FARM NOTES. —1In caring for young pigs see that the pen is kept clean, so that the pigs will have a clean, dry bed and that they are al- lowed to go out either with their mother or without her for exercise before they are two weeks old. This will prevent them being overfed, and they will not be troubled with thumps which often kills pigs confined in a close pen. — Hogs, especially on succulent food, are subject to indigestion, caused by overload- ing the stomach and consequent fermenta- tion of the food mass. rection for this is the mixture of sali, lime and charcoal, with or without wood ashes or with wood ashes substituted for the lime. Itisa good absorbent, deodorizer and antiputrefactive. Every hog raiser should keep an abundance of it where the hogs can take it at will. —To make a disinfectant whitewash that will thoroughly purify your hen coops and kill every mite proceed as follows: “Mix one ponnd of blue vitrol, one pound of copperas with ten gallons of water, boil and let cool ; add one pint sulphuric acid, and then add six gallons more of water. Be careful of explosion and of getting the mix- ture on your hands or clothing. It is a seething caldron. This mixture will clean up everything.in sight, for it is a thorough disinfectant. : —A Maryland strawberry grower says : “My way of handling old strawberry rows, which I wish to keep for another year is as follows : As soon as they are done bearing I mow off the tops as close as possible, and then apply well-rotted manure, bone meal, if I have 15, and wood ashes. This is ap- plied when the weather is damp. After mowing I burn the stalks and leaves. It is now easy to remove all weeds and culti- vate close to the plants. This is the time to pile on the fertilizer. Plants then start out a new growth and make a fine bed by fall, when I cover them with straw after the gronnd freezes." To handle roll butter successfully, and have it retain some of its freshness till sold, you must wrap each rollin muslin that has heen washed to get out the sizing and dip- ped in astrong salt brine. This brine will crystallize over the muslin and help to keep the air from it, and if you pack in boxes, line the box in like manner with muslin and pack close so as not to shake while in transit. Be sure not to pack poor rolls with the good. You had better put them in the grease tub or fling them out of the back door. By all means ship your hutter fresh. Do not hold for a higher market, as some do, and sell it for grease. —Though the Isabella is no longer considered a desirable variety for table pur- poses by our specialists and the dealers, it is still “worthy of some attention by the rural home huilder. It is especially hardy, quite vigorous, and usually supplies, with a minimum amount of care, a fairly good crop of palatable fruit, more of which should be eaten by our people. It isan excellent variety for jelly making, and grape jelly rates very high in the estima- tion of the American housewife. It is like- wise one of the best varieties from which to make grape juice—i. e., unfermented grape juice—for which there is a steadily growing demand in one form or another. —One tablespoonful of gasoline and four ounces of sweet milk well shaken together is a good dose for stomach worms in sheep weighing anywhere from 60 to 100 pounds. The quantity of milk may be reduced or increased slightly without detrimental re- sults. : Each sheep or lamb should be set on his rump and so held that he will not struggle while the dose is given as a drench, and his head should not be thrown back farther than the natural position while standing. This stomach worm treatment should be given only after 12 to 18 hours fasting, and neither water nor feed should be given in- side of two hours after giving the medi- cine. Treatment should be given three days consecutively, then repeated one. week or ten days later for the same number of days. —We are too apt to neglect the weeds in the fall, partly because we think the crops are so nearly matured that they will not be much injured by them and partly be- cause it is not convenient to work among nearly full grown plants. Then, too, the frequent showers and cool nights allow many plants to revive and take root again and go on to the perfecting of seed. This is all wrong. It is seeding for another year’s crop of weeds,and if these fall weeds were destroyed each year and those along the edges of the field cus down as often as they are tall enough, soon the work of _ weeding would be greatly reduced. There “are some crops that when well grown so cover the ground as to prevent weeds from getting much start, as do turnips and cab- bages, bust even in them a few weeds like ragweed, pigweed, roman wormwood and heartweed will show above the plants. Pall them up and carry them off the field. Rake off purslane and carry it away. Some of these grow thousands of seeds on each plant, A good pile of them will heat and rot so 23 to destroy the vitality of most of the weeds. —We are often asked what is the best substitute to use when there is not a suffi- ciency of fresh milk to be given to the calves. In our own experience we have not found anything better than a mucilage or soup made up of linseed meal or ground linseed cake, with the addition of a little flour and pea meal. An American breeder, in the course of a communication to one of our contemporaries, claims to have obtained excellent results from the use of a prepara- tion made by slowly boiling one pound of fresh sweet bay in six quarts of water for about an hour, and straining the decoction so obtained into a bucket to cool. A hand- ful of oil cake and a similar quantity of fine oatmeal is stirred into a half gallon of boil- ing water and allowed to simmer for the the same length of time that the hay is stewing. At the end of that time this mix- ture is added to the hay tea, and the whole given to the calf along with a little milk. The ‘‘tea’’ should be given warm at firs, but after awhile, when the calf becomes ac- customed to it, it may be given quite cold without any injurious results. The allow- ance of oil cake may he increased as progresses. The writer.in question claims that calves so reared are in every way as good when four to five months of age as if they were getting milk right through.— i Creamery.

As women grow older they are very often able to wear colors which in their youth they found unbecoming. Green, for in- stance, may be unsuitable in early life, but later on certain shades of the color may be chosen with decided advantage. Blue and pink that made youth attractive often prove unsatisfactory to women of middle age. Toa girl of 20 black is sometimes strikingly becoming, but much less so to older women, unless cream silk or satin, lace or net. or some redeeming color, is in- troduced, for if a woman looks at all well in black garments she usually looks ex- ceedingly well. How to relieve—with white or certain color contrasts—black at- tire is important to all women of middle age who give thought to dress. Pockets for women ! They are actually noted this fall on outing suits, especially on those intended for hunting, fishing, bik- ing and the like. Two pockets which may be found without theaid of a secret service man certainly put womankind in the pos- session of long coveted rights. Further- more the pockets are taut and trim, being set on under the hox-pleat strapping. One is at the left breast, the other at the left front of the skirt, seven inches below the waist line. The strapping, which outlines the front gore, on the skirt, and the Nor- folk jacket effect on the blouse, is. broken at each pocket, the pointed top end part over-lapping and buttoning to the lower end. With this scheme the pockets simply cannot become baggy or otherwise un- sightly. The most important point in the treat- ment of burns is to at once exclude theair. Cottonwool saturated with sweet oil is a safe and effective application. Do not re- move the dressing until the irritation has subsided. In the country mothers often cover: their children’s burns with flour. Vaseline will sometimes be sufficient. If the air is kept away nature will generally restore the tissmes without other assist- ance. : Table oil or fresh butter rubbed imme- diately on a slight bruise will prevent swelling or disfigurement. But if the bruise is severe a little raw beefsteak is better. A slight bruise’ may often he best treated by a compress wet with witch hazel. To tell fungi from mushrooms.—If you are boiling them, put an onion into the saucepan. If the onion remains white, the mushrooms are all right ; if it turns black, they are poisonous. Or sprinkle a little salt on the pink underpart ; if black, they are good to eat. A good washing fluid may be made as follows ; Mix five pounds of salsoda and one pound of borax together. Pour over this one gallon of boiling water and stand it aside to cool. Then take one-half pound of fresh, unslaked lime and four ounces of ammonia, pouring over the lime one gallon of hot water. When this has entirely settled, carefully pour off the clear fluid and turn it upon the dissolved borax and soda, adding to the whole eight gallons of cold water. In using, add six table- spoonfuls of this liquid to a tubful of water. There is quite a noticeable change in the direction of the waist line. There is no doubt hut that the ultra long-waisted blouse effect in the front of a bodice has been overdone. The reaction is not ex- treme, but we begin to see the swing of the pendulum. The long-waisted effect is no longer exaggerated. There isa new way of obtaining the fashionable slant from back to frout, without unduly depressing the middle of the waist line in front. The belt defines the waist line exactly in the middle of the back, but for two inches on- ly. Each side of this suddenly rises high and straight, elevated at least two inches above the middle, and from that point it slants outward and downward toward the front, and is only an inch or so below the real waist line, where the belt clasps occur. To preserve this contour will be the aim of the fashionable dressmaker, and so their workshops are now crowded with blouses and bodices illustrative of this new mode. How broad and strong are the sensible shoes now worn by school girls! No wise mother will attempt to compress either the waist line or the foot of her little daughter. Little girls should be ‘‘expansionists’’ and bave full chance to acquire the capital of health and strength, upon which they must draw in adult life. A ‘“‘skin tight’’ dress is a mistake, even if the little maid has a thick waist. It is a shame to put stays or tight underclothing on a little girl before she is 14 years old. She is really a child and should enjoy a child’s privilege of wearing loose, warm, light clothing which does not interfere with her movements whatever. The sleeves of the immediate future are certainly legion. The epaulet has gone out and the cuff or broad wristband bas come in. Some of the newest fit the arm closely above the elbow ; where they are puffed, and these are made in lace as well as in thinner materials. Many of the cuffs turn back at the wrist. A novel method of trimming a gown is to concentrate most of the decoration upon the hips. A skirt may he made quite plain below, near the hem, and have the narrow- ly gored front breadth and back breadth almost entirely plain. Yet the hips are singled out to display an intricate arrange- ment of braided straps, an inch wide all of them, but not always of the same mate- rial. Velvet bands bias cut, are worked in and out with woolen bands, making a sort of artistic *‘plaiding’’ or basket work. The side panels thus show hip trimming in woven straps, which ply ‘‘one up and one down’ or ‘‘one up and two down,’ ete, like the pattern which children use in kindergarden games. This leaves the front gore hanging plain like a narrow apron. In short, the panel is called a tablier. All the basket work stops short directly at the tablier. If a woman is graceful, the hip trim- mings are emphasized by her every move- ment, and they will be found becoming. The hip trimming begins at the waist line and is continued downward for exactly the space of one-quarter of a yard. Remember to keep the straps one inch in ‘width. Anything wider would tend to burlesque the natural size ot the hips, and age | anything more narrow would iose its style. The greatest variety of lace collars ever known in the history of the trade is to be found this fall. All the modish lace effects in collars, with and without cuffs, boleros and waists, have been thus adapted to modern use. From Ireland come these dainty accessories to the wardrobe, in Irish point, Carrickma- oross and Limerick. Those Disagreeable Traits. One of the gravest mistakes made by parénts and those who have the care of chil- dren is a systematic effort to crush out of the child qualities simply because they are disagreeable to growing people. Thus the object of training is often nothing more than to make of the child a pleasant, pretty thing to have about the house. This is often ruinous to the child. Its welfare requires that every trait which may be of use to it in manhood or womanhood should be trained, not crushed. Training says, ‘My son, let me show you something better to do.”’ Crushing says : ‘‘Quit that. Do it again and I'll wear the life out of you,” a threat more truly kept than ex- pected, even by the child. Some of the most valuable traits of char- acter in the man or woman were in the un- reasoning and exaggerated days of child- hood the most annoying to parent and teacher. Now, there is Billy out there in the yard beating that old tin pan again. A week ago he pounded on it until the family nerve was practically wrecked. The pan was hid. That boy has hanted for it every day since. He just now found it, and listen at the victory in its bang! bang! bang! Stubborness ? Contrariness? We call it so in a child. In a man it is perseverance, stick-to-it-iveness. It is disagreeable now. It would be pleasanter for usif Billy would sit quietly in a corner and count his toes. But if that quality is trained, when Billy is a man it will be a quality that will win him vietory out of a hundred defeats. Tommy bas been to the creek, fell in, and nearly drowned. Two weeks ago he climbed to the top of a tree and fell—but caught on a limb. The father had to climb the tree and get him down. Last spring a colt threw him and broke his arm. Break his spirit trying to break his courage ? Never. Train that courage, and some day he will be a man who will walk up the path of duty, even if death be in the way. Little Lena marks on every smooth sur- face. Strange, nonsensical marks. She spoils something. Whip her and tell her never to mark again ? Yes, if you are un- wise, that is what you will do, or if you care more for a bit of something than your child. If you are wise, give the child something to draw upon. Show her what she may and may not use. Some day Lena may draw lines on canvass that will thrill the world’s heart with beauty. er The wild impulsiveness of this ehild i always getting it into trouble. It is very annoying, we admit that. Attempt to crush it, the child becomes timid, "fearful of doing anything. Train it, and after a while that impulsiveness will be the con- trolled, directed enthusiasm that does all life’s great deeds. .Like the beginning of mountain brooks, the manifestations of the fine qualities are usually noisy and turbulent. It may hea long way before they can be blended into the still waters of a mighty stream. But herein is our work, and why work at all unless with intelligent purpose ? The child must be active; to stop its activity without giving it something better to do is worse than foolish. ‘‘Don’ts’’ are the devil’s brickbats, and they have driven more children into his nets than all the li- cense parents ever granted. Direction, not opposition, is the main principle of all true training.—American Mother. Remarkable Railroad Accident, A fast west-bound passenger train on the Falls branch of the New York Central rail- road Satruday at 5:30 a. m., struck and killed two horses belonging to super- visor James H. Redman, of the town of Hamlin. By one of those miracles of for- tune the driver of the team, Walter Smith, was not injured physically. His nerve centres were somewhat disarranged, how- ever, and his breath came in short bursts for several minutes after the train had dis- appeared around the curve in a cloud of smoke and dust. The scene of the catastro- phe was at the railroad crossing in the town of Gates, not far from Barhite’s hotel. Railroad men consider the accident one of the most remarkable on record. The horses were struck straight in the middle of their bodies, cut from the wagon as if by a knife and burled over a fence into a neighboring lot, stone dead. The wagon was loaded with eggs and butter. The fact that'not an egg was broken adds evi- dence to the peculiarity of the happening. Smith got another team and came to Rochester with the wagon loaded and de- livered its contents as usual. Smith said that the team had just step- ped on the track when he was paralyzed with horror at hearing and the next second seeing the huge form of a locomotive rush- ing at him. It struck, the horses disap- peared, the train shrieked by and Smith picked himself up from the hottom of the wagon to see in front of him vacancy. The horses had been swept away as if by magic. He found them as has been described in the field near by. The wagon was not damaged, nor was an egg broken.—Ro- chester Union. ¢ Conundrums. When bas a bad baker the best goods? When both are short and crusty. Why is a hair restorative like a rigid house wife ? One preserves the locks, the other locks the preserves. Why are the Philippine soldiers appar- ently the happiest of men. They go away and come home in transports.. ‘What author would make a good Othel- lo ? Blackmore. ETE, Fall Painting and Repapering. Predicted His Death. William Zimmerman, a Prominent Westmoreland County Farmer, as a Prophet. In the early mail on Saturday morning Undertaker Stmon P. Zimmerman, of Mt. Pleasant, received a letter from William Zimmerman, a prominent fagmer of near Lonegal. “I’m going to die,’’ it read, ‘‘and if you want tosee me alive youn had better come out to-day.” An hour later Undertaker Zimmerman received a telephone message from Donegal telling him of the death of William Zim- merman and asking him to come to his late home and prepare the body for inter- ment. \ Mr. Zimmerman had been a sufferer from melancholia for several weeks, it is stated. To members of his family he said that he felt that death was near at hand and that On Friday afternoon be was in Donegal. He stopped at the home of Mrs. James Gearhart. She offered him a glass of cider and as he raised it to his lips he said : “1°11 drink this cider and then I'm go- ing home to die.” At his home that evening he spoke again and again of his belief that be would not live long. His family endeavored to dis- pel the hallucination from his mind, but he persisted in saying that he was going to die and he went to bed firm in the belief that he had passed his last day on earth. On Saturday morning he arose, and hav- ing partially dressed, descended to the first floor of his home. He had just entered the kitchen, when he threw up his arms and with a convulsion fell to the floor. Mem- bers of the family lifted him to a couch and summoned a physician, but when medical aid came Mr. Zimmerman bad breathed his last. The dead man was about 60 years old and is the father of four grown children. —Greensburg Press. A FIENDISH ATTACK.—An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly proved fatal. It came, through his kidneys. Hisback got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions.
