8 g ¥ Bellefonte, Pa., September 2, 1904. I —— FARM NOTES. —Tomato worms are frequently seen with numerous small white objects adhering to them, which are the eggs of pupae or para- sites which prey upon the worms. Toma- to worms thus attacked should not be de- stroyed. If farmers will take paine to thus make the distinction they will propagate the friendly parasites to do the work of destruction among insects more effectually than in any other manner. We should learn to know the insect friends from foes and protect them. —Too much ground food is not beneficial to fowls. They have no teeth, the work of preparing the food being done ty the giz- zard, which must be made to do duty or the birds will not thrive. Ground or soft food will answer for an occasional mess, but the proper foods are hard grains, which the fowls prefer to grind for themselves through the agency of the gizzard. —In one ton of corn there are about 36 pounds nitrogen, 14 pounds phosphoric acid and 8 pounds potash. In a ton of bran there are 53 pounds nitrogen, 58 pounds phosphoric acid and 22 pounds potash. The bran is consequently much richer than corn in those elements, and it will pay to sell corn and buy bran. To save all plant foods there should be attention given the preser- vation of the liquid manure. —September is the best month in the year to renew the currant plantation from cuttings or from division of new stools. Old stools may be carefully removed and di- vided, so as to retain vigorous, healthy wood and roots. Theseshould be cut back somewhat, and planted at once in freshly prepared garden soil, where they can be hilled up heavily for winter. —T'he hog is very sensitive to cold and should be well sheltered when the season becomes severe. He will try to keep warm by burrowing into his litter, and when hogs are in large numbers they will crowd together, or upon each other, for the same purpose. This is injurious, as it is opposed to a supply of pure air. —The fall is the time to renew the oreh- ard, remove the dead wood and then plow the land, applying bone meal and wood ashes. Manure may also be applied to ad- vantage, the ground being well harrowed after the fertilizer and manure bave been broad-casted. In the spring the ground may be used for potatoes, early cabbage, carrots, beets or parsnips, which will per- mit of growing a crop while cultivating the orchard. —1It is claimed that if the roots of hya- cinths and tulips are left in the bed where they bloom and the stalks cut after bloom- ing they will bloom annually, provided the bed is well protected in winter. A shovel- ful of well-rotted manure over each stalk, with straw or some other covering over the manure, will serve as a protection. When tulips or hyacinths are grown in glasses the flowers are produced at the exp.ase of the bulbs, but when grown in rich soil the exhaustion dees not so readily occur. —To keep onions over winter put them in a dry location; such as a barn loft, and spread them on a floor or on shelves in thin layers. If they should happen to freeze it will not damage them, provided they are not disturbed when frozen. They should be covered with sheets of paper in order to assist in preventing sudden thawing, bus usually if the layers of onions are not too thick and the location is dry they will keep without difficulty. —The best condition for the growth of grass is a soil firm, well-disintegrated as a whole, but with a smooth and fine surface tilth. This condition also answers for the cereal grains, with which such grass is usually sown. Winter wheat is the best crop with which to sow grass seed, spring wheat next and oats the most unsatis- factory. —Considerable labor may be saved by proper construction of grain bins. No work is more disagreeable than that of shoveling grain out of bin, frequently the work being done by getting into the bin when the grain is low. This labor can be saved by attaching a spout to the lower portion of the bin, or the front boards may be movable. Removable boards should be preferred if bins are used for the storage of roots. It is much easier to take roots from bins than from pits in the open air, and by proper packing of the roots in the bins they can be kept in good condition until spring. ; —Farmers are frequently offered disease- proof plants and trees, so-called, but it may be safely claimed that no variety of pear, grape, cherry, apple, peach, goose- berry or other truit is exempt from diseases peculiar to its species. Some varieties may not be so susceptible to disease as others, butif within range of disease they will surely be attacked. —Cottonseed meal contains about 7 per cent. of nitrogen, and the farmers buy it sometimes in their fertilizers. If they will use more cottonseed and linseed meal as foods for stock they will derive a profit therefrom and have a large portion left in the manure. The cheapest way to use either cottonseed or linseed meals is to ‘make meat, milk, butter, eggs, giain and manure from these raw materials. —The smaller a field the more material for fencing will be required, and the near- er the square form the cheaper the cost of inclosing the field. Fences are heavy taxes on the farmer and should be avoided if possible, but if fences are made it will be cheaper to have them of the best material. —Pansies are favorites everywhere. An old hot-bed is the best place for them, or they may be grown in boxes. The suppo- sition that they will thrive only in the shade is erroneous. Pansies will grow in . any location, provided the soil is mellow and rich. —A handful of sawdust sprinkled with carbolic acid and thrown in a next box will prevent vermin. If sawdust so treat- ed is scattered in the stalls and on the floors of stables, flies and insects of all kinds will be less troublesome. Crude petroleum will be found excellent as a liniment for sores and will also assist in keeping’ vermin away. —All apples that are unsaitable for ‘market should be disposed of insome man- ner, as even the sound frnit uuder trees will in time rot and contaminate the ground. Any fruit that can be utilized shou!d assist in the production of vinegar or be evaporated for winter use. —Strawberry runners from the rows may be transplanted in August, so as to make a new hed. While such plants are not intended for bearing crops nexs spring, yet by transplanting them in the fall it will save work in the spring. Potted ‘plants, however, will bear next spring, if strong and vigorous. Strawberry beds are, as a rule, made in the spring. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. After citing cases of borrowed individu- ality, as when Miss Brown, with black hair, wishes for the red bair of Miss Black and which finally acquired makes her a perfect caricature, or when Miss Dullhead- ed, envying the vivacity of Miss Bright- mind, starts in to be vivacious and makes a lovely monkey of herself, ets., the Phila- delphia Inquirer, in the woman’s column, gives the following advice : The best way is to be your own self, to be your individual self. You have the framework for a type of your own. Take your individuality as you find it, touching up the best points and embellishing them, and hiding as best you can the little fail- ings and foibles and foolishnesses that are sure to be lurking around somewhere. Since you have a type of your own, do not go out and find a type that can’t possibly fis you and then try to palm that off as your own, for the deception will be quite plain. Let out your best thoughts. Learn to speak softly, to move gracefully, fo have poise and balance—and your indi- viduoality will be all right. An ingenious girl lately introduced a popular novelty in the way of entertain- ment, upon being called upon to take part in a charity bazaar likely to attract many children. She conceived the brilliant no- tion—it proved even more brilliant than was expeoted—of turning her powers of story teiling and her remarkable memory to account ‘‘for the good of the cause.” Her society bad always been in demand among children, and, when she set aside a prettily decorated corner placarded ‘‘Fairy stories told here, five cents each,”” the cir- cle of camp stools arranged about her own chair was filled as soon as each tale ended. There were always little ones waiting for admittance and sometimes an older listen- er appeared. The basis of one of the liveliest bome parties I ever attended was the plebeian, unromantic clothespin. The merry-making, although bubbing with fun from beginning to end, was by no means an expensive one, the outlay be- ing mainly for refreshments and a prize. Let us see if the idea cannot be adapted to our series of parties to be given at two dollars a week. Last week we had a St. Louis party on the porch. This week we'll invite the guesta out upon the lawn and treat them to a clothespin social—the fun to consist of a series of origiral games played with clothespins. If there are a couple of trees or stout poles of any kind upon the lawn we can stretch a clothesline from one to the other and arrange a jolly clothespin race. For this two members of the party receive bas- kets containing an equal number of pins. At a given signal they began to place the pins upright upon the line. The player who at the end of a certain time has most upright clothespins to his credit is winner. Two players contest in turn until all have bad a trial. The man or girl who of all the company has poised the greatest num- ber of pins wins a point toward the prize. For another round we might find a good sized basket, and, if the clothespin supply is sufficiently large, ask the guests to esti- mate the number of clothespins required to fill it. Each competitor writes down his guess as to the number, and the basket is then filled. It must be heaped until no more pins will remain on the top. The contents are then counted and a point awarded according to the guesses made. A picturesque way to award these points is to cut several clothespins from cardboard: and gild them. Each person winning a point receives a golden clothespin. If any members of the party can play a little on the mandolin or any stringed in- struments, a specially good version of magic music is possible. Or it may be managed from the parlor by opening the window in order that the sound of the piano shall be distinctly audible. For this seat the company in a circle, having as many clothespins as there are players. All of the pins but two are in natural color. The two others are painted blue or red—any color desired. The two colored ones are ‘‘dangerous.’”’” When the music begins the players begin passing the pins rapidly from hand to hand. The ob- ject is to rid oneself as rapidly as possible of » colored clothespin, becanse the person holding this is banished from. the circle when the music ends. As each two play- ers fall away two of the uncolored pins are discarded. The two people remaining longest in the circle are pronounced viec- torious. You see how very easy if is to get up a stirring game given a good text like the clothespin. The rest of the contests, if others are needed, can safely be left to the ingenuity of the hostess, while we progress to the sub- jeot of prize and refreshments. Ice cream, unless made at home, being out ef the guestion with the money on hand, why fot serve a refreshing fruit salad in tiny glass cups or wine glasses ? For this ‘secure several varieties of fruit in season ; ranges, pineapples, bananas and slices of oranges make a nice mixture. The fruits are neatly peeled and diced into squares and are thoroughly chilled in the ice chess before serving time. Offer pow- dered sugar with the salad and, if possible, pass sherry wine for flavoring. Or you may flavor the fruit with the wine before putting it into the glasses. Home-made sponge cake is a delicious accompaniment. As it would be difficult to secure any- thing ornamental in the shape of a clothes- pin, I would suggest purchasing instead, a nice fifty-cent prize without any reference to the game. If the party is composed of both men and girls, a good book would be a nice choice. If is is a dove affair a dainty Bandkerebief or a hatpin would be advisa- e. The popular colors for fall will prebably be browns, the new mulberry shades among which mauve is classed, a new rose red sometimes erroneously called mahog- any red, greens which are entirely off the’ yellow and burnt orange (coq des roches). Saffron, citron, golden brown and rich chestnuts will all rank high as favorites. Reseda greens, light and dark, will proba- bly continue. Saffron and citron mingled with gray is one of the milliner’s new con- ceits. Nothing causes a woman more misery in summer than undertrappings which have been worn too long. To the smart woman, immaculate freshness is as necessary in the corset as in anything else. Hot water, ammonia and a strong washing soap should be used to purify it. Place the corset, with string and steels in, np and down the washboard ; scrub it in that position with a coarse brush, and dry it in the air. A$ a good French laundry the girdle will be turned out in even more desirable shape for 75 cents or a trifle more. If the corse is a very good one perhaps this is the best way to have it cleaned. Guesses at Trnth, Many a woman is 'so shallow and artificial that her husband tires of her as soon as he has grown familiar with her tricks. Apprehension of the future depicts every- thing but the thing that happens. Pleasure, habitually pursued, turns to weariness and disgust. It 1s enjoyable only when followed with discretion. Emotionalism is commonly interpreted as feeling. But the eve may moisten, the lip quiver, the voice fremble, while the heart remains unmoved. Disordered nerves are no sign of active benevolence. Doing good to others often causes un- bappiness through ingratitude of those to whom the good is done. Women devoted to society are apt to be- come clever actresses, and their husbands indifferent spectators.— Harper's Bazar. The Winter Sleepers. There are some kinds of animals that hide away in the winter, that are not wholly asleep all the time. The blood moves a little and once in a while they take a breath. If the weather is mild at all, they wake up enough to eat. oo Now, isn’t it curious they know all this beforeband ? Soch animals always lay up something to eat, just by their side, when they go into their winter sleeping-places. But those that do not wake up never lay up any food, for it would not be used if they did. i ie be The little field-mounse lays up nuts avd grain. It eats some when if is partly awake on a warm day. him wakes all the insects on which he feeds. ‘ : He catches some, and then eats. When | he is going to sleep agian he hangs himself up by his hindeclaws. The woodchuck, a kind of marmot, does not wake ; yet he lays up dried grass pear bis hole. What is it for, do you think ? On purpose to have it ready the first moment he wakes in the spring. Then be can eat and be strong be- fore he comes ont of his hole.—Selected. Niagara Falls Excursions.

If the food digests properly, impure blood cannot exist, if the blood is pure, there can be no catarrh. Since catarrh is the result of im: pure blood, and impure blood is the result of a poor digestion, it stands to reason that to effect a cure you must remove the canse. Mr. Green says that if you use Vin-te-na and are not satisfied with resalts he will return your money. Get a bottle to-day and note the improvement from the very start. The bat does not need to | do this, for the same warmth that wakes | ! New Jron Hardening Process. A new process for hardening iron has been developed by two Prussian inventors, according to The Engineer. It consists in adding to iron a small percentage of phos- phorus combined with a laige amount of carbon. The iron 1s heated in a tempering powder consisting of hone dust, to which are added 300 grains of yellow prussiate, 250 grains of oyanide of potassium and 400 grains of phosphorus. The receptacle; is closed and luted with clay and raised to a clear red or white heat. The material treated is then taken out and plunged, while still hot, into a warm bath. It is claimed that thi will harden the surface of a piece of iron weighing 400 pounds toa depth of abous 0.04 inch, and that the iron can neither be cat nor chipped by the best Stsel used, and that it can be readily weld- FEARFUL ODDS AGAINST HIM.—Bed- ridden, alone and destitute.
