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
