FARM NOTES.
—I weeds are annual they will die ont
if not allowed to produceseeds. If they
are perennials keep them cut down, so as
nos to permit them to produce leaves.
—To water plants during dry weather
make several holes with a dipper,use water
liberally, sc as to allow it to soak to the
roots, and then cover with dry dirt to pre-
vent evaporation.
—When the old strawberry beds are out
of use plow them under for late cabbage or
turnips. If preferred the land may remain
for a garden plot next spring, but if such
is preferred the bed must be mowed to pre-
vents weeds from going to seed. Late in
the fall cover the beds with manure and
plow the plot next spring.
—Some farmers multiply the insects and
assist them by growing one kind of crop
on the same land every year. Each crop
has its special enemies, and many insects
remain in the ground over winter feeding
on the crops best adapted for their propa-
gation. By changing the crops the liability
of damage by insects will be greatly les-
sened.
— Inferior seed is not cheap at any price.
Do not be tempted to pay high prices for
some new variety of which yon know noth-
ing. Every year there are wonderful yields
given of new varieties, of which nothing is
mentioned the next season. Get the best
to be had, but do not venture too deeply
on things that are new.
—Japan clover is not equal to the com-
mon red clover; but it will grow on poorer
soils. It is excellent in pastures, prefers a
clay soil,and is said to thrive even on naked
soils which contain but little humus. It
has more ash when consumed than red
clover, and contains more nitrogenous mat-
ter, but is deficient in potash and phos-
phoric acid compared with red clover.
§3—Orchard grass does well in the shade,
compared with some varieties, and is one
of the best to sow with blue grass in or-
chards or woodlands. It grows rapidly
and loxuriantly, beginning early in the
season and remaining until late in the fall.
It has a tendency to ‘‘stool;’” but, never-
theless, in nutritious material i is equal
to many varieties more generally used.
—Carrant bushes should be sprayed with
white hellebore, in order to destroy the
currant worm. As hellebore is a poison,
some growers object to it. It is claimed
that if wood ashes are dusted over the
bushes, first spraying with cold water, the
worms will be destroyed. It is at least
harmless, and is worthy a test trial by
those baving currant bushes.
—Cuocumbers, squashes and melons pre-
fer a rich soil and an abundance of well-
rotted manure. Old sawdust or rotten
wood mixed with the manure is said to be
serviceable. It will be an advantage to
allow onoumbers to grow on stakes or
bushes the same as peas. Tomatoes may
also be fastened an stakes. One of the best
plans is to grow cucumbers along a fence
if the location is not too shady.
—After the onions are planted they are
liable to he neglected. Being early plans-
ed they get a good start, and are then made
to wait until the other crops are seeded
down. The onion is hardy and seldom
fails on good soil, but no crop is more
easily injured by grass and weeds. It is
less difficult to keep them clean if a rake is
used between the rows and the top soil
kept loose, which keeps down the young
weeds.
—More pigs are lost in the summer sea-
son from improper feeding than from any
other cause. They are compelled to con-
sume foods that are not conducive to thrift,
and which lead to disease in the herds.
Some feeders keep slop in barrels, which
ferments until sour, kaving a very disagree-
able odor, the pigs being fed largely upon
the slop. This kind of food is more in-
jurious in summer than in winter, as it
indaces bowel disease. The best slop is
milk and bran, freshly made, with grass,
vegetables and plenty of pure water, all of
which will induce growth and keep the
pigs in good condition.
—The cheapest article produced on the
farm is butter, if the labor is omitted, as
butter takes little or nothing from the soil.
All carbonaceous compounds derive their
carbon from the air through the agency of
the leaves of plants, but the nitrogen and
mineral matter are derived principally
through the agency of the roots. As the
roots derive their nourishment from the
soil, they take from the soil that
which is given up to the plants,
whether in the stalks or seeds; but the fats,
starch and sugar are compounds that are
formed by the leaves absorbing carbon
from the atmosphere, which united with
oxygen in the proper proportions necessary
for the production of the many forme of
carbon in plants.
—Oae of the best modes of reducing the
labor required in the destruction of weeds
is to destroy them when they are just ap-
pearing above ground. For a large field
- the weeder is the best improvement, but
for a garden there is no tool superior to the
old-time garden rake. If the surface of the
soil is given a good raking after each rain
there will be no weeds, as the rake keeps
the top soil loose. A rake allows of per-
forming considerable work between rows
compared with using a hoe, and when the
weeds are high enough to demand hoeing
them the work is more difficult and tedi-
ous. The priucipal injury done by weeds
is that they rob the growing orop of moist-
are and plant foods. Weeds are gross
feeders and they soon take possession of
the soil. The rake will keep them down
with the least labor and expense.
—The dairy business is one that is open
to any enterprising farmer who will make
it a point to deviate from the methods now
practiced on some farms. A visit to many
dairy farms will disclose the fact that but
little regard is given to matters that are
essential to securing light prices. Cleanli-
ness in the stable is more important than
cleanliness in the dairy. Cows are fre-
quently milked with their bodies covered
with manure, and even the teats and ud-
ders are often filthy. Milking is donein a
hurry, and it goes to market containing
filth in a soluble form, which the strainer
cannot remove. All dairy farms are not
conducted in such slovenly manner, bat
there are hundreds of dairy farms upon
which thorough cleanliness is lacking.
Each cow should be kept olean, her hide
brushed, udder washed and the stalls made
clean. There should be no filth in the sta-
ble, and the bands of the milkers shonld
be washed clean before beginning the work
of milking.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. -
A DAILY THOUGHT.
No one is vseless in the world who lightens
he burden of it for anyone else.
To Clean Paint Brushes, —Brushes used
for oil paints should be rinsed in
linseed oil to remove excess of pigmen and
then washed in warm, soapy water, rinsed
in cold water and wiped dry.
To Clean Combs.—Never wash. Clean
with a stiff brush, such as is sold for the
purpose, and wipe with a soft cloth. The
coarse teeth may he cleaned by drawing
them over a stretched string.
‘To Revive Patent Leather.—Rub
with a linen rag soaked with olive oil or
milk. Polish with a dry, soft duster.
Cream and linseed oil in equal parts are a
good polish for patent leather boots.
To Wash Woolens.—Dissolve one-half
pound of white soap in two gallons of
warm (not hot) water. Rinse the articles
in this, drawing them throngh the ' hand,
but not rabbing them. Wash ous soap in
two changes of tepid water, wring well,
dry quickly in the open air and iron when
nearly dry.
To Remove Mildew From Linen.—
Soap well and rub the spots with pow-
dered whiting. Rinse and dry in the sun.
Repeat if necessary.
To Take Oat Stains in Linen.—Linen
stained with wine or fruit juice may be
cleaned by holding the stained part in
boiling milk.
To Renovate Black Lace. —Wash in beer,
beat between the folds of a linen cloth and
when nearly dry iron with a cool iron.
To Wash White Lace.—Immerse ina
lather of white soap in hot water, press
and move about, but do not rinse, in two
changes of cold water. Dab between the
folds of a linen cloth and pin out to dry
on a board covered with a linen cloth.
To Restore Gloves.—Clean on a form or
on the hand with benzoline applied with
a sponge. Another plan is to rub with a
soaped rag wetted with milk.
To Clean Straw Hats.—White straw hats
which have become discolored should be
washed with warm soap and water, rinsed
well in cold water and then wetted well
with a cold solution of salts of lemon.
To Revive Ostrich Feathers.—Make a
lather of white soap in hot water. Im-
merse the feathers, stroking them with the
fingers from the base to tip for five min-
utes. Rinse in clean, hot water and shake
till dry.
To Renovate Furs.—Remove all linings.
Lay flat and brush well. Then rubinto
the fur some bran which has been previ-
ously warmed. Shake and again brush.
White furs may be treated similarly, but
the bran used should be damp for the first
application.
To Clean Gray or White Hair.—Rub be-
tween perfectly clean hands with fine oat-
meal, using several change’. Brush well
afterward.
To Remove Grease Stains From Cloth.—
Grease may be removed from cloth and
velvet with benzoline, applied plentifally,
and rubbed well in, several thicknesses of
blotting paper being placed beneath the
part treated.
TREATMENT OF HAIR
At least once a day, perferably when ar-
ranging the hair for the night, massage the
scalp gently, using the finger tips. Do
not, on any account, irritate the scalp by
the use of comb, brash or a too heavy
massage. The brush and comb are only
for the hair. Using only the finger tips,
rub all over the scalp, up and down, baok-
ward and forward, and also with a circular
motion. Some specialists recommend
keeping the scalp loose by pushing it on
the skull, with the band flat to the head.
Dry bair is improved by being brushed in
long, even strokes every night. Hair that
is natarally oily needs only frequent wash-
ing to keep the silken texture that we all
admire.
If the hair is split at the ends clipping
is all that is necessary. The theory that
hair bleeds when it is cut bas been some-
what discredited of late, and singeing,
therefore, becomes not a necessity, though
probably a healthy process. Run the hair
in small strands through the fingers, and
whenever a split end is apparent olip is off
immediately above the break, and the
matter is ended.
The health of bair that is naturally
straight is not{improved hy artificial means
of curling, crimping or waving. Curling
and straight hair differ in their internal
structnre, and the attempt to coerce the
latter is often followed by a weakness.
When the hair is to be curled, however,
wrap it around small rolls made of silk.
Never use curling irons, kids or other
such appliances.
These rules are simplein the extreme,
and their application (application that is
not spasmodic but week in and week out)
insures beautiful hair, provided, of course,
there is no antecedent disease, in which
case a specialist should be consulted.
How to Select The Hat For Easter.—
Now while there are no set rules to gov-
ern the choice in hat buying, judgment in
individual selection willsometimes do won-
ders in the way of tempering the unkind
treatment which nature may have accorded
one’s face.
The woman who hassharp and prominent
features, for instance, should never wear
hats that are set back or off the face. Such
a woman will do well to do her hairin as
fluffy an arrangement as possible, and ber
hat should be of a shape which may be worn
well forward. The same kind of has should
be adopted by the woman whose hair is
scant in front and who refuses to augment
her tresses with a ‘‘traneformation’” or
‘‘pompadour.” A becoming veil will help
out wonderfully in these two cases. Sharp
outlines in hats should be carefully avoided
by a woman whose features are big, and
usually she will be able to wear lace edges
and indented brims becomingly.
It the hair is very heavy a larger hat
may be worn than when itis thin and
sparse.
The woman with irregular features, also,
must beware of choosing her head-gear
without a very nice regard to its angle
from every point in the mirror.
A hat with brim crushed to suit her face
will be a suitable setting, and often in try-
ing on a hat its unbecomingness may be
altered by simply bending the brim here
and there after it is adjusted.
Alas for the woman with a prominent
nose! Here is the worst of troubles with
which to contend in hat choosing.
Many a charming shape which she
covets must be laid by in favor of another
of more friendly contour. Her hats must
avoid severe outline, and must be worn
well forward, so that the prominent feat-
ure will seem proportionately insignificant.
She, too, must look at her headgear
from every mirrored’ point and angle, to
see that no one side is too frankly unkind
in showing ap her defeot.
Soldiers Leprous.
. Sargeant T. J. McPherson, of Troop I,
Eleventh United States cavalry in the
Philippine islands, stopped at Marion,
Ohio, on Tuesday, April 4th, to have his
wounds dressed, on his way from San
Francisco to Boston.
Sargeant MoPherson says there are 835
cases of leprosy among American soldiers
in North Luzon alone and these soldiers
will never be allowed to return to their
native country. Sargeant McPherson was
the only man of an entire troop to escape
an onslanght of Philippine natives. He
was left for dead, baving been wounded
six times.

RE? THESE REMARKABLE LET-
TERS :
OF WELL KNOWN PEOPLE AND PEOPLE
WHOM YOU KNOW WELL—“RIVAL
HERB TABLETS” DID THE WORK.
Everybody in Williamsport knows Mrs.Priscilla
Hafer; she drove a milk wagon from Bottle Run
to Williamsport for fifteen years. :
“Mr. Arthur Ward—I had rheumatism, stom-
ach and liver troubles, with. terrible sick head-
aches and stomach cramps. Rival Herb Tablets
cured me. Mrs, Priscilla Hafer, Bottle Run,
Lycoming county, Pa.”
Certainly you know Mr. G. W. Coder, the res-
taurant man in Williamsport.
“Mr. Arthur Ward—I had a very bad case of
stomach and liver troubble and a severe break-
ing out on my face. Rival Herb Tablets cured
me. G.W. Coder, 789 East Third street.”
Mr. Gilbert who did live in Williamsport, but
now has a harness store at Salladasburg, says:
“Mr. Arthur Ward—I had catarrh and stomach
troubles. Rival Herb Tablets, cured me. Mr.
Gilbert, Salladasburg, Pa.
Then there is J. C. Harsch, Williamspert, who
says: “Mr. Arthur Ward—I was a terrible sufferer
with rheumatism and stomach trouble and Rival
Herb Tablets cured me. J. C. Harsch, 725 Wilson
street.”
Mrs. Kate Kendrick, who has kept a boardin
house in Williamsport for many years, suffere:
for a long time with stomach, liver and kidney
troubles, she says: “Mr Arthur Ward—Riyal
Herb Tablets cured me. Mrs. Kate Kendrick,
850 Market street.”
The cure of Mrs. John M. Edwards, Muncy,
Pa., is certainly very remarkable. She suffer-
ed for many years with stomach, liver and ner-
vous troubles. Her husband says: “Mr. Arthur
Ward—Rival Herb Tablets cured my wife and
saved many hundreds of dollars. John M. Ed-
wards, Muncy, Pa.
Hundreds of just such testimonials could be
given if space permitted, of cured Pennsylvania
people. Twi give $100 spot cash if upon inves-
tigation you find any of the above names to be
fictitious or the statement to be untrue. These
people have now been cured for nearly a year,
with no return of their troubles. Anyone desir-
ing a box of these tablets,they cost $1.00 a box and
one box does the work, can get them from E. T.
Roan, grocer, Bishop street, and R. S. Brouse, gro-
cer, High street Bellefonte, Pa.,or from ARTHUR
WARD, STATE Agent, 16 W. Market street, William-
sport, Pa. They are not sold in drug stores.
