Bemorra cpa. Bellefonte, Pa., August 17, 1906. FARM NOTES. ~Lambs bring twice as much in market as sheep, including the wool derived from the sheep, and the market is seldom over- stocked with lambs. —Keep the cabbages well worked. The more one cultivates the crop the more thrifsy the plants. An occasional appli cation of a teas ful of nitrate of soda, scattered around each plant, avd worked into the soil, shows excellent effect alter a rain. —Bran is probably the cheapest foud that can be purchased and brought on the farm, with the exception of cotton seed and linseed meals. One advantage in favor of bran is thas is is rich in mineral matter, aod when fed in skim milk to pigs it gives excellent results. —Fertilizers pay better on fruits than ou corn or cotton, but they should net con- tain too mach nitrogen else wood growth is too much stimulated. P te aod potash are the best fruit fertilizers, but cotton seed meal, nitrate of soda, or stable manure may be used if it appears that the tree itself is not growing fast enough. —The watering trough on some farws are never scrubbed, and bave a slimy ap- pearance. They are breeding places of dis- ease, as auy disease affecting a single animal is more easily communicated to the others through the drinking water thao in any other manner. While it may be impossi- ble to prevent the animals from drinki from the same source, yet every troug should be cleaned daily. —Lambs should be allowed to eat very sparingly of second growth clover in late summer and fall. If a lamb can be carried through the watery and slushy period of the fall rains, into winter quarters without scours, there is a chance for him, bat if this debilitating disease, which is itself an indication of weakness, once lays fast hold of the young animal it will bea bard matter to bring it through ¢o spring. ~—There is no better way to fertilize poor Jaod than to sow it with cow peas, using phate of lime and sulphate of potash tofarnish the mineral f rtility that this crop requires to perfect its growth. It is no nitrogen which the pea crop most needs other than what the pea roots supply by deriving nitrogen from tbe air, but to form the grain both lime and potash are requir- ed. With these supplied the soil will grow richer every day. —No farmer who can patronize a cream- ery, and who has as many as ten cows, can afford to be without a band separator. The amount of cream tbat he will save by its use in one year, over the old method of setting in cans or crocks, will pay for the machine, avd if the machine is given de- cent care it will last tep or filteen years. The band-separator is just as important to the dairy farmer as is the twine-binder to the grain farmer. —There are more elements for producing’ growth in clover thao in corn, as clover is richer in both lime and nitrogen than corn. The feeding of corn and clover, or a variety of food, produces better results than when only a single kind of food is nliowed, but there is then a balance in the elements required for support and less waste, the animal making more growth of hone when young and iocreasing more rapidly in weight when matured. —The value of live stock and farm pro- ducts prodaced in the United States last year is estimated at $6,415,000,000. The value of the farm products exported reached the enormous total of $900,000,000. Of this nearly one-third, or about $250,000,000, was for live stock and animal products. Approximately one-half of all the exports of he United States were produced on the farm. The value of the conntry’s farm products is increasing with great rapidity. —-The eradication of weeds already es- tablished is difficult owing to the varied habits, etc. Annual weeds, by repeated cutting before they form seed, can be killed out. Many of them will have to be cut several times during the season. Weeds that bave tap roots, as in the case of man biennials perennials, should be cut below the crown under the ground. Those that spread by their underground stems or roots can only be mastered by cultivation and barrowing out and destroying the roots. It is a good plan to pull up by the roots, just after a rain, obnoxious or dan- gerous weeds. —Diseases of plants in pots is sometimes due to acenmulation of acid iu the soil. Placing the plants in new, fresh earth is one of the remedies, but, as scme plants will not bear removal, the ase of hot wa- ter is resorted to. First, stir the soil as deep as it can be done, and pour water at a temperature of 140 degrees on the earth in the pot until it runs off clear from the bottom. At the beginniug the water will be clear, then brown, then again clear. The sickly plants will be invigorated and will soon show evidences of improvement. Keep the Jhnts in a warm location until the soil mes somewhat dry again. —Chemical analysis shows the old-pro- cess linseed oil-meal contains an average of about 3 percent. of nitrogen, 2 per cent. of ospheric acid, and 1} per cent. of potash. itrogen may be purchased in bitrate of soda at fifteen cents per pound, phosphoric acid in raw bone meal at about five cents, and potash in muriate of potash at four and one-half cents, these being among the cheapest commercial sources of fertili substances. New process linseed oil- contains about one per cent. more nitrogen old-process. Asis has been demon- strated that not more than one-third of the fertilizing value of a feeding stuff is lost in feeding, provided the maoure be care- folly saved and used, linseed oil-meal offers a cheap source of fertility to the farmer. ~—A mistake is often made by setting the lawn mower to out too short, as there is sometimes not enough of leaf growth left to give the strength to the roots of the grass. A more natural condition is given by cutting a little higher, and the lawn is made more like velvet, while there would danger of the earth below being or burnt by exposure to the sun. and gardeners are sometimes poz- Sow what to do under the e w! g Hi y is a free seeding with grass, which will endure most other lawn grasses, treatment is to cover the nd the trees and beneath their e bardy evergreen ronni 2 Hii of i of plans, as the periwinkle or ivy; orit oe A log Rg dn and shade trees in separate allotments. FUR AND ABOUT WOMEN. GOOD FORM AND ENTERTAINMENT. BRIDE.—With fish potatoes are some- times served, but nos always. When they are served they are usually small balls of potato boiled with melted butter or ere.m sauce, or chopped parsley, over them. Cel- ery may be served with the fish, or sliced cucumber or tomatoes. With oysters only celery may be served. th meat apy vegetable may be served peas, beans, corn, stewed celery, rice, io 8 ae With Jomb she usual vegetable is peas, but not an essential point. With pork or roast duck apple sauce is usually served as a vegetable. There is no rule about salad. It is seldom served with a meat course, but often with the game course at a course din- ner—otherwise alone. A little of the parsley or watercress used for a garnish may be pas on each plate. Croquettes may be served from the try or by the host, as you prefer. It is the fashion now to serve everything from the pantry —even meat, but it is a matter of choice. In hot weather a fruit mixture, iced, may be used as a first course, soup may be left ont. After-divner coffee is served alter a dinner or a luncheon, and after an evening entertainment also, very often. Batter in balls is served with a small fork or spear ; when it is not in balls and bas to be cut a butter-knile is used, but the balls are more correct. Fioger- bowls are on the table ai each cover by the waitress ; they are used at the end of every meal except breakfast, when, if frait is served at the beginning, a finger- bowl is at each place when the meal is be- gav. Fioger-bowls are proper after an evening entertainment when the guests sit down about the table ; not otherwise. On a froitsalad you can use either French dressing or a mayonnaise, or, if served as a first conrse or a dessert the mixtore of fruits may bave a little syrupof lemon or wine and sugar for a dressing. Sherry or maraschino syrup may be used. CLARENDON.—It is not bad form to drink bouillon from a cup. After taking the first few mouthfuls with a spoon it is correct to drivk the remainder. Cold des- serts are often served in glass dishes, and it is perfectly correct. Vegetables are served in siiver dishes or vegetable-dishes made of china ; only articles like cold ou- cuombers and cold tomatoes and salads are served in glass dishes. It is better to serve a spoon and fork with all desserts, prefera- bly a dessert-spoon and a dessert-fork. The fork is usually held in the left hand while the knife is being used ; when the koile is not used it is correct to hold the fork in the right band. “IGNORANCE.”’—A married woman signs her name as Elizabeth Martin Ma. son. Shé may keep her maiden name if she wishes. It is only when she wishes to tell her married name—in business letters, and when she wants to indicate how to ad- dress her—that she signs as Mrs. Charles White. Even then the proper signature is Anna Mason White (Mrs. Charles White) written underneath in brackets. Douver.—Your card, sent to the recep- tion, was a regret, in answer to the invita. tion. You owe the hostess a call after the reception. It is better to call late than never. It is perfectly proper to call any afternoon hetween four and six. leav- ing, you do not need to ask the person youn are calling upon to call on you, as your call indicates that you wish to keep up the acquaintance. - — BRIDE.—In sending out wedding-cards, the outer envelope should be addressed to “Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Brown,” and the in- ner the same, except thas street and num- ber, ete., are omitted on the inside one. In the case of unmarried daughters, or sons, the inner envelope may also bear their names under that of their parents. But usually, when a mother-in-law is liviog in the family, cards are sent to her separate- ly. Do not use the phrase ‘‘and family.” Send only to your calling list in town, and to io out of town whom you desire to notify. R. B.—A Taxedo or dinner jacket is on- ly worn on most informal occasions when ladies are present and at home or in sum- mer. It is not correct for any formal enter- tainment or for any entertainment where ladies are present axcept of the most infor- wal kind. MANICE.—An engagement announce- ment is often made at a dinner. The place- cards can be heart-shaped, with the inter- twined initials of the fiancees on them. A pretty centrepiece isa heart-shaped bank of roses, in which gilt arrows stick here and there. From each one a rose-colored rib- hon runs toa guest's place at the table, and each guest pulls out his or ber arrow by the ribbon, and finds a ‘‘lortane’’ ora sentimental verse on a bit of paper tied to the arrow shafe. All the dishes and deco- rations should be rose color. The an- nouncement can be made in a little speech by some friend at the table, proposing the health of the engaged pair, or a sham tele- gram can be brought in, anuouncing the news. If an evening party is preferred, follow the same lines of decoration. If youn cannot have the gueste seated they can pull the ribbons just the same. Bruges. —It is not Bevery to send cards io acknowledgement of wedding-announce- ment carde. Call on the bride and the bride's mother about two weeks after the cards are received if any address is given which indicates that a call is expected and if you wish to be especially couarteous, This is all that is necessary. It is not nec- essary to answer reception invitations. T. H. G.—An invitation to a large and formal reception demands a ‘‘party call” even if one attends the function. Only such entertainments as teas, days and very informal gatherings leave the hostess in debt to her visitors. Lettuce is eaten with a fork ; no, it is not good form to use a knife for it. Sabstitute a piece of cracker or bread when necessary. M.—Do what is most natural in eating with your fork—in this country and else. where. You may change it from the left to the right il it seems better after . | using it in the left hand while cutting the meat. As a general thing the fork is held in the right hand when it is used to take somefbing from the Plate, but the best rule to follow in all these matters is to do what is most nataral and easiest. You can cut a few pieces of meat, then lay down the knife, and transfer the fork to the right hand. —From Harper's Bazar, A BRETON WEDDING. distaff to remind her of her duties. Tripe, butter, buck- wheat bread and cider form the mar- riage feast, toward which each guest pays his portion. At nightfall, according to an ancient custom, the mother gives her daughter a handful of nuts. The happy pair are serenaded and are served with soup containing crusts threaded together, in symbol of unity. SPECTACLE LENSES. In the manufacture of spectacle lenses the bit of glass to be formed into a lens is fastened by means of pitch to a small block of hard rubber, so that it may be held. It is ground by being pressed against a rapidly re- volving cast iron disk on a vertical spindle and with curvature equal and opposite to that desired in the lens, This is the “rough tool” and Is kept moistened with emery and water. Sev- eral grades of emery are used in suc- cession, changing from coarse to fine as the grinding proceeds. The glass is then transferred to the “fine tool,” made of brass, and com- pared from time to time to a standard curve in order to insure accuracy. In this second grinding the abrading ma- terial Is rough. Finally, the lens is polished by being pressed against a plece of cloth pow- dered with rouge and fastened to the rotating tool. The glass is now loos- ened from its block, turned over and the reverse side of the lens ground. When this has been accomplished the lens is placed on a leather cushion and held firmly in position by a rubber tipped arm while a diamond glass cut- ter passing round an oval guide traces a similar oval on the glass balow. The superfluous glass is removed by steel pinchers and the rough edges are ground smooth on Scotch wheels, — Pearson's Week!

The lady shut up her fan, and the recita! was concluded successfully. Impudent Dog. A dog had the audacity to bark at the deputy commissioner of Purulia, in Bengal, when he came to the house of the master of the dog on a bike, The owners of the dog were sent up for trial under section 280, and one of them, Karusha, was fined 20 rupees.— Lahore Tribune.

Awful Punishment That Was De- ereed by an Anclent Council. “Berne has an official collector of June bugs,” writes a correspondent of the Chicago News from Switzerland. “This personage Is appointed by the tity council when the triennial pest of June bugs occurs, and he is empow- ered to destroy all the insects that may be brought to him. Each owner of a small estate is obliged to gather five pounds of bugs, and those who happen proportion- ately more. For each pound that is missing from this obligatory amount a fine of 10 cents is imposed, but if more than the required quota is forthcom- ing a premium of 2 cents a pound Is paid. This remuneration is offered also to others besides the property subject to a fine of from $5 to $10. School children receive permission to enter large estates, where they shake the trees and poke long sticks about in their endeavors to dislodge as many bugs as possible, “In times of cold, the ancient chroni- clers tell us, it was the custom to at- tempt to rid the country of these un- welcome visitors by citing them into court and by banishing them from the country, but the wily Insects failed to obey the summons and continued to fly about in the face of the law, laying eggs promiscuously and contrary to edict. In a certain village it was de- termined to make a terrible and last- ing example of all the insects found within its borders. With considerable expenditure of time and patience quan- tities of bugs were collected and placed in a huge sack. Deliberation was held as to the fate of these hard backed prisoners. Ordinary death was consid- ered too light a punishment for such offenders. A hideous end must be theirs. “A procession of the inhabitants of the village, advisers and councilors, wise men and children, wended its way slowly toward the place of execution, the summit of a high peak. This was laboriously climbed, an executioner with the bag of buzzing bugs In the lead. With due regard for the respon- sibility and justness of their act, the wise men approached the edge of the precipice. The bugs were to be igno- miniously dashed to pleces on the rocks thousands of feet below. The executioner hung over the crag, the bag, top downward, was opened and the bugs shaken out to their dea But instead of falling like so many lumps of lead, as they ought to have done on such an occasion, the bugs, to the amazement of all, spread thelr wings and flew away.” KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL. Heart 1s Wont Savixg, axp Soxe Prorie Kxow How ro Save I. Many Bellefonte people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys, when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ili. health, but there is no need to suffer por to re- main in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and peninanently cured by the use of Doan's Kidoey W.

In the fall of 1807 I gave for publication in our local papers a state- ment covering my experience with this remedy, and recommending it to others, and now, in the month of June, 1904, I just as enthusiasticall recommend it as I did at that time. Doan's Kid- ney Pills completely relieved me of an aching in the small of my back and lameness through the loins due to kidney trouble.
