EE ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Bewsruaic adn Bellefonte, Pa., April Il, 1902 FARM NOTES. —Have at least one hive of bees if fruit isa speciality. Bees are a valuable assist- ants in fertilizing the blossoms. —One of the causes of complaints with garden seeds is that many farmers make mistakes in planting and caring for the crops. Lima beans are planted with early peas, and string beans are put in too soon. —Some horses cannot eat oat straw. I came near losing a good horse once from impaction of the bowls due, without doubt to feeding oat straw. Be careful to watch the effect of giving such food to your horses. — There is nearly always considerable fungus growth on the limbs and trunks of trees. Scrape and wash thoroughly with a strong solution of concentrated lye. A few days after so doing apply whitewash using it plentifully, repeating the work again a few months later. The trees will be im- proved both in vigor and appearance. — Rose bushes should be well trimmed and given shallow cultivation. They will not thrive if surrounded by grass. If the bushes are weak water them oncea week with a solution made by dissolving a tea- spoonful of nitrate of soda and the same quantity of phosphate of potash in a pint of water, saturating the ground around each bush. Always stir the surface of the ground when it becomes dry. —Do not miss having small patchesof sage, mint, thyme and other seasoning plants. Parsley can be grown from seeds the first year, and will last two or more seasons if cared for. Spear mint will grow and in- crease from a few plants, and will thrive on a damp location. Sage, if once established will remain for years. Pot plants take up but little room and can be made ornamen- tal in a garden. —The best breeds of fowls for free range are the non-setters. All non-setters lay eggs with white shells, and will not become broody unless made excessively fat. They are active and in the summer season, when grass and insects can be obtained, are near- ly self supporting. Among the favorites may be mentioned the Leghorns, which are divided into the brown, black, white, buff and Dominique varieties, differing only in color, and they are hardy and vigorous. They also make good winter layers if given warn quarters, and, being small in size, more of them can be kept on a given space than of the larger breeds. —Grass and hay are crops that depend largely upon an abundance of moisture to give the largest yields, and the object of every farmer is to get hi: giass crop as far ahead as possible before the dry weather of summer sets in. Sometimes asingle show- er, at a time when the ground is dry, is worth more than a prolonged period of rain early in the season. Sod land is always ready to make growth assoon as the warmth of spring begins, but when new past- ures or grass crops are seeded down early in the spring the future progress of the crop wiil depend largely upon the manner in which the land was prepared and the amount of plant food supplied. There is no substitute for grass in the summer sea- son, as it provides bulky, and succulent food before other crops are ready, largely adding to the production of milk, butter and meat, and 18 harvested by the animals themselves while on the pasture, thus sav- ing considerable labor in feeding, as well as providing a variety of foods that cannot be secured in any other manner. The grass grown for hay should be a separate crop. Clover and timothy are the standards for bay, although they do not ripen together. No hay grasses should be pastured, as the feet of the animals do con- siderable harm, while the field is never eaten off evenly. The pasture grasses, in- tended for grazing purposes only, should consist of as many varieties as possible, while such is not necessary for the hay crop. A variety of grass that is indigenous to the soil of the pasture lot may soon- er or later crowd ous all other kinds and take possession, but if such variety is relish- ed by stock. and maintains its hold on the land, it will probably be found better than any other kind on account of its hardiness and ability to withstand droughts. Whether for hay or pasture, the land should be deeply plowed and well harrow- ed, so as to have the soil in the finest pos- sible condition. This is essential, for the reason that the voung plants will have bet- ter facilities for feeding and will rapidly increase in root growth before the warm days of July and August. The more early growth the grass can make the better it will be able to endure a dry spell. If manure is used itshould be thoroughly de- composed, in order that all seeds of weeds may he destroyed, as it is difficult to get at weeds growing on a grass plot. The safer method is toapply fertilizers. Wood ashes are excellent, but a mixture of 100 pounds of nitrate of soda, 125 pounds sulphate of potash, and 50 pounds nitrate of soda, per acre, if the land is in moderate condition, will give the grass an early start and enable it to hecome well established before meet- ing with lack of moisture. The main point in the growing of a grass crop is to get an even and uniform stand at the beginning, for any gain at the start will be of advan- tage at later periods of growth. While mixed grasses should be preferred on a pasture field, it is better to grow hay crops singly—unmixed—the mixing of the foods to be done at the barn when feeding the animals, after harvesting the grass crops. Ic is better for the farmer not to depend upon a single kind of hay crop, as prolonged drought may destroy it. In- stead of growing clover and timothy only, there should be fields of cow peas, Hunga- rian grass, and fodder corn, which can, if necessary, he seeded late and mowed at any stage of growth, according to circum- stances. Pasture lands may include rye as a late fall and early spring supply, but grown separately from the grasses, while crimson clover is also another late and early crop that may be made to fill up a gap, being also an excellent green manurial crop. An old sod that has furnished a crop for several years need not he plowed under be- cause of beginning to fail. It may only need a liberal application of fertilizer to become useful again, but if the best varie- ties of grasses have disappeared, and some undesirable kind provides the green food of the pasture, it should be plowed under and cultivated in corn, so as to give the land thorough working, though the best time to do so is in the'fall, using lime on the sod and plowing in a manner so as to bury all the sod, in order to prevent it from growing the following spring. The cause of failure of pastures is largely dne to close grazing and trampling by the animals ; hence it should be the rule to have a change of pastures, in order to prevent cropping the grass too close to the ground. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. In her dress the stout woman must exer- cise the greatest care ; a reserved taste and a knowledge of the fitness of things will carry her over the pitfalls of color and large hats. The extreme of fashion must be avoided ; bright colors, plaids, and, in fact, anything pronounced. either in color or in style, must be set aside. Stripes, if they be very narrow, black, and some shades of gray are generally becoming to stont women. Fancy neck dressings and fussy belts should be avoided like the plague. Never meddle with the ear if a foreign body, such asa bead, button or sced ente:s, leave it absolutely alone, but have a phy ~i- cian attend to it. More damage has been done by injudicious attempts at the extrac- tion of a foreign body than could ever come from its presence in the ear. Never put anything in the ear for the re- lief of toothache. Never apply a poultice to the inside of the canal of the ear. Never drop anything in the ear unless it has been previously warmed. Never use anything but a syringe and warm water for cleansing the ears. Never strike or box a child’s ears; this bas been known to rupture the drambead and cause incurable deafness. Never wet the hair if you have any tend- ency to deafness ; wear an oiled silk cap when bathing, and refrain from diving. Never scratch the ears with anything but the fingers if they itch. Do not use the head of a pin, hairpins, pencil tips, orany- thing of that nature. Never be alarmed if an insect enters the ear. Pouring warm water into the canal will drown it, when it will generally come to the surface, and can be easily removed by the fingers. A few puffs of smoke blown into the ear will stupefy the insect. Recipe for Mousse.—One pint of rich cream, one ounce of grated bitter chocolate two thirds cup of granulated sugar, oue- half cup seeded raisins, two thirds pound package of shredded cocoanut and oue tea- spoon of vanilla extract.” Reserve one tea- spoon of chocolate and one fourth cup of cocoanut for garnishing. Barely cover the raisins with boiling water to plump them ; drain after 15 minutes ; dry well and dust with powdered sugar to prevent them sink- ing to the bottom. Chop the cocoanut fine and dust also with the sugar, a heaping tea- spoon for each. Have ready a chilled mold; a small lard pail will do, or the freezer can is still better. Whip the cream, drain well and put a layer in the can, sprinkle with the chocolate; then another layer of cream, using the raisins ; now more cream, strew- ing thickly with the cocoanut, and continue uatil all is used up. Pack in ice and salt five hours; no less. Then unmould and garnish with one cup of whipped cream, sweetened with one fourth cup of powdered sugar and flavored with one teaspoonful of vanilla. Strew with the cho:olate and cocoanut. It all mothers did their duty there would be fewer jails in this country. A hot cloth around the mould will help jelly or ices to come from it without stick- ing. “If men had what their wives thought was coming to them,’ remarks a novel of the moment, ‘‘half of them would be in jail and the other half would be millionaires. The Puritan stock, also called the bishop stock, is one of the popular modelsin neck- wear. It is made of pique or duck and is a stock with turn over that extends down in the front in two tab ends like a bishop's stock. Dainty embroidery beautifies it. Green linen dresses will be seen this summer; it sounds rather daring, but looks charming on warm days. : Deep basques are daily taking a greater hold upon feminine favor, and there is an uncompromising severity about the style of these basqued gowns entirely opposed to the soft frivolous modes of the reception and evening gown. The fancifully shaped revers on these tailor suits show all sorts of embroideries, and there is a liberal use of lace in the way of jabots and fronts, which are worn with the habit coat. Paquin has just created a very fascinat- ing coat for ‘every day’’ wear. His latest model is carried out in black cloth, with very small basque ending just short of the centre of the waist in front. This is con- sidered more smart than the habit basque. The body of the coat is slightly bloused, and the sleeves also are bloused and gather- ed into a wristband, stitched to match the upright collar. This coat does not close, but is held together by an enameled clasp at the neck, and a narrow glace silk belt, finished with a buckle matching the clasp. A model host must to all appearances be made of stone, so far as disagreeable hap- penings are concerned. Even though a guest or careless waiter inadvertently breaks a bit of china which can never be re- placed she must smile as though the loss of the whole set would but emphasize the pleasure of the evening. Her well bred calm inspires her guests with a feeling of confidence, and, though in her heart she may be very dubious about certain import- ant details of her dinner or dance, if she does not show her anxiety everything will pass off to a happy conclusion. A flurried hostess or nervous host whose countenance but badly conceals the worry felt can do more than if the soup were serv- ed stone cold and the salad dressing was ruined by a too bouutiful quantity of vine- gar. rn : An imperturable calin and a ready tact are the two important factors in the mak- ing of a model hostess. Secure these by hook or crook, and you need never fear for the success of any of your entertainments. Stains on marble can be removed by rub- bing them well with a toothbrush dipped in powdered chalk and ammonia. The hat of white Irish point lace and gar- | landsol small pink roses is the most in vogue for dressy occasions; it will be very popular this summer with white embroidered dresses. Pique, marseilles and linen are to be used chiefly for the morning gown for gen- eral utility wear. A smart linen frock in robin’s-egg blue is trimmed with needle- work, through which is ran a narrow black velvet ribbon. The waist is made with narrow box plaits, between which are graduated stripes of the embroidery and velvet. With this is to be worn a coarse straw hat of deep yellow shade, covered with the bluest of blue corn flowers, among which nestles a black velvet shepherdess how. This is certainly a costume to attract all eves as miladi strolls through the vil- lage street, upon marketing errands intent. Where Dinners Cost Five Cents, A large proportion of the population of Naples live at public kitchens or cooking stands, which are found on ev- ery block in the densely settled portions of the town. They are generally dingy little rooms, the walls blackened with the grease and smoke of generations. In the rear is an old fashioned fireplace with a number of pots and kettles, from which savory steam arises. The largest is always for macaroni, for that is the staff of life. The others contain soup and various kinds of fish and vegetables, while on the counter, which usually projects into the street, the cooked food is spread out in large pans and bowls. The customers come along with pans and buckets, look over the stock and make their selection. The prices are remarkably low. Fish, vegetables, fruit and macaroni, the chief articles of Neapolitan diet, are cheaper here, it is said, than in any other place in the world, and at one of these cooking shops a good dinner can be obtained for 2 cents and enough for a family for 5 eents.—Chicago Recorad- Herald. The Baffled Agent. “Qur improved sewing machine,” said the agent as he set the little wonder clicking, “can be handled by a child, it’s so easy to run.” “It seams easy,” said the wife of the paragrapher as she watched the nim- ble needle. Then the agent slowly and sadly loaded the machine back on the wagon and drove away.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Self Distrust, “What you lack,” said the person who reads your character, “is self con- fidence.” “I can’t help it,” said the young man. “You see, I was for a number of years employed in the work of preparing weather predictions.” — Washington Star.
