FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
The fashion of wearing the stock collar
and tie seems mainly responsible for the
revival of that pretty old-fashion, the wear-
ing of a bow of lace, tulle, or chiffon at the
throat; the prettiest evening or theater
gowns with transparent lace collars are now
finished with a flaffy bow of some light,
ethereal material, which may be tied eith-

FARM NOTES.
Operations are now under way tending
to the beginning of a sawmill business by
the Susquehanna Boom company, which
in about a week will bave a portable mill
set up and ready to run on the south side
of the river opposite Williamsport, says the
Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin. All
the sunken logs that can be procured from
The hostess who can devise a novelty for
the entertainment of her guests is the one’
most certain of having her invitations ac-
cepted, and, better than that, of securing
for herself a reputation for social leader-
ship, which is dear to the woman who is
not under the painful necessity of making
bread and butter with her brains if not
—The best way to feed corn to young
chickens is cracked or crushed.
—A good dust bath will go far toward
keeping fowls in good condition.
—C Clear, raw corn meal wet with water
is not a good feed for young ducklings at
any time.
—Destroy the nest of a sitting hen as
soon as the chickens are a day old. Give
her a new nest and burn the old one.
—On the farm if more than one breed is
kept it is necessary that they be kept sepa-
rate, and one or the other must be kept
confined part of the time.
—Separated early and raised up by
themselves, pullets are worth at least 25
per cent more for use than if allowed to
run with a lot of cockerels.
—1It is important to keep the young
turkeys dry until they are about eight
weeks old, and even then they should be
strong and well developed. Dampness is
almost always fatal to young turkeys.
—The Keifer pear iz one of the best
varieties for canning, aud is also hardy and
a strong grower, but the supposition that
it is free from attacks of blight is not cor-
roborated by growers. There is no blight-
proof pear.
—Nothing is better to prevent loss of
ammonia from the manure heap than so.p-
suds. Keep the heap, so that the soap-
suds can pass down to the bottom of the
heap. Chemical action is facilitated, but
there are formations of salts that prevent
loss.
—To build and fill an ice-house for home
dairy use is a cheap and simple task. Ice
laid on edge will keep better than when
packed on its side. Use but little saw-
dust, or other packing, but pack close, as a
circulation of air between the cakes of ice
is more destructive than direct heat.
—A crop of weeds removes from the soil
as much of the elements of fertility asa
crop of grain, and exhausts the lands just
as quickly. Do not grow weeds. Plow
them under as soon as they take possession
of the land, hy which process they are re-
turned to the soil from whence they came.
—Many are prone t6 allow their horses
to run out through all kinds of weather
until late in the fall, and until their coats
become rough and shaggy. This is wrong.
Frosty grass is not good for horses that
have been used to dry feed and must yet
do hard work. They should be stabled as
soon as the nights become uncomfortably
cool, and then they may be turned cut to
grass again after the sun has dispelled the
frost.
—A hoie in the granary through which
the grain would be lost would not be al-
lowed to exist very long after its discovery.
A hole in the stable, through which the
cold air enters and chills the animals,causes
a loss of grain just as surely as the hole in
the granary, as more food will be required
to assist the animals in maintaining
warmth. It is the things that are unob-
served which sometimes cause’loss. When
the flow of milk is reduced, or the animals
do not make gain proportionately to the
food allowed, there is always a cause, an
it should be sought. . :
—The old-time method of whitewashing
the trunks of trees is not usually credited
with its full value. Farmers follow it con-
siderably, thongh, perhaps, more from a
country habit than with a definite reason
before them. Prof. M. T. Macoun, horticul-
turist for the Canadian department of agri-
culture adds that it is most efficient com-
posed of 60 pounds of lime, 24 gallons of
water and six gallons of skimmilk,or those
proportions. The milk makes the wash
stick better, giving the lime more oppor-
tunity, to exercise its caustic properties.
—There is more loss storing potatoes
than in storing any other crop. Barring all
waste from rot, there is a heavy shrinkage,
both in quantity and weight. A bin hold-
ing 100 bushels will show a shrinkage of
nearly one-tenth, besides a greater loss in
weighs. A bushel basket full, that will
weigh fully 60 pounds in October, when
taken from she soil, will not weigh so much
after being stored in the cellar during the
winter. The shrinkage in weight is much
less when kept in pits closely covered with
earth, for there ie then less chance for
evaporation.
—The Art of Calf Feeding. J. H. Grins-
dale, in the Farmer's Sentinel, says that
there is an art in calf feeding. The only
dies for the first three weeks to: be its moth-
er’s milk, and that fed so often that it
would not get ravenously hungry at any
time. It should be fed four times a day at
first. The calf to be .kept in warm quar-
ters in the winter and have its gunarters
kept clean. Never feed the calf so much
as to bring on the scours, as there is noth-
ing more injurious to the growth of the
calf, but feed all that it can digest, and it
can be gradually brought on to a diet of
warm separator milk.
—The decomposition of manure depends
largely upon the amount of moisture in
the heap. When manure is dry the chem-
ical changes occur slowly, hut more rapidly
when the heap is wet. When manure is
mixed with a liberal supply of absorbent
materials, and stored under shelter, it will
undergo but little change, but when wanted
for use it may be decomposed in a short
time if saturated with urine. If the bed-
ding used in the stalls is cat fine it will
serve the purpose desired fully as well as
when uncut, but the main advantage is
that the fine material may be more inti-
mately mixed with manure, and will then
better absorb the liquids, to say nothing of
the easier handling, loading and distribu.
tion of the manure on the fields when the
season arrives for spreading it.
—Rotation of crops should include some
mode of clearing the land of weeds. Wheat
and clover, followed by corn, clean the
land, provided the corn orop receives thor-
ough cultivation, but many weeds come
up in the corn field after the corn is ‘‘laid
by,"’ and it is not unusual for crab grass to
then take possession of the field. Corn
should be followed by another hoe crop,
such as potatoes, cabbages, turnips or car-
rots, and at no period during the growing
season should the land ne allowed to grow
weeds, as a late crop of sweet corn, to be
used as fodder, may be grown and cut at
any stage of growth. The system of rota-
tion should be governed by the condition
of the land and the value of the crops in
market. No grain orop, however, should
follow another, if it can be avoided, but if
two grain crops are produced in two seasons
the third crop shonld be clover or the land
made to produce green manurial crops for
turning under, lime being also used.
er at the back of the neck or under the
chin. There are great advantages in eith-
er of the ways of wearing it—at the back
especially; it hides a thin neck and helps
in the fastening of the collar, besides leav-
ing the front free for the display of th®
pendant locket or charm now so fashion-
able.
In all the new autumn gowns the very
low shoulder effect is the proper thing, the
decided tendency being towards widening
the shoulders. This is effected by epaulettes
cape-collars,. bertha, bretelles or in in-
numerahle ingenious ways. The sleeve
fulness is still confined principally below
the shonlder, most of the sleeves drooping
or sagging artistioally.
The stout woman has little to complain
of—even much to be thankful for—in the
styles of the present season.
The vogue of thestraight front figure isa
boon to her kind, but she must be careful
to avoid the extremely low front corsets
which are so becoming to the thin.
Or, if she prefers this low-cut garment,
some other provision must be made. In
such a case the bust girdle—a corset cover
lacing in the back and stiffened with whale-
bhones—suppiles the necessary support.
While her best lines are those not ex-
aggerated in any particular, a stout wom-
an cannot successfully go in for the very
severe effects.
She should be carefnl in selecting her
wardrobe to avoid styles that are too pro-
nouncedly plain.
It is usually better for her to wear a lit-
tle garniture to break the broad surfaces,
which, unrelieved, are so ungraceful.
Only such garnitures as are applied flat
are possible to her, however. Pauffings,
shirrings and raised trimmings will be
found, almost invariably, to add to her
size. :
Again, the idea that tighs-fisting clothes
make her look smalier is a disastrous one.
The inch or two that she contracts at
waist or hips by this means serves to throw
the other portions of the body into a bold
relief; to draw attention to their defects.
Dark colors, inconspicuous patterns,
should be a rule with all women burdened
with flesh when it comes to a question of
materials.
Bright colors attract attention; white
increases the apparent bulk; black or dark
cool tones make an object appear small.
Black and dark blue are always incon-
spicaous and in good taste.
Any over-large woman should avoid the
very large hat. The broad brim and much
trimming add to her silhouette in a most
undesirable degree.
On the other hand, the very small hat is
equally unwise. Her ideal choice will be
between the two.
She should have a frame fitting the head
perfectly and a brim projecting over the
face in front, but the trim turban or toque
or walking hat is always preferable for her
purposes to the more elaborate creations.
No stout woman with any regard for her
appearance will wear a short walking skirt.
The shortened line produced in this way is
something which no figare inclined to
avoirdupois can stand.
For while large masses of light color
shonld always be excluded from styles for
the stout, white and other pale tints can
be introduced in little touches with hap-
piest results.
A preparation for keeping the hair in
curl which may easily be prepared at home
is made by taking 15 grains of gum arabic,
half an ounce of pulverized borax, three
drams of spirits of camphor and eight
ounces of water, warm. Dissolve the solids
in the water. When cool add the ocam-
phor. :
Vaseline and cocoanut butter, mixed in
equal proportions, are recommended for
stimulating the growth of the eyebrows.
The preparation should be rubbed in care-
fully, but thoronghly, every night. Care
is essential in doing anything with the eye
brows, because the hairs are not, as a rule,
very numerous, and the unnecessary loss
of one is a matter of importance, especially
hen one is doing her best to cultivate
them.
Tartar should be removed from the teeth
at least twice a year. Don’t let it accumu-
late, for it brings a whole train of evils in
its wake. Don't use any but the best tooth
brush, and the best dentifrice you can buy.
Money is well spent in purchasing the best
of toilet requisites. The teeth should be
brushed the last thing at night; this is
most important. Use a tooth brush slowly
and deliberately and polish your teeth af-
ter cleaning them. Even with very plain
features, a poor complexion and thin hair
a girl may be almost charming if she has
sparkling white teeth.
Fingers that would otherwise be pretty
are often ‘disfigured by hangnails. Noth-
ing can well be uglier than these little red
tags of flesh at the corners of one’s nails.
Sometimes they are caused by pushing the
skin down when it is dry, or using a sharp
instrament, like the edge of a pair of
goissors. When the skin has grown upon
the nail soak the finger tips in warm water
for five minutes, then push it down gently
with the towel. If one makes use of this
gentle process two or three times a day, or
remembers to dry the ends of the fingers
by rubbing down, instead of up, the nails
ought to keep a good shape without the
danger of making hangnails.
After all is said and done, good health is
the only beautifier. It adds a brightness
to the eye, a tinge to the cheek, a pearly
luster to the teeth, a plumpness to the
form, an elasticity to the step, a ring.to
the langh and a winsomeness to the smile
that nothing else can. Pomades and
powders may hide wrinkles and splotches,
but health drives them away.
Therefore, if you want your girls to be
considered pretty or handsome see to it
‘that they are properly: fed and cared for.
Be especially careful to see that their ner-
vous systems are not overtaxed, and that
their nervous energy is not all used up in
school.
Fashion plates have a great deal todo
with marring the beauty of a girl of the
period. They picture her a fragile, wasp-
waisted, willow creature fit only to look
at, and that not very long at a time.
Why don’t they picture the fat one, the
lean one, and the plain one, and give these
some common sense talk on how to make
the best of their bargains ? Instead of that
the fat ones are encouraged to lace, the
lean ones to pad, and the plain ones to dye
and stain and paint and powder and act
unnatural in order to appear like unto the
pictured beauties.
Men may laugh and flirt with painted
beauties but they don’t marry them; it
won't wash; it is no good.
and vegetation.
with her bands.
In giving a pumpkin party the guests
ed conspicuously in the popular juvenile
fiction, ‘‘Cinderellaand the Glass Slipper.”’
There should be as many mice as guests,
with baby ribbon reins running to and
through an opening in the pumpkin, which
should be hollow. Attached to these rib-
bon reins are small bits of pasteboard, on
each of which is written a line. The lines
should be divided equally in rhyming
couplets, though it does not follow that
they will be drawn out in that order. The
aim is to secure for masculine and feminine
selection ten lines that jingle. For ex-
ample, there may be a dozen lines, six of
which read :
“The pumpkins ripe, the pumpkins mel-
low.”
‘‘At autumnal feast, with pie the best.”
“When winter winds blow from the
east.’’
“Why gloomy be, and give a sigh.’’
‘“The best beloved of every pumpkin.”
‘“With red apples and pumpkin pie.”
Then, of course, the coupling of the oth-
er six should read as follows :
“In color its a fine, deep yellow.”’
‘““The pumpkin, of course can stand the
test.”’
‘“The pumpkin pies add to the feast.”
‘Is the pie of pies the yellow pumpkin?*’
‘‘When you can have some pumpkin
pie.”’
‘You can’t be gloomy if you try.”’
ing are given some little token in keeping
with the nature of the form of a pin cush-
ion in the form of a pumpkin or a little glass
slipper for flowers, as a reminiscence of
Cinderella and her pumpkin coach.
When supper is announced a large pump-
kin pie should occupy the place of honor on
the table. In it should be a ring to signi-
fy matrimony, a time table suggesting
travel, a coin, indicative of riches; a thim-
ble for the bachelor maid or man, and a
little clover pin for good luck.
For a chestnut conversazione the guests
gather about the open fire. As the nuts
pop open the person who placed the nut on
the fire is in duty bound to tell a story, the
oldest, most absolutely moth eaten being
the one greatest in demand. To him or
her who resurrects the most ancient joke or
tale is awarded the prize, which could be
the book ‘‘The Opening of a Chestnut
Burr,’ a screen or calendar on which chest-
nuts are painted or little charms in the
form of silver chestnuts.
The chestnut party permits of variation
in making a game, using the chestnuts as
men in playing. For example, a white
cloth could be stretched over the dining
table. On this cloth should be marked
spaces numbered from five to a hundred.
Players flick the chestnuts from the other
end. To remove another chestnut from a
space counts for the opponent whatever
number the chestnut rests upon. The
highest score wins. The game is limited
by the players to any number they desire.
Swallow Characteristics.
Easy Ways to Remember the Markings of the
Different Families.
It is very easy to remember the barn-
swallow, says St. Nicholas. Hay-forks are
used in the barn; this swallow has a very
conspicuously forked tail. Remember, al-
so, that the farmers gets much hay down
in the meadows; you often see barn-swal-
lows flying low over these meadows for in-
sects. Keep in mind also, that the under
parts are of chocolate color.
On the upper edge of an excavated bank
by the roadside there is a dark layer of soil
There is a dark band
across the breast of bank-swallow. That
is easy to remember. The rough-winged
is much the same as the bank-swallow, ex-
cept that it bas no dark band on the breast.
The color is a sooty brown.
There isa steel lightening rod on the
brown shingles of the old farm house; there
is a steel-blue patch on the brown breast of
the eaves-swallow. The tail is almost as
square as the end of the roof. The light spot
on the rump yon may also remember.
This swallow bnilds a queer guord-
shaped nest of mud hanging mouth down-
ward under the eaves of the barn. This
nest, made of pellets of mud, is very inter-
esting, as it is nicely adapted to the slant
of the eaves and to the boards or rafters on
which it is fastened. It isalso very inter-
esting to watoh these swallows on muddy
shores rolling up pellets of mpd.
Take up your note book and write in it a
list of the principal manners of a few of
these confusing families. Against the name
of each bird in the list put the chief char-
acteristic as stated in any good bird book.
Four families at least should be treated in
this way; the swallows, the sparrows, the
vireos and the warblers.
