Demon fad FARM NOTES. —Hog cholera is said to be at fault when large numbers of hogs die, but the use of filthy slop instead of pure water, and the feeding of refuse from hotels, much of which is soapy water, causes some of the losses ascribed to cholera. —Fruit trees may be sprayed to ad- vantage in winter. The spores of the vari- ous fungi remain on the limbs and twigs as well as on the leaves. When the leaves are on the trees it is then difficult to get the spray on the limbs and twigs. During the winter, when trees are bare of leaves, the spray solutions will more easily reach all portions of the trees and consequently destroy fungi that cannot be reached in spring. —No farmer can progress unless he is willing to study and learn. In all occupa- tions theory is a mighty factdr, 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. The best engi- neers, machinists and wood workers en- deavor to enter their sons in schools or col- leges at which they can be taught all that is possible from a theoretical stand point. The farmer has kept himself back by his opposition to theoretical farming, the ‘‘hook farmer’’ being. to him, one ut- terly destitute of knowing anything except $0 spend his money foolishly in the effort to accomplish an impossibility. The farmer however is a close observer of operations, for, while he will not become a pioneer and gives no encouragement to those working outside of practical lines, he very quickly gets the benefits derived through the efforts of the experimenter. Of course all farmers are not alike, for many of them are pro- gressive, but many prefer to wait for developments, and when they become con- vinced that a change in their methods of farming is necessary will accept the in- evitable and endeavor to improve. — Unattractive and uninteresting though the familiar earthworms may seem, they have taeir place in the economy of nature. At the approach of winter they burrow down deep below the frost line, and there they remain during the cold weather, often burrowing as deep as eight feet below the surface. They are extremely sensitive to heat; and this is proven by the fact that they so quickly respond to the first warmth of early spring, ofttimes coming from their under- ground retreats ¢ 8 early as February, when a warm rain has thawed the surface some- what. We may see the castings of these primitive tillers of the soil long before we see any other sign of the awakening of the undergionnd world. Earthworms have no visible eyes. Their seeing apparatus consists of special single cells scattered among the epidermal cells of theskin and connected with a little branch of nervous matter in the body by means of a sensory canal. This simply enables them to distinguish light from darkness, which for them is sufficient, as they live underground anyway. In burrow- ing, the head is swelled by special action and the dirt is pushed away on all sides. It also swallows the dirt, which passes through the digestive canal. Darwin esti- mates that there are 100,000 earthworms in the upper six feet of every acre in ordi- nary soil. They are continually turning over the soil and dragging down leaves and other matter, which helps to fertilize the soil and loosen the earth, allowing the air to reach the roots. —Poor butter is very often the result of impurities that get into the milk at milk- ing time. Cloth strainers will help mat- ters very materially, but first of all thor- oughly rub the cow’s udders with a piece of burlap before milking. The best pail for milking with cloth strainers can be made hy the tinsmith. Lay the cloth tightly over the top of the pail, then press the top piece down inside. the rim of the pail. The milk cannot spatter out, and must pass through the cloth into the pail. Probably not one dairyman in a hundred is as particular as he should be in the mat- ter of getting the milk from the cows in the cleanliest possible manner. After visit- ing many dairy farms and noting the filthy manner in which the cows are cared for and milked, I think my statement of not one in a hundred is not wide of the mark. In many barns the conditions are simply dis- gusting. while (ne can rarely find a stable where a thoroughly painstaking effort is made to keep every particle of foreign mat- ter and every foul odor out of the milk. Even under the very best conditions as re- gards cleanliness it is utterly impossible to keep all impurities out of the milk if the latter is drawn from the cow into an open pail, for hairs and some dust particles will be loosened from the cow by the action of the bands in milking. However, with a pail two thicknesses of cotton cloth, or, better still, a layer of surgeons’ absorbent cotton, laid between two sheets of cheese- cloth and caught together here and there with thread and needle, almost absolute cleanliness can be secured. A large sheet of such a strainer can be made at once, and circles cut from it for each milking. The cotton mentioned is absolutely pure, and is of a nature to check the passage of any impurities. By the use of such a device the milk and cream will not only be prac- tically pure, if all other precautions are taken to keep it so, hut it will keep much longer than milk and cream secured under the ordinary conditions—a very decided advantage, if one ships his cream away or has a milk or cream route, for there is, per- haps, no more common complaint from customers on a milk route than that the milk or cream does not keep from one day to the next. Tombstone A Wedding Gift. Aged Couple Will Have it Erected in the Ceme- tery. : Mr. and Mrs. John Williams, the aged sextons of the Baptist church, Danville, Ky., celebrated their golden wedding on Tuesday. One of the gifts was a $50 tombstone from a marble dealer in the city, which is prized very highly by the couple. They are preparing to have it erected on their lot in the cemetery. Rather Cold Comfort. From the Elk County Democrat. The next time you meet a man ‘‘dead broke and out of a job' just explain to him that the currency per capita averages $28.52. It may comfort him to know it. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. The present style of dressing the hair, with twists and twirls resting on the nape of the neck, is very becoming with the present day toque. The toque justnow is more distinguished by charm of line than by any costliness of material; in fact, wool is the all prevailing quantity. Fleecy, soft cream wools and woolen felts and cloth have been found capable of the greatest chic, illustrating once again that it isin the manipulator. rather than the manipu- lated that the quality of charm rests. There is a decided ‘feeling,’ as the ar- tists would say, in favor of red house gowns for afternoon wear. Young girls and young women alike wear these sparkling costumes, which make radiant the parlor of a dull December day. A brilliant red erepon is excessively becoming to the right wearer. Silk dotted crepes, camel’s hair serge, zibeline, cashmere and Henrietta are used for these afternoon gowns. The customary trimmings are either self-colored or black and white. Black velvet ribbon hows and black lace are often used. The chemisette is either black or white. Wrinkled sleeves look well in the red house gown. A pretty fancy of the moment is the peat turnover, hand-stitched white muslin collar, with a black, plain, or spotted stock —this is a charming finish to a shirt worn with a tailor-made morning coat and skirt. The following light gymnastic exercises have been recommended for reducing the size of the waist : First, stand perfectly upright, with shoulders back, chin pressed well back, and arms at the sides, with palms of the hands to the front. Raise the arms up over the top of the head till the thumbs touch, and then drop them down again. Second, hold the arms straight out in front of you, palms down, and then move each arm around gradually to the side and back again, keeping them on the level of the shoulders. Third, stand with the arms stretched as far apart as possible, level with the shoulders, and making a perfect cross with the body, and describe small circles with each arm, using the shoulder as centre. Repeat each exeicise half a dozen times consecutively upon get- ting up in the morning and before retir- ing. There seems always something new to say about sleeves, really the most impor- tant item in wardrobes just now, says a Paris special in the New York Tribune. The prettiest and most modish sleeve is undoubtedly the one that follows closely the lines of the arm to below the elbow and then widens excessively with a lot of ruf- fled undersleeves that fall over the hand; but this sleeve, unfortunately, is not gen- erally becoming. A sleeve that, on the other hand, is al- most universally becoming is close, with a high, tight cuff and elaborate drapery at the elbow. An example of the drapery is a scarf of mousseline de soie arranged with a big how on the outside of the arm, while the same idea on an elbow sleeve consists of a turn-up cuff, slashed on the outside of the arm with a frill of lace or a puff of some thin stuff coming through the slash- ing. The correct way is to have the full part of the elbow trimming on the outside. Apparently all juvenile femininity has joined the navy, as all the most stylishly gotten up ones wear hrass-buttoned blue navy reefers with the ensign on the left sleeve. Milady almost appears to be carrying a huge fluff ball of thistle down so silkily soft and delicate is her swagger chinchilla muff. Small black bats, sharply turned up on the left side, adorned with black velvet and one huge white ostrich pompon, must be the latest vogne, so many are passing y. After sleeves, what is the next impor- tant thing on hodices? Probably collars, although there is a great similarity about these. They vary more in regard to size than to shape, in the latter respect keep- ing close to the Louis XIII design. It is the use of embroideries and laces that gives cachet to most of these. A deep collar of yellow bhatiste, em- broidered with white and yellow and inset with ecru lace, is a novelty tbat gives distinction to a gown of tabac brown velvet. The blouse has no other trim- ming save some small and very lovely gold buttons, which are used in clusters on the front of the bodice and on the small, close cuffs. The skirt is made with a shaped flounce, trimmed with diamonds formed of lines of small tucks taken in the stuff. The fashion of cutting a bodice low about the hase of the throat and with elbow sleeves seems particularly popular this winter. French women are wearing such gowns while receiving, either in the after- noon or evening, or with a hat to the thea- tre. ! The Biarritz glove, is much worn in tans and greys; suede is as popular as ever; while for rough wear reindeer, antelope, and thick kid, with two enormous pearl buttons, are considered smart. A few ex- clusive people are wearing mittens with the afternoon toilette. A strip of flannel or a towel folded sev- eral times lengthwise and dipped in hot water, then slightly wrung out and ap- plied about the neck of a child suffering with an attack of croup will usually, it is said, relieve the sufferer in the course of ten minutes if the flannel is kept hot. A silk umbrella with a gold handle is al- ways an acceptable Christmas present to give a man. A pocket pencil is excellent. These come in gold or silver holders. A dainty little scarfpin is not expensive. Two Russian leather boxes with his monogram for collars and cuffs is another choice. A cut-glass inkstand, very large, with big silver pen is considered a good thing to give. Half a dozen linen handkerchiefs of fine quality, with his monogram in tiny letters in the corner, always suit a man’s fancy. ’ A slight broadening of the shoulders is manifest among the latest gowns sent from Paris, and this effect is accomplished va- riously by small crescent-shaped puffs, epaulettes, Hungarian caps, and triple frills arranged one above the other and graduating to sharp points at each end. These are applied at the top of the arm, with a corresponding trimming at the wrist or elbow. . Norfolk effects in shirt waists, as well as jackets are one of the important features of the season's smart styles. Graduated Nor- folk pleats are arranged on both the backs and fronts of new shirt waists that have a front closing. The blouse hishop sleeves are completed with shapely turnover cuffs, and the removable stock is also given an attractive finish by small turnover points. Power of Forgetting. Some things are better forgotten than remembered. The habit of overlooking family jars, of failing to see the sour looks, and not hearing the bard word, and set- ting aside forever the disagreement is a habit that makes for family peace. Itis throwing stones in the path out of one’s way. Life is short at best, and we should make it a rule to grasp only the pleasant things and count only days of sunshine. Each one of us has a pet failing. In weari- ness and at times when not on guard out comes the impatient 1eply or the spiteful word which a moment after we feel that we would give anything in our possession could we but recall it. Unforeseen and unguarded impulses may be at the root of your neighbor’s peculiarities. Be patient and forget. ] : Chose the Wrong Evil. The devil once appeared to a young man, and, telling him that be held him in his power, bade him do one of three things. ““To-night,”’ said the devil, “you must get drunk, or murder your wife, or throw your mother-in-law out of the second-floor front window.” The young man, who was nat- urally of a gentle disposition, chose the first alternative. So he went out that night and got beastly drunk, came home and murdered his wife and threw his mother-in-law out of the second-floor front window. Moral—Of three evils never choose the least. ——The new grip, as it has been called, possesses all the inconveniences of the more familiar disease with the added discomfort that comes from its way of concentrating all its sufferings into a short space of time. According to physicians it is not allied in any way with the famous influenza, but is merely a form of cold that happens to be more common this year than ever before. “Tt seizes the patient suddenly,’’ said a doctor yesterday, ‘‘and the most striking feature of it is the rapidity with which all the symptoms of the most serious influenza are felt. “Pwo or three hours after the patient has taken cold the pains that spread through the body and the distress that he experiences in every way are comparable only to the feelings of a person with a well-developed case of influenza. “‘These sensations do not continue long if the treatment is begun immediately. But in any case, the intensity of the discomfort while the preliminary stages of the cold last is greater even than in the case of the ordinary intluenza.’’ Head Torn Off By Trolley. Delaware County Man Terribly Mangled oy Ches- ter Street Car. CHESTER, Pa., Nov 27.—Peter Melony, a drover, living in Springfield township, Delaware county, was struck by a Chester and Darby line trolley car last evening on Ninth street and instantly killed. He was knocked from his wagon and wedged be- neath the gearing of the car, his head torn off and his body terribly mangled. It was necessary to use jacks to hoist the car to get his body free from the gearing. The horses were also killed. He was driving on the track and the motorman did not see him in time to avert the accident. A widow and three children survive him.
