a RI is — a Bellefonte, Pa., March 29, 1907. —————————————————— FARM NOTES. —1¢ is better to bave the rye cracked— not ground. —We need to pay more attention to the fertilizing of our land. —Give the stables a good coat of white- wash. Pat a cupful of strong coffee in the call’s skim milk; it will cure scours. ~Breeding ewes will need some grain now, if best results are expected. Feed some bran as lambing time approaches. . ==Above all, keep the outbuildings nice and clean, with plenty of air, and you will not be troubled with ail kinds of diseases. —Rye may be fed advan uely to horses. Two quarts of oats with one of rye are about equivalent to four quarts of oats. —Alwa, t a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda in ip rail for the call or pigs. It is good for them, even though the milk be fresh from the separator. —Keep the pigpen olean. bi is will do them good. Also sweet ap- ples, but not sour ones. You will find plenty to keep the pigs withons any feed. —Pastures snd meadows require as much attention as cultivated fields to keep them from running out. Yearly reseeding of the bare places is necessary, else the clover and timothy will give way to less desirable grasses, —An old barness can be kept looking like new by using a dressing made from three ounces turpentine and two ounces white wax dissolved and mixed over a slow fire. Then add one ounce ivory black well pulverized. Wash the leather clean and when dry apply the dressing. —There is a fangus which sometimes at- tacks carrots and turnips, causing decay at the roots, or a misshapen growth, or a withering of the leaves. This may be pre- vented by a liberal sowing of air-slaked lime upon the soil, 30 or 40 bushels per acre, and harrowing it in before the seed is sown, as the fungus lives in the soil. Bat it is aenally better and cheaper to put the root crops on new land were this fan- gus has never appeared. . —Poor pastures do not pay, for the rea- son that it is to the interest of the farmer that his cows secure an abundance of food at the least cost. The animals should not be compelled to work for their food on the pasture by trampiog the ground in the search for grass. As soon as a pasture does not supply an abundance the cattle should be taken off and fed on green food at the barn, as they will fall off in milk if the supply of food on the pasture fails. —The hog that is grown between ‘‘éwo winters’’ will cost less and be more profit. able than one kept from the fall till the spring of next year. The spring pig should be of just the right weight to bring the highess price by November or Christmas, and it will require less attention than one kept through the winter. It is not now necessary to have pigs excessively fas, though weight is an important factor. Quality is sought now, and hence fixes the price. . —Do not use pots that are too large for the wintering flowering plants. It is bet- ter to give larger pots when the necessity for such arises. Be careful in watering, for the tendency is to give too much water. An excellent fertilizer for winter plants is to dissolve a teaspoonful of nitrate of soda, hosphate of lime and phosphate of potash 5 three pints of water, which may be ap- plied in the same way as watering—three times a week. The materials are free from odor and may be procured at any drug store. ~The first pound, or 100 pounds, of mutton, beef or pork is where the profit is made, as the young animals grow and gain rapidly. The greater the weight an ani- mal can be made to attain in the shortest period of time, the smaller the cost per pound proportionately. It requires no more labor to feed and care for a steer weighing 1000 pounds than for one weigh- ing much less. The cost of production does not depend solely upon the amount of food consumed, but upon that combined with the expense of shelter and labor. ~The draining of large areas of land calle for expert advice and superintendence. The man who owns a small piece of land and bas an outlet for his surplus water will find little trouble perhaps in getting a drainage system to work; but it is far otherwise with a large area, whether that aren consist of a level plain or of hills. It is very easy to construct a drainage sys- tem that will not work well on the hills and that will not work at all on the level land. Expert advice and superintendence cost money, but they are worth money. —To give a horae a drench, place & stout rope in his mouth and around upper jaw. Back him up in a stall or corner. Throw loose end of rope over beam overhead and let another man hold it taut or loose as re- quired. Stand ona box and lift horse's head up. Take in slack of the rope and hold head in position. The mouth of a long-necked bottle, containing the drench, should be loosely placed in the horse's nos- tril, and contents allowed to run out. Not a drop will be spilled, if properly man- aged, as the animal is obliged to swallow at once. —The fatter a breeding sow is kept the more liable she is to destroy her pigs by laying upon them or eating them. Sows left to run wild usually make good moth- ers, and will geuverally select a warm, dry place to farrow. It is for this reason that there is moch advantage in using fall blooded boars of improved breeds on large, coarse-blooded, native sows. The progeny secures the good quality of the sire, with a better constitution and more hardiness than it could get from a full-blooded pedigree, going back through generations which bave always had ample feed and little exercise. —To a hard-working horse is as much a necessity as good food, but tired though he may be, he is often too shy to lie down, even when a good, clean bed is provided for him. Unless a borse lies down regularly his rest is never complete, and his joints and sinews will stiffen. While it is true that some horses that sleep in a stand- ing position continue to work for many years, it is equally true that they would wear much better if they rested naturally, Young, nervous horses not infrequently re. fuse to lie down when first led to the stall, and when introduced into a town stable the babit may be confirmed, unless induce. mate are offered to overcome the disinoli- on. Give aoe pigs usley weed, as they are very fond is, 8 FOR AND ABUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. Nothing is impossible to industry. —Periander of Corinth. Tie world is given as a prize toa man in earn. est.— Robertson. Choosing the Easter hat i# by no means the joke the comic papers would have us believe. In fact, to the majority of womankind is is the most important question of the Spring wardrobe, for, as every one knows, bo Ae either makes or mars the entire et. We may plan beforehand that the hat shall be pretty, of course, but practical and sensible as well. So armed with perfect confidence in onr powers to resist sartorial temptations, we sally forth to buy, but alas! such resolu- tions are apt to gradually but surely melt away once we enter the portals of she se- ductive shops and find ourselves in the hands of the subtle saleswoman. Every year resolves are made and as regularly, broken, often to our lasting sor- row, for to many of us a second Easter hat is out of the question, agd so the disap- pointment simply has to be borne literally and mentally. Ifthe past years have required sober judgment and strong resolutions, this sea- son makes double demands, for never be- fore were the models so eccentrio, or so generally unbecoming as they are for this ng. Take the very tiny taihan. Worn by a girlish lictle figure with a slender face and delicate features, the hair flaffed youth- fully, the effecs is as winsome as possible, hus how seldom she can be brought to think so! Her yearniogs, as a rule, are for the enormous all black bas, in which she looks half baoried, and which actoally de rives her of her much needed height. The same perverse fate fills the woman with a figure like a barrel and a face liken pudding, with an insatiable desire to don a decorated pill box. It must be so, or why je we see such exhibitions every day of our ves. The mushroom hats are going to be ver trying, for the wearer will be apt to loo either very smart or equally dowdy (de- pending not so much upon her type as upon the way she carries herself), for there is actually no between. A tall figure will become this drooping style, bus her shorter sister, unless of chic or style will do well to avoid is. The envelope style ie fashionable and may be chosen by the woman of full face, while if she is short as well the hrimiess effect in the front with high trimmings there will apparently add inches to her height. ' After shape comes color, though this, of course, should he determined by the tone of the gowns to be worn with the has, either harmonizing or contrasting. While it is impossible to lay down any hard and fast rales in regard to selecting a bat, afew geveral ones may be observed. A tall woman may wear a large all black bat whether she be stout or thin; a short woman under the dame conditions should avoid such a selection. The slender woman of medium height will need no special guide, but a stout woman of the same number of inches should choose her hat of medium propor- tions, neither too large nor too small, avd preferably trimmed high. A slender face will become a small hat always unless the former is too long, but in choosing for a fat face the main point to remember is to take care that the sides of the bat extend beyond the cheeks—the the front and back effects are of less impor- tance—because, if the hat is narrower than the face tbe cheeks will look larger than they really are. As a rule the saleswoman may be safely trusted as far as a becoming style is con- cerned, but of course, she cannot he expect- ed to know the condition of the pocket. book, or even any details as to the rest of the toilet to be worn with the hat in ques- tion, and so to help those who lack confi- dence in their own taste or for any other reason I offer the benefit of my own exper- ience in such matters. One of the very best annuals to be grown in the housewife’s flower garden is the aster. The wide range of size, color and season of blooming makes'it an ideal flower for the small garden. In the past few years there has been a great improvement in this flower, and now many plants will produce flowers which compare favorably with some of the better sorts of chrysanthemums. In the aster are found many delicate shades of blue, which make it a desirable flower in many instances, For July and August bloom the seed of this plant ehould be sown in the latter ball of March, if possible. If not then, by ali means during the first two weeks of April. The seed may be sown in a cold frame or in boxes in the living room if the weather is not favorable. After all danger of frost is past, they way be transplanted to the desired location. If the weather is reasonably settled, as is usually is about the first of April, the China aster and a number of other varieties may he planted in the open. e soil should be reasonably rich. If not very rich, it should receive a liberal ajp- plication of well-rotted manure with which might be mixed a little hard wood ashes. Spade up the ground to a depth of six or eight inches and thoroughly rake it till is is well pulverized. Make the drills about a half inch deep. Many times excellent results are obtain- ed by whitening the drills with airslacked lime. Then plant the seeds and cover them with a layer of fine dirs about one fourth inch thick. The dirt should be applied by | sifting it through a sieve. Fresh manure should never be applied to the bed. Two or three lumps of sugar added to boiled starch will make the clothes stiffer and more glossy. A teaspoonful of turpentine added to every quart of starch, either hot or cold, will give a brilliantly polished surface and orevent the iron sticking. In the absence of turpentine kerosene will do nearly as good work. The Dake of Rutland’s eldest daughter, Lady Marjorie Maoners, has a very strik- ing profile portrait of Margaretta Drexel, Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel’s beautiful daugh- ter, in the amateur art exhibition at Lady Naylor Leyland’s London house. Queen Alexandria is but one of many royal ladies who bear the petit nom of “Alix.” Her two nieces, Princess Alexan- dria of Hesee, who is now the widow of the Grand Duke Sergius, of Russia, and the present Tearina of Russia, are both known as “Alix.” The Empress was, in fact, christened by this name, much as Queen Victoria, of n, boasts of the diminutive ‘“‘Ena’’ among her many other names. Light of the Stars. Various attémpts have been made to estimate the light of stars. In the northern hemisphere Argelander has registered 324,000 stars down to the nine and one-half magnitude, with the aid of the best photometric data. Agnes M. Clerk's “System of the Stars” gives the sum of the light of these northern stars as equivalent to 1.440 of full moonlight, and the total light of all stars similarly enumerated in both hemispheres to the number of about 900,000 is roughly placed at 1.180 of the lunar brightness, The scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies Is difficult to evaluate. By a photograph- fc method Sir Willlam Abney in 1896 rated the total starlight of both hem- ispheres as 1.100 of full moonlight, and Professor Newcomb in 1801 from visual observations of diffused sky radiance fixed the light power of all stars at just 728 times that of Capella, or 1.89 of the light of the full moon. It is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were blotted out. Certain processes make the upper atmosphere strongly lumi- nous at times, and one never can be sure that this light is absent, Dog That Climbed a Tree. Can a dog climb a tree? A corre- spondent writes: “While on a walk on snowshoes in New Hampshire we tracked a porcupine to a balsam fir, in which it had taken refuge. My Scottish terrier climbed the tree, pull- ing herself up from branch to branch to a height of about seven feet, where a space of bare trunk separated her from the porcupine, which had watched her progress with evident alarm. The terrier made several ineffectual at- tempts to scale the smooth bark and finally jumped down into the snow.” And of another curious trait the same writer continues: “This little dog and her mate, now dead, though enthusi- astic fire worshipers at home, never sat near the bonfires built at luncheon or tea time on winter walks, but dug holes in the snow at a little distance, | in which they curled themselves up | after the manner of their primitive an- | cestors.”—Chicago News. Processes Which Defy Analysis. I think that the more thoroughly and conscientiously we endeavor to study | biological problems the more we are convinced that even those processes | which we have already regarded as ex- | plicable both by chemical and physical | laws are In reality infinitely more com- | plex and at present defy any attempts at a mechanical explanation. Thus we have been satisfied to account for the absorption of food from the alimentary | canal by the laws of diffusion and osmosis. But we now know that, as re- gards osmosis, the wall of the intestine does not behave like a dead membrane. | We know that the intestinal wall is covered with epithelium and that every | epithelial cell is In itself an organism, | a living being with the most complex | functions. We know that it takes up | food by the active contractions of its protoplasm in the same way as ob- served in independent naked animal cells.—A. Bunge. Her Valentine. . A young woman wrote about the year 1750: “The night before St. Valen- tine's day I got five bay leaves and pinned four of them to the four cor- ners of my pillow and the fifth to the middle: And then if I dreamed of my sweetheart Betty said we would be married before the year was out. But to make more sure I boiled an egg hard and took out the yolk and filled it with salt and when I went to bed ate it, shell and all, without speaking or drinking after it. into water, and the first that rose up was to be cur valentine. Mr. Blossom was my man. I lay abed and shut my eyes all the morning till he came to | our house, for I would not have seen another man before him for all the world.” Beethoven's Oddities. Beethoven used the snuffers for a toothpick. It was one of his peculiar- ities that he never allowed his servant to enter his study. He insisted that this room should remain exactly as he left it, no matter how deeply the dust lay on the precious musical scripts. He seldom looked in the glass when he tied his stock. Half the time he forgot to brush his hair. Every morning he carefully counted out sev- enteen beans from the coffee canister. These served for his breakfast. When he composed, he would pour cold wa- ter over his hands, and often people below him would coriplain of the wa- ter that soaked through his floor.

At Waikiki, near Honolulu, is a fa- mous bathing beach. Here winter and summer the surf canoes or, better yet, the surf boards come dancing in on the long rollers, and men become amphib- fous. There is no sensation quite com- parable to riding a surf board on a Pacific roller. It is tobogganing on a moving hillside of water, or, if you are clever enough to stand up on your board, it is taking this-hillside on a single big skee. The beach runs far out before it shelves into deep water, and at high tide the breakers begin to mount almost half a mile from the shore line. You go out there with your surf board and walt for the wave. You learn to catch it at the right moment, throw your board inshore and climb upon it just as the crest of the roller mounts and catches you. Then on this crest you sail in toward the shore, to slide down at last when the wave breaks, down the foaming incline into shallow water and churning foam. It is royal sport.—Travel Magazine. Strenuous Chivalry. It is complained that modern condi- tions are killing “the chivalry of the middle ages.” But mediaeval tales and romances show what that chivalry really was. Wife beating was a com- mon incident on the part of those knights and gentlemen whose gallantry was a mere convention. The Chevalier de la Tour-Landry in his book of coun- sels to his daughters tells them the story of a woman who used to contra- dict her husband in public. One day, after expostulating in vain, he knock- ed her down, then kicked her face and broke her nose. “And so,” comments the good chevalier, “she was disfig- ured for life, and thus, through her ill behavior and bad temper, she had her nose spoiled, which was a great mis- fortune to her.” But not a word is said about the husband's brutality. False Messiahs. The defense of different persons claiming to be the Messiah has cost the Jews a great expense, both in treasure and human life. One of these, Coziba, who lived in the second cen- tury of our era, put himself at the | head of the Jewish nation as their | Messiah, and many of that people ad- ! hered to and defended him. The Ro- | mans made war upon Coziba and his | followers, and, according to admissions | made by eminent Jewish authority, | they lost somewhere between 500,000 and 600,600 men in his defense. The last of these impostors was Mordecai, a German, who first claimed to be of | divine origin in the year 1682. When the authorities threatened to punish him as an impostor he fled. and his end is not known. Rapid Growth. The most remarkable instance of rapid growth was recorded by the French academy in 1720. It was a | boy six years of age five feet six inches in height. At the age of five his voice changed; at six his beard. had grown and he appeared a man of thirty. He possessed great physical strength and could easily iift to his shoulders and carry bags ot grains weighing 200 pounds. His decline was as rapid as his growth. At eight his hair and beard were gray, at ten he tottered in his walk, his teeth fell out and his hands became palsied; at twelve he died with every outward sign of esx- treme old age.
