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.

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.

cough nearly all night long,”’ writes Mrs.
Chas. Applegate, of Alexandria, Ind., “and

sumption so bad that if I walked a block I
