Dewar Wada Bellefonte, Pa., November 2I, 1902 FARM NOTES. —A lazy man would make a poor poui- try man. —Two small poultry runs are better than one large one. —Keep plenty of grit where the fowls can have access to it. —The best way to cure sickness among the hens is to prevent if. —Better not keep the male birds with the females during the moulting season. —Any fowls that are not to be carried through the winter should be sold now. —The smaller and more crowded the poultry quarters, the cleaner they must be kept. > —Do not fall into the common error of thinking the poultry business can be mas- tered in a day. —The Ontario station has demonstrated that wheat and bran make a whiter flesh and corn a yellow one. —-There is mighty little sickness among fowls which are properly housed and given the right kind of feed and attention. — Leaves should be thrown on the poultry house floor, not only because they afford scratching material in which the fowls can exercise, but also hecause they prevent draughts of air on the floor and assist in keeping the house warm. —Dauring the winter aphides on house plants cause much annoyance, but with care and attention they may be destroyed. Make a solution of an ounce of soap ina pint and a-haif of water, adding a tea- spoonful of ammonia water. Bottle and keep ready for use. Mix a gill of the mix- ture with two gills of warm water and syringe the plants, again syringing with fresh warm water an hour after, in order to rinse the plants. Do this twice a week until the aphides are destroyed. —Mushrooms may be grown in a cellar and in boxes in a dark place, but it is bet- ter to make a bed, consisting of fine manure, with about one-fourth ‘rich soil. The manure should be allowed to heat and thoroughly decompose, when the spawn should be planted. A temperature of ahoust 70 degrees will then be required. As some experience is necessary, and many details must be explained, beginners should pro- cure special books on the subject, which may be had of leading seedsmen. —Red clover and orchard grass ripen about the same time, timothy ripening about three weeks later. As clover and timothy do not ripen together it will be worthy of an experiment to use orchard grass and clover on some soils. Timothy and clover give the largest yields, how- ever, and will be used in preference by the majority for that reason, though the two kinds (clover and timothy) would be more suitable if ripening at the same time. —Cows go dry from mismanagement more than from any other cause. Irregu- larity of milking and failure to ‘‘strip” when milking will cause any cow to dry off. The richest milk is the last drawn from the udder, and for that reason alone the dairyman should strip closely. Changes of food, when made suddenly, will also cause the cows to fall off in yield, but in the winter the cause may also be due to extreme cold and insufficient shelter, while in summer the use of netting in the win- dows, to protect the stables against the en- trance of flies and other insects, will serve to prolong the milking period. —Mulching orchard trees with vegetable matter causes them to send out feeding roots near the surface. Therefore it be- comes necessary to continue to mulch, as plowing would interfere with the shallow root system. Cover crops are necessary on rolling soils that are inclined to wash, but these crops should be cut and left on the ground, for to make hay of such crops is to rob the trees of what is due them. We have long held the opinion that grass should never be grown in an orchard, and among grasses we include corn, sorghum and sugar cane. Cow peas, vetches or clovers are better, and in such cases hay can be made, and the stubble and roots will repay to the trees more than they have taken away. All such crops, how- ever, should remain on the ground until cool weather in the fall, when shade is no longer needed by the soil. —Wild mustard isa bad plant when it obtains possession of a farm. Itis often introduced through clover seed, but may get in through oats or other seeds. Where not too abundant, the best means to eradi- cate it is by hand pulling, provided this is done hefore the seeds are ripe. Another method of destroying mustard which has been widely recommended is the spraying of infested fields with a solution of blue- stone or copper sulphate. This must be done before the mustard plants have reach- ed a height of eight or nine inches. Two pounds of bluse-stoue to ten gallons of wa- ter are used. Where neither of these meth- ods is practicable a weeder or slant tooth harrow may be used to good advantage with grain crops. It is not only safe, but of advantage to the crops. Two weedings should be given hefore the grain is seven or eight inches high.—American Agricul- turist. —The burying of cabbage heads down and roots up is a mistake, although the custom is an old ove. When the heads are buried and the ground becomes frozen the cabbages are completely sealed up and can- not be used. Later, as the ground thaws, the heads begin to rot, and a large propor- tion of them are lost from that cause. The proper plan is to select a high location, open a row with a one-horse plow, put the cabbages in, roots down and heads out, placing them close together, the heads slanting so as to turn water. Next make another row, throwing the dirt on the roots of the cabbages in the first row. When all the cabbages are put in they will bein a compact mass. Place straw on the heads and boards on the straw, to shed rain. If preferred, the cabbages may be thus placed under a shed, and covered with straw. If the roots are put in the ground and the heads out the cabbages will be alive, the stalks will give crops of sprouts for early greens in the spring, and not a head will rot. while they may be cut off from the stalks at any time when wanted, whether the ground is frozen or not, by simply lift- ing the straw. In fact, they will keep in such good condition as to hegin growing in the spring, if not disturbed, in the effort - to produce seed. ——Subseribe for the WATCHMAN. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEKN. One of the prettiest centre pieces that you can have for your Thanksgiving din- ner is a common yellow pumpkin cut in two,length ways then cleaned out and used as a receptacle for the fruit that is to be served at the dinner. The contrast of the yellow pumpkin, purple and white grapes, rosy cheeked apples and bananas or pears make a very pretty decoration. Wheat or other grain heads can be arranged around an embroidered centre piece,or highly col- ored autumn leaves are heautiful for a din- ner table decoration. The boy baby wears his white baby frocks until he is two years old. Then un- til he is three he may wear little kilt dresses of gingham or linen, simply made to be easily washed. The skirts come on- ly to his knees, and the bindings must have plenty of good, strong button holes, in order that the skirt may not sag away from the waist. The straight front corset still prevails. The short corset, however, is noc longer a la mode. A corset is short either above or below the waist line. For instance, slender women choose corsets that are cut off over the abdomen or hips but extend ‘well up under the arms and over the bust. The stout woman chooses the reverse. The corset for stout women is sometimes ridic- ulously long over the hips. Such a cut, when not exaggerated, goes a long way to- ward making the figure neater. Men’s fine linen handkerchiefs have the initials worked in a fancy figure of some kind in one corner, separate small initials frequently, or there may be two small ini- tials in a larger one. t Take three tablespoonfuls of flour, one heaping tablespoonful of mustard, and the white of one’egg. Beat the egg thorough- ly, stir in the mustard, and then put in gradually, little by little, the flour. This will make a plaster which can be kept on for: some time without blistering, and it certainly is almost a necessity. A ‘well-known physician, speaking of headache from eye-strain, says that it is not readily recognized, perhaps, because it is of no special type. - It may be only an oceasional dull pain in the forehead or the, temples; it may be a general soreness, or it may be a throbbing, racking headache,. which the slightest noise or a bright light makes unbearable. The only distinctive characteristic is its persistency; its refusal to vield permanently to any system of medication, dieting or hygienic living. He advises persons who have a persistent head- ache to have their eyes examined by a com- petent oculist, for a correction of defective vision will give immediate relief, and only properly fitted glasses will do this. At the baginning of the season came the announcement that rough stuffs and smooth stuffs would share the honors of the win- ter. But gradually a distinction has risen between the two—rough stuffs have gone into walking suits or elaborately trimmed gowns, and smooth stuffs, like broadcloth, have been kept for the plain, finely tailor- ed suits with that air of distinction that nothing but broadcloth can give. The jackets are either blouse or fly-front—some tight-fitting, some double-breasted. The skirts are lined throughout with silk. While a roanskin or dark Spanish leath- er screen is the most fashionable to accom- pany a dining room or library furnished in dark oak, it is entirely out of place in a Georgian room, where mahogany is used. In the latter case, one having three or four panels of solid mahogany, each with a slightly shaped top,and a crest or monogram carved in the centre of one, is a good design. The hinges should be of antique finished brass. All walking and tailor costumes have skirts that just clear the ground and have no trains. It is a different matter in the case of smart frocks. Certainly the skirts of these are not so long as they were, but they make it up in fullness and absolutely lie in folds around the feet. The very newest of the new is the pleated skirt—an old and pretty fashion revived. This is arranged in folds around the hips and at the back, but the front is still kept fairly plain. While this style is charming for a smart frock it must not he composed of too cumbrous a material. Tailors are ravish- ed with the new box-pleated or kilted skirt, which they mostly put into a plain piece fitted round the hips. Bodices have altered about as much as skirts have. Sleeves may, ere long, render fashion extremely ridiculous. Some of the French models show sleeves of ab- surdly huge proportions from the elbow to the wrist. - It often happens that the early modes of a season are exaggerated, to show the gen- eral tendency of fashion. All the same, it is better to have the sleeves too large than too small, especially in the winter, when rich materials and furs seem to lend the desire. The bodice of to-day is tight-fitting, though elongated and pouched in the front and on the sides to give a long, falling off look, as though hooked on to the waiss. High collars with street gowns are de rigueur; these are mostly of the military order. They do not suit everyone, but many Parisians happily compromise the matter by not having a collar at all,simply substituting an easy neck and showing the fancy collar of the bodice worn under- neath. There is a decided fancy for white this geason everyone is wearing it. White is the only color that is suited to all. Age is no barrier to wearing it; it is a shade that deals kindly with the buman face, intensi- fying the glow and heauty of youth, and never accentuating the signs of age. It bas been called the generous color be- cause it adds only beauty and forgets the lines of time. ‘This is a white season—white for the bodice; white for the matinee; white for the tailored gown; white for the reception gown; white for the debutante, as well as white for the bridal robe. Shirt waists are made of heavy vesting fleece lined, coarse linen, albatross, mohair anything so they are white. Some of the prettiest early winter milli- nery modes are the picture hats in felt and beaver of delicate tones. Trimmings of autumnal leaves, grapes and blackberries promise to vie with the traditional ostrich plumes throughout the season. But a caprice of fashion may discard them in a moment. They aie popular now, however, and greatly en evidence. Muffs are large this season, and rather slightly wadded which causes them to have somewhat of a flat appearance. imposing effect all beautiful women should" The Right to Arrest Supreme Court Hands Down an Opinion in an Interesting Case. The supreme cours is session at Pittsburg on Monday morning handed down twenty opinions. One was especially interesting. It was theappeal of Charles Grether from a decision of the oyer and terminer court of Monroe county. The opinion in the case of Charles Greth- er deals with the right of a private citizen to effect an arrest when officers of the law either fail to do their duty or are prevented from doing so. The opinion says: ‘‘The day before the homicide a felony had been committed in the vicinity. The evidence clearly indicates that the prisoner was one of the culprits, who, though pursued by the officers of the law, had eluded arrest. Strunk, the deceased, having learned where they were, accompanied hy several of his neighbors, started as a private citizen with- out a warrant to arrest them. Coming upon them early in the morning as they were cooking their breakfast, he approach- ed them and laying his hand upon the shoulder of each said, ‘I arrest you.” Hav- ing been asked by the prisoner why he was arrested, the reply was, ‘for breaking into a house at Minsi.’ The prisoner said : ‘We will go with you.” His companion, under pretense of getting ready to accom- pany Strunk, darted into the surrounding bushes and escaped. The almost prisoner simultaneously shot and killed the deceas- ed. At the time of the shooting he was un- der arrest by his victim, who, as a private citizen without a warrant had a right under the circumstances, to arrest him. A felony had been committed, the prisoner and his companion were the perpetrators of it; they had eluded the officers of the law, and the pursuit by the private citizens was fresh, when he made the arrest, notified his prisoner that it was for a felony, that hed been committed by him. The right of a private citizen to make an arrest under such circumstances cannot be doubted. The law clothes him with ample authority and affords him the same protection it will extend toa public officer with a warrant in his bands. The third, fourth and fifth as- signments of error, to which the greater portion of the argument of appellant’s council is devoted, relate to the exhuma- tion and examination of the body of the deceased, alleged to have been unlawful be- cause not conducted by the coroner or un- der his direction. The rights and duties of the coroner were not involved in the ex- amination of the body, which were made at the instance and under tha directions of the district attorney for the purpose of be- ng able to submit to the jury conclusive evidence that a bullet from the pistol of the prisoner had caused the death charged to him. Such evidence it was right as well as the duty of that officer to procure, if it existed, without regard to anything the coroner may have done or omitted to do, and no one of the numerous and inappli- cable authorities cited in support of the assignments sustain them. “‘In dismissing the motion for a new trial the learned judge below said: The court is convinced that the homicide was a cold- blooded, deliberate murder, and the con- science of the court is entirely satisfied that the verdict is a righteous one under the Jaw. The utterance is fully justified. The judgments is affirmed and the record remitted for the purpose of execution. Some Good Recipes. MARSHMALLOWS. Soak four ounces of pulverized gum arabic in a cupful of cold water for two hours. Pat into a double boiler with cold water in the outer vessel, and bring slowly to the boiling point. When the gum is dissolved, strain through coarse muslin, return to the double boiler, with a heaping cupful of powdered sugar, and stir long and steadily until the mixture is stiff and white. Remove from the fire, beat hard for a minute, flavor with vanilla then beat for a minute more and pour into ting, the inside of which have been rubbed with cornstarch. When the paste is cold cut into squares of uniform size, 10ll each* in three parts of cornstarch and one part of powdered sugar mixed, and pack in a tin box. DEvIL'S CAKE. Half a cup of grated chocolate, half a cup of sweet milk, half a cup of brownsagar. Boil these ingredients together until thick as crean and let cool. One cup of brown sugar, half a cap of but- ter, two egys beaten, two-thirds of a cup of milk, vanilla flavoring. Mix well, beat in the boiled mixture and two cups of flour sifted, with a heaping teaspoonful of bak- ing powder. Bake in layers and when cool put together with boiled frosting. ANGEL CAKE. The whites of nine large fresh eggs. When they are partly beaten, add one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar and then finish beating. The cream of tartar makes them lighter. Then add one and a quarter cups of granulated sugar. Stir the sugar very lightly into the whites of the eggs and add a teaspoonful of van- illa. Have flour sifted five times, meas- ure a cupful and fold it in very carefully, not with a ciraular motion, and do not stir long. Turn it into a Turk’s head mold and bake forty-five minutes. Do not grease the mold, and when taken out of the oven invert it until the cake is cool be- fore removing from the pan. Never use a patent egg beater for this cake, but a whip, taking long, rapid strokes, and make it in a large pattern, not a bowl. FupGE. Boil together a cup of milk, one of sugar and one of grated chocolate until a little dropped in cold water hard- ens. Then remove from the fire, add a teaspoonful of vanilla and beat until creamy and granulated. Turn into a greased pan and mark off into squares. Made Things Lively. Coal Cars Bump into a House, ishing it. Completely Demol- A coal train on the New York Central broke in two at Tiadaghton Tuesday night. The cars left the track and smashed into the house of George Cooper, completely demolishing it. Five persons were in the building, but all escaped injury. A boy was in the centre of the room reciting ‘‘The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck’ when the cars struck the house. A gondola was found on top of acradle wherein lay a baby, unhart. Dishes and almost everything breakable in the house were smashed, and by a mirasle the occupants escaped. Not a piece of the front of the house large enough for kindling wood remained. ——How dear to our hearts is the old yellow pumpkins, when orchards are bar- ren of stuffing for pies; when peaches and apples have both been a failure, and berries of no kind have greeted our eyes.
