Demovrai Wada Bellefonte, Pa., January 2, 1903 FARM NOTES. —Oats are a greater producer of milk than corn, when fed to dairy cows. They contain more protein and are not so heat- ing. The cow rarely tires of them and they give a delicious flavor to the milk and an aroma to butter. Users of oats claim there is nothing that can be fed to cows so continuously and with such beneficial re- sults. The question of their use, however, must be regulated by their cost.—G. H. Marsh, in Farm and Home. —There are two most important things to be kept in mind by the fruit raiser—prun- ing and mulching. If these two duties are ‘well performed success is nearly always certain. If well mulched, the fertilizing material is thus supplied by filtration from the mulching down to the feeding roots, which is the very best self regulating meth- od of fertilizing. By allowing this mulch- ing to remain in winter and early spring the roots are kept moist and vegetation prevented from springing up around bushes or a heavy sod from forming. —The age of sheep is very easily shown by an examination of the teeth. A lamb has the first pair of permanent front teeth when about ten months old, the second. pair at about eighteen months, the third pair at twenty eight months, and the fourth at about thirty-three or forty months. When the whole of the permanent front teeth have appeared the sheep is in its fourth year. The Merino matures its teeth later than the other breeds; the Cots- ‘wold and Southdowns and other highly im- proved mutton sheep are some months ahead of a Merino, but at four years every sheep has its full mouth of teeth. Later, the age is known by the appearance of the teeth, which gradually lose their sharp edges and hecome worn down smooth. A healthy sheep will keep its teeth good un- til ten or twelve years old, if the pasture is not unusually bare, and the soil sandy, so as to wear the teeth excessivly. —In order to get the best and quickest results from hogs, begin fattening the pigs as soon as they are born. I raised pure- blooded Poland-Chinas of mediam size,and never attempted to keep more than I could ‘handle well. My brood sows were kept in .a thrifty condition. They were not fat,but are far from being poor. I fed a little whole corn and aslop made of rye meal and milk. When the pigs begin to try to eat (and they will do this when only a few days old) 1 fix a place where they could go and eat ‘by themselves. I first gave them skim- milk and then gradually added rye meal in- creasing the amount as the pig grows. As -8oon as they are large enough to eat it, I add a little corn. but I find that I can make the most rapid growth with rye meal if I ‘have plenty of milk to go with it. If the meal is fed alone, it isin my opinion too concentrated. I raise two litters of pigs each year. They generally average from 275 to 300 pounds at seven mouths old. —The tripod device for setting trees is -all right, but I have used the notched hoard and find it much more simple and less ex- pevsive. I begin by selecting the orchard site. Then plow the ground, harrow and plank it thoroughly. Line off both ways and set a stake where each tree is to be placed. Take a board five to six feet long, five or six inches wide and one inch ‘thick. Notch it having the middle notch exactly half way between the notches on the ends. Place the center notch against the stake where the tree is to be planted, then set a small stake in each of the other notches. When ready for planting, dig. up the cen- ter stake and prepare the hole for the tree. “Then in setting the tree, put the notched board in position with the end nothes op- positie the two other stakes. Set the trees 80 that the trunk will rest in the middle notch. This will insure an absolutely straight row both ways. The device is so simple that it hardly seems nevessary to describe it. Many, however, continue to have crooked rows simply because they ‘have not thought of this plan. —CuRriING PoRK For Home Usk. —After killing and dressing, the hogs should bang until thoroughly cooled. “Operations are usually begun early in the morning and there is ample time to cool before night. There is greater demand for bacon than for salt pork, hence the sides of -all hogs which are not overfat should be converted into bacon. For salt pork, fresh roasts, ete., the hog is first split along the back, the cuts of meat being removed from the loin and shoulder portions, and the belly strips used for bacon. When bacon only is desired, the hams and shoulders are first removed, after which the spare ribs are -cut away. Bacon strips about three inches wide are cat around the body, and these strips cut in two. The hams and shonlders are cat short of the leg joint, well rounded and trimmed. Lean trimmings are made into sausage or head cheese. Choice lard is made from leaf lard and trimmings only, second grade lard «from gus fat, leaf lard and trimmings. The hams, shoulders and bacon are rubbed with -salt and placed on edged in layers in a bar- rel, which should first have a layer of salt -sprinkled over the bottom. For each 100 pounds meat make a pickle of 10 pounds 8alt, 2 pounds brown sugar, 2 ounces salt- peter, 1 ounce red pepper, and from 4 to 4} .gallons water. Pat these ingredients in an iron or tin vessel, place over a fire and boil 10 minutes. Stir while boiling and remove the scum. After the brine has cooled, pour it over ‘the meat and let it remain from five to six weeks, then remove, drain and wipe the pieces, after which they are ready for the smoke, which should last from two to three weeks. Hickory and birch sawdust, chips and pieces produce meat of the best flavor. The smoke should he kept up constantly, but the meat should not hang near enough ‘0 the fire to become heated. The smoke house must be tight, and it is safest to have -a ground floor. The fire should be built in -an iron pan near the middle of the build- ing. If a red hot iron is placed in the pan "and the sawdust and chips placed over this the smudge will be started easily. An oc- -casional piece of green wood adds to the smoke. After smoking, the hams, shoul- -ders and bacon pieces are sewed up in mus- }in bags, which are then whitewashed with lime and hung in a dark, cool place. The salt pork is left in brine until used. It is usuoally salted more than the hams, and should be placed in a separate barrel made from well seasoned oak. A stone is placed over the meat to keep it under the brine. In the spring the meat is removed .and rinsed in clean water and the barrel scalded. The brine is boiled and the im- purities skimmed off. The pork is then pus in the clean barrel and the brine pour- -ed over it. If this precaution is not taken, when warm weather approaches the grease .at the top of the brine will patrify and ‘taint the meat.—F. D. C. Field and Farm. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Japanese lamp shades of low, squatty shape, with lacquered frames and artistic- ally decorated rice paper between, are In high favor. In studying to obtain the effect of space in small rooms it isa good plan to cover the walls of two rooms to match. This gives a greater feeling of space. Mrs. Mary E. Miller, of Lafayette, Col. claims the distinction of being the only woman hank president in the United States. She is at the head of the Lafayette Bank; one of her sons is the vice president, and an- other is cashier, while his wife is assistant cashier. Mrs. Miller haslived at Lafayette since 1863, when sheand her husband ar- rived with an ox team from Iowa, hauling the first thrashing machine brought into the country. Mr. Miller died in 1878. Coal was discovered on her land in 1887, and some of the biggest mines in Northern Colorado are on the property. She mines no coal on her own account. At the last State election Mrs. Miller was the Prohibition candidate for State Treas- urer. She is regarded as one of the best business women in the State, and is always foremost in all temperance and reform movements. The black moire ribbon belt is very smart and well liked already, though it has not been on our shop counters for many weeks. It is four inches broad, heavy and lustrous. The belt almost encircles the waist, but does not quite achieve it, at least, as far as the moire is concerned. Just in front it slopes to a width of two inches, and is met by black silk elastic ends, which strap together in front with a patent adjust- able clasp, which appears to be a simple metal slide, but which has a strong spring concealed which grips the loose end of the elastic. An easy movement pushes back the slide and releases the belt end, but it is not likely to slip open of its own strain. Embroidered and hemstitched silk, linen or canvass cuffs to match the fancy stole collars are the newest. The cuffs also are stoled, some of the tabs running almost to the elbow. A striking set was in pale olive taffeta embroidered and fagoted in pink. A good housekeeper will not waste the starch, leave her spices uncovered, throw away the stale bread, neglect tea and cof- fee pots. Leave the refrigerator lid open. Spill rice and sugar in the handling. Set herserubbing brushes on the bristles to dry. Allow the kettle to boil dry and then fill it with cold water. Stand her brooms on the floor instead of hanging them up. There have been many rumors about shorter skirts for evening gowns, but here, as in every other department of fashion, there are the usual number of variations. Some sort of frilly sleeve, usually elbow length, seems to be a feature this season, but there is the short sleeve, too, if you like and the simple frill of lace falling from a band crossing the arm below the shoulder. Another band extends over the shoulder, the arm showing between. The bands of silk, the top one going over the shoulders, the others falling below with spaces between form a pretty effect. They may be sewn to a chiffon or lace founda- tion, the ends meeting at either side of the armhole. They all fit the arm closely giv- ing the cap effect so much worn. There is some great controversy about sleeves. Some French people are wearing theirs tight and others voluminous all the way down. The Tudor sleeve is making its appearance on velvet models slashed with various kinds of fur and silk. This, in some cases, is becoming, but more often not. Very small letters are now used in em- broidered initials upon fine cambric hand- kerchiefs. Many of us are glad to receive a new set of dainty handkerchiefs, and those of hemstitched lawn are more wel- come by the dozen than a single one of the flimsy and lace edged embroidered squares of lawn. Mrs. Anna M. Eister, a market woman of Lexington, Ky., has died, leaving a for- tune valued at $100,000, all accumulated by the sale of garden truck. She was pon- derous in size, weighing 320 pounds. Nearly every woman walks far too rapid- ly for anything like grace to enter into her movements. A tall woman, for some reason, will walk more slowly than little ones. Her elbows, shoulders and hips move from side to side with every movement of her feet. If you want to be graceful, don’t look at your feet, but hold your head well up in the air. Don’t shuffle. A little thought- fulness and practice in high stepping will soon break you of the ugly habit. Don’t bend back at the waist, under the impres- sion that you are thereby walking erectly. It throws the stomach forward, and 1s al- most as inimical to grace as round shoul- ders. Finally, don’t allow yourself to walk -pigeon toed; that is, with the toes turned in or straight. You can never be graceful in movement while you do so. How often one sees a medley of pictures of all sorts and subjects and colorings, banging upon a gayly papered wall. A wall paper with a large flowering design is often enough decoration in itself if it is ar- tistically arranged and colored, but if peo- ple have pictures they are naturally hound ‘to hang them. Against a wall of soft gray any kind of a good picture looks well. If one can have a choice, therefore, a selection of this kind is always in good taste ; and the home keeper is surprised to see how well even her ordinary pictures look against the mild tone. Photographs of scenes one has visited hold their own interest, but should be placed in the library. Apparently the principal aim in the fash- ions for children’s clothes this season is to have everything very smart and just a trifle conspicuous. Red is again immensely pop- ular, and red frocks, red coats and red hats are worn by the tiny tots as well as their oldersisters. Red coats, long and short, are so effective and becoming that it really does not require an expensive material to have them satisfactory, and no trimming is necessary except the pearl or bone buttons, either plain or fancy, as desired. The smartest coats are cat to hang loose from the shoulders, but not made with any un- vecessary width nor with a yoke, for the idea is to bave a design that is smart from its simple lines and lack of trimming and not from any fancy effects of material. On the most attractive coats not even revers or collar have any facing of velvet or silk only the cloth. Black and red mixed material is also fashionable, either in coats or in the skirt and coat design, but then there must be trimming, black braid or bias bands of red or black cloth, small gilt or silver hat- tons and the general effect of being a rather fanciful style. i Eruptions all from One Cause. This is the Belief of Professor Lawson, of Cal- ifornia University. That the recent terrible eruption of the volcano of Santa Maria, in Guatemala, and the previous death-dealing explosion of Mount Pelee aad Mount Soufriere, in the Wind-ward islands, are in a manner cor- related and due to the same under lying cause is the opinion of Professor Andrew C. Lawson, head of the department of geol- ogy at the University of California. The geologist further says that until the primal cause of the three great holocausts of the year is removed by the natural ac- tion of the earth’s crust more of such up- heavals may be expected. As the results of a geological trip made this summer through the region now un- dergoing such violent commotion Professor Lawson is in a position to speak authori- tatively. He said : “The recent violent volcanic activities which bave been made manifest first at Marinique and St. Vincent, and now on the west coast of Gautemala, are in a gen- eral way correlated in that same weakness of the earth’s crust in the region of all of the volcanoes which has resulted in the eruptions. ‘“‘Scientific and local causes in each in- stance probably disturbed the delicate bal- ance which was already to be affected as the result of the underlying cause affecting all. ‘Volcanoes of such explosive types as are these are due to the sudden giving away of a portion of the earth’s crust which has long been under a strain as the result of the gradual shrinking of the whole sphere. “When this rupture or flexure takes place the rocks heavily charged with water from near the surface of the ground are thrust down into the region of great heat, thus causing a rapid generation of steam and a consequent violent explosion. “The line of weakness along which lie all of these volcanoes gave away first at the spot beneath the Windward Isles, and then at the weak point in the isthmus where rise the lofty ranges of the great connect- ing mountain chain. “Until the earth adapts itself to this ‘fault’ or slip in its crust there will be continuous volcanic disturbances along the line of its fracture.” Nervous Energy. Don’t Overdraw Your Account in Nature. the Bank of You have a deposit of nervous energy placed to your account in the bank of your body. It may be large, in which happy case you are a millionaire in strength and accomplishing power, or it may be so microscopic as to need careful husbanding and little expenditure to keep it from dwindling out altogether. But many millionaires become paupers, and some ‘‘dime savings’’ swell into mil- lions. It depends upon the way the capi- tal is managed. You may think you have so much that there is no need to be economical. You get up in the morning and feel the blood bounding through your veins like mountain cataracts, and you think you can turn the mill wheels of the world. You work day and night. which is some- times more exhausting, and go at the limit of your speed all the time. You are over- drawing your bank account of energy, and that needlessly, for you probably have enough to last a long and useful lifetime. It pays to sit down and sharpen your tools, and it adds per cent to your body bank deposit. Another with not half your brains or bustle will get ahead of you in the end, for he makes every act, every thought, go straight to the mark. He wastes no effort. Everything he does means something. It helps toward some given end. You spend a great deal of ammunition on your quarry because you are overanxious. He keeps cool, takes steady aim and wings his bird. You get wrinkles and frosv tipped tem- ples and become a bankrupt in vitality when you should be in your prime. You have overdrawn the best and most valuna- ble bank account the Lord ever placed on the books of life—the ability *‘to love and to work and to play and to look np at the stars.” Europe’s Richest City. 124,000 People There are 18; Who are Millionaires. In The richest city in Europe and probably in the world, is Basel—or Basle is it used to appear in the school geographies—in Switzerland. The returns published by the tax ad- ministrator show the assessed valuation is more than $175,000,000 and the total pop- ulation is 124,000, an average of more than $1,400 for each man, woman and child in the city. The assessed valuation of Basel equals the total revenue of the 88,000 houses and buildings in Paris. Of the 124,000 inhabitants of Basel, there are 180 who are rated as millionaires. Inasmuch as the amount is reckoned in franks this means that the wealth of these 180 persons exceeds $200,000. There are 175 who bave between $100,000 and $200,000; 170 who have $100,000, and 895 who have from $20,000 to $100,000. Within fifteen years the wealth of Basel |’ has increased $60,000,000, and the popu- lation has almost doubled which is a most remarkable showing for a town that is 1,500 years old. It has always been fa- mous, It was the important stronghold of Helvetias in the eleventh century and Erasnus died theie in the sixteenth cen- tury.— New York World. Lynched Wrong Negro? Kansas Avengers, it is Now Said, Made a Mis take. It is reported that Joseph Godley, a brother of Montgomery Godley, the negro who was lynched by a mob at Pittsburg, Kan., last week, is wounded aud is hiding at Weir City, Kan. Later investigation of the trouble be- tween Policeman Hinkle and the Godley brothers tend to show that Joseph, and not the man who was lynched, fired the shot that killed the policeman. Two other brothers are in jail at Girard charged with being implicated in murder, but Joseph escaped. The mother of the Godleys is said to have asked a physician to treat Joseph for a gunshot wound in the neck. She would not tell the whereabout of her son, and the doctor refused to go with her. 3 Domestic TROUBLES. —It is exceptional to find a family where there are no domes- tic ruptures occasionally, but these can be lessened by having Dr. King’s New Life Pills around.
