Dem Wald Bellefonte, Pa., December 5, 1902 sma FARM NOTES. —To keep smoked hams and shoulders free frem skippers after smoking, put them in flour sacks and tie tightly. Take a tub of thick lime whitewash and dip sacks con- taining meat into it. Saturate them thor- oughly and bang up at once. No bugs will be seen, provided the work is done before they get on the meat. —Lime is not a commercial fertilizer in the strict sense, but an indirect fertilizer, which our farmers ought to be familiar with and use. Our farmers use lime about once in five years. They use it for two reasons—first, because they want it to act upon she insoluble plant food and make it available, and in the second place it is good for sour land, land that has been farmed a good while and an acid has developed. Ten or twenty bushels of lime per acre will neutralize the acid. Some- times clover does not grow well, and farm- ers say it probably needs lime. —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, be- ing flexible and soft, yet stiff enough for the purpose. Hogs are better for the orchard than cows. A little caution saves trouble and expense in many instances. — Ohio Farmer. —To keep cider sweet it should be made of good apples, as late as possible, be care- fully strained to remove all pomace, etc., allowed to settle for a day or two and then barreled and kept as cool as possible, giv- ing no more vent than is necessary, says a New England Homestead writer. As soon as the first fermentation is over bung tight- ly. Keep cool and expose to the air as lit- tle as possible. Cider can be kept perfect- ly sweet by scalding and skimming and bottling and sealing tightly while hot. The keeping of cider with preservatives and antiseptics is another matter and di- rections should be obtained from the manu- facturers. The conditions for making vinegar of cider are the opposite of those for keeping the cider sweet. Heat and exposure to the air are what produce the change from sour cider to vinegar. Put the cider into bar- rels. Those which have been used for vinegar before are preferable. Fill them about two-thirds fall and put in a warm place, with a temperature of 80 to 90 de- grees. Leave ont the bung eo the air can get in. A piece of mosquito netting can be placed over the bung-hole. A low shed is a good place in summer, and near the furnace in winter. —Lettuce has become recognized more as a fall, winter and spring crop than a summer, and it is extensively used because of its appearance in the market when most other vegetables are out of season. The south, east and west are engaged in raising lettuce, and it is supplied to the markets from early fall to late spring. There is, indeed, no hetter paying crop if one can supply fresh, tender lettuce at a season when the market is not glutted, but lettuce must be tender and not coarse. It is nec- essary thas it should grow rapidly from the start. Slow growth makes the leaves coarse and unpalatable. This can best be accom- plished by raising the seed in hoxes or cold frames and then by transplanting later to a highly enriched open garden. In the fall, of course, it must be raised almost entire- ly under glass frames, but as the crop isa quick grower this can be done until very late in the season. It is even possible to raise lettuce in winter under glass where sheltering buildings keep out the extreme cold. Seeds of new lettuce can be started in boxes as early as February, and with a little care the crop can be transplanted to frames as early as March. A crop raised at that time and shipped early brings in a large price. The soil in the frames should be made of a compost prepared the summer before of rotted sods, sand and manure. This should be turned over many times during the summer, and then, when per- fectly fine, it is ready for the beds. —Now is the time to be acquiring any information that may be useful in ‘‘hog killing”! time. The following directions are therefore reproduced from the Farm Journal, which believes them to be ‘‘the best rules for curing pork :’ Hams and shoulders should be cured as soon as possible after the meat is cold all through. Place them on a board or table in auy cold place skin side down. Make a mixture in this proportion : For every hundred pounds of meat take four pounds of the best fine salt, two ounces of powder- ed saltpeter and four ounces of brown sugar. Rub this well into the hams all over and push some into the hock -end around the bone. Rub until they will take no more; let them lie on the board and in a week rub in the rest. Let them lie for about sixteen days altogether; then hang them up by a string through the hock in a cool, dark emokehouse. SMOKING AND WRAPPING. Keep up a good smoke from hickory chips smothered with sawdust during the day for two or three days. Keep in a cool place and before spring examine to see that no insects have deposited eggs. Dust a little cayenne pepper around the bone, wrap closely in brown paper, then with coarse muslin to fit the ham exactly and stitch tightly. Give a coat of whitewash or of chrome yellow and hang ina cool, dark, dry place. CURING IN PICKLE. For curing them in pickle, which some prefer, though we do not, to a gallon of water take a pound and a-half of salt, half a pound of sugar and half an ounce each of saltpeter-and potash. In this ratio the pickle can be increased to enough to cover any amount of pork. Boil together until all dirt rises to the top and is skimmed off. When cold, pour it over the hams or pork, which may be pickled in this way. The meat must be well covered by it and should not be put down for at least two days after killing, daring which time it should be slightly sprinkled with saltpeter, which re- moves all the surface blood, leaving the meat fresh and clean. Repair Your Sidewalks, A verdict of $2,800 has just been given against the borough of Pottsville in a dam- age suit caused by a defective pavement. The plaintiff was a woman who sustained injuries by a fall, and at the last meeting of council the city attorney was ordered to inssitute a suit against the owner of the property on whose sidewalk the injury oc- curred, to recover the judgment, costs and expenses. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. It is said that Persian women have com- plexions whose bloom and velvety softness are simply wonderful. They use no cream or ointment for their faces, however, but instead apply to their skin, half an hour before their daily bath, a coating of white of egz. When this is completely dried it is sponged off with tepid water,to which has been added a little simple tincture of benzoin to make it milky, and then the skin is finally sponged over with cold milk. The white of an egg is said to cleanse the skin and remove all impurities from the complexion, leaving it smooth and soft as a child’s. The benzoin makes the skin firm and smooth, and the milk softens its bloom. An exceedingly pale pearl gray bas ap- peared lately in satin coat linings as a rival to the universal white. Undoubtedly the tendency this season is more and more toward the French fussy style of tailor-made gown. Long dangling tassels and pendants in passementerie are extremely fashionable for trimming the fronts of coats or placed at the ends of stoles. No dress or coat seems complete now without some of these dangling trimmings. Cashmere or Persian designs are very popular for waist belts at present. Bottle-fed babies take three times as much care as others. : The box back has evidently come to stay —every new shipment re-enforces it. Sleeves grow wider and wider at the bhot- tom, and the kimono style is more and more pronounced. Old-fashioned milk-white china with gilt bands is again a fashionable rival with the most popular decorative potteries. These are to be had in sets from a dozen to 300 pieces. The careful housekeeper should see to it that her maid does not use soda in any form in she water in which she washes it. Soda is cleansing, hut it takes off the gilding, and china of this sort is best washed in hot soap suds. The red-haired beauty who knows how to dress wears a suit of brown—not the dark bright brown worn by golden-haired women, but a soft, light shade that brings out the sun and bronze in the hair and softens the red tones. Her fars harmonize with this shade. They are dark mink, sable or brown fox. Her hat is green, a close-fitting toque that presses close to her bair all round. Itis made of leaves and grapes—all in shades of green. Another hat that is most hecoming has a flat crown of interlaced gold braid. The brim is form- ed of balf a dozen layers of white chiffon and is faced with white panne. ‘A rather pretty eccentricity is a hat of white tulle spangled with gold nail heads with a twisted band of gold braid around the crown. Kerosene will make a zinc bathtub leok equal to new. After applying the kerosene the tub should be well washed with hot soapsuds. Cleansing cream made after the following recipe is highly recommended for general use in the household. It will remove grease spots from coats, carpets or any woolen texture, paint from furniture and ink from paint. This cream will keep an indefinite period : Cut four ounces of white castile soap very fine and put it over the fire in a quart of hot water to dissolve. As soon as it is thoroughly melted add four quarts of hot water and when nearly cold stir in four ounces of ammonia, two ounces of alcohol, two ounces of glycerin and two ounces of ether. y The large collar seems to reign supreme. Nothing seems somplete without it, and certainly it sets off any face and figure. A last winter’s coat was made entirely a la mode by the addition of one recently. As to cut, the long beige coat was in style,but the small cuffs and insignificant collar de- stroyed the whole. It was carried to a mantua maker, and, voila! was returned an out and out new garment. A large flat collar almost entirely cover- ing the shoulders had been added. White satin had been used, and over it was laid coarse Russian lace. The sleeves were pushed up to the elbow so that they would bag, and a long gauntlet of the lace and satin ornamented with two military but- tons finished off a modish and beautiful sleeve. Brown lineh is among the latest fads for hangings and is really quite effective. These novel new hangings have interlet- tings of heavy Cluny lace and rows of hand hemstitching. The contrast of the white lace and dark linen is quite striking. This style of hanging is used oftenest in dining rooms or bedrooms. A handsome costume of blue camel’s bair, showing threads of green, is made with a skirt thatis side pleated from the front seams to the back, where the pleats meet and form a box pleas, and a 26-inch jacket that suggests the idea, with its pleats that run over the shoulders and extend down both front and back. Otherwise the coat it snug and belted atthe back aud under the arms, byt is loose at the front and finished with a vest of heavy string colored lace. With this the sleeves are the big bishop ones, but many bell shapes are seen. The day of freak belts is passing, but buckles this season will be perhaps even larger and more elaborate than heretofore. Leather belts of fine green walrus, lined with gray ooze calf, with square flat har- ness buckles, giving a pronounced dip front effect, are especially attractive for street wear. Bat the fabric belt will hold first place for the coming season. These are in all'shades of green, of course also red and white plaid taffeta. Buckles are now used both front and back, the two constituting a “‘waist set.”’ What the dumpy woman should not wear is very much more important to her than what she should wear, for finding what is becoming is a comfort in itself, since it can be worn without danger at any time. While what a dampy woman can- not wear is a matter of almost cndless an- noyance, since "having an unbecoming gown on hand the economical woman naturally feels it an extravagance to throw the garment away, and yet she feels un- comfortable every time she wears it. Two of the prevailing styles which the woman of this diminutive fignre must avoid are the shoulder cape, which makes for width, and the ultra wide and fussy sleeve, which bas the same unfortunate tendency. Hang- ing draperies from the hat tend at once to shorten the neck, an effect which is aggra- vated beyond ail pardon by the addition of a tulle bow, worn either. at the back or the front of the neck.

What's the use of being so polite all the time ?”’ ‘My boy,’’ the father answered, ‘‘it is not on account of a mere rule of etiquette that I tell you to uncross your legs; but it is because leg-crossing is an injurious thing —a thing as baleful to the health as kissing or as microbes. ‘‘When you cross your legs you fit the kneecap of the upper limb into the cavity under the knee of the lower one. In the cavity that you thus compress there are the two important exterior and interior popli- teal nerves and a number of glands and blood vessels. Compression does not act well on these organs. It benumbs them and weakens and emaciates them. You fell the injury in a numbness of the whole leg—the leg goes to sleep. ‘*Keep on with the habit, and your legs weaken. They become thin. They lose their shapeliness. It is only such men and women and children as never cross their legs who have strong and supple and beautifal limbs. Reading Dines on Wild Geese. Another flock of wild geese, probably 300 in all, passed over Reading Wednes- day of last week. They flew in a southern direction and soared so high that it was impossible to capture any of them. The three flocks that passed over the night be- fore brought happiness to many families who were unable to buy a turkey for Thavksgiving Day. The next morning thirty-seven geese were found in the vicin- ity of the Reading Cotten mill plant. Some were disabled while a few were dead. The sheets of flame issning from the Read- ing Iron Company’s furnaces blinded them, and as they were flying low, they became confused and struck the cotton mills. Harry Althouse, a farmer of St. Law- rence, said that over fifty of the wild geese were found lying in the fields in the vicin- ity of his home having become entangled in trees and disabled. Nearly the entire population of Jacksonwald ate wild geese for dinner. Elias Hart, the veteran goose bone prophet, says that the presence of the birds indicates that cold weather will follow.
