Bellefonte, Pa., August 26, 1904. SS NUS : ‘FARM NOTES. —When cows are tested for records they are not fed on straw and fodder, or with the view of saving in the food, but, on the contrary, the best foods that can be ob- tained are not considered too good or coat- ly. Grain, clover, pasturage, linseed meal and roots assist, each to afford a variety or change, to promote the appetite and to induce the cow to eat as much as she can digest, hence such cows have great diges- tive capacity and can utilize large quanti- ties of food. The fact that they are well bred is simply an evidence that they are from families that have teen noted for good reo- ords. Itis she food that makes the milk and butter, but an ordinary cow does not possess the capacity of consuming and con- verting large quantities of food into milk and butter compared wish one that is pure bred. i —Any plant growing where it is not de- sired is a weed. One of the most detess- able of weeds is rye in a wheat field, and yet such cases are frequent. Even two va- rieties of the same kind of plants should never be allowed together. If two blades of grass or stalks of corn are growing side by side and do not thrive one of them should be removed in order to allow the other the plant food which is being taken by both. One performs the services of a weed to the other. —It is sometimes an advantage to plow the ground and spread the manure in the fall,but the kind of land and circumstances of local nature must be considered. If the manure is thoronghly worked into the soil with a barrow there will be bus little risk of loss of the soluble matter. Manure, as a rule, is ‘mostly solid material, and the frosts and moisture will assist in disin- tegrasing it. There will also be a saving of time in the spreading of the manure, as less work will be required during the busy season. —The land thas was devoted to toes this year should beseeded torye, limed in the spring, snd corn ‘grown on, the same land nexs year. Such a plan gives the land two weadings and cleans it thoroughly. It is also an ¢ Yaniage not to grow potatoes on the same land oftener than one year in four, as a precaution against disease. Rye should cover all land thas B® Dowel in the fall, as is prevents loss of fertility and when turned under in spring it will add fertiliz- ing ‘material to the soil, the lime being used to neutralize any acidity that may exist. —ZEarly and late frosts are disliked by farmers, bus such frosts do more harm to insects than the severe cold of winter, as shey catoh maby’ insects out of ground or just below the surface. It bas been no- ticed that when the wintérs are severely cold, and the ground remains frozen until well into spring, insects are more nnmer- ous the following summer than when the winters are mild. It in the alternate freez- ing and thawing that does the damage to insects, especially when there is a warm rain followed brs sudden freezing of the ground below the surface. —Straw can be made'to serve asa food saver and also as wi pling ven cold weather... As long-as cold draughts enter the stables the animals will demand suffi- cient food $o create animal heat as a pro- tection. If the live stock can be kept _ watt less food will be necessary. When straw is passed through the fodder ouster and used in the stalls it shuts off the draughts along the floor and prevente loss of warmth as well as serving as an excel- lens absorbent. —The tulip tree, one of the most orna- mental of our native shade trees, succeeds well when transplanted after the leaf buds begin to appear, but it is pretty sure to fail if removed earlier. Such at least is the reported experience of one who planted a row of them a mile long, the trees being six to eight feet high, of which hardly one in a hundred was lost. Possibly, however, there was something peculiar in soil or sit- nation which gave him success, and the rule will not work in all eases. The tulip is well worth experimenting with, for when grown it is a handsome, symmetrical tree, with a peculiar leaf and a beautiful blossom. —Soiling must of necessity become. the common practice on land of high value. Land worth more than $20 per acre should not be used wholly for pasturing. If one cow can be pastured on five acres at this value, it is clear that one cow should be kept on one acre worth $100. —Ashes vary greatly, as they are pro- duced from different sources, easily absorb moisture and their composition cannot be determined without careful examination. The most valuable ingredient in ashes is potash, the proportion being about six pounds to every 100 pounds of wood ashes. Ashes also contain about 2 per cent. of phosphoric acid, about 40 per cent. of lime and abont 3 per cent. of magnesia. Coal ashes are of but little value. Wood ashes give excellent results on all kinds of crops, especially on grasa. —The scarcity of choice beef will be pro- ductive of good results in the end. Juss as the low prices of wool forced the breed- ers of sheep to t.rn their attention to the more profitable branch of producing mut- ton, so may the high prices of beef compel the farmer to obliterate the scrub bull and keep hiscalves. If she farmer can produce animals that grow more rapidly than those he has been keeping, and also save a whole year’s time in reaching the market, he will not neglect the opportunity, and will com- bine beef production with that of markes- ing milk and buster, the result being that the manure heap will be larger every year, his orops greater and the capacity of his farm for keeping more stock be increased, while his advantages for converting his crops into articles that are more salable, and which will bring higher prices and more profit, will be enlarged. When east- ern farmers begin breeding for what they want, ceasing to buy their cows and rais- ing for themselves all animals kept on the farms, they will then make a step in ad- vance, which will add largely to their pro- duotions and give them opportunities in the future which they bave neglected in the past. —During the last few years she use of lime on land has greatly increased. This is the result of investigations as to the free acid in land of which lime is a neutralizer. It will pay every farmer to investigate his land as to acid. This he can'do by plant- ing on it clover of almost any variety, in- cluding sweet clover. If the plant grows well there is no great abundance of acid, provided nitrogen has not been applied to fertilize the crop. If nitrogen has heen applied, the clover will grow anyway, whether the soil be acid or net. Thus the test would be of no value. «common, however, as the ave ‘Sols is just as well to return to first prin- FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Remember this—that very little is me eded to make a happy life.—Marcus Aurelius. Those who hunt after happiness will find it last, if they find ib at all, az theold woman did her spectacles, which she had lost, perc on her own nose.—Josh Billings. It is said that the danger signal is up as regards shirring, The dresses now being conjured in the workrooms of Paris and New York are not shirred. To be sure fine shirring, elaborate work done on cords or threads in an original design, is likely to be good most any season, providing the dress be modish. Bast shirring as a fad and a craze isin the sere and yellow leaf. Shirred yokes in skirts have run their course, as far as new- ness is concerned, and the woman who is laying out a part of her income for a fall and winter dress or suit is naturally anx- ious not to decide in favor of a waning vogue. So far has the pendulum of Fash- ion’s favor swung back from the erstwhile ubiquitous shirring that even hats are not to be shirred to any extent. Tiny plaitings will be used when something of this sors is desired, and, indeed, these plaitings on bat brims both round and round and crosswise are to very good. One woman who had planned to have a house dress of soft ma- terial shirred from one end to the other has suddenly changed her mind, returning to the always admirable tuck. Certainly graduated tucks are not new. The great item in their favor just now is that they have not of late been done to death. In- deed, the fashion of shaped, hand-run tucks is not likely to be everdone by flashy dressers. It’sa whole lot like work to make such a dress, and, since the result does not show a block away, it is not seized upon by those who overdress. The Plaited Dress A Feature. Another mode will also share the vogue of the tuck. It is the plait. : The plaited dress is to be a feature. One may also ‘say that plaits are not new which is true. They are not as loud and » shirring. Furthermore, they are eminently capable of being made into quiet, elegant street suis, which is an item in their favor for dresses with some idea of sartorial pro- pristies. One clever costume nos yet fin- ished is of light-weight face cloth in plom- bago blue, ashade even paler than peri- winkle, though exquisitely olear. The skirt is an 11-gore model in plaited effect, is made with one of the new yokes, which i8 so complicated in its graduated elonga- tions as to evade hasty description. Itis all mixed up with the skirs, so to speak. It is very graceful, however, and fits su- perbly. The coat is three-quarter length, a little more than hal? fitting, and with a yoke empiecement, beautifully stitched, which carries ous the design of ‘the skirt yoke—which, alas!" does not show when the coat is on. Neither will the white batiste lingerie blouse, with its itsets sar- rounded by whole systems of Frenoh knots in the delicate plumbago blue. Sleeve Changes. No doubs the sleeve will give many an undecided one trouble. One who knows assures us thas sleeves are broadening higher up, and thas the scant as well as the shoulder will presently be things of the pass. Of course, there’s bound $0 come a reaction from the. t00 Ernduiothery™ arrangements which bave flourished for some time. Besides, those of us who are droopy anyway ‘in spirits and figure don’t fancy having the |. idea (and the very lines) carried out even to our shoulders and sleeves. It is well, $00, to ‘have in mind the figare. Our shoulders and other parts of our anatomy, unless we be very stout, musuallv stayin about the same place, no matter what effect we achieve by novel cut and design. ciples now and then. ‘A little blonse suit of brown eloth being made fora certain fair shows gathered fullness at the sleeve tops, not to mention ‘tiny narrow vest effects in deep nasturtium cloth braided in black and brown. 4 The rage for leather is great this season and the summer girl adds a few leather ornaments to her costume. One of her fads is that of a suede belt, which she matches to her shoes. With russet shoes she will wear a belt of russet, thin and clasped with a big gold buckle. And there are leather novelties. One of these is the snedeset, which is worn with nice gowns and with shirt-waist suits. Is con- sists of several pieces and comes in a vari- ety of colors. It can be seen in cream suede and in pale green and a soft, pretty brown, One of the handsomest of waist sets is made of thinnest snede. There is a. wide belt of golden brown fastened with a big brass buckle. Then there is a narrow turn-over stock of golden brown suede and leather bands to mateh for the wrists. A set of this kind would be very smart over a golf suit and particularly fine over a linen suit for any outing purpose, such as. coaching or antomobiling. One might easily punrchase the material for making thes e suedes sets. There is the long, wide, soft strip for the helt. It is not finished upon either edge, but is plain: and neat. Then there are the suede bands: for the sleeves and the neck. These can be worn over well-tailored frocks and are very smart. han ; One of the peculiarities. of the summer coats is that most of them bave their sleeves lined with taffeta, bust the other parts of the coat are left unlined. Sleeves are sach elaborate and cumbersome things this season that it appears to their makers necessary to give them some sort of sup- port, while for the sake of coolness the bodies have nothing in the way of lining, unless it be of chiffon or lace. br 3 A handsome but comparatively simple pongee coat in the natural ecru tint comes to the knees, and has a half-box back ;oross. ‘ing the back from each of the side seams is a three-inch band stitshed several times at each edge terminating in a pisket point. Each of these points is turned back on the. strap six inches and the doubled back edges are joined, thus confining the bagging full- ness of the garment. ne The sleeves are large leg of mutton, and, while the coat itself is unlined, the sleeves have linings, the same shape as the outer sleeve, but smaller, of ecra taffeta. They are plain and dip over the cuffs, which are wide and shaped, and have pieces of black silk inserted to matoh the neck, finished, and are elaborately trimmed with the. braid, and haverows of the little brass buttons down the outside. It is always funny to see a woman lif the front breadth of her gown and im gin that the hem all around at is clearingthe sidewalk. Old ladies have this habit toe arge degree, the back part of the frock — The Man Behind the Fair. One thing struck me e-pecially in St. Louis. Is was the gatheriuys of the vari- ous organizations, all national in character and particularly appropriate to the ocea- sion. The corridors of the Inside Inn rang with the greetings of these various so- cieties. I am told that over four hundred of these ‘‘special meetings’’ have been planned for the period of the fair months. These meetings play a prominent part in sue welding together of national life and orf. : Bat behind all this, at least for me, there is a strong personality, and each evening in my scanty leisure I find myself think- ing of the personality behind the fair—a long, lank, aggressive personage, with whose face und form and style of dress we are all familiar. I see him stand with wel- coming arm upraised and coat-tails flying in the night wind—a jovial smile wreath- ing his lips—it is none other than our own Uncle Sam, he whom the nations of the earth have come to visit and delight to honor, now that he has won his way to the front rank among them. And at the fair to-day we are not so much concerned for the advancement of our commerce and manufactures as that. Uncle Sam’s prestige as a host shall be snitably upheld. This is what is at stake, and if I might venture a prophecy regarding such a mighty under- taking as the World’s fair, 1 will say that every day the tide of travel to St. Lonis will increase, until it has become such as has never been witnessed before on an oc- casion of this kind in this country.—Joe Mitchell Chapple in the National Magazine. . Counterpanes Displace Blankets. Additional Comfort for Travelers on “the South- west Limited.’ The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail- way company owns and operates the sleep- ing cars in service on ite various lines, and has just inangurated an innovation which will appeal to all sleeping car travelers. On ite “Southwest Limited’’ trains be- tween Chicago and Kansas City white: counterpanes or bed-spreads bave replaced the heavy woolen blankets which have heretofore been in evidence twelve months in each year, much $o'the discomfort in hot weather of sleeping car patrons. Blankets will be held in reserve and within seach for cool nights. This innovation is calculated to not only add to the comfort of passengers, bus it will appeal to all who like a that is invit- ing in appearance. Niagara Falls Excursions.

When the crusaders against policy made the statement that the gross daily receipts from the game in Chicago aggregated $30,- 000 the community was astounded. Thirty thousand dollars in pennies and dimes gambled away each day ! Impossible ! But such is the trath. Most persons never stop to think of the power of loose change. They hold it so ightly that they fling it about recklessly, and thas is the chief reason for its power. The pennies and dimes give chief suppor to the churches of the nation. The magni- ficent contribution of the millionaire dwindles to the proportions of the widow's mite when compared with the great total. It is the loose change carried up to the altar rail which meets the mortgage, pays the pastor’s salary and sends missionaries to the four corners of the earth.
