rem ——— Bemorrac alc Bellefonte, Pa., June 13, 1902 ST Ss w—— FARM NOTES. — After the strawberry crop is picked uss the lawn mower over the bed, so as to cut «down all the weeds. It will also be an ad- vantage to cultivate well between the rows. —Keep the cellar windows open and al- low the air to freely circulate. Use white- wash liberally. A cellar in which vegeta- bles have been kept during the winter needs a general cleaning. —Wild carrots shonld be destroyed late in summer, before the seeds mature, so as to save labor. Being a biennial, the wild «carrot gets a firm hold, and it is very per- sistent, propagating itself rapidly and tak- ing possession of the land. An excellent plan is to dig the plants up and burn them. —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 white flour. Once .a week dust each cabbage plant with the prepared flour while the plants are moist with dew. A pound of flour will answer for dusting about 200 plants. —There is always something new in weeds. Just when the farmer has conquer- ed the advance crop he encounters at this season of the year one of the most persist- «ent of all pests—crab grass. It grows very rapidly and on all kinds of soil. It is very «easily destroyed when young, but if it gets a start and covers the ground it sometimes happens that the field must be abandoned until next year. —If bones are saved for fertilizer they will be of but little value for plants unless acidulated. If pounded and mixed with wood ashes they will in time become soft, and can be worked over and added to ma- nure when applying the manure to land. Ordinary chimney soot is a fertilizer also, and is excellent for preventing the attacks of some insects. It can be used with ad- vantage around flowering plants. —A novel method of securing rose cut- tings, which is largely practiced in Europe, is to take a ten-inch cutting, bend it in the form of a bow, both ends being inserted in- to the earth, leaving the centre, with a bud above the ground. This arrangement pre- vents evaporation while the ends are form- ing roots. When the bud has rooted the portion on one side of the centre bud is cut away, leaving a straight plaut. —The losses of young chicks occur dur- ing the summer from so many causes as to sometimes cause astonishment. They seem to disappear without enemies. The fact is that dogs, hawks, rats and other depreda- tors carry them off. The most destructive enemy is the family cat, and the one that eats from the same dish with the chicks, allowing them to sit on her back, will take her share of young poultry when not ob- served; in fact, it is the kind and gentle cats that do the greatest damage. —Diseases of plants are difficult to pre- vent unless rotation of crops is practiced. To allow the same kind of crop two or more years in succession on a plot of land pro- motes the increase of insects and spreads diseases of certain plants in the soil. For instance, when a crop of potatoes is attack- ed by disease the land should be given up to some other crop the next year, as the planting of potatoes oun land upon which a diseased crop was grown the previous year is the surest mode of propagating the evil. * After moving the clover hay crop, ap- ply about two bushels per acre of Jand plas- ter, broadcasted. Plaster, which is really sulphate of lime, exerts a chemical effect on the soil, liberating potash, which the clov- er plant requires. It also absorbs gases and moisture, and is not as injurious to a crop during dry periods as some fertilizers. It contains lime, as sulphate, in which form it is slightly soluble in water, and it also supplies the plants with a proportion of needed lime. Plaster, if broadcasted on a field at the time of planting corn, will greatly assist in giving the young plants a green tinge and an early start. —The supposition that eggs pay better in winter than in summer is a mistaken one although much depends upon conditions. At this season of the year, when the fowls have a range, they can secure more than a sufficiency of food, and they also lay more eggs than in winter. There is often no cost at all for eggs produced in the summer, as the fowls consume materials that are of no marketable value to the farmer, the eggs being all profit. In the winter season prices are higher,but the hens then lay few- er eggs, require warm quarters, must be fed regularly, and the cost for labor and food is considerable where large flocks are kept, especially as a large number of the hens do not lay their proportion of eggs in winter. —Plum trees are attacked by the curculio when the fruiting season begins, and the peach is injured by the borer in several ways, the consequence being that close at- tention is required. Where there are small yards in which poultry can be confined both the plum and peach are less liable to attack, as the fowls are thus kept near the trees and are constantly at work around them. The moths or millers which lay the eggs on the various fruit trees instinctively avoid danger, and will not so readily use trees in small poultry yards as when the birds have more liberty. The jarring of the plum trees causes the curculio to fall, and the fowls are ready todestroy anything that comes within their reach. While the plan may not give absolute protection, yet it will save the tree and much fruit. —The disease of peach leaves known as leaf curl, is very little in evidence the pres- ent season. It occurs about: the time the leaves come out, or shortly after, and is marked by a peculiar thickening and curl- ing: of some of the leaves, sometimes ahout all the leaves on a branch, and sometimes on most of the branches. It is not well un- derstood, but it is undoubtedly injurious to the tree. Spraying with Bordeaux mix- ture, or with anything else, will do no good after the leaves have become affected. Re- moving them, either by picking off, or by pruning away the branch which has the dis- eased lewves, is about all that can be done then. But something may be done by spraying before the leaves come out, and experiments in that direction look favora- ble thus far, but are not yet conclusive. One of the varieties most affected this season is Capt. Ede, the new yellow variety from Southern Illinois. Carman also is af- fected very slightly, and the same is true of Superb, Mountain Rareripe and one or two others. But the most valuable varie- ties, Elberta, Oldmixon, Bequet Free, Tri- umph, Belle of Georgia, Picquet’s Late. ‘Salway, Fitzgerald, Woodward, Stump, and a number of others are scarcely touch- ed—most of them not at all. .a most satisfactory effect. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. “A great many people stand in deadly fear of cucumbers,”’ said a well known physician, who enjoys a large family prac- tice. *‘I have heard people say that they would just as soon eat poison. Now the cucumber is perfectly hatmless, if properly prepared, and, to my mind, there is noth- ing so tasty and refreshing. To guard against any after effects the cucumber should be cut very thin and remain in wa- ter for three or four hours, with a little salt sprinkled over them. Half an hour before threy are eaten they should be placed in ice water, and this will entirely restore their freshness and crispness: If this rule is fol- lowed the cncumbers should be perfectly digestible.”’ Theswagger but expensive fad of the sea- gon is to bave no extra trimming on shirt- waists or bodices of linen or lawn, but to have the elaboration of drawn work or em- broidery in the stuff itself. Soap should never be rubbed on shawls or other knitted garments, but a good lath- er should be made of soap and warm (not hot) water and the articles pressed and squeezed in this until they are clean. They should be well rinsed in several waters of the same temperature as the suds. When the water has been pressed out (not wrung) as far as possible, let the shawl lie in a heap on a clean cloth to dry. Turn it about oc- casionally to expedite matters, but do not stretch it by hanging it up. If these in- structions are carefully carried out, the shawl ought to be as soft and fluffy as when new. A stylish way to arrange the hair and one very much in vogue at present. For this youthful arrangement the hair from the top of the head is tied with a ribbon bow. This may be plaited or not, and is carried down to the nape of the neck, where it, along with the rest of the hair is plaited; then turned up and tied as securely as ribbon may be knotted. This brings one bow at the nape of the neck. the other four or five inches above. This isa very good style which many will now adopt for outing wear. For tailor made gowns a short basque or a long one is considered equally good style in Paris, but thestrict severity of the regu- lation tailor cut suit is not adopted by the Frenchwoman. A bloused bodice with a little basque under a waist belt, opening some three inches over a vest in front, or a coat that does not much more than turn the waist line, are the favorite models of the present moment. A pretty heading fora flounce is a row of lace medallions in heart shape, the flounce showing several rows of shirring in the spaces formed between the medallions which touch only at their upper edges. The younger girls, those who look with admiration and longing at the trains and the general dignity of the graduating class should choose organdy, mull, batiste and the like exclusively and have them made most girlishly. A charming model is of finest Persian lawn, and includes a skirt tucked to form a hip yokeand finished with a graduated tucked flounce that is headed by two entre-deux of German Valenciennes lace insertion and tucking, a full portion tucked in groups and a most becoming bertha. Berthas make a feature of the dresses for the younger girls, and are be- coming to all, Unformed girlish figures re- quire breadth and fullness, and those pret- ty additions to the blouse are found to give A generally fas- cinating frock of fine sheer batiste is abso- lutely without applied trimming, and finds its charm in hemstitching and fine tucks. In packing your trunk always fold dress skirts right side out for packing. They crease far less than if turned inside out,and sleeves, bows, etc., should be stuffed with tissue paper to prevent crushing. A stove that has been allowed to get rusty will often not take the blacking well when it is again cleaned. First rub it well all over with an old rag or piece of news- paper which has been dipped in a little paraffin. Add a few drops of turpentine to your ordinary mixed blacklead and black and shine as usual. To decrease the size of the waist by tight lacing is simply to ruin the figure irretriev- ably. Girls happily are now beginning to realize this truth and instead of squeezing their waists into the smallest possible com- pass have taken to the more sensible and healthful method of gymnastic exercises to reduce its actual size. The following simple movements, if per- sisted in regularly and consistently, will help to produce the desired results : 3 First, stand perfectly upright, with hips back, chest high, chin pressed well back, and aims at the sides, with palms of the bands to the front. Raise the arms up over the top of the head till the thumbs touch, and then drop them slowly 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 shouldeis. Third, stand with the arms stretched as far apart as possible level with the shoul- ders, and making a perfect cross with the body, and describe small circles with each arm, using the shoulder as centre. Repeat this exercise half a dozen times consecutively. 2 The simpler the hat the more it looks as if it came from a master hand. Moth protection is much more than half accomplished when a garment is brushed free from dust, stains, spots, and any soil removed, and every fold and seam scanned closely for a deposit of moth eggs. If it can be made sure that none of the latter are in the garment, it is easy and cheap to keep them out. Immediately on finishing the cleansing and inspecting treatment, slip the garment into a bag made of calico or mus- lin, that. will hold it easily, and that has not the smallest break or tear. Close the opening b y running the ends together in the sewing machine, and lay away ona shelf or in a trunk, as preferred. A house- keeper who has kept blankets, furs and clothing year in and year out in this way, gives this as her advice, after her long and successful experience : “Sometimes, I dip a cloth in turpentine and drop it in the bag with my blankets, and Ialways go over the closet shelves, or the trunk or the bureau drawer in which I pack away this bagged clothing, ete., with a brush dipped in tur- pentine. Moths won’t eat cotton or linen, and if you are very careful to keep them out of the garment till it is into the bag they are out for the summer. Don’t use cheesecloth for the bags; it is too sleazy. Use any clean, firm cotton or linen mate- rial. Old pillow cases that are not broken or worn through anywhere are useful for the purpose. Many things accumulate in the house that may be used—light silesia dress linings, faded chambray, percale, or linen dress skirts, and the like. I have such articles ripped and washed and made into straight bags of various sizes. These accumulate in my linen closet ready for the spring packing away.’’ Two Tales from Nittany Valley. John DeVine, owner and proprietor of a printing house; Will Mitchell, an oil in- spector and general manager; Charles Hofi- man, accountant,all of Ridley Park, Phila- delphia, also W. W. Miller, proprietor of the New York Racket store of Lock Hav- ven, spent a few days recently at the resi- dence of J. H. Holmes. The latter is a son-in-law of Mr. Holmes aud invited the other two chums to accompany him ona fishing excursion. Friday afternoon was spent along the banks of Fishing Creek. Not being a good day for fishing the time was devoted to sight-seeing, of rock for- mations, the Culvey murder scene, and the mineral resources where parties mined on Washington Iron Co’s. lands a few years ago. Bill Mitchell never saw the rock formations of our grand old mountains and was deeply interested in the perpendic- ular wall of rock near Lamar, in the gap of the mountains. His geological interest developed so much that his chums con- ceived the idea that his famous hat should be filled with samples of rock to show the loved ones at his home what wonderful curiosities abound in the Centre of the Keystone State. Accordingly his hat was nicely arranged in the bottom of his coat case by his chum DeVine, hearing this name uttered would indicate racredness, as divine; however he does not fully represent his name, though he must have spent some time in reading the passages of scripture, where requests were made of the disciples to *‘take a little wine for the stomach’s sake, or perhaps as a remedy for the poisonous bite of the snake. Fearing the wine might have been tampered with it was turned over to the care of Miss Marie, who will store ib away for medical purposes. Saturday afternoon was spent in target practice, and the farmer that plows Gar- brick’s oats field this fall will doubtless think he has struck a lead mine as many bullets never hit the target but caused the dust to rise in the field. These people had fun in abundance and on the late train, via., Bellefonte returned to their homes hoping some time in the fu- ture to be favored with another as happy a time. A festival was held at Lamar ‘some time ago and the usual topers conceived the idea of getting several cases of beer and placing them in the large spring at Lamar, to have it nice and cool. While a six foot guards- man wag standing guard, Carrie Nation, No. 2, weight about 225 Ibe. appeared and began smashing bottles in great style. Seeing persons wading in spring water afterwards during the darkness one inferred they were fishing, not for trout but for heer bottles. One party said they found sixty bottles which was certainly a good catch, in cold spring water, dressed in hest bib and tucker. Use for Volcanic Ashes. Sugar Planters on Windward Island Use Stuff for Fertilizing. Ashes from the volcano eruption at Mar- tinique prove to be a God-send to planters on the other Windward Isiands, who have discovered the substance to bean excel- lent phosphate. Captain Pierce, of the schooner Jeanie Lippert, which arrived at Philadelphia recently from Paysanda, stop- ped at Barbadoes on his way north and found the sugar planters there employing all the idle men and women sweeping up the ash- es and sowing it on the sugar plantations. The stuff was carried by the wind from St. Pierre and St. Vincent to Barbadoes, al- though many miles distant. Captain Pierce stated that on May 17th his vessel was in a shower of volcanic dust, which blinded the officers and crew. For hours it came down thick and fast until his vessel was white as snow from the truck to the deck. . A similar experience was encountered on May 8th hy the Norwegian steamship Therese, which arrived recently from Trinidad. On May 8th, 75 miles off Martinique, the Therese ran into adense smoke, thick as a fog and accompan- ied by intense heat. Soon afterward clouds of hot ashes fell over the vessel, accompan- ied by pebbles, which made the decks rat- tle as if in a hail-storm. The heat was so in- tense that the paint on the ship’s side was blistered. The officers on the lookout were blinded by the ashes, which became thicker at mid-night. Toward morning the vessel passed into a clear atmosphere. Quadruplets Brought Riches. Mother, Who Was Penniless, Earned $20,000 by Exhibiting Them. Little did Joseph Ormsby, of Chicago, dream when he ran away because his wife presented him with 14 children in seven years that the set of ‘‘quads’’ born after his base desertion would bring fortune to the prolific Mrs. Ormsby. September 20th the ‘‘quads’’ were born Mrs. Ormsby was deserted and penniless, and the kind public came to her rescue. Now the ‘‘quads’’ have two maids to look after them. Recently they moved into an $8000 cottage and have brought $20,000 to the mother. They are the biggest museum attraction since the Simese twins. Mra. Ormsby draws $300 a week and $100 from the sale of photograpus. Burned to Death on Wedding Eve, Bride-Elect Crossed Ocean; Will Go to Grave In- stead of Altar. Miss Katie Mickland arrived in McKees- port, last week from England to join her lover and with the intention of becoming his bride. : Friday morning she attempted to fill a lighted lamp with kerosene, when an ex- plosion occurred. Her clothing caught fire, With her dress a mass of flames, she ran from the house and fell exbausted in the street, where she burned to death. Read—Read Carefully.

VIRULENT CANCER CURED.—Startling proof of a wonderful advance in: medicine is given by druggist G. W. Roberts of Elizabeth, W. Va. An old man there had long suffered with what good doctors pro- nounced incurable cancer.

When Electric Bitters are used to expal biliousness, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts its matchless healing power, blood diseases, skin erup- tions, ulcers and sores vanish.
