Pemortaiic atc, Bellefonte, Pa., September 27, 1901. FARM NOTES. —When the hay crop is short the farmer with a long crop of corn can cut it up with a harvester and shred it at the right time, and the shredded feed makes a very good substitute for hay. —Clean off the asparagus tops, burn them, and also burn the surface of the bed by using any dry material, in order to kill all insects or other enemies on the bed. Cover the bed thickly with well rotted manure, allowing it to remain until spring. —Onions keep best in a dry location, dampness being injurious. If they become _ frozen they should be kept so, or thawed very slowly. They should not be stored in boxes or barrels, bust in shallow recep- tacles. If spread out on the floor of the garret or barn loft and covered with hay or straw when frozen they should keep in sound condition until spring. —Poultrymen who have cows and bave surplus milk have a decided advantage over those who do not. Milk is hoth food and drink, and at this season is especiaily bene- ficial to the growing birds. A safe way to supply it is to heat it scalding het, and when it has cooled let them drink as much as they want within an hour in the morn- ing. It should then be disposed of and the vessel cleaned. Rotten milk is little better than poison. —The calf should be gently handled from the start. The future disposition of the cow depends upon her treatment when young. To make a gentle milker the calf should never receive a blow or harsh word, in order that it may bave confidence in the attendants, and it will not thereafter be nervous. It should be rubbed, brushed, petted, fed from the hand and the teats and udder frequently handled. Itis easier to break in a calf than to worry with a vicious kicking cow. —A good time, if not the best to cut timber or fell trees is in mid summer, when the leaves are full grown. If the trees are cut from the 1st of June to the first of Sep- tember and left two or three weeks until the green leaves are dried before 2utting or splitting, the leaves willdraw the sap from the body of the tree and thus quickly sea- son the wood and prevent sap rot and worms. The 1st of August is one of the best times to deaden trees says Field and Farm. —1It is only two months before the de- mand for turkeys will be heavy, and any cure given the growing turkeys, or even the adults, will pay when the birds reach the market. Turkeys will not thrive if closely confined, and they prefer high places for roosting. They frequently be- come lame by alighting from high limbs to the ground, for which reason they should have a roosting shed when young soas to be’ taught to prefer such roosts to the trees. Young turkeys sometimes die of what is termed vertigo, but usually the difficulty is that the large grey lice are at work on the skins of the head, necks aud bodies, the birds being tormented to death. A few drops of melted lard on the head once a week is an excellent preventive and rem- edy for the large lice. —Some farmers and gardeners have a compost heap for providing fine manure to flower plants and tender vegetables. Com- post is simply fresh manure mixed with muck, dirt or any absorbent material that is in fine condition. The heap is kept un- der cover, and if a large supply of material has been collected, making a bulky heap, the soapsuds and urine are thrown upon the mass. It must be worked over so as to secure decomposition of all the materials, and if it heats too much moredry dirt must be added. If the farmers would treat all the manure made on his farm as so much compost there would be a great saving of plant food. The principal value of com- post is its fine mechanical condition and its careful handling under shelter. —If you come in from a drive and the horses legs are wet, rab them dry before you leave them. Never leave mud on the legs of horses, whether they are clipped or not. The mud closes the pores of the skin and checks the insensible perspiration, and in a very little time you will have a case of mud poisoning or scratches which may be difficult tocure. The mud may be al- lowed to dry and then be cleaned off and out of the hair thoroughly, but should never be left on all night. An old broom, cut off so it is stiff and stubhy, is good to take off the thickest, and finish up with a whisk of straw or a coarse cloth. This keeps up healthy circulation in the legs and makes them healthier and stronger. —Wheat fluctuates in weight according to the dryness of the air. The extent of this variation. under ordinary conditions does not exceed 6 per cent. but where the grain is taken from an intensely dry cli- mate to a comparatively damp one the gain may amount to 25 per cent. Oats stored in the fall lost in one in- stance over three per cent.by the following May, less than 2 per cent. in the second in- stance and exactly 2 per cent. in the third and in a fourth lost but seven pounds in 100 bushels. Corn, when the entire plant is stored in the silo, suffers a very considerable loss in weight. Asan average of four tests this loss amounted to 8.25 per cent. In other cases the loss varied from 14.57 to 20.36 per cent. When the entire plant is cured in the field, subsequent variations in weight are determined by the dryness of the air. At the Connecticut station, where 27.36 tons of corn were cot Sept. 1st into shocks, hauled to the barn later and stored for fod- der, the gross weight was but 4.8 tons. On Feb. 8th following the weight was 7.5 tons. In a duplicate test 25.5 tons of green corn weighed but 5.2 tons on Nov. 11th and gained to 8.5 tons by Feb, 8th. When the corn is _husked in the field, the loss of weight suffered by the ears de- pends on their condition when hauled to the crib. * Very damp corn cribhed early in October shrunk in weight 30 per cent. by the middle of February, while dry corn cribbed Oct. 21st bad shrunk by the last of January 11 per cent. In another case corn very dry when hauled shrunk by New Year’s less than 3 per cent. At the Iowa station the loss in an entire station was 20 per cent. in one case and 9 per cent. in an- other. The relation between the weights of kernels and cob does not stay constant as the ears dry. When first husked, fully 25 per cent. of the weight of the ear lies in the cob. An elaborate set of experiments at Houghton showed that the shelled corn lost in weight but about 7:45 per cent. from October to March, while the cobs lost FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. The Clean City club is the name of Chi- cago’s latest club. It is composed of chil- dren and was organized several months ago by Miss Gertrude Howe, the head of the children’s club work at Hull House. From a handful of children, it has grown into an organization of more than 1,000 members. Each child promises to pick up and destroy at least one piece of paper from the streets every day. When the street re- ceptacles are full, the children take their pieces home or to the Hull Houseand burn them. Once in awhile when there are ex- tra accumulations, a jubilee bonfire takes place. Spirits of camphor will quickly remove the white spots on polished wood surfaces made from the spilling of spirits or from too hot plates. A large and serious stain caused by the breaking of a bottle of brandy and the spilling of its contents on a mantle was entirely eradicated by an apph- cation of spirits of camphor. The camphor must be wiped off quickly, and in this case the surface was wiped over afterward with a soft cloth upon which a few drops of good furniture polish had heen poured. In answer to the question : ‘‘Who is the greatest woman in all history ?’’ pus to 200 Macon county (Mo. ) teachers Miss Nannie Vickroy, of Macon, made a unique answer, which was awarded the prize for its origin- ality. Miss Vickroy passed Queen Victor- ia, Frances Willard, Helen Gould and other women whose names were the most popular, and declared : ‘‘The wife of the Missouri farmer of moderate means, who does her own cooking, washing and iron- ing, brings up a large family of boys and girls to he useful members of society and finds time for her own intellectual and moral improvement is ‘‘the greatest woman in all history.” A good model for you to follow for your cloth gown has the new bodice yelept the military coat. This is a tight-fitting, double-breasted, three-quarter-length af- fair. It is only fastened as far as the waist. It has a distinct style of its own, and is strictly tailor finished. Twenty black vel- vet flattened buttons close this on the left side. Although arranged in a straight row, the buttons are made to appear as if in groups of five on account of the decoration of ornamental stitching. From each of five buttons a line of machine stitching runs to a point on the right side, slightly beyond the middle of the waist. The lines of ma- chine stitching converge at the point, mak- ing ornamental triangles of stitching,and in connecting the groups of five buttons ap- parently detach them from the others in line. There are twenty velvet buttons, and so arranged in groups of five we have four triangle patterns of machine stitching. Below the waist the long skirts of our mil- itary coat are edged with a double row of machine stitching. The designs in stitch- ing simulate braiding in soutache but are considered rather more novel. The pat- terned rows of stitching decorate the collar, the coat front and the gauntlet upturned cuffs. - The cuffs are stitched in rows for almost their entire height. The tailored skirts accompanying the military coat has heen made up on a circu- lar foundation, finished with a dust ruffle. The feature is the graduated flounce rising high in tbe back.. Above the flounce are: nine rows of machine stitching sweeping upward toward the back. This serves as a heading for ornamental stitching on the flounce, a design of triangles resting on the broad base. The Norfolk jacket with the short skirt is a prime favorite this fall for walking suits. . The single breasted Norfolk jacket is made with tight-fitting front and a little skirt effect over the hips ; the sleeves with cuffs instead of being plain. The skirt bas seven gores, and flares, with a deep facing around the bottom finished with stitching. The seams are lapped and the back of the skirt is entirely new this fall, with an in- verted pleat. It has no lining. Straps and stitched folds contine as the favored trimmings for cloth gowns. The straps are often fastened down with but- tons, which often harmonize with the gown. Lacings of black velvet or satin are almost a necessity on a fashionable gown. They are used on almost everything except a tailor-made. Skirts and corsage alike are slashed and then laced up with velvet ribbons. Or the front of the bolero or cor- sage is laced across the chemisette. The half and three-quarter length coats, made in flowered silk, cloth and velvet, will be very much worn this coming season as outside garments. Cut-out cloth will he used extensively as trimming, both on velvet and silk. Do you know how to make French knots ? Too bad, if you don’t, because French knots you must have, and it costs a neat little sum of money to order them done. You know what they are. of course. Just dots made by thread scattered along a cloth surface in regular geometrical pro- cessions or in scattered groups. Half the modish women one sees these days in the country are busy with needle and thread making these knots. No mat- ter if they haven’t any special use for them at this time they know how much they will be needed when the fall and winter frocks are being put together. : Knots of white thread put on fine hem- stitched muslin bands may be used on thin blouses for the winter, for there is no doubt that this winter will sanction the fashion of the various thin white blouses to be worn under a plain or elaborate jacket. Louisine will be the fashionable fabric for dressy blouses to be worn with band- some cloth suits, and French knots look immensely well on the bands that go to making collar, cuffs and front box pleat. Black knots on white are charming. Try making some on bands of white taf- feta and see how stylish the result is! Then hemstitch these bands and apply them to the white blouse you will surely have $his winter, with cat-stitching of black silk. See if your friends don’t admire it! The color of the eyes should determine the choice of dress and millinery. A blonde may wear pure white with ad- vantage, hut the brunette nearly always looks better in cream colored fabrics This ought to be more generally recog- nized. . Brown eyes and brown dress go well to- gether. Blue-eyed girls should wear blue as often as possible. slim figures. shoulders. fully 36 per cent. The tan shades are not often suitable for Black satin intensifies the effect of round Dull black is the best choice for a fair- haired woman, while a brunette must or- der something brilliantly black if she ‘| really wishes to look her best. From Hobart, the New Town tn Okla- homa. The following interesting information about how the government conducts its lottery and the way they build towns in the South-west was written by Daniel Mec- Bride, a well known former resident of this well worth reading. I suppose S.—wrote you about the unex- pected streak of good luck that came to me recently. Just for curiosity, I ‘‘Registered”’ for a ‘Farm’ in this new country. My name came out of the lottery wheel the very first day,from among one hundred and sixty- seven thousand names. I can’t say that I wanted it or cared anything about it— though S—kept urging me in every letter to me, to Register—Register—Register. Well, as so on as I found that I had drawn a farm, I got a govemm entma and began to look up where I ought to locate it. After careful examination I decided to choose it as close to Hobart as possible, principally be- cause there are scarcely any Indian allot- . ments here—that means that thisisa white man’s country—a land owner’s country—not a renters country on Indian lands. Common sense teaches that an owner will improve his farm more than renters will. So I came here and spent four days looking the im- mediate country over carefully—taking notes as I walked around all four sides of the fu- ture town, for say three miles out. Then I went back to El-Reno land office and *'Filed,” as it is called,—that is, naming where I wanted my farm. My number was 371. When your number is called out you go in and name where you want your farm, from any not yet ‘‘Filed’’ on. I got mine one and a-half miles east and half a mile south of this nice, new town—the county seat of Kiowa county. It is as smooth and nice a 160 acre farm as I ever saw—not a square rod of land but what can be plowed—it is simply magnificent for wheat or cotton or grass. It will makea dandy dairy farm, or just the thing in a few years to pasture town cows by the month— instead of plowing and raising crops that takes hard labor. The tops of the houses in town can be seen from it. I am going to have a well bored soon—they get good water at 35 feet. They bore that in one day. And I am going to build a house and plant a large number of trees this fall, so as to make it look home-like as soon as possible. Trees grow so fast in this country that in a very few years the house will be hidden by trees and shrubbery. Settlement must be made inside of six months. In six months from now every 160 acres will have a settler on it. Government land is getting so scarce that people areas hungry as wolves for it. A great many women and girls drew farms. A girl bank clerk drew the one just north of mine. She and her widowed mother are going tomove on it right away. She is as tickled over her luck asa little boy with his first pair of pants The first night I was here I slept on a blanket laid on the wild prairie I looked up at the stars, and listened to the wolves and coyotes yelping close around till I fell asleep, and slept soundly till daylight. There were probably not more than 100 people here then, half of them lying out like myself, the rest in tents. Two trains came in during the night and brought say 300 peo- ple. The next day 500 more came, and the second night at least 1,000 came, and they Reps coming that way until about 3,000 were ere. They took the census last week for incor- poration purposes, and found 3,600 people here. Itis estimated that 1,500 men are at work building houses. Five weekly newspapers are issued already here; 13 lumber yards; 3 banks; several stores bigger than any in Bellefonte. About every kind of business you could name. The last Legislature appropriated $65.000 for the erec- tion of another Normal school. The commit- tee to select a location was here last week and were so pleased with Hobart that they said if Hobart would give 40 acres of land and $5,000 they would locate it here. The people at once said they would raise it. One man gave the land, and they raised $5,547 at once and sent a citizen’s committee to the government to secure the school. We expect word this afternoon that we have secured the school. They are beginning a $35,000 court house, and putting in telephone at once, and are getting ready for electric light and water plants. I never saw such a quick change from a wild prairie to a live, bustling city. Five different denominations have preachers al- ready and gathering up congregations. I at- tended Presbyterian Sunday school and preaching yesterday. Miss Minnie Johnson, a great big 200 pound girl, a Kansan born, an Evangelist and organizer of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,gave an address last night in the Methodist tent. I never heard a woman talk like she can. She isa graduate ot the University of Kansas, a seholar and a very pleasant talker. She has such a good big, round voice. There is not one negro here, and they won't allow any to come. Only a few In- dians—not over a dozen. They haul wood and watermelons to town to sell—and to sell ponies—at from $10 to about $18. You read about Lone Wolf, who tried so hard to stop the government from opening this new coun- try. He lives about four miles from Hobart. He has a son who isa graduate of Harvard University, and a shrewd, sharp lawyer. It was he, really, who put it in his father’s head to make trouble. I can get $2,000 now for my farm, but I will not sell it. Since buying lot for Willie it bas become almost in the centre of town and is becoming quite valuable. I paid $370 for it and I could double my money alreadv. 370 and 371 seem to be my lucky numbers. But enough about Hobart. I hope to hear soon that you are coming to S. I almost for- got tosay that I am building a store build- ing for Willie. Wishing you well, Iam ery kindly, DANIEL McBRIDE. ——*So you lent Harbinger the money, did yon?” “Yes.” 2 ‘What did he say !”’ *‘He promised to pay with alacrity.” ‘‘He did, eh? Well, let me tell you this; if there's one thing that’s scarcer with him than money, it’s alacrity.’’—7it-Bits. ' place, in a letter to a relative here and is Romance of Pekin) Siege. Miss Laura Conger Becomes Ligutenant Buch | Bride. The marriage of Miss Laura Conger, | daughter of Minister Edwin H. Conger, to | Lieut. Fred. C. Buchan, United States army, was celebrated Friday evening at the ! residence of Mr. and Mrs. J.'S. Me Connell, 4539 Lake avenue, Chicago. Miss Conger was with her parents at Pekin during the siege and Lieutenant Buchan was with the American forces in the relief column. The wedding was small owing to the fact that the bride’s father was unable to leave Pekin, and only about 25 relatives were present at the cer- emony. Mrs. McConnell is Mr. Conger’s sister. Miss Conger was attended by her cousins, Miss Mary C. Pierce and Miss Lavinia Pike McConnell. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr.J. W. Hanson. The bride was attired in a princess gown of white embroidered crape, trimmed with duchess lace, and carried lilies of the val- ley. : Among those present were the bride’- mother, Mrs. Conger, the father and moth er of the groom, Mr.and Mrs. W. J. Buchan. Anxious to Sec Assassin Die. In the belief that Czolgosz will be ex- ecuted in Auburn N.
