er. Bellefonte, Pa., September 26, 1902 FARM NOTES. —The quince is a great feeder and needs good cultivation. No other fruit requires so much manure and such thorough culti- vation. If the trees are neglected, there will be no fruit. —Mistakes in farming are often costly. We should learn to avoid them by plan- ning work carefully. I made a mistake in not keeping all the stock my farm would support, instead of selling bay and grain. The fertility of the soil was not kept up, but was steadily depleted. I had too much under the plow, more than could be proper- ly fertilized at reseeding. The same land was plowed too many years in succession before reseeding. Instead of raising corn and potatoes for market they should have been fed on the farm. Old pastures, prac- tically run out, should have been plowed, fertilized and reseeded. I did not give near enough oultivation to crops during periods of drought. In dry periods culti- vation should be moist thorough. Plenty of small fruit should be raised for home use and market. Growing clover and plow- ing under to build up the soil have been found essential on my farm for its best welfare. I kept sorub stock too long. The time is past when there is profit in any- thing but carefully selected animals. —Many swarms abscond after being hived a few hours. This is because their new home is not comfortable, and it is probably too hot, says F..G. Herman in American Agriculturist. A swarm of bees needs plenty of air. After a few days when there are eggs and brood in the new hive they will rarely desert it. When hiving a swarm, we raise the front end of the hive with corner blocks made of inch stuff 2} inches wide and 5 inches long sawed diagonally from one corner to anoth- These blocks are also used for con- tracting the entrance when needed. We then slip the small end of the extension board under the bottom board of the hive, and the two little pieces of iron hold itin place. This makes a platform on which to dump the cluster of bees, when they will quickly run into the hive instead of running all over tha ground. Next put the shade hoard on top of the hive and the bees are about as comfortable as they can be and are almost always sure to stay and make it their new home. If the evening proves to be a little cool, remove the corner blocks af- ter sundown, but leave the shade board for a few days at least. —Crossing pure-bred animals, whether of cattle, sheep, swine or poultry, leads to the destruction of the breeds. In nearly all cases when the attempt is made to blend the best qualities of two different breeds, the offspring is not equal to either parent, and in the course of a few years there will be no uniformity and the stock reverts to scrub. Too much mixing is no better than keeping scrubs. It is right and proper to grade up a common herd or flock with pure bred males, but to cross two breeds is a mistake. For instance, to cross a merino with a Shropshire will result in offspring | that will not equal the dam in fineness of wool nor the sire in quality of flesh and weight of carcass. Where crossing is prac- ticed largely,as with poultry, the result is nearly always a failure, there being no uni- formity of color, size,or laying qualities. If an Ayrshire and Jersey are crossed, the offspring will not give as much milk as the Aryshire nor produce as much butter as the Jersey. To cross the breeds is to lose more than is gained. When buying pure-bred stock the fall of the year is the best season for so doing if the prices to be paid are con- sidered. The majority of breeders do not care to winter more stock than they can accommodate comfortably and are conse- quently disposed to sell at lower prices than in the spring. Better stock can also be obtained in the fall,as breeders have more on hand from which to select. —Neglecting the orchard is the cause of trees being unprofitable, but where farm- ers have recognized the orchards as sources of profit, and regarded the trees as some- thing more than ornaments, or as occupy- ing the ground from custom, the returns have been satisfactory. The land used for the orchard is frequently forced to bear two crops a year, one of grain and one of fruit, the latter crop coming hecause it is natural for trees to attempt to hear fruit, even un- der unfavorable circumstances, while the grain was intended for market. When land is thus taxed it will be but a few years before it is exhausted, as it is better to cut down the trees and give the land wholly to grain than to leave the trees to reduce the grain yield and at the same time produce only unmarketable fruis. Grain and fruit crops on the same land re- move the fertilizing materials of the soil very rapidly; yet farmers seldom apply manure on orchard land, preferring to use it on other fields. The orchard must take care of itself, becoming the prey of insects and diseases, and the trees make but little growth, or die, when they could, with care, be made to produce good paying crops at less cost for labor than grain. A crop of grain or grass may be taken from the land occasionally, but it requires time to establish an orchard; hence it isa serious mistake to neglect trees and allow them to become diseased when the labor of making an orchard and the loss of time waiting for the trees to reach the hearing stage is considered. When an orchard bas become over-run with weeds, or the trees show signs of decay, the first work should be to cut away all dead or diseased limbs and then plow the ground, applying ten bushels of lime per acre, or 25 bushels of wood ashes, harrowing the land. Work in an orchard is difficult on account of the roots, bus it shonld be plowed as well as ible, so as to break up the hard sur- e soil. Rye or crimson clover should then be seeded, if in the fall, and the ground plowed again in the spring, turn- ing the rye under. Cow peas may then be sowed on the ground, after danger of frost is over, and if desired the cow peas may he fed off by sheep, as the animals will return. a large proportion of the erop to the soil as manure. With the application of manure or fertilizer the orchard may then be seed- ed to clover, hut no orchard should be kept permanently in grass. The proper plan is to plow the clover (or any grass crop) un- der, and then grow late potatoes, cabbages or some other crop that is cultivated be- tween the rows and which requires manur- ing. Peach trees thrive beet when given clean cultivation, like corn, a crop of any kind sometimes doing harm. Clean culti- vation, with a mulch crop, such as rye, sowed in the fall and turned under in the spring, is usually beneficial. An Autumn Arbor Day. Professor Schaeffer, state superintendent of public instruction, Wednesday issued an order instituting an autumn Arbor day, and fixing it for October 17th this year. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. If a woman wants to retain her youthful appearance she must mingle with other peo | ¥ ple,read good books and cultivate an opti- mistic temperament. Nothing so destroys the youthful contour of the face as taking the cares of life too seriously. Housewives of the Martha type who are troubled about many things’’have rigid,set lips that plain- ly reveal the loss of those qualities that make a woman lovable. When our char- acters lack cheerfulness and amiability our features will unconsciously lose those soft curves which are the outward signs of in- ward beauty of thought and feeling. It is a greats misfortune to have a fretful disposition. It takes the fragrance out of one’s life and leaves only weeds where a cheerful disposition would cause flowers to bloom. The habit of fretting is one that grows rapidly unless it be sternly repressed and the best way to overcome it is to try to look always oa the cheerful side of things Wooden cornices of a wood to match the baseboard are the latest finish to the side walls of a room. Sometimes it is in L shape, put in at the angle of the wall and ceiling, one part on each. This wooden cornice, it is asserted,is the most artistic wall finish. A wall should have a crown as well as a foot and it is best that this cornice or crown should agree in material and color with the foot. The prescribed rule of fashion is to wear quite a loose-fitting glove on the street and a smaller size for dress for afternoon or evening. In millinery the most important feature is the great quantity of flowers and foliage used—the foliage in the brown fall colors, The flowers mostly used is dahlias in red velvet. and marigold flowers. Many hats are made of skin and many of black and white moire, the shapes being made by the modiste. None of the short-skirted suits for fall has a lining of the skirts—all seen built to give the greatest amount of comfort and ease and the least amount of weight. The sleeves and the skirts are the two things about suits that are showing most changes this fall. The sleeves are a trifle fuller at the top, some much fuller at the bottom, while the skirts are all seven or nine-gored without flounces. The Norfolk holds fast to its popularity. But besides Norfolks,there are tight-fitting jackets with fly fronts, and soldiery Lord Kitchener jackets with broad square shoul ders. The new corsets, though they have made the waist longer in front, have shortened it a trifle in the baci,so these jackets are made with shorter backs than last year. If you would have good bright eyes do not use them in poor light or too far from a good light. Second — Do not have the body in the way of the light nor the light directly in front. One is al- most as bad as the other. The light should fall without interruption from one side. Third—Do not use the eyes when recover- ing from illness,or when very tired. Fourth Do not use the eyes till they become wa- tery, or show signs of indistinctness of vis- ion. Fifth—Do not work with head bent over. This tends to gorge the vessels of the eyes with blood and produce conges- tion. Sixth—Do not read lying flat on the back or reclining, unless the book is sup- ported in the same relative angle and posi- tion as when erect. This is so difficult to do that it is better not to attempt it. Sev enth—Do not go a single day without glasses after you should put them on. More fullness in the back, a straighter effect in front and hip trimmings character ize the latest skirts. Fullness below the elbow marks the swagger antumn sleeve. In coats and tailor-mades this is modified, but often exaggerated in costumes. The flare is entirely eliminated from the skirt of the new walking suits. New outer garments are to be extremely full, loose, three-quarters in length and with very large sleeves, full at the shoul- der, very much so below the elbow, but gathered in closely at the cuffs. A little turpentine dissolved in warm water is the best thing with which to wash window glass, mirrors or glass globes. A. little alcohol will also do wonders in bright ening glass. Turpentine is excellent for washing sinks. Whether to wear your hair high or low depends entirely upon circumstances. The low coiffure is worn with di nner dress. It is worn with the decollete. It is worn with the honse gown. It is extremely pretty at luncheon when a peculiarly girlish effect is produced. But the low coiffure is not always so neat in the street with the tailor-made gown, for the stock ruffles the hair and a mussy look is produced. The low coiffure is not nice for the calling gown, nor is it desirable with any dress that bas the very high neck There is no keeping it neat and the bairs are broken and dishevelment follows. In buying a hat one should consider the manner in which the hair is to be worn with it. If a theatre toque, with the hair dressed ‘high, the hat should be tried on with the high coiffure. But if one is choos- ing a hat to be worn when the hair is low then the coiffare should he low when the hat is tried on. Milliners complain great- ly when their customers violate this, for they say that no good results can follow. With the low coiffure there should be the floating veil or the long silk ends, for they cover up that awkward place between the hat and the hair. When the coiffure is low there is a space between it and the hat, and this space is never pretty. It must be covered by the floating ends and made dressy by lace tabs or by veiling or by the new ribbon trimmings. It is true that the low coiffure makes one look younger,but it is at the expense of the chic quality. You may dress your hair low and put a ribbon on the hack and gain in years, but it is a question if you will look as pretty, for the high coiffure frames the face and gives you a wholly de- sirable setting, which yon cannot get with the low coil, unless you are very clever at making it. A vigorous kneading and pounding of the cheeks, done in a scientific manner, will soon result in waking them firm and sound | All the time the kueading is kept up the fingers move in a semi-circle, always in the hollow below the cheek hone. Wrinkles around the mouth are gently smoothed up- ward while any flabbiness of skin around the ears is kneaded until the texture as- sumes a desired firmness. Sleeves are now fashionable when made with large puffs at the elbow. Lived to 92, Then Burned to Death. Mrs. Nancy Beatty, aged ninety-two ears, was hurned to death at the home of her son William, on Plum Creek, midway between Shelocta and Elderton, in Arm- strong county, near the Indiana county line, last Saturday. As no one was in the room with the aged victim at the time, the cause of her burn- ing can only be covjectured, but it is thought that her apron caught fire from a cook stove before which she was sitting. When her cries for help attracted the other inmates of the house, the tlames had completely enveloped her. The clothing was burned from her body, her hair was entirely burned off, and her emaciated frame from the knees to the shoulders was fearfully seared by the cruel flames. Ina number of places the flesh was burned off completely, exhibiting the ghastly white- ness of the hones. Doctor Keeler, of Shelocta, was sum- moned and did what he could to alleviate the intense suffering of the woman, but she lingered in great agony until 2 o’clock Sunday morning, when death came to her relief. The deceased is survived by two daugh- ters. She Lay Starving in Woods. Mrs. Button, Aged 82, Lost for Five Weeks, Had Faced a Bear. . Mrs. Sarah Button, an 82 year old wom- an, who was found in Black Forest, near Cross Forks, where she had wandered over an area of 18 miles for five weeks, will die. Saturday in a comatose state, she was tak- en to the home of her son, in Hector town- ship. She had not regained consciousness Sunday. Mrs. Button had left Haneyville to walk to her son’s, 30 miles up the Coudersport ‘pike, and the last seen of her was that night. Thursday afternoon Joseph and Frank N. Swayze, diggers of ginseng root, were along Young Woman’s Creek, nine miles from the nearest house, and in one of the densest parts of the Black Forest, when they found Mrs. Button lying under a ledge of rocks and just able to whisper. She had had nothing but berries for five weeks, and had srawled into a cave for shelter from the cold. One night a black hear shambled into the place, and she fled. One day last week she heard voices, but she was too weak to make herself heard. She is now a mere skeleton, and was car- ried out of the forest on a stretcher made of poles. Started Suit to Recover $25,000 Damages. Mis. John Martz, the widow of John Martz, the well-known engineer who was kiiled at the Lycoming creek bridge dis- aster on the Pennsylvania railroad, near Williamsport, last December has agreed to a settlement with tbe railroad company and bas received the sum of $3,500. Mrs. Martz and her family now reside at her former home, Lykens. No settlement has been effected between the company with the widows of the other two men, Mrs. John Horley and Mrs. Fred Glass, who were killed at the same time, although the company has made several offers. Mrs. John Horley has entered suit to recover $25,000 damages. Once Wealthy Now Edwards, who built Wilkesbarre’s first hotel, and whose wealth was at one time estimated at $1,000,000, Monday applied at the rooms of the United Charity organ- ization in that city for something to eat and clothes to wear. He is 98 years of age and says he is penniless. In his old age the man was made an easy victim of sharp- ers, who got him to go into all kinds of schemes, none of which paid, but were the means of impoverishing him. The old map will receive good care for the rest of his days. Poor. Read—Read Carefully. We sell harness to every part of the county, and over a large part of the State.
