Bellefonte, Pa., August 24 1906. ie, _ TE FARM NOTES. — Make war on the poison ivy. —Cut the rye beads out of the wheat. —Timothy sod is right for rutabagas. —Stady the matter of raising a little alfalfa. ~=There is too much waste land along our fences. ~—A poor, slow milker will spoil cows, however good. — Butter is better when it is fresh than it will be again. —Never churn fresh unripened cream with ripened cream. —Clean ont the swill barrel. awill is unfit for bogs. — When cows are fed any kind of putri- fying food the milk is unwholesome. —The operation of milking should never be hurried, but the milk drawn steadily. —Lile is too short and time to precious to fool with cows that have any especially undesirable traits. —Milk with the largest globules con- tains tbe most batter, but the smaller globules are more suitable for cheese mak- ing. —Cows will uot make good butter when raouing on short, weedy pastures during the beat of summer. Be prepared to avoid this. —The total which in wilk are largely dependent on the quality of the food given, while the ratio of the ingredients depends on the breed. —No one knows exactly what a certain cow will do until she is tested. Even cows which give a large gnanity of yellow milk are not always the best cows, —If penned out-of-doors be sure to bave a shelter from rain, and an awning or trees to shade from toe sun. Hogs easily blister and suffer. Give them good water. —A hog can be reared in the pasture with the cattle, almost without cost. It will learn to love and to follow the cows as easily as will a pet sheep. Free-range hogs are bealthy. —The better care aud feed given the cows, together with the introduction of Rotton new and improved machinery raised the | average quality of butter in all parts of the country.— Penna. Farmer. —Experiments are of more value to the farmer when practiced ou the farm than at the experiment stations. Five dollars expanded ou the farm in that mauner on small plots will be mouey well invested, which may return filty-fold in the fature. —Don’s let a crust form ou cultivated land. Start the caoltivator going soon after each rain. A crust means that the soil moisture can rapidly evaporate. A dust mulch prevents such evaporation. Stir the soil every week or tes days, until time to lay-hy the crop.— Penna. Farner. — Buttermilk is a valoable food for both man and beast. It is that portion bf the milk left after the fat has been removed. It contains nitrogen, patash, phosphoric acid, soda and a certain portion of milk sugar. A tou of butter-milk possesses a manurial value of $2. Itis a more valoa- ble food than many suppose. —To give harness a good finish, first saturate the leather with as much oil as it wil! take, and then sponge the harness with a thick lather made of castile soap. When dry, wipe geutly with flannel and follow in the same manner with a solution of gum tragacanth, which is made by boil. ing half an ounce of the gum in two quarts of water, boiling down to three ints, stirring freely while it is on the fire. ven cool apply it lightly on the leather. —In an experiment made to determine the absorbive powers of milk, there was inclosed in jars a portion of milk, aod in different jars, but not in counection, dif- ferent substances, giving off flavors. At the ead of eight boars a portion of the milk was drawn from near the bottom of each jar, by means of a pippette, so as not to disturb any part of the milk. In every one—of 15 trials—the Milk bad absorbed the flavor to such au extent that it had penetrated the very lowest stratum. —If you have any old trees that have failed to give profitable crops of fruit, dig the soi! up thoroughly apply a good dress. ing of well-rotted sta le manare and work it thoroughly into the soil. Then, if Jou have them, apply a dressing of wood ashes. If these fail to revive the tree, after eiviup a good praning, it is past redemption an should give way to something better. Good rich soil for three or four years can be profitably planted to some crop while the trees in the orchard are urowing, but after that the best plan is either to seed down to clover and use as a bog pasture, or to cultivate without allowing any crop to grow. —It is well known that fine, dry dirt is one of the best of ahsorbents and disin- fectante, It is also plentiful and costs noth- ing but the labor of handling. It makes excellent bedding, if covered over witha few inches of straw, and it really k the cows clean, even when used in t stalls without straw, as it iz easily remov- ed from the hair witha brush. A stall bedded with dry earth can be cleaned out in a moch shorter time than when the earth is not used, and, as dirt absorbs the liquids and gases, quite a saving is effected in that manner. Its use goes beyond the stall. As the stable should be cleaned daily, quite a large quantity of dry earth will be used in the course of a year, and will necessarily be added to the ma- pare heap. —Every tree in an orchard should be washed at least twice a year with strong soapsuds, but there will be no necessity for scraping them. The caterpillars should be destroyed as soon as the nests are seen, Nich wil sn) Jarge Sumlers wit ws. ng rapidity; escape of a single pair means thousands next season. One of the best assistants to an orchard is the little wren. If farmers will give him protection by constructing boxes with entrances so small that no bird but a wren can enter, the will be unable to Sa at As ee wren is rs active creature, it destroys a nom. ber of insects in a very short time, and, as it increases ly under favorable ocir- b FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Washing Belts and Shoe Ties.— Since broad ribbons are now almost uopiversally worn in low shoes instead of the cheap but ugly lacer of former days, they make quite a hole in the allowance of the average young woman. Now, soiled, crumpled ties not mer-ly rain the of any shoe, but they bave a essly untidy look that reflects ill on the orderly habits of the wearer. If money is not easy, therefore, and new rib- bons may not be bought every few days, there is but one thing to do—Ilearn to over- come the difficalty. Fortunately this is by no means impossi- ble, as shoe ties with a little care may be laundered to look like new. The secret of her immaculate lacers was confided to me by one young woman who always looks as spic and span and well gowned as an army cadet, though she bas very little money to spend on extras. “I always wash my shoe ribhons—white and black both,” she replied to my admir- ing comment on her shoes’ fine appearance. “*Now would you believe those ties have been done up half a dozen times? They really do look almost fresh and pew, do they not ? “How do I do it? Why it’s nothing at all. I stretch my ties out flat on an old white marble table top I have (the top of a stationary washstand or apy flat, clean surface wonld do just as well), rab them thoroughly with a pure white soap and sorub with a small stiff nail brash till per- fectly clean. “Holding a tie at a time very tightly stretched between the bands, run it back and forth under the cold water faucet until the soap has been entirely rinsed out. Shake the wet ribbon up and down to get out most of the water, then put it between double thickness of a towel and pat smooth till almost entirely dry, when the ribbon can be bang smoothly over the towel rack to complete the process. “1 used to laboriously wind my ties while wet on a bottle or paste them on the mirror,hut find my new way much quicker and just as effective to get the ties perfect- ly smooth. I really think they are softer and more like a perfectly fresh ribbon, for the hottie gives a certain amount of stiff- ness. ‘‘I clean my ribbon belting, the new moire kind they wear so much this som. mer, io exactly the same way. It does not even seem to take the color out of the most delicate pinks and bloes and lavenders.” There is nothing new about shoes, except that a great many gray ties and pumps are being sold. Pumps for walking shoes are as stylish as ever,and patent leather divides popularity with Russia. White shoes in castor and canvas are to be worn a great deal. Walking ties are very maunish in appearance, and it is said that, not content with mere appearances, more and more women are buying their walking shoes in the boys’ department of the shoe stores. A very good boy’s tie can be purchased for $3.50, which is lower than is usually paid for women’s ties. A word of cantion : The boy's tie will be a great dea! heavier than the shoes you have been wearing, and will probably cause you some anguish until ou vet used to them. Wear them a few ours at a time the first week or so. Next to the one-piece costume which is most popular, there is the blouse, which harmonizes or matches the color of the skirt. Io the fall, pjaé skirts, avd particnlar- ly shadow plaids, will be accompanied hy Tulane of the predominating shade in the plaid. Embroidery will be greatly in vogue dur- ing the fall and winter, and those who are inclined to keep their fingers busy while whiling away the summer hours on the hotel veranda, bad better be embroidering wild roses or poppies, or something or other on silk or satin. Buttons are about as elaborate as they can be, whether of metal, pearl, or bone, and there are some charming novelties in linen-covered ones. Some of them more ; completely covered, others have, perhaps, a single figure or flower in the centre, and still others show a Dresden effect, the tiny flowers giving a very dainty appearance. Sprays of gladiolas, stiff as quills and twice as effective, are trimming stanning hats. The variesy of colors copied from the vatural blossoms make beautifol com- binations possible. The hydrangea, anoth- er of the miliiners’ products that is not yet backneyed, trims some of the most expen- sive headgear. A black lace hat has its crown circled by scattered bunches of the flower in pale greens, lilac, pink, bine and cream. Au evening coat is made of oyster white rajab, semi-fitted, French seams, and trim- med with a wide silk braid of basket weave, two rows, one either side of the double- breasted front, which, (astened with but- tons are covered with the silk. Two rows of the braid finished the neck. Such a coat is so much more satisfactory than some of the lace and frill ones we see on the cars, as it may be worn either in day or even- ing, is light, unlined as it is, and cn the whole a very desirable coat to bave. Serge, an old standby but not always a favorite, is nsed for a large number of smart tailormades this season. Ob a recent oe- casion, when a murk eky and intermittent drizzle kept pretty thin frocks at home, y, green and blue serges made up a arge number of the smartest tailormades on the young Suntiagent, buds and young brides, and not infrequently on girlish looking mammas themseives. Empire &f- Jects are very prevalent in tailor-finished suits, A velvet neckband, with ends crossed by a brooch,is worn with many lingerie waists as a finish to the costume and as a support to the collar. To women with white or bair nothing is so becoming as the ine of black velvet with a white waist. When the bat is in color,the waist in white and the suit of neutral toue, a band of yeltes corresponding to the bat is an addi- tion. Hand embroidery never bad a ter De ape re one er e fering to put in their time otherwise. pre Shadow embroidery is one of the prettiest and most sensible forme of fancy-work that | we have ever bad. It is no great tax on the eyes, is inexpensive, and very effective. Veils form important accessories to the up-to-date toilet, and there are almost as many varieties and as many ways of ar- Thea a er a people to wear THESURGEON’S TOOLS AS FEW AS POSSIBLE USED BY THE MODERN PRACTITIONER. To Remove an Appendix, For In- stance, He Can Carry Everything Necessary In One of His Pockets. Hand Forged Instruments the Best. “A surgeon used to carry a bag of in- struments weighing often as much as twenty-five pounds when he was called to operate,” said a member of the staff of the New York Postgraduate Med- ical School and Hospital the other day. “Today an average operation, such as the removal of an appendix, calls for no more instruments than can be carried in the pockets. “I have just come,” continued the doc- tor, “from removing an appendix, and here in this small package are all the instruments I used—a scissors, two ar- tery clamps, two forceps and a needle. Many operations, of enteric, gynecological and those that have to do with bones—require more instruments, but modern science de- mands the use of as few as possible in order that time may be saved. Skill and haste are prime factors in an op- eration. In the old days, before anaes- thesia was known, this was to shorten the patient's agony as much as possible. After ether was discovered surgeons for awhile operated more leisurely, but soon finding out that the shock to the patient remaining under ether so long was always dangerous and often fatal they again recognized the importance of swiftness. Diminishing the number of instruments was one of the methods for saving time. In the operating room in the old days there was always, no matter what the operation, a good sized table laid out with ten or fifteen score of instruments, fifty artery clamps, scissors, forceps and lancets by the dozen. It used to take over an hour to remove an appendix; today the average is about twelve minutes. “The variety of instruments increases every year as surgeons meet with new needs or solve old problems. In our school here, as in others, many instru- ments have been devised. Especially {io those having to do with the eye, ear, nose and throat have we made valua- ble additions as well as in the field of orthopedic appliances. The Hippocrat- ic oath precludes the patenting of any such inventions; consequently all in- struments are free to be made by all and every surgical manufactory.” The making of surgical instruments in the United States is nearly contem- poraneous with the beginning of the republic, and one or two of the promi- pent firms today date from long before the civil war. In no country are finer, instruments made than in the United States. Though the number of men employed is small, every man is a skilled laborer and an artist, with an adroliness often as fine as that of a Journeyman jeweler, capable of mak- ing even the most delicate of the great variety of instruments, amounting to about 10,000, which a surgical house must keep In stock or be ready to pro- duce upon order. Cast and drop forged instruments have no lasting value, and once the edge is worn olf they can never be sat- isfactorily resharpened. The process which they underso demands that they be brought three times to a white heat. The first time the steel becomes tempered; the second and third time it becomes decarbonized and loses its temper, the result being an instru- ment with a shell of hard steel, capa- ble of taking a fair edge, but beneath which the metal is soft and unfit to stand boning. “All good instruments are hand forged. Thus prices are doubled and trebled over the prices of cast instru- ments because of the skilled labor and time unecessary to their construction. The workman in a careful factory must make a study of his work and learn the physical qualities of the steel or metal he works with, its strength snd cutting and tension qual- ities. General operating instruments are made of steel, silver, platinum, gold and aluminium. German steel, owing to its tenacity, is used for for- ceps and blunt instruments; English cast steel for edged tools, as it receives a high temper, a fine polish and re- tains its edge. Silver when pure is very flexible and is useful for cathe- ters, which require frequent change of {AsIOoRI The Kiod You Have Always Bought has horne the signature of Chas. H.

Seamless silver Instruments are least liable to corrode. Platinum resists the action of acids and ordinary heat and is useful for caustic holders, actual cauteries and the electrodes of the galvano cautery. Gold, owing to its ductility, is adapted for fine tubes, such as eye syringes and so forth, while aluminium is by its extreme lightness suitable for probes, styles and tracheotomy tubes. “Handles are made of ebony, ivory, pearl or hard rubber. Ebony and rub- ber are used for large instruments, though these at times have handles of steel. Ivory makes a durable and beautiful handle, though it and ebony are not entirely aseptic, because it is impossible to boll them for the purpose of sterilization without their cracking. Ivory and pearl are used for scaipels and fer small instruments like those used in operating on the eye. On the whole, the best material for handles is hard rubber, since it may be vulean- ized on the instrument, thus making it practically one piece, with no possible seam for the lodging of germs and hence perfectly safe. “Next to the materials the mode of making determines the instrument's quality. Steel overheated In the forge is brittle or rotten. In shaping with the file the form may be destroyed. In hardening and tempering the steel may be spoiled. In every stage the value of the instrument depends upon the skill applied.”—New York Post. He Was at Church. Saunders, the village slater, was a very poor attender at the church. One day the minister met him and said: “Come, now, Saunders, why is it you are never at church nowadays?” “Never at the kirk?" replied Saun- ders. “Ye're quite wrang there, sir; I spent the hale o' last week on the tap o't."—Glasgow Times.
