FARM NOTES.
—Charcoal given to the sow will correct
scours in the pigs.
—-A small handful of oil meal will have
a good effect on the system. :
—The hog pastures must have shade or
shelters, and abundant water.
—The sows should be well supplied with
water and salt, and ashes and charcoal
should always be within reach.
—Watch the hogs and be sure that they
are not lousy. If lice are found, spray the
hogs with some good dip or kerosene emul-
sion.
—~When the little pigs begin to smell around
the trough, give them some milk and oats
or middlings in a small trough, in a pen
not accessible to the sow.
—By sowing buckwheat early and plow-
ing it under when in blossom, two crops
may be obtained. Always use air-slacked
lime on the land after turning under a
green manurial crop.
—Fifty years ago the average weight of
beef cattle on the hoof was only 800 pounds,
but improvement of breeds has so greatly
increased the size of cattle as to bring the
average up to 1400 pounds at the present
day.
—The custom of loading farm wagons so
that the heaviest weight is upon the front
wheels is all wrong and adds materially to
the drafs. 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 time pro-
duce 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 he intends to make it his home or sell
the place.
—Keep the blossoms picked off the pansy
plants or they will cease to bloom, as the
production of seed is an end to flowering.
Work a small quantity of fertilizer into the
soil around each plant occasionally, and at
the end of the year trim them, mulch with
straw, and the old plants can then be used
another season.
—It is perhaps the proper system to wa-
ter the animals at regular periods, especial.
ly horses, hut animals differ, and may de-
sire water at 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,
than their owners.
—Gluten meal is that portion of the corn
left over after the starch has been removed,
and it is, therefore. a highly nitrogenous
food. It should be fed in connection with
other articles. When middlings are used
it is best to mix such foods with cut hay
that bas been sprinkled,as the nnadulterat-
ed middlings are liable to cause indiges-
tion. Bran and linseed meal form an ex-
cellent combination at all seasons. Cows
will always appreciate a variety, and it
promotes digestion.
—A day’s ration for a sheep is estimated
at two pounds of hay, balf a pound of
ground oats and half a pound of bran, when
there is no pasture, as in winter, but as
large sheep consume more than smaller
ones the estimated ration may not bestriot-
ly correct. Sheep should also be supplied
with succulent food, sliced earrots being
highly relished. They should not be over-
fed, but should be kept in moderate con-
dition. Insummer good pasturage is suffi-
cient.
—When cultivating young corn it must
be done in a manner to destroy all weeds;
hence shallow cultivation may not answer,
as the weeds must he destroyed by any
method possible, rather than to permit
them in the corn field; bus, after the corn
is well advanced, it may prove detrimental
to run the cultivator deep, as it then cuts
many roots. Root cutting has been tested
and found injurious. After the weeds are
killed the only work required is to keep
about an inch or two of the surface soil
loose, in order to conserve moisture, as
well as to put an end to any young weeds
that may be ready to start.
—Pablioc tests demonstrate that there is
no limit to the capacity of an animal as
long as the conditions are not complied
with. It may be able to do more without
having been given an opportunity for so
doing, and it is on the farm. The farmer
should not condemn his animals until he
has faithfully endeavored to give them the
full privilege of demonstrating their capao-
ity, and when he has performed his part
he will then know that his profits will be
according to the quality of the stock, as he
can retain any such as have proved them-
selves worthy of his confidence, while the
inferior class will be discarded, the result
being thas the stock will be gradually im-
proved and the profits increased.
—The constant mowing of the meadows
sooner or later causes them to fail. It is
seldom that a farmer will spread the ma
nure on the meadow as long as his corn
land needs it. It is sorprising how some
meadows have been capable of providing
grass and hay for many years with the
treatment received, bust it is safe to say
that the meadow pays as well as any other
land on the farm. It depends upon the
kind of soil, however, but meadows are
usnally in the valley, where the land re-
ceive the washings of the uplands, and
where moisture is more plentiful ‘than on
other locations. The meadow deserves a
treatment peculiar to itself. It is the re-
sult of the adaptation of grasses to the soil,
for the varieties best snited will crowd out
the others and nsurp the land, which is one
of the reasons why the meadows do not
‘‘ran ount'’ as soon as special grasses that
are seeded down occasionally.
—1If bees are kept from fruit blossoms,
by netting or other artificial means, the
amount of fruit ses is little or none. It
not infrequently happens that inclement
weather prevents or hinders the flving of
bees during the period when the flowers
are receptive. A fruit tree, half of which
was subjected to a continuous spray of wa-
ter during the flowering period, produced
no fruit upon the sprayed portion, but an
abundance upon the other. A failure due
to the above mentioned cause cannot well
be prevented, but may be modified by bav-
ing bees near at hand to utilize the short
‘favorable periods which do occur. An in-
sufficient supply of bees will hinder the
setting of fruit. While other insects may
take part in the carrying of pollen, the
fruit raiser must rely chiefly ‘upon honey
hees. Experience shows that, though bees
may fly two or three miles, hives should be
within half a mile of the orchard or small
fruit pateh.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
The round, deep collars that have been
worn so long are made becoming Hy slash-
ing into points or by an edge that dips
down in front and in the back.
Buttons are everywhere and of every
variety. They end the tab of stock col-
lars, and they bold in place, or seem to,”
the panels of skirts, cuffs, yokes, plastrons,
eto.
The deep turnover linen sollar is one of
fashion’s returned favorities, bus, like all
other revived styles, it has undergone a
transformation. If you wish, you may
wear the plain mannish variety; but if you
love pretty adornments you can indulge
yourself and yet look trim and tailorish
about the neck. First of all are the stiff
embroidered collars we imported last year
from France, and which still hold their
place. For those women who cannot stand
severe lines under the chin there are col-
lars of soft Irish linen that are starched on-
ly just the least bit. These have a straight
high band fastened on with collar buttons
like the others, but the turnover part is
treated in different ways. All are em-
broidered and scalloped at the edges, but
some have an edging of narrow lace added.
Bias ties of silk worn are modish, and
those comfortable. long ties of sheer lawn
will again be used.
The one aim and ambition of the biny
woman is to be like her taller sister. While
it is impossible to actually elongate the
figure with perfect safety, or at all, it is
pevertheless comparatively simple, avers
the London Express, to give her the ad-
vantages of from two to six inches which
might otherwise be lost altogether.
There is more in the way a little woman
holds herself so that she makes a good ap-
pearance than in the highest heels and
longest skirts that san be worn.
By throwing the shoulders back and tilt-
ing the chin just a little in the air a wom-
an seems to present a different perspective
to the observer. Instead of looking down
on her, the observer is compelled to look
at her, and the relative size becomes more
pearly equal.
Not only does a great deal in the way of
suggesting height depend upon the manip-
ulation of the skirt, but the cut and length
of it are responsible for a gain of almost as
many inches as a woman desires—that is,
to a reasonable amount. A skirt that is
very long in front, if it lies on the floor
several inches, increases the height, while
a very long train decreases it.
Ankle-length skirts play dreadful bavoc
with a short woman’s appearance, and, to
be consistent, one should emphasize the
‘‘don’t” here. But, then, walking cos-
tumes have become one of woman’s most
cherished belongings, and it would bea
pity to deprive a emall woman of their
comfort, juss because they make her appear
smaller. However, there is more than one
way of getting round the difficulty, and
the best is to have the skirt cut with the
greatest skill and art, keeping a watchful
eye to lines that may tend to balance the
curtailed skirt.
Short women should forego capes and all
full garments that tend to cut long and
down lines. ;
Wide belts, unless they are carefully and
specially shaped to the figure, should be
eschewed by all women who are not long-
waisted, slender and long-limbed. In this
connection it might be mentioned that
there are small women who appear small
and other women of exactly the same
height, but of different mould and propor-
tions, who look shorter or taller, according
to their length of waist.
A long waist, it is generally admitted,
gives even a tiny woman a semblance of
height, while a short waist renders her al-
most insignificant as to inches. On this
account it is more than important that a
small woman should gown herself so as to
gain every possible inch aud fraction of
inch in height.
Narrow belts help in this detail of dress,
and if they follow the much-abused dip or
point in front the length of line from
shoulder to waist will be considerably in-
creased. It is a temptation to small wom-
en to put on the new and extremely wide
belt, but—*‘Don’t do it,”’ is the advice of
those who have studied its effect.
Don’t wear extremely flat hats is an ad-
ditional plea to the small woman, and one,
too, that is important, while it presents no
trifling difficulty to her to whom itis ut-
tered. When all the fashionable hats are
almosi perfectly flat, and one who doesn’t
choose such a style runs a risk of looking
unusual for the sake of a few inches, she is
not to be blamed if she refuses to heed this
particular ‘‘don’t.”” However, it is quite
within the power of a good milliner to ad-
just the trimming on a flat hat so that ib
presents just a suspicion of extra height
without appearing out of style. Small
bats are not exactly suited to little women,
either, as they tend to increase the impres-
sion of insignificance, and to obviate this a
bat of medium or larger size of brim has
been found to accomplish the end with ad-
mirable results.
The latest innovation is a fichu-shaped
shoulder drapery substantiated by a frame-
work of whalebone. This is calculated to
broaden the shoulders enough to suit the
most exaguerated taste. So much atten-
tion bas been demanded by the broad slop-
ing shoulder effects that the skirt has so
far escaped radical treatment in stand-out
devices. As yet, says the New York Even-
ing Sun, few real extenders in the way of
stiff interlinings and wire are employed in
this country, although in Paris most elabo-
rate get-ups are provided with some such
provision for the skirt hem.
The favorite one as yes is the cable cord
in the hem of the drop skirt. The deep
tucks and flounces used so abundantly as
skirt garnishings are useful for such pur-
poses. Two or three deep tucks or folds
that give a tuck effect finish to many of
the new skirts. A gown, walking length,
of changeable blue taffeta is box pleated at
sides and back and given still more full-
ness hy the introduction at the top of shir-
rings between the box pleats. Below the
knees are two wide tucks followed by a
deep hem. The creases of the box pleats
extend to the bottom of the skirt, although
they fall free from a shallow bip yoke
depth.
In the toilet of dotted changeable messa-
line the skirt has three shaped frills. The
bolero is trimmed with a fanoy lace galon
and is edged with a lace frill. Double
frills of lace finish the sleeves. A scarf of
velvet ontlines the collarless neck of the
holero and is knotted in the front.
Summer parasols will have artificial flow-
ers—small ones—massed around the edge
with green leaves falling over.

The amount of water given off by an acre
of grass is said to be 30 hog-heads a day.
The area covered by the St. Louis fair is
1,240 acres; that under roof is 128 acres.
Alaska is more than five hundred and

The cost of the English navy amounts to
$22 a year for every family in Great Britain.
The city of Glasgow makes $7,500 a year
profit out of waste paper collected in the
streets.
Abyssinia produces the finest ostrich
feathers, the price there being $1.44 to
$2.31 per dozen for the best white, 96 cents
to $1.93 a dozen for black and half as much
for gray feathers.
An Arabian woman who is in mourning
for a near relative abstains from drinking

color of the liquid does not harmonize with
her mental form.
The great Corliss engine that furnished
the power for the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia had 300 horse power. At St.
Louis one engine has 8,000 horse power.
It is reported that the trunk of a large
tree ad been encountered at a depth of 1,000
feet by oil drillers at Crockett, Tex. Large
pieces of perfectly preserved bark and wood
of clear grain have been brought to the sur-
face. The wood is of very hard texture,
and the tree is estimated to have been be-
tween two and three feet in diameter.
It is believed that the whale holds the
palm for length of years. A reliably cor-
rest computation puts the extreme age of
the largest of fish at 400 years. It is said
in India that elephants bave been known
to live over three hundred years. Certain
species of birds, as the swan and raven, pass
the one hundred year mark; camels some-
times live 50 years; horses from 20 to 30.
Sheep, oxen and dogs have less vitality; it
is seldom that a dog lives longer than 15
years. :
Those who suppcse that the umbrella is
a modern contrivance will be surprised to
learn that umbrellas may be found eculp-
tured on some of the Egyptian monuments
and on the Nineveh ruins. That umbrellas
bearing a close resemblance to those of to-
day were in use long before the Christian
era is shown by their representation in the
designs on ancient Greek vases. The um-
brella made its first appearance in London
about the middle of the eighteen century,
when one Jonas Hanway, it is said, thus
protected himself from the weather at the
cost of much ridicule.
According to a recent repors of the Geolog-
ical Survey tbe total anthracite produc-
tion for 1903 was 66,351,713 tons. The
average price of $2.50 brought the value up
to $152,036,448. The number of men em-
ployed to mine the output, which amount-
ed to 5,000,000 more tons than in 1902,
was 150,463.
The cedars of Lebanon are not yet en-
tirely exterminated, but for many years
most European lead pencils were made of
cedar imported from America. The largest
German manufacturer now has a cedar
forest of his own at home. In the United
States alone 125,000 cedars are annually
converted into pencils.
Reduced Rates to Gettysburg Via
Pennsylvania Railroad.

tend the annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, Department of
Pennsylvania, at Gettysburg, June 5th to
11th, the Pennsylvania railroad company
will sell excursion tickets to Gettysburg
from all stations on its line in the State of
Pennsylvania, on June 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th,
and 8th, good to return until June 13th,
inclusive, at rate of a single fare for the
round trip. For specific rates, apply to
local ticket agents.
——At Colorado a trusting father told
his girls that he would pay them one cent
apiece for all the dandelion blossoms they
would dig from his lawn, says the Kansas
City Journal. When he came home in the
evening the girls counted out 487 blossoms,
and he had to pay them $4.87. The next
morning, as he started for his office, he was
hailed at the gate by a small boy, who
wanted to know if ‘‘them girls’”’ wanted
any more dandelions at half a cent apiece.
“I’ve found a bully place where I can get
more’n a million,” he said, confidently.
Cocaine Trade.
The United States is buying 30,000
ounces of cocaine a year, at about $3 an
ounce. Of this only a very small propor-
tion is used legitimately. Some States
have forbidden its promiscuous sale, but
the laws have not been enforced. It robs
its victim of his mental faculties and de-
stroys his moral responsibility in briefer
i and in greater degree than any other
rug.
