Bellefonte, Pa., November 4, 1904. FARM NOTES. —One ol the first things to learn about poultry is that they must be kept clean and free from vermin. —Kaffir Corn.—Kaffir corn belongs to the sorghum family, and its seed is excel- lent for poultry. In this section it is not as profitable as corn, but has the advan- tage of withstanding a dry spell that would be very severe on corn. It requires good cultivation, bus is a fairly sure crop. —White clover is a hardy plant, and if seeded on bare places in the pasture, or wherever there isa vacancy, it will soon germinate and secure a good hold. It may be quite late, and will make considerable growth if winter does not appear $00 soon. White clover is one of the best for sheep, and it is subject to fewer insect attacks | than red clover. 8 —Experiments with plant seeds subjecs- ed to extreme cold have shown that the power of germination is not destroyed but merely suspended by the cold. By the use of liquid 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 to 192 degrees 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. —New Remedy for Inseots.—The fact that the odor of moth balls is extremely repugnant to house insects has suggested to some ingenions mind the use of this remedy against outdoor pests. A New York farmer who was much annoyed by the ravages of striped beetles on cucumbers employed moth balls with such success that his neighbors are imitating him. He placed a clam shell (hollow side up) in the centre of the hill, with about five balls in each shell. This might be tried with other injurious insects. —Plants confined within doors are very liable to hecome infested with insects and their eggs. Fumigation with tobacco smoke will clean plants of all aphides and other insects, hut has no effect on their eggs. To fumigate a plant or plants, son- fine them in a box, under a barrel or in some other way; put a pan of coals with some tobacco leaves on the coals in with the plant, not too near, or the plant will get too hot; give a good smoke. This will destroy all living insects. In two or three days give another and you will be rid of insects for some weeks. —For a permanent pasture timothy, red top and orchard grass are generally used as these grasses seem to bold out as well as any. Other kinds may be added, if prefer- red, but the three mentioned should never be omitted. The fall or early spring is an excellent time for reseeding the pastures, but in so doing the farmer should use clean seed, use it plentifully and scratch it in it possible. One of the best plans to assist a pasture is to sow white clover- seed on the bare places, as it will make growth where some seeds will fail. —Dairy and Stock.—Sheep should never be driven. They should always follow the master, and they will always do it if properly handled. No one can raise colts with so little ex- pense and actual outlay of time and atten- tion, as the farmer on a small place. It everybody who milks would kesp his finger nails short, there would be less hol- lering and kicking in the barn at milking time. If you do not believe this, try it. Abolish that old swill barrel from the back door. Use the barrel on wheels and insist that it be emptied every day and rinsed ont. Secald it once a week, at least. If the mare bas become heated, draw some of her milk hy hand, and do not les the cols nurse until she has become cooled. It is best t avoid heating her for there is always danger in it. Light work will not injure her nor the colt, but great judgment mast be used. —It will do horses good to bave appe- tite enough to relish a meal when itis given them. On account of their lying so close togeth- er the shelter for hogs need not be as light as for other stock. A low knee is desirable in a horse, en- abling the animal to make a long stride more quickly than when the knee is set high up. Other things being equal, a nice even lot of wethers will thrive more satisfactorily and bring greater returns for feed than fattening flocks made up regardless of size, uniformity and condition. The crowning excellence of improved breeds of cattle, sheep and swine is not so much that they will produce carcasses far beyond the normal at full maturity, bust that they will yield a medium product of choice meas at an age considerably below that of maturity. —Winter Oats.—Last fall was so dry that it seemed useless to sow either wheat or winter oats with the expectation of their growing. unless sown early. There came a little rain about the first of October and I de- cided to sow about one acre. A part of the land was corn stubbles, a part vow pea- stubble and a part buckwheat stubble. I put the oats in without plowing, us- ing the grain drill. A little dressing of superphosphate was used on the buckwheat stubble; the other had no fertilizer. The slight rain did not sprout the grain and so the oats did not come up for about a month. Winter set in before they had made much growth and such a winter is not often ex- perienced here—almost a continual freez- ing with an occasional thaw for a few hours and with very little snow from the middle of November until March. Almost every part of a field of medium red clover, second year’s growth, froze out before spring. This field was adjoining the oats. When spring opened up there did not appear to be any oats left, but I decided not to plow the field. On the side of the field facing the northwest there were no oats, but on that toward the south a half stand of very tall heavy oats wasseoured. Some bunches were nearly six feet tall and I measured some heads fourteen inches long. The backwheat stubble and the corn stubble showed better results than the cowpea stubble. The crop did not pay expenses, but if the winter bad not beefy so un- - favorable the crop would have most likely heen a good one. Winter oats sown last February were an excellent crop this year, Winter oats fill much better than the spring varieties, the only trouble with the fall sowing being to get the oats in early enough to make sufficient growth to stand she winter. I hesitated to sow any oats, as they have always been an uncertain crop FOR AND ABO UT WOMEN. Mark well the man who parts his hair in the middle. Mark the man with the white or fancy ess. Keep your eye on the woman with French heels on her shoes. All these are, according to Professor Frederick Starr, of the University of Chicago, signs of degeneracy, and each sign needs but fifteen otheiscited by the professor to make a complete degen- erate. White work has entirely replaced the colored embroidery once so popular on fashionable dining tables. Harmonious coloring does not necessarily imply a room where everything matches. The monotone rooms of twenty years ago are no longer considered good style. A room is far more satisfactory when it does not proclaim its color, when wall, rugs, farniture, pictures and small articles, make a satisfactory whole, and no one part is unduly prominent. Sarah Bernhardt, who is well known for her perennial youthfulness, atributes the seeming miracle entirely to a special skin tonic which she favors. This eau sedative is said to have the effect of making the flesh firm and elastic, whilst strengthening and whitening the skin, and soothing the terrible ‘‘nerves”” to which our twentieth century womanhood seems a ready prey. The recipe for the lotion is as follows: Half a pint of alcohol, two ounces of spirits of camphor, two ounces of spirits of am- monia, and five ounces of sea-salt, to be added to sufficient boiling water to make a quart in all, when the mixture should be placed in a bottle and thoroughly shaken before use. This lotion, which should be well rubbed into the skin daily, is said to be especially efficacious in taking the fatigue ous of tired muscles. Knitting is declared by specialists in the treatment of rheamatism to be a most helpfal exercise for hands liable to become stiff from the complaint, and it is being prescribed by physicians because of its efficacy. For persons liable to cramp, paralysis, or auy other affection of the fingers of that character, knitting is regarded as a most beneficial exercise. Besides, the simple work is said to be an excellent diversion for the nerves, and it is recommended to women suffering from insomnia or de- pression. A few moments’ attention each day, and a few more moments once a week, given to the bands of the woman who does her own work will rescue them from unloveli- ness and save them from discomfort. Dish water does not spoil, nor housework mar, necessarily, and intelligent care can keep the housekeeper’s hands lady-fine. First nse a stiff scrubbing brush. They are better than the finer, more expensive brushes. Second, with scissors and file keep the nails ourved to the finger;den’t let them grow long or pointed. An orange stiok helps to keep the skin around the nails free and even, and a small box of pink nail-powder lasts a long time, and greatly improves the color and polish. Third, a good lotion used daily will maintain smoothness. This may be of equal parts of glycerine and rosewater or the following simple combination—one ounce of glycerine and one-third of an ounce each of camphor, benzoin, and alcohol. This if rubbed in thoroughly after scrubbing and careful drying is not sticky or greasy. A half-squeezed lemon is a fine bleacher for the finger-tips, and pumice-stone easily rubs off ink and other discolorations from the flesh. For burns and bruises use first a healing salve —cam- phor ice is good—then a bit of plaster or glove-finger for protection. Rubber gloves are t00 expensive and clumsy to be gener- ally recommended. Loose kid gloves are a protection when sweeping and dusting, and dish-mops save the hands, but the bess of all is the stiff scrubbing brush and soap and water used vigorously and often. Faull skirts are here, not without much discussion in advance as their mission in submerging millinery lines and the de- lightful slender and slim lines of theg Gibson girl heroine. There are various modes of introducing fallness in skirts. One plan comprehend the scheme of having the skirt made with alternate pauels plain and plaited. The plaits are arranged in groups of four or five and finished at the line of the knees, with a little strap and buckle across each group. Below the strap the released fullnes ex- pands to widen the skirt at the hem. This model is beautiful in golden brown camel’s hair serge. The strap is of the velvet to match and the tiny buckles are of French gilt. The collarless jacket is trimmed with bands of velvet to match. Another way of tailoring a skirt to ob- tain the desired fullness is to follow the model in a wine-colored broadcloth. This skirt is very full, but cut walking length. There is a hip yoke, narrow on the hips hut coming to a sharp and deep point as it approaches the middle front panel, which it does not cross. : : This panel shows three narrow plaits pinched in as the waist belt and running all the way to the hem. Below the hip yoke the plaits ararranged in groups of five. This makes a stylish skirt, also a very heavy one when the weight of the material a bolero of tucks and plaits vertically laid. A wide shoulder collar of white satin is boarder outlined with mink far. stores are already taking in new supplies of these coverings, now is the time for housekeepers to stock their beds and couches and see to the making of the blanket wrappers they are sure to need this winter. There is a large variety of wools and of patterns to be chosen from. Some are very elaborate, says the New York Tele- gram, and there is no reason why the most delicate tinted of these in solid colors or any fancy design should not be freely bought and used, for they can be washed to look as well as when new, if directions are followed; and they will last a decade, if kept safe from moths during the summer storing. White coverings are used more than others, although the pink and blue French blankets tempt some bayers. These are prettiest when they bave an underside of white. The silk binding is of the color. French striped blankets show either pink or blue stripes, about an inch anda balf wide. Figured Austrians are used chiefly Jou, couch covers, but may be made robes. -——It is but poor eloquence which only shows thas the orator can talk. is taken in hand.

Republican stump speakers and Repub- lican manufacturers of campaign literature are defending Congress and President. The Democratic party charges the Re- publican Legislators and Executive with maintaining a tariff which burdens the people and takes the money of the industrial and agricultural masses to enrich the manufacturers. The Republican party admits that the tariff needs revision and asks that it be permitted. to correct it during the next four years. The Democratic party points to the prom- ises made four years ago and broken con- tinuously during the ensuing yeas. A few facts in the record are of inter- est. \ Barbed wire fences, wire nails, tin plate and other eommodities so necessary to the farmer, the mechanic, the day laborer and all wage earners, although manufactured in this comntry, from raw material mined in this country, are carried over the Atlan- tic ocean and sold for less money in Eng- land than in a country store in the Middle West or in the great Eastern cities. The Wisconsin farmer, the Illinois mechanic and the New York day laborer pays for his dinner pail, his nails and his barbed wire fence from 30 to 100 per cent. more than they can be bought for in England. Steel rails made in Pennsylvania are sold in England for $19.00 and $21.00 per ton, and in this country for $28.00. This is due to the protective tariff. An Americam railroad rans for a short distance on Canadian territory. On the American side of the line it pays $28 a ton for steel rails, on the Canadian side it pays $21 aton. The rails are identical. They come from the same mill. The Western farmer who ships bee, mutton and hogs, wheat, corn and rye over railroads pays his share of the differ- ence between rails at $19 a ton and rails at $28. The interest on the bonds issued to meet this item of $10 difference on every ton of steel used in building a road and the ap- propriation annually made to the sinking fund to redeem the bonds must be earned; therefore, every shipper pays freight on his shipment at a rate reckoned to meet these charges. Or, in other words, every farmer is laboring to earn for the railroad company the ten dollars per ton it was forced to pay the steel mill by reason of the ‘‘protection’’ that industry receives from a Republican Congress and Execu- tive. Of course it is the privilege of the Amer- ican farmer to share she profits of his in- dustry with those whom he will and il he desires to pay more than a reasonable price for his barbed wire fence, bis iron tools, his wire nails, his tin pails and his transportation obarges, he will cast his ballot for ‘‘the friends of the tariff’”’ who protect privileged persons at the expense of the farmer. Disastrous WRECKS. — Carlessness is responsible for many a railway wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from Throat and Lung tronbles. But since the advent of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and C»lds, even the worst cases can be cured, and hopeless resignation is no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Cragg, of Dor- chester, Mass., is one of many whose life wae saved by Dr. King’s New Discovery.

Not often does the price of a single egg climb to $1.00, but this is what was offered for each of the eggs of a certain Indian game hep, which was taken to England some time ago. For centuries the Indian game, or Azeel fowls, have been the very apex of the game breed, for the purposes of blood ard pedigree have been most oare- fully preserved for so long that the date of the origin of the race has been lostin the past. It is almost impossible to procure specimens of the purest blood, for they are treasured by the Indian sportemen at the highest value, and the best fowls are not allowed to go out of their native country. As game fowl they are great fighters. Those who have seen them in India—for the fin- est birds never reach colder climates—tell of their prowess. With them it is always victory or death. In America, however, the game fowls are seldom raised for fight- ing purposes, but for show, and as pets and hobbies of poultry fanciers.
