Bellefonte, Pa., May 26, 1905. FARM NOTES. Catching Corn Pulling Crows.— When ready to plant eorn, take a can of kerosene oil and pour enough into the seed box to juss saturate the corn. If thoroughly mix- ed the oil will not cause trouble in the planter, and the crows will not touch the corn. About one pint of oil is enough for one peck of corn. This does not injure the rm, as I bave soaked corn one year and ept it until the next and it bas grown well. I have tried this remedy for three years and know that it works. Working the Cantaloup Crop.—The sur- plus plants in the cantaloup hill should be carefully pulled ous, and any surplus hills chopped off with one stroke of the weeding hoe.Keep the middles thoroughly cultivat- ed, and the rows clear of all other growth, until the vines are about 2 feet long, when all cultivation should cease, and the vines will quickly cover the ground. It has been’ my custom, and I think it a good one, im- mediately after giving the cantaloups the lass working, to drill in a row of cowpeas between every cantaloup row, with a one- row drill. These can be cultivated alter the crop is harvested, and left for seed, cut for hay, or left on the ground, as is most desirable. It sometimes bappens that there is a mas of crab grass on the ground by the time the melon crop is off,and in this event I often let the grass and peas grow up to- gether and cut them for hay. It makes very fine hay, only being surpassed by hay that is all composed of peavine. The cultivation is now done, and the peas drilled in if desired. = There is nothing else to do to the crop until! we commence har- vesting; 150 orates per acre is a fair yield. FEEDING YOUNG TURKEYS. We have good luck with young turkeys and this is how we treat them. Never take from nest until they are at least 24 houis old, then put them in a pen made of. four long boards 1 foot wide. We keep them in this pen until the little ones are able to fly over, then let them roam, unless it is a wet season, when we make .pen two boards high. The secret in feed- ing is not to give too much. When first taken from nest for about 30 turks (and two hen turkeys), we gave one hard-boiled egg chopped fine. After that one slice of good wheat bread moistened with milk three times a day, with black pepper sprink- led on once a day. We never feed anything but good bread and milk, with sometimes a boiled egg, until they are a month old. Then you can make a bread of cheaper flour. We never - give any meal until two or three months . old, and then it is cooked and a very little mixed with the bread and milk. After they leave the pen and commence to roam, we feed only night and morning. We never feed near the hens, but try to keep them away to he sure no hen lice get on them. —Wheat chaff contains about twice as much protein, crude. fiber and fat as the corn husks. These foods are low in diges- tible protein and fat and only constitute cheap forms of roughness, more valuable as a filler for ruminating animals than for their high food content. Corn husks are not as rich as the stover from the entire plant, and they are also considerably lower in nutrients than corn leaves. Wheat chaff containe about as much digestible matter as wheat straw, but it is much lower in digestible nutrients than oat straw, con- taining only one-fourth as much digestible protein. Be Careful About Lice.—Build the nests of earth and tobacco stems, or paint the in- side of the box with a reliable lice paint. After the chicks are hatched, paint the in- side of the coops with it occasionally, tak- ing care not to suffocate them. Go accord- ing to the directions for the particalar kind used. The buildings should, of course, be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected occa- sionally, and good dusting material pro- vided. Separate the Cockerels from the pullets as soon as they can be recognized. They will thrive far better in flocks by them- selves and so will the pullets. Fights will thus be obviated with their possible in- jaries, which would prevent sales later on. If the habit of fighting has been acquired before the separation,it will continue after. Therelore, be prompt to separate. —Apple trees are allowed to grow too much wood and are not cut back sufficient- ly in some orchards. One of the leading horticulturists states that a large apple tree requires more room than a forest tree, and in some cases it may be necessary to out away threefourths of each tree so as to afford plenty of room for all and admis air and sunlight. —A strong odor will sometimes prevent attacks from inseots. A gill of turpentine, intimately mixed with a bushel of dry plaster, dusted over vines and bushes, will cost but little and will keep for months. If a tablespoonful of kerosene and the same of carbolic acid are added it will be all the better, as the odor only is re- quired. —Pat out the young strawberry plants for next year’s crop. Every garden can afford space for strawberries, if even but a few rows. Be sure to get the plants of the staminate and pistilate varieties, or there will be no fruit. A hundred plants, if the rows are allowed to ma$, may produze a thousand before next spring. For Small Chicks I use a drinking foun- tain made from a tin can and a cake or pie tin. A small notoh is cut in the edge of the can and a hole is cus a little above and to the side of the notch. The can is filled with water, the pan placed on top and quickly inverted. The water comes out as it is needed. —A potato grower states that he picked the blossoms from some of the vines, by way of experiment, and found that the tubers in the hills of the vines which were so treated grew to larger size than the tubers in the hills on which the blossoms of the vines were untouched. : g Alfalfa Grows Better where there is some alkaliin the soil, but it will not stand more than 1 percent in the first 6 inches. It should never beplanted where there ia en alkali to form white incrnsta- tione on the surface during any pars of the year. ‘Feed Chicks at the right time, never be- fore nor after; with just enough, never too much nor too little; always the right kind of food, never the wrong. They will thrive. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN? A DAILY THOUGHT. When we are alone we have our thoughts to watch ; in family our tempers; in society our tongues.— Hannah Moore. Very small buttons are to be seen on all sorts of frocks. » SUGGESTIONS FOR MOTHERS. Never leave bottles containing anything within the reach of tiny children. Never nag at any time, especially in the nursery. Never let a child cry itself tosleep. Learn the cause. Never force a child to eat if its food is distasteful to him. Never let ‘the little ones play with domestic pets which are allowed to roam about the streets. Never fail to have all she milk and all the water consumed by the baby boiled. A Useful Hint.—Castor oil and cod-liver oil will not taste so bad if the child first holds a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice in its mouth. The spoon should also be dipped in vinegar or lemon juice before the oil is put in. This will not spoil the effects of she oil. * Bananas for Children.—Although banan- as are 80 wholesome, many children can- not eat them without suffering afterwards, as they are indigestible. If well mashed. with a fork and beaten to acream, they will not harm the smallest ohild, and can be easily eaten with a spoon. Many ochil- dren prefer -it to jam between bread and utter. . Clothing for Children.—No persons re- quire more careful clothing than infants and young children, as their body surface is relatively large,and their heat-producing powers feeble. For this reason they re- quire covering up as much as possible with loose light clothing, the under garments of wool.” The unnecessary swathing of chil- dren in wraps and comforters is to be dep- recated, as it renders them tender and peculiarly susceptible. to chills. Invaluable in the Nursery.—The four most necessary articles in the nursery are : and glycerine and honey, and castor oil. Boracic ointment is'for healing broken or reddened skin, and should be liberally used. If camphorated oil is well rubbed into a child’s back and chest at the begin- ning of a cold, it will generally check it. Borax or glycerine and honey is for oclean- ing the mouth should thrush appear. Cas- tor oil is invaluable for the bowels, es- pecially during teething. j Worth Remembering.—Baby sleeps long- er on the right side than on the left. It is well 60 remember this when laying him down finally forthe night. To Prevent ‘‘Thrush.”’—Artificially fed children should bave their bottles boiled every day, and the tubes and other rubber parts soaked one hour in water which con- tains twenty-five per cent. of pure glye- erine. ; No Food Between Meals, —If is not good to eat between meals, and parents should take care that they do not let their children fall into the habit, as it is one of the most frequent causes of ill health in the young, and also in older persons. The Feeding of Children.—When a child has reached the age of four or five years it will be found, in most American homes, eating at the table with adults and sharing their food. It is then time for the parents to consider rules of diet for the child which shall recognize the coexistence of a growing body and an undeveloped digestive system. In the first place, it is reasonably plain tbat children should not have their beartiest meal at night. It is probable that they will have just finished their hardest play- ing. Their nerves are fatigned, and the conditions for good digestion are not likely to be present. Their hunger must, of course, be satisfied,but not with the heavier foods. They will soon be asleep, and what- ever influence sleep has on digestion, a stomach full of milk, for example, is less likely to cause trouble than one full of hearty mixed food. ‘The amount of food that children will take varies so much with individuals that appetite must of necessity be the principal guide. The system alone knows how much it has wasted, how much it has built. Why, then, should it not measure its own requirements ? A child should have all it wants, even though it may seem voracious at times, and even though, judging by the variable quantity of food eaten, the appe- tite may seem capricious. Bus this law is $0 be adopted with one important proviso : that the child be not allowed to bolt its food. The violation of this rule is respon- sible for more digestive disturbances than quantity or even quality. Shall the child be allowed to eat be- tween meals? Yes, by all means if the food given is plain, and if a suitable in- terval is to elapse before the next regular meal. Here again appetite wust be the guide, for there is no sure and definite measure of those internal processes which constitnte the mystery of growth. The amount that was sufficient to-day noon may not be enough to-morrow. So with children’s likes and dislikes, provided they are confined within reason- able hcunds of wholesomeness, and whims bave not been artificially encouraged. What the child likes and oraves it will usually digest; what it dislikes will dis- ree with it. Few obildren like fas, al- though nearly all like butter. Foods rich in fat, such as gravies, notoriously dis- agree. It is foolish to urge children to eat them. Of sweets the opposite is true. Children crave them because their system demands them. They should have them in reason- able quantity, but not in the form of com- plex confections at all hours of the day, or at the expense of other food. Rather let them be given at meal times, and in the simple form of sugar, syrup or molasses, or good preserves,— Youth’s Companion. Ribbon, ribbon everywhere. There is bardly an article of woman’s outer ap- parel that cannot be made or trimmed with some of the new soft ribbon. Pompadour is in highess favor, with or without a border of black or colored satin. Faille, a soft, coarse weave, in every beau- tiful shade, satin eta and louisine are all equally fashionab? -, besides velvet rib- bon in every width. The sleeve, whatever its length and whatever its character, simply must be pufly and bouffant at the shoulder. Dress- makers are running in little frills of silk upon the lining to support the fullness of the sleeve, and for the heavier materials— the chiffon broadcloths, siciliennes, draps d’etes and such—pafls of princess haircloth are tacked to the sleeve lining to give the requisite smart outline. Boracic ointment, camphorated oil, borax | Killing off Indians. The once mighty Winnebago tribe of In- dians is facing a miserable end, though the National Government holds $900,000 to the tribe’s credit. Scores of the Indians are dying of consumption and thie entails a heavy expense on several towns. Resident Indian Inspector A. P. Jones is aunthority for the statement that con- sumption, unless stopped, wiil soon kill the whole tribe.
