Bellefonte, Pa., December 6, 1907. FARM NOTES. —1In 1690 the city of Philadelphia main. tained a “town bull.” —Satisfied with the varieties in the orch- ard? If not, now is a good time to decide ag which trees had better be grafted pext spring. -—A farmers’ institute bulletin says that mulberries make splendid shade trees for the poultry yard, and the fowls devour the berries. —1t is estimated that an average 1000 pound cow will daring the year consume two *ons of hay and one ton of feed, besides pasture. —The State Veterinarian of Nebraska says it is unwise to ring the noses of hogs. If they bave plenty of sait and ashes they will root very little. —If the pigs root out, dig a trench one foot deep beside the fence, and tack poul- try wire netting to the posts. Their sen- sitive noses will avoid it. —Watoh the peach and otber trees care: fully for weak orotohes. A few well-ap- plied bolts, where needed, may save loss when wind storms come. Do it now. —Nearly all varieties of pears are better if ripened indoors. The proper time to gather pears is shown by the ease with whioh the stem parts from the hranch, when the froit is slightly lifted. —If the pears and quinoes are soabby and oracked, and if the leaves have prema: surely dropped from the trees, it’s a sure hint that you negleoted to spray with Bor- deanx mixtare early in the season. —A sheep is very partionlar about eat ing at the first table. It will not touch hay that bas been nosed over by other stook. So with corn and oats, they do not like the grain that rats have played over. —Dead branches on fruit or other trees are a draft on the vitality of the tree, re- gusring nearly or quite as much moistare as the living. In removing such dead branches the cut should be olose and smooth. —A good breeding sow is one that is rather roomy and long, with well-sprung ribs, broad loin,deep sides and some length of neck. The sire should be shorter, more compact and with finer bone, which type iudicates early maturity. —Dr. Johu Funk, State pomologist of Pennsylvania, says that apples in cold storage next spring will bring $° and $9 per barrel. Dealers in the East are now farnishing barrels and paying $3 and $4 for all the apples they can get. —The essential points for prodacing sanitary milk are a healthy berd, quar tered in a clean, well-ventilated and well lighted stable, cared for and milked by olean attendauts, and the produot stored in olean utensils in a clean room. —One who has tried it says that the most successful treatment that he has found for nail wonnds in horses’s feet is to olean out the wound and pour fall of hot tallow or lard. This seems to give very little paiv, and one treatment generally cures. —Barn cellars for the storing of manure are not much in nse in this country. The easiest plan for bandling the manure is to haul it out onto the land as soon as a load has accumulated, unless it ocontaine corn- stalks and other materials that need time for disintegration. —There can always be a lot of good corn fodder used during the winter and spring on the ordinary farm, where from a dozen to 20 cows are kept doing their best at milk. It will soon be ‘“‘everlastiogly too late” to ous corn for fodder, as is will scon be po! the stage for making the best feed, if the frost does not oatoh it. —When a sow becomes weak, showing a disposition to drag ite hind parts, a dose of Epsom salts in the swill for several days will generally effect a care. Dissolve one or two ounces, according to age, in hot water, and mix with her drink. Also put three drope of tincture of nux vomica in the teed three times a day. Feed ground oats and bran, but no corn. —Goats are hrowsers, not grazers, and prefer weeds and brush to grass. Angoras will live and thrive in any climate that a sheep will. They are prolific breeders, and roductive shearers until 12 years old. ey are not as milkers as the Maltese or Swiss goats, but they give plenty for rearing their young. On the average ibe Angora goat lives a dozen years, a is in ite prime between the ages of 2 and 6. —Some veterinaries olaim that there is no drug that will kill bots in horses, but others say thas the juice of raw Irish pota- toses will kill them instantly. For im- mediate relief, grate raw potatoes, add water enough to pour out of a bottle and drenoh the horse. Horses fed raw potatoes as regularly ae ealt is given them, will not be troubled with bots. For horses that are not used to potatoes, cus or grate them and mix with their food. —The following poison is one that both rats and mice are particularly fond of, and yet it is claimed to be harmless to dogs, cats and other domestic animals: ix three parts squills and one cf sugar pow- der,and spice with fennel essence sprinkled op the sugar. Mix a pinoh of this powder with the paste, cheese, buster, flour, meat or grease intended for the vermin. The powder should be kept in a well-olosed ves- sel, 20 air has a enoy to ferment the squills. —In protein a pound of olover bay is equivalent to six pounds of corn stover or fonr pounds of timothy. Timothy is prob- ably the most expensive hay that can be given a dairy cow. Ten pounds of corn grain aud 20 pounds of timothy hay con- tain but a very little more than hall as much protein as the same amount of corn and 20 ponode of alfalfa hay. It would seem more profitable for the farmer to sell his timothy and bay clover or alfalfa, even i prices are exactly the same. ~When lime and manure are both ap- plied to the soil. she latter should be plow- ed under and the former ied to the sur- free and barrowed in. Wallace relates an instance that when a boy he assisted in putting 1000 bashels to the acre. When th a portion of the field had lime ap- plied on top of the manure, plowed under, aod a on with manure and no lime. When lime was applied without manure there wae a fairly orop. When the manure was applied without lime there was a better crop. When the manure was plowed ander and the lime applied on top there was a record-breaker orop. FOR AND ABOUT WOMmEN. DAILY THOUGHT. A thankful beart is not only the greatest vir- tue, but the parent of all other virtues, — Cicero, The modern girl can do everything a man can do and do it on less food and with less sleep. No man could live the life the ordinary society woman leads and not be a wreok at the end of the first season. Cer- tainly no man could run the risks the aver- e woman runs in the mere matter of health and not become a confirmed invalid on the spot.— Ladies’ Field. A good many women who used to bave a small flock of hats for various uses now have only two, because these two have cost more than all the half-dozen of former sea- sons put together. If You Have Pearls.— They should be worn constantly to preserve their luster. Pot away ina jewel box they become yellow and dead looking. They should never be placed in bot wa. ter or come in contact with grease. Clean them with soft linen handkerchief, damped, aud rubbed caiefally over the sarface. Afterward rub them gently with a piece of soft, dry chamois. When putting away wrap them in jew- eler's cotton to preserve their color. Never keep in a box lined with colored silk or satin. They may absotb the color aud become stained. It is hard to tell how much the average society woman spends for her shoes, but she will have to pay a good deal more than usual this winter if she indulges in all the extravagauoes that have been designed for the season’s fashionable foot wear. One shoemaker in town says he has just had an order fur white satin wedding shoes to be covered with a fine silver web studded with seed pearl. Pointed and blocked toes will be fashionable this winter, and the square-toed boot quite out of favor. Many women in Paris now have their noderskirts frilled and wired out around the hems to show their foot wear. Women who drive a great deal are of the opinion that a coat that reaches to the feet is burdensome and always in the way. White collars and cuffs may be added or not, but some of the best tailors advise tailored collars and cuffs faced with white Frenob pique. Ol all the gifs that she makes at Christ- mas this is the one which mast be guided more by propriety than by the parse. No man likes to be under material obli- gations tc a woman. If the cou le are en- gaged it is a question of what she can al- ford to give, more than what she should not give him. If the wan is not engaged to a girl, but is very attentive to her, and has been in the habit of sending her books, candies or lowers, then she should remem- ber him at Christmas by some slight gift. She must be governed by his personal environment and his tastes ; and she must not make her gift too personal. She must remember that a girl's astitade to a man to whom she is not engaged isa delicate one, and she must make her gift to him with this in mind. There are two things she must never send bim—fancy work and her photograph. The former be does uot waut; the latter he should not have. [It must be very sweet for a man to know that the girl took .the trouble to paint a case for his cravats, or embroider him a pin cushion; but she may feel certain that he will never ase either, Gifts You May Send Your Men Friends.—The following list may help a girl to make up her mind : An umbrella with a handle of wood, ite only ornament—- it she wants to put the money in it—a sil- ver plate with his full name and address eugraved on it; a pair of military brushes in ebony with initials in silver; a half-dozen linen bandkerchiefs with his initials in the corner; a simple silver photo frame; a leath- er card-oase or bill-book in plain color with bis name and address printed in black or gold across the inside; a soft leather bag, the top run through with a silk cord in which he can keep his clean collars, and which is admirable for a traveling bag ; a portfolio of leather with compartments [or paper, sianipe: safety ink-well and pens. e may like something for his desk—a reversible calendar in brass; a small olook ; a oarved ivory paper-outter ; a brass-tipped blosting-pad, or a band blotter. Gloves, a silk muffler, knitted oravats and other things be can wear ate permissible if you have known bim from childhood and re- gard him much as you would a brother or a cousin, An Eogaged Girl Has a Wider Choice—If, however, the girl is engaged toa man, or there is a complete understanding between them, then she is more at liberty in her choice of artioles. She can give him any of the articles men- tioned above on a Ea scale, and she can also send a piece of jewelry. Men have so many es in jewelry these days that he will’ like a pair of ouff-buttons, oravat-pin, a set of shirt studs, a ring, or a watoh-fob. Among the very best selections is a set of font sold gold buttons, —one for the baok and the front of collar and coe for each sleeve above the cuff. If he wears detach- ed ouffs, he uses the buttons at the top of the cufl ; otherwise he fastens the sleeve above the cuff with it. The Most Popular Designs in Jew- elry.—Her ohoice in ouff buttons, scarf- pins and shirt studs is a v wide one this winter, for so many odd-looking and love. ly designs are ous. In puff buttons no design is prettier than the flat, oblong polished gold with a semi. ous stove sunk in the centre of it. lain gold ones with his family crest, it be has one, engraved in the oenter of it is an- other acceptable choice. In scarf pins the quoit setting in dull gold with a ohrysoprase or a pink tour. maline or a topaz is very stylish. Dia- mond scart pins are not cousidered good taste. A horseshoe of pearls in flat gold setting is also very good. The shirt studs are of white enamel with gold rims, or tiny pearls in flat gold set- ting; or mother-of-pearl set in the shape of buttons mounted on gold and with gold oross-stitoh in the center. The engaged girl can give her fiance a photo of herself in a handsome silver frame with his initials across the sop. Gifts at Small Expenditare.— If the girl's means are limited she oan give to any man w she is to him, one or more attrao- tive cushions for his den or the chairs in his room with his initials embroidered across the center. When sending any gift she should wrap it daintily and let A go by messenger or mail, in order that it may arrive on Christ u— Forty-nine Men Dead at Fayette City, Pa RECOVERING THE BODIES Pittsburg. Dec. 3.—The fate of five American and 31 foreign mivers, while rot definitely known, was pretty well established by the finding of the body of a mine pumper near the 22d entry of the Noami mine of the Unit- ed Coal company at Fayette City, 35 miles fiom this city. The man had died from suffocation. Thirteen bodies have been recovered. Judging from the fatalities thus far known, many having been caused by poisonous gas fumes, it is almost certain that the 36 miners still en- tombed in the mine have succumbed to the deadly after damp. There is also a possibility that the explosion 8ccurred so close to the men (nat they were killed by its force or the resultant fall of tons of rock an dearth. Since the explosion a large force of rescuers have labored almost con- stantly in an effort to reach the im- prisoned men. The work has been necessarily slow on account of the wreckage and after damp. Notwith- standing the fact that the rescue par tics have worked in 15-minute relays, a score or more of their members have been compelied to go to their homes suffering from the poisonous gas. Two of the rescuers are in a critical condition. All day long a crowd estimated at 2,000 persons have stood about the mouth of the ill-fated mine, awaiting some news from the entombed men. Hundreds of these persons are rela- tives or friends of the unfortunate miners and their grief is pitiful. Relatives have been impeding the work of the rescuers and officers ar- rived to keep them away from the pit mouth. A young mother living in New York, re- cently drowned herseil in agony at the dis- covery that she was a consumptive and had transmitted to her idolized boy the seeds of consumption. When the dootors told her the child was diseased ehe caught him in ber arms and they died together. Con- sumption is not hereditary. Consumption bas been cured, a fact which has been proven in autopsies in which the lungs show the healed scars of suberoulosis. Hope should pever be taken from the consumptive. It is a certain thing that people with obstinate cough, bronchitis, bleeding at the lungs, weakness and emaciatioun, conditions which it neglected or unskilllully treated ter- minate in consumption, have been perfeot- ly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
