Bellefonte, Pa., April 18, 1902 FARM NOTES. —Salt pat on manure heaps will tend to prevent firefanging. © —If your old strawberry patch does not give promise of bearing a satisfactory crop. of berries plow it and use it asa garden plot. —There is a difference of men as well asin animals. Some will get more profit from a given animal and a given amount of food than will another. Is not that your ex perience ? —More pigs are lost in the summer sea- son from improper feeding than from any other cause. They are compelled to con- sume foods that are not conducive to thrift, and which lead to disease in the herds. Some feeders keep slop in barrels, which ferments until sour, haying a very dis- agreeable odor, the pigs being fed largely upon the slop. This kind of food is more injurious in summer than in winter, as it induces bowel disease. The best slop is milk and bran, freshly made, with grass, vegetables and plenty of pure water, which will induce growth and keep the pigs in good condition. —The dairy business is one that is open to any enterprising former who will make it a point to deviate from the methods now practiced on some farms. A visit to many dairy farms will disclose the fact that but little regard is given to matters that are essential to securing high prices. Cleanli- ness in the stable is more important than in the dairy. Cows are frequently milked with their bodies plastered with manure, and even the teats and udders are often filthy. Milking is done in a hurry, and it goes to market containing filth in a solu- able form which the strainer cannot re- move. All dairy farms are not conducted in such a slovenly manner, but there are hundreds of dairy farms upon which thor- ough cleanliness is lacking. Each cow should be kept clean, her hide brushed, udder washed and the stalls made clean. There should be no filth in the stable, and the hands of the milkers should be wash- ed clean before beginning the work of milking. —~Care should be taken in cribbing corn to protect it against rats. Cribs should be raised from the ground so that the floor can not be gnawed through and the posts should he so gnarded that they cannot be climbed. I know of no better plan than the old one of covering the top of each post with a galvanized iron pan, extending out 80 that the rats cannot climb around it: strips of galvanized iron may be nailed around the top of the p sts, flaring out- ward and downward, like the eaves cf a house, so that the rat can 1 0t pass the ob- struction. Cribs should not he near ‘other buildings. and everywhere care should be taken to avoid building rat harbors. The pests of rats does not stop with mere loss of the grain they consume, although when corn is 50 cents per bushel this loss is well nigh intolerable; they visit dwelling and poultry yard, and everything about the farm suffers. All should hegin at the bhe- ginning to reduce this nuisance by crib- hing the corn so that there will be no en- couragement to the rat family. © —The careless dairyman has no possible excuse for existence. His cans are more than likely to be rinsed in run water. If hot water chances to be convenient, they may be scalded over ina week or two. If he makes butter at home, he does it with- - out a thefmometer. The youngest child who can turn the handle or lift the dasher is placed at the churn, and told to remain until he hears the buttermilk ‘'slashing round !"” This man, if he insists on keep- ing cows, should take his milk to a crea- mery and buy his butter there. He isa fossil, not a dairyman. Bat, if a wan can keep his milk clean every day in the year, if he can be inter- ested in the sweetness of his milk ans, if he can he thoroughly convinced of the vir- tues of water actually at boiling point as the only destruction of germs of ill flavor, if he can watch over his cream and control its ripening, and chain with his thermom- eter and his understanding as well as with his bands, if he can be euthusiastic over the grain of his butter and keep before his mind’s eye the perfect product, rather than the dollars and cents represented by it— then he has found his vocation and is like- ly to do it credit.—Edith Evans before the Arizona Agricultural Association. —The culture of celery has spread over all the United States. Originally it was a mere garden crop, being grown in very small quantities. Now, however, its cul- ture has so extended that it may be con- sidered both a garden and a field crop. It is grown from Maine to Louisiana and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. No less than 26 stations have made experiments with it and reported results in bulletins: Its first culture began near New York in 1858, and Peter Henderson was one of the first grow- ers. This plant grows wild in England and some parts of Europe. It has generally been supposed that celery was not cultivat- ed till this century, but this is declared to he a mistake. It is declared that its culti- vation dates hack at least 2,000 years, though it was used only asa medicinal herb principally. Not till the century that just closed did it become a common garden vegetable. The plant has been developed in two ways; in one, the bottom has heen enlarged into a turnip-like root. This is eaten by Europeans under the name of celeriac. In the other development. the stalk has been 1endered large and tender, and this is the form in which we know it in this country. The land largely used for the growing of celery in this country is reclaimed swamp and marsh land. This gives a rich, deep, loose soil, just suited to celery. Such lands can be used only when thoroughly drained. Here it makes a larger growth than on the uplands, but the plant grown on the nplands is frequently of better flavor. The time of seed sowing depends on when the celery is wanted for use. To get an early crop seed can he sown in the house as early as February. The soil is kept moist and the boxes away from sunlight. When the plants begin to appear they should he gradually accustomed to the light. Ib is better to transplant them once or twice before removing them to the open garden. The soil must be made rich, if good re- sults are expected. The plant foods most used are nitrogen and potash. When the plants are about ten inches high, the celery that is wanted for fall use should be bank- ed up to blanch it,and this operation should be repeated as the tops grow, The celery intended for swinter storing should be earthed sufficiently to induce the stalks to grow upright.— Farmer's Review. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. A house is built of bricks and stones, of sills and posts and piers, But a home is built of loving deeds that stand a thousand years, A house, though but a humble cot, within its walls may hold A home of priceless beauty, rich in Love's * eternal gold. The men of earth build houses—halls and chambers, roofs and domes-- But the women of the earth--God knows !-the women build the homes. Eve could not stray from Paradise, for, oh, no matter where Her gracious presence lit the way, lv ! Paradise was there. Very artistic among the new wall-papers are the foliage-papers with floral ‘‘crowns’’ —for instance, the paper for the side-walls will be in a design of clover leaves with a crown of big pink clover blossoms and dado of plain green. Or fancy a room which has walls covered with a paper upon the cream white ground of which is an effectively drawn. and colored design of the green leaves and stems of the gladiolus ‘‘crown- ed’’ by a mass of gladioluses, in brilliant coloring and arranged in a hedge of flaming tints. Lace collars are especially useful. For the amateur dressmaker a lace collar covers a multitude of sins. The cut of waist across the shoulders does not so much matter if there is a wide lace collar to cover it. The tendency toward Irish crochet and Irish lace of every description, both fine and coarse, is one of the noticeable features of fashion. It should be a positive duty in every well-regulated home to come down to breakfast with a cheerful morning face, to find fault with nothing and to talk of pleasant things. The large hats draped around the brim with lace scarfs with hanging ends at the back are undeniably picturesque on the tall, lily-like type of femininity, but the roly-poly little woman may as well make up her mind that this sort of chapeau does not go well with her particular style of beauty. : Dr. S. Weir Mitchell deliberately main- tains that for all the best purposes of fe- male society it would he better that Amer- ican girls were not educated at all until they were 17, than that they be over- wrought, as they are at present. They study seven or eight hours a day when two or three would be sufficient to keep their intelligence in training—and all for what ? To spend their after years on a sofa or sick room, and to be a hurden instead of a help to those who are dearest to them. It is a tremendous saying, from one speaking with authority, that as much domestic unhappiness is caused in America hy nervousness among women as by dram- drinking among men. Yet such is Dr. Mitchell’s verdict. If girls are’ maintained in a normal nervous condition until they are 17 they may study as hard asthey please afterward without imperiling the woman’s life. But let there be’"ho mistake about it. Over- work and unnathral worry from Sor 9 to 17 mean ruin and wretchedness from 17 until early death.” He Every: ‘woman is dealing more or -less earnestly just now with the question of her summer silk gown. The question is wheth- er she shall buy a moire foulard, an em- broidered pongee, a taffeta crepe or a sheeny figured lonisine. Of course for the pure fashion of (he thing a biscuit brown, hand- woven, embroidered pongee must he grave- ly considered. It comes done up in a box, needleworked in rich oriental designs and colors, and very often it shows a thread of gold among the beautiful reds or greens of the applied designs. There is nothing cooler and more durable than a pongee,and it positively invites the use of all semi- oriental jewelry,dull Barmah-gold buckles set with cloudy emeralds, ete. When it is a foulard or China silk that comes under discussion and incorporation into a gown for usual summer wearing, embroidered muslin or yellow batiste is what the dressmaker demands as the dec- orative associate of either. The fashionable skirt of the moment is less, trained, but still very long in front and at the sides, and just rounded at the back; they fit closely all round the hips, and are very full from the knee. For morning wear the tailor frock of course prevails. and either little holeros or long coats are worn. The little short jacket has almost entirely disappeared, and in its stead is a three-quarter length, with sacque back and straight front, much stitched and strapped and silk-embroidered. The smart- est of all are made of black taffetas In the spring, as iu the fall, the natural thinning of her locks causes more than one woman to dream of permanent and prem- ature baldness. In fact, while it is well enough to keep from worrying, still an im- poverished scalp is not likely to rectify it- self in a hurry and it isn’t a case where time is of no account. There are one or tivo important points that are worth noticing in connection with the care of hair. For one thing, the use of soda and of ammonia in washing the hair is not to be encouraged. The one causes it to break and fall out, the other bas a whitening tendency. Two of the best shampooing mixtures have egg yolks as their foundatiou. For instance, beat the yolk of an egg and half » teaspoonful of lemon juice together and add to the water in which the hair is washed, using clear water for rinsing. Again mix together one beaten yolk of egg and one ounce of rosemary spirits. Other shampooing mixtures are : One ounce of powdered horax, twenty drops of camphor and ten drops of bergamot in two of water, one ounce of glycerine ,two ounces of alcohol and ten drops of any chosen per- fume in one quart of water, one onnce of powdered borax, one ounce of rosemary, one ounce of alcohol and three onnces of rosewater in one quart of water. Using any of these mixtures, the proper way to shampoo the hair is to part it down the back of the head, comb the two strands out, tying them securely as near the head as possible and then wash both scalp and hair thoroughly. The water must he tepid and the rinsing water cold. It is even better to braid the hair loosely before washing, as this pre- vents tangling. Whenever possible dry the hair in the sun. A dry massage with the finger tips shonld follow a shampoo,and if the hair is natural- ly dry alittle almond oil rubbed in will pourish it. Nothing is quite so good for the scalp prone to dandruff as systematic massages. Any scalp is benefited by being gently mas- saged for twenty minutes every night with the fingers dipped in cold salt water. .
