Dent Bellefonte, Pa., July 28, 1905. FARM NOTES. —Nothing makes hens lay like green boue. —The bess way to make a hen bappy aud stars her singing is to give her some- thing to do. —High time to get ready for spring work. Breeding pens, coops, cages, nest- boxes, feed-troughs make now. —These late batches will be laying in March and April while the early broods are hatching ous their first clutches. —The production of feathers in either young or old fowls will be materially as- gisted My a liberal <upply of bone and shell, —Hue or cultivate the cabbages ofien. Then watch ’em grow. This vegetable gives an appreciative response to such at- tentions. —Some burn the bones, then crush them, bus while this is good it is not nearly as good as the fresh bone. The best way to feed hones is to put them through a mill. —The vital necessity of an adequate sup- ply of soil moisture is apparent when we consider that water constitutes sixty or sixty-five per cent. of the structure of growing plauts. —We cannot understand the policy of men when they cut bay and leave it for weeks in little oodles all over field, but we see more of this kind of farming than any other and do not pretend to explain or make excuses for it. —A good test for roats is to weigh them in water, a8 the weight in water will give the amount of solid matter. Sometimes the large mangolds will float, which shows them to he deficient in nourishment, while the small ones invariably sink. —A simple way to tell butter from oleo- raargarine, or renovated butter, is to heat the sample in a spoon over 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. —A pint of linseed meal and the same of cornmeal, mixed and scalded with boiling water, if given an animal at night will sometimes prove more beneficial than any medicine that can be given. Linseed meal regulates the bowels and relieves constipa- tion as well as preventing scours. —Boiled potatoes, with a little bran over them, a head of cabbage placed within reach of the flock, or a liver cooked and rubbed up fine, or put through a sausage mill and then mixed with mill feed, are all good to keep chickens in good health and make the hens lay at this season of the year. —1It is claimed that if grain is ground there is a saving of one-third, and that 15 pounds of hay, when cut up fine, will be more serviceable than 20 pounds uncut. Cutting the bay permits of mixing with it not only ground grain, but also linseed or cottonseed meals, or other concentrated foods. —The best market for corn, and many other feed stuffs, is the maw of the cow and the stomach of the hog. Feed will bring more in milk and meat than in money and the milk and meat will sell for more than will the feed. The staple food crops of a farm should be consumed on the farm. Sell your crops to yourself and pocket the profits. —Do not make the earth in the hoxes and flower pots too rich. All plants pro- tected during the winter, by setting them on a stand in a warm room, such as geran- iums, should not make heavy growth, bus be kept in good condition for slipping, as the spring and summer are the proper sea- sons for having them to perfection. The mealy bug must be gnarded against when the plants are kept in a warm atmosphere. —Dead limbs on trees are not only un- sightly, but useless to the trees. Cut them off. On the peach tree it is not diffi- cult to secure new growth in a year or two in place of the dead limbs,as the peach tree will renew itself in a short time, and will also endure severe outting. Dead limbs may be the signs of disease, and in destroy- ing them the disease may sometimes be checked. i —Small pig pens, for a few pigs, which can be easily removed from place to place, are much better than the large ones, where 20 or more are gathered in heaps together. If plenty of straw is provided each pig will make a warm enough bed for itself. Sepa- rate pens should at least be provided for breeding sows. Many pigs are lost each year by crowding the sows into pens with other hogs when too near the farrowing time of the sows. : —Ezxperiments recently made in Europe with a view to ascertaining the best meth- od of preserving manure show tbat manure allowed to accumulate under cattle three months or more, in specially-constructed deep stall, was found in every case,as com- pared with that of ordinary manure heaps, in a more workable condition, the ammonia salts were better preserved and the useful ingredients were present in greater propor- tions. —1I6 is a well-known fact that trees along _ highways, trees in towns and oities, and trees in groves amid agricultural regions, render the atmosphere purer. They, by their foliage, absorb hurtful gases, which would otherwise be breathed by the in- habitants of the densely-populated cities, thereby modifying diseases, lessening the dangers of epidemics, and in many ways improving the healthfolness of ocommuni- ties. —A dairyman states that he wae troubled with the smell of garlio or wild onion in the milk from his cows. To obviate this he put the cows in the stable about 3 o'clock each afternoon, and fed them on bay, giving them their grain as usual. The result was all that he anticipated. A rest of three hours allowed the odor to pass off in the other secretions, though previously it very strongly flavored both the milk and butter. The same course would proh- ably be of advantage when the milk hae the odor of other weeds in the pasture. —Some grasses have barsh herbage, the outer cells of the leaves and stems contain- ing too much silica. This substance is not needed by animale, and when abundant is not acceptable to them. Other grasses havea covering of hairs, either short and sharp, or long and silky. These hairs are - not easily digested, and are dieagreeable to the animal. Such grasses are to be avoid- ed. A comparatively smooth grass, with no tendency to secrete too much silica, is the best, so far as texture is concerned. - before putting a guest into it is, to put it FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN: A DAILY THOUGHT. It is not only a part of the wisdom of happiness but it is absolutely essential to the conditions of, any true work in the world, to so live that one may not be too greatly aftected by the attitude of other people. A man’s life is, after all, primarily between God and himself.— Lilian Whiting. First and very important, keep your bed and bedroom warm and dry during the day. An open window and a cold room will make the bed damp and cold, and will give its unfortunate ocoupant a severe coldat least, if not worse. A damp bed is averit- able brooding place of bacteria. n= Many housekeepers, having heard of the neces- sity of fresh air, leave the bedroom win- dow open during the day, filling it with cold air when none is needed,and shen close the window for she night, when the room is occupied and the fresh air needed in abundance, Any one can see howoon. orary to common sense euch procedure is says the Living Church. The custom of some kousekeepers to keep the ‘‘spare room’ closed at all times and then opening it only for warming just mildly, very thoughtless. Cold objects, bedding included, when exposed to sudden hens, condense the moisture in the air, and consequently such beds are always damp and cold, and are the moss unhealthy, and should be avoided even by guests. Better go to an up-to date hotel or walk home any number of miles than tosleep in such a bed. Second: All your clothing worn in the daytime, footwear included, open out and bang over chairs or on hooks near the stove or register to dry and air during the night. 1f you neglect this simple sanitary measure your clothing will feel damp and cold in the morning, because it still contains the evaporation from your body during the previous day, and after a while your cloth- ing will have an unpleasant odor from these evaporations. Drying and airing your footwear during the night will keep your feet from sweating, coldness and bad odor. Third: Your bed and room warm and dry, bave plenty of lightweight bedding. Then juss before retiring close the door and open a window from the bottom. Where more than one person sleeps in a room the window must be raised higher. This will give an abundance of fresh air while you sleep. Place the bed so that the fresh air current will not strike you directly. Pro- tected in your dry, warm bed—as cozy as a bug in a rug—the air, cold, pure and fresh, freighted with oxygen,an elixir of life, will quiet your nerves, will rest you, will soothe you, and give you health and strength. When arising in the morning close the win- dow quickly and let heat come into the room. Then, dressed in your aired and dried day clothing, you will feel clean, fresh and vigorous. Fourth: Keep your living rooms well ventilated in daytime. If no other provi- sion is made for ventilation, get one of those attachments to astove pipe or flue which takes the cold air from the floor. Foul air being heavier than warm air nat- urally sinks to or near the floor,and by the above-mentioned apparatus escapes to the flue. How many sitting rooms of even well-to-do people have a very offensive odor from lack of ventilation. The self-toned room--that is the room where everything is one color—has the lead in the.hest houses below the bedroom floors. Two or three kinds of furniture of as many different colors jumbled up in the same drawing room are out of the question now. _ In a millionaire’s new house the draw- ing room has a long expanse of perfectly plain ceiling, rounding down to meet a four-inch moulding of white and gold. The walls between a two-foot high wain- scooting of white enameled wood and the frieze are paneled with yellow self-toned satin brocade; the chairs and sofas are up- holstered in brocade of exactly the same tint, and portieres and window curtains are made of the same material. The frames of the curtains are white enameled. This is the general style of draw- ing room most in vogue now. "Plain ivory-tinted ceilings ‘devoid of or- namentation are practically the rule. The wide, elaborate frieze has gone ouf;so have the vivid contrast of color in wall hangings and furniture coverings. Harmony is the main idea rather than that there shall be several thousand dollars’ worth of covering in evidence. The showy gilt window cornices, mirror frames and curtain supporters once so fash- ionable have vanished. Only the panel curtain hanging straight down against the glass is now used in rooms of state, with the heavy curtains of brocade, tapestry or vel- vet as the case may be, next the room. —As a resul$ of fashion’s change in favor of simplier and quieter effects it is perfeot- ly possible for people in most moderate cir- cumstances to duplicate in comparatively inexpensive materials some of the costliest rooms in the country. Irish lace beading is used in place of the fagot stitch of recent seasons to obviate the need of stitched seam. It is dyed any desired color. Soft hemstitched turnover collars are the latest things in Paris. They are caught to- gether in front with a triple butterfly cra- vat of taffesta ribbon. A black has with an enormous black aig- rette is very French, and if made of orino- line and trimmed with velvet bows the height of chic is reached. Behold the new white linen walking skirt —a simple, bell-shaped affair without a tuck, without a plait, with well-shaped seams merely stitched in! A white straw hat, when soiled, may be cleaned by a scrubbing with sulphur and lemon juice; after scrubbing rinse in pure cold water and hang up to dry in ashady, breezy corner. * % When a lamp is overturned, never pour water on it to extinguish the flames, as the oil spreads over the surface of the water. Throw flour, sand, garden earth or salt on the blaze if a heavy rug is not available. Chicken Croquettes.—Cut enough meat from cold boiled chicken to make one and one-half cupfuls of mince. Throw aside all bits of skin and mascle. Cook together in a saucepan,a tablespoonful of flour and one of buster, and when they are thoroughly blended add one cup of milk. Stir until you have a smooth, white sauce, then add the minced chicken. Season to taste with salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Cool, stirring steadily, until heated through, then add the yolks of two eggs and cook fora minute longer. Set aside until cold and stiff. Then with flonred hands make into croquettes. Roll each oroquette first in cracker dust, in beaten egg, and then again in cracker dust. Arrange the platter, be- ing careful that they do not touch each oth- Censor for Postcards. A Washington dispatch says : The post- office department is going after the souvenir postal card fad. Orders have been issued to stop all such cards which are offensive to decency and good taste. There are plenty of these cards which are not general- ly regarded as indecent, and are no worse than many of the pictures in illustrated weeklies, but which are entirely too “‘skittish”’ to suit the postoffice depart- ment. Hereafter pictures of girls in bath- ing suits will not reach the addresses, nor will pictures of red devils accompanied by the legend ‘‘I’m having a devil of a time.’ “The amount of such souvenir stuff com- ing daily to the dead letter office,”’ said James Rankin Young, the chief of the dead letter office, ‘‘would amaze any one on the outside. We have three men who do noth- ing but handle these postal cards. *‘The worst come from abroad, chiefly from France. The German souvenir cards are for the most part inoffensive, although some of them are very broad in their humor, If is only of late that the Ameri- oan cards have approached the indelicate stage. ‘The souvenir fad is a pretty one if con- fined to resonable bounds, but as we see it, it is a dangerous business.’’ ——The man who stubs his toe twice on the same nail is usnally the man who is too careless to put the hammer back in its place. . $56.50 to Portland and Return.

In Denmark when a drunken man comes forth from a saloon or a cafe, he is at once pus 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. A A ES SE its. Insurance. K ! READ (Successors to Grant Hoover.) FIRE, LIFE, AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
