SRE Tenorriic; fates Bellefonte, Pa., March 18th, 1904. FARM NOTES. —Cherry-trees exude gum whenever in- jured, whether by borers or otherwise. The most common cause of gum showing in spots is the common borer, which occa- sionally is very abundant, Wherever such indications are found, the bark will gener- ally be dead near the gum, and if cut into with a penknife it will be quite easy to take out the borers. This shounld be done at least twice in a season—in June and again in August. If this treatment is per- sisted in it will have the effect of keeping the trees from serious injury by the borers. Another cause of gumming is found in a disease known as gummosis, which occa- sionally is very abundant. There is no satisfactory remedy for it, and the best treatment is to dig up and destroy the trees. > —It becomes more and more evident each year that much of the sickness preva- lent in the country is directly attributable to the quality of the water. By careful studying the matter it is found that in nine cases out of ten typhoid fevers originate in families whose water supply is from a well, into which impure water comes. This may be from the farm-yard, and quite generally such is the case. For some years the water in a well near the house may be pure and wholesome, but by-and-by the soil between it and the barn-yard will become so im- pregnated with pollution that an unhealthy quality will be imparted to it, and disease will result from its use. This is almost sure to be the case when the distance be- tween the two is not great, because, as a general thing, the bottom of the well is lower than the yard, and the drainage from the latter will extend in all directions through the most porous strata of soil, and when it reaches the well it will naturally flow into it as a reservoir. No matter how pure the water may have been when the well was first dug, sooner or later it will be contaminated by water flowing through the soil from barnyards and cess-pools lo- cated anywhere near it. We have in mind a case in which four cobildren died from diphtheria. An examination by the phy- sician proved that the slops from the kitch- en had so filled the soil for a distance of twenty feet between the back door, out of which they were thrown, and the use of it, diphtheria had certainly resulted. When making a well, have it if possible, above the barnyard, and let the drain- age be from it rather than into it. Arrange a place for slops with a cement bottom and sides, from which glazed pipes, cemented together, allow the unhealthy matter to flow off and away from the well. —To have early vegetables one should make a hot-bed, but if it is nnt convenient to have one no difficulty will be experienc- ! ed in purchasing plants, such as tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, ete., from the seed stores. A. dozen tomato plants and half a dozen egg plants will supply a small fami- ly. Some plants are tender and are casily killed by frosts, but onions, peas, radish, lettuce, beets, parsnips and carrots may be put in the ground early—that is, as soon as the frost comes out of the soil. A small garden should be deeply spaded and raked fine. Wel -rotted manure should he work- ed in, and the seed should be planted with care. Onions are usually grown from sets, a quart of sets being the usnal amount for a small garden. They are simply pressed in- to the row of fine earth. Peas should be covered about two inches, but small seeds require but half an inch. Always press the earth well on the seeds after covering. Potatoes, pumpkins and melons are not considered suitable for a small garden, nor is sweet corn, unless one has the room to spare for such crops. Nothing is gained by planting the seeds in the ground before it is warmed, as seeds will not germinate when the ground is cold. THE TENDER PLANTS. After all danger of frost is over,which is usually about the time the apple trees are in blossom ( May, in this latitude), tomato plants may be put out, as they are tender and willnot endure frost. Peasfor a latter crop, Lima beans, string beans, squash, egg plants and late cabbage, as well as sweet corn and melons may then be planted. The garden crops that do not take much room to grow may be planted in rows of suffi- cient distance apart to permit of using a hoe (about 18 inchesapart), but corn, tomatoes, egg plants and Lima beans require from one yard to four feet between the rows, ac- cording to condition of growth. The most important matter with the beginner is to keep down grass and weeds between the rows. To have a large garden on a farm is to extend the bill of fare, and it can be ar- ranged to permit of working with the horse hoe, but the suburban garden work must be done with a band-hoe or a wheel-hoe. There is more pleasure ip working a garden than may be supposed, and it will promote the health of anyone who engages in such employment. . BEGINNERS IN GARDENING. As there are a hundred and one details in gardening,and several different varieties of each vegetable, the beginner should pro- care books on gardenigg, which can be had of any seedsman, and also permit the seeds- man to select for him the varieties most suitable for his location, as an inexperienc- ed person will easily make mistakes in se- lection. The seed catalogues describe methods of planting, but some varieties of vegetables are better adapted for stock feed- ing than for the table, whilesome are early in maturing and others are late. Frequent- ly two crops may be had on the same plot during the year,such as early peas followed by late cabbage, or turnips following onions but the soil mast be rich and well supplied with manure or fertilizer. One advantage with a small garden is that during very dry periods some of the crops may be wa- tered by the use of a hose and sprinkler. Inexperienced persons should not expect complete success the first year, but there is nothing too difficult to learn, and the sec- ond season will prove satisfactory if th weather does not become too dry. : SMALL FRUITS. The principal small fruits are strawber- ries, raspberries and blackberries, but gooseherries, currants and grapes ave also included. The most profitable fruits are those that receive attention during the en- tire year. The strawberry will thrive and hear well with bat little cultivation on some soils, and often receives no care after the plants have heer set ont other than to run the cultivator down the rows once or twice, bat it will pay well for any extra labor that may be applied, however. The largest berries are grown from plants in single stools, but the largest yields are us- ually obtained from the matted row system The first essential is to get the young plants | in the ground as early as possible, so as to afford them an opportunity to grow and make headway before the dry season may come. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. And dost thou love life. Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of, as poor Richard says. If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality,since loss time is never found again and what we call time enongh often proves little enough. So employ the time well if thon meanest to gain leisure; and since thou are not sure of a minute throw not away an hour.— Benjamin Franklin. : Fruit Panch.—Boil a pound of granulat- ed sugar with a half-pint of water for 10 minutes, then-strain. Stir into this syrup a cup of strawberries, one each of minced pineapple, of white grapes, sliced bananas, maraschino cherries and six unpeeled and thinly sliced oranges, with six lemons pre- pared in the same way. Put in a punch bowl a large piece of ice, add to the fruit two quarts of apollinaris water, pour all over the ice and when ice cold serve. Parker House Potatoes.—For a luncheon dish ‘‘Parker house potatoes’’ will be ap- preciated. Add to a pint of hot mashed potatoes a beaten egg and a tablespoonful of flour. Roll out with a bread roller and cat into larger circles. On each piece lay a little minced veal or lamb, and turn over the other half of the potato, pinching the edges together, exactly like a Parker house roll. Lay on a buttered pan and bake brown. Serve with a brown gravy or with a meat sauce made from other fragments of vesterday’s roast veal or lamb. There are two distinct styles in the shirt waists designed for the coming summer, the strictly tailor-made waist, severe and sim- ple in all its lines, and in addition to these there are waists made of the sheerest of muslins, and trimmed with the finest of in sertions or exquisite handwork. Fortu- nately,it does not seem extravagant to sup- ply ourselves liberally with both styles for these little batiste waists take the place of the light silk blouses which are always necessary and they will be quite the smart- est things to wear in the very early spring. Io buying one of these waists it is an ex- cellent plan to get at the same time, ma- terial enough for a skirt; with this little additional expense one would have one of the loveliest of summer gowns. These fan- cy waists are all made with a great deal of fullness, and of the softest of muslins. Gen- erally they button in the back, and have a yoke which extends a little way over the shoulder. The fullness below is held in groups of tiny tucks. Very often the yoke is made of narrow strips of lawn facoted with linen thread or of insertions and lawn joined with fagoting. The yokes made of lace insertions held together with lace stitches are lovely. Indeed, the simplest waists are often the prettiest. A waist which was very simple but extremely effective and becoming, had the entire front tucked to form a pointed yoke and insertions were used through the fullness below. The tops of the sleeves were tucked and there were deep ganntlet, cuffs of insertion. Dotted muslin used for these waists require almost no trimming— a little insertion used perhaps in the yoke or as bands for the collar and cuffs. The muslin should have very large polka dots c! white or it should be covered closely with tiny colored dots. On the plain mus- 1:n waists you can see a great many color- ed embroideries, sometimes in bands and scmetimes in medallions set in through the fullness of the skirt. All the coats this spring are either little Etons or blouses ending in deep girdles. The Etons are very short, coming just to the top of the hroad girdles. They are very attractive, but if one takes into con- sideration the question of wearing a coat for more than one season, the blouse is probably the safer model to select. Of course, these blouses can only be made of the softer materials, for they all have some fullness. They are either gathered on the shoulder, or are made with little yokes, the fullness starting below this. One rarely sees the snit skirt shirred in- to the belt. The newest idea for confining the fullness around the hips is to use tucks fully three-quarters of an inch wide, witha space of perhaps an inch or an inch and a half between the tucks. Yokes braided to matoh the coats are seen on many of the skirts, and below this the fullness of the gkirt is held in large pleats. These pleats are stitched down perbaps five or six in- ches, and then hang loose, giving an effect of great fullness to the skirt. When the skirts are tucked around the hips, they are almost invariably finished around the bottom with large tucks or folds. Graduated tucks are much used, be- ginning with tucks fully three inches wide and ending with pleats not half that width. The skirts are trimmed rather higher than they were in the winter. Some of the best models are trimmed almost to the waist- line. Suit hats seem: to be running more to- wards browns and blues than any other colors. The browns start with the pale ¢ ham- pagne color and run up to the deep, soft seal brown. Blues are mostly navy. And you will find the same little tight roses,the same little berries and fruits, even the same feathery owl heads that are being used on Paris millinery at this moment on the $5 and $6 bats. The very newest point of fullness for the puffed sleev® is quite above the elbow. Sleeves have never been more elaborate or more eloborately trimmed. The short shoulder ehawl of voile, one of the fads of the Riviera at present, is coming to us very soon, fashion arbiters aver. Should your soup be too salty, add a sliced raw potato and cook a few moments longer, as the potato will absorb the sur- plus salt. Mrs. Rorer says: In these days all sorts of materials may be put be- tween slices of bread and butter or bis- cuits and made into sandwiches. Ali meats should be chopped. Chicken may be mixed with a little inayonnaise dressing or cream; beef may be seasoned with Wor- cestershire sauce or tomato catsup, with mutton, a little mint sance; with chopped tongue, use melted butter or tomato ecat- sup. Sardines rubbed to a paste make ex- cellent sandwiches. Any of the soft cheese may be used, or Swiss cheese may be cut into very thin slices. J Chopped fruits and nuts are among the nicest of the sweet sandwiches, although the nuts may be mixed with mayonnaise gud served with chicken or other meat sal- ads. Dates, tigs and nuts mixed together and chopped make delicious - sandwiches. Served with chocolate they are very nice for evening affairs. Lay she mixture be- tween slices of bread or ¢rackers. Banapas mashed and mixed with figs and Di may bé hoiled” and cut into thin slices. To Visit’ Tuberculosis Farm. Committee of Academy of Medicine to Go to Whit Haven Institution. : The committee of physicians of the Har- risburg Academy of Medicine that bas been appointed to further the project for the establishment of a tuberculosis farm for the treatment of Harrisburg patients, which has been made possible by the offer by Mr. James McCormick of a desirable site on a Cumberland county mountain, has received encouragement both from Dr. Joseph T. Rothrock, State Commissioner of Forestry, who is at the head of the tuberculosis farm at Mout Alto, and from Dr. L. F. Flick, head of the Phipps Insti- tute, Philadelphia, and the White Haven Sanitarium, Dr. Flick has invited the committee to visit the White Haven Institution and the committee has accepted. The day set hy Dr. Flick is next Sunday, and the commit- tee is trying to arrange to go at that time, though if plans cannot be made for the trip then, a later visit will be arranged. Perfecting a Potato. New Kind Introduced Which is Expected to Drive All Others Out, Luther Burbank, of San Francisco, who developed the potato bearing his ame, and who has brought out a seedless plum, has just produced a new potato which, he thinks, will supplant the present varieties. He is now trying to make it a little larger. With the skill he has in being able to pro- duce large or small varieties at will, this achievement is only a matter of time. About a year and a half ago Mr. Bur- bank received from a remote part of South America some potatoes to work upon. He crossed and recrossed and recrossed plants, and today he says he has between 20,000 and 30,000 of new varieties of new potatoes under his care. The new potato will be sweeter than the old one. Its pulp will be almost of carrot hue and will be very palatable. Mr. Bur- bank says the new kind of potato will rev- olutionize the potato industry. Child Bride May be Insane. Mrs. George Yeakel, the girl bride of ‘near Salladasburg, is an occupant of the jail at Williamsport waiting to be ex- amined by a commission in lunacy. She is 16 years old and last November eloped with Yeakei, who drove her to Cogan Sta- tion, from where a hurried trip was made to Elmira, N. Y., where a marriage cere- mony was performed. The girl lived af Larry’s creek.
