necessary if one would oh- tain the full value of the beds. It isa good idea to allow ducks to follow the workmen while this is going on, as they eat the caddis worm, which is always a trouble among the new plants. In remaking the beds the upper sprigs of the cress are first gathered and put down in a convenient spot for replanting, sheltered from the wind and sun. The beds or dikes are then thoroughly cleaned out and the muddy soil removed with all the old roots, weeds and living creatures it contains. The bottom is then carefully leveled and the stream allowed to flow, to thoroughly scour out all impurities, for a sufficient time. The replanting can now proceed. The cut “cress is carefully laid down in rows or spread broad cast on the ground. The form- er plan admits of a steady flow of water. If seed is sown then it is advisable to do so where the water is sluggish, otherwise the force of the stream would carry away the greater part of the seed sown. After the plants are laid down it will be necessary sometimes to make a dam of stones where there is a danger of their being shifted from their position. The water is then let in sparingly at first, for fear of the plants be- ing disturbed, until the young rootlets strike which they will in the course of three orfour days. In this way every brook, stream or ditch which has a strong cur- rent can be turned to account; it will only be necessary to sec that the water rises sufficiently for the nourishment of the watercress. The water of the stream should be guard+ ed with care in order that it may not be- come contaminated. fy Careful picking is necessary and the front stem shonld be selected and gathered singly two or three sprigs at a time. The more cautiously this is done the sooner the beds FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, whe ~has introduced a woman suffrage bill, says that his family have for three generations. been advocates of the right of women ta vote. The hem of a woman’s gown when she comes in from the street is alive with bac- teria. These disease germs are distributed about over the floor, to creep into the mouths of children, or to find their way back into the air, and possibly into the sys- tems of older people. They cannot be seen. They seek dark places where they may live and grow. They lurk there, ready at any moment to creep into the systems of unsus- pecting victims. The germ most frequently found on a woman’s skirt is that of tuberculosis, states a physician. Consumption isa disease that is undeniably transmitted in this - way. This germ is especially tenacious of life. It will live for three or four days even when exposed %o the air and sunshine. Take the matter of openly remarking in his presence on a child’s looksand manners, which is one of the common occurrences of every day. Who could endure to be scrutin- ized by their dear 500 friends, and listen to their unbiased judgment passed upon her faults and foibles. We should consider it a torture worthy of the Inquisition. Fancy being told to your face that your eyes are too small, or your face too large, or your complexion horrid. How would you like to hear someone exclaim : “Mercy what an awkward, overgrown creature !’’ cr, ‘‘Dear me, almost a dwarf, isn’t she? And what skinny little arms!’ In our inmost souls we may suspect—even know-—we posiess these defects, but to suspect them and hear them put into blunt words are two differ- ent things. This season boleros no longer. end in a line with the waist, but slightly above it, so as to show a wide filigree gold or steel waistband; as light as fine lace. Many of these garments are in sealskin or sable in front with basques almost touching the waist, and behind a long end, giving the effect of the flaps of hunting jacket without the split. Round the waist'is ‘a baud of satin ribbon matching the sable, through which is passed a thread of some precious metal brightened up with beads of precious stones. The correct storm skirt escapes the ground by just three inches. That is, the latest fiat of fashion, so if you ‘are con- templating a new purchase bear that in mind. There has been a strenuous effort made to have this comfortable feminine garment attractive, and we are nearer that end now than ever before. In ashort time the short skirt will be as objectionable as bloomers, and then there will be a general adoption of storm skirts. Women who have avoided the startling and ugly short, skimpy skirt will desért their long drap- eries in favor of an extremely sensible gar- ment. Mr. Edmund Russell, of Delsarte fame, has declared it a popular fallacy with every woman that she looks best in black. He has small patience with such belief. He goes on to say : ‘Black makes the flesh look a little whiter by contrast, but it makes every shad- ow duller, every line deeper. It ages a person more than anything else.. The only persons who look well in black are those who are fair and plump, with no lines, no cares in their faces.’’ This dictator considers gray par excellent and he has a great deal to say of.tone har- monies which in dress he thinks should be as perfect as in music or pictures. It is probably going too far to say that a girl sets about being ‘‘smart’’ in order to be healthy, but it is absolutely true: that she is quite likely to grow stronger be- cause of her correct way of carrying her body. : How many women sink “into a little heap the minute they sit down—shoulders drooping, chest sunken, the whole - weight of the body thrown on the end of the spine. The smart girl sits'in the same erect, alert way that she stands, and’ if she wishes to rest she leans back ‘against her shoulders, and not the middle of her back. In bending, whether at a desk or a dish- pan or adinner table, she bends from her waist, not from her shoulders, and she not only looks well, but avoids fatigue and the actual injuries that come from any strain on misplaced muscles. Having learned the full value of a prop- er carriage, the smart girl sets ahout to study and understand every detail of her wardrobe, that she may not mar fine ef- fects by trifling defects. It is not a ques- tion of the newest fashions and richest ma- terials, but of the hang of a skirt that makes it seem a part of the woman herself; of curving a waist over shoulders and bust so skillfully that the material seems to adapt itself to express the very personality of the wearer: of makipg a garment, whether it is loose or tight, suggest the charm of the person. This is’ smartness in dressing, and cannot be accomplished over a slovenly body. dials The smart girl may not own the newest girdle, but whether her belt is a bit of ribbon, a twist of silk or a band of satin, of one thing you may be sure, she will put it on in such a way that the pretty curve of her waist will not be disguised, for she knows that the waist line of a woman who breathes properly is a full inch lower in front than in the back, and she recognizes the beauty of the curve. Her neckwear is dear to the soul of an artist. It never cramps the poise of her neck, and there are no cheap frills or fur- belows to spoil the graceful lines from head to shoulder. And, above all else, it is al- ways put on in such a fashion that the fast enings and connections with the bodice are never remotely suggested. A skirt that gaps, a belt that sags, loose- ly in the back, a collar that initiates the beliolder into the mysteries of the toilet, are all an unknown quantity in the equa- tion of the smart girl. 1f she ‘‘goes in’’ for severe effects they are perfectly carried out. Her linen is as fresh as her brother’s, and her neckties as swell and knotted always in the approved fashion.’ In fact. every detail of her dress is perfect, just as i muscle of her body ' is normal. . She is well groomed, because silky hair, creamy skin and delicately manicured hands are just so many expressions of plea- sure in physieal perfection. The smart girl carries her liking for cor- rect form into all the social details of life. She enters a room in an alert fashion. She is sure to shake hands in some pretty, new way. Awkward or commot-place she will net be, even in holding up her gown. Her skirt must be lifted well from the ground; it must bang in graceful folds and reveal ‘just a suspicion of a dark, silk-frilled petti= will be ready for picking again. coat. \ A frayed petticoat or a skirt grab- ‘shock incident to the amputation. . After taking, she slept all night. bed up in some clumsy fashion might not prove a State prison offense, byt it would be out of harmony, and what could be’ worse from the smart girl’s point of view ? Had a Big Constituency. NEw York, Feb. 13—The Evening World to-day says: : Cecil Leslie, ‘‘Press agent’’ and employe of the Miller 520 per cent. swindle, has made a long confession to the Evening World. Briefly economized, Leslie says: ‘“The Franklin syndicate was a colossal bunco game. Some of the men who were interested in the concern were formerly managers of Lyons & Co. and the E. S. Dean company in this city, which were run on similar lines. Miller must have gathered at least $1,000,000 out of the scheme, probably more. He had behind him more political backing than any schemer, swindler or gambler this country ever knew. Politicians of highest rank, Senators, Assemblymen and leaders of both parties were his clients. The syndicate stock market connections were fairy tales. It was organized with its first clients from among members of the church in which Miller taught a Sunday school class. The wives of high officials and a great number of policemen and firemen were among his investors. When I last saw Miller he had $10,000 in jewelry on his person and always carried immense sums of money in his pocket. The Miller deposits of $100,000 in the Wells Fargo bank have not been withdrawn. Leslie is now out of the State, but the Evening World knows where he is. A Peculiar Case. Condition of Ali Shilling, of Clintondale.' The case of Ali Shilling, of Clintondale, is an interesting one. Mr. Shilling was in the hospital in Lock Haven about a year ago where he was treated for gangrene in the second toe and instep. After remaining in that institution a short time he was re- moved to his home. Since then the foot has mortified and the disease has extended half way up the leg. He suffers intensely, but the attending physician, Dr. Dumm, has made the patient as confortable as pos- sible. It was thought recently that the leg could be amputated, but an examina- tion revealed that Mr. Shilling had be- come so weakened from another disease that he would not be able to survive the This disease is called thrombosis, or occlusion of the artery, well up in the groin, which disease had its start as far back as 1895. All these years the weak collateral circula- tion of the blood has sustained the limb, but the infirmities of age have become so marked that the limb is now slowly dy- ing. A Hog’s Long Fast, A farmer named August Rougeoux, re- siding near Saltshurg, is said to have lost a valuable hog last September, and though he hunted high and low, the animal was not found. A few days ago, however, while working about a hay stack, Mr. Rougeoux heard a pig grunt. Upon in- vestigation he discovered his long lost hog underneath the bay stack, the hog having lived three months on what it could bite off and without water. It was reduced to a skeleton: A Ni1GHT OF TERROR. — ‘‘Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnham of 'Machias, Me., when the doctors said she would die from pneu- monia before morning’’ writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that fearful night, but she begged for Dr. King’s New Discovery, which had more than once saved her life, and cured her of Consumption. Further use entirely cured her.’””” This marvellous medicine is guaranteed to cure: all Throat, Chest and Lung Diseases. Only ‘50 cents and $1.00. rial bottles free at F. P. Green’s drug store.
