FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
McCalmont & Co.
Bellefonte, Pa., April 21, 1905.
—Rose bushes should be worked with a
hoe, simply stirring the top soil, keeping
them free of grass and weeds,and not work-
ing the ground deep.
—The peach tree is renewed quickly by
severe cutting back. It has happeued thas,
when a tree was apparently dead, outting
away the old wood and allowing new bunds
to grow, made almost a new fiee in a year
or two.
.—The small onions sold in glass jars are
grown by sowing the seed in rows as thick
as possible. The object is to prevent
the onions from reachivg large size. Foran
ordinary orop of large onions the seed
is used sparingly.
—The animals of the farm are the ons-
tomers of the farmer. They are ready to
take all that he will supply them, of any
kind of prodace, for which they not only
pay him the highest prices, but also inter-
est on the investment.
—1I¢ is a fact that the farmer is prosper-
ous when he combines with his farming
the manufacture of pork and beef. The
oorn, grass, hay and fodder are his raw
materials. The pork and beef and wool
are his tinished product.
—String beans can be obtained during
the entire summer by planting once a
month for successive supplies. The seed
germinates quickly in warm weather, and
the plants grow rapidly. They can also be
extensively grown for pickling.
—A grapevine arbor is considered an ex-
cellent place for the beehive, as it proteots
against the sun in summer, but should be
thick enough to serveasa wind-break in
winter. Io very cold climates the hives
should be placed in she cellar.
—Thbe Mammoth Sweet and Stowell’s
Evergreen corn are both good varieties for
the sable. Sweet corn and peas have oue
peculiarity, which is that the more wrin-
kled the seed the more palatable the corn
when placed on the table alter pro-
duction.
—The two principal troubles with the
plaom are the black knot and the ourcnlio.
Neither of them need be formidable. The
black knot may be prevented, or cured, by
promptly cutting off all affected branches
on its first appearance and burning them.
—Waork in the garden is very pleasant in
the spring, as the weather is then cool and
the ground not very dry and hard. Ladies
who make a specialty of flowers or early
vegetables will find the out-of-door work
very beneficial. The children should have
a little plot for their own use as a means of
enjoyment.
—Gardens should be ornamental as well
as useful, bat especially should she soil of
the garden be very rich. There will be no
danger from using too much manure in the
garden if it is applied as this season of the
year. The soil of the garden should be
fine, hence it will be an advantage to plow
the garden early.
—Under favorable circumstances four
toons of clover hay should be taken from an
acre. Some farmers report as many as
five tons, but such yields are not ofsen ob-
tained. The nee of potash, lime and ma-
pure will accomplish much with clover.
Many farmers are satisfied with two tone
per acre, but the object should be to make
the land produce more every year.
In order to quickly decompose manure
some farmers use lime 1n the heap, which
soon reduces the heap, bus with the lia-
bility of loss of ammonia. If lime is ueed,
and the heap is kept damp with soap-suds
or water, there will not be so great a loss
of ammonia'as when the massis dry and
heats rapidly. It is not a good pian, how-
ever, to nee lime in the heap at any
time. \
There are few seedsmen who have the
land to spare to grow all the seeds they re-
quire. At the same time they cannot pur-
chase seeds in the open market that they
know will be pure and without admixture
of other varieties. Hence they are glad to
furnish seed for planting or sowing to some
ene who will keep it free from mixing with.
other kinds, for which pure seed they can
and do pay more thap the average market
price. :
~=Qats and peas for green food may be
seeded together. It is better to cut them
near maturity than when too green. Daily
cuttings are preferred, but to do such work
must begin before they reach the best,
stage. Farmers who have grown them for
hogs turn the hogs ‘it. after the pods are
filled, and give them control, but there is
some waste from trampling. The crop can
be mowed and cured, stowed under shelter
and fed as desired, but the cutting must
not be deferred too late, as the green con-
dition is preferred.
“—In dressing poultry Americans bave
considerable to learn from the French.
Nos only do the French poulterers carefully
feed the fowls so as to get a plump carcass
bat they whiten and mold and manipulate
the fowl, after killing, until it looks al-
most good enough to be eaten without
farther preparations. American markets
might not yet appreciate so much care and
attention bestowed to the appearance of
dressed fowls, but it is well known that
carcasses prepared with the greatest care
by American methods always bring the
highest prices.
—The question of how to cut seed pota-
toes, or how to economize in the use of
seed, has been discussed for many years,
and opinions differ. It is conceded, how-
ever, that whole potatoes, or large pieces,
are better than those that are small, but
growers make the mistake of cutting the
seed into small pieces in order to allow the
pieces to plant more space; but where they
save in see they lose more than its value
in reduced crop. Now that the period for
planting potatoes is near it wonld be prof-
itable for each farmer to test the matter
for himeelf by cutting a quart or peck of
seed into several sizes and compare the
results.
—The Maine station reports that she in-
feotion of the potatoes with the fungus
which produces rot occurs chiefly, if not
entirely, in the field before digging; that
the infeotion is usually the result of dis-
eased vines, and that in tlie majority of
cases the disease is not transmitted direct-
ly from the vine, but indirectly through
the soil. Potatoes may be infected indi-
rectly in the field from spores introduced
in the land the preceding year. The \ex-
periments at the station agree with those
at the Vermont Station in showing that
where the vines have, or have not, been
protected with Bordeaux mixture, there is
far less liability of loss from rotting in the
cellar in the case of the late-dug than of
early-dug potatoes. y
A DAILY THOUGHT.
“A fault which humbles us is of more use than
a good action which puffs us up with pride.”
Pretsy Lingerie Made at Home.—Nowa-
day 3 band-made noderwear is much covet-
ed by women who value really dainty gar-
mente. The presents style of trimming
lingerie makes it possible for the defs-
fingered needlewoman to provide for her-
self she pretsiess underwaists, skirts and
gowns at comparatively small cost. Lace
insertion is used on every garment. Un-
derwaists are laid in fine sucke at the waist
live, an imprcvement on the old seamed
fashion. Tacks are permissible, too, be-
canse nowadays women have eschewed
thick, unwieldly maslin in favor of light
cambric or nainsook, so thas tucking does
not perceptibly increase the bulkiness of a
garment, while is adds greatly to its trim-
ming.
aly pretty design for an underwaist
is tucked from the bust to the waist, the
decolletage being outlined with circular
motifs of embroidery through which nar-
row wash ribbon is drawn.
Another pretty waist which might be
copied at home, and the fashioning of
which would help fill out the idle summer
days, is of bands of insertion joined by
beading of the same, through which baby
ribbon is drawn. :
These are very easily made on a ma-
chine, and when Jace is bought by the
piece the cost is trifling. When made by
machine cut the pattern from stiff brown
paper. Stitch down on this the alternate
bands of lace and beading, not cutting off
any until each row is sewed. In this way
not a sorap of material is lost, as the ont-
line constantly foliows the pattern. When
the piece is finished" the paper can be torn
out as one separates postage stamps, for the
needle going through forms lines of per-
forations. When made by hand the bands
muss, of course, be sewn over and over.
The neck and armholes are finished with
lace edging and the garment fastens with
the tied ends and loop of the baby ribbon,
forming a number of dainty bows in front.
Fine nainsook garments may be bought an-
trimmed and decorated at home with
motifs of lace and strips of insertion, the
undermaterial being cus out to add to the
other effect.
Many sets of French underwear, says
the New York Telegram, are seen in
sheerest silk batiste and mouseeline.
These, foo, may be copied at home ata
great saving. All these band-made gar-
ments fetoh good prices in the shops, for
much labor is expended upon them and
the materials are very fine. They are
worth the time spent in their making,
however, if one has it to give, and some
summer days spent in designing and sew-
ing dainty sets of lingerie will bring most
satisfactory returns.
Listle Things Well to Remember.—In-
vitationsto a 5 o’clock tea may be issued
on the visiting card.
When addressing a letter to a married
woman the husband’s Christian name or
his initials are need in preference to those
of bis wife. ‘Mrs. Lawrence Samnels’’ or
“Mrs. L. J. Samuels’’ is the proper form.
The small butter plates or butter patties
once used have been replaced by the bread
and butter plates about the size ofa
saucer and are placed at the left of the
plate. Small individual butter knives are
also placed at each plate on all well ap-
pointed tables.
At a church wedding two ushers at least
are necessary. They receive their in-
structions from the bride’s mother and are
given a list of those fiiends and relatives
for whom seats are reserved. They meet
the bridal party at the church door and
precede them to the altar.
In reply tooards left before or after a
faneral the head of the bereaved family
may send a black-bordered card, upon
which ‘‘With thanks for your kind ex-
pressions of sympathy is written. Letters
of condolence should be answered in kind,
bus several weeks may elapse before they
are answered.
No Use to Whine.—There isn’t anything
in the world more disagreeable than a whin-
ning person. He whines ifit is hot. He
whines if it is cold. He whines as this, he
whines at thas, he whines at everything.
Whine, whine, whine. It is just a habit
he has fallen into. There is nothing the
matter with him. It is just a bad habit.
The whiner is generally an idle person
or a lazy one... What he needs is $0 ses to
work—at real bard work, mental or
al. Some woik that will interest bim and
engage his whole attention, and he will
not have time to whine. We know two
women. One of them does her own house-
work and takes care of her horse besides.
She is happy and singing all the day long.
The keyboard of her ' life sounds no whin-
ing note. It is a pleasure to be with her;
a good wholesome tonic to watch her.
The other woman is so situated thas she
does not have to work. Nothing to do bus
to amuse herself. She has no zest in life,
no interest in anything. She is a bunch
of selfishuess, and whines at everything,
Whining bas become such a habit with her
that her most casual remark is tinged with
a whine. She is miserable herself, and
makes everybody else in her presence mis-
erable. Sheisa weakling, a parasite, a drag,
a heavy weight on somebody all the time.
Get the whine out of your voice or it
will stop the development and growth of
your body. It will narrow and shrink
our mind. It will drive away your
riends; it will make you unpopular.
Quis your whining: brace up; go to work;
be something; stand for something; fill
your place in the universe. Instead of
whining around, exciting only pity and
contempt, face about and make something
of yourself. Reach up to the stature of a
strong, ennobling manhood, to the beauty
and strength of a superb womanhood.
There is nothing the matter with you.
Just guit your whining and go to work.—

Colored stookings—silk and otherwise—
require a gocd deal more care in the
laundering than the usual black. And
colored stockings are promised very defi-
pitely tobe used during the spring and
summer seasons. Tan shoes are to be
good again this year, and nothing is so
shabby looking as faded tan stockings,
even though they may fade the first time
they are washed. :
Tan rilk stockings are extremely pretty,
although most of us content ourselves ‘with
lisle thread: and red slippers demand red
silk stockings; but both of these colors will
*‘run”’ a little unless you're very carefal.
Flower pine with fancy heads of gold or
gold and precious stones are a convenient
device for fastening flowers to the dress.
More dignified in effect than the delicate
chains de la rein, or necklace, are the
strikingly beautiful collars in which bars
of large stones connect strands, network or
elaborate designs of small stones closely set.

The Newspaper Man’s Picture of the
‘ Great Russian General.
McGahan was the correspondent who
first described to Europe the Bulga-
rian atrocities, What a brilliant crea-
ture he was, with his steel hue eyes,
his face as delicately chiseled as
though it were of marble, his lithe,
light frame and that suggestion of ab-
solute courage, iron resolve, under-
neath the almost feminine tininess of
the features. He was one of the in-
timates of Scobeleff—indeed, the men
were so attached to each other that
Bcobeleff nearly always insisted that
McGahan should share his tent with
him, and McGahan was in the tent of
Scobeleff the night after the disas-
trous assault on Plevna. Scobeleff
was, sald McGahan, a wonderful pic-
ture of the horrors and terrors of war.
His face was black with powder, his
uniform was in rags, and his sword
was twisted like a corkscrew. It is
evident from this description that Sco-
beleff took part with his own hand in
some of the work of the day. There
was a sequel, by the way, to this pic-
ture. I am not quite sure whether
McGahan published it, but he told it
to me. Scobeleff was always a dandy.
Even in leading a charge he was dress-
ed with dandical precision. In the
middle of the night McGajpan was
woke up, and he saw Scobeleff dress-
ing himself with great care, putting
on a new uniform and even perfuming
his hair and clothes. And then came
another transformation. Scobeleff, his
