FARM NOTES.
—A half-teaspoonful of saltpetre, dis-
solved in a quart of water, and applied
when the earth in pots is dry, will kill
white worms.
—Manure should not be dumped in the
fields, but spread on the grouud at the
time of loading at the barnyard. If ma-
nure is dumped, and a rain comes before it
is spread, the spot upon which was placed
the manure will receive the larger share of
the soluble portions. This may be noticed
on all fields where manure has been dump-
ed, as certain portions were enriched and
the growth of the crop, especially of grass,
is very uneven. These enriched portions
show the effects of the extra allowance of
manure for years, and give good evidence
in favor of its liberal use.
—FHungarian grass and millet are sum-
mer crops. They may he seeded down
from now until July. Millet is cut when
the seed heads are in bloom, but Hun-
garian grass may be mowed once a month
on fertile soil. These crops are usually
sure, and they are grown where a hay crop
must be secured in a short time. Asa
destroyer of weeds there is no crop that
equals Hungarian grass, as it not only
crowds many weeds out to a large extent,
but the frequent mowing of the Hungarian
grass also causes the destruction of weeds.
—The ground cannot be made too rich
for gooseberries and currants, and any extra
attention given them the first year will
have its effect for years after, as a good
start is an advantage. Plant in rows four
feet apart, cultivate thoroughly, and then
mulch. Cutting out the old wood should
not be overlooked. It isnot difficult to
get large yields of fruit when the soil is
rich and the cultivation is thorough.
—Some weeds are valuable foods for
hogs, and if cut down or pulled up and
thrown into the hog-pens can be utilized
to advantage. Pigweed, purslain, ragweed
and young poke weeds will be highly rel-
ished by hogs, as will als; lamb’s quarter,
which grows nearly everywhere.
—Does it pay to grind the grain and cut
the hay ? Opinions differ, as the cost of
the labor is sometimes greater than the
gain made by reducing the feed. It is
claimed that if grain is ground there isa
saving of one-third, and that 15 pounds of
hay when cut up fine will be more service-
able than 29 pounds uncut. Cutting the
hay permits of mixing with it not only
ground grain, but linseed or cottonseed
meals.
—Early turnips are salable in market,
and are so easily grown that to be with-
out them as a crop is to miss an important
item in the line of farm rotation. They
can be gotten out of the way in time for
late potatoes. One of the best fertilizer
mixtures for turnips is superphosphate and
wood ashes. Broadcast the substances on
the ground and work them into the soil,
then plant the turnip seed in rows. After
the plants get a good start they will grow
abead of the weeds.
—1It is better to keep a lookout and kill
the white butterflies, the parents of the
cabbage worms, than to depend solely on
remedies. It is not difficult to destroy
them, and, though some may escape, yet
the number of worms will be greatly re-
duced and much damage avoided. Some
growers give children a bonus for every
dozen of white butterflies destroyed.
—1If the feeding of any class of cattle will
pay it will pay to feed baby beef, writes
Joseph E. Wing in The Breeders Gazette.
There is no doubt that gain is produced at
much less cost on the calf than on the old-
er animal. As his age progresses each suc-
ceeding day sees the cost of gain increase.
Compared with weight the ability to eat,
to digest and assimilate is immensely
greater in the young animal, and the
“food of support’’ is in comparison much
less in amount. Provide besides your
corn and barley plenty of good alfalfa hay.
There is need of plenty of protein in the
ration that is to be fed to the baby,
whether it be a baby steer, a baby lamb or
a baby boy or girl. Protein, which
abounds in all clovers (alfalfa is a clover),
goes to make lean flesh and blood and hone,
to build the frame, without which you
will have not room to hang your fat. It
keeps the animal in health and vigor.
The mature animal will endure a ration of
corn alone, not so the baby.
As to the questions of market, they are
well answered in the following from a lead-
ing Chicago commission house :
‘We think it pays to feed baby beef. In
the first place, this class of cattle is gaining
favor every day, and it makes no differ-
ence how many cattle are on sale there is
always an excellent demand for haby beef
—in fact, the demand exceeds the supply,
and they are about the first cattle that sell
in the morning. Baby beef will weigh
from 1,150 to 1,300 pounds at the time of
market. The heavier they are the better
they sell, as the eastern shippers are strong
competitors for heavy-weights. Barring
Christmas time, the months of June and
July are the best market months for baby
weight beeves. This is on account of their
suiting the warm weather trade much het-
ter than the heavyweight beeves. We
strongly advise feeding nothing but top
calves. Heifer calves will sell about the
same as steer calves.’
—At reasonable prices barley is an eco-
nomical concentrate and should be used as
freely as possible, writes W. A. Henry of
the Wisconsin experiment station. Barley,
however, is not particularly rich in protein,
ranking lower than oats and considerably
lower than tran. As the young bulls are
growing bone and muscle they should
therefore not receive too much of the bar-
ley, but instead a reasonable allowance of
both oats and bran. At the prices named
there is not much choice in these two latter
feeds excepting that being richer in protein
than the oats the bran will supplement the
barley very nicely. After giving all the
brome and oat hay the bulls will eat allow
them for concentrates a mixture as follows :
Barley, 200 pounds; bran, 100 pounds;
oats, 50 pounds. Of this mixture allow
not less than one pound per hundred
weight of animals fed. Some will eat a
little more, and some will possibly get on
with somewhat less. As the animals grow
older the proportion of barley to other con-
centrates can be increased. The barley
should be reduced to meal either by roll-
ing or grinding, preferably the former, and
it would be well as a rule to grind the oats,
though if the person is some distance from
the mill or has not the machinery available
he can try feeding whole oats, giving them
separately if the animals do not take to
them kindly when mixed with the other
mill feeds.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
A year ago it was considered graceful to
have the belt merely a folded string around
the waist. The shirt waist or bodice came
into this belt with fullness and there was
no attempt to make the lines trig and
smooth. To-day all the fashions of the
waist line have changed. Even the most
negligee shirt waist fits in with that trig,
bias look under the arms and across the
back of the waist ; the belt must be smooth
and shapely.
The old leather belts will not do at all. Do
not think yourself economical in using one,
for it is not the shape required. Itis as
broad in front as in the back and keeps that
square look under the bust which is now
considered one of the marks of ignorance in
dressing.
People tha’ make good gowns say that
they use no bex pleated skirt backs. Those
are to be seen in the ready made costumes.
However, they are effective in heavy wool-
en goods, but prettier than the single box-
pleat in any of its variations, double or
triple, are two hox pleats each a couple of
inches or more wide.
The ribbon bow which fastens the uptied
locks or curls of the little girl, is becoming
a veritable topknot. Fashion has ordained
that it shall be moved well forward of the
ears, instead of at the crown of the head.
The hair is divided and combed upward as
usual, away from the face. The locks at
the back are curled, braided or suffered to
hang loose. The front hair is pulled for-
ward at the last moment before tying on
the ribbon. This makes it slightly
puffy and pompadourish over the brow,and
the ribbon bow is then tied in triumph.
Strawberry Charlotte Russe. Line a
glass dish with a delicate home made
sponge cake and fill it with a strawberry
whipped cream, made as follows : Pick the
stems and hulls from a quart of perfectly
ripe strawberries, put them in a collander
and let cold water run through them to
cleanse them from dust and sand ;then crush
the strawberries and press them through a
sieve =o fine that the seeds cannot go
through; sweeten this juice with powdered
sugar to your liking. Dissolve a table-
spoonful of gelatine in three tablespoon-
fuls of water and add it to a full pint of
rich, sweet cream; then whip the cream till
it is so stiff it can be cut with a knife; as
you are whipping it gradaully add the
strawberry pulp. This will make a dainty
and delicious dessert, enough for six per-
sons.
Do you chance to know a woman critic
who is feared ?—yes, actually feared—in
her own household? No doubt she fancies
that she is performing a very worthy misson
when she recognizes the fact that, being
known as a ‘‘just critic’’ among those that
are nearest and dearest to her, they make
evident efforts to come up to her expecta-
tions. But right here I want to tell the
‘‘just critic’’ a secret. It is possible, you
know, for those who are trying to live up
to the family critic’s demands to resort to
deception sometimes. Better, far better,
is it for the family critic to be known as
generous rather than just.
The woman who has fallen into the habit
of criticising is very apt to see the worst
rather than the best in her neighbors. It
is so easy to forget the ‘‘diamond in the
flaw.” It is rather a strange thing that
when we may draw so much happiness
from the good that we may see, just hy
overlooking the shortcomings, we still per-
sist in Keeping our gaze fixed on the flaws.
Somehow we so persistently remember the
evil that we hear rather than the good, and
many times make it impossible for folks to
reinstate themselves in our eyes by holding
themselves aloft, because as critics we are
certain we have reached just conclusions.
With the going out of yokes in shirt-
waists has come in an odd trick of trimming
that is fetching.
It isa ome inch bias or straight band
(usually the latter) of the fabric, stitched
down the shoulder seams and out to a little
point on the sleeves.
It has a good theory behind it, for it
makes the line of the shoulder long and
sloping and covers any ugliness in the way
the gathers are put in at the shoulder
seam.
If a moth miller is seen in a closet, itis a
good plan to burn a little camphor gum
very promptly. Frequently this simple
precaution, if taken very early in the spring
will rid the closet of moths for the season.
Had you thought in connection with the
“grandmother sleeves?’ that the elbow
sleeve is the thing?
Though so far these filmy undersleeves
have been made in one with the uppers,
some thoughtful ones are having them
built apart, that they may appear in elbow
sleeves pure and simple, and in this old
new notion without investing in two
dresses.
Another thing; sleeves absolutely tight
at the top are not much seen. Whether we
have rebelled or the style has changed,
there’s no knowing. At any rate most
tailors give us a bit of room in our sleeve
tops, and most dressmakers at the least de-
vise some trimming for the sleeve tops of
gala dresses.
The stylish shoes for morning and for
wear with tailor suits have the high polish,
and round toed, with stitched tips, a mod-
erate flat heel and over the whole shoea
good deal of heavy stout stitching.
Whatever else you buy don’t get a dull
kid shoe with balf the vamp ornamented
with patent leather.
If there must be patent leather on ichave
the entire vamp of it.
An experienced cabinet maker says the
best preparation for cleaning picture
frames and restoring furniture, especially
that somewhat marred or scratched, is a
mixture of three parts of linseed oil and
one part spirits of turpentine. It not only
covers the disfigured surface, but restores
wood to its original color leaving a lustre
upon the surface. Apply with a woolen
cloth, and when dry rub with a clean wool-
en cloth.
The most fashionable lines for wash
dresses are five gored skirts with shaped ox
vertically tucked ruffles. Swiss insertion
and lace on the dimities; coarse embroidery
on the ginghams put on as a plain edge.
Make your morning gown with skirt and
shirtwaist alike and wear a narrow ribbon
velvet for a belt pinned very low in front
with a tiny circular buckle.
The inch wide ribbon velvet pinned down
toa low point in front is the best belt for a
stout woman. If you have a trig waist
vou may wear one of the narrow enameled
kid belts with a tiny black buckle.
Young Couple at Ridgway Meet Fright
fal Deaths.
Young Lady Instantly Killed and Her Escort so Badly
Injured That He Died Shortly After.
Ridgway residents are lamenting the
deaths of a worthy couple in that place.
Sunday evening Rennie Decker and Miss
Fannie Segar attempted to cross the track
between the sections of a freight train,
which had been cut at a crossing to permit
pedestrians to cross over. As they stepped
on the next track they were struck by
Erie mail east. The young lady was in-
stantly killed, her body being terribly
mangled. Mr. Decker was so badly in-
jured that he died shortly after. Mr.
Decker was about 25 years old and Miss
Segar was about 21 years. The two were
engaged and were making preparations for
their wedding, which was to take place
June 1st.
