Bellefonte, Pa., May 12, 1905. FARM NOTES. —After the tomato plants have made progress in the open air apply fertilizer, broadcasting at the rate of 200 pounds per acre. —Soot is a valuable fertilizer for the farm, garden and flower bed. Over 50,000 tons are annually taken from the chimneys of London and applied to this purpose. " —It is estimated that when an ordinary crop of clover is mowed there is lefé in the soil about $15 worth of plant food, per acre, from the roots and stubble of the clover. - ; —Keep a close watch for borers at the surface of the ground and all along the trunk and large limbs. If any traces of them are found, or any dead bark is seen, cut away with a knife. Dig out the worms or punch them to death with wire. —The aphis, or green fly, is sometimes very abundant on the young shoots of roses during the early part of summer. They are not always damaging, and sometimes dis- appear as riysteriously as they come. A water decoction of tobacco leaves or stems sprinkled over the bushes will destroy them. —As soon as the early cabbages begin to make headway they will be attacked by the white butterfly. Some growers use Paris green as a remedy, but it is a dan- gerous article in the hands of inexperienced persons for such a purpose. The safest remedy is to mix a pound of the ground leaves of pyrethrum (insect powder) with 100 gallons of water, and sprinkle from a watering pot. It kills every worm with which it comes in contact. —The tent caterpillars will soon be play- ing havoc with fruit trees. Fortunately, they are easily disposed of. They return to the tent at night, and in the early morn- ing, before the sun warms them up, isis easy to pull the tent and its sleeping mil- lions out of the crotch of the limb where it is pitched, and drop them into a can of kerosene or mash them under foot. Take care thas the last one of the vermin is dead before leaving the tree. —Sow plenty of peas, but do not sow too large a crop at one time. An interval of two weeks will bring them in succession, thus permitting of their being placed on the table during nearly the entire season, Should one prefer to sow a large area af one seeding, use the dwarfs for the first crop and the tall varieties for the second. The catalogues of the seedsmen will enable you to select varieties that mature at times which bring them somewhat in a regular order of succession. —The depth of planting seeds should be governed by the character of the soil. If light and dry, the seeds should be planted deep and covered so as to leave the plants, when they come up, at least two inches below the surrounding level, and the first hoeing time leveled up, and kept level dur- ing the season; thus the hills are made be- low ground and the plants are kept from drying up. If the land be heavy and wet the seeds should be planted near the sur- face, and not covered very deep; and at hoeing time slightly hilled. —There are two important advantages which farmers have in market gardening. They bave cheaper land, which they can manure in large part from their old stables and yarde. The second is that if near enough to a city or village they can sell directly to consumers, and thus get hetter prices than can the commercial gardener, who is obliged largely to sell his produce to middlemen at a very small margin of profit. —The grayish-black squash bug is diffi- cult to manage. Gathering the eggs and the old bugs in the spring is laborious bus sure if thoroughly done. The bugs will crawl under pieces of board laid among the vines, and may be gathered and caught. The use of poisons will do no good in case of the bugs, as they do not eat the leaves, bus pass their beaks through the outside of the leaf tosuck the juices, and do not ges any of the poison. Pyrethrnm does not kill these destroyers. —The grape vine consumes, at an aver- age, the following elements : Nitrogen, 8 grammes; phosphoric acid, 2 grammes; pos- ash, 5 grammes; lime, 11 grammes; mag- nesia, 2 grammes. These figures are of in- terest, inasmuch as calculations about the capacity of a certain soil to supply these matters can be based upon them, and where, in the composition of a soil, one or the other be present in too poor a propor- tion, the manure containing them should be chosen for restocking the soil with the same. —1I¢ is claimed that ripe peaches may be secured two weeks earlier by the following method : In the middle of the growing season put a wire around a large arm of the tree and twist it fairly tight. This checks the flow of sap and causes fruit buds to form earlier, and in great number. The fruit on the branches of this arm will ripen two weeks earlier than that on the untreas- ed branches, and will be mush more high- ly-colored. But as this part of the tree will beso weakened by the treatment it should be cut away after the fruiting, that new shoots may come and take its place. Thus one large arm or limb of a tree may be forced each year. —An excellent mode of growing cucam- bers is to spade a good piece of garden soil, and make a circular mound about eight feet in diameter and ten inches higher in the centre than at the outside. In the centre of the mound sink an old leaky barrel, and fill it two-thirds fall with barnyard ma- nure, with some hen manure mixed in. Pour the wash water from the house into the barrel and let it leak through into the ground. Plant the cucumber seed in a ring, about six inches from the barrel; watch for the bugs and desiroy them by the usnal method. Supply the water often enough to keep the ground moist, to pro- mote a rapid growth, but not too wet. —Horseradish is extensively grown by market gardeners near large cities. It re- quires a very rich, deep, rather moist soil, and is raised from sets : that is, thin pieces of root, the trimmings of the previous year’s orop, cut into pieces of four to six inches of length. The land should be well worked before planting, which has to be done in early spring. In field cnltare the sets are planted in rows about three feet apart and 18 inches in the rows. The planting is done by simply making a hole with a pointed stiok, dropping she set so that it is about three inches below the sur- face, and then pressing it firmly with the foot. During the first month or two the ground must be kept well cultivated and clean; later the leaves cover the entire ground go as to make ocnltivation unneo- FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. A DAILY THOUGHT. Good qualities are the substantial riches of the to advantage.— e. Yokes playa most important part in dress styles this spring, from the tiniest of all, which are practically an extension of the collar, to elaborate deep yokes, and te chemisettes and tuckers and guimpes of every sorf. Even so small a part of dress as the yoke is demanding a great deal of atten- tion, for the point of dress most em- phasizel to-day is individuality, and in- dividunality often can be more definitely marked by attention to the smaller details than to a general effect. Wonderful ready-made yokes (and deep cufis to match) come, which, like robe- dresses, are ‘‘half the making”’ of a blouse, yoke that can be appliqued on toa plain blouse the material beneath cut away and the plain blouse transformed into as rich a blouse as you could wish. And chemisettes and tuckes and guimipes are worn with every sort of gown—almoss. Surplice styles, which have invaded suit and dress worlds alike, have brought ous a host of listle lingerie separate yokes, which give the becoming note of white at the throat. It’s almost like a farther de- velopment of the deep ruchings that lass fall created. They're easy to make, and when yon make your own you're apt to get an original little touch on itsome- where, which enhances its value of indi- viduality greatly. Make them on paper, cutting a pattern (from your shirt-waist pattern) the exaot shape you want your yoke to be, and fthen baste your materials directly on the paper, tearing it away when your yoke is finished. This will keep it perfectly in shape, as delicate laces and sheer materials stretch and pull into all sorts of ugly puckers un- less they are *‘stayed’’ in the working. Exquisite all-over embroideries and em- broideries combined with lace insertion come, some of them so delicately put to- gether that they have the effect of hand- work. And they have one advantage over hand work in the saving of time. Guimpes and chemisettes alike are best made on a foundation something like a sleeveless blouse that fits into a belt at the waist, although a great many chemisettes are just the little shield-shaped bit and choker. But the close belt holds the whole thing in place and keeps the tucker from riding up. And lawn makes the best foundations. Those little pointed yokes, with collar and all made of row after row of narrow insertion, mitred directly in front, and sometimes again on the shoulders, are wonderfully pretty. Set in a blouse which is embroidered in motifs down the fron, it is just enough laciness to: bring ous the embroidery in its daintiest way. Some of them are the sheerest of blind embroidery, and some a heavy sort thas is more like a heavy lace, and some are made of two laces—a heavy and a lighs. Fo: there’sa wide latitude in combina- tions, and heavy and light things com- bined is the most decided innovation of the year in the trimming line. Plain tucks—hand-run, preferably—al- ternasing with the finest and daintiest of baby-briar stitching, done in soft embroid- ery cotton, make up the simplest sort of yokes, whioh are easily laundered, and suit the shirt-waist guit type of dress ad- mirably. Puffings, alternating with rows of in- sertion—Ilace or embroidery —are, perhaps, next simplest, and launder almost as well, by pulling out the puffs and ironing them with a crease in the middle. A trick of the needle which is new this year is the embroidering of lace—taking a pattern that is just dots, and embroider- ing them over and over with mercerized cotton. The insertion is whipped to the material, so that a heavily embroidered line of the cotton runs down each side. Two strips of wide edging are set to- gether on another yoke, the points facing over a row of tiny tucks; on still another, motifs of embroidery are outlined with narrow lace and joined together in odd, OFi final ways, and lace bits are put to- ether in every conceivable way, from oting to appliqueing. A fluffy arrangement of narrow valen- ciennes lace is made by basting row after row of insertion on your paper pattern to form the yoke, fulling np the thread in the upper side of the insertion until it is drawn in to the circular shape. Then edge every other row with a full frill of the edging, leaving the collar plain, with the frille for a ruching. Heavy linen embroidered with scallops and dots is combined with heavy linen lace. But however they are made, this spring and summer will see hosts of them, es- pecially with the surplice styles. To Preserve Steel From Rusting.— Bright steel articles, which have to be kept stored away, may be kept from rust- ing hy coating them with a mixture of black-lead and lard. They should be wrapped in woolen cloth, if at all—never in cotton. To Prevent Chimneys Breaking.—Put the new chimneys in a large saucepan of cold water and bring slowly to the boil. Then set aside till the water is quite cool again. This ie a simple process of ‘‘an- nealing,” and it is very effective. ' A Useful Adhesive Paste.—Mix wheas- en-flonr with cold water to a thin creamy consistency. Heat in an enamel saucepan till the mixture thickens, stirring the whole time. Then add, and well stir in 30 drops of oil of cloves to the half-pint of original mixture. When cold remove the hardened surface and bottle. keeps indefinitely. This paste To Prepare Glue.—Break into small pieces and put into a pot with enough cold water to cover it, and leave for 24 hours. By this time the glue will have absorbed all the water.” Put the pot ina saucepan, with water sufficient to reach two-thirds of its height outside, and boil till the glue is melted. To Stain a Floor.—Varnish stains lie on the surface and soon wear off. A simple stain may be made by coloring linseed oil with ground burned umber. Rub well in- to the boards with a flannel pad. This stain goes right into the wood, and is therefore very durable. 5 To Stop a Gas Lea. <-J 00alizs the leak y applying strong soapsuds to the sus- pected eh The leak will show b ubbles forming. It may then be stop ‘by pressing a small piece of bard roap on the place. If much gas has escaped open the window and don’t use a light. To Remove Smell of New Paint.—Shal- low pans of water stood in the room will absorb turpentine and other volatile vapors given off by the paint. Another method is to burn juniper berries in an open vessel of lighted charcoal. mind; but it is good breeding that sets them off - Plea for Family Altar. Bishop MeCabe was the speaker at the beginning of the second week of the noon- day services in the Arch streets Methodist Episcopal church in Philadelphia. The church was crowded, and many persons were compelled tostand in the aisles and at the back of the church during the meeting. The keynote of the Bishop's address was a plea for the restoration of the family altar. He contended that no revival will be successful unless these altars are given a prominent place in the family life. ‘‘There can be no substitute for the fam- ily altar,”’ Bishop McCabe said. *‘Family religion is what we must have. God will bless the family or nation that will call on Him. Men get their character in the fami- lies in which they are brought up. It was Abraham Lincoln who said that all he be- came he owed to his saintly mother, and this nation owes her an unpayable debs of gratitnde because of the way she brought him up. No such character as Linvoln’s could come except from a home presided over by a godly mother. Hers was a pray- ing home, where there was an altar of God.” The Bishop cited the case of President McKinley, and remarked how ib was that all loved him. ‘‘He came from a home of prayer,’”’ said the Bishop. ‘If his had bloomed out as he did.” Announcements, The Rollowing are the prices charged for announce- ments in this paper : Sheriff, $8.00 ; Treasurer, $38.00 ; Legislature, $8.00 ; Register, 6.00 ; Record- er, $5.00 ; Commissioners, $5.00.
