Bemorvac atc Bellefonte, Pa., June i12 1903 FARM NOTES. —Lima beans may require watering if the season is dry, but it pays to do so, as the crop is a valuable one, and easy to cultivate after the poles are set. The soil for Lima beans should not only be rich, but kept clean. Crops may be put ip this . month for a late supply. —In Canada they begin at the beginning in the eradication of weeds. Dr. Fletcher tells that in the schools of Manitoba the children are tanght to know and name the thirty commonest weeds on their fathers’ farms and tell whether they are yearly, two years or many year plants. y —String beans can be grown as long as the weather is warm. The practice of grow- ing the earlier kinds alone is too general, for a ready sale awaits them whenever they reach the markets. Try some of the late varieties, and keep up a succession as long as the opportunity permits. —The pigs should be turned on grass as soon as they are weaned and the grass is ready. They will then require no feeding, except a mess of gronnd oats mixed with middlings, which should be given at night. Corn is too heating for the pigs during the summer season, and will do more injury than benefit. Plenty of grass, with an abundant supply of fresh water, is the best food from now until fall. —A handy arrangement for feeding soft food or marshes is described herewith. Two boards are nailed together,and one is hinged to the wall about one foot from the floor. A bracket is fastened to the wall for the trough to rest on when in use. A two- inch strip is nailed at the front edge of the board to keep the food from rolling off. After the fowls eat, the trough can be hooked up out of the way, and in this way kept perfectly clean, and cleanliness isa great feature in successful poultry raising. —Jokn Rowe, in Farm and Home. —Lime is in general use as a fertilizer, and toa limited extent, also, as an insecti- cide. Testimony as to its value is conflict- ing, and this is due to its condition when applied. Lime as an insecticide ought to be in the form of a dry hydrate. =~ To shell lime or limestone just enough water is to be added to slake; then sift through a mod- erately fine sieve and dust on the insects when they are wet. Only soft-bodied in- sects can be reached by this substance, and the application must be made so that the caustio properties of the lime may have a chance. The larvae of the potato beetle and asparagus beetle are good subjects, and he testimony of its effectiveness on the abbage worm is not wanting. —The whole subject of the sanitary con- dition of farm buildings is a most impor- tant one. Dwellers in the country are obliged to depend upon themselves almost entirely for securing healthful suarround- ings, as they do not have the advantage of boards of health and the sanitary regula- tions of the city. I would particularly emphasize the importance of care in regard to the source of drinking water. See that no sink spouts or vanlts can possibly con- taminate the wells or spring. If the water can be brought in a constant stream from some pure spring in the fields, far away from all the buildings there will be little danger of its containing the germs of typhoid fever or other diseases. There should always be a drain from the sink to some point, at a distance from the house. In vaults and outhouses, plenty of lime and other disinfections should be used. —Almost every hoy knows how to whit- tle, but I have found very few men who without special training could trim sheep’s feet speedily. To do so a pair of toe cut- ters or pruning shears and a good jack- knife with a narrow blade are necessary. If the hoofs are long enough to make ‘it necessary, use the cutters first, always cut- ting from tne inner side and sole of the hoof. Cut in a plane. about parallel to that of the attachment of the hoof. The hoof cuts easier in this way and there is far less danger of cutting too short. A lit- tle practice will enable one to turn the cutters in the hand with almost no loss of time. Todo it drop them against the sheep, turning them as dropped. Two strokes with is knife on each hoof should out the foot in good shape. Always start the knife at the cleft of the heel. The first stroke should remove the outer wall, the knife being moved in the plane of the sole of the foot. The next should remove the inner wall and be drawn at an angle of | j forty-five degrees to the sole.—H. P. Mil. ler in Ohio Farmer. —Every swine raiser probably has his own ideas about the proper time for the pigs to be littered, and there is no doubt that the different localities and the accom- modations for their reception which have been provided make a difference as to the best season for them to come. If good shelter and comfortable houses for the brood sow have been provided, there is no doubt that the pig farrowed in February or March will be a profitable piece of proper- ty, but without these they had better come later. If the breeder follows the practice of raising two litters a year, as many of them do, early farrowing is a necessity. A pig that makes its appearance from the middle of Febuary to the latter part of Maroh can be so managed that the second litter can come and be well on the way he- fore the cold weather sets in. A pig which comes early in the season has the advan- tage of grass, and he will thrive, come to maturity and become fat at much less ex- pense than one which is farrowed in the fall. * Another advantage is that pigs born in the early months of the year can be fatten- ed and sent to market before the hogs which have been fed on the new corn are sent in to glut the market and canse a de- preciation in prices. Inaddition to having warm shelter. the brood sow should have more than ordinary care when she is ex- pected to bring forth her litter while the cold weather is still in evidence. During the period of gestation they should not be kept fat enough to make good pork, but at the same time they should be kept in good condition. Their food should not consist exclusively of corn, but should be varied with a diet that will produce bone and muscle as well as fatand warmth, A good feed for sows at this time is potatoes, boiled and mashed and mixed with ground oats and corn, with the addition of a small quantity of bran. The small potatoes which have been sorted out from the mar- ketable ones can be utilized very profitably in this manner. Scalded clover bay is also a good addition to the slop, as is also all the skim milk that can be spared from the kitchen.—Chicago Drovers’ Journal. ——Subseribe for the WATCHMAN, FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN, Golden eagles are embroidered on the shield cuffs and the upper part of the sleeves of a Russian blouse suit of white mohair. This is for a small boy. If the girl who is going away on a short vacation can have but one shirt-waist suit she will be wise to have it made of wash silk, for she can wear a silk gown on many occasions, even if it is made in shirt-waish style, when a linen or crash dress wonld be bad form. A good model to copy is made of ecru wash silk; the gored skirt is light and cool; it is made very plain and unlined. It is close fitting, with no full- ness until below the knees, where a box- pleat is inserted at each gore, the box-pleat headed with a stitched diamond-shaped piece of silk. The shirtwaist is made without the ex- aggerated blouse, and shows the pretty lines of the new French curve figure, pro- duced by the new Rosalind skirt-holder, which makes the long, slender waistline so much to be dssired. The waist has a box- pleat down the front, with a group of nar- row pleats at either side. It is trimmed with narrow white silk braid to simulate a yoke, and ‘on the box-pleats, arranged in two groups, are big pearl buttons. This dress is not at all inappropriate for morn- ing wear, and yet it is equally good style for almost any informal afternoon ocoa- sion. In making up a gown of this sort, where the skirt is of light-weight silk, unlined, the petticoat requires special attention. It must be fitted over the hips as carefully as the dress skirt. There must be positively no follness at the waistline, while at the bottom there may be one deep flounce, slightly stiffened with featherbone, or many featherboned stiffened ruffles. Of course, she must have a smart looking traveling dress, and for this no material is better suited than dark blue mohair. A plain skirt and a collarless Eton coat is good style for such a costume. If the suit was made solely for traveling, it should be severely plain, but as the girl with two weeks’ vacation will need to wear it on many other occasions, it should be trimmed in some effective way. An effective trimming is to have the col- larless Eton finished at the neck with alter- nate bands of taffeta silk and cream lace in- sertion, and to have these same silk and lace bands form tab eqaulettes over the shoulders and tab ends in front. The cuff of the sleeve may also have a touch of. taffeta and lace. Of course, this Eton isa separate jacket and may be worn, if neces- sary, with separate skirts. A severely simple little frock that will be worn at the graduating exercises of a well-known New York private school, is made of gossamar-like batiste, the full skirt fitted by means of vertical tucks and trimmed with horizontal tucks at tne hot- tom. The bodice shows a high white rib- bon girdle, over which falls a elosed bolero trimmed with tucking. = At the throat tbe blouse is cut away in’ a small point and trimmed with an exquisite shoulder collar of embroidered batiste, thie wonderful bit of hand work relieving the frock from plain- ness. Thesleeves are full at the elbows and are trimmed with deep cuffs of em- broidered batiste. Another frock that is being made fora girl in the same class is almost as simple. though intended for the wear of an exceed- ingly rich young woman. It is made of French mull, and has ‘a doublepleated blouse and skirt, bands of Teneriff medal- lions forming belt and sleeve trimmings, outlining the blouse yoke and heading the deep flounce with which the skirt is faced. There is much shirring shown, both on the gowns for ‘‘maman’’ and the frocks of ‘la fille.”” There is much more fullness allowed in the skirts; and as one must not look ‘‘hunchy,’’ this fullness is gathered onto perfectly fitted plain hip yokes, which are frequently cut in one with the front breadths. Onto this yoke the gathers are sewn, and again held by one, two or three bands lower down, which secure the skirt in the required shape. The fullvess is allowed to fall free from just above the knees at the back, and below the knees in front, the hem being trimmed in some way, either by tucks, insertions of lace or fancy stitchings. The corsage, of course, shows gatherings in some way, but the new 1dea is prominently developed in the sleeves, which are cut half as long again as requir- ed, and drawn up by a band of shirrings from one to two inches wide, on the inner side of the arm, being made decorative, to match the hem. These sleeves are gather- ed into closely fitting cuffs or bands. This treatment is varied by allowing the sleeve to fall in a wide bell, in which case the join is hidden by the shirrings; and quite often the bell veils a long, closely fitting under sleeve of lace, that falls over the band liks a mitten. (Mittens of lace, and last summer.) The Parisian tailor gowns are always more elaborated than the London styles; and are for that reason much more useful; as the style and cut are simple enough to make them suitable for morning or shop- ping wear, while the dainty touches of trimming give them a becoming softness that makes them correct at any time of day. That is why Awerican women pre: fer the Parisian models to those of the more severe London styles. Coats are getting longer in the skirts, if fitted to the figure, but the smarts little coat with or without a short basque, is and will remain in favor, as also the short loose coat. Coats of all kinds are much trimmed with lace, braids, cords and pendants. Double and triple capes are all very light, for in these days the only use of a coat is to carry for chill night protection, or, as in the case of the Pongee, alpaca or linen coats, to protest one from the dust on a long country drive. Where linings are necessary, they are of the lighter silk, or even of chiffon. The sleeves are full and large, of course, but as the dress sleeves are more moderate, so also are the coat sleeves de- void of extravagance now; and there is a tendency to further reduction in size as the season advances. With a Colonial furnishing scheme the doors, to be hung consistently, should not have pairs of portieres but single drop cur- tains such as were used in the eighteenth century. The material best liked by artis- tic decorators for these hangings is a tapes- try showing av English landscape and all in one. These are trimmed with a three- inch panel border without fullness to form a complete panel and when they are drawn open the entire scene is shown. Little girls in short frocks wear their sashes tied very high up on the waist; this is quite a change from the belt line of the Russian blouse, which is absurdly low, al- most down to the knees. The younger the child the higher up its sash is tied, the short-waisted effect being preferred by the elect. silk netted gloves, are even more worn than Health. Nursing in Mumps and Chicken-pox. These two complaints—mumps and chicken-pox—are reckoned among the less serious maladies of childhood; but that the former entails much discomfort, to say nothing of actual misery, is a fact to the truth of which many a little sufferer could attest. It is asserted that infants are almost ex- empt from mumps, and that the period of life to which either sex exhibits the great- est susceptibility to the poison of contagion exists between the fourth and fourteenth years. Girls are less likely to be attacked than boys. Among the initial symptoms that may manifest themselves in the more severe types of the complaint are headache, pains in the back and limbs, chilly feelings, fever, vomiting, and a consequent loss of appetite. The little one complains of pain in the region of the ear in about two or three days thereafter, and this ia soon fol- lowed by a pronounced swelling of the parts. As the misery of the child is great- ly augmented by swallowing or any at- tempt to open the mouth, it is obvious that nourishment should be administered with a view to causing as little discomfort as may be. While the diet must he as nour- ishing as possible, it ought to be restricted to liquids, on account of the increase of pain which mastication would involve. Any foods or drinks containing acids should be omitted, for the reason that acids ap- pear to intensify the trouble. Milk beads the list in the way of fluid nourishment, and the intelligent mother or nurse is apt to think of this first, therefore ; but to serve it in just the same form too frequently would necessarily occasion dis- gust for it. - The inventive care-taker will think of a variety of waysin which to pre- sent this best of foods; she can heat if, or offer it cold, or in the form of cocoa ; or she may have cooked in it peas or any oth- er favorite vegetable, to impart to it a de- sired flavor. As junket requires no mastica- tion, it may be appreciated once in a while. The food value of any preparation is greatly enhanced by the addition of an egg, particularly the white; and an ap- petizing concoction may he evolved by pouring half a tambler of milk in a pre- serving jar along with the unbeaten white of an egg, or the whole egg may be added if desired. Sweeten to taste, and add sev- eral drops of vanilla, a little nutmeg, or any preferred flavoring. A pinch of salt improves its palatability ;then add a little crushed ice, and, tightly screwing on the lid, shake the mixture vigorously to thor- oughly blend the ingredients. If the white of an egg be beaten before adding, it will not readily incorporate itself with the liquid, and will betray its presence by its froth, which is frequently objectionable in the case of sensitive children. While home- made beef tea possesses next to no food ele- ments, it is stimulating, and for that rea- son, and to afford variety, it is an excel- lent adjunct to the dietary. One cannot be provided with too long a list of articles from which to choose, particularly in the case of liquids, for the reason that the di- gestive economy no less than the patient’s appetite so rebels against sameness. Many of the patent foods upen the market ad- mirably fill a need in just such cases. A very nutritious drink, and one that was much enjoyed in a certain instance, was made by combining a tablespoon of malted milk with two teaspoous of condensed milk, along with a pinch of salt, sugar to taste, and sufficient hot water to fill'the cup. For saving the ohild any undue pain bent glass tubes ought to he provided for both nourishment and medicines, as their use necessitates opening the mouth but slightly. Tubes constructed especially for feeding purposes have a wide circumference and are flattened at the mouth portion. A small tube will answer for medicines ; all tubes to be well rinsed after use, then placed to soak in water to which has been added a pinch of washing soda. To maintain cleanliness of the mouth of the patient is obviously necessary,and may be accomplished without real discomfort. A mouth wash of listerine or any good an- tiseptic will keep the mouth in “as healthy condition as may be, at the same time re- lieving the disagreeable dryness. A piece of absorbent cotton may be wound on a tiny stick and dipped in the solution, or the mixture may be drawn into the mouth through the medicine tube and retained for some time before its ejection. Envelop the neck in raw cotton to pro- tect the sore glands, and when there is much pain the application of hot cloths will be found alleviating. Painting with iodine or applications of iodine ointment may he resorted to should the swelling be- come very hard and tense. Children who are susceptible to contagion can undoubtedly contract the disease from the patient even after swelling of the neck has subsided ; so the invalid should be kept from school for three weeks, counting | from the first symptoms, or at least for two weeks after disappearance of the. swelling. | While reckoned among the childish com- plaints, mumps is nog entirely confined to children, as cases do oconr among adults. Though a contagious malady, the disease | in question ig not nearly so much so as any other of the communicable complaints, and is not a serious one ordinarily. Recovery takes place in less than a week in the great majority of instances. Evil complications, when they do occur, are more likely to manifest themselves after the twelfth year, and to involve the sexual organs. The little one should be confined to bed | should the ailment appear to affect the gen- eral health, and under such circumstances medical intervention is especially enjoined. Upon recovery from an attack of mumps it is not considered necessary to disinfect the patient or his wearing apparel, nor to disinfect the room. CHICKEN-POX. Serious consequences are indeed rare as concerns an attack of chicken-pox, it being regarded as a_ very trivial complaint. Af the same time it is highly contagious. In the majority of cases the malady pre- sents such mild disturbances of the general health as to preclude the need for treat-| : ment beyond-the administration of a simple | puargative to secure free movements of the | ; bowels. 4 ART 2 To overcome the annoyance consequent upon itching it is a good plan to dust the | skin with a good taloum or other powder, or to anoint it with one of th of petroleum, like vaselil have formed it is better to ness, the body will requ ing. Moreover, proper care of the skin will prevent the child use of his nails. Scratching is apt to ag- gravate the rash, and to result in poisoning of the skin. : : It is only after the most severe attacks that marks are left, and then the disfigure- ment is likely to appear upon the face. — Home Science Magazine. ——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. 41-46 > preparations | fter orusts| r ploy an oint- | ment containing two per cent of ichthyol. | As cleanliness is important in any ill-| ire frequent bath- | 's making too free | 0s THE HAPPIEST WOMAN.—Is the hard- working one.
