Bellefonte, Pa., May 9, 1902 —————— FARM NOTES. —Cleanliness, care and common sense are absolutely necessary at every point of management with poultry. —-When it is not convenient to apply a solution of concentrated lye on trees dust them well with fine wood ashes when the dew is on the branches. —_ Wheat bran is valuable not alone for its nutrition. It is an excellent alternative for stock fed on meadow hay. For milch cows it should be made into a mash. --For cholera in chickens add a tea- spoonful of liquid carbolic acid toa pint and a half of water. Mix the soft food with this and allow the fowls no other wa- ter to drink. __A farmer who kept 40 head of cattle and 40 horses used well cured corn fodder chaffed and fed with grain ground and mixed with it and claimed it was worth as much as the corn itself. —Is your cellar properly ventilated ? Most cellars are. damp and the air impure and are not healthy. The family lives over the cellar usually and should not be re- quired to breathe impurities. — There are two diseases termed hog cholera, one affecting the howels (the true cholera) and the other which attacks the lungs and known as swine plague. An animal may also have both diseases at the same time, but such cases are rare. — Nearly all experienced growers of pota- toes now favor level culture for the crop, especially if the season is dry. Level cul- ture permits of better opportunity for de- stroying weeds,as well as providing a loose top soil as an effective mulch, which assists the soil in retaining and providing mois- ture. — Wire-worms are known to cause much damage in cucumber and melon patches. It is claimed that if potatoes are buried about one foot apart and six inches deep around the vines the worms will leave the melons or cucumbers and feed upon the potatoes. In this way the worms may be caught and destroyed with but little labor. — As a remedy against cabbage worms mix a tablespoonful of red pepper, one of black pepper and one of ground yellow mustard with a pound of wheat flour. Once a week dust each cabbage with the prepar- ed flour while the plants are moist with dew. A pound of flour will answer for dusting about 200 plants. —The best cow for each one of us is the cow we like best to handle and be around. There is such a thing as incompatibility of temper between the man and his cow often- times, and this fact often marks the line between success and failure. The man who loves his cows and cares for them as a man will who has this affection for his stock will most assuredly receive better returns gor his labor than the one who simply tolerates his dairy.—Dairy and Creamery. — Various remedies are required to keep inseots from garden vegetables. Spray the tomatoes, potatoes aud egg plants with Paris green, a teaspoonful in a gallon of water. Scatter tobacco refuse around the cucumber vines. Dust cabbages with flour, to which a little red pepper and black pep- per are added. Repeat as often as nec- essary. Paris green will destroy all biting. insects. The best fertilizer to use is proba bly acid phosphate,as your garden is proba- bly well supplied with other plant foods, judging from the early growth of the crops. — Potash is the fertilizing element of- tenest needed in an orchard. The roots of fruit trees in most cases find all the nitrogen needed for growth and enough of phos- phoric acid to perfect the seed. With the exception of nuts, the seeds is not an ohject $0 be fertilized for, but the flavor and color of the pulp, and there is where potash gets in its work. Kainit or muriate of potash —500 to 700 pounds of the former or 250 pounds of the latter per acre—will nearly always prove beneficial even when repeat- ed every year. Wood ashes can always be used to good advantage in large quantities. We have never known too much wood ashes applied to an orchard. —Setting a Hen.—I begin with a box, putting earth into it, then straw, then a handful of wood ashes scattered over all. I try the hen a day or two on the nest egg, © and if she means business I take that away and give her a full setting. If the eggs have been traveling, let them stand in a safe warm place for twenty-four hours to put the germs in right position when set. If you give them to the hen just after the journey, you will probably have spoiled eggs instead of chicks. Sprinkle the eggs two or three times a week to give them necessary moisture. Feed the hen every day, and see that she returns to her nest and ie not disturbed.—Mrs. E. Schoenborn. —The onion is having a sort of boom in various sections just now as a good money orop. Onions, it is hardly necessary to state, may be grown from seeds or sets. Bailey has described up to date onion cult- are in bref as follows : If seeds are used, they may be sown in the open ground where the bulbs are to mature, or they may be sown in green- houses or hotbeds and the young plants transplanted to the rows in the open ground. In sowing out of doors seeds should be put in as early as possible in shallow drills three to three and a half feet apart and covered with a half inch of fine moist earth. They need to be very ocare- fully weeded at first, but if the ground is clean and mellow and the rows straight the wheel hoe will be able to take full charge of the work early in the season. It has been repeatedly shown that cheaper, better and earlier onions can be grown by trans- planting the plants from greenhouses or hotbeds, where the seeds are sown very early. When the plantlets are as large as a lead pencil, they are set four inches apart in rows three feet asunder, and cultivation is immediately begun with the wheel hee. In growing from sets the planting is made in much the same way. Multiplier or potato onions are gimilarly managed. Prize Taker is probably the most popular variety of the present day. —— Prussia is becoming notorious for ex- traordinary murders. A man named Beck at Konigshurg killed his wife, put the body in a box and kept it by him for eighteen months without being detected. His wife's absence wae concealed by his mistress’ go- ing to Danzig and beginning divorce pro- ceedings against him in the name of the murdered woman. The body was discov- ered through the curiosity of his former landlord, with whom he left a box on mov- ing from his apartments. When he found fs police were after him Beck shot him- self. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. One can but smile to hear a fair one ask for what wear a pongee dress is suitable. |- Naturally, it all depends. If the dress is made into a practical little blouse or shirt- waist suit, with stitching or a piping at the most by way of trimming, it is suitable for marketing, shopping or any ordinary morn- ing wear. Enriched with a wealth of lace appliques, elaborated by accordeon pleat- ing, and perhaps a touch of velvet, it is in the costume class, and is suitable for great occasions. Perhaps there is no greater source of friction in a household with servants than the habit of allowing the children of the family to be impertinent and tyrannical. This should never be permitted. Nothing is more ill-bred and more disastrous to b th. Servants must do a great deal of extra work where there are children in the house. It is impossible to arrange matters so that this will not be true, and the least that can be done is to bave the children courteous in manner and speech. If chil- dren see their parents polite it will be sec- ond nature for them to be polite also, and their rare lapses will be forgiven quickly. Everyone agrees that servants should not be permitted to punish children or be un- kind to them, but children should not be permitted to torment a servant,and parents who excuse it are responsible for their own discomfort. Never put clothes away unbrushed, nor forget to put the trees in boots and shoes when taken off, to pull and straighten out gloves, to roll up veils carefully, and never to sit about in a walking dress in- doors, are golden rules to remember for the preservation of clothes, while half the bat- tle lies in the manner of putting them on. The study of the lines of the figure, the right adjustment of the belt,and the dainty finish of the neckband, the pose of the head and carriage and walk, are all as if written in an unknown tongue to the average wom- an, and therein, far more than in the actual clothes, lie the secrets of good dressing, as accessible to the poor as to the rich woman. A Gibson shirtwaist is one necessary if you would be quite up to date. The special outline which stamps the waist with this name is the broad, rather square, shoulder effect made by one,two or three pleats turning toward the shoulder, the outside one extending well over the sleeves. The pleat is folded to slope gradually to the waist, both back and front. Two rows of round buttons set close to- gether have been the finish down the front all winter, but now the narrow box pleat with handsome studs is used, and also a band of embroidery. The converging line of the pleats is a becoming one, and re- deems the waist from what might be other- wise a rather masculine effect. This Gib- son waist idea has blossomed out in various ways,in one of which it forms part of cloth and linen costumes, the skirts being made in some simple style, tucked and trimmed with bands and short enough just to clear the ground. The Gibson blouse coat is another form, made just like the shirtwaist, except that it has no collar and is cut down in an open V at the neck to show the blouse nnder- neath. A stitched band fitting around the neck and down to the waist line is the finish. For the transparent shirtwaist, it is a good idea to have a low-cut short sleeve wash silk under bodice, which, if you are stout, may be bowed a little at the sides and back to give a trim effect. Or the lin- ing may be high-necked. Collars are made of the material of the suit. They are all worn with turnover, embroidered in white or brilliant colors. Nothing is finished off at the neckband, so that the buyer may use discretion about the collar. Women are tired of matching all kinds of stocks to blouses. They want something ready at hand. Belts are made in so many ways that they could take up a whole letter. The simplest ones are of stitched bands to match the fabric. A new idea for wear with all light gowns is to have unlined, unhoned belts of butch- er’s linen, cut on the bias, very wide, and pulled through a pearl buckle at the back or front. These are put in the wash like handkerchiefs and are all the better for a quantity of starch. Everything is in suits. Nothing in sepa- rate blouses except ecru and white. The most serviceable gown brought out by the houses here is the real linen crash string color. Not the inexpensive crash that shrinks if you look at it and that changes color when you wash it. But the genuine stuff used raw from the looms in its natural weave and color, with a great many rough places over the surface. The best model in this has a seven-gored skirt, fastened down front at side under a bias band of the crash, two inches wide, piped with white butcher’s linen. The back is pus into six inverted pleats. There are two bias bands around foot, piped with white, that are cat into points on each side of the band that runs from the waist. The blouse is put into box pleats down the back, and down the front there are two very wide double box pleats on each side of a V-shaped vest of white butcher’s linen. These pleats have three rows of stitching 0 the edges and are piped with white inen. The collar ie of the crash, piped with white, and finished with turnover of white linen, embroidered in scarlet and black. The belt is of white linen, run through a pearl buckle. The sleeves are finished with stitched wristbands of linen, piped with white. Percale will have quitea run as a fabric this season. In the good quality it washes very well and the ironing gives a shiny surface to it which is very pretty. Some fetching tub gowns are made of it in the pin dot designs. Red or pale blue or black on a white surface are charming. One design that was simple and effective was made up in white with a pale blue dot. The skirt was seven-gored, with shaped flounce put on in a point in front and graduating high in back to another point. The hem of this was covered with a three- inch band of pale blue linen, holding eight rows of white stitching. It was lapped over with a deep point in the center of front and back, in a line un- der the point of ruffle. The blouse was put into tiny box pleats at the shoulder, front and back. It was slightly double-breasted, finished with three-inch band of pale blue linen holding eight rows of stitching. On the inside of this band was a row of fine, round pearl buttons. The collar was of blue, stitched with white and lapped over to a deep point in the back, fastened with white silk loops and pearl buttons. The sleeves had stitch- ed bands of the percale running from wrist half way to elbow. They were gathered into a two-inch band of blue linen, heavily stitched and lapped with a point on top. The belt was of blue linen run through a pearl buckle. Woed Pulp. How Trees Are Changed Into Paper. A Big Adiron- dack Mill. Let us consider how newspaper is made in one of the big mills of the Adirondack mountains, where the giant machines, rat- tling on, day after day, never stopping, are scarcely able to supply the demand of a single New York newspaper. The timber which is felled in the forests of the North in winter, is floated to the mill in the mountain streams by the spring freshets and piled up in great heaps about the mill buildings, whose many roofs, chimneys and towers form a strange picture in the wilder- ness against the background of cloudtopped mountains. By being fed to the shrieking saws the spruce logs are cut into pieces that are no longer than a man’s arm. ‘‘Barking’’ ma- chines, which have dikes of rapidly whirl- ing radial knives, attack the wood and tear off the bark. To prevent a waste of any part of the timber an endless chain conveyor carries the bark to the boiler room where it is fed to the tires. Another con- veyor, like the trottoir roulant at Paris, carries the clean logs to the grinding room, where a long line of three horned monsters is waiting for them. Flumes, besides which men are mere pig- mies, bring the mountain torrents rushing down to the grinding room, feeding the energy of forest cataracts to the great tur- bines. They have an enormous work to do. Within the iron cases of the three- horned monsters are grindstones of a spe- cial hardness, turned by the turbines. The “horns” are hydraulic presses, which force the logs under them against the stones. Thus the wood is ground to pulp, the stones eating away three feet of wood an hour. The engineer tells us that more than 10,000 horsepower of energy is needed to convert one cord of spruce into pulp, and that the mills use more power than a whole manufacturing city in New England. Cold water flows continuously on the grind- stones to prevent the friction setting fire to the wood. and the mixture of the ground wood and water, which flows away from the grinders, as a pinkish, gruel-live fluid, runs over dams and through screens and drying-machines, until a thick mass, it is either put in storage tanks, in hulk, or formed by machinery into thick sheets that can be rolled up like blankets. It is then ground wood pulp, ready for the paper ma- chines. The sulphite pulp is prepared in a differ- ent way. The iogs, when they come from the barking machines, are cut up length- wise, by ‘‘splitters,”” and then cut cross- wise, by ‘‘chippers,’’ into pieces less than an inch thick. This thickness gives the length of the fiber. A ‘‘shipper’’ with its whirling knives eats up a hundred cords of wood in a day. By falling on another “moving sidewalk’’ the chips are carried away to be screened and then hand picked —to sort ous dust and dirt—and then are carried to storage bins above the great sul- phite ‘‘digesters’’—monster steel cylinders, with conical ends, standing upright in a row.—From Success. : $20,000 for Child’s Injuries. After being out less than an hour the jury in the United States circuit court in New York on Wednesday gave a verdict of $20,000 to the mother of Easton E. Devore agains the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railway for injuries to her child received 10 years ago, when he was a year and four months old. A verdict or $10,- 000 was some time ago overturned by the the court of appeals on a technicality. Easton E. Devore, while driving with his wife and child, was killed at Hope Crossing, N. J., in Nov. 1892. Aft the time of the accident there was such a sleet storm that Mr. Devore was unable to see or hear the train. The carriage in which he rode was struck by the locomotive. The father was killed outright, Mrs. Devore was severely injured, and the infant son was terribly crushed. The child recovered but he has never had the use of his limbs, and now at 11 years of age, he has the mind of an infant. . The child was in court and his injuries were exhibited to the jury. It required four days to present the testimony. The verdict was reached on the first ballot. Mrs. Devore’s counsel, William D. Tyn- dall and Walter K. Barton, have two more suits pending for ber in Sullivan county. Both will be tried this month. One is for the loss of her husband, the other for in- juries received by herself in the same ac- cident that resulted so disastrounsly for her infant son. To Pay 157 Roses for Back Rent. On Sunday, June 8th, the Tulpehoken Reformed church, frequently called Lein- bach’s, situated a short distance from Stouchsburg, will pay 157 red roses as 157 years’ rent to the descendants of Casper Wistar, who, a century and a half ago, was a Brass button manufacturer of Philadel- phia. By a deed dated December 10th, 1745, Wistar conveyed a tract of 100 acres of land to the trustees of the church, upon condition that they ‘‘are to bave and to hold the property under the propertionable part of the proprietary ground rent aceru- ing, to be one red rose annually.”” There is no record that the rent was ever paid, and recently it was decided to pay the rent to date. : Descendants of Casper Wistar, from Phila- delphia, will attend the services and re- ceive the roses. ——Governor Stone and other sports- men have organized “The Four Mile Run Fishing and Hunting Club'’ and have ob- tained possession of Four Mile run, a triba- tary of Pine creek, below Ansonia, Tioga county. Several dams will be built in the stream, which will be properly screened, and 25,000 trout planted there this year— 5,000 large ones and 20,000 fry from the Penn Forest Brook Trout company, of Mauch Chunk, Pa. The club has also leased ‘‘Wetumpka’’ the Niles cottage, which will be transformed into a club house. — Mrs. H. B. Kleckner, of Loganton, was stricken with apoplexy Friday even- ing, and bas been lying in an unconscious condition since. The physician has little hope for her recovery.
