Bemoraat Bellefonte, Pa., May 20th, 1904. EE AE AS AS FARM NOTES. —1I¢ is claimed that a sprinkling of hops in the brine used for pickling bacon and hams adds greatly to their flavor and also assists in their preservation. The method is one eaid to be practiced in England. —The custom of loading farm wagons so that the heaviest weight is upon the front wheels is all wrong and adds materially to the dralt. The heaviest weight should be carried by the hind wheels. This has been proved by official and careful tests. —A farmer can bring an orchard to the bearing point, and at the same sime pro- duoe nearly as much corn, potatoes or oth- er produce as if it were not there. It will add greatly to the value of his farm, wheth- er be intends to make it his home or sell the place. —It is perhaps the proper system to wa- ter the animals at regular periods, espevial- ly horses, but animals differ, and may de- sire water as times when they do not re- ceive it. To give all animals free access to water is certainly not contrary to natural law, as they are better judges of eating and drinking, so far as they are concerned, shan their owners. —The house slops should all be saved. Those not fit for the pigs can be used on the growing crops in the garden, especially celery. It is surprising what an invigor- ating effect results from throwing the soap- sude upon plants in the growing season. An ordinary flower garden may be kept in a thrifty condition if every plant receives an application. —Some farmers have taken to sowing Hubbard squashes among hoed crops and find them more profitable than the old- fashioned pumpkin, and quite as reliable. They require, or at least will pay, for some extra manuring and watering ina dry time. One of the advantages of growing Hubbard squashes with field crops is that many hills escape any visitation from the bugs. —The Drumhead and Flat Dutch cab- bage, which are extensively used for late crops, may be transplanted during May. They may be transplanted later, if desired, but if transplanted now will probably get a good start before the drought sets in, which is sometimes frequent in July. The crop demands plenty of plant food and fre- quent sultivation. No crop does, better with good treatment than cabbage. —Twenby-five cents’ worth of sage seed will furnish about 1000 plants. Enough gage can be picked the first year to pay for all the labor of sowing she seed and piok- ing the sage. Early in the spring the plants should be removed,set in rows three feet apart each way and half that distance the other. If the plants are planted in good soil and properly cultivated they can be picked three times each year for several years. —The flowing off from the manure heap of the rich, black liquids that the rains and melting snows wash down is the depriva- tion of the most valuable elements that exist in the manure heap. It isthe jugu- lar vein which, once severed, soon destroys the body. When the liquids begin to ac- cumulate inclose them with an embank- ment or construct a tank for their recep- tion. Pump or bale them upon the solid parts, and if necessary turn over the whole mass and satarate it. True economy,how- ever, suggests that manure be sheltered from exposure. —Black rot has been very destructive on cabbage and cauliflower for several seasons, and means of relief, even slight, will be welcomed by growers. Recent investi- gation by the New York Station at Geneva have proven that the germs of disease may be carried over winter on the dry seed, a fact previously doubted by scientists, and that these germs may produce the disease when inocalated into the healthy plants. It is, therefore, a wise precantion to dis- infect the cabbage seed, as removing one possible source of infection. This can be done very cheaply, easily and safely, by soaking the seed for 15 minutes in corrosive sublimate solution 1 to 1000 strength. —The soil to be used for potted plants should be a mixture of leaf mold from the woods,sand, and good loam,a little powder- ed charccal being an improvement. A piece of broken pot should be laid over the drainage hole, then enough soil put in so that when the ball of earth is placed in the pot there will be about an inch of space from the surface of the soil to the rim of the pot. Fill in the soil all around the ball and pack it moderately tight. Fi- nally,give the pot a tap on the bench to set- | tle the soil. After all the plants are pot- ted, put a spray nozzle on the sprinkler and give them a good watering,and shading with newspapers for two or three days dur- ing sunshine until re-established. Never use a large size pot for a small-rooted plant. If you do the soil will sour and the plant sicken and die. —In the early settlement of the country, a year when beech-nuts were plenty was reckoned very fortunate for growers of hogs. They would fatten rapidly on the fallen mast, as nuts from wood trees were called, and always made tender, well- flavored, bus rather soft pork. It was, however, probably more healthful to eat than pork made from corn. In the South the hogs mostly ran wild and live in win- ter on the nuts and roots they gather in the woods. But the same quality of pork as thas formerly produced from nuts can. be made now by feeding apples and vegetables, mixing with them while cooking some whole oats and a very little old-process lin- seed meal or whole flaxseed. This will tarnish just the kind of nutrition found in beech-nuts, and be even more digestible than are the beech-nuts. —The grayish black squash bug is diffi- cult to manage. Gathering the eggs and the old bugs early in the spribg is laborious but sure, if thoroughly done. The bugs will crawl on a piece of board laid among the vines,and may be gathered and caught. The use of poisons will do no good in the case of the bugs, as they do not eat the leaves, but pass their beaks through the outside of the leaf to suck the juices, and so will not consume any of the poison. In a series of experiments in the methods of preventing the attacks of the equash vine borer the preventives employed were Paris green as the rate of hall a teaspoonful to two gallons, corncobs dip in coal tar and a kerosene emulsion. The application of the Paris green and the kerocene was re- peated after every hard rain until Sep- tember ; the cobs were dipped in coal tar again once in three weeks. All three of the applications seemed to be beneficial, with perhaps a little something in favor of the corncobs as being cheapest and most convenient. The odor of the tar has no ef- fect on the insects, hut seems to repel the moth,causing her to lay her eggs elsewhere. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Silk mall is one of the most popular of the medinm-priced summer stuffs. Sloping Shoulders. —Sloping shoulders | characterize not only the waists, but coats and wraps as well. This feature is some- times so emphasized that the doing away with the shoulder seams is the result. The sleeves fit closely at the shoulder, and fre- quently the puff which flares so widely at the wrist does not begin until just above the elbow. In evening gowns the bertha flounce, which covers and at thesame time unites in one line the fronts of the bodice and the sleeve, is very frequently used. I$ is either entirely around the decollete, or draped in V-shaped points in front and back. A Trimmed Walking Snit.—One of the very smartest of these trimmed walking suits is of fancy black and white mohair. The skirt is made with box pleats around the bottom, but smooth fitting about the hips. The back, however, shows a decid- ed fulness about 12 inches below the belt. Each pleat is ornamented with a medallion of fanoy black silk passementerie outlined with a very fine, almost thread-like, gold braid. The waist is of white cgepe de chine made with a shirred round yoke and trim- med with medallions of ecru guipure. The jacket is of the Louis XVI type with a fisted back ending in a deep postilion, a wide band of black silk being inserted about the waist, and braided to give a bolero effect. The fronts open over a vest of India cashmere of white ground with the cashmere colors. The fronts are fur- ther ornamented with hoth black and gold braid. Linen Gowns.—The most stylish gowns made of heavy linens, crashess and the new linen suitings are to be worn this season. The latter are effectively used to make up the ever fashionable and popular shirt waist suit, for the shirt waists suit is to be a favorite of the society leaders during the summer months. The plain linens are also used for the shirt waist suit, and they are likewise used for the most elaborate of linen costumes made in princess style. These linen princess gowns are something. entirely new and the effect is stunning. Open work embroidery called ‘‘broderie anglaise’”’ is used to trim a gown of this sort. An attractive model of pale green showed three inch-wide tucks two-thirds of the way below the knee, while just above this the space was relieved by occa- sional conventional designs of the open- work. A deep shoulder cape with deep, soalloped edge was made entirely of the embroidery. Belts are growing every day wider and every day more decided as to contrast and elaborateness. They are worn with dressy gowns of veiling, crepe and cloth. For ex- ample, a creation in gray cloth is girdled with scarlet crepe. A black cloth costume has a peacock green kid belt, and a white pique dress a girdle in shaded violet silk. In coats this season the Eton jacket is decidedly the fashionable idea for the suit and the fitted covert for the separate jacket. But while these two are the reigning fa- vorites they are by no means the whole thing, for fashion revels in diversity this season. Besides the Eton, many suits are made with blouse jackets, these as well as the Etons are collarless and the dressiest have lingerie ruffles in the sleeves. Never has there been a fashion which has been so universally prevalent as are the lingerie ruffles today. Wraps are still of the loose order of gar- ment, and for evening and other dress oc- oasions are about or above the knee length. Etamine, voile, cloth, moire and soft satin and pongee are mostly used for them. In less expensive models taffeta silk is em- ployed. . No man flatters the woman he truly loves.—Trickerman. Very little trimming is required upon the decidedly smart new turbans of two toned or combination color effects of straw for wear wit" the tailor gown, a quill, breast or straw button ornament being sufficient. One stubborn blackhead isa source of extreme annoyance to the woman who is anxious to have a clean looking skin. If you find the skin food and massage will not remove the obstreperous dot, try this cream for obstinate blackheads: Powder- ed white soap (castile will do,) 108 grains; petrolatum, 12 ounces ; glycerine, 6 drachms; water, 3 ounces; oil of rose, oil of neroli, oil of bergamot, 6 drops each. Mix the petrolatum and soap over a gentle heat, gradually add the glycerine and wa- ter, which should be previously mixed and last the oils. Beat until entirely cold. Apply this every night to the black- head, when it is ready to leave its nest, press out with a watch key, never with the fingers. Broad as the therapeutio field which oth- er vegetables cover, the onion transcends them all in the extent of variety of ills with which it is fitted by nature to cope. Ev- eryone knows that as a complexion beauti- fier, owing to the large amount of sulphur it contains, it has no equal. It tones the stomach, cures the earache, loosens a cold, quiets a cough and stimulates the kidneys, but it has taken the health board of a north’ ern New Jersey town to discover and pro- mulgate the fact that the onion is a sure cure for pneumonia. This remedy, which they claim to be in- fallible, was formulated many years ago by a well-known physician in New England, who never lost a patient by the disease which has devastated the length and breadth of the land during the last winter: ‘“Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine. Putin a large spider over a hot fire, adding about the same quantity of rye flour meal and vinegar to form a stiff paste. Stir thoroughly and simer five or ten minutes. Put into a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to the chest just as hot as the patient can bear. In about ten minutes change the poultice and thus continue reheating and applying, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. In applying this or any poultice care must be exercised noi to les the patient get chilled during the changing process. Have the poultice all ready to go on hefore the cooling one is removed, making the ex- change so swiftly and deftly that there is not a moment’s exposure of the body sur- face, which becomes exceedingly sensitive to a chill. : . A soft corn may be cured by using the foliowing: Dip a piece of linen rag in tur- pentine and wrap around the toe on which the corn is situated, night and morning, it possible. In a few days the corn will dis- appear. Rubbing the soles of the feet with vinegar will ease them when they are sore from standing or walking. Save Money, Trouble and Time. Walter Lo Main Explains the Simplicity of Attend- ing Amusements Without Vexation or Loss. ‘Perhaps there is nothing more comical to the spectator on the circus grounds show day than the observing of the uninitiated amusement-goer purchasing tickets and gaining admission to the oirous,” remark- ed Walter I.. Main, the big circus owner, a few days ago in conversation with a re- porter. ‘‘It has always been surprising to me, that of the thousands upon thousands who attend circuses, not six in ten, on an average, seem to understand the very sim- ple thing of gaining admission to the show, and many there are who do not even com- prehend how to purchase their tickets. Many well-dressed and bright looking folks of both sexes get themselves worked up to a nervous state buying their tickets and more so when seeking admission. Of course, we see most of this in the rural distriots and in the South where circuses visit infrequently on account of the exoes- sive license, but frequently in the show- going educated communities as well the same blunders are made. Often a family of six or eight will strive to gain admission two abreast (when all circus gateways are of only sufficient. width « to admit one per- son), and frequently hold hands, and sometimes. actually walk backwards. Again the entire circus entrance will be blocked by a man or woman having an in- sufficient number of tickets ; and still again, coming to the door with no tickets and tendering the doorkeepers a large bill for change. Possibly in the olden times, when circuses provided but one or two lit- tle entranceways, there existed an excuse for difficulties as above described, but with the Main shows of 1904 if anyone experi- ences the least bit of annoyance, either in purchasing tickets or gaining admission, the fault rests entirely upon himself.”” For the convenience of his patrons, Mr. Main provides two ticket wagons on the show grounds, open at 1 and 7 o’clock, where both reserved seat and admission tickets can be secured ; also reserved seat and ad- mission tickets are placed on sale at Par- rish’s drug store from 9 a. m. on morning of exhibition. The show has four gate- ways to facilitate the entrance of ticket: holders. In going to a circus, if each per- son would hold his or her ticket much con- fusion and annoyance would be saved the patron as well as the showmen. Another very common cause of delay, and one which frequently occasions annoyance as well, is parents bringing numbers of children with them and having an insufficiency of tick- ets. All children who are old enough to appreciate the sights and performance of the circus are justly required to pay. A modern discipline with the Main amuse- ment, rigidly enforced at all times, is the closing of the doors when the show’s seat- ing capacity has been exhausted, and al- lowing no one to stand to witness the per- formance. This insures those seated a clear and unobstructed view of the enter- tainment. Ladies and children unaccom- panied who attend the Main circus are carefully looked after by polite ushers. To further insure the comfort of his au- diences and their protection from disa- greeable weather, all of the show’s tents this season are both sun and water proof. From its many finger prints of moderness it is quite evident that this mighty amuse- ment organization is one of up-to-date progressiveness and but yet in its infancy is creating new practices for the enjoyment and convenience of circus goers.

The farms in the Bermuda islands are not such as to impress one with the idea of the greatness of the country. These is- lands being extremely rocky, the farms consist for the most part of tiny detached fields in the pleasant hollows, where the accumulation of vegetable matter and of washings has made a shallow soil. In these little islands one sees fields from the size of a parlor floor to that of two acres—the latter size being uncommon. It is strange enough to the visitor from more ambitions places to see a patoh of onions or lilies or pos tatoes only a few feet square bravely as- serting its importance in some front yard or by the highway. But although these fields are diminutive, they are numerous and the combined out- put makes up a large trade in Bermudan products in the New York markets, for probably nine-tenths of the produce, except bananas, finds a market there, in spite of the duties. The lands vary wonderfully in price—from very little exposed eleva- tions to $500 per acre for good pieces in the little vales. The high price of these pieces and limited amount of land on the islands —there are less than 10,000 acres all told —have enforced a very high state of onlti- vation of the lands. The islands comprise a series of smart garden hollows, and the hard-metaled, white walled roads, snug houses and profusion of compact garden growth, all unite to make the place a di- minutive piotureland. - Castoria. cC Cc Cc Cc NS nununnn HHA coo000 5 50 £0 0 10 i bbb bb ccc The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signature of Chas.
