Demoraicilatfons Bellefonte, Pa., March 25th, 1904. ats comes mews FARM NOTES. —Most of us are land poor. There are thousands of money making farms in this country of less than ten acres each. Asa rule the small farms make the most mon- ey. Look at the prosperous truck garden- ers. Intense cultivation does it. —One of the best manures for the garden is made by mixing two bushels of fine hone with a wagonload of stable manure and al- lowing the mixture to stand. The bone makes the mmavure heat more quickly, and the manure softens or dissolves the par- ticles of bone. —Never whip a horse for not doing what he cannot understand is wanted of him. Few horses wilfully refuse to perform a service required. But they do not under- stand. Spend your energy in patiently making the animal understand instead of spending it in whipping him. —Corn ground should be plowed, if possible, as soon as the weather permits, as the action of the frost will render it fine and save much of the labor of perparation later in the season. One mistake usually made with corn is that of not tboroughly pulverizing the soil previous to putting in the seed. —If you work for high accomplishment, twelve hours a day will not weary you as much as eight hours’ drudgery simply for the hire alone. In the one case, too, you may round outa century with all the faculties alert and intact, but in the other, you will be a feeble old man at fifty, and will never live to see three-score years. —Some of the best-paying farms in the United States consist of almost pure-white sand, but they are devoted to fruits and poultry, thus economizing labor and space. The success of a farmer does not depend so much upon the quality of the soil as upon the kind of crops and mode of manage- ment. —Hot-beds should be well aired, by raising the sash on warm days, but they should be well covered and protected at night. The temperature can be kept to within a few degrees of the point required by keeping a close watch and giving care to the bot-beds. Fresh borse manure is the best to use for creating warmth. It is not too soon to make the frames and have everything ready for beginning the hot- beds. —Strawberries do well on a great va- riety of soils, but succeed best on soils that have some clay in them. Any land that .will grow good timothy will grow good strawberries. By planting early va- rieties on sandy land, sloping to the south, very early berries can be grown, and by planting late varieties on a northern siope of clay land late berries can be secured. By this means we may have berries some- what later than is usually the case. —When growing cucumbers for pickles it is necessary to pick off the cucumbers before they exceed two inches in length. Should the vines be permitted to fulfill their mission—growing seed—they will cease t0 be productive, hence not a single cucumber on a vine should be allowed to mature. As long as the smail cucumbers are picked off it will increase the number, as the vine will continue to supply others in their place in the effort to mature them. A few vines well managed will produce a large number of cucumbers of pickling size. —1It is not well to have the plants too thick in the hot-bed. Those removed may he trahsplanted in flower pots, egg-shells, old fruit cans or small boxes, and if well cared for they will grow fast and be of fair size when the time arrives for planting them in the garden. Tomatoes and early cabbage may be thus treated, and it will be found of great advantage. Age assists greatly in hastening the hearing period of tomatoes, and by giving the plants care in the beginning, such as covering them at night, they may be grown out in the open air without fear of danger should the nights become cold. The same plan may be pur- sued with many other vegetables. —When trees are planted the roots should have a fine, mellow bed of soil, which should be pressed firmly in contact with every fibre, leaving no air space around them, and all should he spread out in natural positions. The soil should be pressed very firmly aronnd all the roots, so that the new roots will be encouraged to make rapid growth. If the soil in which the tree is planted is the same as the one from which it was taken the tree should be set the same depth as it was before it was removed. If the soil is heavier the tree should be shallower, or if lighter it should be placed deeper. The surface of the soil aver the roots should be fine and light, be- cause the capillary tubes are then broken up and the moisture cannot escape. --The trimming of grape vines should be done in the spring of the year, before the sap ascends. “To trim them after the sap has passed into the hranches of the vines would result in what is known as ‘‘bleed- ing.” The latter is what every grape grower wants to avoid, because it, de- teriorates the vines; draws away their strength, and will result in the reduction of at least one-half of their bearing capacity for that year. The time generally selected for cutting these vines is from the middle of February to the middle of March. This year, however, the time will be extended to April 1st. The reason why grape vines are not trimmed in the fall of the year is that it the winter should happen to be severe, the tender wood of the vines would be frozen, and the cutting would have to be repeated. —There are three early crops that should be given attention almost before winter is over—onions, asparagns and rhubarb. Onions will stand considerable frost, and are frequently put ont in March, if the weather moderates, but April is more favorable. The ground cannot be too rich, and for a small plot the sets are used. The ground should he deep, plenty of well- rotted manure applied and the sets kept free from grass and weeds until the crop gets well under way. Asparagus and rhu- barb should now receive a heavy coating of manure, ro that the liquid portions may be carried down by the rains. If this is de- layed too long the plants may not be bene: fited by the manure. Something depends upon the severity of the winter, busin this section there are warm periods when the ground can he worked. After the winter is over, hut before spring comes in with warm weather, considerable work can be done, and early peas should not he over- looked, as they are hardy and can stand a certain amount of exposure. Asparagus usually makes ite appearance at any time during April or May, according to she sea- son, and there is now but a short period of time daring which to attend to the bed. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.

Serim curtains are very fashionable sum- mer window hangings at present. A rich ecru tone, somewhat on the Arabian order, and a cream shade are preferred. Inset bands of cherry or antique lace are their usual embellishment. A Brussels net cur- tain, with a Renaissance tape border, is another warm weather favorite. The Louis XVI styles are also very popular, while the so-called Marie Antoinette is particularly attractive. The bolero is more in evidence than ever. On the new spring tailor-mades it is out in a host of shapes from the waist- long ones that meet the low girdle in the back to little abbreviated affairs with wide sleeves. Many of the latter are so loose that a second look, says the New York Evening Sun, is sometimes needed to know whether to class them with the jackets or capes. Wide flowing and angel sleeves, and the like, often are so undefined as to outline that a dolman or cape appearance results as their folds fall into the lines of the body of the garment connected with them. Miss Stella Snyder, a Missouri school teacher, was recently sued for $1,000 dam- ages for whipping one of her pupils. She won the case, and a? a result of the pub- licity attending the trial she bas secured an appointment in the State Reform School for Girls. : All one piece frocks are fashionable both for girls and boys, with the Russian blouse a great favorite. Pleated skirts with blouses are in vogue and cloth, serge and wash materials are used for both these models. The long waist and short skirt design still holds its own, but in many cases is 80 exaggerated that it is more apt to go ont of favor than if it were treated more rationally. White, as always, is the most swagger thing for dressing children. The leather belt is still exclusively used for children’s blouses. Although all may not have regular or classic features it is possible for every one to have a good complexion and that counts many points in a beauty contest. Every baby has a skin like satin and a roseleaf complexion and it certainly is not a car- dinal sin or an indication of weak char- acter to wish to preserve what we were given. But no one can have a good com- plexion who is not healthy. The theory that it is necessary to take some medicine in the spring has been su- perseded by a new one,—take more exer- cise and eat less food. One cannot eat too much spinach, lettuce, watercress, dande- lion and carrots; they are guaranteed com- plexion beauntifiers. If girls would eat more fruit and less meat, their skins would grow velvety. And besides more fruit, more water is needed to wash the im- purities from the system. Every grown person should drink not less than three pints of water aday. ~ Coffee and tea taken in moderation will hurt no one; but there is food for reflection in the vegetarian’s statement that these beverages will in time inevitably reproduce in the complexion their tawny-brown tints. A sallow com- plexion, indicating some disorder of the liver, needs internal treatment. One of the best agents for clearing the system and giving a fair skin is the onion. Oranges and grape froit in the morning (never at night) are well. recommended as well as the daily consumption of a crisp, juicy ap- ple. The acid of a lemon acts directly up- on the liver and for an acutely bilious per- son the juice of a lemon in a cupful of hot water, without sugar, is prescribed as an early morning drink. Of course when there is indication of acute liver or bowel trouble, a physician should be consulted without delay. Washing the face continually with bard water will roughen and coarsen the skin, and if one canuot obtain distilled water or filtered rain water, they can at least al- ways have at hand refined borax with which to soften the water in which the face is to be cleansed. Soap is a necessity as the dust and dirt of the atmosphere can- no$ properly be removed from the pores of the skin without its aid, but the finest quality alone should be used, and when a make is found that agrees with the skin, it should be adhered to unless a better one is found. But do not experiment too often. Use the soap bath at night and if the skin is‘inolined to be dry and scaly after the face is dried, gently rub in the tiniest amount of some good face cream to supply the oil that the alkali of the soap has ab- sorbed. But be sure the cream is not of the hair-producing kind. A famous Eng- lish beauty specialist never steams the face as she contends it wastes the oil in the skin, opens the pores, coarsens the texture and spoils the eyes. Certainly if hot wa- ter is used to clean the face (as is frequent- ly necessary), it should be followed by the tonic cold bath and no unpleasant results will follow. If one has to go out of doors soon after the face cleaning,the superfluous cream should be wiped off with a soft old linen or silk handkerchief and a good toilet powder lightly dusted over. Why so many people protest against the use of toilet powder is a mystery since ib is considered indispensable for a baby’s toilet and if the soft roseleaf complexion of the little one is not injured how can there be harm to an older person ? Many people imagine that powder clogs the pores; but if such were really the case, is it not better that pure vegetable powder rather than microbe hearing gritty dust be carried about on oue’s face ? An excellent formula for a harmless face powder is : four ounces starch powder, one and oue-half ounces of rice powder, half an ounce of orris powder with balf a dram of jasmine extract. Ten siftings through a hair sieve are not too many. : Exercise ont of doors every day, breath- ing keeply, walking with head erect and chest raised; do not eat when desire is lacking, or give way toc perves, emotions or tears (remembering that jealousy will plant ugly lines in the face) and prove if the woman of forty cannot have as attrac- tive a complexion as oné still in her teens. It was the late Max O’Rell who said : “The age of forty should be looked forward to as an inheritance rather than dreaded -by every woman.’’ The fullness in sleeves is working up to the elbow. Sometimes this is achieved by irs oe : f the central Atlan- tio Star ile orop € Il is looked for- ward to with nte Some years ago the walnut trees were cat down in great numbers, and the timbers used for various purposes by many of the farmers for building fences. But instead of cutting shem down now, they are cultivating them largely, especially in the East. In some districts the people leave their routine work and gather walnuts when they are ripe, and although the reward is not great, yet it more than pays for the time and trouble spent. Many farmers deal direct- ly with commission merchants in the large cities, and send to them either the kernels already picked out or the whole nut. The nut kernel business has become quite ex- tensive all over the United States of late years,and the consumption of nuts is some- thing enormous and is steadily increasing. The cracking and extracting of the kernels of English walnuts, almonds, pecans and filberts has become quite a business in many of the large jobbing houses, where they are prepared for the fancy grocer and confectioner. It is found that the best way to crack a nut, in order to obtain the ker- nel whole, is to strike the nut on the stem end, otherwise the kernel will most likely be broken.

Its ramifications are said to spread all over the country, and its sign is the double cross. Thirty or more murders recorded along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad improvements east of Cresson are attributed to the work of the ‘‘Avengers.”’ Many arrests for the stabbing and cutting men to pieces have been made but no con- victions resulted. The Lilly disaster, where twenty-eight Italians were burned to death in their shanty is attributed to the ‘‘Avengers,’’ who it ie said, hurled the escaping men back into the fire, which ex- plains why the bodies were piled at the door The ‘‘Avengers’’ society was revealed by a boy who was stabbed and raved about it in his delirium.
