FARM NOTES.
—Young trees may be pruned to almost
auy desired shape.
—The care given fruit trees this season
practically determines the product next.
—~The object of a mulch is to prevent
evaporation of moisture from the soil. Lit-
ter of any kind—chips, straw, earth or
stones—will answer.
—When soils are partially abandoned be-
cause of the expense of restoring them by
the purchase of fertilizers, the fanner hasat
his command the opportunities of green
manures. The old system of farming was
to recuperate the soil by allowing it to rest
for a year or two, by not compelling it to
produce a crop.
—Sheep cannot be crowded. In winter,
after they can no longer find anything on
the fields, ‘it is better to keep the flosk in
the enclosure, allowing an open shed for
shelter, but the floor of the shed should be
kept clean. Fifty sheep in one flock is het-
ter than to have too many. Several small
flocks will thrive where success cannot be
obtained with one large flock. Merinos
and Southdown can be keptin larger flocks
than Oxfords, Cotswolds or other large
breeds.
—Occasionally the grass under some trees
will be green, while under others it is near-
ly dead, or yellow, showing sparse growth.
The difference may be due to the plowing.
If an orchard is deeply plowed its feeding
roots will be below the grass, but if barely
stirred, then the tree roots come to the sur-
face and take both food and moisture from
the grass. Such 1s the theory, but whether
true or not, the grass under trees is best
where the land has been plowed deep.
—1It is claimed that if all the manure
from one cow could be saved, without loss
of iguids or solids, provided the food given
was of the hest quality, the cost of the cow
would be reduced every year, as the land |
would produce more each season. Two
cows could not eat the food off a piece of
land that now suppiies only one, if all the
refuse from the cow could be returned to
the plot, but the manuae must be carefully
managed and be made from varied foods.
—Cottonseed oil is a wholesome food for
men and animals. Mixed with grain mash
it is a remedy for certain bowel difficulties
of stock, It is largely used by the people
of this country as an adulterant of lard,and
it is really a much better food than lard.
Prejudices against it as an “‘oil’’ has pre-
vented many from purchasing it, yet the
people pay more for itas lard than they
would have to expend if they bought it un-
der its correct name. If the prejudice
against cottonseed ‘‘oil’’ could be overcome
the price of lard would decline.
—Bees should be kept at a temperature
ranging from 42 to 45 degrees above zero,
and the hives should be dry. The light
should be excluded as much as possible,and
the hives should not be exposed to sudden
changes of temperature. An ample supply
of honey should be left for the support of
the bees during the winter. It is not nec-
essary to put the hives under shelter until
winter approaches,and if the colony in each
hive 18 not strong it will be of but little
service until it recovers in thespring. Too
much warmth in winter is not conducive to
success.
—1It is well enough to lay down the rule
that ten pounds of corn will make one 1b.
of pork, but rules may not give the results
expected unless under certain conditions.
Some breeds of hogs will produce more
pork on the same food than others, and
even with a selected breed there will be in-
dividual animals that will increase more
rapidly than others. In the winter season,
if the hogs are exposed, 20 or 30 pounds of
corn may be required to make a pound of
pork. Care and management are important
as well as breed and food.
—When carrots or turnips arestored out-
side they cannot always be reached when
desired for use, and it will therefore be ad-
vantageous to store them in bins in a dry
cellar. If packed in perfectly dry sawdust,
oats, corn or even dry earth,they will keep
well and can be taken out of the bins at
any time. It is the alternate freezing and
thawing that damages all root crops stored
away in winter, but as the packing mate-
rial keeps them all at even temperatare this
liability is avoided. The oats or corn used
for the purpose will not be injured and may.
be fed while using the roots in the hin.
—There are very few women who under-
stand how to make good, sweet butter, and
some of them do not even know when their
butter is of a poor quality, says Mrs. Cor-
delia Hutchin in Farm and Home. Then,
again, there are others who know they are
not a success at the business and are care-
less as to detail. Mrs. A. will wash and
scald her pans or crocks and air ber churn
thoroughly each time she uses it and bring
her cream tothe right temperature by us-
ing a thermometer; bus, after all, her but-
ter lacks the right flavor. She does not
understand why her batter is not as good
as Mrs. Stone's. Another housewife. Mrs.
B., takes pride in keeping her milk utensils
in perfect order and cleanliness, and yet her
butter does not bring as good a price as
that of her neighbor, Mrs. Stone.
If Mrs. A and Mrs. B would just stand
five minutes in the doorway leading to
their cellars, where they keep their milk
pans, as well as the winter vegetables, they
would soon realize the cause of their troub-
le—rotting apples, potatoes, cabbage, on-
jons, turnips, each throwing off its own pe-
culiar odor; together with perhaps several
cans of fruit, with their contents oozing
out. Is it any wonder the butter made
from the milk has all kinds of flavors ex-
cept the one it should bave ?
So many people in the country keep their
milk in the cellar, along with their supply
of fruits and vegetables. It isa very bad
practice, for it is impossible to keep milk
from becoming tainted by the foul atmos-
phere where vegetables are kept. All cel-
lars are more or less damp, causing a musty
smell that will affect milk in an unpleas-
ant manner. Milk and butter are among the
easiest things in the world to be tainted.
The only way to prevent their becoming
tainted is to keep the air where they are
kept pure hy good ventilation and cleanli-
ness. '
Keeping milk in the kitehen is not a good
thing to do, as the milk absorbs the odor
arising from cooking, and there is always
more or less smell about a kitchen no mat-
ter how cleanly it may be. The very walls
become filled with the steam arising from
the cooking of cabbage, onions, etc. In
these days, when.so much is said about bac-
teria, who knows but that disease and death
may be carried in the butter we put upon
the table ?
FOR AND ABOUT WOMKN.
Belts with stocks to match are much
liked.
Fabric belts are far and away in the lead
this autumn, although leather belts will be
seen occasionally, especially with the se-
verely plain walking skirs.
I have come to the conclusion, writes
Madame Qui Vive, that it is impossible to
say this or that or the other skirt is the
fashion favored shape. Ever so many dil-
ferent ideas are equally modish just now.
I heard some one say the other day, ‘‘Plain
skirts seem quite demode.’’ It is nonsense.
Plain skirts are no more demode than
pleated ones ; the best tailors and dress-
makers are making both, and, as well as
plain and pleated skirts, skirts flounced
either round the base or of the three decker
build. In fact, we wear the shape of skirt
that suits us and without studied reference
to our neighbor.
You cannot have too many fancy col-
lars juss now. Why, one young lady
said she had over three dozen of these
collars in her trunk and every one was
prettier than the other. ‘‘And it isn’t
an extravagance ‘abt that,’’ said this wise
young miss. *‘I have four plain silk waists
and about a dozen white ones. And one
woman actually said she thought I must
have about 50, because she never saw me
wear the same one twice. But I had worn
them several times, of course, and I took
pains to have different kinds of neck pieces
every day.” Now this is the case with
more than one young lady of your acquaint-
ance. She freshens up a waist with some
fancy neckwear, and is able to make her
associates believe she has a much larger
variety than she actually has.
For the girl who wants to play golf, ten-
nis or indulge in any kind of sports, there
is nothing so appropriate as the mannish
effects. The linen collars and stocks are
somewhat changed this year. The linen
collars are very much lower than last sum-
mer, and the turn down effects are the fa-
vorites. With these are worn dark silk
ties, exactly like those worn by the men,or
those having hemstitched ends. The nar-
row four-in-hands are quite new. Many
have the ends embroidered in some design
or with the initials of the wearer.
Among the stocks, those of fancy white
madras, cheviot and other materials of this
order are the most favored. Some of these
are embroidered on the ends with the em-
blems of golf, tennis, ping-pong or with
college flags. A few pretty striped ones are
being worn, hut white takes the lead.
Although the large lay down collars are
seen very much at the seaside and moun-
tain resorts, many women will not wear
this kind of neckwear in the city or when
they are dressed. They think for occasions
of this kind a high collar is more appro-
priate.
If you are in doubt as to the way to wear
your hat, with the low coiffure, or with the
1 high, then make yourself a bow, which you
must wear at the back of your neck. Let
it be of black satin lined with velvet, or
vice versa.
Make up the bow so that it has four loops,
a wind mill bow is very good; let the loops
point in four directions ; run a hairpin
through the back and stick the pin into
your low coiffure.
The Holland bow is excellent, and, as
the name suggests, it bears a Hollaudese
type. It is made of Delft blue satin. There
are four loops, two pointing to the right
and two to the left. Two of the loops, are
longer than the other two, and from the
front the two long loops are visible. They
are set out at each side of the head and
rather frame the face.
The face frame is one of the most con-
spicuous things of this summer’s fashions.
The hair is dressed wide at the side and the
hat trimmings arearranged to give breadth
to the head. This calls also for a coiffure
that is low, so as to form a setting for the
back of the head, the neck and the ears,
The wide hair bow accentuates this effect,
for the loops show at the side.
If you doubt the becomingness of the face
frame, stand in front of your mirror and
try both methods. Arrange your hair once
very smoothly, drag it back from your face
and put on you hat plainly, without any
attempt at the little ornamentations which
are so noticeable in the season’s fashions.
Now look at yourself and see how trying
the style is. If you have defects, they are
brought out, and your face looks bard in
outline, for there is nothing to frame your
features.
To prevent shoes and boots squeaking
pus a few drops of oil with a small oil can
round the shoe between the uppers and
soles,
Stop cracks in walls with plaster of Paris,
but mix it with vinegar and not with wa-
ter. The reason of this is that it sets too
quickly to be easily manipulated if mixed
with water, but with vinegar it forms a
putty like paste which will remain soft for
about half an hour, finally becoming very
ard.
To perfume the breath dissolve one dram
of horax in two ounces of rose water or pure
distilled water. Bottle and gradually add
one half ounce of tincture of myrrh, shak-
ing well between the additions. If the
mouth is rinsed with this occasionally a
delicious faint scent is given to the breath.
The fashion of fastening a very large bow
of ribbon on the left side of the corsage now |
seems to be universal. Ribbon three inches
wide ie often used in making these big
round choux. Rosettes formed of narrow
loops of velvet are joined by two or three
drooping strands of the ribbon. These,
severally fastened in a suitable position,
give a pretty finish to the loose fronted or
pouched bodices which are still in high fa-
Vor.

The chief thing in pianoforte playing is
a well developed intellect, asit lights and
leads the will in all ite efforts after excel-
lence. After the mind grasps the intention
of a composer, then, and not until then, is
it ready to guide the will of the performer,
while the will, by intelligent practice, turns
this conscious knowledge into faeulty or
skill. Persons who exert the will without
this exact knowledge as a preliminary
basis, simply waste energy and accomplish
little or nothing of educational value. Here
is the chief stumbling block met in the or-
dinary practice. A moderate amount of
energy used by an enlightened mind ac-
complishes wonders in a short time.
Flowers bid fair to be a feature of all
winter millinery, and among these roses,
dahlias and nuphars are favorites. With
these appear beautiful velvet foliage tinted
in lively hues. Wings and fancy feathers
are less favored.
Simple Remedies ot Practical Value.
Cut This Out and Reserve For Future Use.
Vinegar and salt will clean the black rust
off sheet-iron frying pans, but they should
be thoroughly scoured. afterwards with
sand and soap.
The gypsies have an odd care for rhen-
matism, and as it is cheap and utterly
harmless it will not hurt to try it. They
carry a good-sized piece of brimstone in the
pocket, and warrant it to cure the worst
cases
A simple cement for broken china or
earthenware is made of powdered quick-
lime, sifted through a coarse muslin bag
over the white of an egg.
Ink spots may be taken out of wood by
a mixture of oxalic acid and water rubbed
on with a cloth.
When it becomes necessary to wash the
baby carriage put a tablepoonfal of salt
into lukewarm water and use this in con-
nection with sand soap and a small scrub-
bing brush. The salt prevents the reeds
from turning yellow.
Add a little salt to stove polish and ib
will not rub off so easily. A teaspoonful
of powdered alum mixed in it gives a fine
luster. .
When dampening clothes for ironing,the
water should be as hot as the hand can
bear. It is not necesary to use so much
water as it is when the water is cold.
To wash wicker chairs when soiled, use
strong brine.
Ribbons and silks should be put away in
brown paper, as the chloride of lime used
in manufacturing whi e paper produces dis-
coloration.
For cleaning tinware there is nothing
better than dry flour applied with a news-
paper. First wash in hot soapsuds, wipe
thoroughly dry and then scour with the
flour and a well-crumpled paper.
Boots and shoes may be rendered per-
manently waterproof by soaking them for
some hours in thick soap water. A fatty
acid is forced in the leather by the soap
which makes it impervious to water.
Leather satchels may be cleaned with a
sponge dipped in warm water, in which a
little oxalic acid has been dissolved.
George A. Jenks is Ill.
Removed from Station to Pittsburg Hotel—Was
With His Daughter.
George A. Jenks, ex-solicitor general of
the United States, and candidate for Gov-
ernor on the Democratic ticket, in the last
State campaign, arrived in Pittsburg Fri-
day evening, intending to go on to the
home of his daughter, Mis. Shiveley, wife
of ex-Congressman Shiveley,of Indiana,but
at the Union station, when about to board
the train for the West, was overcome with
weakness and had to be removed to the
Seventh Avenue Hotel, where he was im-
mediately attended by the house physician,
Dr. Miller.
At a late hour Friday night Mr. Jenks
was said to be resting easy,and to be hope-
ful of resuming his journey Saturday morn-
ing. It wa ssaid by Mrs. Shiveley,however,
who has been spending the summer at her
girlhood home, that her father bas suffered
frequently from spells of great weakness
lately, and she was apprehensive that he
would not long survive the effect of his fast
failing physical powers,due to old age and
persistent legal work, which it has been
impossible to persuade him to relinquish.
Mr. Jenks is now past 70 years old, and
while his mental powers are as brilliant and
acute as ever, he is said to be failing fast,
physically. He is a member of a noted
family of lawyers, nearly all of whom have
been at some time or other chosen to pre-
side over the court of his native county,
Jefferson, and his clientele has embraced
some of the most bitter opponents of his po-
litical principles, which have always been
consistently and aggressively Democratic.

about his religion often has the least of the
reality.
