Bellefonte, Pa., August 28 1903 FARM NOTES. —An observer of Danish methods of raising calves on skim milk states that the calves shounid at all times have in troughs lumps of salt and chalk, the claim being that sconrs is sometimes due to too much acidity, which is neutralized by the chalk and salt. A successful American dairy- man keeps a jug of lime water, addinga teaspoonful of lime water and a little salt to every pint of milk. As one-halt the losses of calves raised on skim milk maybe ascribed to scours, these points may be worthy of notice. —Filty bushels of sunflower seeds to the acre is considered a fair yield ; and this will produce 50 gallons of oil, worth one dollar a gallon. . About 20 bushels per acre is the average. When mixed with other grains the seeds are relished by all farm animals, and are especially good for fowls. Good results are obtained by feed- ing Russian sunflower seeds to horses, hogs and other stock. The feeding of this re- quires an exercise of judgment, as the seeds are very rich in oil, and shouid be mixed or combined with bran. —Potatoes are ready for digging as soon as the tops fall down. It is best to dig them early in the day and allow them to remain on the ground for a few hours, when they should be taken to the farm and stored in a cool, dark, dry place; but it is not advisable to place too many in a single heap. All diseased or injured potatoes should be removed from the lot, or they will have more or less effect upon the whole, as they will be the first to decay. Pota- toes may be stored in mounds during the winter, but are not easily utilized in that condition. —Teachers and farmers, teach the boys and girls to be henest and upright in every sense, but by all means teach them to work. It won’t hurt them to do a little farm work. Send them to college if you can, but let’s keep all the college boys and girls on the farm that we can, and then the farmer’s interests will be looked after bet- ter. We will have better schools, better churches and better society. Insist on try- ing to keep the boys on the farm after they have received their education. They can keep the farm books and will lend an air of intelligence to the town. We need more educated people on the farms, then we will have less boys and girls going to the cities from the farms.—J. O. Gates, io Farm and Home. —Millets bave an important place in the forage rotation becauge they grow rapidly, mature early and may be seeded at any time from May until August. Three species of the Japanese millets—namely, broom coin, barnyard and Italian, original- ly imported by the Massachusetts Agricul- tural college, have heen tested and found very desirable at the New Jersey experi- ment station. Of these varieties the barn- yard has proved the moet profitable, the yield ranging from eight to eleven tons per aore. This crop will be ready for feeding from forty to filty days after seeding. Pear] millet has also been tested. This variety makes enormous yields—fifteen tons per acre have been secured. When in full head it is from eight to twelve feet in height. Yet itis a very succulent and palatable fodder. Pearl millet is much more watery in its character than the other varieties mentioned and does not mature as rapidly. For these reasons it is not as desirable as the barnyard variety. —TUnless a lawn is seeded to grasses that can endure constant mowing, as well as re- main green during a dry season, it be- comes unsightly instead of ornamental. When seeded down in the spring it becomes at times necessary to grow oats, wheat or some grain orop on the lawn, in order to ghelter the young grass from the effects of the noonday sun in dry weather. This may be avoided if the seed is sown in the fall. August being a suitable month, as for several years the rains have been usually plentiful, and the young grass is not then so easily overrun with weeds. Should the grass noi make a good ‘‘catoh’’ the ground may again be seeded over in the spring by simply scratching the surface witha rake, but it is seldom that seed sown in August or September fails, if a plentiful supply of seed be used and the ground properly prepared. Tt is customary to use a mixed seed for lawns, which is proper, but sometimes too many kinds are used, and the best grasses are crowded out by those not so desirable. Blue grass alone makes an excellent lawn grass, but blue grass and white clover, equal proportions of seed of each, are suf- ficient. and the seed should be used liberal- 1y, four ounces to the square rod not being too much as some of the seed will fail to germinate, while birds and parasites will destroy a proportion. The lawn plot should be firs spaded (or plowed, if very large), and raked over until the soil is made as fine as possible. Lime, at the rate of forty bushels per acre, should be broadcasted over the plot, the ground roll- ed and the seed sown. The ground may then be simply brushed over, so as to bare- ly cover the seed, or the seed may be sown and rolled down. No other work will be necessary until spring, and the grass will thicken every year. Blue grass is capable of withstanding considerable drought, and though apparently dead, if the drought is continued, it takes new life after the slight- est shower. It is not so easily injured by trampling as some other grasses, and does not grow in stools, or tussocks, as is the case with orchard grass, while its appear- ance is a deep green. White clover is also hardy, and as its leaves differ entirely from those of blue grass, the two kinds answer all the purposes of a lawn, and will thrive well together. The fall is the time to manure the lawn, as the frost will pulverize the manure and render it fine. If fresh manure is applied in the spring it will sometimes do injury, unless before frost disappears. The ma- mure used in spring, if any, should be well rotted. Re-seed all bare places as soon as the grass begins to grow, and in April ap- ply potash in some form liberally, as both blue grass and white clover delight in lime and potash. Do not be tempted to mow the grass too early in the spring,bust give it time to become well rooted before the first cutting. Mowing will then keep down the weeds. An application of saltpetre, -early in the spring, at the rate of a pound per square rod, will also prove advanta- geous, If all the grassseed usually sown were to germinate there would be ahous 200 plants to the square foot. It takes abont 74,000 seeds of timothy to weigh an ounce. Careful experiments have shown that timothy seed covered by two inches of dirt cannot shoot into growth. Covered from three-quarters to an inch only about one-half of the good seeds will come forth. Red cloverseed cannot get through two inches of covering and other small seeds have even more difficulty in thas respeot, /hence do not cover the seed but lightly. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. To strap or not to strap (not the kiddies, but our autumn raiment) is not the ques- tion. It is all settled—we must strap! First, because Dame fashion says so, and, second, because we like strapping. (The second ‘‘because’” comes last as a mere matter of politeness.) The more one con- siders strapping the more does one wonder that the feminine world stroggied along so long without it. Upon second thought, though, strapping appeared along with the necessity for it, like most other things. While the gentler half was a sors of mod- ernized, Christianized, new world edition of the harem she needed only ribbons, and laces and frills generally, but with her emancipation the new woman found her old togs quite inadequate. Not that the strap was found an inevitable adjunct fo her liberty, but rather that some plain sort of adornment became a necessity, for trim she must, whate’er her color or previous condition. Besides straps seems the best possible finish. What more smart and simple for catching together vlaits or bor- dering a rig that must lose character by any fussiness ? If you are choosing a whole suit, do not get a three-quarter coat without a flare, covered with stitched bands, short-waisted in the back, with belt run through mar- tingales. You recognize the style at once ? Haven’t you seen enough of tuem to wonder how so many of them could be made in so short a time ? There is no doubt that the long coat will remain fashionable through the fall, and if you want one, get the genuine Rus- sian blouse, with its fitted skirts that flare above the knees, and its blouse buttoned at side or down front, stitched bands, with shoulders trimmed in a circular design, if at all, and moderate sleeves, slightly flar- ing at wrists without ouffs. More and more are business women learning to understand that their dress can- not be too severely plain for becomingness. A total absence of jewelry should mark it first. The shirtwaist should be very plain, and, if not either black or white, should be of the quietest coloring and pattern. Her skirt, preferably of black mohair or some such material that will shake off the dust, should just clear the ground all the way around. Trains in a place of business are distinctly out of place. Her hair will be neatly arranged so as to ‘“‘stay done.’”” The big, drooping pompa- dours and fluffy locks, which quickly be- come disheveled or else require endless ad- justment to keep them looking right, should also be tabooed. No woman whose mind is fixed on her personal appearance can make a success of her work. She sel- don performs it in a manner acceptable to her employer. On shoes a good deal might be written. They should be chosen with a view to their wearing qualities rather than to their stylishness. They should have good, com- mon sense heels and should be broad enough to insure comfort during the long working hours. These things denote the business woman who never lacks for employment. To be in the height of the mode our dresses should appear to be a size or so too large for us. That old conundrum about the baggy coat being reminiscent of two French towns, Toulon and Toulouse, is constantly recalled as fair ones, young and old, are noted with unnecessary material in their dresses. As for overdoing the so- called shoulder breadth, the very state- ment is absurd, as the real shoulders have nothing to do with the thing. One may note plenty of waists in which the top of the sleeve not only does not fit over the shoulder, as sleeve tops were certainly de- signed to do, but does not reach the point by four inches—is actually sewed in that distance down on the arm. This means thas the shoulders of the waist are about eight inches too broad. To such extremes do we allow ourselves to he led. Naturally, we do not stop here. The sleeves are the next temptation, and just how rightfully we have flown to this temp- tation is evidenced on every side. The only good thing about this hysterical fol- lowing of fashion is that it dies of its own overdose. There is really no limit to the ahsurdity of the pilling-on process that has been followed in sleeves. This desire for amplitude bas reached even the belt, though not in a way to in- crease the inches around the zone. Very deep girdles are liked. When the belt ie narrow the gathered material above and below juts out in most abundant fashion. The trouble about the hair is that care is usually misapplied. Energy is put into brushing it instead of the scalp. Brush the scalp more, but don’t brush ' the hair less. Hair has certain length of life. When the end of that time comes, it falls out, and if the scalp is in good condition new hair comes in its place. The scalp should be brushed with rather a soft brush. Use the fingers also in massaging, to stimulate the circulation. You can look taller by holding yourself erect without the least bending of the knees, which must be drawn in firmly, but not held tensely. This ereotness of pose can be acquired without stiffness by practice. Draw the hips well back and throw out the chest. Carry the head high and well poised. Reach up with the right arm, as though trying to touch the ceiling, then with both arme. This exercise lengthens the line from the waist up. The autumn suits are not remarkable for grace, and many of us are going to look like scarecrows in them. The skirts look pathetically plain, after the frills and rof- fles and sun-pleats of summer, and the coats have none of the swing and swirl of the irresponsible looking garments that bave adorned the feminine form divine for many moons past. One suit of gray tweed of the roughest and wiriest kind has a coat that fits like the proverbial paper on the wall, from its collar to its hem, the former of which reaches almost to the ears of the wearer and the latter almost to the instep. It buttons tightly across the front to the waist line and then falls flat and straight for the rest of its considerable length. This suit is desoribed as characteristic of the season’s styles, not because of its intrinsic beauty.

Concerning the Effects of Sugar is getting into the hygienists’ gocd graces. Instead of being frowned upon as the cause of indigestion, bad teeth, and general ill-health, it is now regarded asa valuable food substance by most physicians. Not by all, however, for, as we are inform- ed by a writer in the Drogistische Rund- schau, while some of them maintain that sugar is of great service to the human body, strengthening the digestion and pre- venting undue acidity, others declare that even its moderate use is injurious to both the stomach and the teeth, while its exces- sive use developes diabetis. Says the au- thor of the article just mentioned, which is translated for the Natural Druggist (July). “Old and famous doctors, like Hufeland and Heim, declaze that a moderate use of sugar stimulates digestion and prevents fermentation in she stomach, while an ex- cessive indulgence in the article has an in- jurious effect on the digestive faculties, as it causes the formation of an excess of lactic acid, which makes itself apparent in the secretions, especially in the saliva, and in this manner produced an injurious effect on the teeth. ‘‘Latter-day physicians, those represent- ing the latest phases of medical knowledge, declare with great positiveness that sugar causes acidity of the stomach only when ingested in small quantities into a stomach already acid or inclined to acidity, when the lactic-acid fermentation seizes upon is and carries it along with it. If, however, the sugar is used in larger quantities ib overcomes the fermentation and stops it.” “The latest investigations have in truth demonstrated that lactic-acid fermentation is stopped by an excess of sugar; but, to the disappointment of pie-eateas and bon- bon devotees, it must be stated that this effect is produced only when the substance is absolutely pure. In this condition it seems to make no difference whether the sugar be eaten solid, in the shape of lumps, or dissolved in pure water, Sugar excites the secretions of the stomach, increases di- gestion of albuminous matters and of nu- tritives containing iron and lime, a fact which proves that under proper conditions sugar is a remedy against anemia, chlor- osis, and in sorofula. *“This explains the love of a great many children for sugar in the lump, who after- ward, as they grow older, avoid ' plain sugar, or sugar by itself, almost entirely. It seems to be a sort of instinct with chil- dren with weak bones and thin blood. As early as 1878 Dr. Bockel recommended, in his writings, sugar as the best and most powerful remedy in rachitis (‘rickets’). According to the theory advanced by him, the sugar given in such cases sets up an alcoholic fermentation, which overcomes the lactic acid present in excess and thus prevents the escape of the bone-building salts.” According to the writer, the idea that sugar causes bad teeth is an altogether mis- taken one. The teeth of the negroes in the tropics are dazzling white and sound. On sugar plantations in Cuba, Louisiana, and elsewhere, all the negroes run down with labor or sickness grow sleek, fat, and strong again on the return of the sugar barvest solely by chewing the cane. Eug- lishmen and Americans eat more sugar than the French and she Germans, and yet they have better teeth than the latter. He goes on to say : ‘‘After participating in many kinds of food, sugar seems toact as a digester, and the heaviness often felt after a hearty meal is frequently relieved by drinkinga glass of sugar-water. The famous Hufe- land, in his book ‘Makroblotik’ (i. e.. on long life), sing a hymn of praise to sugar, and recommends plenty of sugar to all who have to eat coarse, heavy food. It is better he states, for lean persons than fat ones. ‘“When we find that cake-bakers and millers habitually have bad teeth it is nat- ural to charge the fact to the use of sugar or of flour. Rather asoribe it to the lack of those people, which permits particles of food to remain between the teeth and thus further decomposition. If they used the brush frequently and properly they would have as good teeth as anybody.’ First Visit to Sea Town Fatal. The first visit of William McGuire, of Pittshurg, to Atlancti City was attended with a fatal accident. While attempting to turn a somersaults on the beach he struck his head on a stone and broke his neck. He was taken to the City hospital, where one side of his body became paralyzed, and little hope is entertained for his recovrey. ccceee A 88888 TTTTT 0000 RRRRR II A C A 8 T.. 0 0 R BR.
