Bena Bellefonte, Pa., January 16, 1903 FARM NOTES. —Clover is better than timothy for COWS. —Regularity in feeding and milking is important. —In milking squeeze the teats just hard enough to get the milk. —To get all the butter the cream must be uniformly ripened. —Cows that are good producers of rich milk must be good consumers. —In small quantities cotton seed meal is a good feed, but in excess it injuries the butter. —The dark spot in the centre of a bean blossom is the newest approach to black that occurs in any flower. —The white poppy is the only poison- ous variety. From the black poppy a sweet oil can be prepared, and used like olive oil. ' —While it pays to raise hogs in con- junction with the dairy, it never will pay the manufactory to keep the swine quarter- ed near the cheese factory or creamery. —Salt enters largely into the natural economy of the cow. She has no way of getting it unless her master supplies her. Costs too much? Costs more not to keep her supplied. —It bas long been known that heavily stocking an old garden with red clover, allowing it to remain two years without plowing, will bring the soil back to its fer- tility and vigor. —Stagnant water is injurious toall kinds of fruit trees or plants, and during the winter, especially, it is often the case that serious injury is done them by allowing water to stand around them and freeze. In many cases a little work at the right time would easily avoid this. In setting trees in the fall see that good drainage is given. —In storing fruit or vegetables in the cellar, the bester plan is to have boxes or bins, and arrange them so that they will be raised two or three inches above the bot- tom and the same distance from the wall. This gives a cold air space all around them, and will aid materially in keeping them at a more even temperature, while at the same time the risk of injury by frost is considerably lessened. —Much working, and especially a sec- ond working, is injarions, destroying as it does the natural grain of the butter, giving it a green, salvy consistency. The aim in packing is to exclude air and lights. Cover- ing with brine is the only snre method of excluding air. Store in a sweet, cool place, where an even temperature can be main- tained somewhat below 60 degrees. —There should he no such thing as “‘breaking in a heifer” when she has her first calf. She should be so carefully band- led that there will be no necessity for do- ing the thing after that; it should be done before calving. If this has not been done before, hegiu some weeks before calving to familiarize the heifer with the milker. Stroke her, caress her. handle the udder, doing everything go carefully that any ad- vance in the process will be nunoticed by the animal. Within a few days the udder can be handled at will, and the heifer will soon come to enjoy and even expect such caresses. If this work is carefully and kindly done there will be no trouble when milking time comes. —It requires much time and patience to breed a line up to anything approaching perfection, but once attained the reward is well worth the effort. Single hens have sold in this country for as much as $500, while in England $1,000 has been paid for a single specimen. The breeder does not depend for his returns altogether upon fancy prices for his individual birds, how- ever. He profits by the increased produc- tiveness of his flocks. For instance, in the matter of egg-laying it may be cited that the average American hen lays about 100 -egus per year. The practical poultry man goes in for better results and gets them. Numerous instances show whole flocks with an average of 200 to the hen per year —an increase cf 100 per cent.—Leslie’s Monthly. —It it is desired to remove the calf en- tirely it should be done as soon as it has drawn its first mess of milk from the dam, while the cow should be thoroughly milk- ed, and her milk fed to pigs for a week, or given to the calf, if it is to be raised. Calves can be taught to drink by allowing them to suck the finger, which should ex- tend upward from a pan of milk, and by gradually withdrawing is the calf will soon dearn to drink. Fortunately, calf feeders, or implements specially devised for the purpose, have heen invented for assisting in the weaning of calves. The milk for calves need not be very rich. The calf may be taught to eat as soon as it will do #0. There is nothing better for them than two parts ground oats and one of corn ‘meal, cooked, and fed as a gruel. —Apple orchards generally do best on olay soils, and clay soils are the ones that need moss to be drained; says au exchange. “This lack of drainage is doubtless largely responsible for the failure of thousands of -orchardg. ~ The clay soil, even on hillsides, holds too much water for the good of the tree-roots during wet times, whether chose times be in fall, winter or spring. It not infrequently happens thas a tree is set out on a clayey hillside. It leaves out well, but alter that the leaves dwindle in size and become sickly in appearance. Finally the tree dies. We have seen thie caused apparently by heavy rains saturating the clay soil and keeping it full of moisture during the time when the tree was at- tempting to form new rootlets and root hairs. Examples of this have come to the attention of the writer this year in locali- ties that have had rains every day for about two months. Poor drainage is apparently ‘the cause. . Summer droughts are given as the cause of the death of some fruit trees. Yet if the 80il bad been thoroughly drained to a depth of three feet the roots of the trees would have struck so deep that drouth would affect them but little. When drain- age is bad, the roots remain nearer the sar- face of the ground, and so are more injur- ed in the case of lack of moisture in the ‘surface soil. Droughts are Seldon go severe -a8 to dry out the ground to a depth of sev- eral feet. . A hard pan just below the trees is given as the cause for the failure of some but in this case it seems to us that it is really a question of drainage. If the drains had been put in at the right depth and the soil broken up under the trees, no hard pan of any consequence could have ex- ‘isted. Also the work of the frost on such drained soil is more complete and way made for the deeper penetration of the 0018, FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. There never was a more useful trimming than coarse applique lace, which gives a touch of chic to the plainest of frocks. The deep cape collar is seen on every conceivable sort of garment, and so stead- ily does it grow in popularity that now both coats, bodice and fancy shirt waists have these deep, single, double or triple collars falling over the sleeves. These col- lars are becoming to nearly all women, and are especially pretty in soft, thin, evening fabrics with the collar unlined or much in- crusted or inlet with lace. An excellent camphorated tooth powder, which will not destroy the enamel of the teeth and yet will render them white, is made of 7 drs. of precipitated chalk, } dr, of powdered camphor, and 1dr. of pow- dered orris root. Itis not sufficient to use only a sooth powder; a little dentifrice is pleasant, and has a beneficial influence up- on the gums. To make one, take 2 ozs. of borax, a quart of hot water, and one tea- spoonful 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 them for use. A few drops used in a little water form a delightful wash. Clothes should never be shut up ina wardrobe directly after they have been worn. Let the hodice of a dress hang over the back of a chair for at least half-an-hour before you putit away. The oldest clothes can be kept fresh and odorless if they are treated in this way. Children should be tanght to turn their stockings inside out at night, and hang them over the back of a chair. All body-linen should be hung over the back of a chair at night, so that air can circulate through it freely; the neat little packs of clothes, folded up and put one on top of the other, in which our grandmoth- ers delighted, was extremely unhygienic ? a The hip yoke steadily grows in favor and will be a distinguishing feature of many of the spring and summer skirts, as it offers so many pleasing combinations of fabrics. Slot or lapped seams mark the smart tailor costume, with braid the most popu- lar trimming. A year or so ago, when separate bodices of different material and coloring were worn with odd-skirts of silk, velvet or lace, the demi-toilette was, in a way, more easi- ly arranged, but now, since the wearing of a skirt and bodice whicl: do not matoh in color, has been tahooed, the demi-toilette costume is somewhat changed, and for the better, as a one-tone coloring is more apt to he hecoming to women, as far at least as their figures are concerned. For the wom- an who is encumbered with avoirdupois there can be no disputing this. The fact that less variety is possible by this fashion of relegating the fancy bodice with an odd skirt to the woman of limited wardrobe is more than counterbalanced by artistic ef- feot which is possible under the newer method of one coloring. It also is a fact that one grows less tired of the softer, less pronounced scheme of contrast which is now in vogue. Blouses of heavy hand-span linen, with a plastron and cuffs of heavy altar lace, will be exceedingly smart this coming sea- son. Embroidered front effects, broad at the shoulders and tapering at the waist, are salient features of the advance showings of blouses. The grape motif is especially promivent, and, incongruous as it may seem, there is no attempt to follow na- ture’s colorings. White, pink, blue, green and lavender are used. Very large, sprawling leaf patterns are very popular for the more exclusive dash- ing blouses of embroidered linen that are made to order. The ready-made models, however, show more quiet patterns. SR Cheviot, momie cloth, madras, and any and all kinds of linen, are used for the more severe tailor blouses, wkile the sheer white one is developed in any variety of styles of almost indeseribable elaboration. Many women, as well as men, are losing their hair in one spot; in other words, are growing bald. : This awful state of affairs cries for something to remedy it. Itis bad enough to see men going around with a most apparent loss of the hirsute ornaments, but when it comes to women displaying an equal misfortune one may well set seri- ously to thinking of a preventive or cure. It bas been suggested that one of the reasous some women lose their hair is that they wear it done up in one way for years. No hair can stand such treatment and live. If there is but one way that the bair can be arranged in a becoming mauner it will, | of course, have to be worn that way most of the time, but between whiles it can be put up in a different way. - The woman at home ought to bave no diffionlty whatever to arrange her hair to relieve the usual style. If she is in the habit of wearing it on top of her head be- cause it suits her style best that way, then as a relief it might be worn for a few quiet hours coiled at the back of the neck. It niay not be pretty, but it may save her from the awful bald spos. Keep children well, clothe them sensibly and, to make them happy, make them un- derstand that they are to amuse themselves, and don’t annoy them. If your selfish love has hitherto kept your children de- pendent upon you, it is your duty loving- ly to teach them self-reliance. It will be a pleasure to find that a wholesome letting alone, and as much personal freedom as may be compatible with its moral develop- ment, brings the highest good and the traest pleasure to a child. .Tall, slender women have it all their own way. The perfect figure has been dis- cussed of late by the Americans, and their fiat is that elenderness combined with good lines is essential; but it is no good being thin unless youn are willowy and graceful. The taller, she more slender, the better; the shoulders broad, the arms long, the waist line at the front long, the hips well shaped, neither flat nor hollow. The line must be straight from under the arms to the ankle; there must be a slight ontward curve at the back of the waist. It is the greatest mistake to pad over the hips. One of the artifices of a fashionable corsetiere is to lace the hips into a flat line. Stays grow longer and consequently far less comfors- able, but while they lengthen below the waist they become shorter above. The stiff, high-hand collars of white linen that are de rigueur now are quite low and made of the very finest of linen, ornamented with rows of hemstitohing and French needlework of various kinds. Jerusalem’s Temples. Visitors to Jerusalem, says the London ‘‘Express,’”’ may now see models of the great temples that have been built on Mount Moriah. They form a wonderful and interesting exhibit. It was on this mount that Solomon built his historic tem- ple 1,000 years before the birth of Christ. Since thas time several others have oceu- pied that historic site—two Jewish, one pagan, two Christian and one Mohamme- dan. Of these the most notable are the Temple of Herod, the Church of Justinian and the present Mosque of Omar. These models represent the work of the iate Dr. Schick, a German archlogist, who gave thirty-two years’ study to the buildings which occupied the historic spot during the last 3,000 vears. Before build- ing them he studied for years every writ- ing, sacred and profane, that dealt upon the temples. No living one knows Jerusa- lem as he knew it. The models are of wood, and are made to a scale of one foot to every 200 feet. They are in many pieces, to facilitate removal, and when put togeth- | er each model forms two quadrangles, each about nine feet and one-half feet wide and some twenty inches high. The model of Solomon’s temple, for instance, which at- tracts most attention, is eighteen feet long and nearly six feet wide. The great temple of Solomon was de- stroyed by the Chaldeans, and after the captivity of the Jews a new one was built upon the same sight by Herod which is known as Herod’s temple. It was finished about thirty years before the birth of Christ An inspection of the two models reveals a considerable difference in the design of the various buildings. Equally interesting is the model of the great Christian church of St. Mary, built in the reign of the Emperor Justinian, and known as Justinian’s church. Dr. Schick believed this sacred edifice was erected on the foundations of the 1T'emple of Jupiter, built in the second century by Hadrian. The fourth modal shows Mount Moriah as it is to-day. A beautiful mosque has taken the place of Justinian’s Christian church. The first building within the in- closure is the Aksa mosque, and close to it the mosque for the women, once the ar- mory of the Knights Templar. The great mosque show trace in its architecture of all the phases of ownership it has seen. — Byzantine, Crusader and Saracen. The Iron Trade. A Dollar a Ton Added to the Price of all Wire Products. From the majority of the leading dis- tributing centres come reports of a slight hardening tendency in foundry irons, al- though none of them notes any activity. Nor does it appear that there have heen any purchases of foreign iron on any scale by importers. The problem of bringing dcwn domestic prices to a point where foreign sales here will be restricted is as far from a solution as ever. So many of the domestic producers are tied down with old contracts for so many mouths to come that energetic effective measures seem out of the question for the present. The lots of Southern gray forge which were offered at about §15 50, Birmingham,some time since, have disappeared. Bessemer pig continues very scarce in the Central West. There is little doing 10 foreign steel. the decline 1n some of the finished products making it impossible for many of the small- er independent mills to make ends meet at present prices of foreign steel. From Pitts- burg comes the news that contracts ag- gregating 50.00 to 75,000 tons of open- hearth steel have been placed. There are indications that some arrange- ment has been reached between German and American makers of wire rods in re- gard to the markets on this continent. This ie not a matter of much significance to our own market, but is important to the Canadian wire industry. Some fair business aggregating about 10.000 tons, has been placed in Chicago for structural steel, but generally speaking, the business in this line is quiet. The plate mills have secured further work. On the whole, the position of the mills rolling lighter products is better. Some of the weak epots are disappearing, largely becanse the outside works are not com- peting quite as actively as they have b en doing. This is true of sheets, merchants’ pipe and bars. : The independent sheet makers.have ap- pointed a committee for the purpose of con- sidering a merger. In steel bars Chicago reports a closing of a contract for 12,000 tons. A general advance of $1 a ton has been announced on all wire producte. In the metal markets we note a hardening in the price of copper and a further advance in tin, which has been rising quite steadily for some time past.— The Tron Age. Anatomical.

Young Man Crippled for Life by Burgiar’s Shot. After being in the McKeesport Hospital for over a year Robert Craiz was able to go to his home in Buena Vista last week. His legs are paralyzed and he will never be able to walk. He was shot in October, 1901, while trying to drive burglars from his home. Three months later the ballet was removed from his back on the left side, but he has never walked since the shoot- ing. Craig is twenty-six years old and married. A MARVELOUs INVENTION.

The twenty-second anniversary of the formation of the first Christian Endeavor society—February 2nd next—will be cele- brated by at least 4,000,000 members in all parts of the world, according to the ex- pectations of the officers. The ‘‘Christian Endeavor World’’ has received the following message from Presi- dent Roosevelt, written for Christian En- deavor Day, and it will be read during the celebrations : “Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor : ‘I greet you and wish you well. Your body stands prominent among the organi- zations which strive toward a realization of interdenominational and international Christian fellowship as well as among those which stand for ideals of true citizenship— that is for the cultivation, not alone of a high standard of civic and social rightous- ness, but of the strength, courage and com- mon sense necessary for living up to sucha standard.

The girl, who resides in Centralia, IlI., is recovering from a local indisposition, which last week it was feared would cause her death. On December 28th. she be- came suddenly ill, and Dr. J. G.
