Bellefonte, Pa., October 16, 1903 ESAS RAL, FARM NOTES. —It you trust too muoh to pasture, dry weather may make havoc with your prof- its. Keep the cow stables whitewashed and have no manure about to impart its ef- flavia to the milk. —A good wash for trees is made by add- ing one quart of soap to two gallons of water, and when the mixture 1s heated add a pint of crude carbolic acid. The odor of the carbolic acid is enduring, and is es- pecially distasteful to insects. —If there are any draughts of air along the floor of the barn or stable the cause may be the openings near the foundation. Bank up with earth and trample it down firmly. Should the weather become cold sprinkle with water and the earth will freeze on the surface and become hard, af- fording an excellent protection against cold draughts. —Never fasten the nests to the walls. No poultry house can be kept clean of lice so long as the nests remain in a position that prevents their being thoroughly clean- ed, and to do this properly they should be taken outside of the house. The nests are the harboring piaces of lice and need over- bauling oftener than anything else in the poultry house. Ordinary soap and candle boxes make the best nest boxes. —The codling moth larvae, or ‘‘apple worm,’ can be best captured by winding bandages of heavy paper or cloth around the body of the tree. The worms, after leaving the apples which they have caused to fall, ascend the tree to pass into the chrysalid stage of their existence, and if they can be captured by the bandages and killed the tree will soon be rid of the pests. All fruit thas falls prematurely should be picked up every day and given to the hogs or, if convenient, let the hogs be turned into the orchard for a short time each day, and the worms will be destroyed before having opportunity to leave the fruit. —The girdling, or ringing, of grapevines is done to increase the size of each cluster. It is not practiced exclusively, however,al- though some find the method profitable. The bark is entirely removed below the frait cluster about a month before the period of ripening, which hastens ripening about a week or two in advance, and en- larges tbe bunch and berries. The sap ascends through the pores of the wood to sustain growth, but the elaborated sap descends through the wood and the bark, and can go no lower than the point as which the girdle is made, where it stops and is utilized in feeding the grapes. Some injury is done the vine below the girdle, and it may not pay to girdle on an exten- sive scale. —For the benefit of those who have been caused a great deal of anxiety by a balky horse, lost trains as well as tempers, and even sometimes ruived the horse. We will give our readers a remedy which, no mat- ter how bad he is, will start such a horse 99 times out of 100. Of course it may fail one time in a hundred. When a horse balks, no matter how badly he sulks or bow ugly he is, do not beat him; don’t throw sand in his ears; don’t use a rope on his forelegs or even burn straw under him. Quietly go and pat him on the head a moment; take a bammer or even pick up a stone in the street; tell the driver to sit still, take his lines, hold them quietly, while you life up either front foot; give each nail a light tap and a good smart tap on the frog; drop the foob quickly, and then chirp to him to go. In 99 cases out of 100 the horse will go right on about his business, but the driver must keep his lines taut and not pull or jerk him back. If I have tried this once I have tried it 500 times, and every time I have suggested it people have laughed and even bet $5 and bottles of wine that I could not doit. So far I have won every bet. This may make you smile, but a horse has more common sense than most people are willing to give him credit for. The secret of this little trick is simply diversion. Iam a firm be- liever that with kindness and proper treas- ment a horse can be driven with a string. —Although on most farms the hogs are pushed forward after the fall is nearly over, they are not always put up in a condition in which to facilitate the fattening opera- tion. The true way to use cornis to ‘finish off’’ with it, thereby hardening the fat. To really fatten a hog he should be fed in such a manner, previous to being pennped, as to force growth. First build up the frame for the reception of the meat that may be laid upon it, and to do so feed such food as wiil not only forward growth but keep the animal in a condition that will entail but little expense when the time ar- rives for getting him fat. And to do this in the most economical manner pumpkins, beets, turnips, carrots, winter squashes and parsnips, together with finely-cut clover hay, may be fed with good results. It will not do, however, to feed such substances in a wasteful manner. A caldron or steamer should be used for cooking a large quantity of roots, and a warm feed should be given early in the morning, the mass first thickened with one part bran and two ~ parts ground oats. At noon a feed com- posed solely of chopped roots, fed raw, but not too cold, will be sufficient. At night they should receive a slop, slightly warm, composed of ground oats, one part, and corn, with a little bran to somewhat thick- en the slop. Such food will not only keep the hogs in good health but will be the cheapest diet at this season that can be al- lowed, as it will rapidly push them for- ward while the weather is not severe. The hogs will become very fat, and need be fed corn in large quantities only for two weeks before being slaughtered. It should nos be overlooked that the sweetest and ten- derest meat is always produced when the process of fattening is done quickly, and if this is followed but little exercise need be allowed the hogs. Exercise always bard- ens the muscles, and the hog is no excep- tion to the rule; consequently the more exercise taken the tougher the meat. While it may, no doubt, be advisable to permit of some exercise, for the sake of keeping the animals in health, yet the hogs that quietly eat their food and take their ress will always fatten readily. Nor should bogs be surfeited with food. They should be so fed as to receive it at regular hours, and in such quantity that they will eat it up clean, but no more. In October or November they can be better managed than later in the season, as the quarters can then be more easily cleaned. It does not pay to keep a hog during winter. It should be slanghtered as soon as the weath- er is cold enough, for the food is partially wasted dnring the winter months in pro- viding heat. This is avoided in she fall season, and the hogs shonld he made fat now. When the cold season sets in let them he quickly finished on corn then slaughtered as soon as possible. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Anybody who has kept track of the new autumn millinery knows that almost every other trimming has had to step aside to make room for graceful curling ostrich plumes. Pale blue is considered a becoming color to wear with gray bair. A black velvet bonnet in a sort of a toque shape has a decoration of pale blue orchids on one side and a twist of blue velvet where the lace strings are attached. ‘‘People with short, broad feet should never wear high-heeled shoes (though they almost invariably seem to do 80,) as these force the weight of the foot forward upon the ball of the toe, thereby causing it to spread even wider than nsunal. They shonld be careful to choose as narrow a make of shoe as is comfortable—one cut on long lines and having nothing in the way of ornamentation that does not give narrow- ness, but not too pointed an effect, or the toe of the shoe will assume an undesirable triangular appearance. ‘‘People whose feet are too long should be careful to avoid a lengthy vamp, and should, if possible, wear Louis XVI heels (which need not necessarily be high ones, ) thereby assuring a raised instep,and avoid- ing the unbroken line of sole set flat upon the pavement. A great difference in the apparent length can be made by having the buckle, or pon-pon, or whatever ornament finishes off the shoe, set as low down the toe as possible, and certainly a strapped shoe is most becoming. Hair has a 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 a softer brush than is used for brushing the bair. Brushing the scalp stimulates the circulation. The fingers can be used for the same purpose. Place one hand on the brow, the other on the back of the head, press the fingers weil in- to the scalp, and with a quick movement bring the hands toward each other. Don’t use a brush unless it is clean. A hair brash should be washed at least every other day. Care spent upon the bair is well repaid, for good looks depend almost more upon the appearance of the hair than upon fair complexion, sparkling eyes, a rosebud mouth or pearly teeth; and all these good points are set off to better ad- vantage by abundant, beautiful and glossy hair. tir A clever dressmaker gives a list of the four qualities necessary for a perfect cos- tume : First --Long shoulders. Second —Sleeves big at the bottom. i Third—Skirt close at hips and wide at em. Fourth—Narrow apron gore. Pare white is not so smart among fash- ionable materials as the off-color whites, the so-called mushroom and oyster shades being especially popular. Brown, ranging from its darkest tone to a light fawn, is the most prominent color among dress fabrics. Cornflower blue, foliage green, silver gray, reddish purples called dahlia, fuchsia and plum and poppy and geranium red are all in vogue. In a sick room never whisper. If youn do not wish the patient to be disturbed by your voice do your talking in another room. Keep everything in the room scrupulously clean. Put all the medicine bottles out of sight. Regulate, but do not banish, light and ventilation. It can easily be done hy means of screens. Do not allow several people to stay and chatter in a sick room, even though they should not be ad- dressing themselves to the patient. Flow- ers are always pleasing to the eye, but do not introduce those of strong scents into an invalid’s room, and be careful to remove all cut flowers at night, as they absorb the air and leave it less fresh for the patient. It is a fact that the presence of acid in a carions or decayed tooth is a potent cause of toothache, which can often be relieved by packing the cavity with a little cotton dipped in sodium bicarbonate. When a number of teeth are sensitive and painful, relief can generally be obtain- ed by rubbing baking soda along the edge of the gums or by rinsing the mouth with a solution of this alkali. Sodium bicarbon- ate can be used locally on boils with satis- factory results. : An Application for Burns.—Seventy-five grains of picric acid dissolved in two ounces of alcohol, to which a quart of water is added, makes an excellent application for burns. There is nothing which deadens the pain better. It should not be used after granulation begins.—Medical Arena. Apricot Whip.—This is made by soak- ing over night half a pound of evaporated apricots in luke warm water, after wash- ing them thoroughly. In the morning stew gently until they are very soft, then press through a coarse sieve; set aside un- til very cold. Just before serving time beat the whites of two eggs, adding a pinch of salt and setting the bowl in a basin of ice-cold water to hasten matters. Add one tablespoonful of granulated sugar, beating it in after the eggs are stiff aud dry. Squeeze the juice of an orange over the apricots, add a little sugar if they are too sour, and then fold in the egg whites. Do not stir nor beat, or the eggs will liquefy and the apricot whip will not be light and flaffy as it should be. Fold in with a lift- ing motion of the spoon and turn into a pretty glass dish. Serve with a custard made of the yolks of eggs and flavored with orange or vanilla, Coffee stains are difficult to get out of light-colored or finely-finished materials. If the materials is woolen or mixed goods make a solution of nine parts water, one part glycerine and one-half part aqua ammonia. Apply with a brush, allowing solution to remain half a day. Renew the moistening occasionally, then rub witha clean cloth and press between two pieces of cloth. Green Corn Cakes.— Add to one pint of corn pulp two well-beaten eggs, stir in one tablespoonfnl of flour and one of corn- starch, season with salt and pepper and beat thoroughly. Bake a light brown on a hot griddle. These cakes can be made of canned corn finely chopped by adding two tablespoonfuls of milk, canned corn being less moist than the green. Strapped seams and bias folds of the same material are too popular to be ex- olusive as a trimming for street gowns, braid being much more desirable. Castoria. Castoria. Suse — SS Pattison Condemns Philadelphia Politics The Democratic campaign in York coun- ty was opened Wednesday night. N. H. Wanner presided, and Senator Dewalt, candidate for anditor general, was the first speaker. His remarks touched upon ‘snake’ bills in the last Legislature, the libel bill and the handling of the State funds. Interest was centered in the address of former Governor Pattison. He dealt al- most exclusively with Philadelphia politics, which he classed as the most corrupt on the face of the earth, and beyond the misrule of Turkey. Instances were cited in va- rious wards of wrong-doing, which he claimed could not be overcome under the present Republican regime. Election of- ficers in Philadelphia, he alleged, were corrupt, and things were in such shape that three weeks before the elections the result was announced. Mr. Pattison made a plea for personal registration. This, he held, could only be accomplished outside of Philadelphia, where an honest vote only could be cast. His defeat last fall he attributed to a manipulation of the ballot box by hench- men of the Philadelphia combination, which in the end would have to go, as previous rings have gone. The libel law was roundly denounced, and the constitution, federal and state, quoted in support of free speech. Publicity, Mr. Pattison held, was the greatest safety valve for any public officer, and no books or facts should be withheld from the peo- ple. Turned Pirates. Pennsylvanians Take More than $6,000 and Sail from Mindanao on a Small Vessel. It is now learned that George Herman and C. J. Johnson, the constabulary officers stationed at Misammis, Mindanao, now fugitives from justice, not only took $6,000 in cash from the safe, but also turned most of the supplies into cash before their dra- matic exit on the vessel they appropriated. They took the steamer Victoria of thirty- five tons register, and got sufficient coal from the steamer Irene by threatening the captain at the point of a revolver to carry them to Baliango, a town on the north shore of the island. There they procured wood and water before putting to sea again. They should have reached Sandagau, Bor- neo, Thursday. A cable was sent to the Governor of Borneo, advising him of their departure, and he at once dispatched the coast guard steamer Ranger to look out for them. Herman, who was recently promoted to a captaincy, was formerly a non-commis- sioned officer in the Ninth infantry. He comes from Philadelphia. Johnson, a lieutenant, was formerly a non-commis- sioned officer in the Eleventh infantry. He is a native of Moosic, Pa. Mauna Loa Erupting. Volcano on Island of Hawail Throwing Lava—Con- firmation by Wireless Telegraph. The volcano of Manna Loa, on the island of Hawaii, is having a great eruption. The lava began to flow on Tuesday. The British ship Ormphy, which passed the island, then, gave the first report Wed- nesday of the eruption. The news was confirmed by wireless telegraph. Mauna Loa, which is the second highest voloanic peak in the Pacific, is in the northern part of the island of Hawaii. About six months ago excursionists, at- tracted by the news of an eruption, went to the island from Honolulu. In May, 1899, Mauna Loa became active and con- tinued in eruption several days. The mountain is 13,600 feet in height. Mauna Kea, in the northern part of Hawaii, is higher. Tbe circular orater of Mauna Loa, which is 8,000 feet in di- ameter, was in eruption in 1877, when a stream of lava flowed for six hours. Singular Accident Causes Girl’s Death. An hour before noon last Wednesday little 3-year-old Naomi Delozier was seated on the back steps of her home at Juniata eating an apple, while her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George E. Delozier, were engaged at some work in the kitchen, when a dead limb was blown from a tree nearby, strik- ing the child on the head. Mr. Delozier hurriedly conveyed the little girl to the hospital, where it was discovered that her skull had been fractured and that the in- jury was fatal. The child lingered until 3:30 in the afternoon when she died.
