Dewseraliciatcn Bellefonte, Pa., June 10th, 1904. FARM NOTES. —Sow quantities of sweet alyssum seeds among the perennials and shrubbery. —DMulch the lily bed with grass clippings before the weather becomes hot and dry. —The pansy bed that has been exhaunst- ed by spring blooming should have a lib- eral top dressing of fertilizer for renewed vigor and beauty. —It is perhaps the proper system to wa- ter the animals at regular periods, especial- ly horses, but 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. —Crude carholic acid should be kept on the farm where there are poultry. The kerosene emulsion can be made at any home where soap and kerosene oil are used. Add a pint of crude carbolic acid to two gal- lons of emulsion, and put a few drops about the fowl’s neck, under wings and sprinkle it on the walls of the hen house. These little things are what give success to chicken raising. —Too much stress cannot be put upon the manner in which cows are treated in the stables. A cow soon comes to like, or dislike, a person who cares for her, accord- ing to the way in which she is handled. Pet your cows, talk to them, calling them by name. They soon learn to come at call and to expect a pat or a gentle stroke. Good feed will be lost on a cow that is cru- elly or carelessly treated. A difference of twenty-five per cent. in product has often been known to take place between cows that were equally good. They were fed the same, but treated differently. —In central New York there isa four- teen-year-old orchard that has always been managed on an exceedingly sensible and profitable plan. The branches are trained to the spreading habit which opens the tree to the air and sun. For about eight years the orchard was plowed and planted to crops, which require thorough cultivation like corn, beans and potatoes. Then it was seeded down with alfalfa and inoculat- ed. This developed a very thick sod which is cut three times a year for hay. This hay is fed to stock and then the manure is all hauled back again and spread around the trees. Under this system the orchard has made a very remarkable growth. —The first day the little chicks make their exit from the shell they will want nothing but warmth. The second day boil a fresh egg and crumble the yellow part of it for the little chirpers. This feed can be continued ahout five days, then soak whole wheat bread in skimmed milk,squeezed dry and crumbled. For the next few days give fine cracked grain, principally wheat and oat meal, and seeds, fed in litter or chaff. Daring the day they should be given what they will eat up clean of soft food, which should be dry and crumbly. Skim milk and cottage cheese are valuable foods. To raise chickens successfully vou must keep they warm, dry, clean, busy, bungry and growing. —Experiments tried by the United States Department of Agriculture’ to test the com- parative results of using large or heavy seed, and small or light seed, resulted very much in favor of the heavy seed, and dem- onstrated that the difference was greater as the plants approached maturity. Thus peas from the larger seed began to blossom four days earlier than those from small seed, produced marketable peas four days earlier, and the main crop five to six days earlier. Vines grew ranker, pods were much larger, and there were peas in much greater proportion from larger seed than on the smaller. Beans showed a similar re- salt, both as to size and earliness,and with several other crops tested the growth of the plant was much better from the larger seed, exceeding the small as three to two. The seed was all from the same stock, grown in the same piece and planted in sand in the green house under identical conditions, as far as could be given. —Insects are so numerous and diseases of trees are multiplying so rapidly that they will destroy the fruit unless checked by using chemicals. About three applica- tions of Bordeaux Mixture are necessary per year to secure sound apples, peaches and pears. Any reader of the WATCH- MAN can successfully use this chemical by dissolving six pounds of sul- phate of copper in two gallons of warm wa- ter, and as many pounds of quick lime ina different wooden vessel, and mixing the two into a barrel containing forty gallons of water. The snlphate of copper will pre- vent leaf curl of the peach, leaf blight on the apple and pear, cracking of the pear and quince, and indeed all kinds of fungus troubles. It induces health in the tree, causes the fruit to be fair, and greatly im- proves the chances of a profitable crop. This is the formula for pear and apple trees but it is too strong for the more tender leaf of the peach. The water must be added to the quantity to make the mixture amount to eighty gallons before using on peach trees. Every orchardist should own a sprayer to guarantee good, healthy fruit free from fungous growth. —Weeds entail more labor upon the farmer than can be estimated, jet if the labor annually bestowed in the endeavor to eradicate weeds could be applied at the proper times not only would the nuisance he removed, but the labor lessened. In the case of weeds the slightest amouns$ of labor saved in omitting to kill them when it should he done entails greater labor at oth- er times. Nor is all labor on weeds lost. Daring the eradication or destruction of weeds the regular crops may be cultivated and she land put in better condition. One of the greatest mistakes is in not destroy- ing the weeds when they first appear. It will require less labor to destroy a hundred weeds when they are young than to kill a single plant after it has made considerable growth, to say nothing of the fact that every weed that reaches maturity and pro- duces seeds leaves greater work to be done afterward. Although farmers are busiest in spring, and cannot afford apparently to devote time to weeds when the corn is to be put in, yet by properly preparing the land for the intended crop they gain time. For a year or two the farmer may find it difficult work combatting weeds, but the time so devoted will be regained fourfold in after years. Weeds can best be destroy- ed when rotation is used, and the ground should be plowed for corn early enough in the summer or fall to allow of the sprout- ing of the weed seeds. This sprouting of the weed seeds is the most important part of the process, and the farmer should be willing to perform any amount of labor if he can sprout them at a time when they will interfere with a growing crop. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Delicious croquettes and kindred dishes are made of left-overs. People who would faint at the mention of hash may be beguiled with foulettes. Left-overs may also be used in salads. A potpourri salad may be made of a lit- tle of everything tastefully arranged. Hard-boiled eggs, balved, with the yolks rubbed to a powder, which is mixed with various seasonings, and then pressed back into the whites, are attractive. They may be stood (take a small slice off the small end to make them steady) on halved toma- toes or dainty lettuce leaves. Many people prefer a Mayonnaise dress- ing on any salad which contains eggs, fish, meat or fowl. The simple French dressing is, however, the correct one for green salads. It is made by by thoroughly mixing one tablespoon of vicegar to from four to six tablespcons of olive oil, seasoned to taste. Judging from the fashionable women. The greatest changes in Fashion’s realm re- late to sleeves and skirts. femininity was shy of these changes. It is not the easiest matter to discard a mode which has been tried and found becoming. The great change, to come to the point, is in the fullness, This fullness dominates dressdom. It is a saggy sort of fullness. Sleeves are intended to sag in true grand- mothery fashion. As for skirts one simply cannot prevent their sagging, especially if they be made of the modish voiles and kindred fabrics and gathered in all around. There is more novelty abont the sleeves than in the skirts. They are veritable sartorial wonders. Some of them are more like capes, and many of them are a part of a fichu-like arrangement which drapes the back and shoulders. One smart costume of black taffeta showed this urrangement. The fichu was plain, and attached to it over the arms were little painted frills. These frills were shirred en and the lower points reached little lower than the elow. The whole effect was decidedly distinguish- ed—perhaps because the wearer was an ex- ceedingly distinguished woman. Even ordinary sleeves are for the most part mere puffs with greater or less variations. Some congist of one big long puff, saggy and droopy. As for the other extreme about three puffs is the limit. Abont the same might be said of skirts. Skirts range from mere deep ruffles frill- ed in at the top, by means of shirrings or otherwise. These full.skirts of voile are very much the thing. Dressier are those of messaline. Messaline is so magnificent- ly showy, however, as not to be available for ordinary wear. Indeed these ‘‘rufily, shirry”’ modes are for fine dresses anyway. Tailory costumes, for ordinary wear, show just enough tendency to droopiness and fullness to rescue them from the look of last yearness, to coin a word. To return to the ‘‘otherwise’’ part of the fullness, it is a matter of shirring. Very slender wom- en may choose to have the shirrings in clus- ters down to the knees. For those grown stouter it is wiser to have the shirring solid, or else to have the fullness between shir- ringe held in by means of tucks. Shirring is *‘it.”” Ruffles are shirred in. Skirts are in clustered shirrings. Shirring dominates whole costumes. Sleeves are shirred into drooping arm holes. Most shirrings go ’round and round. Clustered shirrings on cords are heautiful, if not new. One of the smartest dresses shows a fichu with drooping flonuces shirred on in sleeve effect. Many of the smartest taffeta blouses are shirred in clusters. Voile skirts shirred around the hips to a depth of five inches are smart. Skirts shirred in clusters often have the fullness between laid in tucks. In short, shirring is in such favor that every- thing that can possibly be shirred is shirred. In millinery there’s an absolute craze for brown. There are brown picture bats ! These brown hats are by no means som- bre, and they are undeniably elaborate. Whether turban, tricorne or picture hat, the brown is as a rule combined with some other color, and the most favored are the burnt orange shadings. Wreaths shading from deepest burnt orange to lemon and cream are very smart. Shades of green, such as apple and reseda, are almost as much liked in combination with brown. Gold and cream are beautiful hut more usual, not to say commonplace. The beautiful crinoline braid is extreme- ly effective in brown. In the sunshine it glistens like spun metal. There are other pretty straws, too, and these fairly rival the shirred net, tulle and other fashions of which these brown hats are made. Out of every display of twenty hats about five are like to be brown. With these the hrown veil of Chantilly or ring-spot net bordered with Chantilly is certain tc appear. Often it serves as trim- ming, being draped about the brim and hanging in long ends at the back. While styles are many and varied for lit- tle ladies, nothing is prettier for a very lit- tle girl than the old-fashioned yoke dress. Her older sister, till she reaches the age of 10 or 12, looks best in a frock with un. broken lines from neck to hem. Box pleats or side pleats arranged to give a panel ef- fect in front are a necessity for this style, and a loose belt or soft sash is added. The material of these dresses should also have some body. Piques and linens are best, but chambrays and madras are also used. When storing plated goods, thoroughly wash all the silver, and then clean with powder in the usnal way. Wrap each piece in silver paper and place in an air tight hox with a large piece of camphor. Plated goods will always tarnish if stored in a damp place. Be very careful to dry the in- side of both tea and coffee pots before polish- ing. The new golden-hued brown, called onion, is becoming quite a fad. It is very ‘effective both for house or street wear. A number of fine shades of leaf green are among the advance showings of samples of the supple light-weight hroadcloth to be the mode in autumn. The taffeta 1830 blouse suit is newer and more exclusive than the shirt-waist kind. It is worn eith- er with or without an under blouse. A novelty in lingeries waists is of white muslin or linen, with large colored spots embroidered in darning stitch. Tlnee shades of ribbon of a given color is one of the season’s favored hat garni- tures. Large Dolly Varden patterns in printed batistes make charming and inexpensive mid-summer gowns. All shades of kid shoes are now ob- tainable in order to carry out fashion’s monotone costume idea. The millinery fad of the hour in Paris For some time |Y is yellow for trimming, fiom the delicate tint of the Marechal Niel rose to citron, maize, orange, mandarin and even a deeper tinge, known as burnt sulphur. Washable duck belts are this sea- son embroidered in most beautiful de- signs and combinations of colorings. Out of the Mouth of Babes. Little Elsie wasn’t feeling well, and her father asked her what was the matter. ‘‘Chickenpox,’”’ promptly replied the small invalid. “Why, bow do you know ?”’ he asked. ‘“’Cause I found a feather in the bed this morning,’’ answered Elsie. Small Harry had just been promoted from frocks to a sailor suit, and as he was starting out with his father for a walk the latter attempted to take his hand as usual. ‘Never mind, papa’’ said Harry, “I’m hig enough to hold my own hand now.” ‘‘Jobnny,’’ said the teacher to a small pupil whose face and hands were badly soiled ‘‘youn didn’t wash this morning, did ou ?”’ ‘No, ma’am’’ replied the truthful John- ny. “Why not?’ asked the teacher. ‘‘’Cause,”’ explained the youngster, mamma wasn’t bome, and I didn’t have t0.”’—Chicago News. ——*‘Mollie, dear, don’t quarrel with your little cousin; you shonld love him.”’ “Well, I love him ’cos he’s my cousin; but I don’t like him at all, mamma.’’ Nor A SMALL MissioN. — You will agree with us that to change existence into life, or to make life more abounding, is not a small mission.

Several cities are taking time by the forelock and are making arrangements for a celebration - of the Fourth of July less demonstrative, or perhaps less fatal, than bas been the custom heretofore. Chicago is arranging a rasher elaborate programme with the design of limiting to some extent the liability to injury, without interfering with the patriotic and even noisy observance of the great anniversary. In an address to the school teachers respecting the com- templated programme Senator Hamilton furnished some suggestive figures relative to the casualty record of ten cities for the last ten Independence Days. From this disturbing exhibit it appears that the grand total of fire losses on that day for the period named was $5,659,000; persons killed, 1000; persons injured seriously, 6463. This isa rather heavy tribute to pay to patriotism, without extending the inquiry farther. The losses named in the exhibit Senator Hamilton attributes to the improper use of fireworks, and the plans of the Chicago association, if strictly adhered to, will, in the opinion of the cfficers, make the record of the city much brighter this year. The Philadelphia Fourth of July losses for ten years were reported to be as follows: Killed, 111; injured, 690; fire loss, $700,000. Chicago—Killed, 151; injured, 953; fire loss, $725,000. New York—XKilled, 149; injured, 1112, fire loss, $859,000. THAT THROBBING HEADACHE.—Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
