Bellefonte, Pa., July 21, 1905. Ss, FARM NOTES. —A simple way to tell batter from oleo- margarine, or renovated batter, is to heat the sample in a spoon vygr the gas burner. Fresh butter will boil quietly and produce many small bubbles; oleomargarine and renovated butter will splatter and crackle like a green stick in the fire. — Wild carrots should be destroyed late in summer, before the seeds mature, so as to save labor. Being a biennial, the wild carrot gets a firm hold, and it is very per- sistent, propagating itself rapidly and tak- ing possession of the land. An excellent plain is to dig the plants up and burn them. —Summer fallowing for wheat is one of the old methods which modern practice has pretty generally abandoned. It is very wasteful in every way. Trials at the Obio station show tbat the following orop is increased at the expense of rendering five times more nitrogen available than is re- quired by the crop. The available nitrogen, if not utilized by the crops, is not stored up in the soil, but is lost. ! —One Summer when a bawk caught geveral of our chickens, we built a pen of old boards and partly covered it with old pieces of poultry wire. A small thickest of raspberries was inclosed in this pen. That corner needed no wire, as the briars and foliage formed ample protection from hawks and made ashady run for the chicks. —[Mrs. Edwin B. Clapp, Hampshire County, Mass. _ —In addition to the value of a quick growth of trees it is a well known fact that bugs and worms have less effect on such trees than on slow-growing ones. As a general truth it may be said that most newly-planted trees and shrubs and gar- den crops of all kinds receive far less nour- ishment than they are capable of appropri- ating to advantage. Even good gardeners often fail in this respect. —The farmer who buys his seed wheat, and is not careful to have it olean, will stock his fdrm with weeds. The labor of picking over the seed is tedious, but it is a small matter compared with the damage that may result from weeds. It is also an anvantage to pick out the inferior grains. Use only the perfect and plump seeds, and they will not only surely germinate, but will produce better grain at harvesting time. —Baying a cow is greater risk than buy- ing a horse, yet some farmers, who will not trust themselves in judging horses when buying will'go outand take up fresh cows from any one who has them for sale. The farmer who will breed better cows and keep his calves may believe that it does not pay, but if he will avoid worthless cows and aim to improve he will soon discover, that he can make a larger profit with few- er cows and also have less labor to perform in so doing. —The beauty of a garden is its cleanli- ness. Nothing gives a sadder impression of negligence than a garden grown up in weeds and grass. It is a waste of time to grow seeds that are left to take care of themselves. A olean garden not only gives pleasure, but also profit. The systematic arrangement of the different crops, even if the area is but a small one, adds beauty, aud especially when kept free from weeds. A few hours’ work, when the grass and weeds are just beginning to push through the ground, will save many days’ hard work after they bave been aliowed to become rank. —There is more profit in spending a lis- tle time in loosening the earth for the chickens to pick up the worms, than there igin earning money to buy scraps. The worms they get do the chicks more good than twice that amount of scraps. —There is nothing to gain during a dry period by keeping the cows on the pasture that bas been injured for lack of rain. The cattle will be compelled to travel. over a great portion of the pasture in order to find food, and this leads to injury of the grass by trampling. The better plan is to re- move the cattle and allow the grass an op- portunity to renew its growth. —XKilling weeds by spraying is now prac- ticed 1n France. A 5 per cent. solution of sulphate of copper has been found destruc- tive to wild mustard and some other weeds, without injuring grain crops. It is probable that it will not injure certain kinds of weeds. Spraying has been found of advantage in France, however, in’ de- stroying weeds, the cost being two dollars per acre. It is doubtful if such a method will ever be adopted in this country, as the harrow, cultivator, weeder and hoe can be used more effectively where orops are cul- tivated in rows, and ‘even if weeds are growing on broadcasted plots it:is probably cheaper to pull the weeds out than. to Spray. ~The farmer who is expected to start to state what he grew on his farm for 10 years, also the number of animals, fed, must be well informed regarding the work done ‘by him. Unfortanately but few farmers keep hooks, and they are compell- ed $0 guess or estimate,” instead of giving all the facts. Another ' diffionlty is that many farmers die, or sell their farms daor- ing the 10 years, hence no estimate of their operations can be obtained. If some meth- od'could be devised by which tarmers would be required to make an annual report to the State Board of Agriculture of each State it would be more reliable than tak-. ing a census, and comparisons could be made yearly instead of once in 10 years. —Although the bess milch cows are the result of good breeding, and possess vala- able inherent characteristios, there is not one capable of fulfilling the expectations: of her owner unless he-performs, his. part in the matter of enabling her to produce the largest quantity at the lowest possible oss. ithin the past ten years many ex- périmenters have sought to arrive ata | knowledge of the correct manner of feeding | cows for, the production of milk and butter, and the experiments have also included the digestive capability of the animaland her ability to convert the food into products. The first consideration in feeding ‘is to supply the animal waste. . It is not unsil the bodily warmth and materials for the repairs of bone and tissne, as well as force, have been supplied, that we can get milk or butter. The product. created is from the supply left over after appropriation for immediate animal necessities. The food should consist of a variety; in order to promote health, and this is a very impors-. ant Water in inducing a full flow of milk. A FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN: A DAILY THOUGHT. The simple duty that awaits thy hand Is God's voice uttering a divine command. M. J. Savage. It’s always a question what todo with sponge and tooth brush or a washrag when you're traveling—if it’s only the tiny over- night trip. So, if yon’re thinking of mak- ing a gift for some one who is going away, try a rubber case for those very things. Get sheet rubber (the light color is best) and tape—there’s regular tape that comes for binding rubber; and for covering a thin silk; or, better still, one of the linen or cotton wash table stuffs, so that the wet things can’t stain it. Cut your rubber sheets twenty-four inches long and nine or ten wide, and cover on one side, being careful to baste she rubber and covering together close to the edge—bastings will pull out of the cloth without leaving a mark, bat make tiny holes in the rubber,which grow larger in spite of the most careful handling. Line pieces of the covering with the rubber for the patch pockets, and stitch rubber-lined bands for the comb and brush holder. : The long pocket at the bottom is for the washwrag and the big pocket for the sponge, while the tooth brush is stuck through the three loops at the top. Then the case is folded or rolled, according to how fall it is, and tied with an inch-wide ribbon. The other case is as large as the whole lower half of your closet door—is meant to hang there when you are at home to hold your shoes, and to roll up when yon travel keeping the shoes from rubbing against each other. Denim, linen-taffeta and cretonne are all good materials to make them of. Each row of pockets is made in one, with the divisions made by tapes stitched flat, and each pocket is a big box pleat, with a casing running clear across, through which a strong clastic is run to keep the tops from sagging down. The decoration at the top is a form of buttonholing, with the stitches widely spaced ; or featherstitohing, with a heavy mercerized cotton, may be used. But the word ‘‘shoes’”” does seem a bit redun- dant! : Another kind of shoebag, less cumber- some, $00, is a set of little bags, each just big enough to hold a pair of shoes, and each bag made of a difierent oretonne, striped or figured in gay colors. There's an advantage, too, in not having to take along a case for six to protect a couple of pairs of shoes! Workbags—the siniest of their race— and the dainty little nightgown-bags, made of nainsook and lace as exquisitely as a bit of lingerie itself; small linen medicine cases, strengthened by stiff cardboard and furnished with rubbercorked bottles; wee oases, with all sorte and sizes of pins, and wee ‘‘honsewife’’ bags, fitted ons like the famous bag of the Swiss Family Robinson, with dozens of necessary things—it’s easy to find variety enough even in followin the rule of having it useful. ! Have it pretty at the same time, whether it’s a gift or for younrself. FORTUNES IN FILMY LACES. It is not a question as to quality or quantity, but simply as to artistic selection, when it comes to judging between Mis. Bertha Duncan and Mrs. James Stillman as to laces. Both are connoissieurs par excellence and it would take an expert of experts to determine which of the two is the possessor of the rarer material. Mis. Duncan’s collection has been enriched by a bed spread and pillow shams made from an old Cathedral in Rome. .They are re- garded as priceless treasures, but as an off- set Mra. Stillman can boast, says the New York Press, of more spidery flonnces and frills than any other woman in New York —80 many, in fact, that a special maid is employed to care for them and see that there delicate edges are not frayed and that they are kept in the artistic order their owner demands. Mrs. Stillman bas more laces than any one woman ever can hope to use in a lifetime, but she does not intend them for practical purposes—just hoards them as a nomismatist does his coins ora stamp collector his stamps. A few—a very few—are set aside for her exclusive use; the great mass is held as a ‘‘collection.”’ In colors for the coming autumn royal blue is predicted asa leader abroad, while in this country the shade termed inaugura- tion blue is to be a much-nsed color. Greens in myrtle, resenda and other dark shades olplum, purple and kindred hues are be- ing manufactured in quantities. These indications from muaufacturers show which way the wind will blow, for whatever Fashion might wish to dictate she is obliged to use the fabrics in the markes,and these are always mannfactured at least six months ahead of their use, sometimes a year. For large hanging baskets the Madeira vine is very satisfactory. It is best not to give it a very rich soil; its growth will not be so strong, but the leaves will be oloser together and more attractive. Pinch: it back mercilessly until the basket. is. cov- ered with foliage. . After that let a few vines grow, allowing some to drop and others train up along the chains suspending the basket. Keep the glossy leaves clean and you will bave a charming plant. The young woman of the day may bave a purse to matoh ‘each one of her costumes. Thus, if she has a green gown she may purchase a large purse of geen suede that will exactly suit the gown. She may have a red puree for her red suit, and a terra aotsa one for her terra cotta coat, and soon | ‘ad 'infin. And when one buys a purse in these days she gets no small guantity of leather, for the new pocketbook is about the size of a man’s wallet, and far too large for any woman’s pocket, if she had snch a ‘thing. {ag HATPIN HEADACHES. Several peculiar cases of headache among women patients of a young West Philadel- .phia doctor ‘have been discovered by him to be due to hatpins. ‘‘I was baffled for a long time,”” he says, ‘‘by a patient who was an inveterate trolley rider, and I at- ‘tributed the malady to the strong wind to | which she subjected herself during 'sach rides. She presisted in the riding, how- | ever, 80 [ set my wits to work, and when her hat bad blown off and she had to tieit | on, she had stopped the headache. I sug- gested that next time she should take her hat off and hold it in her lap. Thisshe did, and missed the headache again. I | tried the same remedy on other patients with the same result.

Danish Method for Drunkards. Undoubtedly if the Danish method were introduced in the United States, it would go far towards regulating drunkenness. In Denmark when a drunken man comes forth from a saloon or a cafe, he is at once put into a cab and driven home, by the dealer from whose house the man issued. Any liquor dealer who allows a man to depart from his establishment in an intoxicated condition is compelled by the Danish law to pay that man’s cab fare home. The Danes, in consequence, are a, sober people. Insurance. OOK! READ JOHN F. GRAY & SON, (Successors to Grant Hoover.) FIRE, LIFE, AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
