FARM NOTES.
—FEarly cabbage plants should now be
ready for transplanting, and the sooner
they are put out the better. For the sup-
ply of an ordinary family one hundred
plants should be sufficient.
—Too much grass at this season will
cause scours in animals. Very young grass
is not only watery but also laxative, and
while a small quantity may be allowed care
must be exercised in permitting stock on
grass, as a sudden change from dry food
may be harmful.
—No vegetable grown in the garden is
produced so easily as the beet, and when
early and tender it is a delicacy. The seed
may now be planted, using an early varie-
ty. Later in the season a second planting
may be made, or even a third, as they are
better when not allowed to fully mature.
—The early varieties of sweet corn are
the dwarf kinds. For a later supply the
well known Stowell’s Evergreen is still one
of the best. Sweet corn should have plenty
of manure, so as to force the plants in
growth as much as possible, as the early
crop is considered of more value than the
later.
—String beans may now be planted.
Should the nights be cold they may be
somewhat slow of growth, but a few warm
days will push them forward rapidly.
Plant in rows, placing the beans six inches
apart in the rows, so as to permit of work-
ing them with a light hoe, A quart of seed
will give enough plants for a large family.
— Last week frost appeared in some lo-
calities in this section. No harm is done
onions and peas with a light frost, but the
warm days sometimes induce the planting
of crops that should not be attempted in
the garden until later. No seeds will ger-
minate unless the temperature of the soil is
high enough for the seeds to start. If the
ground is cold the seeds will perish.
—Squash may be grown at any time
from now on. If the striped bug appears
there is no remedy but to hand pick them.
This is not difficult where but few plants
are in the garden. Cucumbers and squash
have the same enemies, but the beetle will
leave the cucumber and prefer the squash,
which induces some growers to plant a few
squash vines near cucumbers in order to
trap the beetles.
—Cut worms work during cool nights.
They will cut down all kinds of tender
plants. There is no way to get rid of them
except by poison, which is unsafe where
fowls or animals have free range. If strips
of thick paper are wrapped around such
plants as cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, etc.,
it may protect the plants against the worms
until the plants are well grown and safe
from danger.
—Radishes should he planted in short
rows, repeating the plantings every week
or ten days, as it is better to grow only a
few than to grow a large number as a crop,
owing to the fact that they soon become
woody and are not desirable except when
young and crisp. And to prevent them
from being eaten up with the worms put
plenty of lime on the ground that is to be
planted with the radishes.
—The dwarf varieties of kale should be
grown in every garden. The seed may be
sown in rows if preferred, but some make
the ground very fine, after using fine, well
rotted manure, and then sow the seed
broadcast. The plants grow very rapidly
and furnish a supply of greens before early
cabbage comes. As kale isa very quick
crop, and can keep ahead of grass, it is
grown with but little labor when the seed
is broadcasted.
—After every rain there will be more
weeds and in a few weeks crab grass will
put in an appearance. An ordinary rake, if
used in the garden, will destroy the weeds
when they are just appearing. For a field
the horse weeder will quickly perform the
work. If the destruction of weeds is de-
ferred until they make moderate growth
then the cultivator will be necessary to
clear the ground. Use the rake and weed-
er often and thus save labor in cultivating.
—Growers of melons claim that if the
manure is put in rows, or broadcasted, it
will be better than using it in hills, as the
cause of the vines dying around the main
stem, although the branches may appear
healthy for a short time later, is the use of
fresh wanure in the hill. In the rows or
hills the coarse litter is said to be better
than fresh manure. Lime is not beneficial
to watermelons, but does no harm to musk-
melons. Fertilizers give excellent results
with melons, and it should be broadcasted
and well worked into the soil. :
—The use of the trowel or dibble in set-
ting out plants is tedious and tiresome.
Fruit growers, gardeners and farmers have
more dread of the stooping all day in trans-
planting than in any other work. It may
not be known that inventive genius has
brought forth the trowel hoe, whichis a
trowel eight inches long and four inches at
the broadcast part, having a long bandle
like an ordinary hoe. The labor saved
with this implement, and the ease with
which such a trowel can be used, compared
with the short handled trowel, shonld
render it indispensable to those who trans-
plant garden plants and small fruits.
—The new strawberry bed must be giv-
en some care just at this time. Every blos-
som that appears should be removed, as
blossoms or fruit tax the plants and inter-
fere with their growth. Frequent cultiva-
tion and working beneath the Plant pre-
vent the weeds from finding places in the
rows. If the beds are kept clean the first
year there may be no weeds the second sea-
son, and the bed will be in better bearing
condition. The first year’s treatment of a
new strawberry bed is important, as the
future of the plants will depend upon the
care and cultivation given. A little nitrate
of soda occasionally applied until the plants
begin to send out runners will make them
grow rapidly if the season is not too dry.
—The market for broilers and capons ex-
ists during the entire year; but the best
prices are obtained in April and May. The
old maxim is that young chickens sell best
when asparagus is in season. From this
time on there will he a greater demand for
ducklings. They are usually sold in pairs
about seven pounds per pair. When the
early supply comes in prices range from 20
to 30 cents per pound, according to quality
gradually falling after July 1. The major-
ity of the ducklings sent to market are
batched in incubators, large numbers being
marketed by some poultry men. A duck-
ling of the Pekin variety should reach the
market when eight weeks old. Ducklings
consume more food than chicks, but as they
grow so much faster, the cost of food per
pound of meat produced is about the same.
ucklings are hardy, and if well cared for
the percentage of loss is small.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
‘Of all the aids of home manicuring,’’
said a womamn, ‘‘none is more valuable than
a bit of lemon. I always keep a morsel on
my toilet table and find it indispensable.
Unlike any other acid, it bleaches without
burting the skin, as it brings out any na-
tive rosiness in the nails without barden-
ing or coarsening them. Scrubbing, soap
and hot water and final polish are all very
well; for truly dainty finger tips apply
your lemon. Iknow a number of estima-
ble women who candidly confess that they
find it hard to keep their hands clean—
particularly in cold weather. Let them
try the magic that lies in a bit of lemon
and they’ll have no further trouble.”
Few mothers understand how to correct-
ly dress a boy of from two to four years of
age. They either put him in trousers and
make him look like a little monkey or they
put petticoats galore under his kilts; in
fact some mothers appear to think that the
more “‘flare’’ they give the kilt the prettier
they are. After a boy is old enough todon
kilts he should give up wearing petti-
coats.
The closer the kilt clings the smarter the
effect. Under the kilts should be worn
“kilt trousers,’’ which are made different
from the knee breeches. They are wider
and have no pockets. It would be diffi-
cult to have the kilts keep their pleats long
if the trousers had pockets, for the tempta-
tion to thrust the hands into them would
be too great for the little fellow to resist.
This is possibly the reason that the pockets
are left out.
It is not at all necessary that the trousers
should be of the same material as the kilts.
If you buy the trousers ready made you
will find that they come only in two colors
—blue and black woolen ones for winter
and white and yellow linen for summer.
These colors will go well with almost any
material. The trousers should come just
to the knee.
I have always thought that the reason
some women cling to the petticoats for boys
is on account of the flannel petticoat, as
they fear the child will catch cold without
it. This is a great mistake. If a boy has
warm woolen drawers to the ankle, long
cashmere woolen stockings and woolen
trousers and lastly his kilts, then he is
warmer and more comfortably clad than if
burdened with petticoats. In very cold
weather he can wear leggins; never leather
ones, which are both ugly and unhealthful,
bus cloth, which comes in tan and black.
This, with a Russian blouse, or peajacket,
and a becoming cap, makes a Hattily dress-
ed boy.
In summer how much cooler, more be-
coming and more easily dressed is the little
chap in his linen trousers and kilt than
with fancifully trimmed drawers and
starched petticoats! Boys’ underwear from
the very beginning, should be of a fine ma-
terial, but as plain as possible, leaving the
ruffles to his sister.
A woman who persists in wearing shoes
too small for her cannot long remain in
good health, for she learns to dread exer-
cise because of the pain and difficulty in-
volved. A shoe that is either too short or
too narrow is such an instrument of tor-
ture that one would think no really sensi-
ble woman would ever have resourse to
it.
Nevertheless every shoemaker knows
that not a few fashionable women habitual-
ly undergo that self imposed penance, and,
though they are invariably wrinkled and
aged before their time and a pained, anx-
ious and even disagreeable expression be-
comes permanently fixed on their once
pleasant features, they still persist in think-
ing the game worth the candle and that the
possession’ of ‘‘a pretty little foot’’ atones
for all the pain discomfort and misery
which are their constant portion.
A squeezed in foot, however, can gener-
ally be detected and, as a rule is anything
but a thing of beauty. The whole shape is
often altered until the foot is almost de-
formed at length into the Chinese variety.
Sailor collars will be rather fashionable
this summer. They vary in shape, some of
them being the conventional sailor collar,
while others are V-shaped. Pique ones,
elaborately embroidered, will be worn, but
the more popular ones are of grass linen
appliqued with Russian lace, or those of
white mull, and hand embroidered.
Again there is the question of the shaped
ruffle on the skirt of a cotton frock that I
want to explain.
Never was there any time when shaped
ruffles were more worn, than now. They
are not unfashionable, but they are not
artistic on a cotton skirt if only one is used
and if that skirtis very thin. I do not
mean to say that there are not times when
the one shaped ruffle has been advised, but
certain figures require certain treatment.
The fashionable ruffle begins just below
the knees; if it is shaped it is circular on so
full an allowance that it falls in ripples
around the hem the shaped flounces of last
season on a thin muslin frock is not worn
today.
Wherever the figure can stand it the en-
tire skirt is trimmed and the fullness of
trimming begins at the knees. From ten
to fifteen small ruffles are put on one skirt,
but the material is thin enough to stand
it.
Whenever it is possible three broad shap-
ed ruffles are used, even on cloth gowns.
For instance one of the most smartly dress-
ed women in the town has a gray Irish frieze
the skirt of which is quite long all around,
is cus circular, has a seam down the center,
then three shaped ruffles, the upper one at
the knees. Each is finished with a two-
inch hem, through which is run eight rows
of stitching.
Few ruffles are put on straight around
the skirt. The line is broken by points or
curves or a graceful graduation. While
the high line of trimming is used still in
the back the trimming in the front is not as
low as it was last year.
A great deal of fullness at the foot line is
so required that not even the seven gored
skirt with the tucks down the seam, flar-
ing from the shoetops, then trimmed with
bands, is considered stylish. The tucks
are run all the way to the hem and the
skirt cut with an enormous flare; or what
is more usual, the tucks stop a little below
the knees and are met by a mass of trim-
ming. :
The up to date summer girl will this
year be well supplied with a number of
very stylishly made linen gowns. Holland,
linen lawn, butchers’ linen, linen duck,
grass linen and finely corded French linen,
which looks like pique, are all on the fash-
ionable list for dresses and fancy jackets.
These appear in many new and beautiful
colorings, the ciel blue, soft corn color,
pink and pure white being especially favor-
ed. They are made up as simple. morning
dresses, with blonse waists or with short
boleros with wash silk shirt waists beneath,
trimmed with stitched bands of linen in
contrast—white on color—and colored
bands stitched with white on white linen
costumes. ;
Death Foretold in 2 Dream.
On Sunday night Mrs. Blair Bratton,
the wife of a Philadelphia & Erie railroad
man, had a vision in which she saw her
husband mangled under an engine. The
dream, on Wednesday evening became a
startling reality. Mr. Bratton, when at-
tempting to hoard an engine in the Penn-
sylvania yards, almost within sight of his
own home, fell upder the wheels. His
body was forced under the drivers, and
when he was taken out he asked for his
wife and children. Both legs were crush-
ed, his back was broken and he was other-
wise badly hurt. But he lived until his
wife and seven children reached him. He
than sank back in the arms of the former
and died. Several days ago, Bratton and
Lewis Bathol, a fellow brakeman, had ar-
ranged for a fishing trip, baving secured
leave of absence. The day before that on
which the trip was arranged for Bathol fell
under a car and had his leg taken off.

Their prices are right and their guarantee is behind the goods, which means many a dollar to the
farmer. , The more conservative farmer wants to see the goods before he buys, and buy where he can
get repairs when needed, for he knows that the best machinery will wear out in time. Goods well
bought is money saved. Money saved is money earned. Buy from the largest house, biggest stock
lowest prices ; where the guarantee is as good as a bond; where you can sell your corn, oats, wheat
