R cad—Read Carefully. McCalmont & Co. ——— FARM NOTES. —The Essex hog differs from the Berk- shire and Poland China in being entirely black. When dressed,however, the skin is very white. It is largely used for im- proving some other breeds. | —Young colts are easily injured, and seem to use but little precaution for their safety. To avoid injury they should be turned out on pastures that do not contain ditches or barbed-wire fences. They should be given an allowance of ground oats ab least twice a day, and should also be treat. ed as pets. —The ewes which have had the care of young lambs should be gotten in good con- dition - before September. Some of them will be very thin, despite good pasturage, and will make but little gain in flesh until the lambs are removed. A gill or two of ground oats to each ewe when they come off the pasture at night will show wonder- ful results in the way of improvement in a short time. — There is a loss in poultry products in the neglect to provide nests and accommo- dations for the fowls. The hens should not be compelled to lay in horse troughs or where difficulty in finding the eggs may oc- cur. as time devoted in that direction is wasted. Ducks should be confined at night and kept until past sunrise, as they usually lay early in the morning. They are not now producing many eggs, having laid their quota earlier, but they shomld be given shelter at night in order to protect them from enemies. —The hens prefer clean nests, and when they refuse to lay in the poultry house and begin to deposit their eggs in the bay loft, in the food troughs or away in the fields, the chances are that lice have taken posses- sion of the nests. A single broken egg in the nest will soon cause millions of lice,and once they secure ajfoothold they stick close- ly until they are driven off by heroic treat- ments. The nests should be kept clean,and tobacco dust or earth saturated with carbol ic acid should be convenient for scattering in the nests when cleaning them. --The opinion of Mr. Summer Perkins, given in the ‘‘Poultry Monthly’? is: Noth- ing will answer as well as complete period- ical change in the poultry runs. To be sure we can remove some of the dirt and replace with fresh earth, but this is only partial. What we want is to seed down old runs to grass, or some other crop, which will find congenial soil for its rapid growth in the earth rich from poultry droppings, taking away the hens entirely and not returning them until the vegetative processes of the crop have completely renovated the ground To make this change of runs readily facili- tated we want light, movable coops and fences, so there will be little trouble in making the transfers. It is no use in deny- ing it, large numbers of chickens and fowls are lost every year simply and only because breeders persist in penning them year upon year in the same spots, thus rendering the ravages of disease unavoidableand irreme- diable. Variety is the spice of life,and this applies to poultry runs in a very literal sense indeed. _ —When a plant that has been making satisfactory growth suddenly drops its leaves,you may be quitesure that its health has been injured in some way. Possibly the cause may be the red spider, but if, af- ter examination, you find none of these in- sects at work, you will be obliged to look in other directions for the source of the ¢rouble. Before beginning any kind of treat ment, try to find out what has caused the difficulty. When you have ascertained that, you can go to work intelligently. If the pot is too large, pub the plant in a smaller one. If too much water is retain- ed in the soil, the drainage must be defec tive. If too strong a fertilizer has been giv- en, repot the plant, giving it a soil of mod- erate richness. If the heat of the room is too intense, temperate it in some way and give plenty of fresh air. In treating a sick plant let the soil get quite dry, then repot the plant. Give a small pot and remove all the diseased roots After potting the plant, water moderately, and wait until it shows signs of growing be fore giving more, unless the soil is likely to get too dry. 1f the trouble comes from worms in the soil, take a piece of fresh lime as large as a teacup, and dissolve in a 10-quart pailful of water. When dissolved, pour off the clear water and apply to your plants, giving enough to thoroughly saturate the soil. “This will almost always drive out or kill the worms and seldom injure the plants. If one application is not sufficient, repeat it. Most plants are usually benefited hy the ase of lime water occasionally, as. there is an element of plant growth in the lime. I depend on this in fighting the worms, and it generally gives complete satisfaction if used as directed. — Vicks Family Magazine. — There is no insect that does more dam- age to apples, pears and quinces than the Codling Moth(Carpocapasa pomonella(,and none that is more surely controlled by a little effort in applying the means that have been recommended by the entomologist. ‘The adult is a small chocolate colored moth which lays ite eggs in the early spring on young fruit when it is in blossom or ahout the time the petals fall. In afew days the eggs hatches and the larva, a short white caterpillar, spends a day or two on the out- side. It then bores into the young fruit and feeds around the core, and causing Wises is commonly called the ‘‘wormy’’ ap- ple. When it is about full grown, which is about the middle of the summer, it leaves the apple, spins its cocoon in some protect- ed places, such as onder the scale of the bark of trees. In a short time the adult moth emerges. The female lays her eggs on the fruit generally at the side. when two apples hang in contact. It is these larvae that are the ““‘worm’’ of the fall fruit. They -gpend the winter in cocoons on the sides of - trees and in rubbish, after having fallen with the fruit. They do not become pa- pae until the next spring, and then the adult moths emerge 1u a few days. Thus ig completed the annual cycle, with two broods per year. This insect may be combatted by spray- ing with arsenities. The trees should be sprayed when the young apples are still standing upright or when the petals have fallen from the blossom. A single spray- ing may be sufficient, but is better to make a second application about a week after the first. Either of the following mixtures will be found effective: (1) One pound of Paris green or London purple to 150 gal- lons of water. (2) Fifteen ounces of lead arsenate to one hundred gallons of water. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. If you ever endured the agony of a felon you will appreciate the fact that it can be cured by woolen smoke. Place the woolen rags under an inverted flower pot, and put coals upon them, or set them on fire .some other way, then hold the felon over the smoke and it will extract all the pain. It is well to remember that hot water will set grease stains in clothing. If grease is spilled upon aprons or the white goods of the summer sewing become spotted with sewing machine oil in the making, wash out the spots with cold water before put- ting in hot suds. Bloods stains are also quickly removed soaking and washing in cold water before using hot water or soap. Summer heat and dampness will quickly cause mildew at this season. and it is difficult to remove it from clothing. The best plan ig to use a weak solution of chloride of lime, about a teaspoonful of lime to a quart of water. To remove white stains and spots from furniture rub them with spirits of camphor. then with flannel wet with linseed oil, and finally with dry flannel. Hand-embroidered linen shirt-waist suits are the height of the vogue. Bul- garian embroidery is one of the stunning exam ples. Monograms on the left sleeve of the shirt-waist are swagger. They should be done on the cloth and not patched on. All the different stitches-feather,herring- bone and the like-share the favor of out and-out embroidery. English wheel embroidery has proved to be a real fad. A really smart feature of summer dresses is the coat of white linen or pique which reaches a little below the hips. It may be a box, Norfolk or the half- fitting variety that has a flaring seam down the centre back. It must have a plain look, no matter if it is trimmed, and if it presents a great amount of work-therein rests its smartness. One thing certain. this is nota garment for the ordinary woman to indulge in, as it requires great style in the wear, and ahove all, smart clothes to be worn with. It’s the easiest thing in the world to be dowdy insuch agarment. In fact, though it’s safest to be worn with a skirt like it- self, but it is not very unusual in that fash- ion. Of course the coat must be immaculate, which usually means a single wearing be- tween washings. The ‘‘Gihson’’ cushions continue high in- favor. Each one of these shows in outline some one of Charles Dana Gibson's clever pictures in which the charming American girl figures The foundations of these tops are duck, denim or linen, and the out- side is worked with any preferred shade of Roman floss or marking cotton. Cotton ca- ble cord or hemstitched ruffles of the mate- rial finish the edges of the cushion, while the size may vary from the tiny head rest to the huge cushion for the settee corner. Being made of washable materials through- out, these tops are especially serviceable. Fronts become straighter and straighter and one can truly say that stomachs are going out of style. With the hips gone and the waist squeezed in to nothing. women wonders what will become of the rest of her anatomy’ : The fat women is benefited by the straight front, for it forces her to release the waist a little, but the thin woman is gradually disappearing into nothingness, as ghe pulls her strings tighter and tighter and gets in- to smaller and smaller compass. The leather fob is to the fore in all kinds and, colors of leathers. Very smart are the extremely narrow fobs of white calf with gilt mountivgs, a stirrup forming the pen- dent. Black and white remains ever popular. followed closely, however, by theseason’s favorite combination of blue and green. These shades have obtained such a foothold that they are veritably almost a livery amongst fashionably dressed women. cerise used judiciously gives a bright touch of color to a gown, especially for brunettes. Harmony iu coloring is the great end to be attained and is truly the secret of good dressing. A conglomeration of colors in a gown always offends the eye and are never distinctive, while a dress of one color with a touch of some shade harmonizing with it, carried out on hat, collar, belt or trim- ming of some kind, is always effective and in good taste. There's a veritable fad for cherries and cherry color. Not the glaring cerise, which never was cherry color despite its name, but the real ripe redness which is now glistening amid the green foliage in many a garden. A bunch of big darkly glowing cherries is extremely coquettish under the brim of a big droopy Tuscan hat. Indeed, cherry and pongee color form one of the best combinations of the summer. and a belle who is much admired is laxu- riating in a beautiful pongee silk dress em- broidered with clusters of this luscious fruit. A noveltyare linens embroidered in bunches of cherries not only in their own vivid coloring of the varying shades of red. but in all colors, purple, blue, white and even black. In the natural colors, how- ever, they are most attractive, and espe- cially on the ecru linens. They are de- cidedly effective made up in outing dresses. simple skirt and blouse, with perhaps an extra touch of red in the way of a vest or tie. Hip yokes are noticeably prominent fea- tures of the skirts of snmmer gowns. Pongee waists and dresses must be ironed quickly while wet. To secure good results the ironing must be finished before the silk dries or the article must be dipped in, water and ‘wet again thoroughly. Sprink- ling or dampening with a wet cloth will not suffice. The pew belts are not over a inch in! width. The cuffs on neglige waists are al- SO NAITOW. A well-known phvsician says that a boil should not be allowed to progress if it can be stopped at the outset, as the system is more likely to be poisoned than relieved by the gathering matter. The boil should be painted with iodine, and will not amount to anything if taken in the first stage. — Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. | the old type has two grown up sons. It May Be Illegal. Flaw Found in Twenty-Second District—W estmore- land and Butler Counties May Not Touch. PHILADELPHIA, July 8— Ifa state- ment made by Senator John G. Grady, of this city, that the counties of Westmore- land and Butler are not contiguous is cor- rect, the congressional reapportionment fnade by the last legislature may be ille- gal and the act void. There is a flaw, according to Senator Grady, that renders the reapportionment invalid. The defect is in the Twenty-second district, in which Westmoreland and Butler counties are coupled. The act of congress relating to the congres- sional apportionment says that district- shall be ‘‘composed of contginous and compact territory.” While on most of the maps in common use the south-east corner of Butler county appears to touch the northeast corner of Westmoreland,in reality they do not meet, if Senator Grady’s statement is to be believed. 1f Butler and Westmoreland are not con- tiguous, the whole reapportionment’ may be null. Whether an extra sesssion of the Legislature would have to be called to re- district that State is a question. Senator Grady is quoted as saying: “While on the maps generally circulated and in Smull’s hand hook the counties of Butler and Westmoreland are contiguous, the fact is the two counties do not come in touch at any point. There is quite a tract of land belonging to Armstrong coun- ty which lies between Butler and West- moreland, and this fact bars this new dis- trict, at least, from conforming with the provisions of the constitution. “This objection to the bill was quietly considered in committee, and we were in a quandary. So much difficulty had been experienced in getting a bill framed that could be passed that it was decided to put it through in this shape, notwithstanding the objections that the bill might be de- clared unconstitutional. ‘Representative Ward R. Bliss, of Del- aware, first raised the objection to the bill. He is familiar with the country in that sec- tion, in fact he has a club house right on the point of land which butts in from Arm- strong county, between Butler and West moreland, and is is interesting to note that Mr. Bliss today is enjoying a vacation at his club house.”’ Grady’s statement that the framers of the apportionment bill believed that Butler and Westmoreland do not touch when they incorporated then in one district is correct. Among those who held this belief was Sen- ator Quay himself. a ———————————————————— Grove City Bible Conference.

Ger- Wealth in Farming. Some Agricultural Plutocrats in Kansas Oversee Work from Automobiles. Tales of sudden wealth are quite common in the famous Kansas and Oklahoma wheat belt. Fine houses, modern in every appoint- ment,are the rule; rubber-tired buggies and automobiles are nothing to attract attention In certain communities even the farmer has grown metropolitan to the extent of build: ing an opera house on a school lot and se- curing some of the best theatrical attractions It was not until the present winter that Wichita could afford a guarantee for certain notable singers, says a writer in Ainslee’s. Among those occupying front seats werewell known wheat growers. Farmers’ daughters and farmers’ sons form a goodly part of the Kansas society element, while piano sales- men look to them for their quick deals. It is nothing uncommon for a farmer to come to town and buy two or three rubber-tired buggies, or even place an order for an auto- mobile. Mr. D. W. Blaine, a rich farmer, of Pratt county,superintends all of his har- vesting in automobiles, Many others are equally plutocratic. One of the richest farmers in the Kansae wheat belt is John T. Stewart, who came to the State five years ago. He borrowed $50 from a friend. rented a quarter section of land in Summer county, and began work. To day he is worth $2,000,000 and his in- come from wheat in 1901 was $64,000. He is known as the wheat king of Kansas. There are 23 millionaires in Kansas, 15 of whom are farmers living on farms and running them as an investment. Perhaps they have not all of their fortune invested in land, but a goodly portion of it is. Solomon Beasley, of Wellington, placed $31,000 in wheat land last year and realized 30 per cent on his in- vestment, or ten times as much as he receiv- es from money loaned in Illinois.

Gusolene on Burning Woman. Man Who Doused Her With it Thought it Was Water. Mrs. Joseph Abramson was literally roasted alive in Waterbury, Conn., on Wed- nesday by a fire which ruined her cottage. Her gasolene stove exploded, and she was struggling to save the building and some Jainghs jewelry, when her clothes caught re. William Leisard, an iceman, ran to her assistance. Picking up a tin pail which he thought contained water, he dashed the contents over her. It was gasolene, and, of course, it added greatly to the woman’s suffering. S. Mendlebaum and D. Bietman, of Brooklyn, ran from the next house and dragged the woman from the burning cot- tage. They were painfully burned them- selves. . Mrs. Abramson lived for a long time in New York.
