Pemarraic atc Bellefonte, Pa., December ,12 1902 FARM NOTES. —The shaping of a tree should be done when it is young. The practice of allow- ing useless limbs to grow, only to be saw- ed or chopped off when the tree is large, is a mistake, as every undesirable limb grown deprives the other limbs of so much food and nourishment. —A gill of crude carbolic acid (which is much cheaper than the refined article), made into an emulsion with half a pint of strong soapsuds and a quart of cold water then added will be sufficient for moisten- ing bushel of sawdust, which may be sprinkled in the stalls as a disinfectant. —Rake up all the debris around the grapevines and burn the leaves and other materials. Scatter air-slaked lime liberal- ly on the ground around the vines. In the spring turn the soil under and use more lime. In this manner the ravages of the rot can be greatly mitigated. —The winter is the time for farmers to meet and discuss matters pertaining to farming. Many good hints, some of them very valuable, may be gained or imparted at such meetings, and no better way of spending the time can be devised if the weather is too severe to permit of other work. —The black knot is the scourge of the cherry and plum, but it can be prevented by vigilance. Cut away any of the limbs that show signs of the disease, and spray the tree with kerosene emulsion or the Bordeaux mixture. The disease will spread to every tree in the orchard if allow- ed to go unchecked. —To make a good firm walkway in the garden, or through the lawn, which will be smooth and dry at all seasons, mix - Portland cement one part and ashes two parts. Make into mortar, spread over the path, and smooth down with a trowel. The bed for mortar should first be well beaten down, and if convenient a layer of gravel be spread over it, with the mortar added next. —Nat growing is profitable, but it re- quires years to bring a nut tree to a stage of growth where it will pay well; hence only young farmers are induced to devote land in thas direction. Walnuts, chestnuts and butternuts will improve with cultiva- tion. In afew years walnut trees will be so scarce that the farmer who has a grove will secure his own price therefor, the tim- ber being exceedingly valuable. —For trees and plants of wundcubted hardiness there are some advantages and no great risks in fall planting. Some kinds, like larch, birch and beech, it is always best to plant in the fall. With evergreens it is different; plant only in the spring, or just after midsummer. After several hard frosts the earlier that fall planting can be done the better; if leaves remain strip them off. Stake securely in windy places and mound up. Never plant a tree or shrub deeper than the collar. — Before the ground freezes the raspberry plants should be laid down and covered with a slight covering of earth, and the strawberry plants should also receivea cov- ering of some coarse material —always re- membering that as this plant is partially an evergreen it must not be covered so deep as to keep the air from the green leaves. ‘Whatever tender plants there may bein the garden that are to be left over winter should be carefully protected before the cold weather comes oun. —This is an excellent time for looking after the garden. As soon as the frost kills the weeds or other growths rake the garden plot over and burn the collected material. Plow to the depth of six inches and spread as much manure over the plot as can be spared. There will he no danger of apply- ing too much. The manure will be ren- dered fine by the frost of the winter, the soluble matter will-be carried down by the | rains, and the garden will be ready suppli- ed with plant food in the spring. — While the udder of the cow should be washed at every milking. to insure perfect cleanliness of milk, yet the cow should be kept where she will be clean. The dairy- man who allows his stalls to be. in. such condition that the sides of the cows become plastered with filth and the udders aud teats smeared with the liquids of the stalls is guilty of neglect. The use of straw for several successive days and nights without change is a mistake. If shredded corn stalks and cut straw are put in the stalls every day, using only fresh material, there will be less labor to perform than when an attempt is made to economize with the use of old material. —Meat should not be allowed to freeze hard before it is salted, if it can be avoid- ed. A small quantity of ground pepper thoroughly mixed with the salt will im- prove the quality of the meat. A board, or shallow hox, or tub, should be used to avoid wasting the salt. hold the piece of meat and with the other rub well. This is important, and many fail to have the meat keep because the salt is not well rubbed in. With hams and shoul- ders the ends should be well rubbed and carefully filled with salt. Then lay them down, either in a box or on shelves, and sprinkle with salt again; let lie ten days or two weeks, or even longer, depending upon the weather. —The question of spreading manure in the fall has heen discussed for many years, and opinions are divided as to whether the spreadiug should be done in the fall or the manure retained in heaps until the spring planting begins. Many farmers believe in using manure in hills, bus the method of using depends upon the quantity of manure on band. If the land is level, and there is no possibility of rains washing the manure from the soil, the work of spreading may be done in the fall where plowing has heen done. The question of when to spread is one that each farmer must determine for himself, as everything depends upon the conditions on the farm. —The two principal troubles with the plum are the black knot and the curcalio. Neither of them need be formidable. The black knot may be prevented or cured by promptly cutting off all on its first appear- ance and burning it. More commonly it is allowed to spread a year or two unohserv- ed, and then it is justly pronounced a very formidable and incurable disease. Taken in time there is much less labor to keep it under than to cultivate the ground. The curculio is readily destroyed by jarring the insects down on stiffened sheets and killing them with the thumb and fingers, or burn- ing them. The jarring is affected by strik- ing with an ax or hammer on iron plugs ineerted in the main branches. It must be continued daily, or twice a day, as long as any inseots are found. If intermitted the remedy will prove a failure. With one hand FOR AND ABOUT WOMKN. Never talk secrets before a child—*‘ little pitchers have long ears’’—if you do, and he repeats what he has heard, as most likely he will, and thus perhaps make mischief, it will be wrong to scold him, you will, for your imprudence, have yourself only to blame® One woman meets another woman on the street and they will stop and gossip about al) sorts of things while the small boy or little girl standing beside them lis- tens to all they say. We should he es- pecially careful in the presence of children of what we say and of whom we speak. Altogether Christmassy, yet absolutely rich and dignified, is a new holly hat in the shape of a toque. In accordance with the prevailing mode. It is thatched with leaves, only these leaves, instead of being of the favorite ivy, violet, oak or grape, are of holly. The rich, glossy quality has been caught exactly, and the foliage is lightly stitched to a wire foundation, which has been draped with green malines in ex- actly the same shade. The holly leaves cover the entire hat and just enough of the gay and lovely berries are introduced to give the natural effect, which is not too colorful. At the left back there’s'a smart bow of velvet ribbon in holly-berry red, and a couple of the loops are drawn part way across the crown. The others. fall over the hair, are tautly knotted close to left back of the bat. Fashion can rarely resist the temptation to juggle with sleeves. Dreadful things she did with us a few years ago. And now she has besieged the lower por- tion of the sleeve. It flows in ruffles three deep, and it hangs in great drooping pufis at the elbow; it is slashed to make room’ for an undersleeve, the intricacies of which are an inspiration for a poet,—a fashion poet. But, seriously, the sleeve is really the distinguishing feature of the present- day gown. There is no use in trying to disguise last season’s garment, unless the sleeve will lend itself to the desired change. The sleeve on the whole is rather an attrac- tive feature for the women with the long. slender arm. The woman with the short, dumpy arm should beware how she adopts inartistic lines. It is significant that the best-gowned women wear the simplest shirt waists. The fabrics are of the best, but the style of the garment is never very ornate,and the most expensive tailors offer models that are com- paratively plain and severe, though perfect in style and finish. The blouse of the sea- son that will be worn with the cloth cos- tume or special skirt to the theater, small dinners, teas and the like, will be as dainty and attractive as it has been during the summer and autumn. Handsome cloth costumes have appeared in more stylish forms than ever, and the shirt waist, in one guise or other, remains a necessary ad- junct to theskirt-and-jacket style in which these tailor-made models are made up. The jacket may be long or short, or loose or tight-fitting, the skirt plain or decorated as fashion demands, but the shirt waist re- mains essentially the same—it differs only in detail between one season and another. A simple but stylish tailor costume, easily copied, has a skirt of sage green cloth, with blouse Eton jacket of green velvet with revers faced with dark mink fur. The jacket has a centre back seam, ‘and the stitched, curved belt heads a short peplum which fastens to the belt and not to the jacket. Turnback cuffs finish the bishop sleeves. - The skirt is laid in invert- ed box pleats all around, with a double box pleat in front, and two at the back. The skirt has the fashionable slot seam finish, and is edged at the hem with five rows of machine stitching. The vest is of tucked silk, briar-stitched in green silk, and fastened with small gold and green enamel buttons. If the face is wide, make the coiffure high and broad. For ornament a bunch ob flowers or a rose tucked among the fluffiness on the crown. sie If the face is long, arrange the bair full over the ears. A flower may be worn back of the ears or a small wreath around the back hair. If the face is broad and the chin heavy, the hair . should be arranged to soften the contour—no straight lines of any sort. Breadth should be given to the top of the head, if possible, by. the arrangement of the tresses, and large flowers may be worn. If the face is round and chubby, brush’ the hair off the forehead, which apparently lengthens the face. Never part the hair in the middle and comb it down on each side. For ornament a wreath of small flowers may be arranged about the back hair, fas- tened at the top with ajperky upright bow. If the forehead is low, the most becom- ing style usually is to part the hair in the middle and wave it each side with ‘a half low coil at the back. Maxine Elliot af- fects this style, so does Lady Curzon. Ornaments may be arranged in diadem ef- feot over the brow. . " Among the designs for fall and winter bridal gowns there are many in princess form. For short, rather stout women, this style of dress is a ‘boon; for the former wrapper-like effect is now wholly elimi- nated. Even when a costume made with a skirt and jacket is perfect of its kind, dividing the skirt and coat bas a tendency to shorten and broaden the effect. © No in- experienced dressmaker, however, can possibly make a success of a gown of this kind. All the pretty accessories are added to these gowns—the fancy blouse fronts, boleros, picturesque sleeves, collars, vests, ete. . Smart street gloves are fastened with a single large pearl button. The stitching ‘on many of the women’s gloves is finished without the spear point, the lower end of the stitching on the backs being the same as the upper. No particularly new decoration will characterize the gowns of fall and winter. Indeed, the trimmer’s art has about reached the exhaustion point. Lace, smocking, embroidery and luxeil will pe largely em- ployed on gowns de luxe, while tailor gowns seem to be returning to their former elegance and severity. Gun metal sleeve links are in evidence this season. They certainly make smait and highly acceptahle Christmas gifts. The oval shape is the most popular, hut searce- ly so noval as the square, which are more difficult to insert in a highly-starched cuff. Some pretty links show sparkles of brilliant jet or of pale green jade embedded in the metal. Yourgrowing hoy breaks or loses 80 many of his own links and those of the family’s poesession; so if you find a pair of extra strong aud serviceable gun metal sleeve links, it is well to remember that Christmas is approaching, and here is an easy and appropriate way of giving the lad a gift. ; A Few Hints for Men. A neat little booklet, just issued by Montgomery & Co., haber-dashers of Belle- fonte, touches on a point that should inter- est most men, especially at a point when few of them seem to center much atten- tion. 'Theselection of the cravat, how to wear it and when to wear it, is a matter which many men daily proclaim their utter ignorance, yet the display of just a little taste and thought might add so much to their appearance that we publish the advice given in Montgomery’s brochure with the hope that it will he helpful. It is impossible to lay down any set of fixed rales that will always govern in the selectien of the cravat. A few general principles, however, may be suggested here that will prove helpfal. Four points are always to be considered in this connection, namely : complexion, clothes, occasion, and season of the year. Two others also are sometimes to be reck- oned with : age and vocation. Men should distinguish carefully be- tween what is individually becoming and what is mere passing fashion. Vast num- bers of cravats of scarlet, bright blues, tan, and grey are bought without regard to their becomingness, merely because they happen to be the mode of the moment. Certain extremes of neck dress may be indulged in by the man whose wardrobe is large and adapted to all occasions. The average man, however, would ‘ better stick to the color combinations that are backed by the unchanging canons of good taste. Such are plain black and some of the shades of plain colors, such as indigo, bottle green, garnet, and suede; also black with white figure or stripe, indigo with white, black with scarlet, and kindred safe color com- binations. These same subdued tones of color should prevail in the cravat when there is color in the clothing, shirt, com- plexion, or hair of the wearer. Again; men of light complexion may favor the blues and greens, while those of darker type may lean towards the warmer shades, such as erimson, garnet, and black with scarlet. Usually with a striped shirt a figured or plain cravat affords the hest complement; and, per contra, with a figured shirt a striped cravat is effective. In cravats, as in everything else, the highest order of good taste is most often satisfied with a quiet scheme of color and pattern, coupled with richness of quality, rather than that which is bizarre. Don’t ever wear a “‘made-up’’ cravat of any kind. Don’t stick a pin in a cravat for display only. Altho’ cravat pinsshould be decora- tive they should invariably serve the use- ful purpose of holding the folds of the cravat in place.’ Don’t wear an ornamented spiral stud in a cravat. a Don’t wear a black tie with evening dress. Don’t. wear a white tie with a dinner jacket. Don’t wear a bow with a frock coat. Don’t wear a white silk cravat with a business suit. Don’t wear a tie so high on a fold collar that the collar button will be visible. Don’t wear a cravat designed for a special occasion at an’ inappropriate time. (For example, an outing stock with a frock coat or a white full-dress tie with a business suit. ) Don’t call every form of cravat a ‘‘neck- tie.”” Speaking generally, say cravat; specifically, say ascot, four-in-hand, etc., ete.’ Don’t speak of ‘‘gent’s neckwear.”” Cut out of your vocabulary '‘‘gents,”” ‘‘neck- ties,”” and ‘‘pants.”’ Why Women Have Nerves. Nerves belong particularly to those wom- en who .lead what might be called a strenuous life. Not so many women are afflicted who are living out their existence in a more humdrum fashion. Especially are nerves found among women who are employed in a business capacity. To be- gin with the majority are criminally care- less. ’ Women have been known to attempt and-—more than that— to accomplish a hard day’s work in an office on a cup of coffee and a roll for breakfast, and tea and toast or a cup of chocolate ‘and a bowl of milk for luncheon. Frequently you have seen a party of girls making their luncheon on ice cream soda. They probably saved their lunch money for ribbons and frills, but they expended ten times their value in vi- tality. Sila : It a man tried liviog on that plan he would soon collapse: physically, but there is no immediate danger of such a catas- trophe, since men care more for their meals than do women. Another reason for a woman’s prominent characteristics is that she never shields her. nerves. They are allowed to become too sensitive. If she misses a train she does not sit calmly and wait for the next one, as she might as well do, but she sits on the edge of the seat, taps her foot on the floor and is continually on the alert for the man with the big voice to announce that her coach is ready for occupancy. Then she will hurry as fast as ever she can for fear she will not be able to get a seat. She will contract her eyebrows, bite her lips and clinch her fingers and, perhaps, talk excitedly to herself all the time she is hurrying to the entrance gate, all the time using up her nervous energy instead of storing it up for a time when she may really be in need of it. Then, when the time of need does come she is all worn out, and is ready toery with vexation at the slightest thing that goes wrong. How few women we see now that have that sweet placidity of countenance that is in their grandmother's pictures. Our manner is stamping itself upon our faces as surely as upon our constitutions, and many, many times it ig just because we do not keep our stomachs properly filled with whol esome food and plenty of it. A girl bad much better throw away her pride and take a good home lunch to her work in a basket than to depend upon such nerve destroying elements as ice cream sodas for her daily strength. Fell Dead Beside a Corpse. At Williamsport Friday evening, while Miss May Alva Miller was viewing the re- mains of Captain Edward Fitzpatrick, she fell dead to the floor. A physician stated that death was due to paralysis of the heart caused by shock. Miss Miller was horn in 1865. and was the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Miller, a widow. More Men Will go to Oak Grove.
