Bellefonte, Pa., July 31 1903 FARM NOTES. —The season of ripening, as well as the keeping qualities of fruit, depend much upon the kind of soil in which they are planted. The Baldwin is an apple that de- lights in soils of rocky situations. It will grow there, perhaps, not as well ‘as ina loam, but will bear as well and become a splendid keeper. ‘The distance of only a few miles will make it a fall apple in one place and a winter apple on another. —Old, musty hay should be used for bedding oaly.. Daring the summer season there is nothing bester for horses than to cut a few armfuls of grass in the morning and allow it to wilt ‘during the day. If fed at night it ‘will be found much 'more palatable than the hay from last year’s crop. Many horses are supposed to lose appetite for hay when the difficulty is only due to their rejection of old material. ~LIf Sprouts appear on new-seb trees you can easily pinch them off with your thumb and finger, aud throw the growth where it is wanted. But do not cut off all ‘of the growth. If the roots are good you will find a deal of sap sent up from the roots, and top enough should be allowed for the roots to grow. If you dwarf the top of a young new-gef tree that is making a rapid growth you are dwarfing she roots. If you allow too muol top on a feeble tree you will kill the tree. —F'ruit trees that have been lately planted should be attended to. A few minutes only will be required to see if they are firm in the ground and need the dirt trod hard around them again. If they look ‘as though they would die, pinch off all the leaves from the tree, but do not strip from the tree, for the wounds made at the tree will dry the feeble stock; if a part of the stem of the leaf is left on, however, it will not dry out. It may appear a small thing, but it is a very important one. If the tree is as is recommended it will grow; if not it may be lost. —A good way to get rid of potato bugs is to poison them by the use of Paris green and water at the rate of one pound of the poison to one hundred gallons of water. Another way is to nse the Paris green with cheap flour or plaster, using about one pound of green to, one barrel of either of the latter. This should be dusted on the leaves early in the morning when they are moist. London purple may be used in the place of Paris green, but as it is more liable to burn the leaves when used in water, one pound of quicklime should be put in the water for each pound of London purple used; but the London purple, in such a case, should be used at the rate of one pound toseventy gallons of water. —Lime is in general use as a fertilizer, and to a limited extent, also, as an in- secticide. Testimony as toits value is con- flicting, 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 wa- ter is to be added to slake; then sift through a moderately fine sieve and dust on the insects when they are wet: Only soft-bodied insects can be reached by the substance, and the application must be made so that the caustic properties of the lime may have a chance. The larvae of the potatoe beetle and asparagus beetle are good subjects, and the testimony of its effectiveness cn the cabbage worm is not wanting. ——Do not disturb the ground near the roots of apple trees or other trees just set out. The loosening of the soil around the tree will always loosen the roots, allow the tree to work free, sway backward and forward in the wind and tear the roots loose as fast as they take hold of the ground. Such trees do not grow well, and will finally die or blow over. The tree should have solid ground in which to take hold, and be firm and solid, and it will make a rugged tree. To prevent the soil getting too dry loosen it only an inch or two deep on top, ‘which will keep the ground cool and moist and not loosen the tree. A tree will, if it grows properly, root several feet in a year, but if continu- ally loosened by mellowing the soil will fail to root. —It is much easier and cheaper to give the pigs a large-size yard and feed the clover to them, instead of allowing them to roam all over the pasture. As the pigs root up many portions of the field, they do more or less damage, and as it is but little labor to cut the clover for them they do not waste much. Ringing the pigs prevents them from rooting deep, but not entirely unless the ringing is properly done. An slvantape in soiling, them, is that they made a large quantity of manure, which may be easily saved, while in the pasture the manure, though not entirely lost, is unevenly distributed. The best way of keeping the sow while sucking her pigs is to feed clover to her in the pen, which should be given twice a day, with sloppy food morning, noon and night. Do not wean the pigs too soon. The longer they can stay with the sow the better, and if she is fed on a liberal supply of clover she will give a large quantity of milk and the pigs will grow fast. —The young ducks must be trained to know where home is hy regular feeding and looking after. The unprincipled fowls enjoy eating corn with your neighbor’s hogs, but the neighbor does not care about feeding a flock of growing ducks that do not belong to him. Besides, it is dangerous for the ducks to be fooling around where hogs are. An old mother hog soon develops quite a fondness for duck meat after once getting a taste. The ducks are not ‘active enough to get away from the porkers, and they will soon consume every dock within reach. We have known them to run down grown ducks. It is much easier to manage ducks than chickens when a rain is coming up. The ducks may be driven and the chicks must be coaxed. The chicks will scatter in all directions when one attempts to drive them, while the ducks seem to have a leader and the gang stays together. It will soon be time to begin picking the old ducks if you have decided you want feathers instead of eggs. They won’t pro- duce both. They won’t lay very many eggs anyway when very warm weather comes, #o that likely it will pay better to save the feathers. If one has no. use for them at home, there is always a ready sale for them, often right in one’s own locality. There are so many people who cling to feather beds, even if they are out of date ; and there are many who would rather buy feathers than to bother with a flock of ducks or geese. The strong smell that new feathers have will leave them if they are thoroughly aired for a few days before using them for beds or pillows.— Farm Journal. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Should ants get into the refrigerator, a saucer of tartar emetic mixed with sugar and water slionld be placed therein. It will drive them away. The latest idea in bedsteads has a head- hoard only a trifle higher than the foot- board, and both are made interchangeable, 80 as to be adjustable to any room. An- other popular model is of mahogany, with both headboard and footboard of an equal beighs, just high enough to support pil- lows, if they are used, but a round bolster is better style. People must drink water! Sooner or later those who don’t ‘drink look like parchment, if they live: Prophets are foretelling a military note in the street gowns and coats of the com- ing season. Military coats, cuffs, collars, piping are, it is said, to be much in evi- dence. For Casino wear all the best-dressed women favor mousseline de soie, encrusted with lace and adorned with many fluffy frills on a sweeping shaped flounce. This ie distinctly the fashion of the hour. The fashionable wrap of the moment is of short taffetas, with Louis XVI frills on the huge sleeves and a cape arrangement at the back of gathered mousseline de soie, which forms a long stole in front, edged witha gathered flounce of the muslin. This wrap will be frequently seen at the smartest Casinos. White is immensely worn just now, and the loveliest toilettes seen at the most fashionable rendezvous of the smart world are in mousséline de soie, with deep inser- tions of delicate lace. For theatre and dinner wear aigrettes are quite a feature of a fashionable coiffare, and this mode will doubtless continue in favor this win- ter. School girls dress their hair this season with a difference. The large, wheel-shap- ed bow of black taffeta ribbon, which has all the loops widely separated and pulled apart as stiffly as possible, is removed from the crown of the head, its former session, and is withdrawn lower down. There is now a choice of situation depending on the contour of the face. The bow is occasion- ally stayed behind the left ear, firmly pinned in position. But if that is not especially becoming—and often it is not to an irregular profile—it is placed at the nape of the neck, just over the bair. which is drawn back here from the face. The hair is generally worn with loose locks on the shoulders, unless the lassie gowns so tall as to require long frock, and then, of course, her hair must be tied in a giant club knot or braids pinned up. She cannot wear her hair in a plain knot at the back of her head so long as she wears short frocks. In the morning play in sand or grass the little blue overalls are a boon. The mother ie foolish indeed who is only interested in the mind and clothes of her offspring. Too often her poor child will not require either if not allowed to develop its body. Temperance fruit cup.—Shave the yel- low rind from four lemons, taking care that you get none of the bitter white, and drop into a large eathen bowl. Squeeze the juice from a dozen lemons on to the rinds, add two pounds of granulated sugar, coverand let it stand over night. Into another bowl put a shredded pineapple and a scant quart of mixed fruits, such as ber- ries, cherries, sliced peaches or apricots. Cover the fruit also with sugar. In the morning crush the fruits and strain the liquid into the lemon syrup. Add a pint of strained and chilled tea and set in a cool place for several hours. When ready to serve add two quarts of apollinaris or plain ice water. Dr. Mary Chandler, of Lowell, Mass., is said to be the only woman in America who is entitled to practice both law and medi- cine. Children’s first teeth should be kept $20 clean and filled juss as carefully as perma- nent teeth, says Harper's Bazar. One of the most obvious reasons is to spare a tiny child any unnecessary pain. One sleepless night spent in the care of a suffering child with the toothache is more than enough to convince a mother. Filling the tiny cavi- ties that a dentist finds in such ‘teeth does not give a child pain. The bit of soft fill- ing stops the decay, and the tooth is thus kept in its position in the jaw until thrust out by nature. A ohild’s first tooth should not be pulled until it fairly drops at the touch. If it is taken from the jaw before the permanent tooth is well formed the jaw shrinks. When the permanent tooth appears, being larger than its predecessor. it does not find the proper room which growth of the jaw would otherwise give, and the results are those ugly overlappings so disfiguring, so painful and so costly to remedy. A large, well-curved jaw is the first preparation for handsome teeth, but the size of the jaw 1s not within the scope of parental care. The best that can be done is not to decrease its size by untimely removal of the teeth. The new tooth absorbs a part of material for its own use from the small roots of the first one. Any one who has looked at the entire absence of roots on a first, shell-like tooth which drops out by nature’s push will recognize thie, and readily understand that to have pulled the tooth too soon would bave robbed the new tooth of its needed material and made it just so much less strong and healthy. Watch the ohild’s teeth and have them regularly inspected by a competent dentist. About the time we are convinced thas bare arms are not a sensible style for the daytime we begin to consider appearing sans neck covering. If we care anything about it we may easily see just how few of last year’s dresses are being worn, It is very seldom that we come upon a fair one with the snug, ruffieless elbow sleeves these days. Last summer nearly every other girl seemed bent upon displaying her fore- arms. Happily sleeves for ordinary wear are now full length. Elbow, voluminous and beautiful, are reserved for house wear, for garden parties and evening. So those who strive to up to date are either casting aside last summer’s sleeves or lengthening them by various means. If one has mater- ial one way is simply to make three tucks around the upper arm and full on the new material, gathering it in again at the ounff. Another expedient is to make a lace or mull undersleeve and allow the old sleeve to hang over it in flowing fashion. It makes no difference as to the length of the outer sleeve. It may come to the elbow or it may fall to the wrist. If the latter 18 should be wide. If not, it may be slashed, in order that the lace may be seen.

THE CENTAUR COMPANY, 77 MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY. 48-30-3m PE en. Bank Robbed of $50,000. Cashier of (State Bank of Cornwall a Defaulter —Arrested and in Jail. Joseph W. Cummins, cashier of the state bank of Cornwall, N. Y., isin the county jail, charged with being a defaulter to the extent of nearly $50,000. The state bank examiner discovered the defalcation recent. ly and the cashier was at once put under arrest, he having, it is understood, admit- ted his guilt. The bank was capitalized at $25,000, and had about $60,000 in deposits. It will be closed and probably permanently. Its larg- est depositor has been the Firth Carpet company of Firtheliff, in the town of Corn- wall, which concern drew out $4,000 on Saturday of last week. The bank did a small business, and unless its officers make good it will go bard with a number of small business men in Cornwall. The cause of Cummins’ downfual is at- tributed to Wall street, where, it is al- leged, he had recently been taking ‘‘flyers’’ on different kinds of stock and gradually getting deeper and deeper until the end came. He was practically the only one in the little bank that had any previous bank- ing experience. He came to the institu- tion with the very best of recommendations, and had heretofore lived an exemplary life. He is a son of the superintendent of the Long Island railroad and has a wife and two children, with whom he lived in Corn- wall in good style. Cummins is about 29 years old aud be- sides being a church member was president of the Cornwall board of trade and presi- dent of the village board of education. He was bonded for $7,000 and it is understood that he has turned over to the bank all his real estate and personal property, which with the bond is expected to reimburse the bank to the extent of between $15,000 and ,000. It is said that a recent loss of $5,500 in Wall street speculation made a shortage that he could not well coverup, and that is the direct cause of the defalcation be- coming known. Im———— Three Delicious Ice Creams. LeuoN Ice CREAM.—In spite of the usual theory that lemous and milk will not blend, this cream is an exceptionally good one and can be relied on to give satisfaction pro- vided the directions are minutely followed. Squeeze and strain the jnice of four lemons, stir in sugar until the juice becomes stiff and will hold no more. Put the mixture in the freezer can, pack with ice and salt, and let stand for two hours. At the end of that time remove the lid, pour in one quart of fresh sweet milk, and freeze after the usual method. In serving creams of | any kind, a plain cake—either pound, citron, or raisin, especially if home-made, is always acceptable. BISCUIT GLACE.—As a dessert for a com- | pany luncheon either winter or summer the ; bisouit glace holds its own as the elegant sweet. This excellent recipe has been well tested, and found to be delicious. Boil half & oupful of water and two-thirds of a oupful of sugar together for half an hour. Remove from the fire and stir in three well-beaten eggs. . Then place the sauce pan in one of boiling water and beat the mixture vigorously for eight minutes. Then transfer the saucepan to one of cold water, and continue beating until the contents are cold. Adda teaspoonful of vanilla and one pint of cream which has previously been whipped to a stiff froth; stir well and fill individual paper oases, which can be hought from a confectioner or made at home from fine white cardboard. Brown one and a half dozen macaroons in a moderate oven, cool, and roll to a fine powder. Then sprinkle lightly over the top of each case. Pack carefully in the freezer can, laying stiff paper over each layer of hoxes to form a foundation for the next; cover, pack in salt and ice, and let stand for three hours. ; RASPBERRY SOUFFLE.—Nothing is more delicate and palatable than a souffle. It is slightly more substantial than a water ice yet not so heavy as a cream. To make a good raspberry souffle select ripe, red ber- ries, sugar slightly, and let stand on ice for two hours. Then pass through a fruit- press, strain, and measure the juice. To every pint allow the same quantity of water, six eggs, and one pound of sugar less the quantity nsed in sugaring the ber- ries. Beat the egge, add the other in- gredients, and cook in a double boiler unitl the mixture arrives at the consistency of boiled custard. Strain and freeze. Texas Offers $50,000 Reward. Will Give That Sum to Any One Who Will Destroy Cotton Boll Weevil. Gov, Lanham, of Texas, has issued a proclamation offering a reward of $50,- 000 ‘‘to any person or persons who shall discover and farnish a practical remedy for the destruction of the cotton boll weevil in Texas.” The issuance of the proclamation does not indicate that the boll weevil is doing serious harm to the cotton crop. It was made necessary by law. The fact is, com- paratively small harm from the boll weevil is in evidence this year. NIGHT wAs HER TERROR.—“I would cough nearly all night long,”’ writes Mrs. Chas.
