Demorraiic iat Bellefonte, Pa., June 3rd, 1904. ES OT RSS AG A, FARM NOTES. —Do not wait until the potato vines are covered with beetles before applying Paris green, but attend to the work of destruc- tion on the first signs of the appearance of beetles, 80 as to avoid as much damage to the plants as possible. —The horer works from June to Sep- tember, or, rather, the moth is always busy attacking the trees. Careful examination should be made for the borer at least every two weeks, and if the trees show indica- tions of being attacked cut the borers out. —No plant will long survive if the leaves are cut off, hence the way to destroy Can- ada thistles, or other plants that persist in growing, is to keep them cut down. As fast as they appear above the ground cut them, and as they will become weaker after each cutting there arrivesa time when they can grow no longer. —1It 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. —The squash vine horer eats into the stem and does damage because it cannot be reached on the vines. The only remedy is to watch for them as they appear and de- stroy them. For the striped cucumber beetle kerosene emulsion, sprayed on the hills early in the morning, is claimed to give good results, the ground to be also saturated so as to have the work thorough. —There is considerable salt in Kkainit, and as salt is sometimes useful in destroy- ing certain inseots the kainit serves an ex- cellent purpose in that respect; but it con- tains only about 13 per cent. of potash, which increases the cost of transportation when potash 1s purchased in that form. The muriate and sulphate contain three or four times as much potash, the cost of the pot- ash being consequently less. —Burdocks have been destroyed only by persistent work, and are considered nui- sances and pests wherever they appear. They come regularly and remain, requiring work for their extermination when it can be given only by neglecting the regular crops. A remedy is now used for their ex- termination which is very simple. Cut down the plantand pour a small quantity of korosene into the head. The plant will then die and give no forther annoyance. —Gluaten 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 has been sprinkled,as the unadulterat- ed middlings are liable to canse indiges- tion. Bran and linseed meal form an ex- cellent combination at all seasons. Cows will always appreciate a variety, and it promotes digestion. —The slightest degree of filth in a milk can will injure the milk, and it is possible to have portions of the former milk contain- ed in the can to be left over, despite the greatest care. First wash the cans in tepid water, to which a little powdered borax has been added, and then scald them with boil- ing water,adding borax again. Rinse with clean cold water, and place them where dust cannot reach them. Borax may be osed freely with advantage in all water used for milk pans. —Scales should be used in every house and bain. There is more money in know- ing than in guessing. The following prov- erb should be heeded : ‘Deliver all things by measure and weight.”” Weigh the stoek, and grain and hay, as well as fertilizers, so as to deal justly and be fairly dealt with. In selling live stock the weight is usually estimated by the drover or butcher who comes to buy, and long practice on their part gives them a decided advantage over the seller. —~Qats can be made to provide anabun- dance of food by being grown and cut while the heads are in the milky stage. The straw is then in a palatable condition, con- taining portions of the nutrition which have been arrested on their way to fill ous the heads. When cut in this green condi- tion the straw and heads are cured like hay, can be bundled,and then stood on the ground for winter use. The proper way to feed oats cured in that manner is to pass them through a fodder cutter and they will be eaten readily by horses, cattle and sheep. —Faniilies that keep only one cow should endeavor to bave the best animal that can he procured. More labor is re- quired to care for a single cow, proportion- ately, than for a herd. A cow for the fam- ily should give a large flow of milk for at least ten months of the year, and the milk should contain not less than 4 per cent. of butter fat, as eream is oue of the essentials. It is better to have a cow that gives even richer milk, but the majority of family cows are selected without regard to merits in that respect. It is difficult to raise the calves in such cases, hence in purchasing the family cow it will be profitable to pay a high price for a superior animal. . —Puat in a good crop of fodder corn, sown in the row, with rows four feet apart, 80 as to cultivate it. Do not out the fodder until the ears begin to glaze, when it may be put in a silo or cut down, cured and stored in the barn. Such fodder should never be stacked in the fields, as its .qual- ity will be injured by exposure to sun and rains. The value of fodder is greatly in- fluenced by the period of growth at which it is cut. If out too soon it will contain a large proportion of water, and if cut too late it will lose its sucoulency. Experi- ments indicate that the proper time is when the ears are in the ‘‘milky stage,’’ and just beginning to glaze. —It is always best to start with a full colony of bees, and ore that isin every way in first class condition. It is true that one can buy a part of a colony for less money, but it is the dearest in the long ran, and more liable to be a failure. A full colony of bees in one reason is capable of storing 100 or 200 pounds of honey; besides, they may swarm and make from one to two colonies. A full colony of bees should al- ways be in a condition to take care of them- selves, and do not require such difficuls manipulation as that of a nucleus, or pounds of bees, and a queen, etc. Fall colonies are now sent in the ordinary hives used in the apiary, and are equipped with the nec- essary fixtures to have everything in work- ing order the moment the bees aie located and the entrance opened. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. “‘One person in the house who is happy, is worth a dozen who are only trying to make other people happy.’’ Skirts are undeniably shorter in the back, but what they have lost in length is more than balanced by the additional width. Not only are the skirts very full, but frills and shirrings are added, aud the amount of material used in some models is almost in- credible. It is quite the fashion to make elabcrate skirts unlined to wear over dif- ferent slips, and especially black skirts which are inlet with hlack lace. A black gown of the latest mode is a veritable four de force, and the toilette can be so changed by different accessories that it always ap- pears fresh. Very coarse laces are less used than formerly, finer threads with bold effects and wide meshes are quite as prevalent as ever. One of the fads of the moment is the union of such lace with the old English eyelet embroidery which is again at the height of popularity. In thin gowns, the much used Teneriffe wheels of last year again appear. Bus this time they are rath- er a part of the setting for the embroidery than of first importance themselves. A gown of white organdie recently seen will illustrate their use. The full skirt was divided midway its length by circles cut in the material and scalloped fine around the edge. These were filled with Teneriffe wheels. The deep shaped and shirred flounce was an ornate affair made up of the eyelet embroidery helped ont with the wheels. The waist was decorated in simi- lar fashion. The trained skirt is only considered fasb- ionable for the decollete evening or fora wedding gown. The instep-length skirt is being accepted for the most elaborate cos- tumes for day wear. The round, broad sailors, with rolling brims in closely woven straws, are the favorite tailored effects for wee women,and velvet is by all adds the most popular trim- ming. Ornate designs in buckles, and smart, stiff quills are also used,but flowers are considered exceedingly bad form on hats to be worn by the little ones. In truth, flowers, except for the most ex- pensive varieties and the ribbon garnitures on dressy lace hats, are rather under the ban of Dame Fashion, so far as little peo- ple are concerned. They are being used so much in the very cheap grades and in such atrocious colorings that the mother who desires her child to look as if she belongs to the truly elect steers away from hlossoms of all sorts. For wear with sailor dresses of linen, duck and cheviot, there are flat, drooping sailors, bound simply with velvet ribbon of a contrasting shade, or with fancy but tightly woven braid instead of ribbon. These have no trimming except a broad band of ribbon, velvet or corded silk around the crown, tacked severely in the back and then hanging below the shoulders. Very small boys and girls will be much seen this summer in modified Russian blouse suits, or what might be termed a cross between the Buster Brown suit and the long, straight Russian blouse. One of the best lotions for flahby skin, is an astringent, that will harden up the flesh and help to iron out the wrinkles, though there is nothing but massage and skin food to do thatsatisfactorily. Formula for the astringent wash: Take half pint bottle and in it put one-half ounce of cu- cumber juice, half fill the bottle with elder water, add one ounce of eau de cologne and shake well. Then add one-half ounce of simple tine- ture of benzoin, shake slightly and fill up with elder flower water. Apply with soft sponge night and morning. You can ob- tain cucumber juice by taking the green cucumbers, slicing without peeling and boiling with a little water. When soft re- move from fire and ‘keep in a cool place until ready for use. Wide girdles are a distinct feature of the present styles, and have almost entirely re- placed the narrow belt. A pointer for clever home fingers is that agirdle cut with the sentre back on a bias fold of the material fits closely to the figure at the waistline and is straight in the centre front. For wash gowns, girdles of colored linen or duck are very fashionable. ' These are ornamented with many rows of white cot- ton machine stitching about a quarter-inch apart. Wide girdles of Dresden taffeta in soft indistinct patterns and colorings of pink roses and green leaves, lavender flow- ers and green leaves are very dainty and fashionable bodice finishes for diaphanous sammer gowns. Even chiffon and mull are used this summer to create the fash- ionable wide girdle. These and those of soft ribbon often bave floating sash ends, with loops, knots or rosettes at frequent in- tervals. Girdles may be shaped according to individual fancy so long as they are kept wide. Some are plain fitted affairs, while many are crushed ; some have a point top and bottom in the back, while others have only the point at the top. The so-much-talked-of ‘religious pleats,’’ or en folds,”’ are simply very wide tucks. The hess shirt bosom board is one made of seasoned wood, a foot wide, one foot and a-balf long, and one inch thick. This should he covered with two or three thick- nesses of flannel, drawn tight and well tacked in piace. Cover again with canton flannel drawn very tight, and liberally tack. Make outside slips of white cotton cloth fitted to the board,and pat on a clean slip every week. Punjab neck scarfs are to be worn with- out a collar by hoth men and women. While shirrings are very fashionable they are not so effective for wash materials as for wool or silk. A new notion is to stitch down the up-and-down tucks of a skirt around the hips with horizontal .rows of machine stitebing to the depth of a hip yoke. Panama cloth is a well-liked stuff for the separate skirt. Black chiffon taffeta walking suits, with instep-length skirts, are in great favor for afternoon wear. The 1830 or French blouse is the latest idea in black taffeta coats. High turnover linen eollars, hand-em- broidered, in English effect, held together by gold links, and finished with a soft tie of chiffon velvet, tulle or coarse woven silk are very much worn with separate waists even with those of silk mull. Soft messa- line ribhon pleatings are among the new- est trimmings. The colored linen gown is to be in great favor for midsummer vogue, in fastest shades, like pale green, blue, mauve and yellow. Some cf the newest skirts are cut circular and then lined to retain their shape. A small collar finishes the neck of many fashionable jackets. ‘the oracle is so great that mishap to the Curious Condensations. A Russian medical journal says Japanese physicians are almost inyaiiably well eda- cated and conscientious. On Jupe 9th the Order of Railroad Tele- graphers will celebrate its eighteenth anni- versary, baving been organized at Cedar Rapids, Ia., in 1886. The government of Queensland offers a prize of $25,000 for a method of exterminat- ing the opuntia, a species of cactus im- ported from America. The Prussian State railway system con- tains 21,104 miles of track and its net earn- ings last year was $140,000,000, being 10 to 12 per cent on the investment. The famous cog railway up Pike's Peak in Colorado may soon be supplanted by an electric road, plans for the building of which are now under consideration. A Parisian barber, to win a wager, en- tered a eage containing a lion and a man and composedly shaved the man while the lion interestingly viewed the operation. Five car loads of Russians--men, women and children—recently arrived at Montrose, Col., where they will he employed during the coming summer in the raising of sugar beets. The history of international arbitration shows that by decades, from 1840 to 1900, there were, respectively, 6, 15, 23, 26, 45 and 62 cases. In the last three years there have been 63 cages. The King of Denmark has a very valn- able collection of birds’ eggs, which in- cludes specimens of nearly every kind in existence. The collection is considered to be worth about seventy-five thousand dol- ars. The guarto of Shakespeare’s ‘‘Henrie the Fourth,” sold for $5,175 at Sotheby’ in London, on Shakespeare’s birthday, is now the property of Dodd, Mead & Co. It is far the highest, price yet paid for a quarto. It is said that when the tomb of Chil- deric, a king of the first Frankish dynasty in the fifth century, was opened in the seventeenth century hundreds of golden hees were found in it. So when the French Empire was established the golden bee was adopted as one of its emblems. Alam is one of the latest mineral sub- stances of value to be added to the list credited to Colorado. A blanket deposit, four feet thick and of great width, has been discovered a few miles east of Florence, and it is pronounced to be of high com- mercial quality. This is the first discovery of alum in Colorado. On the flat honse tops of Morocco girls may often be seen flying kites which they believe will give an augury of their future. If the kite remains unbroken good fortune is in store for them; if mishap befall it evil days will be their portion. Their faith in kits plunges them in dejection. The most beautiful volume in the Con- gressional library at Washington is a Bible which was transcribed on parchment by a monk in the sixteenth century. The gen- eral lettering is in the German text, each letter is perfect and there is not a scratch or blot from lid to lid. Each chapter lIe- gins with a large illuminated letter, in which is drawn the figure of a saint, sone incident of whom the chapter tells. Visitors to China are particularly struck by the numbers of pairs of boots bung in separate wooden cages in the archway of the main west gate of Hsuan-Hua, the valedictory gifts of beneficial prefects. It is an attractive custom in China to invite a departing magistrate whose rule has been popular to leave a pair of old boots for sus- pension in a prominent place as a bint to his successor to follow in his footsteps. Mrs. Nancy Rose, who had kept the Stony Poins light for nearly half a century, died at the age of 80. She succeeded her husband in 1856, and up to within a few days of her death she had kept the lamps trimmed and burning, and rung the fog bell in the fogs. The bell tower was moved an eighth of a mile from the lighthouse two veais ago, and ever since Mrs. Rose bad walked that distance every three hours in had weather to wind up the machinery that rings the bell. The ‘‘dogs of war’’ in these days assist in field hospital work. In Germany and Italy St.Bernard dogs have been trained for years so as to aid, after an engagement, hearer parties in their search for the wound- ed, especially at night. Russia, apparent- ly, has no canine corps, and Major Richard- son of Carnoustie, England, who has made a specialty of training ambulance dogs, has received a communisation from St. Peters- burg asking him how many he can supply for service in the far East.

Schiff, the New York banker, was talking about plain and direct speech, says the Houston Chronicle. “To be plain and direct is always best,”’ he said, ‘‘bust to be too plain and direct is to be uncouth—to be ludicrous. ‘‘A good example of that was afforded by a clergyman. He was addressing a con- gregation of fishermen, and he wanted to be sure they would understand him. “The Bible tells us,’”’ said the clergy- man, ‘‘that it is as difficult for a camel to pass through a needle’s eye as for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
