Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 29, 1905. TAS I Fass. FARM NOTES. —Poultry houses should face to the south, if possible. Be careful about this when you build your houses, for sunshine has a commercial value, and the pens should ; have a{good supply, of this, espec- ially in winter. —A man can raise more corn on 20 acres, if it is thoroughly manured, carefully plowed and kept free from weeds than he oan on 40 acres, with only the same amount of manure and time to give to it that he could give to his 20 acres. —Sheep manure is extremely rich in nitrogen, and this is affirmed by many. It is claimed by English farmers that 100 sheep pastured for 15 days on one acre of land will manure it sufficiently to give a four years’ rotation of crops. —One of the great reforms needed is that of curing the evil of selling young calves when only a few days old. They are unfit for food, diminish the supply of cows and steers, while the milk in its first stages is ropy and unfit to drink. —Experience has taught that barnyard manure is sometimes injurious when ap- plied in a fresh, unfermented condition, proving more effective when well rotted and carefully harrowed in, so as to be in- corporated with the soil near the sur- face. —When a cow is giving a pound of but- ter a day she is subjecting her nervous system to a very severe strain, for she gives besides that an equal portion of almost solid protein or nitrogen in the form of casein, and she has had to extract it with a very strong exercise of nervous force. —The use of pure-bred cattle has greatly increased the interest in farming. Farm- ers who care but little for their scrub cat- tle find more pleasure in raising pure breeds. With the advent of good stock on the farm comes greater interest in farming, a greater diversity of crops and better cul- tivation of the soil. —Corn at nearly all stages of growth may be used as ensilage. The ears should be glazed, at which period the corn may be out, as is will then be more nutritious and contain less water than if out in a green condition. It will pay not to out too soon, so as to have the ensilage of the highest quality. —1In the process of dressing hogs for English bacon their hair is removed by be- ing singed, instead of being scalded off, therefore the animal must not be too fat and chucky. Hogs suitable for making the singed bacon, for which there is a growing demand, are a cross with the pure Berk- shire and Tamworth breeds. —Some farmers never eat celery, salsify, okra, cauliflower or egg plans. It is as serious as a shoemaker going without shoes. A farmer should enjoy every luxury that can be had on the farm. If he lives on pork and potatoes it is his fault. There are more enjoyments on the farm than else- where if the farmer will only decide to have them. —Peat, as dug from the swamp, owing to its acid and antiseptic qualities, is fre- quently injurious to land. Soda ash, 20 pounds to the cord of peat (as dug out), will neutralize the acid, cause the peat to heat and ferment, generate ammonia, pus- ting peat in the same condition as compost, equaling it in quality cord for cord, and will not cost as much, with no limit to the supply to be obtained. —The experiments of Wolfe and others at German Experiment Stations show that a horse weighing 1100 to 1200 pounds would eat from 22 to 27% pounds of bay if no other foods were given. With grain 20 to 25 pounds were usually eaten by working horses of that weight. Lighter horses would not need so much, but no data can be found of experiments with horses weighing less than 1000 pounds. —1It is a fact that in many of the towns where farmers havea market for cattle the butchers buy there beef or cattle from large cities, many of their customers being farms ers. It should be easier to raise the beef nearer home than to send a distance for cat- ‘tle and pay freight charges. It is not cred- itable that farmers do not supply their home markets, and it seems strange that butchers must buy cattle in the cities to sapply country trade. —If one supposes that cleanliness will not benefit swine, then try the experiment. Take two pigs and wash one of them at least once a month (or oftener) and leave the other untouched. The one that is well washed and scrubbed with a corncob will grow faster and keep in better condition than the other. More than this, it will probably be 75 pounds heavier at killing time, which should amply repay for the labor performed. —The plum curculio infests the fruit of the peach as well. The crescent-shaped mark of this insect upon tbe plums is well known. The oarculio is single-brooded and hibernates in the beetle state. It appears upon the trees in early spring and feeds upon the tender bark,buds and leaves until the fruit 1s set. As soon as the fruit be- gins to form it feeds upon the frait and deposits its eggs underneath the skin. The larva feeds within the peach, emerging and entering the soil just before transform. ing to the pupa state. —Timothy grass makes growth after cutting, especially when cut late. The hot sun striking the ground bakes it and dries up the roots, which in timothy are mostly near the surface. A mulch of any- thing spread at such time is better than if given late inthe fallin winteror in epring. There is no appreciable loss in spreading manure on timothy sod in late summer. It is dried up by the sun, but in its dry state there is no fermentation and no ammonia to be given off. When fall rains come the manare is dashed down into the soil, where itis most needed. —It may be properly claimed that the rich milking breeds have been made by rich feeding. This is partially true, though probably wise selection had more todo with it. It bas required a great many years of good feeding, wise selection and careful keeping to make these breeds, and no man will wisely start out to create a breed in bis day, even though he had some good ‘‘spots’’ in the right direction to " start with. Sunch animals are liable to revert to their original condition with their offspring. The man who thinks he can take a native cow and feed her into the capacity to produce Jersey milk is mis- taken. Long years of work in this direc- tion may accomplish something, but the chances are that labor will be loss. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN: The following hints on how to rectify certain of our blemishes are from Mrs. Lynres, the well-known authority on this subject : For Blackheads and Pimples—The wom- an who is troubled with blackheads and pimples should abstain from all rich food— pork in every form, hot breads and sweets. She should drink neither coffee nor tea and live as much as possible on fresh or stewed fruit and green vegetables. She should take a daily bath and a great deal of ount- door exercise if possible. Treatment for Blackheads—Get the cor- rect camel’s-hair face scrub brush, a bland toilet soap, a little good cold cream or toilet cream of superior merit—there are many of them—and a few ounces of common washing soda. If the black points are very distinct, press them out; if not, sorub the face morning and night with hot water, into which you have put a bit of the soda about a filbert in size to each quart of hot water; soap the brush precisely as youn would were you going to use it for your hands, and scrub the face thoroughly. How to Use the Camel’s-Hair Face Serubbing Brush—Immerse the brush in water as hot as can be pleasantly borne. Soap it well, just as you would if you were about to use it for your hands. Scrub the face thoroughly, taking especial care of the places that most require cleansing. Rinse the face with cooler clean water, so as to get all the soap out of the pores. Dry care- fully and apply a oream or toilet balsam; any good emolient will answer. Lotion for Inflamed Skin.—Boracic acid, 1 dram; distilled witch hazel, 2 ounces, rosewater, 2 ounces. Use as a wash two or three times a day. Blackheads of the Skin—Boracic acid, 2 drame; alocohol, 2 ounces; rosewater, 4 ounces. Use with friction twice a day on the skin affected. Pimple Cream —Petrolatum, 1 ounceav. ; lanolin {anhydrous),1 ounce av.: hydrogen peroxide, 1 fluid ounce; acetic acid, 1 fluid dram. This preparation, usually employed tor the removal of pimples, may be also used for blackheads. Pores too Large—Try the following lo- tion on your face and at the same time ab- stain from spicy stimulating, greasy foods and sweets : Astringent Lotion—Dried rose leaves, 1 ounce; white wine vinegar, 3 pint; rose- water, 4 pint. Pour the vinegar on the rose leaves and let them stand for one week, then strain and add the rosewater, throwing the rose leaves away. The lotion may be used either pure or diluted by put- ting a tablespoonful into a cupfal of rose- water. Do not keep in a metal vessel. Dr. Shoemaker’s Bleach—For tan,freck- les and yellow discolorations of the skin. Bychloride of mercury in coarse powder, 8 grains; distilled witch hazel, 2 ounces; rosewater, 2 ounces. Agitate until solution is obtained. Mop over the affected parts. Keep out of the way of ignorant persons and children. Whitening Paste for Freckles and Brown Spots—Salicylic acid, 60 grains; bay rum, 4 ounces. Apply night and morning with a soft cloth or sponge. This lotion soon produces a slight roughness of the skin, which should be subdued by the use of glycerine of st ireh. To Remove Wrinkles—Massage with a good face cream, using the tips of the fingers gently, with a rotary movement upward and outward. This movement should be given fifty times each day. There is a certain massage cream which is said to be the one Queen Alexandra uses. To make it take of cold cream half an onnce, white vaseline half an ounce, almond oil a quarter of an ounce and a piece of white wax the size of a walnut. Melt altogether and scent with perfume. This is a cheap substitute for the rather ex- pensive ingredients used by her majesty. Orange-Flower Cream—Oil of sweet almonds, 4 ounces; white wax, 6 drams; spermaceti, 6 drams; borax, 2 drams; gly- cerine, 13 ounces ; orange-flower water, 2 ounces; oil of neroli, 15 drops; oil of bi- garade (orange skin), 15 drops; oil of petit grain, 15 drops. Melt the first three ingredients, add the glycerine to the orange-flower water and dissolve the borax in the mixture; then pour it slowly into the blended fats, stir- ring continoously. Red Hands and Face—Red bands and face come from various causes, and are fre- quently constitutional, in which case they are very hard indeed to combat. Abstain from blood-making foods, and do not use water that is extremely hot or cold. It is better to use a good face cream. I am giv- ing you lotion for whitening the hands. Wearing cosmetic gloves has been very suc- cessful in some cases of red hands, and I am giving youn directions for making them. To Whiten the Hands—Lanolin, 100 grams; paraffin (liquid), 25 grains; extract of vanilla, 10 drops; oil of rose, I drop. Mix and apply when necessary. To Make Cosmetic - Gloves—Uzse soft, large leather gloves, three or four sizes too large. Rip them open and spread the in- side with one of the following preparations, then sew the ripped seam up. The simplest, and therefore the leas troublesome, paste to make is this : Cosmetic Glove Paste. Ground barley, the white of an egg, a teaspoonful of gly- cerine and one ounce of honey. Cosmetic Glove Paste—No. 2—Home- made soft soap, 3 pound; olive oil, 1 gill; mutton tallow, 1 ounce. After boiling these together remove them from the fire before adding : Spirits of wine, 1 gill; am- bergris or some other perfame to an amount to suit the taste, always being on your guard not to scent things too highly. To Stop Hair from Falling—You must. first get rid of the dandruff, and I advise you to use the lotion for which I am giving you formula until it has entirely disap- peared; then treat with the quinine tonic, which will promote the growth of your hair. To Remove Dandrufi—Tincture of can- tharides, 1 ounce; liquid of ammonia, 1 drain; glveerine, 3 ounce; oil of thyme, # dram. Mix all together with six ounces of rosewater. Rub the scalp thoroughly with this preparation until no further evidence of dandruff is noticed. Quinine Hair Tonic—Sulpbate of quin- ine, 1 dram; rosewater, 8 ounces; dilute sulphurie acid, 15 minims: rectified spirits, 2 onnces; mix, then further add glycerine, 1 ounce; essence royale or essence musk, 5 or 6 minims. Agitate until solution is complete. Apply to the roots every day. The following lotion has been most sue- cessful in stubborn cases of falling hair. Tincture of nux vomica, 1 ounce; spirits of |. rosemary, 2 ounces; alcohol, 2 ounces. Ap- ply several times a week to the roots of the air, New Men for State. Earnest Efforts to Wrest Game from Indians at Harrisburg, October 7th. State College, Sept. 14.—State will de- pend much on some fine new material to win the big football match from the In- dians at Harrisburg on October 7th. This will be one of the big games of the season and as it comes very early, ‘‘Pop’’ Golden has got his training table squad down to hard practice earlier than usual. Of the men whose positions are sure at this time are Dunn, at center; Ray, for guard or tackle; Smith, tackle; Yeckley and McGee,end men; McIlveen and Moore- head back of the line at half; and possibly Harry Weaver, who made an enviable rec- ord on the Steelton Y. M. C. A. eleven, which has for three years held the state championship for Y. M. C. A. elevens. But this only partly fills the team and the remainder must be developed, from the best lot of raw stuff that State has ever had. Among the new men are players from many of the crack prep. and high school elevens. ‘‘Pop’’ Golden feels sure he will be able to put a team in the field that will beat the Indians by one or two touchdowns at least. Observations. How an indulgence in sour grapes does sometimes smooth out little lives ! It seems rather a pity to disillusion per- sons who are enamored of themselves. Persons glibbest of gab are often slowest on tips. We’d be a better people if more of us had a standard of our own to live up to, rather than being chiefly concerned ahous what others think of us. It is well to look out for the person who is too kind and too accommodating. Coquettes might well be reminded that even one earnest worker in the field of love can give them all the trouble they’ll need. Some complaints are legitimate, but the person who continuously complains has no right to expect that which might have re- sulted from continuous labor. A good part of the time one envies the surface worms. The other part one is grate- ful for being a grub and having less op- portunity to display one’s lack of capacity. Brought to Time. “I’d like to ask you in to have some- thing,’’ said the young man as they passed an ice cream parlor, ‘‘only I belong to an anti-treat society.’”’ ‘Stick to principle by all means,” the young lady responded, cheerfully. ‘‘I can appreciate your position. I myself belong to an anti-kissing society.’’ Cream in suitable quantities was being ordered a moment later. Miiton’s Coming Fair. The fall meeting of the Milton fair asso- ciation will be held on the society’s grounds at Milton, on Wednesday, Thurs- day and Friday, October 4th, 5th and 6th.

There will be two distinct attractions every day, each giving several performances. These attractions embrace Prof. Bristol's celebrated horse show, with the world re- nowned mule comedian, and Prof. Hamp- ton’s trained animal show, a most wonder- ful aggregation. There will be three races every day, and the outlook is that we will bave some very fast stock in the entries. The Milton fair bas no gamblers, it toler- ates nothing immoral on the grounds, and does its best to protect its patrons in every way. Everybody goes to the Milton fair— you meet everybody there.
