Bellefonte, Pa., February 8, 1901. —————————— FARM NOTES. “Every breeder of thoroughbred stock who aims to make a reputation never fails to cull from the flock or herd any animal thai has the least blemish. —Potatoes grown on land upon which rye or clover has remained during the winter and plowed under in spring, according to experiments made, were free from disease. Potatoes grown on land heavily manured with stable manure showed more liability to disease than when fertilizers were ap- plied and no manure used. — Under favorable circumstances four tons of clover hay should be taken from an | acre. Some farmers report as many as five tons, but such yields are not often obtained. The use of potash, lime’ and manure will accomplish much with clover. Many farm- ers are satisfied with two tons per acre, but the object should be to make the land pro- dace more every year. —Any method of conserving moisture will prove of assistance later in the year. The amount of moisture absorbed by the various plants is enormous. It is estimat- ed that one acre of barley will absorb 500 tons of water a day, a fact which has been demonstrated. by experiment, but which will not be accepted by many. — Gardens should be ornamental as well as useful, but especially should the soil of the garden be very rich. There will be no danger from using too much manure in the garden if it is applied about this season’of they ear. The soil of the garden should. be fine, hence it. will be an advantage to plow the garden early so as to permit the frost to assist in pulverizing the lumps. —The asparagus beetle is a destructive enemy that hasdone more than its share to injure asparagus. The stalks standing ou asparagus beds shonld be cut down and the beds burned over, while the ground is frozen. Cover with fine horse manure that is free from litter and rake the bed over about the first of April. Asparagus is one of the earliest crops that come in the spring. __The sunflower is overlooked as a crop in this country. It will ‘produce as many bushels of seed as corn, and a bushel of seed will produce about a gallon of oil. The residum is equal to linseed meal for stock: The flowers are worked upon ‘by bees, and the stocks make excellent fuel. The leaves are said to be cured and used as fillers in cigars, and theseed can be ground into meal from which bread may be made and are also excellent when fed whole to poultry. — Farm implements do not wear out so much as they rust out. Plows, cultivators, barrows, ete., that are left in the open air usually end their usefulness in one season instead of lasting for several years. A mower or binder that is not kept perfectly dry will be almost useless when desired for use. There should be a place for every machine or tool, and each should be exam-, ined before spring. Every blade should be sharp, and oil should be now applied freely to all implements. —The application of fertilizers should be made under the most favorable circum- stances, if possible. The loss from rains and snows is less when the fertilizer is in- corporated with the soil. When broad- casted on the surface by hand there may be too much applied in places and an insuffi- ciency to others. The use of a fertilizer drill will give good results when using fertilizer at time of drilling seeds, but a harrow on the surface, after broad-casting the fertilizer, will aid in more evenly dis- tributing it in the soil. —The growing of strawberries, if the harvesting of the crop 18 excepted, entails but little more trouble than ' wheat. but it may not be known to some that five times as many bushels of strawberries can be grown per acre as can of wheat ; yet such is the fact, and the prices per bushel are much higher. Strawberry plants that are set out this spring, will bear a crop next. spring and if the plot is kept clean of weeds, and fertilizer applied, another erop can be secured the next season. Some growers take as many as three crops before plowing the plants under. Land plaster is an excellent fertilizer for all kinds of leguminous crops, being a special fertilizer for clover. One hundred pounds per acre will show excellent re- sults; but twice that quantity may be used. It is sulphate of lime, and is partially sol- able in water. It has the power of absorb- ing and retaining ammoniacal gases and gives them up to tue plants. While it serves also to induce chemical reaction in the soil yet the fact that it is partially solnble gives it a great advantage in sup- plying lime to some plants in a form that is immediately available. —It has long been an expression in Eng- land that the best way to increase the size of a farm was by going down deeper, in- stead of widening out from the sides. Those who cultivate only the six inches of the surface soil are limiting their opera- tions. While the cold sub-soil should not be turned over so as to be placed on the surface, yet the plow can encroach a little on the subsoil every year, and if a sub- soil plow is used, then the lower soil may be loosened so as to permit of the easier penetration of the roots of plants. The sub-soil is rich in plant foods that can be made available for crops, and as long as clover and other crops are grown and turn- | ed under there will be added to the surface soil portions of the fertilizing elements that are taken up by the growing crops and returned to the land. -—~When selecting trees give the small ones the preference. The majority _ of growers seem to prefer large trees, but the small tree will make a better start and in a few years he fully as large as the others. The larger the tree the larger the root. Fibrous roots grow at once, and the more of them the better. The roots of large trees are often injured in digging them at the nursery, while the small trees are rarely so injured. The larger the tree the more it costs, and con- sequently the small trees are cheaper. ‘When the trees are received all the injured roots should be trimmed and the location carefully prepared. Use no manure at the yoots, but good rich top soil may be thrown in. After the tree is in place pour a bucketful of water around the base and when it has soaked into the ground throw dry soil over the surface. Bear in mind that the more top to the tree the greater the work for the roots to perform, for which reason all trees should be cut back as far as possible, allowing but few buds,to grow the first year. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Skirts for summer, which have their gores set together with insertion, will be all the prettier if butter-fly bows mark the spot where the insertion ends and the flounce begins. To cure a corn tie a tiny pad of cotton wool that has been dipped in linseed oil over the corn every night after washing and kept on all night. A bit of oiled silk tied over the pad will prevent the oil soak- ing the sheets. This treatment gives won- derful relief in the cases of a hard corn. To cover your scrawny neck with a soft pink cushion of flesh, eat cereals and sweets, exercise the neck muscles by slow- ly moving the head in each direction, and rub all the lanoline into the pores you can. To reduce your double chin take away your pillow at night, skip your mid-day luncheon and massage the throat with firm upward strokes fifteen minutes each day. It will take months. As aids to flesh building potatoes taken at each meal, especially when milk and butter are added, cannot be rivaled. Li- quids are excellent flesh formers. Stout persons should substitute toast for fresh breads, and even of that eat as little as will suffice. Never drink at meal time if you would grown thinner. The girl with ugly hollows and deep shadows around her collar-bone should take the arm gymnastics. Outward and up- ward, four times, then' te either side. Singing lessons have often worked magic upon a seemingly impossible throat. The ungraceful carriage of nine-tenths of the stout women adds about ten pounds to their avoirdupoise in appearance. It seems very singular in these days that any self-respecting woman should throw out her abdomen, when by a slight forward poise she might keep it in line. Cocoa butter is only a degree less fatten- ing than German lanoline, and many per- sons prefer it. For increasing the bust or arms the best physicians commend it high- ly... Olive oil is good. also, but lanoline is the quickest known flesh . forming applica- tion, Before using see that the pores are open ; else how could it benefit? Let the lean girl who sits in judgment upon her own puysique take courage. She can have all the candy, creams, sweets and good things she wants, and, if she will, ac- quire a rounded figure by ‘‘reading up’’ the list of flesh building edibles. Obesity is a stubborn disease, and needs heroic treatment, beginning from within. Stopping certain foods alone will never cure *‘fat.”” The liver and the blood must be taught new workings. A little too much flesh is not obesity, and is easily remedied. Beverages containing lemon or juice should be chosen by the stout wom- an.’ The acidity is useful because it allays thirst and reduces the consumption of wa- so Appollinaris and vichy are better still. Tight lacing isa bar to all known physic- al efforts. The circulation is cut off Tit- erally, and the flesh pulled entirely out of place. To exercite in a corset is fool- hardy. One of the greatest cures of the sanitar- iums established all over the country is the simple sun bath. The solar heat gives the whole system a strength and vigor which no nourishing food can impart. It is so essential to our health and happiness that when it is taken away from ns we hecome weak, puny and ghastly pale. When win- ter is over most town people are weak, run down and pale, but when they go out into the warm sunshine again new strength and health quickly come to them. The sun bath is absolutely essential. Take it every day. Cut down the trees that are so close to the house that they obscure the sun and have every living room flooded with light. If one is forced to stay indoors all day try to get near the sanny window, where the full effect of the sunlight can be felt. It will cme neuralgia, nervousness, faintness, weakness and a dozen other complaints. It will give color and beanty to the com- plexion by making the blood purer and better. The purest and prettiest complex- ions are those which are wind-swept and sunbrowned during the summer time and not those which come from a dark room. Hats worn over the face are exceedingly popular. There is a, never-ending discus- sion as to whether this is or is not a be- coming fashion. If a woman is tired and consequently not looking her best, the hat over the face hides many untecoming lines, and with a becoming veil apparently takes several years off the eyes. Hats made of folds of tulle, chiffon, velvet or silk, are still being made up, and the delicate colors that are in style are most attractive. Three or four different shades of ore color are often most cleverly combined. The new visiting cards, so much reduced in size, are much more dainty, appropriate and ladylike than the useless breadth and Jength of cardboard so long in vogue, Some of the French styles are as small as the name and address will permit. Roman lettering has increased in popularity, and with ultra fashionable women has for the moment superseded soript, and certainly has the advantage of being mniore legible and of allowing the use of a much smaller card ‘ The fashion of pinnin;z- brooches just on anywhere for show has passed with other useless fads. Looking over the audience at the theatre the other night every other girl had her collar band behind pinned with the handsomest brooch she possessed, or she had used it to catch the little stray locks of hair at her neck. Speaking of hair, after the terrible pro- portions attained in the summer hy a pom- padour ‘‘built up by rats and other things,’’ as George Ade described it one of his latest fables, it is a relief to see that this monstrosity has entirely disappeared with waved hair. In its place has come a shining, well-brushed coiffure, the knot coiled very far forward, a slight droop over the forehead, but close at the sides. Noth- ing must mar the contour from the neck up. Instead of one little pin, a long narrow comb is placed almost at the base of the knot, and below an oval shell or gold pin. —— If you run across a lace collar going at a bargain pick up one.

Fortunate is the ‘‘grip patient’’ who possesses a genuine old-fashioned grand- mother, with a thorough knowledge of the good ' old home-made wines aud skill in the preparation of strengthening drinks. The very thought of her delicate egg wines, her rich old mulled wines and fragrant mint juleps, give a delightful promise of health and strength to the fag- ged-ont vietim fighting the grip. Here are a few that can be made at home, even if we cannot quite snceeed in giving them ¢grandmother’s touch in the mixing : A delicate egg wine is made thus: Beat the yoke of an egg very light; add to it two teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar and two tablespooufuls of sherry, or one of brandy or whisky; beat the white of the egg to a stiff froth and stir into the yoke' mixture. Pour into a glass with cracked ice. To make mulled wine, use one cup of fine sugar, a tumbler of sherry and one egg; beat the egg to a froth and add the sugar; heat the wine, and when it is at boiling point put the egg mixture in a pitcher and pour the hot wine over it, stir- ring it constantly ; put in four whole cloves | and the same quantity ‘of allspice. | Drink as soon as possible. Ta Another mulled wine is prepared thus : Put in'an earthen bowl a small piece of cinnamon, three cloves, a pinch of ground mace and a half-oup of ‘water; cover and lace over the fire in a pan containing boil- ng water, and let it remain ten minutes; when heated add to it two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a half-pint of port wine; again cover, and let it remain until the wine is hot; strain, and let it be taken as hot as possible. It may be poured over a well- beaten egg if neurishment is needed. Salary Raised to $40,000.

Until within a very few years diseases of the eye and ear have baffled the most learned men of medicine. It is within the range of the present no hope for the person whose sight or hearing had De a by age sig disease. But thanks to the untiring efforts of men who have devoted their lives to study and research, these conditions no longer exist. Like the advance in electrical science, so has wonderful Brofress ‘been made in eye and ear surgery; and to-day diseases that less than a score of years were pronounced incurable yield at the hands of the adept surgeon to the work of a few momenis, a few hours, or possibly treatment for a few weeks. The best part of Dr. Stites’ life has been spent in the active practice of medicine, with frequent periods of study and research in the best medical colleges, post-graduate schools and hospitals in the world, thus ever keeping in touch with the ‘generation to remember when there was little or | [rogress in medical science. Always ready to earn, he does not scorn to accept new truths trom other men, but he has contributed his share and more to the store of knowledge. His crown- ing success, his last and greatest achievement, is his New Treatment for Catarrh and Deafness. It has now been thoroughly tested, and the results have even exceeded the discoverer's most san- guine expectations. Cures have been effected in cases of years’ standing—in some instances where persons well advanced in years had been ‘afflicted since childhood —in cases that had been given up as hopeless. : That these facts have become known is evi denced by the number of afflicted persons who daily throng the parlors of this distinguished physician.
