’ 3 AREA Pemorrahiy Wat Bellefonte, Pa., June 17th, 1904. ES FARM NOTES. —Bees should be on every farm where there is an orchard or an acre of clover. The bees guarantee a better stand of fruit. —When hens are set put some powdered sulphur in the nest. The heat of the hen’s body will cause the sulphur to give off an odor thas kills lice and mites. —The latest means employed by poultry raisers to prevent hens from wanting to hatch, says an exchange, is to tie a news- paper or flonr-sack to the tail of the hen and let her drag is. —Plant sunflower seed in the fence cor- ners and other places that are vacant. The seed will be excellent for feeding poultry in the fall, and the oil in the seed will give a glossy color to the plumage. —1It is perbaps the proper system to wa- ter the animals at regular periods, especial- ly horses, hat 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 aud drinking, so far as they are concerned, than their owners. —Hens cannot lay two perfect eggs in one day because the hen’s body is not capable of releasing sufficient carbonate of lime to furnish two perfect shells. The first growth of the egg in the hen is the yolk. When this reaches maturity it drops into a long membranous canal, known as the oviduct. As it travels throngh this canal it receives a coating of albumen, which is the white of the egg. As it ap- proaches the mouth of the oviduct it re- ceives a coating of lime. which constitutes the shell. With a full laving hen this operation occurs only every 24 hours. Once in awhile, however, due probably to stimu- lation and overfeeding, the ova, or yolks, are produced so rapidly that two of them drop into the oviduct together. —The usual spring batch of complaints are heard about colds among the fowls fol- lowed by an alarming number of deaths. This is one of the tronbles where preven- tion is worth all the cures known, for once roup gets into a flock is creates havoc, and even though the fowls are saved, they do not amount to muoh for a long time. The first thing to do is to make the quarters oc- cupied by the fowls dry, and do it in any way which will bring the desired results. For treatment, if the fowls are not too sick, in which case kill them and burn the bodies, take ten drops of formalin, obtain- able at any drug store, mix it in two table- spoonfuls of warm water and, with a feath- er, swab the throats of the fowls. It's a nasty job and you will not need to do it if you will make it a point to have dry quar- ters for the poultry.—Indianapolis News. Every animal on the farm should be test- ed, whether cattle, sheep, swine or horses. The ordinary cow should have her merits known to the dairyman, and he should fa- miliarize himself with her qualifications, not only as a milker,but as to the kind and quality of food best adapted for her pur- poses, and the most profitable. A cow may give only 20 pounds of milk a day and yes be an excellent animal, if she can produce that amount at a low cost, while another cow in the same herd 1aay yield 30 pounds a day and yet prove unprofitable compared with the other. The ewe should give twin lambs, bat it is more important shat she give them sufficient nourishment, as well as yielding for herself a fair average of wool. The mare may be serviceable for all kinds of work, and yet be unproductive as a breeder, while the sow, thongh bringing forth large litters of pigs, may be unsuc- cessful with them as a nurse. Nor are the males to be excepted. The quality of their get ie important, while they must also give a profit for themselves as individuals. —Every farmer should possess a knowl- edge of the qualifications of his stock. Pablio tests of celebrated dairy cows may be of bus listle value to the average farmer, as he does not practice the modes of feed- ing during such tests, nor give the same care and management to his stock. Bus the tests are valuable, as indicating what an animal can be forced to do if the condi- tions essential to snocess are complied with. The farmer’s business is to discover what are the conditions essential to suc- cess. He may have the examples of others as guides, which will materially assist him, bus there are canditions, however, peculiar to his own circumstances, to which he must conform, and in which no one can assist him. His soil, climate, buildings, water, shade, quality of pasture, method of feed- ing and kind of food used are all important factors to be considered. So far as the denial of the utility of publie tests is con- cerned, the fact remains that they serve as beacon lights, in the direction of which all must steer. It signifies nothing that the product of the cow may apparently exceed the nutritive value of the food consumed, for the figures are stern, pointing unerring- ly to the realization of the objects sought, and, though the high-pressure public tests may be of the kind not approved of hy the farmer, yet they open up to him a wide field for reflection, and teach him that, while he may not hope to equal such, yes he must also test his stock, if he is to suc- ceed, without regard to capacity. —This country does not produce suffi- cient fruit to supply the home demand,and it is a surprising fact that at some seasons of the year foreign fruits sell lower than our native kinds. There are times when exceptions may be noted, but in our large oities apples are often higher than oranges, and, unless there is a very favorable season peaches are more costly than lemons. With the advantages of improved driers and evaporators bust little fruit goes to waste, yet there is a demand for a greater sapply, and an increased quantity would not lower the prices, as there are many sections as yet unopened for the sale of fruit. The Bartlett pear, whichis a luxury compared with some other kinds, find a market right in the midst of the country settlements. With good fruit selling at high prices there is no doubt an opening for fruit growing, and it should pay a handsome profis. As to overstocking the market, there is no ihilisy of such a thing with good frait. Choice fruit always sells, for there is seldom too much of it in market. Blackberries are now oultivated, where formerly they were picked in the abandoned fields and along highways, and 100 quarts are now sent to the markets where formerly only a quart found its way, yet the prices are higher than before. The reason the cultivated fruit ie far superior to the unimproved varieties, and oreates a de- mand itself by its attractive appearance and excellent quality. There is quite an average orop of worthless stuff sent to mar- ket every year, and brings bas little, bus we have but a very small supply of good choice frait. - because ’ FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. A MORNING THOUGHT. Happiness depends, as nature shows, Less on exterior things than most suppose. 3 — Cowper. It is a misfortune that a woman seldom sees her face except in repose. What a pity that one’s mirror cannot in some way fol- low us around. If we could only see our- selves as others see us, as we laugh, as we frown and as we talk, what a lot of reforma- tion would take place. When you seek your mirror it is to tie a four-in-hand or brush a pompadour or adjust a bat pin. As such times your face is practically expres- sionless. Youn may catch sight of a slight scowl, if the tie is perverse, or a pleased smile if the bat is. becoming, but for the most part you stand before your glass like a wooden image. You haven’s the faintest idea what your face looks like when is ia busy. Almost every woman overworks her face, nervous women especially. In general the most unpleasant expressions and consequent wrinkles arise from bad temper; but, con- trary to poetic justice, the best-tempered women in the world do their faces grea injury by oversmiling and overlanghing. Many talkers stretch the mouth, open i$ wide, wrinkle the forehead, and blink the eyes daring the most ordinary conversa- tion. Forced expression loses its value just as the excessive use of superlatives de- tracts from the force of words. Save your strongest facial expression for the proper time. Be natural. You will find that the people who force this snpposed animation are merely trying tobe vivacious. They acquire all kinds of strange mannerisme that mark their faces curiously. A good rule for appearing attractive and at the same time saving your face is this: Laugh only with your eyes until laughter insists on breaking from your lips. Eye laughter is a very charming accomplish- ment. This does not mean a squinting of the lids, bus a brightening and dilating of the eye itself. Study carefully your smiles and your laughter. Not half the women in the world smile well.and not one-tenth of them laogh gracefully. Occasionally go to a mirror and look at yourself critically. Is the face perfectly calm ? Do not leave the mirror until it is 80. You oan bring it to this point by up- turning the corners of the mouth. The whole face falls into line and smooths itself out into a peaceful expression. So soon as this is accomplished sit or lie down, olos- ing the eyes and forcing away thought from the nervous, irritated brain. Let loose mentally. Say to yourself, ‘I am so sleepy and peaceful.” Relax the muscles of the face as you have learned todo with the muscles of the body. Go through this process for five minutes at any time of the day you find your face looking worn or tired. It will iron out lines wonderfully, even in so short a space. The general rules for face massage are as follows : I. Rub toward the scalp; never downward. 2. Rub in the opposite direc- tion from which the wrinkles are formed. It is none too early for the fortnight va- cation girl to plan her summer outing, and the frocks to be worn daring the memor- able two weeks and the place at which the vacation is to be spent should be settled be- fore the gowns are hought. Costumes which prove available at one sort of summer resort are absolutely use- less at others. : If a fair vacation maid is to spend her two weeks at the shore, then she must al- low for a bathing suit, and if she expeots to sail, she will need a sweaterand a reefer for the early morning water rides. At the mountain resort, she will need a pedestrian skirt, plenty of «tout shoes,and a supply of strong, tailored shirt waists. It she is to be entertained by relatives or friends in some preity saburban town, she will need an outing costume for wear at the country club, a dainsy afternoon dress, and at least one semi-evening dress, sait- able for the dinner or the summer hop. Bat if she is going to the St. Louis fair, she will need principally light-weighs skirts, plenty or clean, cool shirt waists, a light shirt waist or two, and something in the way of a thin dressy dinner or even- ing frock, on the chance of some unexpeot- ed social attention. The three essential frocks to the fort- night vacation girl—and there are thou- sands of her preparing to leave every city in the United States between June 15th and September 1st—are the traveling gown, the shirt waist suit and the evening frock. In selecting these and all the gowns that range between them, she must bear in mind that it does not pay to shop merely for two weeks, and the wardrobe selected for the coveted fourteen days out of town must also do service on her return to the city, and perhaps to the counter or office desk. For traveling, a shirt waist of mixed, dotted or striped material is more satisfac- tory than pure white. Shirt waists of pon- gee, in natural tint or in black, are com- fortable and suitable for traveling,and may be relieved by dainty collar and cuff sets. If only one shirt waist suit is selected, it must be suitable for either morning or af- ternoon wear. Linen and silk are safe ma- terials, and the style should not be oo pro- nounced, as the dress must serve for many occasions during the vacation and the hall holiday afternoons after returning to sown. For the girl of slender purse, a dress which will serve for both dressy afternoon wear and the evening hop can be evolved from the sheer, flowered dimities and organdies which are offered in bewildering designs. Of the two, dimity is perhaps the more sensible, as it “‘tubs’” and dry cleans better than organdie, and requires less expensive trimming and garniture. For dances, there is nothing safer or prettier than white, and young girls are wearing dancing frocks that escape the ground. A dancing gown of dotted Swiss or spot- ted net over silk may be trimmed simply with shirrings of the material or ribbon, and varied by sashes of various colors and designs in the tying. ; She should have at least one pair of very light tan shoes with hosiery to match, a simple parasoi ina shade which will com- bine most easily with two or more of her wns, and plenty of fresh, chiffon veil- ngs—for be it known that the summer girl of 1904 will protect her complexion. A piotare or lingerie hat must be worn with ganzy, summery dresses only, and the same can be said of the chiffon-trimmed asol. If only one parasol is purchased, ¢ should be a pongee, plain or embroider- ed, or a taffeta in pretty check, with plain taffeta hand for the finish. This can be used with good taste in town, while the chiffon parasol is suited for out-of-town use only. Pale blue and pale pink mercerized lawns are being made into most attractive and dainty gowns for mid-summer wear. Gan metal neck ohains, relieved by small jewels, are still popular. He Had Seen Them Dug. Couldn't Fool Newsie as to How Stone Were Made. Many a city child who has grown up firm in she faith that codfish are born salt and that tomatoes grow in cans has had his idea of the building of the world rudely shattered by a visit to the country. A pewsboy just back from a fresh-air ex- carsion, says the New York ‘‘Tribune,” was stopped one day by Henry W. Oliver, the Pittsburg philanthropist, who who wishes to test his intelligence. ‘‘How were those stones made, my son?" he asked, pointing $2 a pile of them. “They wasn’t made. They growed,” was the ready answer. *‘How do you mean?’ “Why, jes de sameas pertaties. I seen em dug in de same field out 'n de coun- try.’ Mr. Oliver shook his head. ‘No, my boy,” he said, ‘‘stones cannot grow. If yeu were to come back to these five years from now they would be just the same size.’ ‘‘Yes,”’ said the newsboy, with a learn- ed sneer, ‘‘and so would pertaties. Dey’ve been tooken out of de ground, and tat ends it. Dey can’t grow no more. But you can’t fool me on stones, ‘cause I’ve seen ’em dag.”’ An orator. Johnny—Pa, what is an orator.
