Bellefonte, Pa., May 24, 1907. FARM NOTES. —Fine, clean grit should be the first thing eaten by little chicks. — Early maturity for market means con- siderable in making up the profits. —The butter will not come as quickly when the churn is almost full of cream. -=Feleh says the light brahma will grow a broiler to weigh two pounds at eight weeks of age. —A poand of napbtbaleen dissolved in a gallon of coal oil makes an excellent lice paint for the roosts. ——Stale (but not moldy ) bread moistened with milk is one of the best first foods for chicks and duckliogs. —A poorly bred thoroughbred is worse than a serub. Serub treatment will make serubs of thoroughbreds. —Keep the calves away from the torture of flies. Remember that the future pros- perity of the dairy is dependent upon these calves. —When the rye shall be ready for feed- ing do not tarn the stock upon it, especial- ly if the ground should be damp, as more damage would be thereby done the rye from being trampled under the feet of steck than from grazing it. —O0ld fields that have neen abandoned should be plowed and a green crop of some kind be grown (even if only afew inches of growth can be obtained), and the crop turned. This is better than to allow it to remain in fallow. . —Do not forget the plant herbs in the garden. Many persons negleot such ad- juncts to a garden, bat they are often of great service and occupy but little space. Some of them, once obtained, will last for several years, aud entail little or no labor. —A small gain per acre on a large farm amounts to considerable for the whole. Two bushels more of wheat per acre, five of corn or oats, a quart more milk per day from each cow, or a slight daily gain over the average in weight of fattening etock,all greatly assist iu changing loss into profit. — When land is worth $50 an acre it should he devoted to that which pays best and whioh gives the largest return for the money invested. An experienced dairy- man once contented thas no farmer conld keep a cow giving hut 3 per cent. butter fat on high-priced land. Soch farmers must have cows that give 4 or 5 per cent. butter fat in the milk. —All yonng animals quickly learn to eat ground oats, and there is no food that gives such quick results as oats, For young lambs 1t is excellent, and mixed with milk it forces voung pigs in growth rapidly. Even colts and calves will thrive on ground oats when other foods do not agree with them. It makes profitable gain at a small cost compared with other foods. —Preventing the spread of fungus dis- eases could be accomplished hetter by de- stroying the branches and vines that are cut away from trees and bushes than by the use of other methods. It is not sufficient to remove the portion of trees affected with hlack knot. They should be consigned to the flames, as no remedy is as sure in the destruction in the spores as fire. —There are many grades of butter on the market, and it may be safe to state that huodreds of farmers’ wives do not know how to make good butter. Each one has some methodical manner of performing the work, learning nothing, and increasing the cost and labor, only toput on the market an article to be sold at a low price because buyers will not take it as long as they can get vomething better. —Manure made in summer wastes much faster than it does in winter. The warm weather hastens its decomposition. It is easy to prevent serious loss, however, by keeping the excrement piled and so cover- ed with earth that no ammonia can escape. Where cows are allowed to lie in the barn- yard during the night mach of their liquid voidings is wasted. All such wastes de. tract from the profit of dairying, when, as milk and butter prices sometimes are, the most must be made of everything to keep the balance on the side of profit. —There are some exhibitors at poultry shows who claim that it is perfeotly easy to train a bird to stand erect and be exhib- ited. The men that make this claim gen- erally try to carry it ont hy practice. For weeks before they exhibit their fowls they confine them in coops similar to the ones that are to be used in the exhibition. In feeding the birds in these coops they place the food so high that the birds will have to reach for it. They claim that by this means they make it easier for the bird to stand erect when it is being judged. —How many of those who in spring go to the fields and slowly dig out among frase aud etones a mess of dandelion greens now that this crop is more satisfactorily grown in the garden ? The improved calti- vated dandelion is much larger, is more easily cleaned and also freer from insects than that gathered in the fields. It is safe to say that whoever prooures and sows a kage of the improved dandelion seed in is garden will never be willing thereafter to depend upon the uncultivated supply that can be gotten from the pasture los. —Dr. Kelier, of Zurich, asserts that spiders are doing most important work in preserving the forests by protecting trees agaivst devastations on the part of insects. Dr. Keller opened the intestives of a large number of spiders and found that they are voracious enemies of the most noxious in- seots. According to his idea, spiders are more beneficial to the maintenance of for- ests than all the insect-eating birds put to- gether. Forestry commissiorers and other interested people have taken up the sub- ject, and prizes are offered for the propaga- tion and distribution of insect-eating epid- ers in forests. —An animal that is growing requires a more complete ration than one that is wa- tured, for it bas not only to supply bodily waste, but also to build up the frame and inorease in carcass. If the same kind of food fed to a growing animal be given to uae thas a matured e egess will be void- rom the body as manure, simply because the animal cannot appropriate Ny In the face of these facts many farmers feed all classes of stock together, making no dis- tinction between the growing steer or productive cow, the young or the matured, and do not consider that butter and milk are very different in composition, and that special feeding materials must be provided, ssqurdiog to the objects fulfilled by each animal. ' among the bride's own particular circle of FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. | DAILY THOUGHT. Learn to say no, and it will be of more use to you than to be able to read Latin, —Spurgeon, | The latest reticuie« to he carried with | the smart afternoon gowns are in hand embroidered cloth of gold, says Dress. The | frames are exquisitely haud-wrought in old | English flat chased work with the chain in | small gold links. | A novelty in the fabric is to base it in- | laid with fancy stones carrying ont the | color scheme of the gown with which it is | to he used. Some of these dainty little | bags have a small case on the centre, within a rim of gold set with stones, and shows a tiny miniatare watch, The ever popular beading for bags is be- ing made up in an entirely new manner ; the floral design is carried out in shades of old and new ivory on & groundwork of dove gray. Brown bags and purses are the fad of the season, and in alligator, pigskin. cowhide and various other leathers tanned or color- ed in this fashionable shade are now being carried hy the *‘chic.”” Some of the purses are long, others are short, and are severely plain or artistically ornate. There is an almost endless num- her of designs to choose from this year, in form as well as in color. For morning and shopping the plain bag of medium size in leather with strap han- dles is considered the most serviceable and practical model, while the smaller bag of dull suede or glossed kid, effectively mount- ed with silver, gold or artistically studded with tiny nail heads, is carried for dressy street wear. Big brooches are in very great favor at present. They are really big ones, such as were worn two generations ago. There is nothing demure about them; they are very striking and eff:ctive usually oval in shape. They are sometimes three inches long. Most of the large ones are ornamented hy a single semi-precious stone. The stone makes the brooch, for the setting is simply a narrow rim. Amethyst and topaz seem to outnumber other transparent stones used for these big brooches, and are more fashionable than such as garnet, peridot and aquamarine Turquoise mutrix, cameo, agate, jade, coral and so forth are popular as the filling of pins set with opaque stones. Perhaps the most popular is the turgnoise matrix. The pale hlnish green stone, which has heen such a favorite of late years, undonbtedly owes its popularity to the fact of its being becoming to women in general, be they hrunette or blonde, and of due effect when worn with almost any color. Lovely little things now come to make ! the gown more feminine than before. The flat lace wrist bag, covered with antique lace and lined with silk to match the gown, can he mentioned as one of these fascinating small things which every wom- an would like, Those who make these bags at home can select for a pattern a circle as large as a tea plate. Two stiff pieces of pasteboard are covered with lace over silk, and the bag is finished by an ap- plication of lace where the pieces join. All the necessitivs for a vanity bag are fitted within. When in donbt as to what gift to give a bride-elect, who is a near friend, get her up an antograph recipe hook. Not the plain, ordinary cook hook such as one pur- chases in the shops, hut one made up friends, each one contributing a recipe for which she can vouch. \ The first thing in nursing, the first es. sential to the patient, without which all else yon do is as nothing, is to keep the air he breathes as pure as the external air with- out chilling him. Always have the window of vour pa- tient’s room open, but not a window on a passage just outside. Place the bed in the lightest spot in the | room, and he should be able to see out of the window. The hest bed is an iron bedstead, a half mattress,no curtains or vallance, very light | blankets for a covering, as weak patients | are always distressed by weight in bed | clothes. Cleanliness of the skin in almost all die- eaves is of the utmost importance. Care should be taken in sponging or washing not to expose too great a suiface at once so as to check perspiration. Never allow a patient to be waked ont of sleep, either intentionally or accidental- ly, as this does serious harm. Do not whisper or walk on tip-toe,as this is pecaliarly painful to the sick. Remember never to lean against, sit upon, shake or even touch the hed upon which your patient lies; this is always an annoyance. Do not talk or allow your patient to talk while taking his meal. Chicken in Virginia style is the favorite dish of a Virginia family transplanted to these shores is chickens smothered in to. matoes exactly as the children’s mammy used to do it in the old Richmond home. A chicken is boiled about half done in just enough water to cover it. Then the liquor is turned off and tomatoes enough to cover the meat are turned in, the kettle is cover: ed and the mixtore is simmered until the chicken is very tender. It is then seasoned with hatter, salt and paprika and is served with rice. Marshmallow panouche is made by boil- ing to a candy a cup of brown sugar, two tablespoonfals of buster and hall a cup of cream; boil until it ‘‘threads’’ and add a dozen and a half of chopped marshmallows, balf a pound of chopped hazelnuts and vanilla flavoring extract to taste.

HRS CHATTELS OF LOST SEAMEN. i i A Strange Storchouse of Strange Things, Where the Belongings of Those Who Have “Gone Over the Side” at Sea Are Kept Until Claimed. “Messages from the sea.” There are | 200 or 300 waiting delivery in London at this moment, and the gray romance clinging about them is heightened by the knowledge that the greater part will never be called for. Down by the flocks, amid the mud and lumber of that wonderful place, is an unpreten- tious building, and in the vaults be- low, in a catacomb of old clothes and queer baggage, are stocked the be- longings of those who have gone down to the sea in ships and never returned. Now and then, but not often, a pale woman it may be troubles the serenity of that cloak room of the dead and, be- ing conducted below, Is guided through the maze of ownerless baggage until presently, with a start, she cries out: “That's Bill's bag, mister—the one just over your ‘ead! I knows it by the patch I sewed in afore he started.” And while the woman waits, wide eyed, her guide reads from the white government label tied to the sailor's sack: “William Smith, A. B., ship Southern Star. Washed overboard, Desolation strait.” “That's 'Im,” says the wife, gulping down her sorrow, and the great bag is pulled from its resting place looking like a badly packed Christmas stock- ing, warty and bulging in odd corners with the dead seaman’s belongings. And on top are lashed his worn sea boots and a rough parcel in thin for- eign paper which they found under the pillow in his bunk. Hard usage and sea spray have played havoc with the thin rice paper, and the secret that Bill was guarding so jealously appears in the form of a dainty flazen haired doll, with mild blue eyes, calculated to | fascinate the heart of any little maid | at sight. i “Al,” cries the woman, proud for the | moment of her husband remem: | brance, “that's for Minnie. He sald he would bring it—or send it,” she adds, with unconscious pathos, “if he could | not come himself.” And she hides the | doll in her shawl and in an outburst of emotion goes off with her find, and Bill | disappears forever from history. i 4 There they lie in neatly ordered rows, those old canvas bags, each with its terse official label dangling from it, a fine, faint odor of foreign climes per- vading the gray dusk of the passages. Yet what a storchouse of romance they represent, wiat an inspiration for some Teufeldrokh of the salt water! There is an individuality about every homely package. What, for instance, was the fate of the poor ‘prentice lad who owned that duck bolster and where is the mother whose gentle fingers stitch- ed his initials on it 30 lovingly? The grim simplicity of the official detalls merely describes him as “missing,” and that's the end of it. Poor mother! In the next recess lie the worldly goods of a North sea whaler. You can still smell the sperm oil distinctly when you come within three yards of them. There is an accordion on top of the pile, with all the music long since out of it, and a half carved walrus tusk beside it, with a picture of the dead man's ship on one side and on the oth- er a symbolic sketch of himself at home, one hand round his wife's waist and a joyously large tankard of beer held aloft in the other. A little farther on is a sea stained bag, a flute and an opium pipe, crossed saltire on top—that is, the escutcheon, overboard somewhere in the roaring forties. Luckless heathen! It will be a long swim hom: thence to the ances- tral burial place by the Yellow river. And still a little farther on, amid the jumble of pathos and poverty, of com- monplace and high romance, of seéa chests and bags and baskets, in a cor- ner where those things are put which have waited longest unclaimed, is an old portmanteau, gray with dust, yet obviously of better class than its com- panions in misfortune. You turn its creaking hinges gently, expecting tar- paulins and sou'westers, and there, spoiled and yellow, but arranged with feminine grace, is a bride's outfit, ev- erything unused down to the modestly folded white gloves, rusty as their but- tons, and on the bosom of the dress is a photograph faded beyond recogni tion, with a prayer book by it and a rose leaf still marking the marriage service. / © strange a storehouse of strange things as any in the big city is this un- claimed property office of the docks, and if few go to its gray corridors to search for traces of the missing still fewer come away in a talkative mood. —Pall Mall Gazette.

The Bride Collects the Gifts, Which Must Be In Money. If you receive an invitation to a wed- ding in Little Servia on the west side, you must not buy a present and take it with you or send it. That would be bad form, and the bride would proba- bly feel insulted, but when you went to the wedding you would take with you the price of the present in money. At the wedding you would find sev- | - eral hundred men and women all mak- ing strange motions and talking in a strange, excited manner. After the guests had assembled—and everybody in the colony would be wel- comed—a young woman would pass around the wedding cake. Behind her would come the bride carrying a silver platter, and upon this she would collect the money given as presents. At the majority of weddings the platter is piled high with silver dollars, and around the edges are bills of various denominations, from $5 to $20. It is not uncommon for a bride to receive £1,000 in cash, This amount, it must be remembered, is given by men who are mostly laborers in the packing houses. Sometimes the groom passes cigirs, aml every guest will take a cigar and hand him a dollar, Another custom is to place a dollar in the large glass of whisky and every man take a drink, each drink costing a dollar. These weddings are a great feast for the guest, and there is always plenty to eat, and sometimes the groom rents a hall where all may dance.—Kansas City Star. THE SPEAKER'S DIGNITY. Ancient Ceremonies That Survive In the House of Commons. “Hats off, strangers, for the speak- or,” the constables standing in the lob- by entrance of the English house of commons cry as they come to atten- tion. “IIats off! Way for the speaker!” is the command given by the police in- spector in the so called lobby, which is really the antechamber of the house. At once, as when the muezzin calls the faithful to prayer, there is silence and respect, and heads are bared. The speaker is about to leave his palace ad- joining the house to take his seat. “Mr. Speaker,” according to A. Maurice Low in Appleton’s Magazine, is a very great dignitary. By law he is “the first com- moner” and is given official precedence over every other commoner in the king- dom. During his term of office he re- ceives a salary of $25,000 a year, the only member of parliament not a mem- ber of the government who is in receipt of a salary. He is provided with an official residence which is mainta. sed at public expense. To keep him in the straight and narrow way spiritually he his has private chaplain. To enable him to walk In the devious ways of the law he has his private counsel. To minister to his comfort and conven- fence and dignity he has a private sec- retary, a train bearer and a messen- ger. And when he retires he is raised to the peerage with a pension of $20,- 000 a year for life. Mr. Speaker has now left his resi- dence and in stately and picturesque procession is entering the corridor that leads to the house. He Is preceded by an usher. Then comes the sergeant at arms in a black coat open at the breast to show the daintiest of white cambric ruflles, knee breeches, black buckles, with a rapier on his hip. The sergeant at arms, who is appointed by the king personally, although he is an officer of the house of commons, is paid a salary of $6,000 a year and has an official res- idence. He carries the great glittering mace on his shoulder and is followed by two doorkeepers, who wear knee breeches, silk stockings and coats and waistcoats of the conventional evening cut, their wide expanse of shirt front partly covered by a gold chain sus- pended around the neck and meeting in a large gold badge. Then comes the speaker in huge wig and silk gown, which is held up by his train bearer, followed by the gowned figure of the chaplain, with two doorkeepers to close 33 a Bb o 2 i ed, and again the vol is heard crying to the faithful, “Speak- Jjoors SARSAPARILLA Has cured so many cases that seemed almost ask, Why?

Saddlery. When a team runs away it is usually the result of carelessness ; the reins are loosely beld, the horses break away and in a short time are beyond control. There isa run- away disease called ‘‘galloping consump- tion,” and that runaway, like the other, is usually the result of carelessness. The neglected cold, the cough unchecked, bron- chial affection developed, depleted vitality, blood too little in quantity and too poor in quality to nourish the body and renew the wasting tissue; then the runaway gallop of disease which cannot be checked. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is con- fidently commended as a cure for diseases of the respiratory organs; obstinate coughs, bronchitis, ‘‘weak lungs,’’ spitting of blood and like forms of disease which if neglected or unskillfolly treated lead to covsump- tion.
