A A ee ————— Deomorralic: atc Bellefonte, Pa., April 13, 1900. FARM NOTES. —Don’t raise a host of useless drones to eat up the profit. —Don’t expect each colony you have to give you a 200 per cent profit. —Don’t expect anything from weak col- onies with poor old drones. —Don’t imagine if you made $10 from one colony youn can make $1,000 from 100 colonies. —Don’t invest big money in new fangl- ed traps to catch moths or keep them out of the hive. —The best market peas for the canning trade are White Marrow, Alaskaand Tri- umph. French Canner is a fine table pea. —Grass, leaves, lanes and fence corners winter over hosts of destructive insects. ‘Where such places can be burned over, many can be destroyed. It will also pay to go over the orchard and remove cocoons and dried leaves. —The strongest sprouts will always come from the seed end of the potato. So if you cut your pototoes for seed—and it is better to use large potatoes cut than small ones whole—cut them the long way and see that each piece has some of the seed end eyes on it. —This month it will pay to wrap the peach trees with stout paper to prevent at- tack from the blue fly, resembling a wasp, that lays its eggs just at the surface of the ground. The moth is the parent of the borer. Wrap the paper around the tree so as to have it extend eight inches below and above the ground. —Dark stables are very trying on the eyes of horses. When the animal is let out into the light, especially: in the middle of the day in summer or when snow is on the ground in winter the effect is very painful. These changes, if long continued, will re- sult in serious injury. —Hen manure, if used on a flower or a vegetable garden, should be used very spar- ingly as it is so saturated with am- monia that it will literally burn every- thing up. Mixed with rotten leaves and leaf mold or even three times its bulk of good earth it is a valuable fertilizer, but applied to liberally will do infinitely more harm than good. —An excellent remedy, in addition to the many that have been suggested, to pre- vent the ravages of the cabbage worm, is to mix one pound of finely ground pure cay- enne pepper with four pounds of dry fine wheat bran. Then add one ounce of car- bolic acid to one guart of water, sprinkle and mix with the bran, and spread on a board to dry. When dry keep itin a tight jar until wanted for use. Dust on the cab- bages in the morning when they are wet with dew. Commence when the plants are six inches high and repeat every two weeks until danger is past. —Since the lambs have come, the next important matter with sheep is the select- ing of the ewes for next year. Old ewes should be discarded and only young, large and well formed ones retained. The ewe is not only to be the mother of the lamb, but she must support it for awhile by pro- viding an abundance of milk, for which reason she should be a good feeder, possess a strong constitution and be free from di- sease. While the influence of the sire should not be overlooked, yet it is a mistake to at- tempt to improve a flock of small common sheep by the use of Cotswold, Shropshire, or Oxford rams unless the inferior ewes are removed, as the half bred lamb will require better conditions than some dams can sup- ply, for when a cross is made for the pur- pose of improvement the mode of manage- ment must be changed in order to have suc- cess. No matter how well bred the lamb may be it will not thrive if it is checked at the start from the lack of milk, and to en- sure the supply the ewe must be capable of converting plenty of food into milk. The selection of ewes it one of the necessary ad- juncts to management with the sheep. —Apple tree anthracnose is the name which Professor Cordley of Oregon has se- lected as appropriate for a trouble that is locally known as ‘‘canker,”’ ‘‘dead spot’ or ‘‘biack spot’ in the apple orchards of the Pacific northwest, where it has been quite serious the past year. It was at first thought that it was identical with the ap- ple canker of eastern orchards, but Mr. Cordley believes that they are entirely dis- tinct and the anthracnose a new disease. Apple tree anthracnose is caused by a fun- gus which attacks the bark, usually on the smaller branches, appearing first after au- tumn rains. It roughens, weakens and dis- figures the branches. It generally occurs as a spot from which the bark sloughs off, but occasionally girdles a branch and thus kills a portion of it. Thorough spraying with bordeaux mix- ture or with the ammoniacal solution of copper carbonate, once soon after the fall rains begin and again as soon after the leaves fall as possible, is recommended as remedial. and this may be supplemented in orchards but little diseased by cutting out anthracnosed spots and painting the cuts with strong bordeaux. —Calf scours are usually due to one or more of three causes : First and most fre- quent, damp, ill ventilated and filthy quarters or badly cleaned feeding vessels- Filth or decayed milk generate ptomaines or poison germs that set up the disease. The vessel from which any animal is fed should be rinsed with cold water imme- diately after using, and then scalded every day. After scalding it should be set in the sun to dry, drain and sweeten. Second, feeding cold milk that chill the young calf and checks digestion. From 90 degrees to 100 degrees is the proper temperature for calf milk. Third, too long between feed- ing: as a consequence the calf getsso hungry that it gorges itself when fed. From two to three quarts is as much as the ordinary 6-weeks-old calf should be fed at a time. Iv should be fed no less than three times a until it begins to take solid food. The remedy is to feed sparingly for a day or two. Give one or two ounces of castor oil in alit- tle milk, and two hours later give a table- spoonful or teaspoonful of the following in a little milk from a bottle in which an egg has been beaten : Tincture of ginger, four ounces; tincture of opium, three ounces; spirits of camphor, two ounces; tincture of rhubarb, two ounces and essence of pepper- mint, two ounces; mix. In verv bad cases give every two hours; in mild cases give every four or six hours until the discharges become more natural. If the calf is small and young one ounce of oil and a teaspoon- ful of mixture will be a dose. Keep the calf warm and dry. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. “There will not,”’ replies the famous dressmaker to my inquiry, ‘be many changes this year. We are making the same fall skirts that we made last year, only perhaps a trifle wider. They are our own creations, and find great favor with our clientele. Nearly all the skirts are without any trimming, except those in foulard and evening dresses, which are slightly trimmed at the bottom of the skirt. Short boleros have entirely super- seded jackets. In fact, we are making nothing else for walking costumes. Capes are no longer worn, and are replaced by a mantle with large and comfortable sleeves. The novelty of the season consists in the color and the shape of the sleeves. The latter are made after the style of 1845, fall- ing from the shoulder to just below the elbow, developing into a puff in lace or batiste, confined in a tightly-fitting band at the wrist of embroidery or braiding.”’ Certainly do not have an overskirt with an Eton jacket. The reasons are these :(— First—Eton jackets and overskirts are never worn together, for an Eton jacket belongs to a tailor suit and an overskirt does not belong to a tailor suit. Second—Overskirts are not stylish on cloth gowns. If you want a tailor suit for spring get a pale gray or tan camel’s hair serge. Line it with the same color,make an Eton jacket and three-gored skirt, stitch it many times around the bottom of the skirt and down the seams. Make large revers and small collar on the Eton of black and white striped silk. You may wear this suit for every occa- sion except an evening affair. Any shirt- waist goes with it, and you may attach to it all the beautiful varieties of new neck- wear in the shops. If you want a ‘‘dressy’’ gown for spring and not a tailor suit, get a pale tan Lans- downe, or crepe de chine and make it with a drop skirt over a silk petticoat and a draped bodice with a yoke of silk em- broidery, tight-fitting mousquetaire sleeves and a belt of pressed velvet. To go with it bave a large Neapolitan straw hat flared up on one side, trimmed with tan-colored tulle and banked with crimson and yellow wild flowers. If you are going to have a summer silk my advice to you is to get the tailor suit for your cloth gown. Foulard and India silk are the only two stylish silk fabrics for the summer. Decide on one of these and make it up by the model I have just given you for the cloth gown, and make your cloth tailor suit after the manner described above. For a home wedding why not have an exquisitely fine French nainsook, made with a circular skirt, a train and an 18-inch knife pleating around the bottom, edged and inserted with Valenciennes lace? On either side of the skirt run two bands of the insertion down to the ruffle and there outline them into a great true lover’s not. Make a draped bodice of the nainsook over a plain, high yoke of fine lace and col- lar of the same. Run ten tucks down the middle of the back with a hand of lace put through the center. Wear a high girdle of white satin, the sleeves mousquetaire,eith- er of lace or nainsook, preferable the form- er, and the veil of white tulle, put on with little pearl-headed pins, a high bunch of orange flowers just in the front. Why will women of uncertain complex- ions wear linen collars? The dead blue- white is trying to any skin, and especially so when it is past its first freshness. It is hard on that, but blooming 16 can afford to laugh at its efforts. Belts for the new shirt waists are of the familiar little narrow-stitoched bands of silk to match or of contrasting silk when the waists are trimmed. When the waists are tucked lengthwise the tucks on the sleeves going around, instead of lengthwise, are pretty, and make the arm look larger. There is one fashion that is being es- pecially drawn to attentions by the new model gowns this week. It is the bolero jacket. The best of them are made of lace, but embroidery and squares of linen and lace together will be utilized for them on cot- ton gowns. The woman who has a fine lace one is in luck. She can wear it on half a dozen gowns this summer. The new ones are rather longer in the back than those of half a dozen years ago, and there is more to the front of them. Some go as far, as to nearly meet in the center and have dainty little revers of tur- quoise or yellow panne velvet or liberty satin. Slim women are using narrow knife- pleatings or little ruchings of mousseline d’soie all around the edges. Several of the boleros have sleeves. A woman can make one by cutting a good pattern of cambric, laying wide lace on it, and putting the bands together with a lace stitch. The ones of embroidery are much easier to make, for their edges are finisned off with a narrow edge of lace. One of heavy em- broidery over a pink chambrey gown gives a very good effect. Add to this a girdle and collar of black and the woman is well dressed for any morning occasion. Every stout woman or short-waisted woman should cut hers almost to the waist line in the back and slightly rounded in front. Every woman should beware of getting hers too short in the back. It is apt to hang outward and give an ugly line just where a good line isso much needed. Every woman knows what an exceed- ingly ugly effect that is of the flesh rising above the top of the corsets in the back, and how every woman who uses her hand mirror strives against it. Yet many wom- en will put trimming to give that effect, never realizing the mistake. There is a distinct style in the back, al- though every woman does not know it. The fashionable back is as flat as possible and curves in very much at the waist. It is this line that is accentuated to make the waist look small, now that it is no longer fashionable to have any hips. Concerning the back of skirts there is lit- fle to say. The triple and quadruple box pleat seems to have had their day, and the single box pleat is narrowed down to about two inches, where it starts at the waist line and then flares out at the end of the placket. The box pleat turned underneath is as stylish as the box pleat turned outside, and on many figures it is infinitely more be- coming. Overskirts are not worn on anything ex- cept the thinnest gowns, such as trans- parent fabrics for evening. But even in organdies and Paris muslins that will see street wear in the evening they are not used. Tailor skirts continue to be made with the lining and other skirts made without it. -—— Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. Business Notice. Castoria Bears the signature of Cuas. H. FLETCHER.
