FARM NOTES.
—Salt and sulphurshould always be kep$
where fattening cattle can get at them.
—The properties of sunflower seed are
peculiar, and a small quantity fed at the
proper time will essentially aid in impart-
ing to the plumage of adult fowls a gloss
that no other grain will produce.
—Cut off asparagus tops close to the
ground and burn them. Then broadcast
rotten manure until the soil is completely
covered. This treatment will help to pre-
vent the rust next year and to insure an
early growth of grass. A spring dressing
of nitrate of soda will be an additional
help.
Stable Sanitation—Whitewash will kill
and hold all germs with which it comes in
contact. It has the effect of making the
barn or enclosure lighter and much more
wholesome for the animals consained in it.
Whitewash can be put on with a good spray
pump made for that purpose, or with a
brush. On rough walls, the material should
be very thick, especially for the first coat.
The interior of any building sprayed sever-
al times during the season will be much
less liable to spread germs in the milk and
other substances.
Saving Seed Corn that will Grow—1I have
never in all the years that I have saved
seed corn, failed to get an excellent stand.
I always wait until I start to busking corn
for cribbing, which is about October 20th.
Then I either have a box fitted to the dash-
board of the wagon, or else use the front
end of the wagon box. Whenever I find a
dry ear that suits my idea of what a good
ear of corn should be, I put it in to the box
or throw it into the front end of the wagon.
At noon and at night I pick out the select-
ed corn as I am shoveling the load into the
crib. This I put away and keep dry. I
always take 1t into the house, where I have
an extra room that is used for storing odds
and ends. If it is thoroughly dry I cord it
up against the partition wall, but if it is
not dry I lay it down in a pile on the floor,
and give the room good ventilation during
the day. Ina good dry cellar that never
got damp, I have taken lath and tacked to
the joists. I placed the corn cn the laths
close up against the floor.
Every grain grew. I find my plan far
better and much less work than going
through before husking time, for then corn
has to be hung up and dried before putting
away for winter. Our corn field will show
what my plan will do for I always have an
excellent stand. Iamaware that there are
vears when corn will grow if taken direct
from the crib. Bat no one can tell when
that year is at hand. I always want to
know that there is to be no replanting. I
am always sure that I have seed corn that
will grow.— American Agriculturist.
—The hygienic measures to be observed
in the management of animals during ges-
tation are in general those which prevail
always irrespective of this condition. But
besides these general riincipals there are a
few particnlar precautions to be attended
to in order that this period may be safely
and successfally passed. These precautions
are all the more necessary as the period of
birth approaches. Too much nursing and
pampering by removing animals further
from their natural condition, is unneces-
sary and likely to do more harm than
good.
With those animals which are employed
in labor, as the mare, it is well not to work
them severely, nor fatigue them much and
particularly as pregnancy is advanced. On
the other hand, absolute repose is perni-
cious. Exercise is most beneficial, for the
most diffienlt cases of parturition generally
occur among those animals to which this is
denied.
The pregnant mare will accomplish ordi-
nary and accustomed work, particularly if
it be slow, without any harm and perhaps
benefit until the eighth or ninth month,
when more care must he observed, bat
moderate exercise should always be allow-
ed up until the period of parturition. Har-
ness is preferable to saddle work for preg-
nant mares, and fast trotting, galloping,
jumping, traveling over broken ground, or
severe and sudden exertions injures or
shocks of any kind are to be avoided. In
fact, all extremes should be guarded against.
If the animal must be employed for riding,
the spurs should not he used. because the
sndden contraction of the abdominal mus-
cles which their application induces may
lead to abortion. Should the animal not
be employed at moderate work, then it
ought to be regularly exercised, or turned
into a yard provided with shelter from in-
olement weather.
The food of pregnant animals is an im-
_ portant consideration and they should be
well fed. The appetiteis generally increas-
ed and there is a tendency to fatten. This
should be guarded against. This precau-
tion is more to he ohserved in the second
than in the first half of pregnancy, when
the food should be plentiful but not in ex-
cess, and flesh more abundant than fat. The
food should be of good quality, very nutri-
tive, easy of indigestion and not likely to
induce eonstipation. Indigestion should be
carefully guarded against and unaccustom-
ed, hard, damp, bulky, moldy, fermentable
or otherwise hurtful foods should be avoid-
ed * .
Grazing on level pasture lands is favora-
ble to pregnant animals, for the reason that
they take their own exercise and breathe
purer atmosphere than that of stables and
sheds. The water should be pure and
plentifal at all times. Never allow preg-
nant animals to drink very cold or ice wa-
ter, nor eat food at a low temperature.
Frozen food, as roots or grass, covered with
white frost, should be withheld.
Cleanliness above all things should be
rigorously observed. All animals within a
week or two of parturition should be kept
apart iu a clean, well ventilated, roomy
apartment, with a fair supply of litter.
Stables, sheds and loose boxes should have
wide doors to prevent injury while passing
throngh. Stalls and floors should he as
level as possible. If the inclination back-
ward be at'all marked there is danger of
prolopsus of the vagina and eversion of the
nterus.
When the above precautions have been
observed, and the bowels are moving free-
ly, it is rare that anything requires to he
done, except allow the animal perfect quiet.
A trusty person may remain with it to
avert accidents, but heshould usually keep
. oub.ofisight and meddle with the animalay
litle as possible; unless something irregn-
lar or abnormal occurs, Should anything
wrong ocour, no unqualified person should
venture to attempt to deliver the animal.
The veterinary sargeon should be sent for,
ae his knowledge and skill will nsually
bting a difficuls or protracted labor to a
prompt termination. This appeal to the
veterinarian is not usually made until the
‘owner, serviuts or neighbors bare done
serious damags.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMKN.
The vogue of the bertha bas brought the
old-fashioned round, low neck into favor
again as the popular shape for the neck of
a low cut gown.
Soft cloths or bodies of beaver are used
in creating very stylish hats, as they can be
bent into any shape desired.
Horizontal effects are much more prefer-
red this season for skirt garniture tnan the
up and down styles. This applies particu-
larly to tucks.
Fruits are much favored in the millinery
world, especially grapes.
Tapestry wall papers are having quite an
extended vogue this season, but much care
should be exercised in their selection, for
while some are very effective others are
quite the reverse. The verdure kinds, com-
bining blue and green and the dull brown,
are usually the most satisfactory. Friezes
as wall finishes are now quite passe ; the
paper runs up to an angle moulding of
wood finished like the woodwork of the
room and put in at the angle of the wall
and ceiling.
French knots play a very prominent part
on gowns. They add such an exquisite
finish. On lines of narrow velvet they are
particularly effective. Black and white are
the usual favorite. For the most part they
are small. Great care should be taken that
they are of even size and planted an equal
distance apart. : :
Turquoise and coral beads, with the ac-
cent on the latter, form the Frenchy touch
noticed on the imported gowns. A narrow
band of black velvet worn around the neck
dotted with beads of the same or graduat-
ing in size, promises to grace many pretty
throats. French brilliant buttons are also
used for the same purpose aod are very
effective.
Long haired zibelines and white flecked
woolens are the leading novelties in mate-
rials, bus though there is nothing whatso-
ever original about it, the smart woman is
always more or less faithful to the fine-face
cloth, which always looks well, and drapes
so perfectly. Shot cloths and chine woolens
are new, but we can imagine them being
somewhat tiring to live with; after all plain
materials are most elegant and form the
best back grounds. Not that the back-
ground is very much seen, for embroideries
and appliques are used to such an extent
that very little can be seen of the material
on which they rest. Woolen guipures,
Persian and Russian embroideries, braids
and guipures are all employed as trimming
and above all dangling tassels and ‘long
pendant fringes.
Broad shoulders are going out of fashion,
so it is said, and its to be the sloping shoul-
ders now. The sleeve has a drooping ef-
fect. The shoulder is cut very long. The
sleeve is sewed in with little or no fullness
and the ceam turned inside the armhole
against the waist, and in this way the
drooping effect is increased. Sleeves are
growing larger and larger from the elbow
to the wrist. The double effect 1s pro-
nounced, and the more elaborate the sleeves
the better.
As for trimmings, it is to be a season of
trimmings. Big buttons and little buttons
will be seen. Silk passementeries, especial-
ly in the new drop effect, will be a favorite
trimming, and passementerie and jet in
what is known as the macaroon ornament
is a novelty of the season. Spangled trim-
mings combined with jet heads are seen in
many artistic designs.
White felt hats, trimmed with white and
green wings or with soft panne rosettes in
many shades, are extremely popular, and
for country wear russet leaves with berries
or trails of ivy with mistletoe or snow ber-
ries, are very fashionable.
Marks left by hot dishes of food ona
highly polished dining table may be remov-
ed by using equal parts of linseed oil and
alcohol rubbed on the stains.
Camphor is a good all-around agent for
restoring varnish. When rubbed over blis-
tered or whitened spots it will bring back
much of the former luster.
To keep a dining room table in a good,
well polished condition, a famous hostess
recommends that it be rubbed once a week
with a mixtare of one ounce of spirits of
turpentine and one ounce of olive oil, ap-
plied with a piece of soft flannel. Turpen-
tine is largely used in these varnish restor-
ers. In some cases a clean, dry cloth will
encourage the luster and practically wipe
away that queer dust film that clings to
highly polished surfaces.
For ink spots try nitre. Take oue tea-
spoonful of water and six drops of nitre,
dip a feather (any chicken feather will do)
applying it to the spot. As soon as the ink
goes away, rub with a damp cloth to re-
move the nitre, which, if not absorbed, will
leave behind a white spot. A saturated
solution of oxalicacid is sometimes used for
the same purpose.
Where there are children in the house
finger marks are a likely occurrence; apply
olive oil to a soft ragand touch the spot.
Do not put the oil directly on the table, hut
on the clath as stated above.
This same precantion applies to all meth-
ods of removing spots or polishing. Ap-
ply a little at a time, work in effectively,
putting the liquid upon the cloth, never on
the bare surface. Do not attempt to clean
with water; the varnish immediately loses
its luster, becoming cloudy. For nnvar-
niched woods use kerosene.
A good furniture polish is made of equal
parts of linseed oil, vinegar and alcohol
well mixed together. Thore who have
tried it say that it is mostsatisfactory. One
cloth should be used for applyingand a dry
one for rubbing it in the wood. Never pour
on the mixture too generously—a little will
RO a great way. ws
While on the subject of polishing here is
a good one that will keep hard stained
floors in excellent condition. Cut eight
ounces of beeswax into small pieces, adding
two quarts of spirits of turpentine and one
quart of venetian turpentine. When the
beeswax is dissolved the mixture may be
boiled for use. Use soft flannel when ap-
plying.
Stiff neckwear should take the place of
the little sheer collars and cuffs—in Paris
"all the well dress women are wearing stiff
things even with the most elaborate waists,
The collars, some, of them. turn down the
whole depth; others are only deep enongh
to form a turnovér. Cuffs are deeper—2
and 3 inches now.
With the turnover collars, women are
wearing four-in-hands tied in a new fash-
ion. After the knot is tied the end is
brought up under the collar and down out-
side again, covering up all the white of the
collar.
Henry Phipps, Philanthropist.
This New Yorker puts up Cash to Start a Clinic
for Poor Consumptives and Promises to Keep it
@oing
Through the philanthropy of Henry
Phipps, a New York man, but a native
Pennsylvanian, Philadelphia is to have a
clinic for the treatment of poor consump-
tives. Mr. Phipps is very much interested
in charitable work of any kind and when
he heard, through Dr. Lawrence F. Flick,
736 Pine street, president of the Free Hos-
pital for Poor Consumptives, that Philadel-
phia was in need of a clinic he immediately
gave $5000 for the purpose of securing suit-
able quarters for a clinic and said he would
give enough money every year to support
the institution. .
The Free Hospital for Poor Consumptives,
which has the plans for the clinic in charge,
and has accepted the offer of Mr. Phipps
bas already taken steps to secure quar-
ters for the officers and dispensary of the
clinic. While the exact site of the building
has not yet been made known, it is nnder-
stood that it will be in some district popu-
lated mostly by the poorer classes.
Mr. Phipps stated to the society in charge
of the work that he will give more money
if it is necessary. The cost of the main-
tenance of such a clinic will be from $3000
to $4000 a year, all of which Mr. Phipps
has promised to pay. He has long been
identified with chaiitable work, and a few
months ago gave $100,000 for the aid of
the widows of the Boers. He has also be-
fore given several thousand dollars to the
Free Hospital for Poor Consumptives which
is in operation at White Haven.
Bearded Woman Dead.
After touring the world for nearly all
the 37 years of her life as ‘‘America’s
World’s Wonder,”” Mrs. William Dono-
van, a bearded lady, who was attached to
the Barnum & Bailey circus, died at her
home in Brooklyn from consumption on
Wednesday. ;
Throughout her career she had been at-
tached to the Barnum & Bailey shows, he-
ginning when she was 9 months old, go
soon did hair appear upon her baby face.
Her mother remained with her until she
was 9 years old, but because of a number
of other children in the family was com-
pelled to leave her to her own resources.
She bad been married twice.
One of the most successful grape
growers in the State is Henry M. Mayer, of
Rohrerstown, Lancaster conuty. His vine-
yard is a small one—only eighty-four vines
—but from that limited number marvelous
results have heen obtained. From a single
vine be plucked thirty bushels of grapes,
weighing twenty-seven pounds. A bunch
of Niagaras weighed forty-eight ounces and
many other bunches weighed from a pound
and a half to two pounds. His vines are
on horizontal wire trellis and occupy but a
limited area.
J. H. Egolf, of Douglassville, has a brood
sow that gave birth to a litter of nine pigs,
among the lot being one that had seven
perfectly formed legs and twotails. Itliv-
ed for several hours and has been placed in
a jar of alcohol.
The largest pumpkins raised in Eastern
Pennsylvania were raised by A. Groh, of
Dale, and by John W. Seidel, of Lower Al-
sace. From two seeds Mr. Groh raised
five pumpkins weighing 129, 117, 97, 88
and 83 pounds, respectively, the largest
measuring 73 inches in circumference.
Patent Granted to Alleged Marderer.
Invention of Pittsburg Youth Suspected of Slaying
Family is Approved. Cawley Appears Sane.
Charles Cawley, the Homestead youth in
jail under suspicion of having killed his
mother, three sisters and two brothers
with an axe, has received word that he has
been granted a patent on a street car brake
he perfected just before the tragedy.
His uncle, Patrick Boyle, conveyed the
news to the young inventor, whose reason,
it is supposed. was dethroned by close ap-
plication to mechanics. Boyle =aid his
nephew conversed intelligently about the
patent, giving explicit directions for the
protection of it, and talking sanely about
his affairs.
Coroner Geary will not hold an inquest
in the case until another sister, who is in
the South Side hospital, in a critical con-
dition, recovers or dies.
