Demorratic atc May 4, 1900. Bellefonte, Pa., FARM NOTES. —The best remedy for lice in poultry houses is to add a pound of concentrated lye to a wash hoiler of soapsuds and apply the suds hot on the walls, floors and roosts of the houses. All lice, with their nits, will be destroyed surely and quickly. —The majority of the poultry on the farm is fed too much grain. Less grain and more green stuff and meat should be fed. Potatoes, onions, beets carrots or anything of a vegetable nature is cheaper and tends to keep the fowls much heaithier, and that means more eggs and consequent- ly more profit. —A farmer says : ‘‘If you bore a quarter- inch hole into the heart of a fruit tree, or any kind of a tree, that is infected with insects, and fill the hole, fall of dry sul- phur, plug up the hole, it will cure blight, make ‘he tree strong and healthy, and in no way injure it. This is a valuable boon to fruit growers, as the sulphur goes through all parts of the tree, being absorbed from the heart, and makes a good healthy color.”’ —An excellent whitewash for outside and which is not so costly as paint, may be made as follows: To five gallons of whitewash made of well burned white lime, add } pound of whiting or burned alumn pulverized, 3 pound loaf sugar, 13 quarts of rice-flour made into a thin and well cooked paste, and 4 pound glue dissolved in water. Scrape off old whitewash and apply warm. This is in the nature of kalsomine, and gives brilliant and lasting effects. —In regard to the hogs skinning the orchard trees, if you put a dozen or two of hogs on an acre of land, very likely they will skin the trees, or a flock of sheep would also. They must have room. There must not be too many in a bunch. It is said that hogs will tear down a pigpen to get the wood to eat. If you throw them a little lime, they will let the pen alone. I know that they have been known to dig out a stone wall for the lime. If you feed a hog some corn and don’t starve him to death, he will let your trees alone. Give the hog room enough and give him some- thing to eat. —1It has been demonstrated, says an ex- change, that a mixture of seventy-five parts of kerosene and twenty-five parts of water is a much better wash for fruit trees than whitewash. It is quickly absorbed and spreads into every crevice that cannot be so well reached by any other insecticides. The mixture may be applied by spraying or in any other convenient way. It will destroy scales of all kinds on the bark, and it is so penetrating that it reaches and de- stroys the eggs of insects under the bark, beyond the reach of other insecticides. A thorough wash of the trees now and anoth- er just before the sap starts will be of great value to all fruit trees, and the wash may be safely applied in the strength named to all trees except the peach. For this the dilution shotld be much greater, about 20 parts of oil to eighty of water. —All kinds of fruit trees and vines de- pend upon pollen for success in production. Some fruits that are well supplied with their own pollen will mature, but when the blossoms receive pollen from some oth- er source the fruit reaches nearer perfec- tion. Self-fecundated pears have been known to be deficient in seed, and plats of hesame variety have given the same ur satisfactory results. Professor Munson, of the Maine Experiment Station, has found that the size of tomatoes may he quite de- pendent on the amount of pollen they re- ceive while in bloom, one receiving a large amount growing four times as large as one receiving only a small quantity. The num- ber of insect visitors in an orchard deter- mines to a large extent the amount of cross pollination carried on, as the pollen of the apple and pear is not produced in sufficient quantity, nor of the proper consistency to be carried by the winds. Three or four varieties of fruits should be planted togeth- er; that is, three or more varieties of ap- ples, the same of pears, etc., and every fruit grower should have at least one hive of bees. —Never neglect the care of the churn, says George E. Newell in the American Cultivator. Slight negligence in this di- rection may cost you the price of many a pound of butter. After a churn has been some time out of use it should be thoroughly scoured with salt and repeatedly scalded before being again employed. Nothing will penetrate the crevices of a churn like hot water, and it needs to be at a boiling temperature when applied. There is nothing gained in patching up old utensils about a home dairy or manu- factory. Like farming tools, the apparatus of a creamery or cheese factory generally deteriorates more quickly in value from neglect than from practical use in its es- pecial sphere. The greatest care should he taken to ex- punge every atom of salt or briny water from the iron work of dairy utensils. Rigid drying by both an absorbent cloth and heat will do this satisfactorily. I have known a new $25 curd mill to be so eroded by rust in one season as to be nearly ruined. By proper care it could have been made to run ten years without repair. If it is important to keep butter tools scrupulously clean, how much more im- portant is it to be rigorous in the treat- ment of milk utensils. In private dairies it would be well to emulate the methods in vogue in milk shipping stations and creameries. First, after a rinse of cold water, the cans and other tinned lacteal utensils are washed thoroughly with warm water, Shangiag the bath frequently to keep it clean. Now follows the coup de grace, the death dealing blow to bacteria and spores. This is the scalding process. ‘Where a good steam pressure can be ob- tained superheated steam is the best agency to employ, whirling the cans rapidly while it is applied to every part of the interior. On the farm, however, water if used while boiling will be effective enough to render utensils asceptic. Do not scald milk receptacles by pounr- ing the hot water from one to the other. It cools too rapidly to be effective on even the second can so treated.

Follow perpendicular lines of trimmings on your new skirts if you would be chic, This advice includes tucks, applied laces —everything. One cannot look too tall or too slender. Lace disks, in graduated sizes, are seen on the smartest gowns, and they give a charming effect of long skirt lines. Still undecided about what is proper and new for that spring costnme ? Is it for yourself ? Well, then choose a pastel gray, and you may be sure you are right; a broadcloth or biege is best. Have it self-silk lined. Silk linings should always match the outside, now, to be de rigue—contrasting silks are passe. If you choose the cloth, the skirt may be plain, or trimmed, with bands of the cloth, or of satin, machine stitched. The machine stitched bands are exceeding smart this spring. . Then the double breasted Eton jacket, to be worn with a shirt waist, or chemisette, and the waistcoat may be chosen with safe- ty for the jacket. The hiege needs fancier treatment,although the fashionable stitched bands may appear on it, also. One of the new tucked, or box-pleated skirts is the proper thing for light weighc materials. The bodice may still be an Eton as this is the jacket of the spring, but it must have open, rounded fronts; lace cov- ered silk revers, a tucked silk waist coat, and a fancy cravat of some kind. Here is a tip tor you—the latest notion is to put the cravat at the bust line instead of at the neck. Perhaps it is your budding woman, you are in doubt about? She may copy the styles of the grown ups, if she is sixteen or vast, but as a rule the Eton jacket is not so becoming to a girl from 14 to 16 as to those either younger or older, on account of the transition state of their figures. A circu- lar skirt with a box pleat in the back, with a reefer jacket back, and straight double- breasted front, with fancy buttons, is the popular model for young girls. The nar- row revers are of cloth, or velvet of a light- er shade, with row after row of machine stitching; or they are of pique, duck or bright scarlet flannel. ° Light gray, or tan nun’s veiling, makes a pretty fancy frock for a girl, and is one of the most used of the new stuffs for this purpose. Make the skirt gored, but tucked in small clusters, caught a little distance be- low the waist. Have two bias ruffles around the bottom, edged with self colored lace. The bodice may have a yoke and vest of white chiffon, covering pink taffeta, and its front tucked to match the skirt, may also be finished with a lace edged ruffle. Belt and sash of the same material, finished with a lace edged ruffle; complete it. For small girls, a little older, wash gowns-are tke correct thing, and in this the idea is to make them look as dainty as pos- sible. They are still made with yokes gathered into a belt and the guimpe dress is as much worn as ever. The large felt Rough Rider hats are now as much worn by little girls as little boys, only the girls usually have a telescope crown, with a black velvet ribbon tied around in a bow with the ends hanging down their back to the waist. A pretty model has a white pique box pleated skirt, just showing about two inches below a double breasted coat of bright blue cloth, the coat being cut at the waist line in the back with two broad box pleats set under. A white leather belt is worn with this. The broad sailor collar of the pique gown, which fastens tight up around the throat has Hamburg inserting set in about an inch from the edge and two square tabs in front, and is worn outside the boat. The Russian blouse suit should be your choice for your small boy, as at present it is much smarter than the sailor suit. Gal- atea linen, pique, serge, and for something very swell, light or black gray velvet, finish- ed with the picturesque broad lace collar are the stylish materials. White, tan, or patent leather are the most used for the belts that are their universal adjunct. Kilts are sometimes used, and sometimes short full trousers under these blouses, but in the former case the blouse is cut much shorter. The Rough Rider hat for small boys is the fad of the moment with fashion- able mothers, so your wee mannie should have one, too. Don’t put baby tosleep in the same room that he occupies all day. * Don’t neglect to rub his scalp with sweet oil if there is any scurf. Don’t give him farinaceous food until the teeth start, or the salivary glands begin to act. Don’t over-salt or over-sweeten his food, salt and sugar create thirst, and thirst fret- fulness. Don’t use silk lined or cotton wadded quilts on his bed; light, soft all wool blan- kets are best. Don’t always carry him on the same side, but move him from one arm to the other,if he must be carried. Fashion is a great snare to some women. If a thing is the fashion, they think it is a necessity of life to adopt it, whatever the effect upon themselves. One often hears a girl lamenting, ‘‘Oh, dear, the new hats, or the new skirts are so dreadfully ugly! I look a perfect fright in them! But, of course, one must wear them—they are the thing !”? Now, this is nothing short of absurd. Every woman who has the least regard for her appearance will refuse to wear what is unbecoming, even though it be the fashion of the day. A well dressed woman modi- fies the fashion to suit herself so gracefully and so skilfully that she never looks un- fashionable. If she has a short neck and high collars are worn, she will keep hers lower by a quarter of an inch than the rest of the world, and turn the points a little open in front. If she has a low forehead she will refuse to wear the heavy fringe other women are rioting in, but will cut a few soft strands only and curl them close and tight. She will take out of the fash- ionable colors of the season the one that suits her best, and, if even that is not par- ticularly becoming she will artfully intro- duce a collar or a waistcoat of a modifying shade, or tie a chiffon bow under her chin to prevent the obnoxious color coming near her face. Those who are troubled with muddy or mottled complexions or eruption on the skin in the spring should try some of the numer- ous spring remedies for purifying the blood. These may be indirect as in the shape of food and exercise. Spinach and stewed rhubarb eaten at breakfast or luncheon are among the most efficacious of blood reme- ies. ——‘‘Persevere and prosper.” If you take Hood’s Sarsaparilla faithfully for scrofula, salt rheum, boils, eruptions, dyspepsia, it will cure you. -—8Subscribe for the WATCHMAN.
