FARM NOTES.
—Chestnuts for seed should be procured
in autumn at the time they are ripe, and
mixed with sand. They should be kept in
a cool place, so as to avoid liability of heat-
ing, and planted in the spring.
—The manure from sheep is more
valuable than that from horses or cows.
Compared with horse manure at $2.20 per
ton, sheep manure is worth $3.30 per ton.
it is rich in phosphoric acid, and more con-
centrated than horse or cow manure.
-—Just at this season, prompts an exper-
jenced friend, is the proper time to trim
grape vines. He says most vine owners
make the mistake of trimming in the
spring. Best results will be obtained by
giving this care to grape vines at this time.
—Celery blights or rust may be kept
under complete control by spraying either
with ammonical carbonate of copper or
with bordeaux mixture. The spraying
should be begun while the plants are still
in the seed bed, and should. be continued
at intervals of from one to two weeks after
the plants are transplanted until cool
weather prevents the further develop-
ment of the fangus.
—No farmer can progress unless he is
willing to study and learn. In all occupa-
tions theory is a mighty factor, for educa-
tion is considered essential to success. The
farmer of to-day who maintains that only
practical farming is worthy of his considera-
tion, and who believes that his sons can
learn all that is necessary about farming
on the farm itself, daily witnesses the sons
of those outside of farming deriving knowl-
edge at institutes at which instruction in
mechanics is imparted.
—Ten pounds of good timothy bay and
twelve quarts of oats per day will make a
standard ration for a driving horse, to be
varied according to the individual needs
of the animal. When not at work, the
oats may be largely reduced, or (better)
good'straw and bran may be used, straw
an libitnm and four to eight pounds of
bran daily. Twenty-five pounds of hay or
its equivalent will make a sufficient ration
for a dry cow. When in milk, she will
need from eight to twelve pounds of grain
—corn, oats and bran—or its equivalent.
— Country Gentleman.
— While Massachusetts is fighting the
gypsy moth simply to prevent it from
spreading, and other States are spending
large sums to protect against insect pests,
man goes out armed to the teeth to destroy
birds for sport that are necessary to his
very existence, for when the birds go man
will not be capable of holding his own in
combat with insect pests, which multiply
faster than he can destroy them. While
some sportsmen may gain a dollar or two
in ‘value of game birds, the insects may be
destroying, or will destroy in season, a |,
hundred times as much in trees, fruit or
crops. It is time tbat farmers protect the
birds when they can do so.
—By all means fatten your turkeys. Do
not send them to market half fat, as so
many do, says J. C. Clipp in National Stock-
man. You can have your turkeys in fine
market condition with but little extra
trouble. Get them up about ten days be-
fore you expect to market them and con-
fine them to asmall yard. To fatten them
quickly we find no better ration than sweet
potatoes and cornmeal. One can use the
small and unsalable potatoes in this way to
great advantage. Cook them and just be-
fore removing them from the fire add the
cornmeal, feeding the mess when it is cold,
two pounds of meal to one peck of pota-
toes, IE the mess is mixed with skimumilk,
instead of water, it will produce a superior
flavor. Do not fail to give plenty of fresh
water and feed four times per day. Grit
should always be placed where the turkeys
can have free access to it.
—The feeding of cows under all condi-
tious requires more or less skill, and is not
a routine daily practice to be followed
withont regards toresnlts. Some farmers
feed all cows alike, without regards to cir-
cumstances. When good cows are nob
yielding milk they are more liable to be-
come fat than when in full flow of milk.
Careful feeding is also necessary for a dry
cow that is expected soon to come in.
When a cow is giving milk, and is also
highly fed, her system is kept at a high
tension. If she is dry for afew weeks this
tension should be slackened, asd she should
not be fed more than just enough to keep
ber in good condition. = All fattening foods
shonld be withheld and the cow given roots,
clover hay, ensilage and grasses if the pas-
ture can be used. Such foods as bran,
middlings, oats and a small allowance of
linseed meal may be given. The object
should be to avoid making the animal fat,
as the result way be milk fever.
—It is generally accepted by many fruit
growers that best results in apple culture
are obtained where constant and careful
cultivation, as well as pruning, spraying
and other up to-date methods are practiced.
This system, however, is not applicable in
all cases. One of the most striking in-
stances in opposition to this method of
handling orchards was given by Grant G.
Hitchings, one of the most successful or-
chardists in western New York.
His remarkable exhibit of 55 varieties of
apples grown in orchards, the trees of which
vary in age from five to one hundred years,
and kept constantly in sod, was one of the
most striking and interesting features at
the late New York State fair. In size,
color, treedom from scab, insect pests and
quality, there was no other collection of
apples as good, and, in fact, it was difficult
to find even a variety better in any respect
on the tables than those shown by him.
Successful fruit growers and experts who
crowded around this collection had the
props knocked from under their pet theory
that perfect fruit conld be grown only in
cultivated orchards. It was useless for
even the most sanguine to argue the case,
as'the fruit itself attested in a most fas-
cinating manner nature’s approval of the
system practiced by Mr. Hitchings.
While we do not believe that sod should
be left in every orchard, there can be no
question of doubt that this system is best
adapted to some soils and locations. In
the fruit sections of parts of Canada, is has
been found by experience, that it is best to
have grass or clover growing in the orch-
ards, especially where there is a cold, wet
subsoil. ?
This is another striking example illustrat-
ing the fact that a particular system adapted
to one section is not necessarially the best
method to follow in another. In other
words, soil and ’ocation require as :nuch
careful study and consideration as the vari-
eties to be most successfully grown. Because
one succeeds in developing perfect fruit
under up-to-late cultural methods, it is
unfair to state that the grass or clover sys-
tem is not equally as satisfactory and as
profitable under other conditions.—Agri-
culturist.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
To prevent a mustard plaster from blis-
tering, mix the mustard with the white of
an egg. Spread it on pieces of cheesecloth,
and puta piece of flannel over it soas to
keep the air out.
There is nothing more necessary to a fine
figure than broad shoulders aud a high full
chest. Breathing exercises will do a world
of good, and should always be indulged in.
A correct, well fitting, loose corset is abso-
lutely necessary, since stays that pinch at
the waistline—or pinch anywhere, for that
matter—will ruin the loveliest figure.
Learn to hold the head well, and keep the
chest up high. Breathe deeply and go in
for all sorts of outdoor sports and exerzise.
Few women understand fully the beau-
tifying effect of light color near the face.
Only the most perfect blond complexion
can stand a dead-black frock, and the aver-
age woman, he she ever so lovely, is ren-
dered still more lovely by delicate colors.
This one reason is why most women look
better in evening dress then in their ordinary
high-necked gowns. The expanse of deli-
cately tinted shoulder puts the face at its
best. For this reason all house gowns
should ha ve light yokes or vests, or per-
haps a collar with long ends or a bow in
front.
Windburn is far more unbearable then
sunburn, for it not only burns, but smarts
and itches intolerably. To veil the face
and hair is never so wise as during Novem-
ber; not with thin fabrics, but thick veils.
To wash the face in soap and water be-
fore going out into the November winds is
very foolish. If the face is very soiled use
almond meal and dry thoroughly.
Common petrolenm jelly acts like magic,
upon some persons’ bands and wrists, and
for genuine family use outvies half the ex-
pensive creams extant.
Red noses are due to the pores being es-
pecially open upon the nasal surfaces.
Massage at night and bathe the next morn-
ing with cold water and alcohol.
Before going out on a blustery day take
some of your good cosmoline and rub into
the pores of the whole exposed parts of the
face and neck. Dust well with plan tal-
cum and wear a veil that protects.
The inflamed condition of the eyes in
blustery weather is due ofttimes to dust
particles and dotted veils. A plain, honest
veil in bad weather helps the eyes; a dot-
ted veil irritates them viciously. Warm-
water baths for the eyes should be taken
whenever they smart or sting.
Bad soap and imperfect drying cause
half the facial woes,bad cooking and foolish
eating the rest of them. Care. is the best
cosmetic, and eating only a sufficiency will
scare away coarseness of outline.
A shiny nose and forehead generally de-
notes a butter-loving, oil-eating person;
and until the world ends the stomach will
be the monitor of beauty.
Glycerine and rose water is a good lotion
for chapped lips.
Pretty throats are never yellow; they are
white, firm and smooth. Let nature come
to the rescue. Discard tight ribbons; they
make wrinkles. Sleep on small pillows to
avoid ‘‘three chins.” Massage the
throat at night with lanoline.
Keep the teeth nice;a pair keen, crit
ical eyes to watch a speck of discoloration.
A good brush to scrub them with af-
ter each meal, not forgetting the back or
under side of the teeth.
The most fashionable hats seen at the
New York Horse show were made, not of
fur, not of lace, nor of felt, but of
fruit and £ »wers.
Flowers have a prominent place on the
dressier hats. A much used fancy is to
trim the crown with a band of flowers,
like small roses with their foliage. Whole
crowns or rims of hate are again composed
of flowers or fruit and foliage. Fur hats
are second choice, but are here in goodly
numbers, too—in aset of hat, neck-piece
and muff. Sable and chinchilla are used
to the exclusion of everything else in far.
Matched sets of Chiffon, bat neck-piece and
dainty, fluffy muff, in much lighter color
tone than the muff combinations are quite
noticeably frequent, too, Irish crochet
lace trims many of the most striking
head coverings of this very smart dress
parade and looks especially chic in combi-
nation with sable.
Christmas gifts that you can make your
self. Pompadour opera slippers and
fan bags, made of satin and applique with
Arabian lace motifs, a few stitches of gold
thread here and there and some mock jew-
els to brighten it.
A pretty case for holding the pretty turn-
over collars that women wear. Two pieces
of card-board 3x16 inches, covered with
silk, and tied with a narrow ribbon, with
a small spray of flowers, a monogram or
crest to finish it.
Tarn-over collars stamped on colored
linen and embroidered in cotton. A ‘bean-
ty has three lobes, the one in the center
bearing the initials of the woman you give
the gift to. These are among the latest
novelties.
Some children can make pretty little
gifts with their deft fingers: Stamped
pieces of linen to be embroidered and made
into needle-books, jewel-cases and tobacco
‘pouches. :
There are darning bags to make up,
laundry bags, shoe pockets, stamped and
tinted on art duck with pretty designs for
outlining. These are very inuch of a fad
just now for gifts.
Stamped squares for pillow tops in col-
lege designs or in conventional and flower
designs.
Scrap baskets made of card-board cover-
ed with flowered cretonne.
Daintily embroidered scarfs and pin-
cushions to match.
Bureau covers made of mull and tiim-
med with lace and ribbon.
Centrepieces, and little embroidered bits
for finger-bowls; plate doilies stamped on
pale green Russian linen in coventional leaf
designs. The embroidery can be done in
white silk and outlined with a darker
shade of green.
Coat collars are noticeably high this sea-
son. ‘Be it Napoleon’’ or the ‘‘high
turn-over’’ 1t must measure no less than
four and a half inches, This is intended
to give us a rest from the rolling storm col-
lars which have usurped attention so long-
The ‘high turn-over,’’ being so high, pro-
tects that delicate portion of the human
anatomy, the back of the neck, and so
it is of a good shape to fit smoothly on the
shoulders. We have no use for an old-
style, low-necked coat this winter. The
trend of fashion is all the other way.
The vanity bag is one of the graceful lit-
tle features of mademoiselle’s wardrobe, it
is made of velvet, satin or silk, daintily
lined and having prettily shirred pockets
inside, with plenty of space for opera glass-
es, handkerchiefs, purse and—whisper it
—the wee powder puff and tiny mirror.
For Mrs. Flagler’s Care.
Insane Wife Divorced by Millionaire is Allowed
$25,000 a Year.
Justice Clarke, in the Supreme Court of
New York, Friday awarded Dr. Charles F.
MacDonald $27,000 a year for the care and
maintenance of Mrs. Ida M. Flagler. di-
vorced wife of Henry M. Flagler, the Stan-
dard Oil millionaire, who was recently
married a second time. Mrs. Ida Flagler
has been for several years an inmate of Dr.
MacDonald’s sanitarium for the insane.
He was also allowed $5,000 for his services
asa committee of Mrs. Flagler’s person.
He recommended that she would be placed
in a position in which, in accordance with
her income and the manner in which she
was accustomed to live, she could main-
tain her own establishment.
Justice Clarke, upon the application of
Charles F. Shourdes, Stephen C. Shourdes
and Mrs, Mattie A. Johnson, brothers and
sister of Mrs. Flagler, allowed them $4,000
a year each, to be paid them out of her in-
come. Mrs. Flagler was in the: habit of
making them valuable presents. They are
not in affluent circumstances and the es-
tate will revert to them upon Mrs. Flagler’s
death.
Maple Sugar Will be Scarce.
Maple syrup and maple sugar will be
scarce this year. The prices at the opening
of the season were slightly lower than last
year’s quotations, because it was predicted
that this year’s crop would be a large one.
Contrary to expectations, the supply will
be very small. Market prices in the cities
have advanced from five to seven and a
half per cent. For several months the
United States consuls stationed at the lead-
ing cities of Europe, have been making in-
vestigations with a view to learning
whether there was any market in Europe
for American maple syrup and sugar. In
every case in was shown that the prices of
the American products were too high.
Suicide Runs in This Family.
Ray Hartman, the 19 year old son of
Marvin Hartman, of Catawissa township,
Columbia county, committed suicide Tues-
day by hanging himself in his father’s
barn. The method employed by the
young man in taking his life was identical
with that of his brother Frank, who also
committed suicide two years ago. Both
used the rope attached to the hay fork.and
both chose the same beam on which to tie
the rope. The deceased was an industri-
ous and hard working boy and his relatives
know of no motive for the rash act.
Longest in the World.
Erie will be the eastern terminus of the
longest trolley line on earth unless plans
projected fail to carry. In the course of a
few months it will be possible to make a
journey to Martinsville, Ind., a distance of
562 mills. The consolidation of separate
systems covering the entire distance is now
being arranged. The route and distances
are as follows: From Erie to Toledo, 218
miles; Toledo to Marion, via Fort Wayne,
147 miles; Marion to Indianapolis, 68 miles,
and from Indianapolis to Vicennes, via
Martinsville, 129 miles.
