Bellefonte, Pa., September 9, 1904. FARM NOTES. —There is a certain depth at which every kind of seed should be planted. Peas may go in deeper than the seeds of cabbage. Some seeds will ros in the ground if cover- ed too deep. Small seeds may be covered barely enough to keep out the light. —Chrysanthemums are the fall flowers, and have been so extensively improved that they now rival the rose in beauty. To secure choice flowers it must not be over- looked that the chrysanthemum is a gross feeder, and requires rich soil and an abund- ance of manare. —Fruits and vegetables are perishable, and this fact should never be overlooked by shippers. Pack to prevent bruising, and get the articles to market in the shortest time possible, as'a few hours’ delay may make considerable difference in their ap- pearance in market. —The Shropshire sheep has a round, solid body, a good fleece of six or eight pounds, and is an excellent sheep for a small flock upon the farm and for domestic use. Its size, and the nature of its mutton and wool, suit the demand, and it is most often seen at the fairs and on the improved farms. —With almost 100,000,000 acres devoted to corn culture in the United States not one-fourth of the stalks were last year con- verted into cattle food. The waste is large enough to support all the horses and cows in the country, and yet in many districts contiguous to the corn belts thousands of cattle starve to death every winter. —Many devices have been suggested for preventing cows from kicking when being milked, but the fact is that a kicking cow usually has other vices, and the surest was to cure her is to send ber to the shambles. A cow that is not gentle, reliable and free from vices should be made to give way to one that is of better disposition. —Any kind of succulent food will assist digestion and render all other foods bene- ficial. Carrots do not contain much solid matter, being mostly “water, but they are highly relished by all classes of stock, and the animals will prefer them to grain, in- stincs prompting them to accept such oods hecause of their dietary effect on the sys- tem. —An ice house should be so constructed as to have a donble wall (or air space) sur- rounding that portion above ground, and the cost of such will be but little compared with the protection afforded. There should also be double doors.’ It is not difficult to keep ice in a building above ground if the double walls are used and the ice securely packed. : —Every pound of grain or other food purchased and brought on the farm com- pensates for the loss of the elements remov- ed from the soil. A ton of bran represents 50 pounds of nitrogen, 53 pounds of phos- phoric acid and 32 pounds of potash, worth about $11. A large proportion of these substances are left in the manure after the bran has been used for feeding. —Small fraite can be produced with bus little labor every year alter she: vines are well established. Raspberry and black- berry canes will require the most work in late fall, and in cutting out the old wood in winter, and will bear orops for years. A strawberry bed, with care, should give crops for at least two years. Half an aore of land in small froits should supply an average family. —House plants become diseased more on account of too much water being used on them ¢han too little. It is at no time necessary to drench the earth in the pots. If simply moisteved and the leaves kept clean from dust, the earth will keep the roots in good condition, Should worme be found in the soil uses little lime in the water, but the better plan is to remove the earth, seleeting rich top soil or monld from the forest. —Milk that contains blood indicates that the cow has received an injury to the udder from some cause. Wash the udder with warm water twice.a day, the water to be as warm as the cow oan bear it ; wipe dry, and gently rub the ndder witha towel until considerable heat is created. For warts on the udder apply castor oil after each milking, washing the udder with warm water when the cow is next milked. - —Too much science in feeding cannot be given, but some of the advice relating to feeding according to the live weight of the animals is almost impossible on some farms. The German tables call for one and one- third per cens. of the live weight of ths animals, or: about 13 pounds of food per 1000 pounds of live weight. As animals vary in weight, while foods also differ in quality, the labor required to apportion the foods for the individual animals would be too costiy, and considerable time wonld also be lost. —Recent German trials indicate that the separator removes from milk and cream not only the dirt and slime which pass through the strainer, but also the greater portion of bacteria. As cows are usually cared for and bandled there is always some dirs and dandruff from the cow’s udder which gets into the milk. ‘This cannot always be caught in a& strainer, but if any passes through it is.ineluded with theslime which remains io the separator bowl, The Ger- manu trials indicate that most of the bacteria remain with it. —The hrush and curry-comb are far less used on cows than they are on horses, yet they are quite as necestary to the animal’s comfort. Who has not seen cattle rubbing their sides against a fence or tree, or their backs ander some overhanging limbs ? It not only adds to their confor to rub them down, but it draws the blood nearer the surface, so that the animals is better pro- tected in winter. With the same feeding a well-groomed cow will keep in good con- dition, when she would be serawny and raw-honed if not regularly carried or brushed. —A distinguished naturalist carefully examined the stomachs of fifteen moles canghs in different localities, bus failed to discover therein the slightest vestige of plants or roots; ou the contrary, they were filled by the remains of earth-worms. Nos satisfied by this fact, he shut up several moles in a box containing sods of earth, on which fresh grass was growing, and a smaller cage of grubs and earth-worms. In nine days two moles devoured 349 white worms, 193 earth worms, 25 caterpillars and a mouse (skin and bones) which had been alive in the box. He next gave them nothing (bus vegetables. In twenty-four hours tvto moles died of starvation. Anoth- er naturalist calouiated that two moles de- stroyed 20,000 white worms or grubs in a single year. If this is correct it is a strong arguniens in favor of multiplying rather than destroying the moles. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. The first glimpse of the autumn styles is very reassuring. We can be correctly dress- ed this winter and still make use of the gowns which we have heen wearing for a season or two. Sometimes there is such a radical change in the styles that a dress which was made six months ago is hopeless- ly out of fashion. Such was the case last fall when the ‘“1830’’ styles were first gen- erally introduced, but this fall there is not such a marked difference in the new gowns. The ‘1830’ styles are still much in evi- dence and the ideas which were used on the garments of 1860 are to be utilized on the winter gowns. The skirt with some fulness over the hips is used for every costume except the plain walking skirts, and, indeed, these, too, might be said to have fulness over the hips, but it is closely stitched down in side or box plaits. Moss of the new skirts are cat on the circular pattern; many of them with three gores, a broad front gore and a side breadth, with a bias seam up the middle of the back. Generally, these skirts measure about four or four and one-half yards around the bottom and are graduated until they measure about a yard and a balf around the waist-line. The fulness about the waist is gathered on some of the lighter materials, but in the heavier materials often in plaits of medinm size. The side plaits an inch or an inch and a half in widsh, fastened at the waist only, which were used so much last spring, are seen. again, and the parrow-box plait in front, which were used on the summer dresses, is fonnd on almost all the new win- ter models. There is much less trimming used on the new skirts, partioularly those made of the heavier cloths. These, as a rule, have a few tucks on the bottom of the skirt, a cluster of bands, or narrow folds of the same of a contrasting material. The skirts are gradually becoming short- er. Last winter the train was but little worn, and this fall it is not seen at all. The walking skirt and the skirt which barely esoapes the ground are very gener- ally woru, and even the gowns which are intended for ceremonious oocasions are not made with very long skirts; they rest on the ground slightly on the front and sides and in the back are only three or four inches longer than this. One of the favorite garments of the win- ter is the Directoire coat with its deep- pointed reveres, its postillion back, grow- ing gra ually narrower as it meets the waist line in frons, and its fanoy vest, made sometimes of velvet to match the gown,bus quite as often of cloth in some bright, con- trasting color. The little blouses are also to be worn again. Most of these are made with some fulness on the shoulder, either with tucks or close line of shirring. While the long shoulder line is still desirable, this effect is secured this winter by different means. The long shoulder yoke and the deep capes which were worn last season are not much used this fall. Instead she long line of the shoulder is secured by carrying the tucks in the shonlder seam down over the top of the sleeve, or by letting the top of she sleeve extend np into the coat, hiding the joining ander skilfully laid tucks. The greatest change in the coats this fall is in the sleeves. The gigot sleeve fitting the arm closely to the elbow where the fol. ness ia laid in by cleverly arranged darts is seen oftener than any other shape. Many of the bloused coats have little shaped flounces or postillion pieces attached below the girdle, giving very much the effect of the Directoire coat. : Brown is to be the most popular color of the winter, notwithstanding it has heen worn for two seasons. A great many suite, too, are made of the bright royal blues; the very dark shades of red and the deep pur- ple shades are still to be counted among the fashionable colorings. This is, indeed, to be a winter of colors. ! How to Place the Breakfast: Dishes.— Head of the table: Coffee stand, cups, saucers, strainer, sugar bowl with tongs, cream jug, bowl for waste ooffee. Foot of table: Carving set, table spoon. Cover: Berry dishes. Left side of each cover: Fork, bread and butter plate, napkin. Right side of each cover: Knile, three tea- spoons, tumbler. Knives should be placed with sharp edge of blade turned toward the plate. Place salt and pepper holders within reach of each person. : In the warming oven, putcovered dishes for cereal and potatoes, platter breakfast plates and plate for muffins. Arrange cereal dishes and spoon for serv: ing on side table. ; Two minutes before the meal hour,place dish of berries at each cover, bntter on bread and butter | plates and fill the glasses. Too much form is nos practical for the woman who is her own housekeeper, but it is necessary that meals be neatly and daint- ily served. The happiness and health of the household depend upon it. As soon as muskmelons are delivered, wipe with damp oloth or wash to be sure melons are perfectly clean. : Then place in refrigerator. ; For Breakfast.—Cut the small ones in half, very large ones could be quartered, and put chopped ice in centre of each. Salt should be at hand and some tastes require sugar. For Luncheon.—Prepare as above, but serve each on a bed of grape leaves or nas- sursium leaves; if the latter are used place one flower au side of each plate. The yel- low blosson on the green nest is’ very at- tractive. = And always select perfect leaves, have them washed, dried and chilled. For Dessert.—A delicious dessert is made by custing melons in balf, chilling and filling each half with ice cream. Serve on leaves. Ices should be used instead of ice cream if preferred. The best work and kitchen aprong are those made out of blue and white seer: sucker. One of their moss excellent guali- ties lies in the fact that they require no ironing. They may be washed and shaken out in no time—in faot, a dozen of them may be shaken out in the same time that would he required tn launder half the number of gingham or calico aprons. If desired, seersucker may be had in white as well as in the familiar stripes. The potato should be cooked unpared, as the mineral matter is near the skin. The saliva cannot act upon the fat tha clings to the fried potato, the stomach does not, so the poor intestines wrestle in vain. Tomatoes are most bygienio when uncook- f The acid of the tomaso is sufficient with- ous vinegar. f ‘gylvania . Aphorisms. The heart gets weary, but never gets old. —Shakespeare.

It is not the place, nor the condition,bunt the mind alone that can make happy or miserable. Pith and Point. As yon become older, aconstom yourself to neglect. In promises for the future your friends are all good to you. Listen sister : if you marry money ora title, that is all youn ought to expect to get out of it. When a man is sick and thinks he is going to die he is so badly scared that he is not cross. If you want to please the hostess don’t accept all the invitations extended by the host and the children. If a husband doesn’t like to have his wife save the old love letters he wrote her let him write her new ones. A man has many advantages over a wo man. A man can stop on the street and watch other men work and make suogges- tions, but a woman can’t do it without be- ing talked abou. SOME MORE PLAIN TALK.—Mr. F. P. Green Talks Because He Has Something To Say. The grip usually leaves in its wake a lingering, stubborn cough, which cough syrap fails to relieve. It is in just such cases that Mr. Green recommends Vin-Te- Na, and the customer comes back, not to ask for the return of his money, but to thank Mr. Green for having called his at- tention to the great tonic that sells on its merit. Mr. Green sells Vin-Te-Na and gives his personal guarantee with every bottle. Get a bottle to-day. ——Formerly the ‘groaning board’’ was the highest ambition of the housewife. To-day simplicity reigns. A few dishes, but these perfect of their kind, and all meals served in courses. It Is well enough to pooh-pooh the idea of improving on mother’s or grandmother’s methods, the fact remains, however, that the course dinner is not only more elegant, attractive and appetizing than the heavy oversrowd- ed meal of the past, but it is really easier to serve.

If the food digests properly, impure blood cannot exist, if the blood is pure, there can béno | catarrh. Since catarrh is the resplt of im- pure blood, aud impure blood is the result of a poor digestion, it stands t0 reason that to effect a cure yon muss remove the canse. Mr. Green says that il you use Vin-te-na and are not satisfied with results he will return your money. Gef a bottle to-day and note the improvement from the very stars.
