Bellefonte, Pa., April 7, 1905. A SL EN EHEC EL FARM NOTES. —Many good cows give but a small quantity of milk because they are not properly managed. Some persons allow a certain quantity of feed, from which no variation ismade. A cow should be fed all she can eat, and if she improves in the quantity of her milk she should bein- duced to eat more. —The currant is a grass feeder. Plant the bushes 3 by 6 feet, early in spring, on heavy, rich loam. Grow an open-headed bush, of from five to seven canes, cutting back slightly the first two years. Later on pinch back new wood, to develop fruit spurs. Mulching keeps the ground moist and cool. For worms dust hellebore on the canes when the bushes are wet. —Get your hot-beds ready for the sweet potato plants and use only seed that is free from rot. It is best to procure seed from some section where the sweet potato is not affected by rot, if possible. There are several forms of rot, one of them being generated in the soil. For this reason it is well to set out the plants on a new lo- cation every year. —TUnless there is a convenient market for the sale of vegetables the garden should be no larger than is necessary to afford a full variety, and in abundance, for the family, as the keeping down of the weeds and grass in the garden isa matter that may require attention just a$ the time when the farmer is busy with his spring plant- ing; bustevery farmer should have a gar- den, even if but a few kinds of vegetables are grown. —The ground cannot be made too rich for gooseberries and currants, and any extra attention given them the firs year will have its effect for years afterward, as a good start isan advantage. Plant in rows four feet apart, cultivate thoroughly, and then mulch. Cutting out the old wood should not be overlooked. It is not difficult to get large yields of fruit when the soil is rich and the culsivation is thorough. —One of the best disinfectants for the stable, drains, poultry yard or contam- inated ground is to dissolve a pound of copperas and a pound of bluestone in four gallons of boiling water, adding four ounces of sulpharic acid. This mixture may bave twice as much water if used once a day for a week, but if is better to use it somewhat strong for the first two or three applications. It will destroy the germs of all diseases existing in the poul- try yards if sprinkled thereon. —1It is claimed that land plaster attracts ammczia from the atmosphere and com- bines with i$, the plaster being broken up in its combination and sulphate of ammonia formed. Plaster absorbs am- monia, hut does not combine with it di- rectly. Plaster also absorbs moisture, and as moisture holds ammonia there is a certain proportion of ammonia held by the plaster for the use of plants, especially when plaster is applied where it bas an op- portunity to arrest that which is brought to the soil by rains. —In setting out a plum orchard give a northerly exposure, if possible, and one of considerable elevation. A windbreak on the east is very desirable. Plant close to- gether in the rows, 10 to 20 feet, and twice the distance between rows, running the rows north and south. Mix the varieties in the row and keep the trees headed low. Cultivate to some hoed crop, or set small fruits between the rows, and keep well cal- tivated. When in bearing thin the fruit, and markes in peck and half-bushel orates or baskets, handling carefully, and pack- ing before the fruit is too ripe. —Grass is always an important crop, and also an evidence of good farming, as no soil will produce a large crop of grass every year unless the land is well mananred or treated with fertilizer. Grass is the foundation forall other orops, as it not only produces pasturage and hay, but furnishes sod for the assistance of crops that follow. When the land is in grass i$ is really mulched, and of humus acoumu- lates. The shading of the soil by the grass is beneficial, and the roots go down deep into the subsoil for plant food, which is brought to the surface, deposited in the plants, and thus rendered available for another season. —I6 is not desirable to plant seeds of vegetables too early. If the ground is not warm the seed may rot before it can germinate. Such crops as beans, melons, squashes and egg plants will not endure even cold nights. Get the tomato plants well grown, in stocky form, and have them ready for transplanting as soon as the ground is warm and all danger from frost is past. One of the best guides in the plant- ing of garden seed is to do so when theapple trees are in bloom. Peas, however, may be planted in April, bus when the apple trees are in full bloom it is then safe to put in the seeds of the tender plants. Much de- pends upon the soil. spaded deep, and then worked fine with a harrow or rake, the air oarries in the warmth and the soil becomes warm much sooner than when it is given careless preparation. ; —-This is the season of the year when preparations should be made for spring operations. One of the annoyances of farmers when they are ready to plant is that the seeds are not on hand for that purpose. Every one who contemplates beginning spring work as soon as the weather permits should procure all seeds, tools and othersupplies before the busy period arrives. The weeds will be the first crops, but they should be kept down from the start. There. is nothing worth- less that grows on the farm, as everything can be utilized in some manner. The weed that comes up spontaneously takes fertility from the soil, but in doing so pre- pares the materials derived from the soil into available substances for the next plant that follows; hence, when the weed is plowed under the soil is that much richer in available food for plants. It is true that weeds are expensive, because they entail much labor upon the farmer in their eradication, but they perform a service on some sgoils that is exceedingly beneficial, as sterile lands would continue unproductive bus for the weeds that thrive on anch soils, many weeds being capable of thriving where no other plant can exist. All ma- terials accumulated on the farm, whether in the cold or warm season, contain fer- tilizing elements, and when the waste ma- terials are added to the manure heap the farmer is then manufacturing fertilizers on the farm without incurring transportation expenses, and the farm is thus made more fertile every year. It it i= plowed or FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. A DAILY THOUGHT. i If we are “to do well,” taking that phrase in its largest and noblest sense, we must ‘‘learn” to do it, acquiring the splendid power through attention, repeated endeavor and manifold sacri- fice. HAIR ORNAMENTS. Ornaments for the bair are worn with all evening dresses, and, while there are charming wreaths and sprays of flowers which give somewhat a flat appearance, the high feather, butterfly or spray flow- ers is more and more fashionable all the time. The hair is still worn in pompadour, says Harper's Bazar, but the pompadour is pushed more forward over the face, while the rest of the hair is either in a small knot on top of the head or in a soft, graceful coil low in the neck. SPATS SMART WITH SPRING SHOES. All through the winter spats have been coming back into popular favor, and now a walking skirs is seldom worn without the ankle being modestly hidden bya light tan spat. Some of the men still prefer to wear dark colored spats—brown and black —and a few women also wear black spats over their low ties, but the majority of women consider that if they are going to wear spats they might just as well let them be conspicuous, so the light colored ones are chosen. ' There certainly is an advan- tage in wearing spats, for while -high boots must needs be worn in the winter, and in the house these are exceedingly uncom- fortable, for luncheon it is a far simpler matter to unbutton a pair of spats than to change the boots so often. With a gray dress gray spats must be worn, and as gray is to be a fashionable shade of the spring, gray spats are coming forth in all possible shadings. These with the plaids and black and white checks, while tan spats can be worn, a black and white check to match the costume is in- finitely smarter. Later on duck and pique spats will be worn, but these need not be thought about for the present. With the new spring fashions it will be noticed that tan and gray shoes and stock- ings are going to be quite the fad with gowns of the same shade. Tan shoes will be worn with every color possible, and in- deed in warm weather they are far more attractive than the black. Suede slippers are always pretty and extraordinarily be- coming to the feet, bus for hard everyday wear, unfortunately are not praotical. With tan pumpsand ties spats of the same ghade will be worn late into the summer— this is, of Jourse, in the city. Oxford ties after having been rather frowned upon for the last few years are once again becoming popular, for the small pump, which undoubtedly does make the foot look delightfully, has been found almost impossible to walk in. Of course, if some means can be found by which this style of shoe can be induced not to stretch almost immediately,so that with the great- est difficulty only can it ke kept on the foot, then perhaps it may remain in vogue, otherwise there is great and immediate dan- ger of it heing relegated again to its proper place—that of an evening slipper. Patent leather for the time being, at any rate, has given up its place to snede for an evening slipper. Bronzeslippers and stock- ings are intensely smart again, and there is no slipper so attractive. Slippers with two, thre and four straps are now appear- ing, and in all styles from kid to satin strapped slippers are already more popular than pumps. For the street silk stockings are quite unnecessary, but with the reception dress either the finest lisle thread or else the silk hose should be worn. Silk stockings are now so inexpensive as to be within the reach of almost everyone; and particularly in the variety known as spun silk— which are quite as attractive as silk and wear better—wonderful bargains are to be had. ‘SPINACH. Spinach has received from one writer upon Dietetics the sobriquet of ‘The Broom of the Human System.’”” Its virtues are manifold. It contains alterative and tonic salts, and besides being gently laxative, acts—also gently—as a nerve sedative. In cooking it, never add water. Wash care- fully, picking out decayed leaves, clipping off the stems and keeping a sharp lookout for sand and gravel. | . SPINACH A LA CREME. Pick over and wash the spinach. After soaking in the fourth water, put the leaves, with the moisture still clinging to them, into the inner boiler of a farina kettle and cover closely. The moisture on the leaves and the juice on the vegetable will form enough liquor to prevent scorching. Cook for twenty minutes, stirring well several times through the process. Sprinkle with salt and turn into a colander to drain. Press out the liquid, turn the spinach into the chopping bowl and chop as fine as possible. Cook together ina saucepan one tablespoonful of flour and two of buster, and, when they are blend- ed pour the spinach upon them. Season and cook for several minutes, stirring con- stantly. Pour upon the spinach a small cupful of cream in which a pinch of soda has been dissolved, and cook three minutes longer, still stirring. Now add pepper and salt to taste, and a pinch of nutmeg, and beat hard for three minutes. Serve smok- ing hot, garnished with small triangles of toast. PLAIN BOILED SPINACH. Wash the leaves, put into the inner ves- sel of a double boiler, with hot water in the outer. Cover closely and cook tender. Drain and press in a colander; orop fine, or ran through your vegetable press; return to the saucepan, stir in a great spoonful of butter, the juice of half a lemon and a half- teaspoonful of sugar. Beat and stir until smoking hot, dish and garnish with hard- boiled egg. Cut the white into strips, lay at the base of the moulded spinach, and cover the top with the powdered yolks. SPINACH IN MOULDS, Boil the spinach, press out every drop of water and chop fine. Cook together in a saucepan a tablespoonful of butter and two of flour. Add the spinach with pepper and salt to taste; cook for five minutes. Butter the insides of muffin-tins or pate- pans and press the spinach hard into these. Set in the oven to keep hot while you make a white sance. Carefully turn out the forms of spinach on a hot plaster, lay a slice of hard-boiled egg on the top of each form and pour the white sance around 6.
