il FARM NOTES.
—Pin up two facis to be considered when
you are discouraged : There are fewer busi-
ness failures among farmers than any otber
class; more men begin without capital and
hecome owners of good business in farming
than in any other vocation.
—When manure is spread on the ground
at this season it should be on heavy soil,as
the matter leached ont will not be lost, but
on very light sandy soil it is better to ap-
ply the manure in the spring. Where the
rains have a tendency to wash the land a
loss of soluble matter will result, and in
applying manure the ‘lay of the land”
should always be considered.
—Fall management of bees consists sim-
ply in taking away all surplus combs and
honey as soon as the honey season closes,
and the best combs in the hives should be
left for the bees. Those having the largest
amount of sealed and the least unsealed
honey are the best. All farther manage-
ment during fall and winter is the same as
with double-story hives.
—Failure with climbing roses and honey-
suckles on porches or verandas may be due
to too much water dripping from the roof,
or to lack of proper preparation of the
ground. Oue of the plans that may be
parsaed is to dig a trench, a foot or more
deep, and nearly fill it with decomposed
manure, then plant the vines and give an
application of fertilizer every spring. Lack
of plant food is likely to occur when the
plants are well grown, as they cannot make
heavy growth without taking the soil.
—In making a selection of an appropriate
sitnation for a garden one should be chosen
which will receive throughout the day,but
more especially in the morning, the full
benefit of the san. A gentle slope to the
south and east is always preferable. The
close proximity to large trees should be
avoided, as their ever-greedy roots would
absorb the nutriment which the vegetables
require, and their shade deprive them of
light and heat. Vegetables can never be
brought to maturity in a retired or shady
spot. A garden should be as near the
dwelling as possible.
—Timothy and clover have been seeded
on the same land, asa rule, almost since
they became known, but, as they do not
mature at the same time, it is a mistake to
grow them together if some other grass can
be substituted for the timothy to sow with
the clover. Orchard grass blossoms at the
same time as clover, and, as it isa grass
that seldom fails, grows rapidly and is rel-
ished by stock, it should receive more con-
sideration than is given it. It grows in
tussocks, hut that shonld be no objection,
as it yields well and is adapted to nearly
all soils.
—Less water is required when the ra-
tion consists largely of concentrated feeds
than when large amounts of coarse fodder
are consumed. Of course when green,
succulent feeds are given the amount of
water needed is comparatively small.
Horses consume from 25 to 90 pounds of
water a day, depending upon the amount
of labor they perform. At the Oklahoma
station a pair of mules during hot weath-
er drank 250 pounds.in one day. The
feed at that time consisted of kafir corn,
ordinary field corn, oats and bran.--Orange
Judd Farmer.
—Wood ashes should be carefally saved
under shelter. They-are rich in both pot-
ash and lime. When purchasing wood
ashes do not overlook the fact that dry
ashes absorb moisture from the atmosphere
and the weight varies according to the
weather. No estimation of the composi-
tion of wood ashes can he considered reli-
able, as much depends upon the kinds of
wood from which they are obtained, but it
is not far out of the way to claim that 100
pounds contains about 40 pounds of lime,
6 pounds of potash and 2 pounds of phos-
phoric acid.
—Good roads are absolutely essential to
the development of good schools in the
rural districts, and both together are nec-
essary to the progress of civilization in this
country. Good roads are scarce, partly
because the need of them is not sufficient-
ly recognized and partly because so few
know how to make them even when they
try. Good schools are scarce for precisely
the same reasons. When a country school
house looks like an abandoned outbuild-
ing and has the worst piece of road in the
neighborhood leading up to it, that dis-
trict may always be considered an excel-
lent district in which not to buy a farm.
~— Prairie Farm. .
—If one caunot afford, or it is not con-
venient to buy a roller. here is a plan of
one, which I have made and used with
much satisfaction. *I have found it to do
satisfactory work in mashing clods, rolling
young corn land, etc. I take a round log
which is smooth, free from knots, solid
and heavy. Inch iron pins are driven in
at each end. These should have a good
head, so that the 2x6 inch scantling, which
is 2} feet long, may be held secnrely in
place. To the end of each scantling is a
short chain about one foot long to hitch
horses to. Spread checks on team and go
ahead. Cut the scantling longer at lower
edge; aud in going down hill it will scrape
on the ground and not run on the team.
—J. W. Stevens, in Farm and Home.
—There is no necessity for feeding grain
to horses in winter if they are not at work.
Hay contains more mineral matter, starch
and protein than an idle horse will require,
and grain, then, is of no advantage. It is
proper, however, to give horses a variety.
A mess of scalded hran once or twice a
week, with carrots every day, will be am-
ple. Some farmers make their horses too
fac. While it is well to bave horses in fine
condition, yet hey are not benefited when
excessively fat. In order to exercise horses
in winter they should be made to do duty
at the tread powers, so as to thresh and
elean the grain, saw wood and grind and
out food. . The horses will keep in better
health by doing some kind of work.
—One of the most desirable adjuncts to
a good dairy farm, and at the same time
the hardest to get, isa good, hard barn-
yard that will not poach:up by the con-
stant treading of the cows in wet weather.
At the Hoard’s Dairyman farm we have
succeed in constructing just such a yard,
and that, too, in a comparatively inexpen-
sive manner. The soil underlying the
yard, wherein run about filty cows and
heifers, is a heavy clay. Any one of ex-
perience knews what that sort of soil means
in a web time.
ago we drew three carloads of coal cinders,
and it was soon as hard as a macadamized
road, and has continued so to this day. It
is easily scraped by the use of a two-horse
barnyard scraper, and there is never any
mud in it. When we remember the old-
fashioned barnyard, with the cows wallow-
ing knee-deep in manure, we bless the day
that set us to making a coal cinder yard.
Into this yard three years |
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
A rather light shade of old blue makes a
charming background fora black walnut
bed room set. The bed, when dressed
with one of the new spreads in the soft
blue of new denim, with bands of blue and
white cretonne and side draperies of the
same over white muslin at the windows,
gives a strikingly dainty effect.
Handkerchief work is as much in vogue
this year as ever for home-made gifts. A
hib for the baby, a dainty corset cover for
the society girl,a dust cap made from a
colored handkerchief for the matron are all
acceptable, yet inexpensive.
White holds its own in an astonishing
manner in the glove world. Black gloves,
with white points, stitching and sometimes
welts, are among the new ideas. Other
fashionable shades are medium and dark
mole (the latter often leading into beaver
or medium tan), gun-metal or platinum
gray, a yellow that is sometimes called ca-
nary and sometimes chrome, chamois or
buff and a few blue shades.
In selecting furs for a Christmas present,
bear in mind the long-stoled pelerine the
flat muff, and the fur cravat are the vogue.
Fringe as a trimming featnre is, also, very
new and smart.
Though rainy days do not mean short
skirts for show wear, not a few will take
such an opportunity for donning them.
Young women aud girls who follow the
classes closely of a morning will like to
embrace this time of day for appearing in
this most convenient length of skirt. A
particularly smart and sporty one that has
just been evolved is in deep blue, the al-
ways sensible, stand-by color for more or
less sporty wear. This one is in a stun-
ning quality of cheviot serge, supposed to
shed water, like a duck, and, indeed, it is
-as trim and suug-built as the water fowl.
The coat is as much like a corset coat as
any model, and fits to perfection, though
many sporty dressers will invariably cling
to the box shape which comes to the hips
or below.
The skirt is cut in nine gores and has
nothing of the slimpy look around the feet,
sach as many have bad. Rather does it
incline to stand well out which suggests to
one that it must have some slight inter-
lining in the facing. This one flares a
great deal at the foot, and thereby avoids
the undeniably stingy appearance to which
we have become accustomed.
Pleats are ‘‘it.’’ Box pleats rival side
pleats. Tripleand quadruple pleats are
featured. Many entire costumes are done
in pleats. Most skirts are pleated in some
form. Pleated evening coats are in evi-
dence. Some shaped flonnces gain yet
more fullness by being pleated. Sleeves
gained the additional breadth by means of
ubigunitous pleat. Pleated blouses caught
into pleated girdles are a feature of new
costumes. When girdles are pleated the
pleats are so laid as to go ’round and
‘round. Many of the pleated, skirts are so
out up and elaborated that one fails to
recognize them. Very many of the pleat-
ed costumes are stitched a good part of the
way down. No skirt trails out with more |
grace than the one which is built in pleats.
Happy the woman who can afford a
‘get.’
Not every woman can.
These sets are of various kinds.
The far set--neckpiece, muff and toque--
is the very height of modishness. Fre-
quently the fur is combined with lace,
chiffon or velvet, and the set reaches the
height of elaborateness; but there are, too,
simpler sets in combination furs, with per-
haps a brush aigrette, cockade or chon of
velvet to trim the jaunty fur-toque.
These sets are carried out in various
furs, both the gray and the brown furs are
used. The boat shape and flats iron shape
turban are especially suited to fur. The
entire turban may be of far, or just the
brim, with crown of tulle, lace, chiffon,
silk or velvet. Ostrich plames trim these
fur toques, and the shaded plumes are very
beautiful. Velvet flowers are used also.
The shaded reddish purple roses and
dahlias are charming with both gray and
brown furs. White camelias are effective
on the gray furs and pink roses with brown
fars.
Then there are ‘‘sets’’ of chenille. The
chenille is gathered cleverly on chiffon, so
that the pelerine and muff look as though
they were formed of nothing but the soft,
silky chenille. These sets are handsome
aud usefal in black chenille and lovely in
brown chenile. :
Charming for the evening are the sets of
chiffon, net or taffeta silk, made fluffy and
fascinating with lace, ribbon, marabout or
touches of fur. One of the daintiest sets
bad a pelerine made with white taffeta,
silk foundation : on this were set three
narrow bands of swansdown, with just a
little wider ruffle of pleated cream point
d’esprit, edged with narrow ribbon be-
tween. The muff was a captivating af-
fair, with a centre made of bands of swans-
down and narrow 1uffles of the pleated
point d’esprit ; fluffy inside ruffles of the
silk and esprit net, trimmed with swans-
down and narrow ribbon fell daintily on
the hands.
A woman is never at such a disadvantage
as when she is angry, and the woman who
can maintain her dignity and keep her
temper within bounds wili almost every
time master the situation.
Girl to Admire. She is neat and a pio-
ture of harmopy in the matter of gowning.
Her belt doesn’t swear at her collar nor
are hoth on bad terms with her hat.
Her dress is smart and businesslike for
the office. :
. But for the festive occasions she is as
dainty and fluffy and picturesque as can be
desired.
She is always sunny and good-natured.
But she is not insane.
She is cheerful and sympathetic.
She has a wholesome sense of humor.
But she can he witty without hurting
other people's feelings thereby.
She is not morbid or melancholy, and
her stock of philosophy enables her to put
blues to the rout.
Yon see her every day, on the streets, in
the shops, a generous, sensible, cheery,
whole-souled girl. And you like her and
are cheered by her if you but buy a spool
of thread from her.
The loose hanging beil sleeve is a fea-
ture of many coats. Frequently it isso
out as to give a double or triple effect, and
this same double or triple effect is to be
seen in the skirt and in the short bolero.
Turbans are very fashiouable head gear,
and they are made narrower than formerly.
The smartest are shaded with different
tones of velvet.
A skirt made entirely of superposed folds
almost imperceptibly gradaated from seven
inches at the hem to four at the waist is
among the immediate novelties. A slight
upward slant at the back gives an addi-
tional air of chic.
Barned Girl! Slew Wife.
Governmant Printer Commits Shocking Crime. Ends
Tragedy with Suicide.
Fearing exposure of his relations with
Miss Margaret Hale, who died unger sus-
picious circumstaUCes In a savlfarjum on
Monday, Robert F. Hale, a compositor in
the government Printing office, at Wash-
ington, D. C., shot and killed his wife and
then committed suicide ab his home. Hale
had posed as the ¢0usin of Miss Margaret
Hale and was a frequent caller on her, She
was employed in the bindery of the gov-
ernment printing office, but several monthe
ago her health failed and she went to her
home in Marietta, O-» returning here Nov.
5th. Ten days ago she went to the Brent-
mar sanitarium at Brentwood, Md. She
died there on Monday, and Dr. Joseph C.
Ohlendort gave a certificate of death from
heart failure. As a result of an ‘investiga-
tion Dr. Ohlendorf was placed under arrest
op a charge of murder.
Hale knew nothing of the police investi-
gation of Miss Madge Hale's death until
be read a morning newspaper. He was
identified in the newspaper account as Miss
Hale's only visitor. In a note addressed
to his wife he wrote :
To Fannie, the best woman in the world,
unfortunately married to a degenerate.
Think kindly of me sometimes, as there
were few virtues that were mine. Have
my remains cremated, that there will be
neither name nor remembrance. Collect
insurance from National Union and Equita-
ble Life. Find building association book
in vest pocket. Collect money from Typo-
graphical Union; $310.
Another note, which was not addressed,
reads :
I have disgraced myself; I bave disgrac-
ed my wife. I write this that all may
know she was not to blame in any way,
shape or manner for my perfidy. She was
too grand, too noble and too honorable,
and if I had done asshe always wanted me
to, the end would not be as it is—death
and disgrace to me.
James Ray, a compositor, occupied a
room on the top floor of the Hale home
and heard two reports early that morning.
He left the house shortly before 9 o'clock,
and, on returning, saw no signs of Mr. and
Mis. Hale and opened the door of their
sleeping room. There he saw Mrs. Hale
lying, with a bullet wound in her right
temple, and her hushand on the other side
of the bed. Both were dead. Mrs. Hale
apparently was shot while asleep.
Hale and his wife were at a theatre that
night, and, returning late, ate luncheon at
their home. So far as any of their friends
know, there had been no quarrels between
them. On two or three occasions Miss
Madge Hale had called at Hale's home.
Hale came to Washington from Scran-
ton, and had lived here about 15 years.
His wife was a Miss Fannie Rearnon and
her home was at Horsehead, near Elmira,
N. Y. She first married a man named
Franeis, who died, and subsequently she
became the wife of Hale. He was 52 years
old and a stylish dresser.
Small-Pox in the State.
At a recent meeting of the State Board
of Health. The report of the secretary, Dr.
Benjamin Lee, of Philadelphia the secre-
tary read his yearly report. It was a vol-
uminous document, covering all phases of
the State’s health during the year. Special
attention wae given to statistics on small-
pox. According to the report nearly 50
per cent. of the small-pox cases in the State
during the year were in Allegheny county
and over 75 per cent. of the whole were in
counties west of the Allegheny mountains.
The record gives Allegheny county 3,010
cases were 362 deaths. The other counties
combined develop 3,016 cases with seventy-
one deaths. In Philadelphia there were
948 cases and 138 deaths. Cambria county
came next with 445 cases and twenty-five
deaths.

The Mistletoe.
Some Old-Time Rules Not Always Observed
Mistletoe was sacred because its berries
grow in clusters of three—emblematic of
the Trinity. They used to bang bits
around ‘their necks as a safegnard from
witches, but in modern times it leads us to-
ward witches of a more attractive kind.
The maid that was not caught and kissed
under the mistletoe at Christmas wonld
not be married within the year, so the
tradition goes. According to the old rules,
says Country Life in America, the ceremony
is not properly performed unless a berry
is pulled off after each kiss and presented
to the maiden. When all the berries were
gone the privilege ceased.
