Bellefonte, Pa., September 23, 1904. FARM NOTES. —If the cow has to travel over a large surface and take a good deal of time to fill her stomach, the time and energy expend- ed will cause a reduction in the flow of milk. —Do not depend on the straw stack as a source of dry food for the stock. It is too much exposure for the animals to stand in the oold and pick straw. Is is cheaper and better to cut the straw and feed it with a mixture of ground graia. —While the Percheron or Clydesdale horse is excellent for drawing large loads, the lighter and smaller animals are more active, and compensate with quicker move- ment for deficiency in strength. as com- pared with larger animals. —As the leaves of the tulip and other spring flowering bulbs ripen and die the best practice is to take them up and, after drying them in the shade for a few days, put them in a paper sack and put them away until in the fall. —Over-feeding youug stock is very in- jarious. The animals do not require great quantities and the system needs rest. The digestive organs perform their fanotions best when the feed is given in moderate and sufficient quantities, but not too often. —It would be better to kill a few of the young pigs at birth than to compel the sow to suckle too many, as lack of milk and the effects of cold weather will cause the weaker ones to die. Large litters are at no time desirable, and especially in win- ter. —Potato heetles will attack the tomato vines, if potatoes are not up and it will be necessary to carefully look over tomato plants every day. Egg plans should be protected with wire gauze, or they will be eaten out almosé before the injury may be noticed, as the beetles prefer them even to the potato, feeding on every portion of the plant. —The burdock is a weed that is exter- minated with difficulty, as the plant pro- duces a good many seeds and they remain in the soil for years, ready to grow as soon as conditions are favorable. If the plant is cat off below the ground, and a handful of salt shrown on the roots, the plant will soon die, as the root is soft and the salt destroys it. —The ox-eye daisy has become a great pest in some sections of the country. Those who are tronbled with this weed should bear in mind that it is progagated by seed and not by the root, and to rid farms of it they have only to mow before the seed is ripe. It may require two seasons to rid a Bea entirely of the ionocent-looking ower. —Some sheep breeders worry themselves over the reduced price of wool, and aban- ‘don sheep as upprofitable, while other farmers and breeders are raising ‘‘hot- house’’ lambs at a profit. One farmer re- ports having sold $1200 worth of lambs from 100 ewes, but he used good breeds and got the lambs into the market early. Srcsess depends upon. how the. work is one. —The following is stated to be a nearly correct rule for measuring’corn in oribs : Having leveled the corn in the crib, meas- ure the length, breadth and depth and multiply them together, then deduct from the product one-fifth, and you have the number of bushels in- the ear ; for shelled corn take one-half of shis. To be strictly correct, add haif a bushel for every 100. —In preparing the manure it should be allowed to heat at some stage of the prog- ress, for heating is only the process of de- composition. When the centre shall have become decomposed the heap should be turned over, and the coarser materials of the outside in turn shiown to: the cen- tre, in order to have every portion of the manure in as fine and available condition as possible. i —Harness should never be kept in the stable where manure is constantly generat- ing large quantities of ammonia. The am- monia is rapidly absorbed by the leather and the effect upon the leather is about the same as would result from saturating it with lye. In a few words, ammonia rots leather, and hence keeping harness in the stable is sure to resals in its damage to a certain extent. B= —The hog bas been called the farm scav- enger, but, nevertheless, the successful breeder is he who relies the least upon this over-estimated characteristic of the animal. Bad water, worse treatment in handling and sauperabundance of filth are the founda- tion of all diseases to which hogs are sab- jeet, and. it is consequently easy to believe that the health of the animal aod the quality of the meat must increase in pro- portion to the cleanliness of the' food and surroundings. : —Experiments with plant seeds sub- jected to extreme cold have shown. that the power of germination is not destroyed but merely suspended by the cold. By the “use of lignid air seeds of barley, oats, squash, cucumbers, peas, sunflower and some other plants were recently kept for 110 hours at a cold of from 183 0 192 de- grees centigrade. They were carefully and slowly thawed for 50 hours, and were then planted and sprouted as well as if they had not been frozen. —When the land has been plowed in she fall the farmer sometimes objects to ounl- tivating or oross-plowing the field early in the season because the hardv weeds putin an appearance almost before frost leaves the ground. This is in favor of the farm- er, if he will give the subject the proper view, as he can destroy the weeds by loos- ening in the soil,allowing warmth to enter, thus foroing the weeds to germinate, so as to destroy them before the seeding of grain is done. The earlier the weeds can be started the fewer there will be later on if the ounltivator is used frequently after the weeds begin to appear. —1Iu old settled countries the purchase of large quantities of commercial (prepared) fertilizers has reached vast roportions. The principal and most ae are those to which nitrogen, phosphate and potash, in some of their soluble forms, constitute an important proportion. Among these is guano the excrement and remains of sea irds—aoccumulated for many generations on arid islands of the ocean. Phosphates are derived from the bones of animals, both fresh and fossil, and from the rocks. con- taining phosphate, Bones contain 33 per cent. of animal matter and 58 per cent. in 100 parts ui phosphate, prigcipally phoe- phate of lime. If is particularly a wheat plant food, and is absolutely necessary to the nourishment of both animal and plans life. Nitrogen is also a necessary con- stituents of animals and plants. ani- mal matter of bones contains nitrogen. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. A DAILY THOUGHT. Although your nature may rebel against making an apology, do your best to over-come such obstinacy, for you will never be sorry for asking pardon when in error. ABOUT NEW COATS. New coats have appeared in a number of clever variations. Of the many traveling coats, perhaps the catchiest is the P. and O. This may be used also for auntomobi- ling, driving and the like. = It is a big box affair in three quarter length, with four astoundingly conspicuous jackets on the fronts, which are double-breasted, with bone buttons. There are two buttons .on- each of the pocket flaps. The broad back of this coat has a button strap belt. So have the novel fell sleeves, the novelty resting in the short strap which points for- ward from the back seam. One button is 80 set as to catoh it flat. Another button, farther frons, serves when it is desired to catch this sleeve in tight at the wrist. This is convenient when it is cold, or when it is excessively dusty. The coat is of the soft- est. finest tan covert cloth and is tremend- ously smart. Another coat, purely a traveling design, is of a dark mixture. It has a tall collar, small revers, and long pockets with snap buttons which proclaim it also very suit- able for automobiling. It has a seam down the back, bell sleeves and fastens with hone buttons. A SWAGGER BOX COAT. Quite the most swagger thing in its class is a 28-inch box coat in tan covert cloth with the latest in collars and the new top dart. This dart extends from the shoulder seam to the buss line and throws the full- ness just where it is required, and remov- ing it from where it is not required, not to mention giving the cleverest possible form to the lower parts of the fronts. These darts, one on a side, are brought into the shoulder seams exactly in line with the back seams so that they appear to be con- tinnations. These extra back seams, go- ing up to the shoulder, are the remaining feature of the erstwhile ubiquitous corset coat. The collar is new, too, being nar- rower, an exact reproduction of the over- coat collar. It is faced with castor velvet. The cloth revers are trig and small, and three buttons on each side serve to fasten the double-breasted coat. It is lined with taffeta, though a good quality of satin is juss as good style and warmer for winter. The ooat sleeves are about like a man’s and show six rows of stitohing three-fourths of an inch apart by way of a finish. MASCULINE IN DESIGN. A coat on similar lines, so-called mascu- line in design, is darker and measures 30 inches in length. It also has'the velvet- faced collar and four pockets on its gener- ously cnt fronts. : Generally speaking, roominess is the prime feature of the new coats. The whole thing, even those with a number of seams, follow loosely the ourves of the figure rath- er than olings, and even the hig, baggy coate as a rule show the snug coat sleeve. One of these sleeves shows a seam down the outside. It is stitched twice, one in ordinary seam fashion, and againon the outside about three-fourths of an inch from the seam. Another clever new coas, not ‘in severest tailor effect, shows slightly elongated shonlders which not only lap over the sleeve tops but curve around to- wards the front until smart little pocket flaps have been formed of them. This is not as fussy as it sounds, the tailoring being of the most perfect sort. Five rows of stitching very close together form the effective floish. As’ for linings these coats show taffeta or satin of the same color. Many of them, especially the long big ones, are not lined at all. All shis ap- plies to these coats of covert and kindred genres, The dress coats are not yet in evi- ence. : FURS. Two important revivals are promised, otter and beaver. These furs are practically everlasting and the idea is to make them into whole: garments as well as into the smaller pieces. Either one combines beautifully with the fashionable brown, providing the right shade be chosen. The otter has a magnifi- cent golden cast, while the beaver is a trifle mdre silvery. Late years beaver has heen relegated mostly to hordering the bonnets and collars of little folks, and very lovely ‘it looks with white or willow green cloth or velyet. For day wear swwomankind will find that these rich furs may be matched in rich cloth, or in corduroy. For recep- ‘tions velvet will be worn with sach cloaks or capes with fine effect. 16 may be a few shades lighter or darker, or it may be ‘matched. Even perfectly matched there ‘will be such a world of rich shadings that there can’ te no sameness of appearance, either in the tur or in the material. Those who have always admired these lovely furs as well as those who already possess them will be delighted at this revival, Lovely chinchilla is a veritable rage ! Parisian designers are going quite mad over its possibilities, and those who con- jure our raiment are in a fine frenzy. One cannot speak of chinchillaas being revived since i is never allowed to drop -out of fashion’s favor. It is so softly ex- quisite that. despite its cost and its lack of durability, any woman whe finds it be- coming (many should: not try to wear it) is bound to possesssomething in chinchilla. Better one of the small and dainty pieces to be bad now-a-days of fine fur than a big, clamsy piece in some imitation that will look cheap from the first and actually | shabby very soon. A chinchilla blouse, or a stole with a shawl-shaped cape, will be ideal winter wear. One Parisian dress yet to be shown is of deep blue broadcloth and it is sumptuounsly trimmed with bands of chinchilla. Narrow bands are revived on evening dresses, and fur is always ador- able with lace. ¥ 3 WHITE IN HIGH FAVOR. White furs are to be in high favor. Ermine, in all its exquisite purity and with the acoentuation of its smart little black-tipped tails, is to be as much liked as ever. The tails give just the smart touch necessary to squirrel, and many an other- wise tame neckpiece of squirrel is made Sesirable by jndicions additions of these tails. : White fox is lovely. either for stole and muff sets, or for facing evening wraps. To go to the other extreme black Alaska | fox is smart. The new skins have heen inted with white, which adds zest to this ovely, glossy, flexible pelt. A housewife who ‘‘does her own work’’ has equipped hersel! with a big serving tray such as waiters in hotels use. When she is getting a meal ready she sets this upon the kitchen table, and as fast as the dishes for the table are ready she places them upon it--bread, butter, pickles, cel- ery, eto. ‘Then she carries in everything at one trip, thus making ‘‘her head save her heels.” When the meal is over she ‘‘car- ries out the dead.’”’ asthey call it in the ‘Sunbury and Wilkesbarre; “Williamsport; and at proportionate rates p. m. Reduced One-Way Colonist Rates Via | A Two-Pound Potato. Of Giant Proportion, Originated in South America. Some time ago a brief report was sub- mitted hy United States Consul Haynes, at Rouen, France,dealing with a new po- tato which was being grown in some parts of Europe, and the matter attracted such widespread attention that be was compell- ed to make the subject a matter for a sub- sequent reports. This wild aquatic vegetable was intro- duced from the banks of the River Mer- cedes, Uruguay, and distributed in France by Professor Heckel, direotor of the Col- onial Institute of Marseilles. In its origi- nal state the tubercle is very bitter, but Doctor Heekel pronounces the results of four years of experiments with it marvel- ous. The leaves are small and slender, somewhat like like those of the Irish pota- to and the flowers are abundant, of a pale violet color, and every odorous, the per- fume resembling that of jasmine. New stems and tubercles branch off in every direction all the years, and after one planting the plant perpetuates itself from the broken roots left in the soil. The vegetable proper (that is, the tuber- cle) weighs from 1 to 2} pounds, and has a yellowish, wrinkled skin, covered with lenticels, which disappear after culture. The pulp, when cooked, has a slight greenish color. At first they had a very bitter taste, but this has been greatly im- proved, o Planting is done toward the end of March, perfectly in level ground, so as to diminish drainage. The best depth seems to he above three inches. The digging, which is a little more difficult than that of the Irish potato, because the numerous tubercles extend in every direction, be- gins when cold basarrested the growth of the plant. In the same soil the yield is greatly superior to that of the ordinary potato. The Early Rose in one instance gave 3000 pounds to the acre, the Ameri- can Marvel 3000 pounds, and the Solanum commersonii 8500 pounds. The new potato requires humid, fresh, even marshy soil. In dry, sandy, clayey soil the yield has been 25 per cent. less than in moist. soil. The absence of sun- light causes a smaller yield, with smaller and inferior tubercles, and ten to fifteen days later ripecing. : The foliage, refused by rabbits, is eaten by horses, cattle and sheep. The flowers which make appearance about a month after the plant shows above the soil, con- tinue to be very abundant until the harv- est. A rude attempt to extract the per- fume has furnished an exquisite, aromatio, very persistent, bus faint jasmine odor. In the fruit this perfume is so strong that when specimens were placed in an artifi- cally heated room to dry, the room was uninbabitable for the fifteen days they were there.
