—STRD Bellefonte, Pa., October 30, 1903 se momma —— ——— FARM NOTES. —Scours in calves is the great drawback in raising them. It is due mostly to indi- gestion, too much food being given, or food not suitable. When a calf is taken from its dam when very young care should be used in having the milk of the temperature of that which is fresh from the cow, and if the milk is skimmed a tablepoonful of flax- seed meal should be cooked as gruel and added to every quart of milk allowed. At no time should the calf be exposed to. cold or dampness. —Common soapsuds will go far towards keeping plants, vines and bushes free of scales and insects in general. On wash- day the soapsuds may be utilized to ‘douse’ the leaves. With a common sprayer one can wet the under sides of the leaves thoroughly with the suds. Where it is possible to reach the leaves the treat- ment may be easily done. Make a soap lather and apply it to all vines and bushes within reach by dipping them into the ves- sel. Or take one handful of lather and with the other band draw the infessed leaves through it, so that the under sides are wet.— Midland Farmer. —The longer a field has been in cultiva- tion the more compacted has the subsoil necessarily become, and the greater is the necessity for subsoiling- The greater the proportion of clay in the soil, the sooner will this condition be brought about, and the more frequently should subsoiling be done. The above statement is particularly true of the south, where in addition to the usual conditions, the unprotected state of the soil during winter months, neither snow nor sod interfering, the heavy rains denude the bare fields, impact the clayey soils and leach them of their more soluble constituents. Fall plowing, however, and the breaking up of the hard, impervious stratum, prevents surface washing, admits waters to the lower and previously inac- cessible depths where the enormously in- creased absorptive power is able to hold waters in check till natural drainage, sur- face evaporation and the demands of the spring crops for moisture can utilize the entire supply. — After raising chickens magy years,and taking an interest in all that my neigh- bors raised, I have found that not all the so- called chicken cholera is cholera at all. Whenyour birds have the genuine cholera, then in deed you have something to contend with. There are diseases among chickens that simulate cholera. Lice will kill off chickens, and the last symptoms resemble those of cholera. I went over to see a pile of dead chickens owned by a neighbor the other day. ‘‘Cholera among my chickens again,” she wailed. They were young chickens, roosting together under an old wagon bed. ‘They drooped around a week or more, and were white about the gills, but wanted to eat until they were so weak they could not stand up to eat,”” she went on. Now, it isn’t often that chicken lice will remain on a dead chicken, but they were on these chickens. I picked up one and showed her the kind of cholera that killed her chickens. Then I repaired. to the old wagon bed and showed ber the rest of that cholera. It is a case of sheer lazi- ness to let chickens die from lice. If you can’t afford kerosene, you can afford hot water, and if you don’t let chickens roost on or about trees or valuableshrubs, plenty of hot water will finish that kind of chol- era. Then there is a form of indigestion often mistaken for cholera. Old, overfat hens, fed on an exclusive corn diet, will get it, especially in the spring. The droopings are profuse and green. The hen lingers for weeks before death overtakes her. I have, after experience with the disease, concluded that it is best to kill off hens afflicted in this way, as it becomes conta- gious, and after a while other hens take it. Sometimes it can he cured, but if one or two hens only are first taken, get them out of the way of the others as soon as possible, and shrow lime around where they come to drink, and clean away all the droppings immediately. : a ke Niiera proper, it is claimed, was an unheard of disease in this land be- fore 1845. First bad come the Asiatic cholera, attacking the human family; closely behind this came the cattle plague, nos only in this country, but in the Old World; then followed the swine plague or cholera, and next came chicken cholera. The symptoms were the same in all, and the examinasion after death revealed the same conditions in the liver, the main seat of the disease, and the greenish, putrid condition of the intestines. The chicken cholera, which is now such a rare diveaseamong chickens, but: which along in tbe 50’s and for years. after made its way into almost every State, carries strange phases with it even yes. It will enter a yard of chickens and make its way among one particular breed, leaving the rest safe. Again, it will attack every chicken, of every kind and not leave one alive, and for several years after will kill off every chicken brought on to the place. Again, one will have it on the place one year and never have it again. It oncekill- ed off all the sparrows, crows and birds in places, but turkeys, geese and ducks seem- ed then to be immune from its ravages. But of late years, in our country, the turk- ey crop has been shortened up by it. Wherever the swine cholera is bad, there we find the turkey aleo dying of the chol- era, although chickens feeding among these same affected hogs come off clear. As the chicken cholera is primarily a liver disease, all medicines must be given with that fact in view. A chicken with the cholera is very thirsty. It will sit around the water pan until it drops over dead ; and other chickens coming to drink get the disease in quick order. Kill and burn all afflicted chickens. Don’t wait for them to die, which is usually not over three days, and sometimes not that many hours. Shut the well chickens in a dry place and give for every dozen chickens, in one pint of dough, ten grains of calomel and one dram of Spauish brown. There may be better remedies than this oldtime remedy to follow with, but there is noth- ing better to give as a first dose and there is nothing better togive as twice a week dose, when cholera is in the neighborhood, than Spanish hrown and cayenne pepper. Allow no chickens from infected places with your chickens, and keep the houses and grounds clean and well strewn with lime.—Ida M. Shepler, in New York Tribune Farmer. Near Boston. He—'*Are youn sure yon saw a snake ? Was it a rattler ? “No, it was a-—oh, a hose-supporter snake.’'—Life. .soon as it is born. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Dangling ornaments are to be the height of vogue for garniture this winter, so fash- ion arbiters says. A number of the smartest autemn blouses of heavy white vesting are effectively em- bellished on the collar, cuffs aud box-pleat with Chinese hieroglyphics worked in green, red, dull blue and yellow. Brown as the relief note is quite to su- persede the universal and long-used black, so if you desire the latest vogue have your French knots, fancy stitches and fogoting done in brown. To clean dust or grime from light cloths first brush thoroughly, then rub with corn- meal, using a piece of light cloth for the rubbing. By this simple process cream- tan broadcloth coats and skirts, so much worn now, may be entirely freshened and cleaned. Grease spots must be removed by solvents or absorbents. If the spot be fresh and the color of the fabric will not be changed by heat, the easiest method of removal is to place white blotting paper aboveand under the spot, and then tostand an iron ou it— not hot enough to color the paper. An- other effective measure is to cover the spob with pulverized French chalk, dry, or with the same chalk or fuller’s earth moist- ened in benzine, to remain 24 hours, and then be renewed if necessary, always brush- ing it off, however, with a soft brush. A little ammonia slightly diluted makes a capital cleanser for a greasy coat collar. Velvet collars may be treated in the same way, and the pile raised by holding close to a hot iron as soon as the cleansing opera. tion is completed. If you want to shut off the view from any window, you can do it very cheaply by dissolving in a little hot water as much epsom salts as the water will absorb. Paint this over the windows while hot, and when dry you will have a very fair imitation of ground glass. A home-made plate rack that costs not more than half a dollar, while smaller one sell for two or three dollars in the depart- ment stores, is bound to be a veritable boon to the woman who cannot afford a china closes, and who could not spare the money to buy the china with which to fill it, even if she conld ges the closet. For the foun- dation of the rack, choose a common pine board four feet long and three inches wide. This may be supported by the common iron brackets that cost about three cents apiece at toy or hardware stores. Stain tbe board brown and fasten firmly in place. About two inches above the shelf place a common curtain pole about ‘half an inch in diameter. The pole should be put up exactly as for a curtain by screwing the fixtures to the wall and slipping the pole into place. Six inches further up place a similar pole. This should have the fixtures cut down to bring it nearer to the wall. If you wonld be healthy and happy don’t anticipate trouble. Don’t gossip; have faith in God, in bu- manity and in yourself. Don’t imagine every dark clond you see ie going to bring up a cyclone. Fill every day brimful of sunshine for someone else, and much of it will be re- reflected on you. Make the hest of what you possess; en- joy it; be happy to-day; don’t put it off until next year. Take a sponge bath every morning in cold water, and rub briskly with a crash towel for ten minutes; take moderate exer- cise and plenty of fresh air. Cleanliness, purity, fresh air, faith and calm consideration are the bess of life pre- servers.— Woman’s Home Companion. “It is said the healthy body helps to make a healthy brain; it is also true that a well-1egulated brain tends to keep the rest of the body in good health,” says Warner. It is certainly true that the underlying cause of many ailments that attack the presen generation is nervelessness, or a de- ciency of vital force. A noted writer up- on insanity says that whereas diseases used to attack the circulatory system, it is now almost invariably carried over into the nerves. Weak nerves and weak mus- cles go together. The time to take in hand the nerve training of a child is, really, as All intellectual cul- ture, all moral education rests upon this basis. A child is the natural companion of achild. Grown people unconsciously excite the young nerves and overcharge the im- ions. An ‘‘only”’ child especially should have a genérous supply of animal pets as well as associates of his own age and be as much as possible out of doors. Such a word as ‘‘huiry’’ should be left wholly out of the vocabulary of the young. ‘‘How’’ and ‘‘why’’ should come gradually, as nature suggests. For special sense training, with a view to reflex action upon the nerves, a well-known authority in the case of children says that few things excel archery. ‘In the days of Cyrus of Macedon,’’ she urges, ‘‘almost the whole education of the Persian lad con- sisted in learning to draw the bow and speak the truth, and it is not by accident that the two are wed in thought.” The reflex action in accuracy of shought and speech is clearness of judgment and steadi- ness of nerve.—New York Tribune. CLUB SANDWICHES. —These are extreme- ly popular for the set outs forgirls. Re- move the crust from white bread and toast it, cut iuto triangles, spread each. slice with mayonnaise dressing, add a lettuce leaf, onthis a slice of cold chicken, then aslice of boiled bacon, cover with other triangles of toast, garnish with Jettuce and hard-boiled eggs. If the oil mayonnaise is not liked, the boiled oream dressing can he substituted. Thisis made by boiling one cupful vinegar, one teaspoonful mustard. one tablespoonfal buster; remove from fire and add cupful of cream, two well-beaten eggs, one tea- spoonful salt. To he well dressed children nowadays must be simply dressed, and their fashions are far more sensible than they were when their mothers were little girls. The one- piece frock for the girl can be just as smart and smarter than the one made with skirt and blouse waist or false front jacket, while for small boys the Russian blouse and the sailor suits take them along until the time comes for the little cheviot knee breeches and short sack coats that are sold for go little at all the shops. A coat which looks exceedingly smart and is exceedingly comfortable for a young girl is a military coat of navy blue cloth, or perhaps it is really a navy coat. It has the deep cape, lined with red flannel, and the double row of brass buttons. It is a fine garment for school wear, so comfort. able and so practicable. Valuable Invention. Edlison’s Charging Machine Works Wonders and Cheapens Light. At a selling price of not more than $450, which he is sure will be lessened. Thomas E. Edison will within a reasonably short time be prepared to place on the market a ‘‘charging machine,’’ to use his own name for it, by means of which the possessor of a moderate income will be able to procure power to run an automobile, light his house and provide means of accomplishing numerous other things for which electric- ity is available. Mr. Edison pointed toward a shed which stands in the laboratory house. It was, approximately, 15 feet in length by 8 feet wide and sufficiently high to permit a man to stand upright in is. ““If you owned a little house,’’ he said, ‘‘with a little shed like that one in the yard, you could, at a trifling cost, keep a runabout automobile, supply it with power light your house and furnish your own electricity all from beneath the roof of that little shed. You would he absolutely in- dependent of the electric companies. **The batteries can be stored and restored as often as necessary with the little ma- chine at the farther end of the shed. A child or a maid servant can operate the charging machine. ‘“The expense for charging them, after you are supplied with the batteries and the machine for generating the electricity, will be less than running the same number of lights with kerosene oil. The batteries are practically indestructible. I am con- vinced from their action during a period of one and a half years that they are three times better than any automobile that has been made. I mean by that that they will wear out a half dozen automobiles, besides lighting the house while they are doing 16:2? The cells of the batteries are oblong in shape, are 14 inches high, 5 inches wide and 3} inches thick. They weigh a frac- tion over 14 pounds each, and are counted as three cells to a . horse power. These cells fit the body of a vehicle, side by side, snugly, and are connected with each other by insular wires. They may be removed from the vehicle at will. Ever since the first battery was made and subjected to the tests already described the inventor has been steadily at work in the effort to di- minish the weight and space occupied and increase she power per cell. Mr. Edison has not yet chosen a name for the machine. He is positive that is will not take as long to bring down the price below $450 as it did to reduce the the cost of sewing machines, bicycles and similar articles. There is no leakage or deterioration in his batteries. They are made of nickel and iron oxides immersed in an alkali liguid.~ Fudge. Boil together a cup, each. of sagar and grated chocolate, a half cup of milk and a quarter cupful of molasses. Stir often, until a little dropped in cold water hard- ens. Take from the fire, beat in a tea- spoonful of vanila, stir for a minute, turn into a buttered pan and mark into squares. FRENCH CRULLERS. Put one cupful of water and one-half of a cupful of butter into a saucepan and heat to the boiling point. Turn in quickly and all at once one-half of a cupful of flour and stir rapidly until the mixture becomes very thick and draws away from the sides of the saucepan. Take from the fire, beat hard, cover closely and set aside for half an hour. Drop into it an unbeaten egg and stir until thoroughly incorporated with the paste; add a second one and beat again long and bard. Add a third egg, and when that is beaten in add part of a fourth one. Sometimes the whole of the fourth egg is needed, the exact amount being determin- ed by the paste, which should be of such consistency as to hold its shape when drop- ped from a spoon. When all the eggs are in, beat steadily for five minutes, then cover and set aside in a warm place for an hour or more. Haveready a deep kettle partly filled with smoking-hot fat. Brush the ineide of the lid of a large saucepan with a little soft butter—a plate or a sheet of heavy paper may also be used. Put the paste in a pastry bag having a plain half- inch tube in the end, and with it press out three or four circules of paste on the greased cover or plate. Invert this over the kettle, and in a moment the cakes will drop into the hot fat. If this method is considered impracticable, flonr the board very lightly, roll and cut out the dough with a cruller cutter. This requires care in handling, as the dough is very soft and the addition of much flour will spoil the crullers. In a moment they will rise to the surface and begin to expand. Keep them turned until golden brown all over, then skim out. Drain for a moment on unglazed paperand.roll in -a mixture of powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. These crullers are also called queen frit- ters and belle fritters, and it is possible that they may be known by other names as well. When baked instead of fried they make the well-known oream puff and eclair.— Table Talk. Castoria.

The collection of a $20,000,000 thank of- fering is not the only thing in which the Methodists of the United States are ahead. According to a table compiled by the Chi- cago ““Tribune’’ the Methodists have ‘‘land- ed’”’ more men in gubernatorial chairs in this country daring the last few years than any other denomination, there being no less than eight states with Methodius, ernors at the presens time. Wai «on si dF off with Governor ‘‘Diek’’ Yavesy i. a0 nois, and closes up with Governor Says, of Texas, all of the eight being Republicans except Sayres and Governor Dockery, of Missouri. The Presbyterians come next with a score of seven governors to their credit two Democrats and five Republicans, this number including Governor Odell. The Baptist come in third with six executives, all Democrats, which would indicate that water and the Democratic party are better friends than some have been led to suppose. But perhaps a better explanation would be found in the fact that all the states with Baptist governors are in the extreme South. The Quakers are credited with one governor, John Hunn, of Delaware; the Episcopalians with four and the Unitarians with one. Twelve governors are entered in the list as men with no professed church connections. Troops for the Philippines. The general staff on last Thursday 1ssued the following : “Orders have just been given for the movement of the Second cavalry from the United States to the Philippines to relieve the Eleventh cavalry. In accordance with the policy recently announced in the case of the new infantry regiments ordered home from the Philippines, the Eleventh will be returned to this country to be re- crunited, instead of sending out a large drafs of recruits to the Philippines.’ Upon the completion of this movement the cavalry force in the Philippine islands will consist of the Second, Twelfth, Thir- teenth and Fourteenth. All of these regi- ments having been recently ordered to the Philippines. no further change of stations of cavalry regiments is contemplated for some time to come. As soon as quarters are completed in the United States for their accommodation, it is not unlikely that the number of in- fantry regiments in the Philippines will be correspondingly reduced, making the in- fantry garrison in that division consist of eight regiments.
