5 MS Bellefonte, Pa., August 7 1903 FARM NOTES. _ —Nothing should be given a mulch cow that, so far as. quality is concerned, we would not be willing to eat and drink. our- selves. Pastures should be free from weeds, brush and rank grasses; also from bitter herbs and ‘low growing, deciduous and evergreen trees. ? —Damp houses and yards are where many of the poultry diseases originate, and this is the prime cause of the disagreeable disease of roup, which is so very disastrous after it once gets a good start; and, in fact, there is nothing more conducive to disease and general disorder among the fowls than to compel them ‘to spend their time ‘in damp quarters. ~ A sandy soil is the best, as it absorbs ‘the moisture and dries’ off quickly. 151d { : —The use of rich animal or other nitrog- enous manures on grapevines: should be avoided, as they cause too rapid growth of vine; immature growth is liable to mildew and ros to an increased Stent, fod Lhakes a poorer quality of grape 0 an Scaphate are valuable for fertilizers in the vineyard. ~'Ashessupply thefirst and a fair amonns of the second, and mineral. phos- phate the second, . Boneduss is good, but contains nitrogen, which sometimes in wet seasons makes a rank growth of vine. The grape does nob require the application of fertilizers as frequently as do other fruits. | If the soil iasuitable, and not too droughty, the grapes will grow with but the aid of a small outlay for fertilizers. —There are many causes why apples fail to ripen, which do not all; of course, affect the same tree, but-one or more of them may cause the premature dropping of frmit. 1. The trees may be weakened by a severe winter, which may injure them in trunk, root or branches, leaving vitality enough to form and not perfect the fruit. 2. "Wet weather following dry weather will cause a sudden growth and make the stems of the apple so_ brittle that they will break and fall.. 3. Root lice may rob the roots of sap, weaken the tree and cause the apples to fall. 4. Sudden changes from wet to dry, will cause an irregular growth of the fruit, and consequently it will drop. 5. Borers may weaken: the vitality of the tree. 6. Curculios and - eoddling moths. may. at- tack the fruit. .7. The soil may: be too poor to support the fruit. 8, The tree may. blossom unduly late, thus allowing the growth of the tree to get the start of the fruit and rob it of the nourishment, thus causing it to fall. 9. Cold nights may af- fect the vigor of the fruit germs, which may grow for a short time and prematurely fall. 10. Heavy winds may sway the balf form- ed fruit so severely as to loosen the stem and canse the fruit to finally drop. 11. The apples may draw the sap from the leaves and weaken the tree. 12. Fangi, such as rust and blights, may attack the leaves. 13. 'Overbearing the preceeding year may exhaust the vitality of the tree. 14. Imperfect fertilization of the blossom in the spring may cause weak fruit that readily falls from the tree, There are, also many other causes. When the seeds of the fruit seem to be well—unusoally well— developed some seasons the fruit seldom falls prematurely. To prevent premature falling of the fruit keep the trees ‘healthy and free from inseots; keep the ground properly - manured, and set your orchards in as sheltered a place as possible, free from winds and storms. A moderate thinning of the fruit . will cause the remainder to hold on better. A moderate pruning in the spring, before blossoming, will also cause the fruit to fall less than in any unpruned and overburdened tree. To prevent it at all times is, of course; impossible. Some varieties of fruit hold on better and make surer crops. —1In England the most important meth- od of keeping up the vigor of the soil is by pasturing sheep. The sheep and the tur- nip are inseparable, and it is due to sheep passuring that the farms in that country do not deteriorate in qualisy. ' Their plan of managing sheep for such purpose is very different from ours. We turn our sheep on pasture and allow them to roam at will, picking and selecting such herbage as suits them best, oceasioning thereby a wider dis- tribution of manure than we wish. Sheep dung is very concentrated and fine, and, if the animals can be made to feed on small spaces, they not only strew manure thick- ly, but press it firmly into the earth with their feet. It is very rich in nitrogen, and it bas been Slaimed that this is due to the fact of the food being nitrogenized by the air taken into the lungs, and from thence into the system and discarded. This,how- ever is not generally accepted as correot,for if such is the case with sheep it is also equally applicable to all other animals. The nitrogenous qualities of sheep manure are however, very apparent, owing to its highly concentrated ‘condition. = HURDLING ON SMALL FIELDS. Fallowing is practiced to a great ex- tent in this country,espeocially in the South. For it should be substituted sheep pastur- ing. To manage it properly the sheep should be hurdled on particular locations, changing regularly at stated periods. It has been claimed that 100 sheep hurdled on one acre of ground for 15 days, will manure the land sufficiently for four crops. The land is first sowed with turnips, the Swedes or rutabagas being preferred, as they keep well. Even in winter these turnips remain for the sheep. ‘As sheep eat close to the ground they leave but little of the turnips. The hurdles are made portable, and are easily removed or changed. As soon as the enclosed piece of gronud has been eaten off entirely the hardleis removed just suffi- ciently to clear that piece. to an adjoining one, and the place lately occupied by the sheep is then re-seeded with something else. As sheep are not averse to any kind of food a choice can be made by the farmer as to the next crop. = : PLANTS SUITABLE FOR SHEEP. Among the plants suitable for this pur- pose are peas and beans. Cow peas are ex- cellent. A sheep will eat the pea vine— peas, hulls and roots, too—if he can get at them. Heavy, tall are'not prefer- red, and so eager, are the sheep for feeding close to she ground that thew have been known to become poor in flesh on heavy clover pastures that were high. They love the young, tender grass and nearly all kinds of weeds make good food for them. . {IMPROVEMENT OF SOILS. \ 1t cannot be denied that by a system of hurdling,and frequent changing of location | sheep can’ be used with great bepefit on poor soils. Instances are known in which worn out lands have, by being hurdled with sheep, been brought to the highest de- gree of fertility. It is also a very cheap method of ' restoring land, for the sheep so tured will not only add an increase to the value of the land, by ring} ng it back to fertility, but will, with woo! _— CArCass, pay a handsome dividend on any amount of capital expended in such an enterprise. “1 For "AND ABOUT WOMEN. The habit of biting the finger nails is formed by a good many children, and it is oue really hard to overcome, even with tireless patience. One mother cured her little daughter of this failing by a singular- ly simple method, having resorted to al- most every other without avail. She gave the ohild ‘‘for her very own,’’ a neas little manicure set, instructing her how to use it and showing her how its use beautified the bands. ; Eureka ! The spring of feminine vanity was touched. The little girl be- came devoted to her new toy and promptly overcame her bad habit. Caramel Ice Cream.—Make a plain ice cream of a custard, of a pint of milk, four eggs and a oup of sugar, all cooked togeth- er until the custard coats the spoon. When cold add a cup of cream, ‘and a half cup of caramel or burnt sugar. Stir well, and beat in a cup of shelled and chopped Eng- lish walnuts and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Freeze. A writer advises the following for dand- ruff : Alcohol,” twoounces; witch hazel, two ounces; resorcin, fifteen grains. - This cleanses the. scalp and makes the hair soft and silky. Apply every day uniil improve- ment is seen. = Powdered borax, two ounces; boiling water, two quarts; powdered camphor, one ounce. Mix. When cold, bottle for use. Rub into the scalp with the fingers several times a week. As for thé bare neck carefully dressed women do not appear thus on the street in town, not because they wonld find it:.com- fortable, bus rather because idle ones would: make stupid remarks. The next best thing is to wear a stock of lace which does not keep out the air. For resorts. stockless bodices are quite the thing. « For frivolous little coat suits of lace, or any material much elaborated, a square effect is very smart, the chemisette soming up to within ah inch of the base of the neck. : If you would have a fashionable morning gown copy one of the following : Here come mother and daughter in eor- rect morning dress. Madam wears a white pique with a many gored skirt, and a long Russian blouse of apparently as many gores, The breadths and seams run up and down in narrow sections. ‘A white belt encircles her slender waist, and ber head is crowned with a beautiful shade hat of pale clover- pink or amethyst straw Milanese braids. Around the flat crown goes a wreath of dainty roses, all pale colors, to harmonize with the subdued tint of the big hat. White, blush pink and pale yellow Mare- chal Neil are the roses. There is no foliage visible. The hat is bent up here and there to suit the face of its owner. A white chiffon veil is tied over the lady’a face. She carries a white parasol lined with clover- pink or purplish taffeta. The daughter is taller and broader than the slim mother, evidently a product of the new generation of girls bred up with plenty of out door exercise. Golf or tennis per- haps has made her a ‘daughter of the gods divinely tall,”’ and so, an able exponent of the new fashions which are all meant for tall young women. She wears a tailor made linen frock, gky blue in color, and as plain as plain can be except at the throat where the neck has been cut out, and filled in with a close fisting high collar ‘‘spenzer’’ of cluny lace. The neckband is wired with white milliners’ wire to make it stand np. These wires must be drawn out when the dress goes to the Iaundress to be scoured. A little round haf of coarsely braided dark blue straw, with a high glaze, has the brim slightly turned back from the face. A great bunch of blue corn flowers is placed at the front of the has. They swirl over the top of the crown and out at each side. For day wear long chains of dall black beads that wind two or three times around the neck and hang below the waist are the last ory in watch chains. As to the heads, they are big and round, long or oval or in- terspersed with little beads. ie 2] ‘To: Preserve Brass Orpaments.—Brass ornaments, when not gilt or lacquered, may be cleaned and a fine color given to them by two simple processes. The first is to beat salammoniac into a fine powder, then to moisten it with soft water. rubbing it on the ornaments, which: must be heated, and rubbed dry with bran and whitening. The second is to wash the brasswork with rook alum boiled in a strong lye, in the propor- tion of 1 oz. toa pint; when dry it must be rubbed with tripoli. Either of these pro- cesses will give brass the brillianoy of gold. fn. It is whispered that the pouched.front must go, and that the newest long skirt suits for antumn will be without it. '' The accentuated drooping shoulder effect will continue to be one of the salient points of the autumn: shirtwaist. The puff below the elbow is not nearly so exaggerated among the sleeves of the new autamn shirt waists as it was upon those of thinner sum- mer stuffs. Though tucks be as old as any form of trimming they are in the height of vogue. ‘They figure in all sorts of mater- als. ang range from a pin to an inch in width. To dust with a feather duster is not to dust as all, but simply to change the base of the dust, not to mention risking death by swallowing or getting it into slight wounds on: the hands. Tr Don’ts for a Young Wite.—Don’t weep in the presence of your husband ; weeping irritates him or makes him helpless, ‘and if he is helpless he is provoked with himself. Don’t cling to him ' too tight, even an 1 may be tiresome when one can never get out of theshadow of its wings, Don’t show him all the letters youn get, he does not show you bis, so undoubtedly he believes in reciprocity. fl Don’t imagine that love makes up all his life. Give him plenty of rope, he may love you ever 80 much, but he doesn’t like to eel the pull of apron strings: : Don’t ask questions. He will tell yon voluntarily what he wants to. Don’t explain. Explanations are; tire- some. If you make mistakes profit hy them and say nothing. Take mishaps merrily. Men like women with a sense of humor. Don’t pont. If he forgets an engagement and apologizes, treat it as a joke, and he will love you ten times more. Naver take offense if it is possible to avoid it. Don’t nag. There is always a woman who doesn’t. If you differ on things don’t dispute them; agree to disagree. = Make him understand by the surest means at command that he is the finest man in the world, but never let him forget that there are others almost as fine. Don’t be jealous; give him the benefit of the doubts. He will seoretly thank you. Be unselfish, even if he is not. Don’t shirk your responsibilities. PNT ‘Castoria. ““Castoria. Brain Leaks.

Little Girl Rescues Boy. Freed From His Grasp She Held Him Up By the Ear. Ortha Huyck, 11 years old, daughter of the Proprietor of the Glenada, at Sea Cliff, N. J., is a heroine. But for her coniage and nerve Albin Unger, son of Samuel Un- ger, of New York, would be dead. ; The children all went bathing together at the end of the beach, near Glen Cove oreek, Saturday afternoon. Ortha, notio- ‘ing that the boy who is about her own age, wens ous further than was prudent, warn, ed him about the chaunel. ' A minute af- terward the boy shrieked and the girl saw thas he had stepped ont into deep water. She immediately swam to his rescue and when he came up she grasped him. The boy, panio stricken, seized her by the neck in a death grip, and she saw that they would hoth be drowned if he did not let go. She pushed and slapped him: until he loosened his hold and sank again. When the boy came up she seized him by the ear, and keeping as far from him as possible held him up until Otto Smith, an employe rescue. } : » re A doctor worked over the boy three hours before he regained consciousness.
