Bellefonte, Pa., November 20, 1903 mmm em ——— ssmm— FARM NOTES. —The cleaning of cows by using the brash and currycomb on them, as well as giving them a scrubbing and rinsing with a sprayer, may appear as a waste of labor to those who have never tried the plan, but if the cows were so treated the result would be more milk and butter, as the cows would be more comfortable. It is more important to brush cows than horses, as the dirt from the cows easily finds its way into the milk. —Considering the neglect giving black- berry and raspberry canes in late summer they pay well in comparison with other orops. If fruit growers will cultivate the canes and clean the ground well of weeds and grass as soon as the berry harvest is over, and apply fertilizer on the land, the effect of the good treatment will be ap- parent the following year. Weeds and grass rob the canes, and when it is consid- ered that with she canes producing crops for several years in succession, and weeds and grass taking possession hetween the rows, the land becomes exhansted, the crops fall off and the canes die ous. —My experience in raising calves ex- tends over fifteen years. Of course, every- one knows how to feed calves,but many do not know just what is best to feed. Ask me, and I will say ‘‘shelled corn.”’ ‘‘When do you begin ?”’ I begin when the calf is three days old. Feed it just a few kernels at first and gradually increase to a pint by the time the calf is six weeks old. They chew it all up. I never knew a call to pass a whole grain. I never feed a calf more than two quarts of milk at a feeding. If I am raising calves for milkers I do not feed them enough to make them. fat. I have experimented with all manner of ground foods, but none of them equal shell- ed corn. My calves’ hair is sleek and glossy; they are growing rapidly; they run and frisk about and are always ready to eat corn. My neighbor, who persists in feed- ing his calves all the milk they can drink, besides a couple of quarts of ground feed, has funny looking calves. They are little, pot-gutted things; bair standing on end. They have the scours nearly all the time; lie around half asleep. "I wouldn’t trade one of mine for a dozen of his. In short, if you want good calves feed them corn; if you want poor, worthless animals, feed them something else.—I. H. Watt, in Practical Farmer. : —1It is remarkable how many soiled eggs may be seen in the country stores and else- where. Many make no attempt to clean them and many more do not know how to do it properly when they make the at- tempt. Stained and smeary eggs hurt the sale to a marked degree, as it is not only a matter of tastefulness, but it gives the eggs a stale look. \ Eggs all of one color and perfectly clean make an attractive appearance and will readily bring several cents more per dozen than a dirty lot, particularly when quality goes with appearance and the one 1g gen- erally an indication of the other. An egg is improperly cleaned when it is wet too much and not rubbed dry witha dry cloth. Some, when they see spots of dirt on eggs put them in a pan of water and wash them like potatoes. There is, on the freshly laid egg, a mucilaginous covering which gives it a velvety appearance peculiar to new eggs. Water removes this, making the egg have an older appearance and de- stroying its keeping qualities,as this cover- ing makes the shell impervious toair. An egg, then, if it is not much soiled, should merely be moistened where necessary and rubbed dry. If the blemish is in the nature of a stain, a little powdered scouring brick will help, and if this is not effective vine- gar may be used in addition. In this way any stains may be removed from an egg. Sometimes they have to be put in water, but do not do it unless it is necessary, and then rab dry afterwards. If this is not done they will look soiled and dingy. Eggs should be collected twice or more times a day.—G. Davis, in Ohio Farmer. —An expert judge should be able to se- ject an animal by the sense of feeling, and in judging cattle the touch, as well as the eye, is brought into request, according to an authority. Except in regard to certain points of conformation and color some ex- perts are by no means sure that ‘‘touch’’ is not the most important qualification. The skin and the flesh can only be fully ex- amined by touch or handling in ascertain- ing if the bones are well covered with flesh, and also if the latter is soft to the touch avd ample in quantity on the examined points. Tbe squeeze of the palm of the hand is not so delicate as the touch of the tips of the fingers; the former ascertains the quantity, the latter judges the quality. The touch may be hard or mellow, thip or harsh, good or bad, as it is frequently term- ed. A slow feeder is marked by having a thick-set, hard, short hair, which con- stitutes a bad touch: a thin, meagre, papery skin, covered with thin silky hair, though the opposite of the one just mentioned,does not constitute a good touch, but is indica- tive of weakness of constitution, though probably of good breeding qualities. A good touch will be found in a thick, loose skin, floating, as it were, on a layer of soft fat, yielding to the least pressure, spring- ing back toward the fingers like a piece of soft, thick chamois leather, and covered with thick, soft, glossy hair, which looks rich and beautiful and seems warm and comfortable to the animal. A curly pile of soft-hair indicates a vigorous constitution and also a propensity to fatten. Such a skin is termed ‘“mossy’’ from resembling a bed of fine soft moss. The sensation of a fine touch is very gratifying to the handler, the animal is liked, and more especially as it is more accompanied by a symmetrical form. Long practice is required to ap- preciate a fine touch, but when it is ac- quired it is alone sufficient to estimate the feeding properties of ap ox. In a fat ani- mal the position of the flesh on the carcass is a great consideration. The finest meat lies on the loins and rump and on the fore and middle ribs. Consequently that ox that carries the largest quantity of heef on these parts is the most valuable. The oth- er parts, of various qualities, and used for soups and salting, do not fetch the high price of the parts described. The point on top of the rump is the first part of a feed- ing ox that shows the fat, and the parts that are last in being covered with flesh are the top of the shonlder aud the point of the shoulder joints. When these points are felt to be well covered then the other and better parts may be considered to be in perfection, and a prime condition may be expected. But the general handling must establish the real condition, for there is a wide difference between the apparent and real fatness of an ox. The flesh of an ox that appears very fat to the eye may feel loose and flabby, hut a truly. fattened animal always feels ‘‘band fat.”” Such handlers never deceive the butchers, while loose futtenings never kill well.

' Buttons are the most conspicuous dec- orative feature of the season, without doubt, and a whole chapter could be devoted to their elegance and variety. Gold buttons are much used on coats and outer wraps of all kinds, and even on hats; wherever, in short, the military touch is desired. Art buttons form a olass in themselves, and are very expensive, being, indeed, almost as ornate and elaborate as jewelry. Smart tailor-made gowns are trimmed with many rows of very small buttons. Dressy coats of velvet and silk are exquis- itely ornamented with jeweled buttons, both art nouvean and antique. Up to the fifteenth year most young peo- ple require ten hours’ sleep, and till the twentieth year nine hours. After that age everyone finds out how much he or she re- quires, though, as a general rule, at least six to eight hours are necessary. Eight rangements in women than any medicine can cure. During growth there must be ample sleep if the brain is to develop to its fullest extent, and the more nervous, ex- citable or precocious a child is the longer sleep it should get if its intellectual prog- ress is not to come to a premature stand- still or its life cut short at an early age. Regular exercise is one of the best means of reducing superfluous flesh, but to do any good it must be taken systematically every day, and in the open air if possible. It is a mistake to begin by taking tremendous walks, unless accustomed to much walk- ing. The best way is to commence with very moderate exercise, say, walking two miles a day, or even less, and increasing this distance gradually. Where outdoor exercise is not possible calisthenics may be resorted to with almost equally beneficial results. Bat the rule which applies to walking is also applicable with regard to calisthenics. Exercise with light clubs or horizontal bars should be of short duration for the first few weeks. By using patience and perseverance the stout girl will soon surprise herself and friends by her greatly improved appearance. The pretty fashion of cutting children’s dresses low in the neck with a white lawn guimpe is a favorite one this fall. The gowns have half sleeves which show the white lawn sleeves of the guimpe. There is a double advantage in this fashion. Not only is it extremely becoming, but it en- ables a child to make a neater appearance, since the sleeves of the gown are protected from the dust and soil of school desks. The guimpes are so inexpensive that they may be changed once a day or oftener, if nec- essary. Scotch plaids are used for girls’ school dresses in preference to almost any other material.

It is estimated that about 5.2 per cent. of the corn crop of 1902 wae secured in the bands of farmers on November 1, 1903, as compared with 1.9 per cent. of the crop of 1901 in farmers’ hands on Nov- ember 1, 1902, 4.6 percent. of the crop of 1900 in farmers’ hands on November 1, 1901, and a six years’ average of 6.1 per cent. The preliminary estimates of the average yield per acre of buckwheat is 17.7 bushels against an average yield per acre of 18.1 bushels in 1902, 18.6 bushels in 1901 and a ten year average of 17.6 bushels. The plurality estimates of the average yield per acre of potatoes is 84.7 bushels against an average yield of 96.0 bushels in 1902, 65.5 bushels in 1901 and a ten year average of 79.5 bushels.

The average as to quality is 85.9 per cent. Buzzard Charged With Chicken Theft, Reformed Outiaw, Cool ahd Collected, Listens to Tales of Raid. Abe Buzzard, the reformed Welsh moun- tain outlaw, who has spent 30 of his 52 years in jail was Friday held in $1,500 bail for court on the charge of wholesale chick- en stealing. Half a dozen or more farmers from Berks and neighboring counties appeared at the hearing before Magistate Kreider and told of Buzzard’s alleged raids on their chick- en farms in the last few months. They claimed they were held up at the point of a revolver, and even shot at, when they caught their prisoner in the act. They identified as their property a lot of tnrkeys and chickens which were in Buzzard’s pos- session when arrested. A Reading produce dealer said he bought from 40 to 100 chickens from Buzzard every week since last spring. In the face of it all Buzzard was cool and collected. He was securely handcuffed during the hearing as, knowing his quali- ties, the officials were afraid he wonld make a break for liberty. Several hundred gath- ered to see him taken to and from jail. Killed By Charge From His Own Gun. Boyd Johnson,aged 18 vears,of Muncy val- ley, Lycoming, county was almost instant- ly killed Friday morning by a charge from bis own gun, which was accidently dis- charged. The young man was hunting in the woods about two miles from his home and was standing upon a stump of a free watching for a rabbit, his gun standing beside him. The weapon slipped down and was discharged entering his right side just below the ribs. A boy who was with him was near enough to hear him say‘'I am shot.”” He lived but a few minutes longer. ——Paure food agents have secured sam- ples of Hamburg steak at fifteen butcher shops in Altoona and found the meat pre- served with salicylic acid.
