ia Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. {, 1901. FARM NOTES. —Teaching the Colt. If a horse gets his front foot fast, even on an obstruction only a foot high, he always pulls back and will keep at it until loose or exhausted, but does not go ahead. If he gets his hind leg fast he goes ahead: if he gets half way through a narrow passage he wiil struggle for hours, but not back out. This is the law of his nature. The center of the bodv is the pivotal point of action. This is why he pulls back on the halter. We should know what we want him to do and begin at the right end. A horse is controlled by his habits and does nothing but what we teach him. He ‘never forgets a lesson, good or bad, and habit, not cussedness, is responsible for all sroubles. The trainer must know himself what he wants the horse to do and teach properly, if a good horse is wanted. The first lesson should begin at one hour or one day after birth, and should make him respect the superior strength of man. Catch him with one arm around his neck and the other hold of his tail so he cannot get away, ran ahead or kick you. Bring the hand in contact with all parts of his body and from both sides. Be gentle, and when done press a little sugar between his lips. In two days he will follow you all over. By this means you have gained his confidence. The hogs, hens, dogs and sheep come for food when called; why not the horses? At ten days put on the halter. No trouble to do this. But if you begin to pull on the strap he obeys natural law and begins to run back. A clothesline should be put around his body in front of the hips, and the end be put through the halter ring, so both strap and rope are held at once. A pull on the rope will land him nearly on top of you. Do not put under his tail or any part where harness would come later. Give sugar.after each lesson. Do not teach tricks, but useful lessons. The colt should be weaned at five months. Separate him from his dam and put him in a box stall. The best food is sweet, warm skimmed cow’s milk, about one quart per day, with a little sugar, grain and a little hay with oats. Do not feed so as to dis- tend the stomach, and do not feed first day until night. - Pat milk in pan and bring lips in contact with it and he will soon learn to drink. Construct a cart with shafts 14 feet long. Put a crossbar across the shafts quite a dis- tance from the wheels. Put a well-trained horse in the shafts, Four colts can be trained at once,two on each side. A jockey stick attached to end of shaft extends in front of them and a snap on it is snapped into halter ring. - Straps from halter ring go back to crossbar for tugs and. short straps connect the halter rings. When the cart starts they hang back and the crossbar strikes the heels ‘and they soon learn fo walk and trot. : With the word whoa, pull up the mare and every colt gets a kink in the neck from the jockey stick; a few lessons are all that are needed. Drive through mudholes, over bridges and raise umbrellas. The old horse holds them to their place, and in a few days they are well trained. Never break a horse. A good collar, properly fitted, never makes a horse sore, and sweat pads are not only useless, but harmful, Most collars are too large, and the draft is either too low or too high. There should be but little if any motion or twist when the horse is moving. A sloping shoulder requires a close fit to sides of neck: most collars are too broad at bottom, and hames will not bring it up. All col- lars are fitted over the same black and a new one is round but an old one flat. The horse does his work from the shoul- der, and should have his own collar. A new collar should be put in water over night and kept on the horse all the next day while be is working. It will give and stretch until it is a perfect fit. If the horse is in good flesh, buy a collar which will only allow four fingers between it and the breast. You can let out a hole at first. A horse is not worth a cent to us, except when he is in motion. Knees and toes should be straight and in line with shoul- der—for anything out of line interferes with the gait.—Farm and Home. —As the asparagus beetle, and a disease known as asparagus rust, attacks the plants, it is usual to cut down the plants while the seed is green, allow them to dry, and burn them on the bed. Of course, the weeds and grass should also be cleared off. The bed should not be plowed, but hoed just deep enough to destroy all weeds. Plowing may turn up the roots. A cover- ing of well-rotted manure should be given this fall, assisted by fertilizer. When clear- ing the bed rake off all the refuse and later on use it, with straw or other dry material, for burning the surface, being careful to also burn the tops of the asparagus. —Whenever hens or chicks are always ready to scratch, and seem to be busy at all times, you need have no fear of a fail- ure to get eggs from the hens or a rapid growth on the part of the chicks. Secratch- ing is their work, their mode of occupying and passing away time, and indicate busi- ness. The hens that keep busy scratching do not contract the vices peculiar to those fowls that bave nothing to do, and they keep fresh and in good health. The bright, red comb, clean plur.age and plenty to do on the part of the hens, indicate that egg foods are unnecessary and eggs plentiful. —Some horses will eat at all times and consume almost any quantity of food with- out appearing to improve in condition, al- though they may not be doing much work. Horses differ, and what is best for one may not give as good results with others. Good grooming is an important matter,but there is not, as a rule, sufficient variety in the food of horses. While oats will continue to be a standard food for horses, yet a small allowance of linseed meal and corn fodder will also be relished and give excellent re- sults. Hay and fodder will prove superior to hay alone. —Wheat that is seeded late will seldom be attacked by the Hessian fly. One diffi- culty with wheat is the liability of being thrown out by frost in the spring,but when such is the case the cause may be due to lack of proper drainage. When a field has been properly tiled there will be hut little liability of wheat being injured by alternate freezing and thawing. . —It it is desired to raise a calf give it milk fresh and from the cow, and warm, the vessels to be scrupulously clean. If scours oceur give a tablespoonful of ground dried blood once a day. Linseed meal jelly is also wholesome, but let the calf depend mostly upon the warm fresh milk. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. On the Wedding Journey. I don’t think anybody dreams That I’m a bride. You mustn't try to hold my hand ! Be dignified, And try to look at ease and calm, The way I do, As if our going off alone Were nothing new; And when I ask you things, just growl “Qh, I don’t know!” ~ Why does that horrid man back there Grin at me so ? Could he have guessed ?—or does he just Think I look nice ? HE. Of course he does—but, dear, your hat 1s white with rice. — The Household. Far better for the complexion than any cosmetic compound by a perfumer is the application of very hot water to the face with a woolen washrag. Every night and morning give the face a thorough washing with a piece of white flannel in hot water. Once in a great while use soap, but not often. After the hot bath, dash on a liberal quantity of cold water with the hands until the skin fairly glows. This is the cheapest and most wonderful cosmetic known. A month of such treatment will transform any complexion. If you long to be envied invest in a low boy. If you have him from your great- grandmother you are wonderfuly blessed. The shops, however, are ready to supply the lack of an ancestral garret. A low boy, an exact copy of one that came from merrie England in the very same ship with Peon may be bad for $44.50. Of course, you kuow that a low boy is a dwarf cheffonier. The fact that it is colonial makes up for the fact that it holds but half as much as the modern sort. Black velvet applique is in evideuce at all the shops, and there are, too, beautifal velvet appliques of softly shaded colors which promise stunning effects upon gowns in white or soft pastel tints. “Don’t think,” said the dentist, ‘‘that brushing is all your teeth need. Besides this, you should draw a bit of very fine cotton or dental silk between them night- ly. It is impossible, with a brush, to be certain that every particle of food is re- moved from between them, and it is nec- essary that this should be done, if you want to keep them in good order and pre- vent.them from decaying.” Kaizer Zinn is still in great demand; some prefer to: call it pewter. It is to be bad in old steins, novel matches and ash trays, and later yet in candlesticks. These last are of surprising beauty and are sell- ing fast'at our best stores. Especially is there a demand for an arrangement hold- ing four or five candles, bardly overwhelm- ing enough to be called candelabra. Separate blouses are worn by ‘the thou- sand, both by fashionable and unfashion- able women. May the star of their popu- larity never set ! Brilliant colored blouses are only worn with cloth coat and skirt for afternoon af- fairs and for luncheons, the coat being re- moved and thrown on the back of the chair. When hlonses are worn with skirts for all informal affairs, or without a coat, they should be of the same color as the skirt. White may be worn with everything. Now, henceforth, put this away in your little note book of fashions; blouses of any material n1’ny be worn with any separate skirt when a coat is not used if that blouse is of the same color, unless it be white. The word fabric is not thought of by these who are fashioning the blouses. It is the color—the color—that is re- quired. Now it seems to me with this clearly un- derstood, the working out of blouses for your Winter wardrobe is easy. . You want the fancy ones for the follow- ing purpose with the following suits : You have a tailor suit. probably. It is made for formal occasions where you will be seen on the streets. It is heavy; it is elaborate and it needs a blouse. Given such a blouse, it is worn for call- ing, driving, all afternoon affairs, the matinee and luncheons and card parties if one wishes. But the really modish woman does not wear them for these affairs. She keeps her two-piece light gown, or black for that matter, for such occasions. But that is only modish. That is not necepsary. i The reason she does this is that the coa of one’s suit is never seen at such an af- fair, and she gives the impression of being dressed in what is now called the ‘‘patchy fashion.’’ . These blouses, worn under these suits, for dress occasion are very elaborate. Every known fabric of brilliant and cost- ly weave is used for them. The really well-dressed woman has these blouses of white. Of that there is little question this Winter. Liberty satin and fine mull or Swiss over silk are the two chosen fabrics. Louisine, peau de soie, and probably above all handsome lace over satin are used. Yokes are not let in any of these blouses. There is often a yoke effect laid on the fabric from tucks or lace or velvet rihbon, bus the old-fashioned manner of putting a yoke in is not allowable. Belts are of the same material or of some ribbon to exactly match the skirt worn. The dressmakers usually bone them and they are worn outside of the skirts with the girdle fitted on the blouse. Now for morning under plain tailor suits blouses are worn that match the color of the suit. Say, that you havea black, blue or brown plain tailor suit for the morning. = You get shirtwaists that match the color exactly, in peau de soie, colored pongee, crepe de chine, but not taffeta or flannel. White flaunel waists will be worn, but the colored anes or corduroy ones or velve- teen ones are not to he considered. Taffeta wears so illy that it is foolish to buy it for a morning waiss. it is becoming to any one unless softened hy some transparent fabric. It is too hard to go near any face but a child’s ora young girl's. ‘ : It is from economy more than anything else that it has gone out of fashion, ex- cept in very elaborate instances, for blouses. The proper temperature for living rooms for adults in good health is 68 to 70 de- grees. Invalids and aged people may re- quire more heat, sometimes as much as 80 degrees, but children and infants should not be kept in au atmosphere above 70 de- grees. Sleeping room temperatures should not rise ahove 65 degrees, preferably 60 degrees, except where illness or special causes require a modification of the rule. It is rare that | Bulbs for Window Gardens. A Few Suggestions for the Amateur Florist. Of late years bulbs have played a promi- pent part in the winter window garden, writes Eben E. Rexford in Lippincott’s Magazine. The amateur florist has found out that they can be depended on to give greater satisfaction than any other ciass of flowers adapted to window culture if prop- erly treated. It is very important that the bulbs which we intend to force into bloom in winter should be treated in such a manner as to imitate, as closely as possible, the condi- tions under which it would grow naturally —that is, if left to take care of itself. All bulbs have two distinct periods or stages of growth. One in fall, preparatory to spring’s work, and the other in spring. The fall work codsists in the development of roots by which the plant is to be sup- ported and nourished later. The work of spring consists in the development of foli- age and flowers. To imitate successfully the conditions which bring about these re- sults we must give the bulb we propose to bring into bloom in the house an opportu- nity todevelop roots fully before the growth of folioge and flowers begins. If we pot the bulb and put it away in some cool, dark, guniet place for a time it will form roots, while that part of it from which leaves and flowers are to be produc- ed later remains dormant. By following out this plan we may have juss as fine flow- ers from the bulbs we grow in the house in winter as we have from those in the garden in spring. The soil for bulbs grown in pots should be a rich, mellow one, made up of garden loam, sand and old cow manure in equal parts. Work it over until you have a mass of fine material. Prepare it before the time comes to pot your bulbs, so that there need be no delay in planting them on their ar- rival. It is quite important that all bulbs should go into the ground as soon as possible after they are received, as the moisture which they contain evaporates rapidly, and with it goes much of their vitality. Leave them exposed to -air and light for two or three weeks, and they will be so weakened that the flowers they produce will be few and inferior. DEEP PLANTING NOT ADVISABLE. It'is not necessary to give most bulbs in- tended for winter flowering the deep plant- ing-advised for thosein the garden, as they will not be subjected to the disturbing con- ditions which the later must contend with. Simply press them down their depth in the soil, This will be sufficient. Do this when soil is light and dry, then water them well to settle the earth about them, and they are ready to be left until they have formed roots. If you have a cellar, put them there darkening the windows in such a manner as to keep out all the light possible. . The exclusion of light is important, because it excites the plant to make an effort towards the production of leaves aud flowers before it is in a condition to do this satisfactorily. Heat also does this, therefore a cool place is quite necessary for plants which are ex- pected to develop roots hefore other growth takes place. If yau have no cellar an old shed or a closet will answer quite well, provided the conditions spoken of can be secured. ' If the bulbs are watered well at the time of potting it will not be necessary, as a gen- eral thing, to apply water for. a month or more. None should be given unless abso- lately needed. Examine the pots occa- sionally to ascertain the condition of the of the soil. If itis found to he dry give just enough water to impart an even mois- ture to all the soil in the pot. As evapora- tion takes place slowly in a cool, dark place a small amount of water will be found suf- ficient to supply all the requirements of the bulbs for some time. In potting bulbs the best results are se- cured by putting several in the same pot. Four hyacinths or tulips or daffodils in a seven inch pot will give a much finer effect than the same number of bulbs potted singly. Pan-American a Big Loser. Deficit When Gates Close Will Exceed $4,000,000. The decision of the directors to close the exposition on the night of November en- ables the accountants to make a fairly ac- curate estimate of the loss which the Pan- American will suffer. It will exceed $4,- 000,000. The stockholders will receive hack noth- ing for the $2,500,000 which they put in. Contiactors who built the exposition will be stuck for $1,000,000, and the issue of $500,000 second mortgage bonds will be defaulted as well as 20 per cent of the first mortgage bonds. The banks acting as trustees for the first mortgage bonds have paid 50 per cent to the holders out of the gate receipts and have on hand enough to pay 30 per cent more. ! The contractors mean to fight the divis- ion of the monies in court, and will en- deavor to establish liability for the debts on the part of the directors and stockhold- ers. The act incorporating the Pan-Amer- ican Company specifically states that the directors and stockholders shall not be liable and this, it is claimed, is uncon- stitutional.
