~ Brn litip Bellefonte, Pa., April 6, 1900. FARM NOTES. —1I have estimated that there is manure enough wasted in the average barnyard every year to keep from one to three acres of ground in fine fertility several years,and farmers with whom I have talked agree with me. This is not a matter of saving labor, either, but is a great waste of labor. The manure should go to the field as fast as it is made. By this system it saves at least one handling and does not waste by evaporation or heating. The work is by this method mostly done when there is no rush of other work. When the time comes that we can muster courage to rebuild our stables, they will be put all in a single line, with a feeding floor adjacent, and the stable floor will be of cement, having a gentle slope to a water tight cart that can beebacked under the floor. This is the only way to save all the manure and do it at minimum cost. The difficulty with us at present is that it isa hardship to tear down and rebuild stables that are as good as the old style calls for. It would pay to do it, though' right away. Let him who builds anew look into the case, and he will discard the old stable without hesitation. ‘‘As dirty asa barn- yard.”’ The phrase is a very old one, but it has never brought about any reforms. The barnyard is as dirty as ever. Let us make a new phrase, ‘‘As wasteful as a barnyard,” and then maybe something will be done, says J. Chamberlain in Orange Judd Farmer. —There seems to he no doubt that a large proportion of the Kieffer pears that are canned are sold under Bartlett label, says The Rural New Yorker. Millions of cans of Kieffers are annually sold, but who ever saw this name on a label? Served in the raw, Bartlett is a name to swear by, while Kieffer is a name to swear at; yet, when well preserved, Kieffer is the better of the two. There is no good reason why the Bartlett label should be used. It is only a dishonest attempt to steal a free ride to popular favor on an honest old name. The scheme of the oleo men is much the same. For centuries butter has ranked justly as the best fat for human consumption. It has a characteristic color and appearance. The whole scheme of the oleo men is to counterfeit this color and appearance. No one can object when the Kieffer canners or the oleo men put their product out for just what itis, but both producers and consumers have a right to protest when they attempt to sneak into market behind ‘‘Bartlett’’ or butter. —When horses have their liberty, they almost invariably turn their tails to the wind in a storm or bad weather, says the London Live Stock Journal, and they usually select this position when resting themselves under a hedge. This proves that they are very like human beings in that they only face a storm when they are obliged to do so. Yet one frequently sees teams of working horses left standing with their heads to the wind while the plow- men are eating their meals under the near- est hedge. This is not want of heart, for carters are generally much attached to their horses, but rather want of thought. So long as the horses are standing still with the nose bags on that is considered suffi- cient, but it is well to remind the men that if their horses were left with the wind be- hind them the feed and rest would be more enjoyable to them. —When the fall sown wheat is winter killed or where the Hessian fly has been troublesome, spring wheat may be sown, says the American Cultivator. This crop was once the favorite in many sections, but has been abandoned to a large extent ex- cepting in some northern localities, asin Canada. There they still grow it in pref- erence, and they obtain as good crops as are usually grown from winter wheat. We see no reason why seed obtained from the north should not yield a good crop in New York or Ohio on any land that would grow winter wheat, and in a place where the fly abounds. it would have to contend only with so many of them as came on the field from some field of fall sown wheat near by. The winter wheat has to contend against both the fall brood and the larger spring brood which results from it. —The thing which concerns fruit grow- ers at present is why trees which bloom full do not set a reasonable amount of fruit. Ordinarily but a small proportion of the blossoms set fruit, perhaps only one blos- som in eight, yet such would be consid- ered a good crop, for if all blossoms set fruit it would be necessary to do consid- erable thinning to prevent breaking down of the trees. Some of the causes of trees dropping their fruit are excessive vegeta- tive vigor, unfavorable weather previous to and during the blooming season and self- sterility. Every observing fruit grower has noticed that young trees generally set little or no fruit the first few years, when they are growing fast, though they may have abundant blossoms. This is peculiar to some varieties more than with others. The Northern Spy apple may have this propensity for ten years or more, but with most varieties the dropping of the fruit continues only two or three years, but older trees will show the same result if stimulated to a very vigorous growth. Many fruit growers confuse this with self- sterility, but the two result from wholly different causes. The weather has something to do with the matter. The injury to fruit blossoms from unfavorable weather may come while they are yet in the bud or during the blooming season. Many peach growers have cut open peach buds after a hard win- ter and noticed the blackened pistil in the centre. Again, a late frost, when the flow- ers are open, has ruined many bright pros- pects. The winter or spring frost injury, however, is not always apparent in the blossom. The pistils of some flowers may seem to be well developed, but may yet be so weakened that they cannot produce fruit. Protracte.! rains during the bloom- ing season are also likely to seriously de- crease the setting of fruit, and one author- ity estimates that in California more fruit is lost from cold rains than from all other causes put together. There is no way of avoiding this difficulty, but it is interest- ing to know how it is caused. It is pre- sumed that the rains prevent the pollen from reaching the stigma because it be- comes too wet to float in the air, and also because bees and other insects which aid in cross-pollination cannot then work among the blossoms, but this is a very incidental resulf, since most of the pollen is not then yet out of the anthers. A Plain Distinction. “What's the difference between a fiddle and ¢ violin?” ‘A fiddle is a violin when the man who plays it has on a swallow-tail coat.” FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Fruit continues to be a fad in the trim- ming of hats. Gooseberries and currants are seen on the spring hats, as well as grapes cherries and blackberries. One realistic milliner uptown has a hat in her show win- dow which has blackberries with leaves, fruit and blossoms all massed together. The crinkled, high, spidery velvet bow, so effectively worn last winter for evening, has dwindled into a tight, compact, little old-fashioned bow with two short prime ends, and is usually made of velvet to match the color of the dress or accessories. It is worn at the side, just back of a light, fluffy coiffure. The hair is pulled low at the sides and over the temples, and its ar- rangement is a mystery to the girl with thin front locks, who finds it difficult to so completely cover the sides of the forehead and ears. . Now about the shoulder seams. They were never so long, and the reason of it is very apparent. The exceeding small waist given by the pointed girdle re- quires broad shoulders to make it more lovely. Isat behind a woman the other night and the cut of the bodice she wore made me fidgetty. I expected tosee the sleeves pull out from the armholes every minute. Bat it was really the uglinees of it that disturb- ed me. The armholes were cut away so far in the back that the width of her shoulders look- ed not more than ten inches. The sleeves were pulled way across the back to meet the armholes, and this jerked them into the most uncomfortable line underneath the arms. Just think of any woman decreasing vol- untarily the width of her shoulders ! The backs of the hodices to-day are not cut out until they reach the very edge of the arm and the shoulder seam runs over the top of thearm. There the sleeve fits into it without gathers and the armhole is made exactly as small as thesleeves. By all means a woman should avoid cut- ting the armhole out the least bit under- neath. The side seams must run up just as high as is comfortable for the arms. In truth, the armhole is the size of the arm and no more. If the sleeve is put in at the top with a suspicion of fulness, all right; but the armhole itself must not be cut any larger in consequence. Another significant feature in fashions is the trimming of skirts directly down the middle of the front and usually nowhere else. One of the loveliest models brought here from France is a dark gray cheviot, and the only trimming that the skirt bas is a series of reversed tabs from hem to girdle. By reversed I mean one tab is buttoned on the right and one on the left. These tabs are evidently simply stitched on and fastened over with a button. The skirt does not seem to have been cut in any way to accommodate them. Another smart trimming is to run three rows of flat braid down the front, starting close together at the waist, letting them flare at the knees and each end with a little tab at the hem. One thing women should Junderstand— that there is much art in dressing the neck. The long throat needs high collars, broad ribbons and many folds, while the short one should be dressed accordingly. A short collar on a long neck takes away every par- ticle of style from the owner’s appearance, and a high one will give a touch which transforms her. Some mothers have a horror of their chil- dren crying. Doctors in these days tell us that this is a great mistake. Of course there may he cases where it is not desirable that a baby should ‘‘scream its insides out’’ as the nurses say, but there is no doubt that a good healthy cry clears and strength- ens the lungs, and often acts besides as a safety-vent to the brain. Little babies must cry if their lungsare to be developed; indeed, I have known one very placid and contented infant who, by the doctor’s or- ders, bad to be made to cry at his evening bath if he had not had one good roar in the day. Babies know a great deal more than we give them credit for, and one thing they very soon learn is the meaning of ‘‘no.”’ The sooner they understand that ‘‘no’’ is final, the happier for them, and the less need there will be later of the terrible pro- cess known as ‘‘breaking their spirits.”’ Poor little babies should not have their spirits broken; but they should have them carefully trained, and gentle firmness in early days will do a great deal toward it. Small bows of black velvet and little fancy buckles put down in the front of the waist, a little edge of black velvet around the cuffs and collar, and a black velvet belt add greatly to a red crepe de chine waist, and looked equally well on the blue, and, of course, the black edge keeps the cuffs and collar from soiling. A tie of black tulle is considered very good on even a white waist, and it is this fashion which has come into play for the crepe waists, only that, instead of tulle or net, black velvet is rather smarter. Shirtwaists are as stylish as ever. The cuffs are narrow, tight, the edges heavily stitched and are worn with link cuff but- tons. Black satin and crepe ribbons around the neck, with the white muslin turnovers at the top, will continue sylish for morning wear. Straight unstarched collars of butch- er’s linen and pique will be worn with scarfs of crepe d’chine tied around them. A girl of 19 is a young lady and wears her hair accordingly—pompadour, and in a small knot on top of her head, with a round contour in the back given to it by combs. The figure ‘8’? is not very stylish, and the hair is worn either very low or very high. The modern hat requires it very high for comfort. : Make a gray cloth with stitched bands of the material, putting them on in the new way; an inch wide, starting at the waist and running toward the hem, cut there to a sharp point, both edges heavily stitched with gray silk thread. Make the centre one run to the bottom of the skirt, then graduate each one on each side until they reach the back. Put a single box pleat heavily stitched, down the middle of the back. Cut a French waist with these stitched, pointed bands running from shoulder to girdle, three in back and three on either front. Make a narrow vest of ecru lace over turquoise liberty satin and collar of thesame. Heavily stitch the edges of the front, make the sleeves plain, with astitch- ed band running down from the shoulder and wear a wide shaped girdle of the lace over the blue. ——When a bride has been married about three months she begins to write home for the old clothes she thought she would nev- er have occasion to use again.
