» Bellefonte, Pa., May 17, 1907. FARM NOTES. —Do not wait until the potatoe vines are covered with beetles hefore applying Paris green, but attend to the work of destrue- tion on the first sigus of the appzarance of beetles, 80 as to avoid as m damage to the plants as possible. —The peach borer works from June to September, or rather the moth is always busy attacking the trees. Careful exami- pation should be made for the borer at least every two weeks, and if the trees show indication of being attacked cut the borers out. —It may not be known that if cow peas are mowed while the pods are very small a new growth occurs, hut such is the case, and sheep will prefer the second growth to any other. The roots of cow peas contain nitrogen, and will improve the soil, even when the tops are cat off and used. —No plant will long survive if the leaves are cat off, hence the way to destroy Cana- da thistles or other plants that persist in growing is to keep them cut down. As fast | | FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. We are more heavily taxed by our idleness, pride and folly than we are taxed by govern- ment. — Benjamin Franklin, Anything that will amuse children on the train isa boon to the wother who has a long trip to take every year with her family to 2 Summer howe. A thought ful aunt made some most appropriate pres- ents to her three little nieces as they start- ed on a journey last year. They were in the sbape of three boxes, very square and very suggestive in appearance. These were plauned after a careful study of the timetable. On the cover of one it said: “‘For Clara, open at G—,’’ paming a place just beyond the first tunnel out of the city. This created mad excitemens, which lasted through the trying moments of getting start When the train pulled ous of the blackuess and the conductor opened the doorand shouted *‘G—!"" thirty nervous listie fingers were flattering over the big bard kuot of hiae ribbon. The hox opened and on the top lay a pack of cards with domino figures on them. These were new to the children, who had played with var- ious sorts of wooden and ivory dominoes and were food of inventing variations on the old-fashioned game. The second box, labeled ‘*Ada, to be opened at M—,"" was nearly forgotten in the interest in the game of dominoes, It as they appear above the ground cat them was opened, however, and disclosed a tiny and as they will become weaker after each cutting, there arrives a time when they can no longer grow. —All kinds of coarse food can be render- ed serviceable by judicious combination of the ration. Even cut straw will be eaten if bran and oil meal are added to it. Fod- der can be made acceptable to stock hy preparation, and hay may be fed with other foods in a manner to make the whole ration very palatable. —I% is time lost, and broken backs, to " undertake the planting of garden seeds by band. Use a drill, which puts the seeds in regularly and evenly, marks the rows and covers them as the right depth. There are maoy handy little implements suitable for the garden that are not in frequent use. Even a trowel does excellent service in transplanting, and a weeder will tear out the weeds much quicker than can be done by band. —When a man goes ont nowadays to buy a good horse, he must take along from $150 to $200. Let's try to have one to sell,now and then. It is all right to sell the best geldings, when it can be done to good advantage, but don’t sell the hest mares. It is like killing the goose that lays the golden 3 bat with the present scarcity and high prices, many farmers have made this very mistake. Only the ehoiciest mares should be used for breeders. —Families that keep only one cow should endeavor to have the hest animal that can be procured. More labor is required to care for a single cow, proportionately, than for a herd. A cow for the family should give a large flow of milk for at least 10 months of the year, and the milk should contain not less than 4 per cent. of butter fat as cream is ove of the essentials. It is better to bave a cow that gives even richer milk, but the majority of family cows are selected without regard to merits in that respect. It is difficult to rear the calves in such cases, hence in purchasing the family cow it will be profitable. —No vegetable is more popular than the Lima bean, and it is suitable for all classes of persons, as well as for all manner of dishes. The difficnlty with Lima beaos is the poles, which are sometimes expensive; bus if strings are used, as is dove for the climbing flowers, the vines will grow aud thrivé equally as well. All that is neces: sary is to keep them off the ground, aod it is not necessary to pole them if inconven- ient. The late crop should be a large one, not only for the purpose of supplying the family with a sufficiency of green ones for the table, but also that they may be dried and laid aside for winter. If stored away they are very serviceable at that sea- son, as they may then be soaked and used for the same purposes as when they are green. The dwarf varieties do not require poles. —1It is always best to start with a full colony of bees, and one that is in every respect in first-class condition. It is true that one can buy a part of a colony for less money, but it is the dearest in the long run, and more liable to be a fallure. A strong colony of bees in one season is capa- ble of storing 100 or 200 pounds of honey; besides, they may swarm and make from one to two colonies, Bees should always be in condition to take care of themselves, aud do not require such difficult manipu- lation as that of a nucleus, or pounds, of bees, and a queen, eto., as full and strong colonies are now sent in the ordinary hives used in the apiary, and are equipped with the necessary fixtures to have everything in working order the moment the hees are located and the entrance open. —There have heen many disputes as to where potatoes originated or were first dis- covered. Some persons claim that tnbers were first grown in America while others declare their bome was in Ireland. Accord- ing to Prol. Samuel Fraser, of the Cornell Experiment Station, the potato sometimes called white potato, Irish potato, Eoglish or round potato, is a native of the elevated valleys of Chile, Peru, and Mexico, one form even being found as far north as Southern Colorado. The potato was intro- duced into the eastern section of the United States in the latter part of the six- teenth century, and returning colonists Jrobanly took them from there to England. e name Irieh potatoe has been generally accepted, because it grows so well in Ireland, and is valued so highly by the Irish as a native food. ~Itacoltis found to be very head- strovg, throw him. Be kind ana quiet, bas firm. Pat a good strong halter on him. Take a strap with a ring in is and buckle it around the off fore leg just below the fet- lock joint. Buokle a surcingle around his body, fasten one end of a rope to it and pass it through the ring in the strap. Take Jour position on the right side of bim, bring the rope over his back from the off side, and pull his foot ap to his body 20d keep it oh Pal Bis head around you, press nst y repeat the words: “The down!" When he is down and has given up, loose the rope, handle him all over, pet him, and then tell him to get up. This lesson seldom has to be repeated. It gives him to understand that you are his master, and he will thereafter usually obey every suggestion. Put all the harness in good condition be- fore the spring work comes on. Japanese Lan to cool the hot air of the train By the time game and fan were beginning to lose their charms the third box came dne. This one contaived on the top a game of questions and answers, on the priveipal cities of the world. This proved moss di. verting, and was barely under way before Clara discovered that the second package in her box was waiting to be opened. This was a little folding drinking cup, just right for getting water from the cooler. When at last the resources of the cities and the possibilities of the water tank were both running dry, the announcement of P— tamed them eargerly to the next lit- tle pasket. This held a checker and hack- gammon hoard, with men, which occupied a long gap before the next surprise. So it rap, first a game of some form of amuse. ment and then a present. Each hox contained, heside the packages for different stations, a bundle marked, ‘In case of delays anywhere along the live for more than five minutes open this.” These little packages looked so exciting that every time the train stopped for any reason, instead of fretting to go on, they eagerly hung over their mother’s watch, hoping it might be a delay. Finally one stop did last nine minutes, and one of the surprises proved to be a silly Jumping Jack witha grin, and a tag on hia cap saying “‘Can’t you sit still?"’ The other two were also jokes and caused a great deal of fun. The parcel which fell doe nearest noon contained dainty adjanets to a train lunch- eon. One was a box of wafers, another of candied ginger and a third three rows of pink and white peppermint and winter- green drops. : A similar plan for shortening a journey was that devised by a youov girl whose in- timate friend was going away for several weeks. She wrote quotations that they both knew and snatches of songs they were fond of on listle slips of paper, folded them neatly, like doctor’s powders, and put them in a drug box. On the top she wrote, ““Take one every half hour, and an extra one when needed.”” They proved cheering on the lonely journey. Fhe quotations were 80 oleverly selected and were so sug- gestive of good times past and to come that they shook off the pall of homesickness and elicited a new burst of enthusiastic letter- writing after each one. Another diverting home-made present was given toa departing comrade by a group of her friends. It was a box of en- velopes, each numbered, stamped and di- rected to a different one of the group and each containing several sheets of paper, at the top of which were questions to he an- swered ina letter. The package also con- tained a fountain pen, as a parting present, and a blotter, while at the bottom was a box of candy to be eaten only when the letters were finished. A great deal is said of the attitude of the girl graduate toward the bome. It is time that something was said of the attirude of the home toward the girl graduate. Too frequently the parental view of education is that it is completed when the diploma is in band, and that now having enjoyed every advantage that a college can give, the girl shoul® return to her home to make her- self solely a part of its social life, and to disseminate the light which she bas been so long gaining. The rights of young womanhood for larger development, which are really at the base of the willingness of every parent to sacrifice for the education of the child, do not cease at graduation. It isa very poor investment that the parent makes if every opportunity for this developement is cat off the moment the student turns her back up- on the college. These four years have awakened new energies of mind and soul which muss bave satisfaction, and opened pew vistas of truth and of activity which must not be closed because of the pressure of prolessional or domestic or social life. Just here the responsibility of the bome for the education of the girl must continue, It must be remembered shat the girl has passed from a v ry large and most generous life in- to what is, not in importance, hut io rela- tionships, comparatively narrow. All the fulluess of the life of youth is gathered aboat her through four years, with that lack of responsibility of anything beyond which can not easily continue outside of sohool aud college life. The home should recognize this and should be patient in waiting for the adjustment which is often necessary, and which will always come if the parent is wise, and if the girl has the attitude of the average student. But something more than patience is called for. It we havespent our time in training our girls in science, history, phil- osophy, literature, and art, we assuredly should recognize, since we have been hroad enough to educate them at all, the desira- bility of their continuing that education and the necessity therefore of some time for reading and study. Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else the average home is at fault— iu failing to provide by the arrange- ment of duties, domestic and social, for at least moderate opportunities of reading How easy it would be for the home to recognize that an hour or two hours in the day should be understood to belong to the girl for her own study. Parents frequent. ly resent this withdrawing from what is called the family life, in forgetfulness of the larger good that must come to every member of the household through the con- tinued advantage of the one. Remember that the college course has been an invest- ment. Remember that it has opened the mind of the student to new interests, large ud | broad, which ought to be kept and ALL SPAIN IS REJOICING Madrid, May 10.—The news that the direct male succession to the throne of Spain had been assured by the birth of a son to Queen Victoria sent a thrill of rejoicing throughout the country, and the happy event is being celebrated from one end of the land to another. Queen Viciotia and the child are doing well. The hurried departure of royal mes- sengers from the palace to summon the courtiers and the members of the diplomatic corps gave the first indica- tion that the birth was imminent. The usual gathering outside the palace court yard was soon swelled by im- mense throngs of the excited populace, who watched the continual gtream of brilliantly uniformed personages driv- ing up to the royal residence and tried to identify the individuals. The crowd awaited in suspense until nearly 1 o'clock, when the thundering out of the first cannon shot signified that the royal accouchment was over. The reports were counted anxiously until the 15th, and then a complete silence ensued. The seconds appeared as hours until the 16th shot boomed forth, and the continuation until the 21st had been fired informed the pub- lic that the royal child was a son. The 16th report brought forth a ring- ing cheer, and at the same time the roval standard was hoisted over the palace, and it was known that no mis- take had been made. The people danced with joy and embraced each other, shouting, “Long live the king! Long live the queen!” They then rushed from the spot, carrying the news to the furthermost points of the city. Soon after the royal salute the flags of Spain and Great Britain were raised over the public buildings of Madrid. Business houses closed for the re- mainder of the day as a sign of re- joicing. In the meanwhile the solemn cere- mony of presentation was being car- ried on in the palace. The mis- tress of the robes, carrying a huge silver tray, upon which was lying the | newly-born royal baby, accompanied | by King Alfonso, and Premier Maura | appeared in the ante-chamber, where the courtiers had assembled. The young monarch appeared, full of joy, and the premier, raising the drapery which covered the infant on the sil ver tray, said: “Gentlemen, it is a prince.” The. solemn dignitaries thereupon forgot all etiquette, and cheered both the king and queen heartily. The minister of justice, Marquis Figueroa, made out the birth certifi- cate, which was signed by all the prominent personages present. The gathering then breke up. The cabinet drew up and later pre- sented King Alfonso for his signature decrees transferring the title of heir presumptive from Prince Charles of Bourbon to the new-born prince. TWELVE COSTLY ROOMS Pennsylvania Capitol Probers Discover More Gross Overcharges. Harrisburg, Pa., May 11.—The com- bined cost to the state of furnishing the two suites in the basement of the new capitol, known as the senate and house pasting and folding rooms, was $252,485.34, according to the prelimi- nary report of the auditors of the capitol investigating commission. The six senate rooms cost $126,291.37, and the six house rooms $126,193.97. This ' money was divided between the Penn- : sylvania Construction Company, which collected $241,419.14 for metallic fur- nishings; John H. Sanderson, who was paid $2871.80 for chandeliers, thermos- tats and chairs, and George F. Payne & Co., who collected $6733.20 for par- quetry flooring. Architect Huston was paid a commission of nearly $10,000 for designing the furnishings in these suites. DIED OF EXPOSURE Coroner's Jury Renders Verdict on Death of Horace Marvin, Jr. Dover, Del, May 14. — The jury which has been investigating the death of Horace Marvin, Jr., rendered the following verdict: “That Horace N. Marvin, Jr, came to his death from exposure the 4th day of March, 1507." There were fifteen members of the coroner's jury, but only 12 of the mem- bers voted for the exposure verdict. The other three refused to vote. Charged With Killing His Father. Etna, N. J., May 14.—Charged with killing his father, Charles Longon, an Italian, aged 16 years, was arrested. Longon told the police that he had quarreled with his father, Joseph Lon- gon, and that, fearing violence, he armed himself with a revolver. His father attempted to take the weapon from him, the boy said, and it was discharged by accident. Joseph Lon- gon was shot in the mouth and in- stantly killed. WHEAT TOUCHES $1 ‘Wild Scene On Chicago Board of Trade As Price Rises. Chicago, May 14.—In the most sen- sational opening in the history of the Chicago Board of Trade wheat shot past the dollar mark. ‘leavy realiz- ing sales pushed the price backward somewhat, but at the close the market was strong and, according to the ma- jority of speculators on the board, the demand upon which the late advance as been made is still unsatisfied. The net advance for wheat was 4 cents for the July and September options, and 414 cents for the December option. From the low point of Monday of last week July wheat has advanced 13%. September has gone up 15%. In the December option the high point was 16% above the low price of last week. As soon as figures could be register- ed in the confusion the July option sold anywhere between 93 and 94, which was up 13% to 5% above the closing price of last week. December showed a wider range than either of the other options, as the opening quo- tations for December ran at all figures between 9614 and 103, prices which were 11% to 8 cents above the final quo- tations of Saturday. The rush of buying orders seemed to come from almost every town in the United States. They came from Winnipeg and from Louisiana, and from points on the Pacific and Atlantic seahoards. CROP REPORT UNFAVORABLE Winter Wheat Condition 82.9, With De. crease In Area Under Cultivation. Washington, May 11.—The following crop bulletin was issued: The crop re- porting board of the bureau of statis- tics of the department of agriculture, from the reports of the correspondents and agents of the bureau, finds the area under winter wheat remaining in cultivation on May 1 to have been |. about 28,132,000 acres, This is 11.2 per cent.,, or about 3,533,000 acress, less than the area reported as sown last fall, and about 1,468,000 acress less than the area of winter wheat reported as harvested last year. The average condition of the grow- ing winter wheat crop on May 1 was 82.9 as compared with 89.9 on April 1, 1907; 90.9 on May 1, 1906; 92.5 on May 1, 1905, and 85.5, the mean of the May averages for the last 10 years. The average condition of winter rye on May 1 was 88.0, as compared with 92.0 on April 1, 1907; 92.9 on May 1, 1906; 93.5 on May 1, 1905, and 89.5, the mean of the May averages of the last 10 years. MARYLAND CROPS RUINED Unseasonably Cold Weather Does Great Damage. Baltimore, May 13.—Most unseason- ably cold weather was experienced throughout Maryland, and from many sections of the state come reports of damage to crops, especially to straw- berries, tomatoes and early potatoes. While this is particularly true of the western and mountainous sections, re- ports of frost and damage come also from the eastern shore trucking sec- tion. Easton, Talbot county, reports the heaviest white frost in recent vears, with considerable damage to strawberries and tomatoes. Cambridge, Salisbury, Ridgely and Denton all re- port frost, with varying degrees of damage. Ice formed at Flintstone, Westminster and Ellicott City, the last named only a few miles from this city. All northern and western sections re- port damage to tender vegetation. PLANNED TO STEAL $1,000,000. Bank Clerk's Scheme to Escape Prose. cution For Smaller Thefts. New York, May 14.—Details of a confession made by William O. Doug- las, former loan clerk of the Trust Company of America, are to the effect taht, acting on the advice of a lawyer, he planned to steal $1,- 000,000 of securities in order to compel the trust company to overlook his mi- nor thefts. Douglas has already plead- ed guilty to larceny and is awaiting sentence. According to his confession, he first took small quantities of bonds, and, borrowing money on them, lost it in speculating. When it was evident that he could not retrieve his losses a lawyer was consulted, who advised that the only way out c¢. the dilemma was to steal $1,000,000 worth of securities and turn them over to the lawyer, who might negotiate with the officials of the trust company for their return. Douglas’ understanding was that the lawyer expected to get $200,000 from the trust company for the restoration of the securities, which would have been sufficient to cover the amounts Douglas had aiready borrowed and lost. Penna. House Passes Pension Bill. Harrisburg, Pa., May 14.—The Coch- ran soldiers’ pension bill passed the house finaliy by the vote of 196 to 1. The bill provides pensions of from $5 to $10 a month for Pennsylvania sol- diers, sailors and marines of the Civil War, according to the length of ser- vice. PECULIAR TO ITSELF Medical.
