Diemer Wad Bellefonte, Pa., October 24, 1902 som ——— FARM NOTES. —Salt should be alway accessible. —Clean and thoroughly air stables before milking. —Never mix fresh warm milk with that which has been cooled. —All persons who milk the cows should have the finger nails cut closely. —Keep the stable and dairyroom in good condition, fresh air and clean. —Milk with dry hands. Never allow the hands to come in contact with the milk. . —Use no dry, dusty feed just previous to milking; if fodder is dusty sprinkle it before it is fed. —Middlings make a good food for poul- try, hat if wet up alone it is too sticky. The better plan is to wix with bran or corn and wet with milk or scalding water. — Whitewash is better than paint on the poultry houses, for the reason that it costs less and has a purifying influence. It may be applied as often as once a month to ad- vantage. —A neighbor turned his cattle into an orchard with fallen apples—a bad place for cows. One cow became badly choked with an apple. A neighbor happened to have a piece of rubber hose, about three feet long, rather stiff. We greased this with lard, held the cow’s head up, and shoved the hose down her throat, pushing the apple down into the stomach. A piece of rubber hose is just the thing for this purpose, being flexible and soft, yet stiff enough for the purpose. Hogs are better for the orchard than cows. A litle caution saves trouble and expense in many in- stances. —A little bed of parsley is not as com- mon as it should be in country gardens. If it is lacking this year, there is all the more reason to plan a sowing for next sea- son. It must be remembered, lest dis- couragement result. that parsley requires plenty of time to germinate, four weeks being an ordinary period before the little seedlings show, and it may even be six weeks before the leisurely parsley makes up its mind to appear above ground. A strip of carpet laid over the place where the seed is sown until it begins to sprout conserves moisture and encourages ger- mination. Soak the seed a few hours be- fore sowing. In the fall lift a clump of parsley with a spade, so as not to beak the earth around the roots, and place it in a box, which should stand in any reason- ably light place whereit will not freeze hard and thus supply a winter garnish and fla- voring. —A writer in the National Stockman gives this method of treating a kicking horse. Put on him a strong surcingle and crupper. Have one ring where the check hook comes and one eight inches lower on the right side. Now run a strap from the lower ring to the crupper about where the hip strap passes through. Now take a five-eighths inch rope fifteen feet long, fasten it to the ring at the check and then hook through the ring in the halter and back through the lower ring in the surcin- gle. Strap up his left fore foot. This should be done in a straw yard. Now you have him ready. Take your rope and go ahead of him a few feet, a little to the right, and begin to pull. Hold him steady and let him fight this hard, but keep drawing his head to his side and he will go down to the ground. Now you have him where you want bim. Show him you can do as you please with him. Keep him there until he gives up, if it takes all day. Show him you can handle him but do it kindly. —Numerous experiments at times have shown the worthlessness as egg preservers of ashes, sulphur, permangate of potash, gypsam. Dry salt kept eggs fairly well, but injured the flavor. Vaseline or grease rnbied on the shells worked well for short periods, but was a failure in the ten months’ tests. The old formula, one pound quicklime, one-half pound salt and oue gallon water. was a success, although ‘flavor was slightly salty. Unfortunately the clear lime pickle does not appear to have been tested with the others. The best success of all was with water glass or silicate of soda. This costs 40 to 60 cents per gallon and may be reduced with water when used to as low as three per cent. water glass. The eggs must be very fresh and should be completely im- —ersed in the solation. Even this prepara- tion was not successful in every case, but was usually so, the eggs being as good as fresh eggs for cooking. The egg ladle, is a great convenience in bandling Jarge num- bers of eggs. It is made of a round, shal- low tin pan with a long handle, the tin be- ing perforated to drain off the liquid. With it the eggs may be gently lowered into the barrel or tank without risk of breakage. When wanted again they are removed with the dipper and placed on a rack of slats to dry.—G. B. Fiske, in Farm and Home. —The bees should be fed early, so they can seal up their stores, and feeding at this time not only insures good stores, but it also creates brood rearing, which. is as important as feeding. The feeding should be done to secure the best results in pro- moting the production of brood; to do this, they should be fed regularly every day during the entire month, so that at the close we have the reanired amount of stores and several frames full of brood, be- sides a good supply of young bees. Sngar-fed colonies, if properly fed, usually winter better than those not so fed especially if there is no honey flow at this time. We may exceptionally have such a honey flow in autumu that hees do nos re- quire any feed, but this is very rare, and colonies that do not have enough stores in the hive at the close of the honey harvest seldom gain much during the balance of the season. Late feeding just before going into winter quarters is not good policy, for the bees cannot seal up their stores, even if they are fed sufficiently, and no brood rearing will be done at this time, and we lose half of the benefits. It is best when beginning to feed to feed lightly for a week or more. This will give the queen a chance to fill the brood vest with eggs; then during the latter part of the month feed more heavily until the re- quired amount is given. Bees that are to be wintered out of doors without extra protection should be fed more; and 30 or 40 pounds will nos be too much. If win: tered in the cellar, 25 pounds is safe enough. Some who make a specialty feed less or carry them through with less honey, but they feed in early spring. It is best to feed enough honey daring the fall to both spring and winter them, for they may be neglected in spring.—A. H. Daft, in Farm- ers’ Voice. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Very fashionable people are now using extremely large letters to mark their house- bold linen—about six inches high being the prescribed size. Forest colors—that is dark brown or a rich leaf green, are the craze of the hour as house decorative schemes. Constant worry and prolonged grief hasten gray hairs. The use of curling- irons, long kept up, also hastens the rav- ages of time. Many persons make the sad mistake of using preparations for softening the hair containing oils or greasy sub- stances. This is a great error, as they on- ly obstruct the pores, preventing its growth, the oils gathering every particle ef dust, thereby clogging the pores of the scalp. Too frequent shampooing the hair or wash- ing it with soap and water is very destruct- tive. Soap if often used, changes the color and tends to fade it, although ordinary yellow kitchen soap keeps blonde hair from having the usual dingy appearance. A fine way to remove dust or oil, says the “Pilgrim,” from the hair is to dissolve a small quantity of white soap in spirits of wine, rinsing well with tepid water. The hair should always be perfectly dried and wel! brushed, fanning thoroughly sepa- rates the hair, rendering it soft and pliable. Salt water used as a gargle will strength- en the throat and harden the gums; used as a wash it will strengthen weak eyes; used in the bath it is a tonic; as a lotion for the hair it will prevent its falling. Yellow teeth, it is said, are usually in- dicative of bodily vigor, and very pearly white ones of a more fragile constitution. There is only one general rule to offer respecting the care of the teeth, and that is that they be kept immaculately clean and in perfect health. Their color then mat- ters nothing, for their condition will prove that they are well attended to. Should the gums be tender and spongy, the gener- al health, upon which the condition of the teeth so much depends, should be made the subject of inquiry. A healing and soothing tooth powder is made of precipitated chalk 1 0z., of pow- dered myrrh one-fourth oz., and the same quantity of powdered orris root. In the styles for the coming season it is said that the attention will centre on waists, sleeves, coats and the like, while the skirts will have little that is new in its make-up. That being so, the skirt of the present certainly deserves some attention, both for what it is and for what it promises to be, in the first place it is close-fitting at the top, except in very thin materials, and it flares more decidedly than ever. The three favorite skirts of the day seem to be the one made with stitched tucks, the one with the flonnce at the bottom, and the one with a flounce at the top, the last he- ing the tunic in reality. It is seen” in a gown of light etamine the flounce or tunic and the underskirt both being bordered with lace. © The waist of this gown basa drapery effect carried out in the lace that is very pretty. The sleeve is large. That is, it may be large, the cus depending upon the nature of the garment. Not large, have a mind, please, like the sleeve of a few years back, when that particular part of every gown worn by every woman without exception assumed grotesque proportions. The pres- ent sleeve is large around the wrist; it flows, or it droops, bag fashion, from a quaint wristband. Orit is large at the elbow. It is not large at the shoulder— never that. The coat sleeve, in order to accommodate the folds of the dress sleeve, is also cut with a flare, and the effect is al- together very pretty indeed. The winter skirt has a narrow front gore, a very narrow gore, that looks to be just half of what should be required. There is also a fancy for the nine-gored skirt, as this is very flaring around the feet when cut with the requisite slant on each edge. The plaited skirt is also popular, and then, most important of all is it, that it fit smoothly around the hips. The skirt of the present day mast be the careful work of the tailor artist if it wonld meet all of fashion’s possibilities, but then,again, with a good pattern, it is within the reach of the home woman who is a careful seam- stress. It is wise, in cutting every skirt, to allow the length to exceed by several inches the required.length all around, as it may then be drawn up over the hips at the waist line, and fitted carefully into the band. There is less extreme about the slant or dip in the front of the waist line than there was in the spring. Such ex- tremes as the one to which it was carried, as for example, in the case of the fleshy woman who located her waist line at the middle of the abdomen, rarely last long. The best gowns have very little perceptible dip, confining the latter to the most grace- ful proportion. Black is being worn more this winter than for many seasons past. When black is hecoming it is very much so, but to the average woman. there is no beautifying power in its unrelieved sombreness. It ac- centuates the lines, the lack of color and other complexion faults. But almost any woman 2an wear black if it be relieved by just the right color for her complexion. With a tonch of white, pale blue, or other becoming shades, and the use of soft white or cream materials, black raiment may be worn by the woman who could not other- wise assume it: One of the best-looking girls at a tea the other afternoon wore a black broad-cloth suit, with a white silk wais$, one of the new embroidered white silk stocks, a huge bunch of violets, white gloves and a tricorne shaggy white heaver hat trimmed in black. It was a very simple and be- coming toilet, but it did not suffer a bit in distinction by comparison with the more elaborate costumes around it. At last the vogue of the Eton jacket as an outer garment bas waned, and now we have coats with basques or the three-quar- ter length model. Lace collars coming well over the shoul- ders ave favorite embellishments for faney bodices, obtaining their touch of newness from stiapped designs of cloth or velvet. Butterflies of black lace are an odd and new garniture much used as appliques on white evening gowns. New flannel waists are out in green and bloe and other dark 1iich plaids: There are made in regular tailor fashion, as the plain shirtwaists should be, without a tuck or frill and with plain cuffs made to wear with cuff links. New shirtwaists of this style button down the front wich large white pearl buttons. The cuffs vary from 2 to 2% inches in width. G. W. Did Not Do It. But the Cheiry Trees Were Ruined all the Same. Fence posts and old used railroad ties when fast in the ground would seem to be inoffensive enough, and that they should bave caused the death of the cherry trees near by tells like a fairy tale, but it is what they did. Some five yearsago arow of oak posts was set between two rows of thrifty, bearing cherry trees standing 30 feet apart. Last year the trees were seen to be dying. Fungus growth was seen in the seams of the bark and toadstools were growing ab the base of the trunk. This year they are all dead and from the ground to the top- most branch they are as white ag if painted with patches of the fungus. WHY THE TREES DIED. Examination shows the posts to have been possessed of the fungus—probably were killed by it before being cut. Pat in to the ground the mycelium or growing thread or spawn of the fungus left the dead wood and traveled to the living trees on each side, entering them from wounds in the roots, these wounds caused, maybe, by insects or hy moles or possibly by the cul- tivator when working the ground above them. At about the time these fence posts were set, and on the same farm, a cave or out- side cellar was constructed in the space be- tween four other cherry trees. The timber forming the underground walls was dis- carded ties, the wood seemingly sound enough to answer the purpose. Fungus growth was noticed in them, hut was attri- buted to the prevailing dampness. But the four trees around this cave are dead. Ex- amination shows the mycelium to have gone from the ties into the wounds of the tree roots, wounded in digging for the cave. FATAL GROWTH FROM THE SPORES. Last winter one of these trees that, al- though dead, was left standing as a sup- port for a hop vine planted at its base was a mass of the most heautiful fungus growth, any clump of it being worthy to serve as a sculptor’s model. This covered the tree from hottom to top, at first white, later changing to velvety brown, shading from light to dark. This growth in its spores was also a source of infection. Carried by the wind wherever they found lodgment in a wound of a tree growth may begin that will eventually destroy the tree. The growth from the spores takes longer time than from the spawn, but is just as surely death. NO ,REMEDY. Remedy there isnone. When fungus ap- pears in the seams of the bark or in the crotch of limbs, or as toadstools about the base, the enemy isin possession and the earlier the tree is cut down and dug out and burned, root and branch, and the soil thoroughly dressed with sulphur, the fewer the chances for the dissemination of the destroying element. Miss Thaw Gets Almost a Million. Pittsburg Young Woman Comes Into Possession of Very Valuable Inheritance. Estate Is Divided in- to Four Parts, With Large Cash Deposit Shown. A document was filed in the orphans’ court of Allegheny county last week which is notable hy reason of its showing that Elizabet Hird Thaw, now of age, is entitled to an estate of almost $1,000,000 left her by her father, William Thaw. of that city. The testamentary guardians of Miss Thaw were also trustees of the estate. They were Elizabeth D. Thaw, Benjamin Thaw and James Darsey. The first and final account was filed yeterday and shows tbat Miss Tnaw inherited in cash, coke trust, income and capital, $373,608.08. The accountants charge themselves with $263,- 119.81 in the cash account and, after claim. ing credits by reason of investments and loan, report a balance of $48,216.25. The coke trust account shows a balance of $34- 271.20- The income account shows that $200,000 was paid to Elizabeth D. Thaw under the terms of the will of the decedent. Mrs. Thaw maintained and educated Miss Thaw until she became of age. She recently at- tained her majority and the estate was turned over to her. The report as filed was contained in many typewritten pages and the cost of the filing alone was $54. Under the provisions of the will Miss Thaw is a free agent and is entitled to do with her inheritance as she desires. While the exception of Miss. Helen Gould Miss. Thaw is pro bably the richest young woman in the United States.
