Em Benrall ata Bellefonte, Pa., January 9, 1903 FARM NOTES. —TFor embellishing lawns and half-shady corners nothing exceeds the hydrangea grandiflora. It gives a mass of beautiful large bunches of flowers, and is always at- tractive. — An excellent combination of grass seeds for a meadow is two bushels of orchard grass, two of meadow fescue, balf-bushel Kentucky blue grass, half-bushel meadow foxtail, adding half-bushel of red top if the soil is moist. Tne above is for one acre. The seed is costly, but it will pay, as sush a combination will afford a succession of food during the entire summer. Do not grow any other crop on the land but the grass. —If young trees are received from the nurseryman be careful and not expose the roots to the action of dry winds. As many insects and diseases may be distributed from nurseries, all trees should be very carefully examined, no matter how young they may be. When setting them out prepare the land well, and give the roots plenty of room. Use no manure, but place the top soil next the roots. Shorten back the tops, so as to be able to shape the trees in the future, aud also for the purpose of providing more nourishment at the start. —There is nothing so repulsive as a wet and filthy barnyard, in which the animals are compelled to walk knee-deep in filth. Such a condition is not necessary, and can be prevented if the barnyard is kept well supplied with absorbent material. Throw- ing whole cornstalks into the barnyard is the old method, but cornstalks do not absorb until they are trampled to pieces, and in the meantime much of the liquids are carried off by the rains. It will pay to shred the cornstalks, or cut the straw for bedding, while leaves and dry earth may also be used in the barnyard with advan- tage. —Foot and mouth disease among cattle has recently been giving much trouble to farmers in Massachusetts and other ‘parts of New England. This disease is a very contagious malady peculiar to ruminating animals (cattle, sheep, goats, deer), and swine. It is characterized by the eruption of vesicules or blisters in the mouth, upon the heels or between the toes, and upon the teats or udder. The appetite is de- pressed, the milk flow diminishes, the ani- mal loses condition and becomes lame. After a day or two the vesicules break, peel off and leave a raw surface that may heal in a few days, or, especially upon the feet and teats, they may remain sore for a long time and lead to serious complications. It is not very fatal, but it runs through the herd and inflicts permanent damage, ren- dering them unfit for the dairy or the beef markets. —A horse will leave musty hay untouch- ed in his bin, however hungry. He will not drink of water objectionable to his questioning sniff or from a bucket which some odor makes offensive, however thirsty. His intelligent nostril will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered hy the fairest of hands, with coaxings that would make a mortal shut his eyes and swallow a mouthful at a galp. A mare is never satisfied by either sight or whinny that her colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal proof of the fact. A blind horse, now living, will not allow the approach of any stranger within showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The distinction is evidently made by his sense of smell and at a considerable dis- tance. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding fence. The sense of smell informs them of its proximity. Others will, when loosened from the stable, go direct to the gate or bars opened to their accustomed feeding grounds and when de- siring to return, after hours of careless wandering, will distinguish ove outlet and patiently await its opening. —St.; James Ga- zelte. —Just as soon as possible plow up the ground and turn up the cut worms for the frost to kill. This is the only way to kill them. If the earth becomes warm run in the plow, let the earth freeze and the work is done. The sooner the ground is plowed the better, for a few weeks more will be the beginning of warmer weather, and if the plowing is deferred too long the cut- worm is safe. It delights in a cold loca- tion, but cannot endure the thawing and freezing when he is brought to the surface. Catworms infest old sod land more than any other, and the labor of exposing them is a small matter compared to the damage they do crops, especially corn, when plant- ed on sod. Very often these pests compel the entire resetting of sweet potatoes, early cabbage and other vegetables, and the «damage they annually do may be estimated far in the thousands of dollars. Salt will not kill them, fowls will not eat them, and there is no way of effectually getting rid of them except by frost. They are per- sistent, and give continually more or less annoyance as long as they remain. A vigorous warfare should be waged against chem by every farmer. Killed by Tree. She Had Felled. In an attempt to secure fuel to prevent her crippled husband and four small chil- dren suffering from the cold, Mrs. John Carnaky, of Torrington, Conn., on Thurs- day went into the woods in the rear of her home and began to fell a tree. She bad wielded her ax for the last time, and was endeavoriug to escape from the falling tree when she was struck in the back of the head and instantly killed. Value ot Quail. Every flock of quail is worth a dollar a head to the man upon whose farm the bird lives, just as weed seed eaters and insect distroyers, and yet there is no live thing on the farm which is so difficult to protect as these same little friends of the farmer. They bave more than their share of natural enemies—cats, owls, hawks, skunks — but worst of all the pot hun- ter. Both Green, Mrs. Howso—Did the butcher send the lobsters ? Bridget-—He did, mam, but I sent thim back. They wuzn’t ripe. Is Getting There. Briggs—Well, the next thing J. Pier- pont Morgan will own the solar system. Griggs—Why, he already controls the Sun. FOR AND ABOUT WOMKN. To the uninitiated there may seem noth- ing new in the various knottings of soft satiny ribhons displayed in such abun- dance. It’s simply kink upon kink, each color prettier than the other, and all the hundred and one forms massed into a kaledoscopic mix-up of ribbony prettiness. There are novelties, however, A charming twist is noticed for the hair. As for the twist for the hair, it is a sort of half wreath with a knot of ribben at each end, which hangs down behind the ears, somewhere between them and the soft knot of hair at the back. I rests on the head rather far front, and is composed of a twist of rosebud pink, with six tiny zlusters of buds done in the ribbon, This is altogether charming and graceful, and if properly adjusted is quite on classic lines. Purely Colonial furnishings are in best style with a room the woodwork of which is done in white enamel. An occasional piece of Chippendale, however, or, in a re- ception room, some slender-legged mahog- any or Vernis-Martin pieces are quite per- missible. With a reception room of this kind Oriental rugs are frequently used, but preferably of the lighter kinds, both in weight and tint. A cashmere or a Sa- marcand is a good choice. As the season grows older it becomes more evident that this is an era of trim- mings, braids, tassels, sequins, buttons, folds, bias bands, embroidery and laces. Madam in Mode prophesies most confi- dently that the full skirts is the coming model. Bunchy or fluffy neckwear is quite passe: flatness alone prevails. The low coiffure is the smartest for the street, to accommo- date the flat, drooping hats so popular now. The really smart tailor walking skirt has never a circular flounce as a foot finish. Collars are omitted on many gowns and wraps to suit the prevailing craze for flat neck effects, narrow bands of embroidery being substituted. How much we give up to ‘‘the care of things,’’ we women. Some women mus be looked at with compassion when we see how they miss the real pleasure and fresh- ness and activity of life through guarding their possessions, their ornaments, their houses, their carpets and curtains, their jewelry and silver. A broken ornament to such women is a tragedy. It is as hard for them to bear as the broken dolly’s head to baby. The woman who understands liv- ing has no patience with them. Is it a wonder they grow careworn and haggard ? It would really be more worth while to think of their good looks, not to speak of their happiness. Domestic vir- tues are all very well. They are the back- ground for our nation’s prosperity; but why is it that domestic virtues in some cases do not include a larger percentage of the common sense for which Americans are known the world over? Domestic virtues ought to be kept in their place: They ought not to be allowed to bring wrinkles to women’s faces and to spoil the good tempers which are normally given to all women. It is absurd that a broken china plate should be allowed to create a day of tears and general disagree. ableness for the whole family circle of a sensible home. It is such women as these, who allow their little household matters to assume the proportions of mountains who have turned work intodrudgery in so many cases. There are ever so many women who work hard and faithfully, yet the value of their work is utterly destroyed by regarding it as mere toil and missing the beauty and dignity of work. They see no beauty in anything but pleasure, and because every day cannot be a holiday they shut their eyes to every other light. They mourn continually, “I have noth- ing,” because they will not understand the good and wholesome purpose of life, and will insist upon allowing little things to make them miserable. The test of every life and the test of every character is proper adjustment. The skirt yoke is baving immense pop- ularity with girls and women inclined to ‘‘embonpoint.”” It gives a fresh starting point for pleats, and gathers or shirs, and keeps all redundant fullness away from the waist line. Nevertheless, it can easily be overdone, as is frequently the case when any mode is adopted with enthusiasm. Therefore, it is better to have one street dress only made in this way, as you will not have more than one gown rendered ‘‘old style’ if it, or they, survive this sea- son. Some dressmakers keep all tucks and pleats and panelling below the knee, but this is only to be recommended when a woman is uncommonly tall. To beslender and tall is the desideratum nowadays, and all the lines of dress are arranged to pro- duce and enhance this effect. Hand-embroidered linen waists have very elaborate designs on them. Three maple leaves embroidered on one of these for a decoration were so large they entirely cov- ered the blouse from the waist line to the shoulder. The swagger bodice has most of its gar- niture around the shoulders and drooping over the upper part of the sleeve, in the 1930 style. Candelabra are oftenest reserved for or- nament use these days. Single candle- sticks are preferred by Dame Fashion for table use. : Instead of wash flannel, which has held its own well, the newest blouses for house wear of a morning are made of fleece-lined cheviot. This comes in the assortment of patterns and colors which we choose in our summer gingham frocks. Being fleece- lined, these wash skirts are not so chilly as ordinary starched cheviot or ginghams would be. They are made up rather plain with a well bloused front, which seems to hang over rather more deeply than last winter’s blouses pouched. A silk collar or neck band is usually worn with a fleecy cheviot skirt. Altogether fashionable and graceful is the box-pleated skirt, with a deep, shaped yoke which, hecause of the shaping, fits like the proverbial pager on the wall, though it is more sane and to the point to campare it to the wonderons skin of the serpent, which, though clinging without a wrinkle, gives and shapes itself to every move of ite graceful wearer. But we came not to praise this skirt, ad- mirable as it is. Rather have we our eye on the sleeves of the box-pleated waist, which is slightly double-breasted and shows a ‘‘doodaddie’’ dangling front, the fastening at the left. The sleeve is box- pleated, too, the pleats stitched down to about the elbow, while the lower fullness is caught into a shaped wrist piece, which is elongated in tab shape at the inside of the arm. The ‘‘bulge,’”’ has moved from the wrist nearly up to the elbow. Latest information is all this way; the form is smarter and more generally hecoming than the very long, saggy, baggy shapes.

If you have a bad headache rub slices of lemon along the temple. The pain will not be long in disappearing, or at least in growing easier to bear. The juiee of pineapple cuts the mem- brane from the throat in diphtheria. Cranberries are used internally and ex- ternally in cases of erysipelas. Don’t use your voice when hoarse. Don’t sleep in a room without proper ventilation. A Roman remedy for malaria is this: Cut a lemon into a pint of water, peel and all: boil down to one half. Take one tea- spoonful before meals. Better than quinine. Don’t sleep in a draft. Don’t go to bed with cold feet. Don’t stand over a hot air register. Don’t try to cool off quickly after exer- oising. Let your heartiest meal be at night, or whenever your work for the day is over. Fruit, toasts, soft boiled eggs, and oatmeal make a good breakfast. When the inter- mission between hours of labor is short, no heavy food should be taken into the stom- ach. Handreds of people who eat heartily and return to work almost immediately af- terward have dyspepsia.

Two very important small birds that re- main with us all winter and feed entirely upon insects, especially in orchards, are the downy and hairy woodpeckers. Mem- bers of this family can be known by their dipping flight, their short, sharp notes, their sharp, rigid tail feathers pressed against the tree for support, two toes in front and two behind insuring a firmer grasp, their hard pecking against wood, their modest white and black colors, and the patch of red on the head of the male. They are found mostly on the trunks and larger limbs of the trees, head upward, searching for grubs, chry-salids, etc. They are erroneously called ‘‘Sapsuckers,’’ are killed through ignorance of their own value. They do not suck sap, and do not injure the trees. Protect the small woodpeckers of the winter time and thus protect your fruit crops. Found Money Under Stone. Canteen of Union Soldier Held Large Amount of Cash. Frank McClung, a farmer living near Lookout, Fayette county, W. Va., made a valuable find a few days ago. While doing some work on his farm he overturned a large stone and under it found an old army canteen which contained $1,238. The canteen contained the following in- scription : ‘‘George Hedges, Twenty fourth Ohio.”” It was found in a field in which a party of Union soldiers camped during the Civil War.
