FARM NOTES.
—For many reasons fall planting is pref-
erable to spring planting. There is much
more time to do the work properly. The
roots gets firmly established daring the
winter. ~ The tree or shrub is then in con-
dition for immediate growth on the open-
ing of spring. Nearly all deciduous trees
and shrubs can be shipped and transplant.
ed in autumn to advantage; also roses in
the open ground, when slightly : protected
with suitable mulohing. 1 REED
—Farm and garden tools should be put
in thorough order before they are put away
for the winter. The iron and steel portions
should be cleaned and rubbed bright, and
then receive a thin coating of grafting wax,
tallow or any substance. that will prevent
rusting. The parts made of wood will be
made ‘more durable by a copious applica-
tion of petroleam if unpainted or if the
paint ie worn’ off, afterward one or two
coats of , pains will complete the work of
protection. :
—The insect which deposits the" eggs
which hatch the peach borers is a wasp-
like insect; with transparent wings and a
richly-ornamented body,handed and striped
with gold, which deposits its eggs about
the base of the rank. The eggs hatch out,
the larvae bore into thesap-wood and cause
an exudation of gummy matter, which ap-
pears in masees about the base of the tree.
The larvae seems partly to live in this
gummy substance and partly in the sap-
wood of the tree. Sometimes three or four
are found on the same tree; occasionally
girdling and destroying it, but always in-
ducing more or less of a diseased condition
and impairing its vigor. Altogether it is a
very objectionable and destructive insect,
and the eggs are deposited both in the fall
and spring. : :
—Relative to the cost of milk, a large
Shorthorn cow requires: much more food
than a moderate-size, and in estimating
the economical Ayrshire, and in estimat-
ing the cost of the milk of each from the
food consumed 14 quarts of Ayrshire milk
could be produced for 20 cents a day with
comparatively high feeding, while 16 quarts
of Shorthorn milk may cost 34 cents. with
the same kind of feed, but given in larger
rations. Ayrshire milk would cost less
than 1% cents per quart for the food, while
Shorthorn milk costs 2} cents the quart.
To determine the question which is the
best cow to keep for a milk dairy so far as
the case in point at least requires consid-
eration of the tendency of the breed to pro-
duce milk or beef. Individuals differ in
characteristics, however, and comparisons
are made with difficulty.
—We must keep in mind the fact that
when corn is a foot high the roots fill the
soil between the rows, and to cut them off
checks the growth. Cultivation after that
time should always be shallow. Have the
soil loose so that rains will run in instead
of off and break up the crust as soon as ib
is dry enough to work, as this will check
wasteful evaporation from the surface. A
farmer with whom I was acquainted inour-
red the wrath of his hired man by baving
run the cultivator again and again through
. the corn during a severe drought, while the
neighbors were resting on their oars wait-
ing for rain to come. ‘‘What, run that
thing through the corn again? You might
as well run it in the big road.” “Well, I
guess we’ll work thecorn a leetle more,
but’’—He had the only crop of corn in that
section of country. When in doubt wheth-
er you have cultivated the corn enough it
will always pay to work it a ‘“leetle more.”
—Cor. Ohio Farmer.
—The first duty of the farmer who de-
sires to succeed with poultry is to know
the breeds and the best purpose for which
each should be applied. As the breeds
differ in their characteristics, each is better
adapted for some special purpose than any
other, yet each may be deficient in some
respecs. There is no ‘‘perfect’’ breed. The
‘‘best’’ breed is best for some special use
only. It may be the largest and yes not
the best in quality of flesh. It may be the
best for laying and yet be lacking in hard-
iness, size or for the table. It may be
hardy and vigorous, more easily escaping
disease than some, yet fail to equal anoth-
er breed in laying. It may excel as a non-
sitter, while another breed may be neo-
essary to provide the mothers for the next
generation. If a ‘‘best’’ breed—a ‘‘gen-
eral purpose’’ one, that combines every-
thing that could be desired in a breed—
should be introduced there would conse-
quently exist only one breed, as it would
soon crowd all others out of existence, for,
whether the breeds’ may be preferred for
their beauty of plumage, or to afford pleas-
ure, utility will always be dominant as a
desire and will regulate the selection of
breeds.
—In many sections it is not until spring
arrives that the work of cleaning the field
begins, and then hurry ensues. While the
decayed weeds and grass covering the roots
of the plants may serve asa mulch, and
partially protect against the severity of the
winter, the question comes up as to the
cost. Apparently it is cheaper to allow
the weeds to grow and remain, if they are
valued as mulching material, as no labor is
required in their use, but weeds are very
expensive and very costly if the matter be
viewed from an economical standpoint.
The storing of the material for the produc-
tion of next year’s crop of fruit goes onin
vines now, and the greater portion of the
effort of reproduction is when the condi-
tions of heat and moisture are most favor-
able. Some plants bear fruit before the
sumwer comes on, hut it is during the
summer that the growth of new canes and
vines is greatest. All the elements of
growth come from the soil, and as no plant
will thrive as well under competition as
without itis is plain that the weeds simply
rob the plants not only of nourishment, but
also of moisture. When they die in the
fall they do not return to the soil that
which is derived from it, as during the
process of decomposition much of the
nitrogenous matter is dissipated in the at-
mosphere. The duty should be to culti-
vate between the rows of strawberries, rasp-
berries and blackberries, thinning ont the
surplus plants and either hoeing or hand-
pulling the weeds. If some kind of win-
ter covering be needed it is more economical
to use salt hay or some cheap material that
can be easily applied. It is also best to cus
back the tops of tall canes. If growth is
to be made let it be of laterals. It is much
better to cut hack early than to wait until
the plant has wasted energy in producing
vines that must be removed in the spring.
All the energy saved now will be brought
into use nexs spring in the effort to pro-
duce frnit, which will then be of hetter
quality.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
A variation-of she popular Russian style
suitable for either a little girl or boy, has
a full blouse front, fastening over on the
left side under the usual strap. An at-
tached full skirt under a belt is its novel
feature. :
pn
Some mixtures of . fruit served in an
orange basket or a banana skin are pret-
tiest in a setting of smilax or fern.
To be entirely up-to-date one must sure-
ly have a heliotrope house gown and one
of the darker plum shades for street wear
this season. The Louis XIV sleeve is one
of the popular new sleeve models and
means a return to the use of short lace frill-
ings and orepe lisse in the edge of sleeves.
Yokes, both round and square, appear up:
on many of the new autumn blouses. A
twenty-two gored skirt isthe *‘limit’” in
extreme skirt models.
The Princess idea predominates in the
dressier styles of gowns,
Heavy blue mohair in the deep corn.
flower shade makes a very charming walk-
ing suit, the blouse and skirt being more
or less box pleated. A very slender girl is
wearing such a suit with a white kid belt
and white kid-covered buttons in double-
breasted effect. These are also on the skirt
to' the depth of the yoke. Her necktie is
of white’ silk, spotted with black, while
her straw turban in deep blue basa brim
composed of cornflowers, A perky pair of
black wings are at the left front. The en-
semble is very smars; and the costume will
be effective late into the fall. :
This splendid blue is good also in taffeta,
and in Lousine. It is so serviceable. When
a thing is serviceable as well as smart it is
likely to be adopted without question.
Blue in one shade or another is. certain to
be in great favor, even if it be not the par-
ticular color upon which Dame Fashion
sets the seal of her particular favor. Blue
is too becoming and too useful ever to be
lost to favor.
As the season draws toa close shirt-
waists of fancy vestings in severe tailor
modes grow in favor. There are basket
weaves, fancy designs in black-and-white
and Zolors and white, all with a mercerized
nish.
You asked me what kind of oruament is
worn in the hair with evening dress. Pretty
nearly everything, I should say. An ex-
cessive number of silver leaves is a very
favorite decoration. They do not look at
all refined when piled up above the fore-
head. Small wreaths of green leaves are
much worn, and a young duchess wore one
of these and had a green fan that exaotly
matched it, the rest of her dress being
black. In a catogan coiffure the flowers
were a small wreath of pink banksia roses
curved just above the catogan. A middle-
aged woman with dark hair wore a large
wieath of white flowers. She would prob-
ably have looked much younger without
it. A very remarkable head was to be seen
in the stalls ‘one night. From a back view
it was exactly like the business end of a
tennis-bat, and at the left side of the point
where the latter curves into the bandle
was a large, full-blown pink rose, with
full-sized leaves hanging down on the neck.
The top of the widespread mass of dry and
crimpy hair appeared to be powdered with
gold dust. The whole head had a remark-
able appearance. .
No one who has eaten genuine German
fritters will ever be quite content with our
American methods of preparation. Even
our best recipes for ‘‘fluffy fritters” will
not produce the delicate yes rich morsels
that the Germans produce unless we un-
derstand the secret of mixing.
The fritter, pure and simple, is very
popular in Germany, and is both economical
and an excellent dessert. A simple way to
prepare puffed fritters is to boil one cup of
gether. The moment the water boils stir
in a heaped cup of well-sifted flour. Con-
tinue stirring, holding the bottom of the
dish from the stove to prevent the paste
burning. When ‘the paste cleaves from
the sides of the dish it is done. Add three
eggs, one by one, beating each one in.
Take off a teaspoonful of the paste and fry
it in hot fas. .
The fritters may be varied according to
American taste by the addition of ‘various
fruits or meats to the prepared fritter paste,
and when the secret of the mixing is once
understood they will be equally delicious
whether served in the form of ‘clam fritters
for the meat dish or a sweetened fruit frit-
ter served with sauce for dessert.
The small-pox scare has oreated a de-
‘mand for whitewash at this season. Housre-
wives are not waiting for the time of the
purifying agent, but, with the vigilant eye
on general cleanliness, the cellars and sheds
are receiving a fresh coat of summer whiten-
ing.
Shen the plain white or the tinted
whitewash is used in place of paper for
ceilings or walls in the ‘‘girl’s room’’ it
can be made to work very smoothly by the
addition of a little lard. Mix a lamp of
lard the size of an egg ina pail of white-
wash while it is warm. It will be surpris-
ing to discover how much easier it is to pu
it on the wall surface, and how free it is
from the lumps and streaks that usually
follow the whitewash brush. The lard
should also be added to the whitewash in-
tended for the cellar walls, as it is so eas-
ily applied that it will’ pay for the extra
care in preparation.
It is rnmored, that sloping shoulders
will be the rage next season, but instead of
the pelerine the effect will be skillfully
produced by the sleeve and yoke being cut
in one.
Already many of the latest tailor coats
seen at the Deauville races have shown
this new effect, the sleeve being pleated
from neck to wrist.
An experi informs ue that the three-piece
tunic coat suit is not only the smart and
new thing just now, but will be the thing
next spring. Economists will naturally
lend their ears, not to mention investing
their cash.
A description of this sartorial wonder in
economy and elegance is in order. ' It is
made of black broadcloth. Each of the
eight gores of the skirt forms a pleat, and
is held in place by black velvet-covered
buttons. The smart svelte bolero is finish-
ed by buttoned capes over the sleeves,
which slope into a box pleat at the back.
This in turn appears under a shaped belt
of stitched panne. To all appearances
there’s a skirt to this little coat. But such
is really not the case, as this skirt. which
buttons down the sides, is on a separate
belt. This makes of it a stunning winter
rig. All there’s to do come spring (tra,
la!) is to leave off the skirts of the coat
regular autumn cleaning for applying this
Castoria.

Best Time Around the World.
Henry Frederick Makes Trip in 54 Days, 7 Hours and
20 Minutes.
Henry Frederick, who left New York
city on July 2, on thesteamer Deutschland
for a tour around the world, with the hope
of breaking the record for the shortest time
consumed in encircling the globe, returned
to New York Wednesday night in the Fred-
erick. He had been successful in his en-
deavor,having made the circuit in 54 days 7
hours and 20 minutes. In speaking of his
trip, hesaid :
*‘My object in making the trip was to
see the ¢unickest time a man could go
around the world comfortably. The train
ride from Paris to Dalny, China, consumed
18 days. Two days were spent in crossing
the Yellow sea and two more by rail across
cold water and one-half cup of butter so- | JAPA

‘At Yokohama I missed my steamer by
10 hours and lost seven days, as I was com-
pelled to take a slow boat two days later
which spent 6 days on the Pacific. I land-
ed at Victoria and crossed the continent in
little over 4days. This, with the Deuntsch-
land’s fast time of six days across the At-
lantio, made my record of 54 days.”’
Mr. Frederick said that he found the line
of the trans-Siberian railroad swarming with
Russian troops, who were being poured in-
to Manchuria at the rate of 1,000 a day. *
At Port Arthur were concentrated 37
warships of all classes. In Japan he found
the feeling for war with Russia running
high and active preparations being made
for hostilities.
Back From Eternity’'s Brink.
Reprieve Arrived as Black Cap Was Being Drawn.
_Sam Stiles, the negro preacher, sentenced
to be hanged at Cuero, Tex., on Wednes-
day for murder, was respited for two days
by Governor Lenham, but it was about as
close a call as a human being ever bad.
The message came to the sheriff as he
was lowering the black cap over his face.
He was standing on the trap, his feet and
arms tied. He had made his speech, pro-
testing his innocence and shaken hands
with his friends when the message reading :
“At the request of Judge Wilson, I bave
respited Sam Stiles for two day,” was
banded the sheriff.
The interest and excitement were intense
After hearing his talk the sentiment is di-
vided as to his guilt.
——Lawyer John Fow is telling this
story with great gusto: An estimable
woman who lives out in the Fairmount
distriot recently had a telephone installed
in her house. On the day the linemen ad-
justed the wire she was feeling under the
weather as a result of eating green apples.
After the connection had been made and
the men had gone, the girl at the central
station called np, saying: ‘‘I’ll give von
your number if you’re ready.” ‘Hey ?”’
called back the new subscriber, who was
nearly doubled up with cramps. :‘8:1.2
Green,” replied the operator. ‘Oh! I
ate one too green, did I1?”’ retorted the
sufferer. ‘‘Well, I don’t know how you
guessed it, but it’s none of your business
if I did—you hussy !”’
—— William Murray, of Rockton, Som-
erville county, is in hard luck and appears
to have grounds for the belief that some
enemy is pursuing him. On the night of
July 14th his barn was burned. A few
nights later a valuable cow disappeared
from ber stable, and on Sunday night his
house, with all its contents, was destroyed,
the members of the family barely escaping
with their lives.
——D. W. Woods, Eeq., president of
the Mifflin county National bank, Lewis-
town, recently celebrated his 81st birth-
day and was presented by his associates in
the bank with a loving cup in honor of the
event.
