Bellefonte, Pa., November 28, 1902 —————— ——————— IS ER Ws. FARM NOTES, —There are not many farmers who would be willing to spread 40 or 50 loads of stable manure over the apple orchard ; yet if they would do so they would find out that ap- ples are profitable, as the manure would in- crease the yield, improve the quality and make them more salable in the market. If the manure is not obtainable a fertilizer consisting of 400 pounds of bone meal, 300 pounds sulphate of potash and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda will not he too large an application for one acre. —Late cabbage laid in shallow trenches roots up will keep well if not placed too close together in the trench. Diga trench about 8 or 10 inches deep and 2} or 3 feet wide, putting some cross pieces of wood in the bottom of the trench for some odd and end boards to rest upon, making a rough kind of platform, leaving a space of two or three inches beneath. A little straw is spread over the boards and the cabbages are packed in head down in two layers, the up- per layer being placed between the angles formed by the cabbages of the lower one. A coping is placed over to keep them dry .and attention paid that they do not get frozen.—Cor. American Gardening. —A good practical farm gate is one of the handiest conveniences a farmer can have on his farm to save time and unnecessary dabor. Its usefulness will pay for all time and expense of constructing it and the worth adds a good percentage to the valua- tion of a farm. As a general rule, farmers overlook the simple conveniences about their farms, while in reality such things would ‘increase greatly the appearance of their property. In making a gate of any kind see that it is’ wide enough to admit all kinds of ma- chinery. In constructing a gate use two eight inch boards and one 12 inch, to make the main strips, each strip being four inches wide, except the bottom board, for this use .an eight meh piece, to add strength to the gate. For cleats use the same four inch stuff, nailing one on each side of the gate. “The main piece on which the gate rests is four by four, extending about four feet above the top of the gate. Mortise the strip into the four by four to hold the gate when swinging. The gate will swing either way which is a strong point in favor of this kind of a hanger.—Leo C. Reynclds, in Ohio Farmer. - —Some New Ideas in Raising Cattle. —Exercise promotes heart action, lang ac- tion, more perfect aeration and circulation of the blood ; develops vigor, promotes the more perfect functions of all the bodily or- gans. The general result to our domestic animals of these nataral requirements are health, vigor, strength, all favoring in- crease and perfection of the special products of the different species of our domestic ani- mals. Compare the beef of the stall fed steer at two or three years of age with that of the animal increased by exercise in the rolling pasture, or under the humane yoke, or bet- ter suited harness of the active and vigor- ous Devon, even at seven years old. Fed on beef of the latter, the soldier can march more miles, the sailor can endure more fati- gue and longer vigil, the athlete performs greater feats of strength and marvels of agility, the honest and willing miner can produce more coal, the woodsman can easi- ly put up bis two and a half cords of wood daily. These are positive assertions. There- fore, experience and scientific proof are here furnished. The present high prices of meat, here and in Earope, have caused thoughtful breeders and feeders of meat animals to seek and practice the best methods’ of meat produc- tion of the best quality. The French, who have had large experi- ence with the shorthorn cross for early pro- daction of heef, now improve their own more slowly maturing cattle by selection and by moderate labor up to full maturity. They have thus improved their beef stock, by longer and better feeding during persist ent activity under the yoke or in harness, of their specially good meat cattle. The result has been that more tons of beef have been producted by a smaller number of ani- mals than under the former hurry system of the slaughter of younger animals. They maintain that animals reared up to the age of five or six years with good food and healthy exercise will make better meat than those got up at two years old to the weight of a full grown animal. Whoever has watched the young fat stock at the fairs and at the abattoirs must have seen the crippled gait of those young beef cattle as they limped and hobble along from sheer overweight of fat; for muscles well developed. by proper exercise they do not have, and these muscles form the lean meat of all heef stock. I have no doubt that if these young cattle were worked like the French beef cattle, after generations of | breeding and training they, too, would pro- duce good beef. The learned English expert, Dr. Chal- mers, in bis valuable manual of diet, makes the following pertinent statement : ‘‘What is the worth of this hypertrophied muscle and adipose tissue ? Breeders, if they give a thought to the subject, must be conscious that the heart and arteries do not grow at the same morbid pace with the rest of the body, and the animal, imperfectly supplied with blood, is in a state of extreme anae- mia. Premature development of size and puberty are, on the breeder’s side, a virtue, both in those destined for the butcher and those he selects as hreeders. It is a saving of time, and time is money. but saving is not always the best economy. I fear that our agricultural societies are not free from blame of this, inducing competition in bulk by their system of prizes, and I do not see how they can counteract the evil that has been wrought, unless by instituting re- wards for prime joints, to be adjudged at the table as well as in the larder.” : «+ The French are experts in economy. They gently work many pairs of steers to do the work of a few mature oxen, thus paying for their keeping up to maturity, when they feed and fatten them for the meat market. } As I shall bave frequent occasion to write of the essential value of exercise, I shall at present further quote from expert authoii- ty, to which authority I shall farther give due credit. “The locomotive organs were given for and probably perfected by activity, and ex- ercise is necessary to maintain their strength and perfection. So of the lungs in all lo- comotive animals; their size and power, and the quantity and purity of thé blood, are a consequence of and nearly proportioned to activity. So there can not be full, vigor- ous health or good handling qualities in cattle unless they are permitted or compell- ed to take atleast a moderate extent of exercise daily in pure air and comfortable surroundings.””—Dr. A. 8. Heath. FOR AND ABOUT WOMKN. “A fresh mind keeps the body fresh. Take in the ideas of the day, drain off those of yes- terday; as to the morrow, time enough to con- sider it when it becomes today.” —Bulwer. In furnishing a small room two necessary points must be considered; first, that space is gained by making things as flat as possi- ble against the wall; and second, the stiff- ness is prevented then by introducing plants and breaking the lines by pulling out a table a little or turning a chair. A low seat sixteen inches ig height running around a corner and along one side of the room to some break of door or window saves space and furniture, and adds a charming effect. It should be upholstered, and have only an occasional rather small and carefully selected pillow. Low book- shelves, too, built against the wall furnish without furniture, but care must be taken that they are not extended in too continu- ous a straight line. A carpet of a solid col- or greatly increases the effect of space. The idea that a dining room should be treated in a somewhat heavy and subdued style dies hard. Thus itis that a white and yellow dining room is still something of a novelty. When the windows open on a green and shady prospect the effect of the yellow dining room is really quite enchant- ing. An apartment of this g@ecription in a most charming cottage has the walls panel- ed to within seven inches of the tops of the doors, and all the woodwork is painted ivory white. Above the paneling is a sten- ciled frieze in shades of daffodil, orange and chestnut. The rug is in shades of brown and dull, soft blues. The tiled fireplace is in yellow- ish brown. The chair seats are of chestnut brown leather. The window hangings are of daffodil yellow and white. Speaking of dining rooms, lovely old sil- ver lamps are to be seen in the antique de- partment of some of the big shops. These lamps are adapted for electric lights, and are suspended by silver chains above the dinner table.—The House Beautiful. The pouching of a lady’s waist has as- sumed anew aspect. The middle of the back of the waist is now cut somewhat longer than the tight fitting lining and is pulled down so it will sag below the actual belt line. We are all familiar with the look of a modern blouse which pouches in front, but the same blousing applied to the back is decidedly new. This fashioning is becoming to thin girls because it gives more fulness to the garment. It is also supposed to lend a more graceful outline to the short waisted and stout women. The flat back either plain, or trimmed with flat bands or cords, is more becoming as a rule, than the new pouched blouse back. The soft woolen textures prepared for au- tumn and winter wear are specially adapt ed for pleated skirts, and these are quite popular, while they are varied in style, some having pleats only at the back and others being pleated all round into a plain yoke. On a few skirts the pleats are stitch- ed in grouped lines, or box pleats are stitched each side,quite at the edge. Gored skirts, with the seams strapped, or trim- med at the foot with shaped straps or tabs of velvet, are fashionable and also very graceful, as the unbroken lines give height to the wearer. The new woolens are in sub- dued and broken tints, the solid colorings being used in silk and velvet for trimmings. An excellent camphorated tooth powder for beautifying and preserving the teeth and which will not injure the enamel can be made as follows : Take 7 drs. of precipi- tated chalk, % dr. of powdered camphor, and 1 dr. of powdered orris root and mix thoroughly. To keep the teeth in the best condition a tooth powder alone is not sufficient, a den- trifrice used once in awhile in connection with the powder is pleasant and bas a very beneficial effect upon the gums. To make this. take 2 ozs. of borax, a quart of hot water, and one teaspoonful each of tincture of myrrh and spirits of camphor. Dissolve the borax in the hot water, and when the water is cool add the other ingredients and bottle the mixture for use. A few drops in a little water form a delightful tooth wash. To renew old bedsteads, bureaus, tables or washstands, polish with two ounces of olive oil. two ounces of vinegar and one teaspoonful of gum arabic. There is no denying that the collarless bodice 1s far more stylish than one made up close to the neckband. Bunt the present mode demands a gown slightly cut out about the throat or at least without a col- Jar. The neckband must be separate and attached to the chemisette, even if the lat- ter be shallow. The chemisette can be of fine gathered chiffon or pale colored silk and so is much more becoming than the masculine stiffness of a tailor made waist which is finished by a stock collar of the heavy zibeline or dress cloth. The better plan seems to be to arrange with your dressmaker that the chemisette and neckband shall match the undersleeve or elbow puff. Then the empiecements of the gown may be en suite. Jaunty in every particular is the tailor made girl of this autumn. From the top of her beaver hat to the sole of her thick shoes she is a ereature to be admired.
