A 3 ST Dewporaic atc, Bellefonte, Pa., October 25, 1901. FARM NOTES. - —The fattening period is on and the farmer will aim to convert a larg: portion of his corn into pork. As corn is rich in carbonaceous foods—oil and starch—it is considered essential in producing pork of good quality, and also to secure the great- est gain in weight in the shortest period of time. But with the ravages of hog cholera, and the changes in the breeds, as well as a demand in the makets for meat of choice quality, the question arises as to the advis- ability of using corn as an exclusive agent in the fattening process. Professor Henry in experiments made some time ago, show- ed that there were various advantageous modes of feeding hogs, and that farmers overlook the fact that the animals require much more mineral matter in their foods than is usually provided them, for it is well known that it is from the mineral elements that the bones are produced, and when the bone producing elements are lacking the animal canuot thrive. This was demon- strated by feeding wood ashes or bone meal, added in small quantities to the grain, with the result that a smaller quan- tity of grain is required to produce the same weight as from grain, thus showing that grain does not contain enough bone producing matter to promote growth of the animal. The growth of the animal is con- fined or restricted as long as any one ele- ment in its food is insufficiently provided. Three lots of hogs were fed to determine the effects of the use of mineral matter in comparison with corn, only one lot re- ceiving nothing but corn, another lot wood ashes with the corn, and another lot hone meal with the corn. For every 100 pounds live weight gained the pigs consumed 629 pounds of corn alone. Where ashes were added 491 pounds of corn produced 100 pounds live weight, and with bone meal and corn only 487 pounds of corn were re- quired to produce 100 pounds live weight gain in the pigs. These facts are conclusive that bone meal or ashes, given with eorn is more economical feeding than when corn is used exclusively. Experiments are not complete when con- fined to the only use of the food, for there is something to be demonstrated as to the cause of the results, and why the animals were more thrifty on one kind of food than on another, henee when the thigh bones of the pigs in each lot were analyzed and sub- jected to physical tests it was found that the quantity of ash present in the hones produced upon exclusively corn feeding weighed 107 grains, while 150 grains were present in the bones produced by feeding bone meaiand corn. Further the breaking strain = of the thigh bones: of the corn fed pigs was 301 pounds, and 581 pounds for the corn and ashes fed pigs, with 680 lbs, breaking strain for the thigh hones of the corn and bone meal fed pigs. The bones of the latter were, therefore, more than twice as strong as those of the corn fed pigs, and not only were the bones improved in strength and composition by the mineral feeding, hut the pigs were of larger size in consequence of the greater portion of bone. The mineral fed pigs were also more vigor- ous, their bodies were furnished with more blood, the muscles were much hetter devel- oped, they grew more rapidly, and were in better. condition in every respect. Pigs that were fed upon corn with potatoes and fat (deficient in miveral matter) showed less muscle and lean meat, had weaker bones, smaller livers and kidneys, and less hair, being also less vigorous, and making but slow growth. : In order that the inexperienced may un- derstand the subject better it is well to mention that ashes contain potash, lime and also some phosphate of lime. Bones contain phosphate of lime and a proportion of nitrogenous matter. It is probable that only a tablespoonful of bone meal at each feeding will be sufficient, but there are foods that contain mineral elements in abundance. It is the lime in the foods that so largely promotes the results en- tioned. There is so little lime in corn as to be almost of no consequence, as less than a pound is found in a ton of grain, while a ton of clover hay contains 45 pounds of lime. Hence, when feeding the pigs, if clover hay, finely cut and scalded or steam- ed, is fed in connection with the corn, not only will the mixed food be more easily and better digested, but more of the essen- tial mineral elements will be consumed. Bran, middliogs, skim milk and ordinary vegetable refuse will greatly assist in pro- viding lime, but the use of starchy foods or those rich in sugar will add nothing to the corn compared with the more concentrated feeding materials. In other words, to de- rive the greatest gain in the fattening of pigs they must be given a variety of food, of which corn should be prominent; but the custom has been to pen the hogs and give them all the corn they can consume, which is really very expensive feeding, for the reason that corn is lacking in the es- sential elements for promoting the forma- tion of hone, and when an animal is de- prived of any necessary element it not only does not thrive, but becomes weakly, dis- ease breaks out in the herd and cholera is assigned as the cause when really the diffi- culty is that the animals are starving he- cause they are surfeited with fat and starch, while being deprived of other elements of support. It may also be mentioned that the hog demands some bulky fcod and can- not be contented with such concentrated, heat producing food as corn alone, which is another evidence that variety gives pork as the lowest cost of food in the shortest per- iod of time, and with less expense for labor and care. ' i —The farmer whois satisfied with salted pork instead of the sugar cured article is not living up to his opportunities. Any farmer who has hogs to kill can have sugar cured pork if he wants it. The hams, shoulders and sidemeat should each have a separate barrel for best results. For each 100 pounds of meat take 10 gallons of wa- ter, 8 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of brown sugar and 1 ounce of saltpetre; boil all to- gether and let it cool. Rub meat with fine salt, pack closely in a barrel and weigh it down. Leaving it in the brine six weeks makes it all right for eating, and then it is lifted, drained and smoked: After that it is good enough for a king or any body. —To properly keep Hubbard squash through the winter use a dry room where the temperature can be kept above freezing. Squashes quickly mildew or rot when ex- posed to dampness; hence a dry location is more important than warmth. —Cut down the asparagus tops now and leave them on the bed. When they are dry burn them on the bed. If allowed to produce seed more work will be required next spring in keeping the bed clean. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. According to the girl who is studying art— Always think of your eyes when yoa buy a new frock or hat. Try for a shade in your dress or chapean that will ‘‘go’’ with the color of your orbs. Tucks and strips ranning downwards be- come the women of decided emboupoint, The slim and slinky girl—I am quoting the art student—should have the stripes and tucks running horizontally. A fat woman should never wear plaids. You would think everyone would know that, but that some do not, just watch and see ! Black satin intensifies the effect of round shoulders. Likewise, of undue plumpness. A florid complexion also. A small toque is very unbecoming above a large, round face. Dull black is especially effective for a fair haired woman. A slim brunette looks well in something brilliantly black. A blonde can generally wear pure white advantageously, Cream colored fabrics are becoming to the brunette. To whiten red, wrinkled hands and make them plump and smooth isa work of time. When young women or those of 35 com- plain of such hands the circulation is the fault and must be stimulated. Very hot baths for the entire body are the best treat- ment not only for reddish hand, but for red noses and swollen lips. Yet hot water is such a difficult luxury, to obtain even in smart houses that it is always recommend- ed with uncertainty, like a voyage to the Azores or a winter in Bermuda. Between the economics of the kitchen fire and the impossibilities of heating water by electric light or by fancy gas stoves, we will have to depend upon public baths for cleansing and taking cold on the way home, as most people do who use them. Friction, how- ever, is a matter of a coarse towel and brisk, dry rubbing. Gymnastics and health move- ments combine with the towel exercise, for few manuals bring muscles into play in such a variety of ways as the daily rub down with a big brown length of Turkish toweling. Taken by the ends and sawed across the shoulders, up and down the arms trunk and legs, rubbing lightly and swift- ly until the skin is all. aglow, the towel rubs away the dead particles and brings the blood into play. The feet should. have goal friction to keep them warm. Wom- ell who have cold feet in girlhood are apt to have red, thin bands and faces later in life. Special treatment for the bands re- quires daily application. Soak them at night in a basin of hot soapsuds with a spoonful of sweet oil stirred in. Then the oily water is rubbed off, and the back of each hand gently and swiftly rubbed with a good pomade, working it into the knuck- les. Next open and shut the hands 50 to 100 times, counting the motion ones by the clock and timing them by it afterwards in- stead of counting. The hands begin to im: prove under the friction very soon. Final- ly, ongoing to bed, rub the hands gener- ously ' with good ‘pomade, putting plenty on the finger tips, if the nails are brittle, and draw on easy fitting gloves. Thick joints and knobby knuckles require treatment which only a skilled specialist knows how toapply. 200! tase ¢ The waistline, which was placed higher among summer fashions than has of late years been the rule, is once more descend- ing, and ‘ic is generally agreed that the long waisted bodice will be the most fash- ionable for, the immediate future, except in case of the orthodox Empire robe, which still remains a favorite, though only for home or evening wear. On the other hand, the shoulder line, which, duiing the past few months, had sloping effect, is once again placed by many dressmakers quite on the top of the arm, and this will probably be the general rale, except for ball dress, when the shoulder and upper part of the arm are left bare, the excessively narrow sleeve falling below that point, through a single band or sever- al bands of very narrow velvet, in the form of straps, over the summit of the shoulder, sustain the bodice. A homely neck is woe toa pretty girl. She has caverns in front and blades in the rear and much anxiety is hers. Here is her salvation. Deep breathing first; head move- ments night and morning—30 minutes per diem—then the nightly use of the all help- ing lanoline. Persevere and you must be convinced by results. In Europe this ungent is used to put flesh upon baby skel- etons in hospitals. That somewhat paradoxical combination of ice cream with hot chocolate sauce grows in popular favor and is often urged on the score of greater digestibility. To make the sauce, puf into a saucepan four ounces of chocolate, half a cupful of milk and one cupful of sugar—the brown preferred. Stir |. until the chocolate is melted and cook un- til it waxes when dropped in cold water. Serve is a pretty pitcher, to be poured over the cold cream. Play frocks for children, of dimity, wash flannel, ete., made perfectly plain, just frilled into a neck band back and front are a new idea that is both sensible and con- venient. Tobacco brown velvet or velveteen makes an exceedingly swagger Russian blouse suit for a little boy’s best wear. A belt of buff leather and broad collar of White linen set off a suit of this kind nice- y. Even the Eton jackets seem a standby for quite little girls. A popular model for little girls as young as 8 and 10 wear a col- larless Eton jacket and plain skirt. Rows of white silk machine stitching on applied bands relieve the plainness. Boys’ knickerbockers are decidedly full- er than they were last year, so bear this in mind when preparing your little man’s school suit. Covert cloth top coats made on the same lines as men’s coats with long shoulders and quite long skirts are very smart for lit- tle boys. The fad for the picturesque in juvenile fashions is in no wise diminished this sea- son. Full length or three quarter con tsare designed for children’s wear this antumn, those of green and red cloth being consid- ered especially smart, although some serge ones, are seen, too. Plain, almost severe styles of making these coats are well to the fore, and the little garments are adorned with one, two and three capes, made so they may be dispensed with if desired. Really, children’s coats are better untrim- med, 80 this fashion seems a very sensible one. White Man Is Growing Black Darker than a Mulatto. Puzzled. Loctors are Therefore Gradually turning the color of a negro, yet otherwise healthy, Jacob Berliner, a letter carrier employed in the Brooklyn, N. Y., post office, is the cause of much comment among doctors. Many physicians have examined Berliner, but none has found out the cause of his peculiar affliction. Seemingly he is in the grip of Addison’s disease, which gives a dark color to the skin, but the remarkable symptoms that bave developed indicate that he is suffering with something new to the medical world. Berliner’s troubles began about five years ago, when he noticed an irritation of the skin. He began to suffer considerably from itching sensations, and the palms of his hands and soles of his feet began to crack. It was impossible for him to stop scratch- ing, and multitudes of little scars bear evi- dence to this. Consultation with doctors and experimenting with lotions and inter- nal remedies failed to relieve him. Ex- aminations are now heing made to see if his disease is tuberculous in its nature.’ Just when he began to turn black is un- certain, though a change in the color of his skin was perceptible three years ago. Within the last year this change has be- come 80 marked that he is constantly being taken for a colored man, and is caused much annoyance thereby. He is much darker than the ordinary mulatto, but not quite as dark as the full bred negro. He has obtained temporary relief from itching throngh the use of ichthyol, pre- scribed by his family physician, Dr. D. F. Lucas, of Fourth avenue and Pacific street. He has improved in every way, except the change of color. His only other troubles have been a constant bad cold, and two painless swellings, apparently muscular, in his chest and his neck. Recorded cases of Addison’s disease show that the patients die within twoyears at the latest. Berliner has lived five, and is better in bodily health than he ws a year ago. He lives at No. 58 St. Mark’s place. Brooklyn, is married and has seven healthy children. His wife isa decided blonde. No one in his family is affected. He is about forty years old and has been employ- ed in the Brooklyn Post Office for more than fourteen years. te Dr. Lucas declined to express an opinion on Berliner’s case. ' Berliner has had trou- ble in obtaining a home recently, for many real estate men were reluctant to rent apartments to him on account of his color. Children in the street often speak of his appearance and in other ways he has heen subjected to considerable annoyance. Temperance Lecturer, How Brandy Peaches Were Offered to Him and What He Did. 4 The Rev. Dr. — was pastor of the larg- est ‘Congregational church in ‘New York. Intellectually he was a very strong man, and ‘especially strong in his opposition to slavery and intemperance.“ One’ winter, when preaching a course of evening sermons on temperance, he was invited out-to sup- per to meet a few friends. *'- 7 Just as the company was beginning to arrive the lady of the house’ turned to her husband and exclaimed : * “Oh, John, Dr. is coming, and our principal dish is brandied peaches I’? HEIN, The husband appreciated this unfortunate state of affairs, but declared it was now too late to alter their arrangements. Supper was soon ready, and the lady's heart sank within her when the’ peaches were served. Dr. B——— took a peach and swallowed a mouthful, ‘washing it down with'a tea- spoonful of brandy. Great was the relief of the lady that no remark followed." Final- ly the peach was eaten. - “Dr. B ,”? said the lady, take another peach?” *‘Well, I think not,” said the doctor; ‘‘but,’’ headded, ‘‘I’ll take another saucer- ful of the juice, if you please. “will you Didn't Want a Stepmother. Young Woman By Force Prevents Her Father From Eloping: Joseph Weishiser, a wealthy farmer and widower of Tipton county, Ind., who cele- brated his sixtieth birthday last week, started to elope Tuesday night with Miss Minnie Emery, the twenty year old daugh- ter of a neighbor. Miss Pauline Weishiser the farmer’s daughter, suspected her fath- er’s intentions and set a watch upon him. Half an hour after he left with his intend- ed bride, Miss Pauline mounted her bicy- cle and started over a muddy road in a drizzling rain after the elopers. She over- took them jogging along toward the county seat in a buggy. 3 Jumping from her wheel, the girl grab- bed the horse by the bridle and compelled her father to turn around and accompany her back home. Miss Emery 'was left at her father’s door and Mr. Weishiser went home with bis daughter who declares that he shall not marry. ——Over six million dollars will be used next year to run the rural free mail deliv- ery routes of the country.

Miss Stone’s Prison Accessible Only by Perilous Paths. Negotiations for Missionary’s Release May Occupy Considerable Time After She is Found. Neither W. W. Peet, treasurer of the American Bible House, nor Spencer Eddy, secretary of the United States Legation, had received any news up to noon Satur- day from the missionaries who are search- ing for the brigands who kidnapped Miss Ellen M. Stone and her companion, Mme. Tsilka. 2 Peet and Eddie had a lopg conference Saturday as to the'advisability of re-enfbre- ing the searchers, but decided that the pres- ent arrangements sufficed. | GREAT DIFFICULTY IN SEARCH. The difficult nature of the country hand- icaps the searchers, and heavy rains have increased the difficulty of traversing the paths which are the only means of access to the hiding places of the bandits in the rugged mountain range, flanked on the west by the Rilo and on the east by the Rhodope mountains, the summits of which are already capped with snow extending some distance down. BRIGANDS SHIFTED QUARTERS. Thick mists generally envelope the re- gion in autumn, preventing even experi- enced mountaineers, shepherds and wood- cutters from traveling. Early in the week one of the missionary searchers actually located the band, and was approaching their retreat when the brigands, apparent- ly fearing the approach of troops, shifted Seer quarters and track of them was again ost. Now, however, that the troops have been called off the directors of the search are hopeful of making better progress, though they point out that even after the brigands are found the negotiations may be prolong- ed, especially in view of the lack of tele- graph facilities. A FIENDISH ATTACK.—An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, Towa, that nearly proved fatal. It came through his kidneys. His back got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions. No remedy helped him until he tried Elee- tric Bitters which effected such a wonder- ful change that he writes he feels like a vew man.
