eseaTPREERR EEE 7 Bellefonte, Pa., August 2, 190L ————————————US FARM NOTES. J McCalmont & Co. —To destroy slugs and earthworms in your garden, water the plants with a solu- tion of carbonate of ammonia, one ounce to a gallon of water. The worms will come to the surface and perish. The ammonia will promote the growth of the plants. —It will pay to take the stock off the pasture next month and run a harrow over the ground to loosen the surface, especially on the bare places, which should receive plenty of seed. Do not then turn stock on until spring is well advanced. —It is perhaps not the business of the farmer to keep the roadside clean by cut- ting down the weeds that grow on such places, but, as the seeds of we~ds are car- ried to long distances by the winds, the farmer who keeps the roadside clear of weeds will have fewer weeds on his farm. ~The experiment of sowing crimson clover after the last working of the corn has not proved satisfactory. It is difficult to get a catch crop. The best way to grow crimson clover is to properly prepare the ground and sow the seed about the middle August. ! —Train the strawberry runners to grow in the rows, as narrow rows give the best fruit. Keep the ground soft with the hoe as long as it can be done without cutting out the runners in the middle of the row, and do not allow weeds or grass to grow. If the rows are kept clean the first year, there will be but few weeds next spring, which will permit of better harvesting of the berries. —The crabapple is one of the hardiest of trees, and, as there is nearly always a de- mand for crabapples in market, they are found profitable by some. The blossoms are beautiful in spring, and the trees are more ornamental than some which are used for shade and ornament. The large and growing demand for pure jellies and pre- serves should create a larger market in the future for crabapples. —One way -of getting rid of ants is to procure a large sponge, wash it well and press it dry, which will leave the cells quite open; then sprinkle it with fine white sugar and place it near where the ants are troublesome. They will soon collect upon the sponge and make the cells their abode, when it is only necessary to dip it into boiling water to destroy the ants. The sponge can then be set again and thus used repeatedly. —To get a good lawn there should be no trees or shrubbery to draw upon the land. The fall is the best time to get ready for the lawn. Plow the ground now and ap- ply lime. In September work the land well and apply 100 pounds each per acre of superphosphate and sulphate of potash, harrowing it in. After the first rain sow blue grass and white cloverseed, using plenty of seed, and brush the land over or roll it with a roller. The grass will make considerable growth before winter. Early in the spring apply 100 pounds nitrate of soda per acre. — While the use of the best cows is a very important matter, yet the management of the farm and the cattle have something to do with the production of milk. There are cows that will give more milk on some farms than on others, due to better varie- ties of grass, more grain food and more comfortable quarters. An indifferent farm- er may have good cows from which no pro- fit is derived because of poor management. During long periods of drought the pasture may not provide but a fraction of the grass compared with its capacity early in the sea- son, and it, therefore, becomes more difd- cult for the animals to supply themselves. The deficiency the farmer should observe and supply. — Listing corn is a quick way of growing a late crop for fodder. A lister is a double plow, or a right and left hand plow set to- gether at the landsides so as to throw a fur- row both ways, thus making a ditch. At the back end of the beam isa sabsoiler, which stirs up the bottom of the farrow. The one horse drill follows, which plants the seed, thongh the lister and drill may be combined if preferred. The seed is thus planted deep and somewhat thick, no checking being required, as the corn is cul- tivated but one way. Even as late as Au- gust corn may be planted with the lister, and as the method is a quick one the cost is not great. If too late to mature the corn it may be cut at any stage of growth and cured, but the proper time is when the ears are in the milky stages —The question has heen discussed as to whether there is a larger profit in eggs in winter than in summer.. It is not denied that in winter prices are at times very high, but it may happen that but few of the hens are then laying, while the expense of maintaining the non-layers adds to the cost of the eggs. In the summer season eggs are low, but, as the hens can then largely sustain themselves, the cost is re- duced. As the fowls forage and pick up many articles of food that would be other- wise wasted it is really the case that many farmers sell eggs in summer that did not cost anything at all. Another fact is that a larger proportion of the hens lay in sum- mer, and those that are unproductive can be made fat and sent to market at less eost than during any other season of the year. —Hay is perbaps the most important article of food for live stock on. the farm, and grass is said to be the ‘‘foundation of farming.’’ . The grass crop may not be as valuable as corn, but if is an article of food for which no substitute can be found, as it gives bulk and quality to the rations, both in the green condition and when cured as hay. There are many excellent and nutri- tious grasses known, and which can be used by the farmer, but he confines himself to but two or. three. Clover and timothy are the grasses mostly used for hay (clover not really belonging to the grass family) and with all that may be said in its favor there are many grasses superior to timothy. Custom, however, has given timothy a prominent place on the farm, and which it will hold for a long time. But although timothy and clover are grown on the same land, as a mixed crop, yet they do not ri- pen together, and are consequently no suit- ed for each other and for producing mixed hay of the highest quality, for if the clover becomes too ripe it will contain a large pro- portion of woody fibre, while if the clover is cut before the timothy is ripe the latter will not be as nutritious as when fully ma- tured. Orchard grass, which is disliked by many because it ‘stools,’ comes into blossom at the same time as clover, and will grow on light or heavy soil. It will also stand dronght better than timothy and will give successive cuttings. Timothy is also low in nutritious matter compared with some grasses, and its place can be fill- ed by some other grasses without risk of FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. ee. To clean straw hats, first brush them with soap and water, then with a solution of oxalic acid. If coffee is spilt on linen, the stains can be removed by soaking the part for twelve hours in clear, cold water, to which a little borax has been added. Many of the linen gowns are made with three shaped flounces, narrowing in the front and widening considerably at the back, and large sailor collars figure on the bodices; the painted muslins are simply ex- quisite and show the tiniest of tiny roses and marguerites. - Most of them are made in shaped flonnces at the hem, and pretty, soft falling fichus, which are often united on the front by straps of black velvet. Broad brimmed floral toques frequently accompany these summer toilettes. Summer suits for the fashionable small man of the household, were never so at- tractive as they are this season. For boys of from three to eight years, there are three leading styles, the blouse, the Russian blouse and the regulation sailor. The blouse and the Russian blouse suits, come in a large number of variously trim- med washable materials,and too, in serges, cheviots, etc. The regulation sailor suits are also of the last mentioned fabrics. Many mothers are partial to the Russian suits of white pique forthe very little boy, and there is no denying that he makes a smart appearance, when he dons, for in- stance, a suit of wide ribbed white pique, with a sailor collar and tie, of the pique, knotted around in sailor fashion. In each corner of the collar is embroidered, in white a star, and on the shield, the anchor and bars. The white pique belt fastens with a white pearl button. His mamma may be able to get along minus a pocket, but who- ever heard of a boy who could exist with- out one? Even the tiniest suits are pro- vided with this accessory. Crashes, denims and linens are also made up effectively in summer suits for boys. The regulation sailor suits never lose their popularity. The Norfolk jacket suits, for boys of from eight to sixteen years, made of karki, have a decidedly nobby air. They are also very good looking in blue serge. To effect a permanent cure for an un- healthy and unsightly skin, patience and persistence are often necessary. What takes time to come takes time to cure. Purple pimples and bard lumps heneath the skin are of a chronic nature. They re- quire both an internal and external treat- ment. Ordinary pimples, which arise simply from excess of oil in the glands of the skin, may by cured by local treatment alone. Chronic or long standing eruptions re- quire a good blood purifier and strict at- tention to diet in addition to local treat- ment. Mother Nature is very beneficent. She gives us all clear, beautiful skins in early youth. All that she asks is that we keep them so. But we do not. We baffle, trifle or defy Nature and then punishment. This is contrary to Nature's misdeeds. We clog our stomachs with sweets, rich soups and a homogeneous mass of delectable indigesti- bles and—wonder at sallowness and pimples, Did the infant, with skin like the interior of a conch shell, feed on such diet? Shall the adult thrust an indigesti- ble mass upon the astonished stomach and reap the reward of an unblemished skin? Never! The local cause of acne and comedones is oversecretion of the oil glands of the face. Especially during the period of youth is there apt to be a surplus of oil in the seba- ceous glands of the skin. The pores of the skin comprise both the oil and the sweat glands. The former render the skin smooth and pliable, and prevent the formation of wrinkles. When fat is in excess it produces black heads and pimples—when deficient, wrinkles re- sult. The sadoriferious or sweat glands are so many littie gates for the exit of waste mat- ter. ‘The sebaceous or oil glands feed and nourish the skin and preserve its rounded contour when in norma! condition. If they are distended with oily matter which the body has failed to throw off through the proper channels, they fester and become pimples. If allowed to remain in the pores of the face, this retained sebum, or oily deposit, attracts every particle of floating dust, and the apex of the pore becomes blackened, thus forming a blackhead. : Tet us suppose that a married woman is making a formal call and is told at the door that the hostess is at home. It is then proper for her to give her card to the ser- vant, and as she passes in she may leave two of her husband’s cards on the hall ta- ble, one of his being for the hostess, one for her husband. This custom is generally understood, as married men do not make visits, but leave these social duties to their wives. If there are other ladies in the family, it is polite to inquire for each, ina formal vis- it, and to send up one’s card. A woman does not leave her husband's card for young girls, but, if the hostess has a married daughter and son-in-law living with her, cards should be left according to the pre- scribed rule. It is not necessary to leave one’s hushand’s cards in future calls during the year unless he has been the recipient of invitations which are thus to be acknowl- edged. : When attending a reception one leaves cards on the hall table as a reminder to the hostess that one has been present. This counts as a visit, and the hostess is then the debtor, yet she has the privilege of not calling except after receiving invitations. If one cannot go to a reception,cards should be enclosed in a small envelope aud sent by mail on that day. ; 16 is not proper to write regrets or accep- tances on cards, and it is neither courteous nor correct to write words of thanks for a gift on a card. A note must be written under such circumstances. A personal visit is made after an invita- tion to a luncheon, dinner or evening party, and, if possible, after a wedding reception. After an invitation to a church wedding, or on receipt of a marriage announcement, cards are sent to those in whose name the invitation or announcement was. issued,and a call should be made on the bride within a year, at least, or cards sent to bride and bridegroom. When a guest is stopping with a friend it is polite to call. hen calling on a friend who is visiting those whom one may not know it is correct to leave a card for the hostess. When a friend has returned after a long absence one should call to wel- come her home. When illness or sorrow, has come into a family, it is kind to call, either to inquire, in the first instance, or to loss. leave cards. Washday Wisdom. A very hot iron should never be used for flannels or woolens. Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes should be ironed on the wrong side. Clotheslines are made much more dur- able by boiling for ten minutes before they are used. Table linen should be ironed when quite damp and ironed with a very hot and very heavy iron. Irons should not be allowed to become redhot, as they will never retain the heat properly afterward. Embroideries should be ironed on a thin, smooth surface over thick flannel and only on the wrong side. Linen may be made beautifully white by the use of a little refined borax in the water instead of using a washing fluid. Wash fabrics that are inclined to fade should be soaked and rinsed in very salt water, to set the color, before washing in the suds. Silken fabrics, especially white silk handkerchiefs, should not be dampened, but ironed with a moderately warm iron when taken from the line. The Quagga’s Heels. An amusing story is told by Cleveland Moffett in his paper on ‘The Wild Beast Tamer’’ in St. Nicholas for August. Well, it was here that I heard the story. Bonavita, it appears, was standing on the bridge one morning when there arose a fear- ful racket in the runaway, and looking in he saw the quagga tearing along toward him. He concluded that some one had un- fastened the door, and was just preparing to check the animal, when around the curve came Rajah in full pursuit. Bona- vita stepped back, drew his revolver, and as the tiger rushed past, fired a blank cart- ridge, thinking thus to divert him from the quagga. But Rajah paid not the slightest heed, and in long bounds came out in the arena bard after the terrified quadruped, which was galloping now with the speed of despair. A keeper who was sweeping clambered up the iron sides and anxiously watched the race from the top. Bonavita, powerless to interfere, watched from the bridge. Of all races ever run in a circus this was the most remarkable. It was a race for life, as the quagga knew and the tiger in- tended. Five times they circled the arena, Rajah gaining always, but never enough for a spring. In the sixth turn, however, he judged the distance right, and straight- way a black and yellow body shot through the air in true aim at the prey. Where- upon the quagga did the only thing a quag- ga could do—let out both hind legs in one tremendous kick ; and they do say a quag- ga can kick the eyes out of a fly. At any rate, in this case a pair of nervous little heels caught the descending tiger squarely under the lower jaw. and put him to sleep like a nice little lullaby. And that was the end of it. The quagga trotted back to its cage, Bonavita put up his revolver, the frightened sweeper climbed down from the bars, and Rajah was hauled back ignomin- iously to his den. Japan's Rapid Rise. The Wonderful Progress Made in the Years. Last 30} The assassination of Hoshi Toru, the chief of the liberals at Tokyo. is now to be traceable to the organization known as ¢‘Soshi,”’ consisting of turbulent patriots who have before now given the Japanese government much cause for anxiety. In accordance with the general topsy-turvy- dom of the country, the ‘‘Soshi,”” instead of being revolutionaries, as the western world knows them, are ultra-conservatives, who have bitterly opposed foreign innova- tions. With a logic which has commend- ed itself to Europeans and Americans liv- ing in Japan, they have seldom offered the “‘tojinsan,’’ as the foreigner is popularly known in Japan, actnal physical violence, confining their attention to their own countrymen. This is not the first time that assassination has played a part in their propaganda. This year, by the way, marksa mem- orable anniversary in the history of Japan. Incredible as it may appear only 30 years have passed since the Empire of the Mikado emerged from the system of feudalism which had existed for centuries, and which in its broad principles was not unlike the ancient baronial institutions of Europe. In 1871 the diamyates was abolished and prefectures established in their stead. Al- most simultaneously—for events moved very quickly—the disestablishment of Buddhism began and a mint was opened at Osaka. The following year the first line of railway was laid, conscription was introduced and an edict prohibiting nudity in cities. ——Subseribe for the WATCHMAN. WHITE MAN TURNED YELLOW.—Great consternation was felt by the friends of M. A. Hogarty, of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turning yellow. His skin slow- ly ¢hanged color, also his eyes, and he suf- fered terribly. His malady was yellow jaundice. He was treated by the best doc- tors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonder- ful stomach and liver remedy, and he writes : ‘After taking two bottles I was wholly cured.” A trial proves its matoh- less merit for all stomach, liver and kidney troubles.

He was visiting his friends in Hyde Park, and, of course, he was boasting. “Oh, ves, me hoy, the United States does very well for a new nation,” he said kindly. ‘‘You are great in some respects, but look at us. We have our navy, that ! beats the world ; our army, never licked ; our great steamship lines, our bank, Lom- bard street, the financial centre off the world ; our loyal colonies, ang all the rest. What can equal them ? “And we have age too. Look at our ab- beys and our ancient towns apd our papers of state. Why, man, in at can you boast of beating us ?”’ His Hyde Park friend studied a mo- ment. Then he replied : “Down in Texas there is an old chap who was talked to just this way once by a man from your country who went there for his health. And after all the Englishman’s boasting was done the man of the cattle country winked at me, rolled his tobacco over in his mouth and spit 14 feet into the eye of a pig standing that far away. “Kin any bloody Englishman on earth do that?’ says he. And I ask you, cap he ?”’ The Englishman suggested brandy and soda in disgust. The Largest of All Animals. Of all uncanny creatures in the animal kingdom the one whose acquaintance is hardest to make is the blue whales, the largest of all the whales, and, indeed, one of the most colossal animals, living or ex- tinct, known to science. You will look in vain for him in zoological collections in menageries or even in museums. A brute 90 feet in length and weighing just as many tons, does not lend itself to preserva- tion or stuffing, and the few skeletons of him which do exist give no idea of what he is like. The blue whale is hunted by the Norwegians chiefly for the sake of his oil, and is of considerable value, a full grown specimen being worth $1,250 to $1,- ——What is said to be the longest train ever hauled on the Northern Pacific was moved from Jamestown to Fargo on May 17th. The train consisted of 125 box cars 5 of which were loaded. It was 5,530 feet long, or over a mile. The train was hauled by one of the large compound loco- motives. ——S ubscribe for the WATCHMAN.
