Bellefonte, Pa., June 28, 1905. FARM NOTES. —The roofs of barns should be steep, and the shingles either painted or dipped in lime water to make them more durable. Straw and dirt collect under Hat roof shing- les ard cause rapid decay. 1 ~The hens will soon begin’ to moult, and will lay but few eggs during the pro- cess; which requires about three months.: Old hens and early pallets begin to moult earlier than the late pullets, but all of them should have their new feathers com- plete before November. - a —Tomatoes may be trimmed of the low- er branches and made to grow somewhat in the'shape of a'tree. The main stalks of the plauts then ‘become stocky, and are better able to bear the weight of . the fruis. By supporting the vines on. posts or arms more. air and suolight. will enter, thus ripening the fruit more perfectly. —The possession of too much land is the bane of farming in many. sections of the country. No one can afford an acre of land to lie’ ‘idle. Unless producing some valuable crop it is growing weeds, which are the most expensive crop, both for him- self and his neighbors, that a farmer ean raise. ‘And yet many who do not balt cultivate their farms; are constantly seek- ing more land, $64 —All animals of the same variety are nos alike, and scarcely any two will do equally well on thesame food. Each api- mal’s wants should be supplied, if pos- sible. Cattle of different ages should be separated for feeding, as the weak ‘ones will not “do well with the strong; ‘Cows are weak and shy, it takes them longer to eat their meals and they should, therefore, be put where they cannot be dowmineered by their superiors in strength. = —The beautiful fly, resembling a wasp, which lays ite eggs just at the surface of the ground, in the trunks of the trees, is the peach borer, and may be seen ocoasion- ally pursuing ite alloted task. The simplest remedy (or rather 'preventive) for itsiat- tacks is a piece of stout ‘wrapping paper a: foot wide wound around the. stem of . she tree just above the ground. . A little dirt should be drawn around the bottom of the paper, while the top can be tied with a cotton string. ~~ ; = —Liberal feeding of stock means land improvement. Some lands are consider- ably improved hy the application of lime, either in the limestone marls or the burned limestone slaked. Clover is a great aid in restoring or retaining fertility. Under- draining is often she fiist step to be. taken in renovating the field, When one is un- decided as to whether a field needs under- draining or not it is always safe to give the field the benefit of thé doubt, and un- derdrain is. ’ aii —Sheep often go a long “time without drinking, especially if in"good pasture and where the dews are so heavy that they oan fill up with west grass in the morning, but when they do desire so drink water it is.as necessary for their health . and comfort as to that of other animals. Keep a supply of pure water in the sheep pastures as much as in any other, and 'if the sheep do |" not drink from it give them a little salt’ once a week. They should have salt as of- ten as once a week under any circum- stances. —If the farmers of the country who own’ worthless dogs—ours without any breeding —could be induced to destroy them, and sabstitnte one well-bred shepherd pup, nos more, to each farm, the wealth of every farming community would be vastly in- oreased in many ways. Farmers soon find the collies saving ‘them many a step. Eager and anxious to learn, willing to do anything within his power, the young ;dog needs only a wise and patient restraint and intelligent direction to become one of the most useful bands on the place. —There are two most important things to be kept in mind by the fruit raiser— pruning and mulching. If those two duties are well performed success is nearly always certain. If well mulched, the fer- tilizing material is well supplied by fil- tration from the mulching down to the feeding roots, which is the very best self- regulating method of fertilizing. By al- lowing this mulching to remain in winter and early spring the roots are kept moist, and vegatation will be prevented from springing up around bushes or a heavy sod from forming. —Rapid plant growth requires a ocondi- tion of the soil thas will furnish plans food as fast as the plants can take it up, or, in other words, when it is desired to force a erop the soil muss be filled with manure to such au extent as will furnish a contin- uous supply of material so thoroughly de- com thas the soil may be kept filled with atoms of plant food thas have united with both ait and water, and thus ocom- bined in a manner to be absorbed by she plants as fast and as long as needed. —A sheep is peculiar in "respect to eat- ing and retaining the brightness of the eye, while is is gradually wasting by sickness until is dies at the feed troogh. When a sheep loses flesh and hecomes very thin without exhibiting any other marked symptoms of disease it is probable thas it is suffering from tuberculosis of the intes- tines. If the skin is pale and the eye is unusually bright this is still more probable. If the eyes are yellowish and the skinof a yellowish oass the disease is in the liver. If the dung is'sofs and of a fetid odor the digestive organs are involved. If the urine is thick or of an unusual appearance or odor disease of the kidneys or of the liver may be suspected. All these dis- orders may be accompanied by a loss of flesh and a gradual wasting. —Corn should be ous as near to theground as possible, when the time for harvest- ing the crop arrives. This is not so much for the sake of the stalk thas is saved as to avoid the troublesome stubs, which may not be covered in the next plowing, and thus remain upon the surface as a disagree- able nuisance inja meadow and among the hay. In setting up the shocks it is pref- erable to make large ones, and to take a least 10 rows each way, by which the shocks will stand firmly and will not break down or tumble over. A large shook will dry quite as well, although somewhat more slowly, as a smaller one, and can he more easily prevented from damage by storms. o shock should be put up so that the centre is open below and air can pass freely through i, and should be bound securely above the centre and at the ‘top with straw bands. It is very important that the sop should be closely bound, ao that rain may not enter. Corn fodder so $ up may remain a long time without ury, but she husking should not be | postponed any later than when the corn is dry, because husking corn in a snow-storm B; neither convenient, agreeable nor health- mT shoes. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN: A DAILY THOUGHT. ’ Blessed are those who have the gift of mak- ing friends, for it is one of God’s best gifts. It involves many things, but above all the power of giving out of one's self and appre- ciating whatever is noble and loving in an- other. The child who had not learned obedience at the age of 2 never learnes is. ' The child of 18 months out late at night in the per- ambulator, whose mother said. ‘It won't go to bed till we do,’’ has begun the edn- cation of its parents very early.—Arch- bishop of Canterbury. If one’s hands are inclined to perspire it is well to lay the wet gloves in a sheet of tissne paper and then put them under a heavy book or weight forseveral hours. When they are taken ont they will. be soft and pliable again.—-New York Evening Post. i Care of the Shoes.- Clean yonr shoes thoroughly before attempting to blacken or polish them, dusting them off even if they seem perfectly clean. If there is mud on them that refuses to brush off moisten a corner of your cloth and rob the mud stain | until it disappears. Then put on your blacking. . iit : It, instead of wearing one pair of shoes every day, you get two, and wear them day and day about, they' will last longer and look better than two pairs worn the other way. Whichever pair you are not wearing should be carefnlly ‘‘sprung’’ on shoe- trees, to hold them in sheir original shape. All your shoes and slippers, for that mat- ter, should be kept on shoe-trees, and your cleaning done while they'are on the trees. Be sure to'see that your shoes and trees match as to shape—-a ‘narrow, pointed slip- per tree won’t properly hold out a mannish walking shoe; and if.a gqnace tree is forced into a slipper it is hound. to ruin the shape, Perhaps you run your shoes down on one side of the heels; no matter how little, watch it carefully and bave it righted, or your whole shoe takes an ugly tilt. Much advice is given from time to time in-regard to the care of the youngster’s ‘misshapen from contact: with wes pave- ments and the ungonfessed wading in pud- dles, which is sure.to delight the bears of | the small boy. But with all this advice about keeping the children’s shoes in good condition,those ‘belonging to the older people are usually allowed to take care of themselves, though they may be of even greater importance and quite as often damp. ; Few people .give proper. care to their. They. come in damp, tired, cold perhaps, and possibly not in the best of tempers, fling their shoes off impatiently, get into slippers as quickly as possible, and | sit down to rest, forgetting that their shoes .will ‘be scarcely in “wearable condition by : the next morning. If everyone would; invest in a quart: or ‘two of good clean oats, and keep them in ‘a bag in the dressing room they would have ‘at hand the means of putting their shoes in good condition with very little trouble and less cost. & A As Root as the shoes are taken off lace or button them up, and fill them about two- thirds full of oats, shake them down well, then tie in a handkerchief a parcel of oats as large as can be pressed into the top of the sh d.put away potil wanted. The oats absorb she moisture in the shoes, and in absorbing it the oats swell consid- erably, and the constant pressure on the leather keeps the shoe in correct shape and prevents that uncomfortable stiffness and rigidity always noticed when leather has been wes. dl A little trouble and care of this sort will save many a pair of shoes, and in all proba- bility will save many a corn from being formed by the pressure of shoes hardened from dampness. The Graceful Lines of the New Corset. —Slowly, but irrevocably, corset lines are changing. They're in a transition period as yet—a state in which they will proba- bly stay some time. For it’s the case of the straight-front versus the old time small waist, and the question will be a hard one to settle. ; : The summer girl is responsible for it, with her demand for'a smaller waist." She bas tired of the exaggerated silt to her waist line that fascinated her for so long— ‘tired of blouses that bloused too much; and just now she’s going in forall the gracious little curves that it’s poesible to get and still keep the straight front. The consequence is thas the small waist has come back again, but with the prettiest differences imaginable. Iostead of the pjuched up, awkward figure, with the buss ne high and the waist drawn in all around, has come a charming new corset, as free and comfortable as the true straight-front oorset ever was, but ehaped in at both sides and back—everywhere s26ePs Qirectly in front. The bust-line. is , $00, but: only slightly, and the tilt is modified, in- stead of dispensed with entirely. And everything tends to lengthen she waiss, in acoordance with new dress styles. Over the new oorsets her lingerie blouses and summer dresses have a ses that the blouse of yesteryear never knew, and the summer girl revels in a new charm of line. And these new corsets make certain styles possible which have always been class: ed among the ‘‘trying’’ fashions. Princesse styles show off their peculiar beauty in a way that the true stiaight front made im- possible. Tailor styles—the cloese-fitting, ~—are helped by them. There's no indication that the old-fash- ioned, uncomfortable high corset will be upon us soon (although its return as some time in the not very far distant foture seems inevitable), for the summer girl is immensely pleased with her production, Sud she's a great factor in the world of on. In refurbishing the spring wardrobe ‘‘brains’’ frequently take the place of dol- lars. For instance, crepe de chine, chiffon and mousseline de soie are frequently thrown away when soiled, most people thinking that they cannot be washed. This is a needlees waste, as a very little trouble suffices to make them quite presentable. Make a strong lather ofigood white soap and lukewarm water, and soak the material in it for a few moments. Pass gently back ‘and forth between the fingers until thor. until clear. Dissolve a quarter of a teaspoonful of Jom arabic in a half cap of water; add a w drops of white vinegar, and immerse the fabric. Take out intoa clean, sofé towel and pat, so press all she water ous. Cover with two or three thicknesses of white tissue paper and press with a rath- er cool iron. ‘| their natural resources.

All the people of the South in the farm- ing districts are watching the work of the men who bave come in from the North with new methods, new ma- chinery aud uew crops. The waste of natural fertilizers is one of the moss as- tonishing things that the Northern farmer sees about the swall Southern farm. I have actually known au instance—an ex- treme one, of course—where a farmer boughs *‘patent’’ fertilizer with which to enrich his fields, while, at the same time he had the natural fertilizer from his stables hauled away and dumped in a heap, making no use of it whatever. Not many of the farmers go to this length; but the most of them are extremely wasteful of this line is one of the lessons they are now learning through the efforts of their State agriocnltural schools and throogh contact with the farmer from the North, who is without attempting to be, an agricultural missionary. There is nothing sensational, noisy, or even picturesque in this diversified farming cance overshadows that of a dozen bois- terous crusades which bave come and gone, promising great things for the South, and giving only disturbance and trouble. | Cotton, corn and credit, the time-hon | ored triumvirate of the South, are all up to a certain limit, hut as’ ab olute dic- VIN-TE-NA for Depressed Feeling, Ex- hausted Vitality, Nervous Debility and Diseases requiring a Tonio Strengthening Medicine.

The time is close at hand when a failure of the cotton crop will not swamp the Sonthern farmer, for he will have a goodly reward for bis year’s work in the other products of his farm. : He will sell for cash and buy for cash and no longer live an ‘existence by anticipation, a dependent upon the local storekeeper. The resources of the South have not yet approached realization, but the last two years have accomplished marvels in bring- stration. When this work has reached something Jike its normal stature and de- velopment we shall hear less of Cotton, Corn and Credit, and more of the Newer South.—Saturday Evening Post. i Reduced Rates To Baltimore.
