FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Forming Habits. The New Anti-Tobacco Law. McCalmont & Co. Bellefonte, Pa., September 20, 1901. ——————————— FARM NOTES. —%T do not wonder that there are sO many failures made in preparing turkeys for the market when we take into cousidera- tion the course so many breeders take in fattening their birds,”’ says George Wolf, in Farm Poultry. ‘I have frequently seen flocks of turkeys penned up in a building for the purpose of fattening for market, and it was a failure every time. This is no more than should be expected, for tur- keys are of a wild nature, and as soon as they are cooped they begin quarreling, chasing one another about and constantly worrying for freedom. They soon tire of their food, grow thin, and will, when kill- ing time comes, weigh less than when first cooped with the expectation of fattening them.”’ —Ground moles, aside from the damage they do to growing plants by lifting them or disturbing their roots are rather a friend than an enemy. They are insectivorous, and it is in searching out grubs and cuf- worms that they make tunnels. These tunnels are merely traps, into which the worms fall and are picked up by the mole in his rounds. Persistent tramping in of tis runs will drive him to parts of the gar- den or lawn where he will do no harm. However, if he must be killed, it can he easily done. Open his tunnel, saturate some waste with bisulphide of carbon, put it into the hole, and cover with dirt. The fumes will permeate the whole system of tunnels, and kill all animal life there. Don’t poison grain; he won’t. eat it.—J. L. Irwin, in Farm and Fireside. —If you have put weevil-infested grain in bins, go at once and stop the pests from continuing their destructive work. Spread clean sacks over the grain and have the covers all ready to close down tight. Now take a pint of gasoline to every 50 bushels of wheat in the bin and pour it over: the sacks that lie on the grain; close the lids and throw extra sacks or covers over all to keep the air out and the fumes in, and leave the fumes for 24 hours to do their work. Then raise the lids and the odor will pass off and the weevil will trouble no more. Of course bisulphide of carbon will have the same effect; hut the writer be- lieves from trial that gasoline is just as good, and it is certainly more available and cheaper. The above suggestion ap- plies also to the. new wheat pest, the an- guomois grain moth.—Farm Journal. —The success of wheat crop depends largely upon the selection of land and the ‘preparation of the soil. The light, sandy ‘and gravelly loam soils which are known as natural wheat land are where this grain flourishes, if the plant elements needed for this crop are abundant and available, yet clay .soils with proper manipulation ‘do yield paying crops. : As wheat requires a large supply of ni- trogen for good growth, and has at the same time little ability to store it, unless available in the soil, care should be taken to plant where the soil is rich in this plant food element. Clover sod, if broken and sown to some spring crop that requires good tillage, will yield a profitable wheat ‘crop. : “Plow early for wheat,’’ is a maxim that ‘should not be forgotten. Wheat land must be plowed early togiveample time for prep- aration of the seed bed, which must be fine and firm. Large yields are often not ible, even in favorable seasons, because of the poorly prepared seed beds. One must not give heed to the number of times the land is harrowed, but keep going until the ground is in right condition. If pre- paring oat stubble or sod ground, the land can be frequently worked, and a success ful wheat grower advises doing this after each shower as soon as the ground is dry enough to permit. \ The soil must be firm but mellow. Think how small a grain of wheat is. To have it start well it must have a well-prepared seed bed, where it does not have to send its roots down for some inches. before it finds suitable feeding ground, as it does when the surface is cloddy. Start the plows on the wheat land as soon as weath- er and condition of soil will permit.—Col- man’s Rural World. —No many years ago it was generally supposed by dairymen that to make fine butter they must allow but little,if any, wa- ger to come in contact with it,butsince that time we bave learned to wash it in one or more waters, to remove the buttermilk. The question now is, how much washing should be done. There is a great difference of opinion on this matter. Some claim that it should be thoroughly washed, while others say that in doing this the flavor is injured. The latter, no doubt. is correct, while the first may be in a measure. To what extent butter should be washed, I believe, depends on what way it is to be handled in the market, whether consumed at once or to be held in storage. The ad- vocate of thorough washing claims that in no other way can butter be made to keep. It is my opinion that butter which is thoroughly washed will keep better than if only lightly washed, but I believe that either extreme should be avoided. To wash butter until the water raus off clear, will give us an article that will:not decay or turn strong as soon as that not washed so much. But, by tasting of the wash wa- ter as it comes from the churn, it will be found to contain a strong flavor of the but- ter, so it is plain to be seen, that by thor- ough washing we lose considerable flavor. Then again, while the favor is’ enhanced by ‘not’ washing so much, the’ buttermilk left in will tend to putrefaction, for, as we all know very well, buttermilk spoils quickly and becomes ill smelling. Then it we undertake to remove all the butter- milk by working, we are apt to work the butter too much, thereby hieaking the grain and making it salvy. * My plan of working the butter is to use two or three waters, depending upon quan- tity of water, temperature of butter and the market. If a nice flavored cream and butter, wash it very little for a high, quick flavor, especially if to be consumed soon. When the flavor is poor I would wash, say in three waters, and whether the tavor is good or bad, I would usea little salt in each washing, and only allow the water to remain on the butter just long'enough to give the churn a few revolutions. If the butter is quite soft when it comes, it may be necessary to leave the water on a little time, to harden it. In summer season I prefer to churn at a temperature close down to 50 degrees—say about 52 degrees —and then if other things are favorable the butter will be in good condition to wash at once, with water at about the same temperature as the buttermilk: drawn off. - There can be no set rules for washing but- ter, any more than in ripening the cream or working the butter. In this work we have to rely on our judgnient.— Ohio Farmer. A simple dark blue taffeta or a plain black taffeta gown for running up to town or being in town gives great satisfaction in these early autumn days. They do not collect dust as even a light-weight woolen is apt to do, and yet they have not the ont- of-season aspect which some foulards pre- sent. Foulardsare ever useful in the house, but as a street gown they will look passe after the middle of September. The taffeta is cool, but, not being figured with white, is more suitable to autumnal weather, be it warm or cool. A pompon of green, the color of Erin’s barped flag, appears as a decoration for an early autumn hat. The hat is of black cloth, and the green pompon rises sudden- ly from a nest of black silk foliage which completely surrounds it at its. start. The pompon is placed in front, slightly to the left. It is apparently made of myriads of loops of ultra-narrow and lustrous, shiny “baby’’ ribbon. An amateur cannot well make one of these smart pompons. It is best to buy them already finished. You can mount them yourself later on. Mrs. Laura Alderman, of Hurley, South Dakota, owns the largest apple orchard in the Northwest. Recently the Department of Agriculture honored Mrs. Alderman hy publishing the record of her phenomenal success in apple raising. It is always a mistake to predict that hair worn low in the neck will have any vogue in the summer, but it now looks as if with the coming of the covler weather there will be a radical change in the style of hair dressing. The hair should he sepa- rated back and front. Thé back bair should then be combed up and held by winding a very small inner strand of the hair around it and fastening it firmly with a hairpin. The front hair is next to be parted on the side and the two divisions combed up and caught loosely with side combs. All the hair is taken, twisted to- gether and arranged in a graceful coil, the length being from the nape of the neck up- ward and the coil rising to the crown of the head. A novelty in hair-dressing is the little carl which falls from the centre of the knot of hair on the top of the head. Smoked pearl buttons were worn on white and light-colored waists this sum- mer, and for fall waists white pearl but- tons are to be found on black waists. This effect is very good. Many young women buying the heavy- soled shoes now so much worn by them seek the youth's shoe department for the purchase. As a girl of 18 remarked the other day : *'I find that a boy’s last is much more comfortable than that made for a girl; I simply have my foot fitted to the shoe without regard to the size, and they wear longer and better than even the so- called mannish shoes sold for women.’ Shirt waists, or shirt.blouses, as some fashion makers call them, present few novel: features, though the bishop sleeves, slight- ly bloused front and long waisted effect continue to be. popular features. A waist with a pompadour neck opens a little at the side,and is bloused slightly at the belt. But it fits smoothly over. the bust and the square neck is filled in with tacking. A band of black velvet outlines the square are bishop in fashion and have deep pointed has ite fronts‘sepirated to reveal a chemi- sette vest. The chemisette is visible above the bust, and below that are the vest sec- tions. arranged in double-breasted style. Graduated revers of embroidery sloping to- ward the neck outline the edges of the chemisette.. The sleeves are gathered at the elbow into deep cuffs, which are trim- med with embroidery like that of which the revers are made. A turned-over collar of the embroidery . over a soft collar of the same material as the chemisette completes the waist. A waist having tucks placed in a novel fashion is another variety of blouse. The waist opens over a square neck, which is bordered by a narrow hertha of lace, which is cariied down to the waist line on either side of the front, revealing a narrow line of vest. The tucks are placed just be- low the yoke. and confine the fullness which is allowed to blouse at the belt. Elbow sleeves with turned back cuffs may complete the waist, or there may be the addition of plain sleeves pointed over the hand. The yoke is carried around the back, which is slightly gathered into the belt. The surpliced waist and the Norfolk waist will be popular with women who have grown tired of blouse effects. The former is carried smoothly over the bust, and there is but little fullness allow- ed to appear at the waist line. The Nor- folk waist is still plainer and is a little straw which shows which way the wind of popular favor is likely to blow. The flat pleats which in the Norfolk .waist of a decade ago used to reach to the shoulder are now hidden above the bust by a point- ed yoke which separates in front to reveal a plain single-breasted vest buttoned to the throat with small buttons. In the back the yoke extends smoothly across the shoulders and has a point between the two side hox pleats. There is a military col- lar and close-fitting coat sleeves. The vogue of the box pleat is assured. It figures on everything from’ lingerie to tailor-mades. On the shirt waist it is in its glory. It flourishes on tailory blouses and coats. ¢ As for skirts; it has come back: to its old love,and flare supreme at the back in single blessedness. a : All in Green.—A pretty girl has just brought home with her a stunning tailor made gown in green. .

The time to change is as illusive as the frog’s to-morrow, which never comes.”’ And the giver of this sage advice shook her head gravely over some instances of the truth of this statement which had come to notice in the course of conversation. Did you ever notice a person who was trying to behave better than customary ? He has been nsed to passing in at the back door; see how he hangs back from every front entrance ! He has been wont to tilt his chair on two legs, and now braces him- self to keep it on four; but back it tips, the moment he forgets. The wife of a young minister was morti fied by finding other people’s table-napkins in her wash. She traced them. to her hus- band’s pockets. - He had been brought up to use his handkerchief for a napkin. Now, on honored D. D., he is still caught pocket- ing napkins. In weighty matters it is the same. Lips used to speak untruthful or profane words, will drop them when least desired. A ven- erable deacon, his heart full of loving-kind- ness, was depositing a gift of.a barrel of flour, at his pastor's gate, when the head came out, followed by its contents. The minister ranning to his aid, was astonished to hear that honored tongue cursing luck and a barrel. ‘I swore:till I'was thirty,’ explained the humbled deacon. A physician was moving to a town which had been truthfully defined as ‘‘Five churches, seventy-five groggeries and the ‘devil ahead.’’ Said a friend to the doctor, “You may find a fortune, but you will lose your boys.”’ “The habits of my boys are formed,” replied the father. His two boys were eight and ten years. They lived eight years in that town, fitted for college in its public schools, and never even inclined to the evil prophesied for them. The father evidently had good reason for confidence in the good habits early formed in the home. The man in small matters and in great, shows us what he was in boyhood; the woman, what she was in girlhood. A Wealthy Man to Answer for Muar- der. The holding of W. H. Ward, a wealthy resident of Lawrence county, S. D., to the next term of the circuit court on the charge of murdering Leeand Kirk Sheppard, boys who lived with him, is another chapter in a mysterious crime. The mystery attending the sudden dis- appearance of the two boys, for whom searching parties had been looking for five weeks, was partially solved a few days ago when the remains of a humun being were unearthed not far from Ward’s cabin, in a thinly settled part of Lawrence county. They were partially identified as those | of Lee Sheppard, aged 20, who was known to have gone to Ward’s cabin on the night of June 30th, and had not been seen since. As the lad’s younger brother, Kirk, aged 16th, bad disappered three weeks before, and had last been seen with Ward, sus- picion was aroused. : A few days after Ward also disappeared, and took up his residence in the western part of the state, He bad little intercourse with his neighbors,and his place was seidom visited by any of them. He stoutly de- clares his innocence. : ————————————E—————— President McKinley Carries an Insur- ance of $50,000 on His Life. The attack on the President has brought to the front the information that Mr. Me- Kinley carries $50,000 insurance on his: life, distributed among a number of com- panies. In discussing the matter an in- surance expert said that a man in the Pres- ident’s position was considerable of a risk, owing to the danger from assassins, but most companies are glad to take it for the advertisement they thus receive. The same man said that only two men in this country carry $1,000,000 life’ insurance. They are George Vanderbilt, of New York, and George W. Paney, of St. Louis. Chas. M. Schwab, he said, is the wealthiest man in the country who does not carry any in- surance. A ————————E———— Poor Maw. Mr. Flushing (hospitably)—So you have joined our club!
