Penorraii adn Bellefonte, Pa., Augustl, 1902 Ey FARM NOTES. —Profits on many farms are reduced by the interest on land bought at high prices. In numerous cases mortgages are being car- ried, securing notes drawn a long time ago at high rates. With the general tendency in recent years toward lower interest rates, this farm indebtedness could, in many 1n- stances, be refunded, meaning great saving in annual charges.—American Agriculturist. —A1l kinds of poultry delight in working over newiy—plowed ground for insects. The number of insects destroyed in a day by a large flock of fowls cannot easily be esti- mated. Observation will show that each bird will fill ite crop several times during the day, and will keep busily at work an- til night. The turkey and guinea will al- so forage over a wide territory when on a. grass plot, and will destroy thousands of noxious insects. —Warts are supposed to be due to some derangement of the epidermis of the skin, and cannot well be treated internally un- less general all over the body. Warts hav- ing a narrow neck may be snipped off with the scissors and the bieeding bases touched with lunar caustic. On the teats they should be interfered with as little as possible so far as strong applications or operations are con- cerned. It is usually sufficient to rub teats * with castor oil after each milking. —Phosphate of lime, unless acidulated, is not soluble, but when treated with sul- phuric acid the phosphate of lime (such as bones, phosphate rock, etc.,) becomes brok- en up in composition, the sulphuric acid, combining with the lime, forming sulphate of lime, leaving the phosphoric acid free and uncombined. It is this phosphoric acid of the phosphate of lime that is the real valuable substance desired. When the acid- ulated phosphate is applied to the soil the free phosphoric acid will readily unite with any lime existing in the soil, and again forms phosphate of lime, but in a condition which permits of the action of the roots of plante, which secretes acid. When phos- phate is acidulated it is then known among farmers as ‘‘superphosphate’’ and is an ex- cellent addition to fertilizers. Phosphate of lime, unacidulated, may not give bene- ficial results for many seasons, as it gives up its constituents very slowly, though the finer the phosphate is ground the more readily it is acted upon by the vegetable acids of the soil. At present prices all kinds of phosphate may be used with almost a certainty that they will return a profit in the crop. —1It will soon be time again for using poisons to kill all kinds of injurious insects The first application I have to make usual- ly is ou my fruit trees, to prevent the rav- ages of bud worm,cigar-case hearer, etc.,and to be effective the applications must be made very early,or as soon as the buds be- gin to open or repeated soon after. Paris green has for many years been my main re- liance as an insect poison. If pure and properly used it is reliable enough and harmless to the foliage. I have always preferred to apply it in liquid form, and if used in this way the addition of lime sure- ly prevents injury to the foliage liable to occur through the action of the free acid in the Paris green. For two or three years, however, I have used green arsenoid in place of Paris green, and always had very satisfactory results from it. This newer poison is lighter than Paris green,and stays in suspension in water, requiring far less ‘“‘gonstant stirring,”’ and besides is much ' cheaper. So long as I can get such results from arsenoid I shall use it in preference to Paris green. But where the latter {being more available in most out-of-the-wayplaces has to be used there is need of caution in order to get the pure article. Some of the samples of Paris green on the market are re- ported to be badly adulterated, and if this is the case best results cannot he expected from their application, and much loss of labor may be caused thereby. Besure you get a genuine article. You may make your purchase now and test it. In New York State the Geneva experiment station, I be- lieve, offers to test any sample sent to it. free of charge. But each buyer and each user of Paris green may just as well help himself. Pure Paris green dissolves per- fectly in strong ammonia, giving a beauti- ful clear blue liquid. Put a little Paris green in a vial or small bottle, pour a little strong ammonia over it, cork it up and shake up well. If the clear blue liquid is obtained without mud-colored sediment you may be sure that the Paris green is all right.— Farm and Fireside. —One finds scores of country gardens, where an attempt has been made in pre- vious years to cultivate the raspberry, the blackberry, or, perhaps, both, and where discouragement and failure has resulted. A Country Gentleman correspondent thinks it possible so to order a few rows of berry bushes in the family garden that they will produce fruit year after year with little at- tention, given at the right time, and he of- fers the following hints to that effect. The old canes or the poorest of them must be cut out each spring. The new wood must be thinned to a proper degree and the tops of all canes cut hack. This is but a few moments’ work each spring. Now,to save all labor possible, let the rows of bushes be arranged in small clamps four feet apart in the row and be protected by each trellis. Inch and a half stuff are used for length- wise and upright supports, while the clump of bushes are held in compact shape by two pieces of lath at each clump. At a distance of four feet the tops will nearly meet each other, while the stalks at the ground can be worked about with ease. I would cover the entire ground between the clumps and between the rows, if there are two or more of these, with coarse mead- ow hay put on thickly. This keeps down the weeds and many berry sprouts, and keeps the ground always porous, moist, and cool, conditions that are especially attrac- tive to raspherry and blackberry plants. Ouce a year this mulch will have to be re- newed. ae it gradually decays and becomes worked into the soil, adding humus and making the earth lighter, more retentive in moisture and richer in the material that the Derry plant requires as food. Practically, then the only care the bush- es need is an annual pruning and maulch- ing. A little attention now and then to the few straggling weeds and shoots that force a way up through the thick mulch will, of course, be required, but first and last there will be less work in this way for caring for the bushes than by any other that is ordi- parily practiced. The gradual dying out of once thrifty bushes that one sees in so many farm gardens is due almost wholly to lack of proper thinning out and pruning and to the checking of the bushes by grass and weeds. American brewers have already invested $4,000,000 in and about Havana. # FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. HOME REMEDY RHYME. If poisoned, take mustard, or salt, table- spoon, In a cup of warm water and swallow right soon. For burns, try borax, and a wet bandage too ; If blistered, then oil and day flannel will do. For children’s convulsions, warm baths are the rule; With castor oil dose, too, but keep the bead cool. Give syrup of ipecac, when croup is in store ; For fainting, stretch patient right out on the floor. To soak in hot water is best for a sprain— Remember these rules, 'twill save you much pain. Highly polished tables and chairs have a way of developing spots of white, especial- ly where a hot dish has stood or where hot water has heen spilled. Equal parts of lin- seed oil and alcohol rubbed on such a spot will usually make it vanish. Another plan is to cover such a spot with baking soda; then hold a heated flatiron close down over the soda, not near enough, however, to in- jure the varnish.’ After a litle take the iron away and brush off the soda. In most cases the spot will be gone. Camphor is another good all around agent for restoring varnish and when robbed over blistered or whitened spots will bring back much of the original lustre. Hats, by the way, are not very much worn this year. There has been a decided tendency in this direction for several sea- sons past, and the summer girl—and the summer matron, too, for that matter—are inclined to go bareheaded wherever the op- portunity presents itself. This, by the way makes the dressing of the hair a very im- portant feature. There are only two forms of hairdressing sanctioned by the best dress- ers. In both the pompadour is present in front with the back hairin a very high knot or else in a coil decidedly low on the neck. Both these forms are absolutely correct, al- though the former seems to have the great- est favor. Quite an effort was made last summer by several prominent women to introduce the low coil. Ii has met with a fair amount of success, but is largely confined to evening. Some few women go in for the extreme style of parting their hair in the middle, thus doing away with the invariable pom- padour. The mode is too extreme, however, to meet with genuine approval. Speaking of dress materials, there's an almost unanimous choice for sheer white wash dresses, and the finer India linens vie with the organdies. Exquisite ones serve for evenings,and many appear in the morn- ing in these dainty, lace-trimmed creations, which seems to be forcing matters. If the morning be very warm, however, a sheer white shirt-waist suit is certainly pleasing. One white get-up worn by an Atlantic City belle is of heavy white linen, with equally heavy Yak laceinsertions. One in the skirc points downward at the front,and is broken by the box pleats under which it is set. It is topped by a smart box coat, with flowing sleeves, very deeply flowing, with the insertion set in just above the nar- row hem. There's a lace-trimmed collar, too. Under this coat is worn the sheerest and daintiess of white shirt-waists, and, worn in this way. the waist may be of the finest and richest. These handsome suits are in the costume class, however, and the woman who comes down to breakfast in a fresh, heavy, white linen shirt-waist suit is a treat. The one in mind was simply trimmed with strap- pings,stitched one on each edge,and,though it had been laundered, 1t was as attractive and shapely as ever. The waist was strap- ped up and down, the points reaching high- er at the centre, back and front. Elaborate effects are frowned down upon in the attire of children by mothers of re- tined taste, who realizes that the keynote of good dressing of their little folks should be smart simplicity. A great deal is said about gossip as if it were necessarily a very had thing. Slander and scandal are intolerably bad, but gossip may be kindly. One cau hardly live in this world and not take some interest in one’s neighbors. If one of the children across the street has scarlet fever or measles,every family living near is interested, not merely for fear of contagion, but through genuine regret that the onild is suffering and sin- cere hope that she may get well. If John Drum, who went to college last year,sweeps the board with all the prizes, we all ask abont him, because we are as prond as if he were our own boy. Gossip that is the repetition of good news, or the expression of sympathy is a perfectly proper thing and lends a wholesome spice to life.—Christian Herald. E If you would be in style embroider your monograms on the left sleeve of your shirt- waist midway between the shoulder and el bow, on the end of your white pique neck- ties, on your white belts and on the instep of your stockings. A neat little garment that is a combina- tion of bolero and cape is coming into vogue. The back and front are cut the straight way of the silk and fall to the waist without seams. The sleevesare wide, in pagoda form, and the throat cut low and round and simply banded with galon. The black tie is being very much worn with these stiffly-starched white linen col- lars. ? With the straight standing starched white linen turn-over the long. four-in-hand is frequently worn, and in black moire is de- cidedly the mode. The simple little bow tie is also seen. With the turn-over of stiffly-starched lin- en, either with pointed front,divided in the centre or the continuous allaround turn-over ties of hlack China taffeta or surah silk car ried twice around the neck and then the ends simply knotted in front are approv- With the white linen low Eton the Win- sor tie, about one yard long in black China silk with hemstitched ends, or in plainly hemmed surah is decidedly the chic thing. It is tied in a fluffy bow in front. A few drops of camphor added to the wa- ter in which the face is bathed in warm weather will do much to remove the shiny appearance of the skin. ——Thirty thousand Filipinos have been vaccinated by Americans. Milk in Powdered Form. For more than fifty years efforts have been made by the scientists of nearly all the civilized countries to separate the wa- ter and the fat from milk and secure the non-fatty solids in such condition that by the simple addition of water the milk can be restored, with all its original properties unimpaired, and unchangeable by time or the extreme variations of climate. These efforts proved unsuccessful for many years. A portion of the water could be readily removed, but when concentrated to about one sixth of its original bulk the pasty condition of the mass rendered it un- manageable and complete desiccation be- came impossible without subjecting it to such a high temperature that the character of the product was completely changed, rendering it insoluble, incapable of coagu- lation by rennet and reducing the digesti- bility by pepsin tests 50 per cent. The nearest approach to desiccation was con- densed milk. A dry product seemed im- possible without the sacrifice of all the valuable constituents of milk except the casein, and this was preserved only in an altered form after treatment with acids and alkalies which thoroughly changed its char acter and impaired its nutritive qualities. Dr. Joseph H. Campbell, a citizen of the State of Pennsylvania, who had spent a great deal of time in the study of the petroleum products, turned his attention te organic chemistry some time ago, devot- ing himself especially to the products of the dairy. The developments of the dairy interests of this country had reached enormous pro- portions. The butter industry was largely being concentrated at the creameries, and in many cases skim milk was a waste pro- duct, often thrown away. If the skim milk could be utilized so as to recover the non-fatty solids in dry, soluble, sterilized and thoroughly peptogenic condition, the product at half the price of butter per pound would be more valuable than the butter interests itself, as the milk would yield but four pounds of butter to the hun- dred pounds of milk, while the non-fatty solids would furnish nine and a half pounds of the dry powder, and the annual value would ran into hundreds of millions of dol- lars, creating a new industry exceeding in- value the wheat crop of the United States. But even more than this it was realized that the recovery of the non-fatty solids of milk in a dry condition would furnish milk to the tropical regions where it was hereto- fore unobtainable ; would permit an addi- tion to the rations of the soldier and the sailor in the most convenient form, with the least possible waste ; would be an in- valuable addition to the hospital dietetics ; would supply an important factor in the treatment of diabetes, Bright's disease and other similar maladies ; would furnish properly balanced rations to all classes at the cheapest rate, and would be a general hoon to humanity in maintaining vigorous normal health, allaying suffering, promot- ing longevity and reducing infant mor- tality. The process of development was slow ; difficulties were presented at every turn, some of which for a time seemed insur- mountable. But after nearly three years of labor and the expenditure of nearly $100,000 success crowned the efforts and powdered milk or Nutrinm, as it is known, became a reality, and its manufacture is now a flurishing industry. At Jersey City, N.Y., are three mills where is ground, bottled and packed this product. In the mills are three copper tin lined concentrating vessels. The milk is pumped into a large round copper vessel, where itis agitated and heated by sterilized air blasts prepara- tory to its being pumped into four rec- tangular concentrating vessels. These con- centrationg tanks are provided with a cir- culating medium of hot water surrounding them and coils in their interior. They are also provided with pipes and fan shaped nozzles for the introduction of sterilized air below the surface of the milk. This air is under a pressure and is allowed to escape when the tanks are charged with milk and causes the water vapor to bedriv- en off. The milk here has a violent roll- ing motion, greater than if boiling. The milk is thus reduced to about one sixth of its volume. As the product becomes con- centrated the temperature is lowered. The opening of a valve permits the mass to fall into the large roller drums with tapered ends, and which are located on alower floor. These roller drums are tin plated and are perfectly smooth on the inside with cone shaped ends. An air blast is then introduced into the head of the drum. The latter revolving about two turns per minute, carries the pasty product up on its side, and as it approaches the top it falls back through the dried atmosphere, the air thus carrying away the moisture. The paste soon becomes too heavy to be carried up by the revolving of the drum and rolls into a large mass, the cone shaped ends causing it to move unequally and twisting and grinding it into small particles. These are then conveyed to the drier drums, where the desiccation is completed. These drier drums have a novel construc- tion. Sterilized air is forced through a central shaft having lateral arms extending down into the mass, where the constant rolling of the drams exposes all parts to the desiccated air. When the product is bone dry it is then conveyed to a grinder, which brings it to about the consistency of corn meal, and it is then packed. The proper office of powdered milk is not so much to act as a food of and by itself, bat as a means of cheaply furnishing other foods with the proteids in which they are deficient, and thus restoring the balance which is essential to health. The successful reduction of milk to the form of a powder is an achievement of much importance to the bakers, particular- ly those engaged in the business in a large way. They are enabled to secure their milk supply without any possibility of in- terruption and at a much lower cost. This | latter is due to the fact that the dried milk can be shipped so much more economically than the milk in its original form. A five pound hox can be shipped at a small frac- tion of that of its equivalent of whole milk and can be mixed as desired. The losses in the handling of fresh milk around the bakery are very great. Much is consumed by the men handling it, a great deal is wasted and considerable is spoiled by be- ing improperly cared for. The product in appearance resembles fine wheat flour, and | is packed suitably for the safe transporta- tion to all climates.—Scientific American.

One of the worst enemies of the farmer is the Canada thistle, says the Chicago Chron- icle. It works more injury every year to farms in this country, than many other causes to which greater attention is given. It spreads slowly apparently, but soon takes full possession of the land and unless erad- icated the entire farm becomes worthless. The heavier seeds, which are carried by winds, will germinate,but its progress is by means of long white root stocks, which are proof against disease and seasons. It is claimed that a piece of root stock left in the soil will grow from six to ten feet in a sea- son and from each small piece as many as fifty new heads will grow. The best sea- son for beginning the war on thistles is in June. Plow the land and then plow again every few weeks until well in the fall, the object being to destroy the young growth as fast as it appears, as any plant must suc- cumb if deprived of forming leaves, as plants breathe through the agency of the leaves. Another plan is to let them grow until the plants are just high enough to mow and then run the mower over the field, repeat- ing the work as fast as the weeds appear. As the farmer may prefer to utilize the land he can plow the land and plant in po- tatoes. If he will then give the potato crop frequent cultivation he will destroy many of the thistles and the potatoes will pay for the labor. It may not be possible to sub- due the thistles the first year, but if the work is well done the thistles may be com- pletely destroyed the second year,when the ground should be plowed in the spring,and a crop of early cabbage grown, removing the cabbage crop and broadcasting the land, after plowing and harrowing with Hungar- ian grass seed. As the Hungarian grass grows rapidly and may be mowed once a month it gives the thistles but little chance while the present cultivation of the cab- bage crop will have greatly reduced the thistles in number. The point is to keep the thistles cut down from July to frost, af- ter which they will be under control. The roadsides must also be carefully at- tended to, for it is on the uncultivated road- side that weeds are neglected and hence are protected. Neighbors should also work har- moniously in the destruction of weeds, as frequently some negligent farmer injures the entire communtity by producing the seeds of weeds which are carried by the wind over a large area. Weeds may also be carried long distances on the tops of rail road cars or by water; in fact, there are so’ many modes of distribution that it is almost impossible for any farmer to escape the nui- sance of weeds, but all farmers can prevent their spread, and in protecting his neigh- bor he also protects himself. The Canada thistle is not so great a nuisance as many suppose, if farmers will determine to combat its spread. Read—Read Carefully.
