ET ————— Bellefonte, Pa., February; 5th, 1904. ll Le a i i ——— FARM NOTES. Mud and dirt breed vermin and produce skin diseases in the hog. Early breeding of sows nearly always causes weakness of the pigs. The best and cheapest pork ie from hogs that have never been wintered. A pig that is stunted early in life should never be used as a breeder. If asow is in good flesh she can be bred inajweek’s time after weaning. The bealth of the hogs depends in a large measure upon their surroundings. —Whether or not fruit trees should be ses in the fall or spring depends largely upon the conditions and location. It is now conceded by the most practical fruit growers that early spring is the best time to set them out. However, the trees should be purchased in the fall and secured early enough before they can be heeled in where they will be perfectly secure and protected during the winter months. The ground should be in thorough condition as early in the spring as possible, and the trees set out. —One of the best combinations that oan be used on the general farm or on a place that is making a specialty of dairy work consists of cows and poultry. When the milk is sold off of the farm the combina- tion is not so good.- Poultry makes the keeping of cows more profitable for two reasons. The chickens will peck up much that the cows would waste and that the hogs would miss. The chickens will also develop wonderfully on milk during their growing period. Milk is also a fine egg producer. Much milk is given to hogs that should be given to chickens. When it comes to a question whether hogs or chickens will produce the most profitable returns from milk depend on it that the chickens always win against the hogs. —The writer has been taken to task be- cause he insists that the majority of farm- ers do not feed their horses sufficiently heavy. It is understood that this applies to the horses that are expected to do heavy farm work only, although many of them are obliged to do such work and all of the road work besides. Statistics show that horses in cities are much better fed than those on the farm. For example, the average road horse in the city the cab horse and the horse drawing loads of about that weight are fed fourteen to fifteen pounds of oats and ten to twelve pounds of hay daily, where corn is a portion of the ration the proportions are about fifteen pounds of corn, ten pounds of oats and fif- teen pounds of hay. The rations of the dray horse, whose work is nearer to that done by the farm horse, is at least one-half more than the figures given for the horses doing lighter work. Compare these rations with those fed by the average farmer. How many farmers feed oats as part of the regular ration? How many of them feed hay? In too many cases the ration is corn for grain and corn stover for roughage. + Is it any wonder that farm horses are quickly worn out?—Indianapolis News. If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing well, an adage that applies to or- chard operations as well as to other af- fairs of life. A tour of five months through orchard sections has convinced the writer that not one orchardist in a dozen does the work of spraying properly and thoroughly. They seem to have an idea that the insecticide used is one which destroys the insect or scale with its fumes, when, as a matter of fact, it mustcome into direcs contact with the scale to be effective. While most of the recognized formulas for sale are effective if properly used, the g0-called cold application is preferable, for while most expensive in the matter of ingredients, much time is saved in its use. Take twenty pounds of sulphur and thin to a paste with water. Slake forty . pounds of lime, and when it is about half slaked stir in the sulphur mixture, using at the same time caustic soda ground and in the proportion of one pound to each pound of the sulphur. Add water and mix thoroughly, using sixty gallons of water in completing the mixture, including that used in slaking the lime and mixing the sulphur. Apply to the trees thorough- ly, so that when the tree has been sprayed it will look as if covered with flonr. This mixture leaves the bark of the tree clean and will destroy the scale if done thorough- ly and in time. —Indianapolis News —Though locomotion is detrimental to the yield of milk, it is a mistake to sup- pose that uninterrupted confinement in the stall is the most economical treatment fo a milch cow, Close confinement, with impure air and lack of exercise, is as prej- udicial to the health of cows as to that of human beings. With moderate locomotive exeroise the slight redaction in quantity of milk appears to be fully compensated by the increased yield of solids. Munk un- dertook to settle this point, and experi- mented with 30 cows and found that when they were allowed balf an hour daily ex- ercise the total quantity of milk as well as the fat and casein, increased, though much | exercise exerted an adverse influence on the milk. ‘When cows are on grass their indreased appetites:in the presence of an abundance of food guite makes up for any loss incurred in the movement necessary to obtain that food. Hence it is desirable that seall fed milch cows should have daily exercise. Very violent exercise sometimes has the effect of producing very much change in the quality as well as the quan- tity. It alwaye has the effect of lessening the quantity, bat the effect upon the chemical composition = is. not known. There are numerous instances, however, in which the physological effect of taking milk from an exhansted animal has proven injurious. It is generally recognized that it is uneafe to allow a calf or colt to suckle when the dam is overheated. On Aug. 10, 1891, at Bourbon, Ind., the following oase occurred: A valuable mare owned by Mrs. C. bad been used at the harrow while her six weeks’ old colt had been left in the shade. The mare fretted greatly and was worked a couple of hours longér than usual to finish a piece of work. The foal was allowed to suckle as soon as. she stopped work. It died in abous four hours. No cause could be as- signed except the posgibility of the milk having become altered by fretting, heat and exertion. i Recently promulgated theories of dark, warm stables and no exercise for. profitable milk production are withous rational basis and lead to disastrous results sooner or later. Attached to the cowhouse should be an exercise yard, a part of which shonld be roofed. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Paris says that the large, full-gathered ruffled skirts of the period of 1830 are to be worn this year—but the materials will be soft muslins, silks, tussorsand other supple fabrics. The favored bedroom color schemes at present are green and pink, yellow and white, gray and yellow, green and brown, and yellow, lavender and green. Muslin curéains are used almost exclusively these days at bedroom windows to give the de- sired atmosphere of simplicity. Green wall coverings has the effect of con- traoting a room, while yellow apparently ex pands it. Large curtain knobs of glass or gilt are the fashionable craze at present for the cur- tains of a Colonial room. The old-time hall rack is a thing of the past as far as fashion or artisticness are con- cerned. A coat closet is provided for fami- ly uses,and a caller lays his hat on the hall table. : Women watching the arrival of new tailored suits are beginning to see which way the spring fashion wind will blow. It is gradually swinging round from the very long coat to the short Paris Eton, which someway seems lighter and less bulky for warm weather. These little coats are snug in the back, but hang loose in the front, like a coffee jacket, depending on a high, rather point- ed girdle to give the long slender waist lines. Skirts, too, are changing—growing fuller and more graceful. But all the fullness comes from just below the hips, by clever turning and stitching of pleats and tucks. Use the following simple but effectual remedy to remove fruit stains, and there will be no signs of the stains left. To a two ounce bottle of good whisky put one heap- ing tablespoonful of gum camphor. Shake well before using. Keep the bottle handy when counting the soiled clothes, and ap- ply freely to every fruit stain. Do not rinse it out and when the articles return from the laundry you will find them as spotless as when new. A dainty little addition to the 5 o’clock tea table, consists of any thin fine crackers spread thickly with the following mixture: To a cup of English walnuts, almonds and peanuts, chopped fine, add the well-beaten white of an egg mixed with enough sugar to make a thick icing. Place the crackers in the oven and brown lightly. These wa- fers have a sweet, nutty flavor that is much liked as an accompaniment fora cup of steaming fragrant tea. An excellent tooth powder that is inex- pensive, pure and efficient may be easily made by anyone. Mix two ounces of pul- verized borax with four ounces of preoipi- tated chalk; add one ounce each of pow- dered myrrh and pulverized orris. Sift through fine bolting cloth, and it is ready for use. Tooth powder bottles with adjus- table covers, such as shop powder is put up in, may be saved and filled with the home- made product. No matter how plainly a woman may be attired it is wonderful what charm is added by the delicate touch of white to the neck and wrist. There are various methods and materials used to finish the neck. Among others tulle seems popular, and, though be coming and soft, it is quite perishable and’ hence expensive, and then you have no cuff to matoh. = All this is overcome by the pos- session of one or several sets of the Mexi- can hand-drawn work. They are wonder- fully strong in texture and launder beauti- fally, and when worn at the throat and and wrist and fastened with the small gold or enameled pins the effect is that of refined good taste. Particularly is this the case when worn with a black gown, the touches of white livening the sombre appear- ance. The colonial mirror fad steadily grows. The large rectangular mirror to go over col- onial mantles has become quite familiar, bat now all the designs used by our great- great-great-great-grandfathers and grand- mothers are in vogue. Simple frames pan- eled at the top with colored prints or with hand paintings in very ‘‘old-timey, effects and small oval and circular mirrors, with just the correct amount of ornamentation as used in early colonial times, are now peed in the furnishing of the fashionable ouse. Don’t belong to the ‘‘old folks’? and nod through the evening hours because your boy is at college. Don’t attempt repair and preservation of beauty with paints, | powders and veils. Take plenty of exer- cise, stand erect, sit erect. When you speak let your voice possess volume and en- ergy. When you think, think free- y. Don’t say you haven’ time for the after- noon’s ‘‘forty winks.” Take it, and your renewed strength will show in a freshened complexion. A half hour’s nap after lunch- eon will do more to e-adicate wrinkles than all the beautifiers in the world. Don’ think that a life of ease and luxu- ry is essential to preserving youthful, deli- cate looks. . A certain amount of work and exercise is necessary to keep the muscles firm and elastic and the flesh hard. Don’t let go of love or love of romance. They are amulets against wrinkles. Not all of the world’s homage are poured at the feet of girlhood. Don’t fancy tliat the dew of youth, with ite complexion of roses, is alone able to in- spire passion. A woman's beet and rish- est years are from thirty to forty. The old say about ‘‘sweet sixteen’’ is explod- ed. Don’t be glam if yon want to be young. Dance and sing, and, above all, laugh. Ride drive, row,swim and walk a mile—or make it three—daily. Keep yonr heart young, and thus defy Father Time.

We are alone, absolutely alone, on this chance planet, and amid all the forms of life that surround us not one, ex- cepting the dog, has made an alliance with us. A few creatures fear us, most are unaware of us, and not one loves us. In the world of plants we have dumb and motionless slaves, but they serve us in spite of themselves. They simply endure our laws and our yoke. They are impotent prisoners, victims incapable of escaping, bui silently re- bellious, and so soon as we lose sight of them they hasten to betray us and return to their former wild and mis- chievous liberty. The rose and the corn, had they wings, would fly at our ap- proach like the birds. : Among the animals we number a few servants who have submitted only through indifference, cowardice or stu- pidity—the uncertain and craven horse, ‘who responds only to pain and is at- tached to nothing; the passive and de- jected ass, who stays with us only be- cause he knows not what to do nor where to go, but who nevertheless un- der the cudgel and the pack saddle re- tains the idea that lurks behind his ears; the cow and the ox, happy so long as they are eating and docile because for centuries they have not had a thought of their own; the affrighted sheep, who knows no other master than terror; the heny who is faithful to the poultry yard because she finds more maize and wheat there than in the neighboring forest. I do not speak of the cat, to whom we are nothing more than a too large and uneatable prey, the ferocious cat, whose sidelong con- tempt tolerates us only as incumbering parasites in our own homes. She, at ieast, heart, but all the others live beside us as they might live beside a rock or a tree. They do not love us, do not know us, scarcely notice us. They are un- aware of our life, our death, our depar- ture, our return, our sadness, our joy, our smile. They do not even hear the sound of our voice as soon as it no lon- ger threatens them, and when they look at us it is with the distrustful be- wilderment of the horse, in whose eye still hovers the infatuation of the elk or gazel that sees us for the first time, or with the dull stupor of the rumi- nants, who look upon us as a momen- tary and useless accident of the pas- ture.—Maurice Maeterlinck in Century. He Liked Young People, In his last work, “Facts and Com- ments,” Herbert Spencer gives a cu- rious bit of self revelation. He con- fesses that, though he particularly liked the society of young people, it bored him to an unendurable extent if they worried him with unintelligent chatter, and that to avoid this it was his cus- tom to ask them some question which “could not be answered without a good deal of thought. He was accustomed to base his judgment of their intellects upon the answers returned, and we can well imagine that those who were sud- denly confronted with some such prob- lem as “Why is the sea salt?” must have regarded a drive with the great philosopher as something of an ordeal. —London Globe.

The Pittsburg Times is a conservative, careful newspaper for particalar people. Its statements of fact and comments on them are concise and correct. Its depart. ments are in charge of experts, and its au- thority. in all matters pertaining to the events'of the world at large and of the community it represents more particularly is recognized. If has no Sunday edition, and its position in that regard in Pittsburg is as unique as its thorough reliability in every way. Strongly Republican in poli- ical policy it yet gives all the news of all parties, Its moral tone is high, and church- men of every creed find in its columns more news of their interests and work than in all its cotemporaries combined. Sports are given the prominence they deserve and no more. The news concerning them is bright, timely and adequate, for the work is done by a master. Theaters in the Times as in no other paper have the truth told ahout them and the plays they offer. No business considerations ever interfere with the publication of criticisms that really criticise, and in this department, too, the work is done by a master. Society and the affairs of women find careful and complete exposition on the page devoted to them. Industrial matters are accorded the promi- nence they merit in a Pittsburg paper, while the stock market is given the atten- tion that has brought the Times into the front rank of financial anthorities. Above all the Times is a model not only of brevity of statement but of dignified simplicity in its typographical appearance. It offends neither the eye nor the sensibilities. Those things that are of importance are treated accordingly. Those that are unimportant are handled in keeping with their value, Each issue of the Zimes is a day’s history of events the wide world round. Its price is one cent daily or $3 a year. Butler Releases Fund. The General Relief Committee of Butler Friday afternoon sent a telegraph to Mayor W. B. Hays, of Pittsburg, asking that the balance of the funds in his bands for the Butler typhoid sufferers be transferred to the proper authorities for the benefit of the widows and orphans of the Harwick Mine disaster. About $3,000 remain of the fund raised in Pittsburg for the Butler sufferers, while Mayor Hays has forwarded $6,000 to the Butler Relief Committee. ——Telegraph operators on the Middle division of the Pennsylvania railroad have been notified that after February 1st, they will be put on eight hour shifts.
