Bellefonte, Pa. November 29, 1907. FARM NOTES. —Fertilize the orchard ; plow acd spray. —The flavor of butter is an element of value that should be carefully guarded. —A good formula for making grafting wax is : Resin, 4 parts by weight ; bees- wax, 2 parts ; tallow, 1 part. — Fruit crops are often so large that the ahuodance of one year off<ets the smallness of crops in other years. —The diiving horse is receiving more at- tention than ever before. The lack of a hreed of American driving horses is being fele. —A sheep is really in ite prime at 5 years patarally, this being an average of two- thirds or half its useful possible life under good care, —Evergreens are bardy, pretty and make excellent windbreaks. May is the proper month to plant them. Try some and beautify the dooryard. —The onion’s odor is caused by the sul- phur whiob is contained in the bulb. It is the sulphur that makes it a germicide and renders it so useful as a medicine. —Uunder average conditions a grade draft colt can be raised as fhend per pound after foaling as a steer, and will sell when 4 years old for at least three times as much. —1In some parts of the country the ques- tion of high yield of wool ie taking the place of the question of the large yield of mutton. The high wool prices have brought the change. —Unsound grain should never be fed to horses. The small amount of food requir- ed in proportion to the size of the body makes it necessary that the food be of the best quality. —Keep the bark of your trees healthy by the application of a good wash. A healthy tree, like a healthy man will with- stand the attacks of disease more easily than a weakly one. —A case is related of a valuable cow be- ing cured of a bad case of bloat, produced from eating apples, by a dose of two table- spoonfuls of gunpowder. The same remedy also cured a bad case caused by dry clover. —The man who cheerfully sets the spade where his wife directs, and lends himself willingly to her desires in the flower garden, has in him the vital elements of good citizeuship and is a sale wan to trust. —Caltivation is intended to destroy weeds, prevent the ground from drying ont and to admit the air to the soil so as to keep the plant food soluble. Cultivation does not add any water to the soil, but prevents that already there from gesting away. —When comfortable quarters are pro- vided for fowls, says Professor Watson, the nutritive ration of the food should be about 1.4 ; that is ove part protein or musole- producing compounds to fonr parts of car- bohydrates or heat and fat-producing com- pounds. — When the corners of the mouth or nose of the sheep are drawn up, givingan a pearance of great misery, that sheep is in a bad way and should be taken up with. out delay and daly cared for. Generally a dose of salts or oil, with tonic mixture after it, will right the trouble. —A sheep should never be allowed to fall off ip condition. [Ite constitution is weakened permanently. The clip of wool is serionsly injured. No animal is so diffi cult to restore to good condition as the sheep, and there is none where a loss of flesh tells so quickly upoo its ontward cov- ering. —Don’t feed heifers that are intended for the dairy large quantities of fat-pro. ducing foods, but an abundance of good hay and a limited supply of oats and corn, for the habit of laying on flesh in calfhood is liable to follow her to motherhood, and lead her to placing the results of heav feeding on her baok instead of in the mil pail. — Let the barnyard manure for the gar- den be well rotted if it is desired to culti. vate it into the soil early in the spring ; bus if coarse green manure has to be used, soatter broadcast daring the winter, and rake up or mulch part of it before plants are set in spring. Of course, this applies ps? roam that has been plowed the past —Prolessor Bailey says a weed is noth- ing more or less than a plant that is not wanted. Corp is a weed in a potato field, aod rye isa weed ina buckwheat field. Corn may be a weed ina cornfield when the corn is planted too thick. Dandelions are commonly regarded as weeds, and yet in many gardens they are grown for greens and are orops and not weeds. —These figures are large, but interesting: There are 10,438,219 larmere in the United States, with 5,739,657 farms, worth $20,- 514,001,839, the produots of which are worth $3,764,177,706, and who feed not only themselves and the rest of the eighty- four million Americans, but send 117,718,. 657 bushels of wheat, to say nothiog of 13,- 919,048 barrels of flour, to foreigners. The foreigners pay $62,061.856,for the corn and $28,757,517 and $59,106,869 for the wheat and flour.

Therein lies the seoret of the whole thing in being a soocessful dairyman. Eggs preserved four years in water glass, were recently examined by an ex- pert of the United States agrionltaral de- t aud found to have an unpleasant taste or smell and the white lated in cooking.

It is a woman's duty to be socially attractive, not statistically correst.—Home Notes. Boas big, round, fluffy, and from two to three yards long, bave ousted the hand- some scarfs of last season. They come tinted, shaded aud in mixed feathers. They will figure largely at the theater, the opera, the dance. Cock’s feathers, with the sips of the fronts finished with a tals of glossy osirieb feathers, oli and straight ostrich feathers, with little bunches of cock’s plumave among them, are the vovelties. Besides these long boas there are ueck- lets or cullars of feathers which are finish- ed with long ribbou ties or long many- stringed bead pendants varied in endless ways. Colored nets will take the place toa considerable extent of chiffon for the con struction of the separate waist. They are more satisfactory than chiffon because the costume idea of making the waist of a different fabric, bat of the sume color as the skirt and coat, can thus be carried out at a price which will appeal to women of moderate means. For Hats.—The backward trimming con tinues to floarish. Handfals of strange, soft-falling plumage is used in Pratusice in adorning the smartest models. Flowers are a favorite trimming, and large buckles made of sinsel,galoon, drawn silk and velvet are some of the smartest touches. Smooth and rough felt, long-haired bea- ver hats bid fair to establish themselves in favor for winter wear. Vying with them are large bats of velvet, the simpler ones trimmed with big bows of satin ribbon,the more decorative ones with baodsome feathers. The shady, downward tarned brim still holds its own. Prominent amoung the most elegant trim- mings of the moment are ornaments and fringes. They are found upon the ohoicest mod- els of the most exclusive designers. A sleeve is given grace by the weight of a row of heavy pendants like drops. The bodice of a simple gown acquires character with a jannty edge of listle balls of fringe of the Spanish design. Sometimes it is merely the fastening of a oloak, but invariably where there is trim- ming of any sort a motif of hand crochet is sare to be introduced. As a role it is not used in great quanti- ties, and the making of a sufficient amount to trim one’s own gown is thus rendered quite a possibility to shose who are fond of such work. For Fig Sandwiches.—Chop the figs and spread either hetween buttered bread or be- tween or slices of pound cake. For Cream Cheese Sandwiohes.—One cream cheese, one heaping tablespoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Rub these all togesher avd add ove dozen chopped olives and a few sprigs of chopped water- cress. When they are mixed until creamy spread on the bread. For Walnut Sandwiches. —Cream togeth- er one tablespoonful of batter, one-half cup of grated cheese and half a cup of fine- ly chopped English walnuts. Season with celery salt before spreading. For Chicken Saudwiches.— Prepare a mayonnaise as for veal and mix it with chopped chicken. Just before serving place a leaf of crisp lettuce from the heart of the head on the slice of buttered bread aud spread the chicken thickly over it. For Date and Almond Sandwiches. —One cap of dates and the same quantity of blanched almonds chopped and rubbed to a paste. This filling can be used with bread, pound cake or plain vanilla wafers. Brighten your carpets by wiping them over with a cloth wrung out of dilated ammonia. This has the most wonderful effect on the colors, and does not stain, as is often the case with tea leaves. When boiling cabbage use an abundance of water, add a lump of sugar and a s - ful of salt. Leave the saucepan lid off and boil very quickly.

A | martiage is always an important affair ww | France in every class of life. There are | long discuscions with all the mewbers of | the two families. The priest, the notary, | the employer (if the young mau is a work- | man, ) are all cousalied, and there are as many negotiations and agreements in the most humble families as in the great world of the Faubourg Saint Germain. Almost all French parents give a dowry of some kind to their children, and whatever the sum is, either five hundred franes or two thonvand it is always scrupulously paid over to the notary. The wedding-day isa loug ove. After the religious ceremony in the charch, all the weddivg party—members of the two families and a certain number of friends— adjourn to the hotel of the little town for a breakfast, which is long and most abun- dant. Then comes the crowning glory of the day—a country walk along the dusty high road to some wood or meadow where they can spend the whole afternoon. It is pretty to see the little procession trudging along—the bride in all her wedding gar- ments, white dress, white shoes, wreath, and veil ; the groom in a dress coat, top- hat, white cravat and waistcoat, with a white ribbon bow on his sleeve. Almost ali the girls and young women are dressed in white or light colors ; the mothers and grandmothers (the whole family turns out) in black, with flowers in their boonets. There is usnally a fiddler walking ahead making most remarkable sounds on his old cracked instrument, and the younger mem- here of the party take an occasional gallop along the road. They are generally very gay ; there is muoh laoghing, and, from time to time, a burst of song. It is always a mystery to me how the bride keeps her dress and petticoat so clean, but she does, with that extraordivary knack all Frenoh- women seem to have of holding up their skirts. They passed often under the wall of the chateau, for a favorite resting-place was in oor woods ; the moss makes a bean- tiful soft carpet, and the big trees give per- feot shade. . ; ii one day when we were passing a we stopped to look on, from behind the bush- es, where we oonldn’t be seen.—[Chatean and Country Life in France, by Madame Waddington, in October Seribner.

Doan's Kidney lis permanently cure all these disorders. Here's proof of it in a Bellefoute woman's words : Mrs. EJ H th, living on West High St, Bellefonte, Pa., says : “I suffered for years with a weakness of the kidneys sc- companied by constant, dull nagging backaches and pains across my loins. § used plasters and liniments but got no re- lief. My kidneys were weak and too fre- quent in action and | lost much sleep on this account. If I took the least cold it settled in my back and kidneys and made me feel miserable. I heard ut Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box at Green's Pharmacy. They gave me relief at once for the backache ceased and the kidneys became regular in action.
