Democrat Bellefonte, Pa. January 17, 1908. FARM NOTES. ~The best capital a farmer can have is a thorough knowledge of his business. —8Stock needs plenty of light. Insuffoient light in the barn makes the place un- healthy. —A man never knows the kind of soil he hae until he digs into it and watches its action with different orops. —To make Excelsior axle grease, take taliow, 8 pounds; palm oil, 10 pounds; plumbago, 1 pound. Heat and mix well. —One writer estimated that $100 worth of butter bears off from the #o0il less of ite valuable elements than five cents’ worth of hay. —To drive pails into bardwood dip the points in lard or tallow and they will go straights aod not double down under the mer. —All avimals which chew the cud are cloven-footed. Those thas drink by suction are herbivorous: the ornivorous animals lap when they drink. —Never feed the cows before milking except in cases where new cows have just been purchased. Being strange shey are slow to let down their milk. —QOne reason why poultry manure is rich, concentrated, and active is because fowls feed principally on seeds and insects all of which are rich in fertilizing matter. —Legitimately the fowl bas four well- defined uses, as an egg-producer, for its flesh, for its feathers, and in exterminating pests, and to these might be added, saving waste. —A cord of manure, 128 solid feet, is carried in three loads by a cart eight feet long, three and one-half wide and 12 inches high. In general, three big loads, or four moderate loads, are a cord. — A good stockman speaks kindly to his animals. He is not cruel and rough in his ways, knowing shat to have faithiul and profitable stock it is necessary that they should have the best treatment. —Fertile eggs with strorg, vigorous germs can be obtained only from healthy stock well cared for. For fowls require plenty of exercise, sanitary quarters and clean food, with pure water, some grit, vegetables and green out bones or meat meals. —No amount of persuasion or tempting- ly high prices should induce the breeder to part with his bess birds, for if he desires to steadily improve his flock no matter whether it is of socalled common birda or puare-hreds he must take his pick first of the very cream of the flock. ~The chief object in keeping the dairy cow is for the milk and butter she is able to produce. Cows giving the most and richest milk should he selected and the feed making up the ration should be snoh as will maintain the greatest possible flow of milk the cow is able to produce. —No fowl over 2 years old should he kept in the poultry yard excepts for rome special reason. An extra good mother or a finely feathered bird that is desirable as a breeder may he kept longer. Bat ordi- vary hens and cocks should be fattened for market at the end of the second year. ~~When the cow is suffering from con- gested udder it is an excellent idea to dry her off at once and feed one half ounce of nitrate potash night and morning io the solt feed. Give plenty of clean water, feed pureand wholesome food and e the udder once each day with a little iodine ointment. —Treatment recommended for canker of apple trees by one of the experiment sta tions is to paint the affected trank with a combination of one pint whale oil soap, three pints slaked lime and four gallons of water: thicken to right consistency with wood ashes or with Bordeaux mixture thickened with lime until like whitewash. —When it is necessary to treat one-quar- ter of the udder when the cow is still giv- ing milk, immerse the teat in warm water for 15 minutes after milking. Better re- sults may be obtained if half a dram of belladonna has been placed in the water. Milk the affected quarter as gently as sible, but he sure to remove all the milk that is in the quarter. —Two things are essential to the thrift of animals—a variety in their food and regularity in its receipt. One article of food cannot supply all the necessary sus- tenace, because it may lack some of the es- sential elements, and is almest sure to have some insofficient quantities. Animals do not thrive as well when fed irregularly as when they get their food at certain seasons. The more regular the food is supplied the better the results. —A three-penny nail measures one inch in length and contains 557 to the pound. A sizjpenay nail measures two inches in length, contains 177 to the pound. A twelve penny nail measures three inches in length, and contains 54 to the pound. A seven-penny nail measures two and one- quarter inches in length and contains 141 to the pound. A ten-penny nail measures two and three-fourths inches in length,and contains 68 to the pound. A twenty-penny nail measures three and one-half inches in length, and contains 34 to the pound. —The soil is the farmer’s capital, aod he oan only keep that capital unimpaired by adding fertility to it. As the fertilisy de- creases, his capital decreases and becomes impaired. Plaots and animals are his stock in trade and he can only bave the best stock in trade by having the best plants and animals. He can only beat the other fellow in the competition of trade by baving a better stock in trade and some- thing that people want and are willing to pay a good price for, because it isa good article. The more fertile his soil, the cheap er he can produce the articles which the people want. ~—A writer in the Scientific American de- olares that he effectually put an end to the depred.tion of bawks in his poultry yard by fastening an old scythe, ground to a razor edge, with the sharp end down, on a high set in the edge of a field pear his The bawks, as is their habit, lit on the soythe, it with sheir claws with the result their feet were badly out. This them and they at- tacked the soythe, tooth and toe- terall nail, and of course got the worst of it, Every hawk that came along met with a like reception, and within a short sime they were either killed or driven away. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. Often what seems discord to us is only the great chord the harmony requires and from out the fretting notes grows the divicest music. We always get what we want really when we want it, not when we think we wantit; that is quite another affair. — Anonymous. If femininity doesn’t look nice next sum- mer it is not the fault of the merchants, their buyers, the manufactarers, the expert toilers nor the designers. Each and every oue of these alert ones has done his or her best as is evidenced by the thousands of fascinating lengths with which shopland is packed. All told, dots and stripes are the most popular figurings, though some of the dots are rings, and many of the stripes are too fine to be plainly seen. Plaids and big obeoks, broken or solid, are amoug the novelties, and they are not at all loud, as the materials are filmy. As to these materials. Swiss is the clas: sic. It bas a crispnes altogether exquisite in the finer sorts, a co"wehby quality that inas alluring to the gentler sex as Mr. Spider's parlor proved to be to poor Mr. Fly. Other sheer materials are practically along these lines, though peta the threads are not twisted so bard. itness the dainty cotton marquisette and the cot. ton chiffon voile. With a Filet Effect. —It was quite nat- oral that the lace craze of the year should find its way into these new textile offerings. The filet effect has been caught and appears in geometrical sections in one otherwise usual length of white Swiss, which shows in addition black and white embroidered dots. This novelty costs $1.85 per yard. Hair-Line Stripes.—Dotsadorn materials with bair-line stripes too. As dainty as possible is a black and white bair-striped novelty with silky em- broidered dots in delicate pink as big as . This costs $1.25. White bair-line stripes, not close togeth- er, are ona deep blue length. Between these stripes are embroidered dots in emer- ald green and white. This costs but 85 cents per yard, as may be conjured in a clever rig. Dosted Plaide.—As pretty as possible are the dotted plaids. The blocks are over an woh in widsh, in white aud a color. But the color is exceptionally dainty (lovely lavendar, soft beige, dainty blue, orisp green and delicate pink) in #0 sheer a ma- terial, and the possible sqnareness is blur. red by countiess wee dots embroidered in white. These cost $1 50 per yard. A big black and white piaid cotton mar- quisette, 46 inches in width, is marked 75 oents, As to Dots.—The song ofthe dot is a symphony all by itself. It has taken on shadings, color blendings, high tones and shrinking minors, compelling motifs and indefinable outlines which prove that ‘‘age cannot wither nor custom stale its infinite variety.” There are shaded dots, and there are dots in outline. Color combinations are worked out in dots. Indeed, the dos is as vecessary to asommer frock asit istoa French maiden upon matrimony bent. There is nothing more distressing to the owner of a white silk or satin gown than to see it yellowing while is is still wear- able. The women who do not cut their wed- ding dresses up the next Winter bat keep them with reverent sentiment to the end of their lives, are always on the lookout for something to prevent them turning a deep tawny yellow. The best preventive of this is to paok the gown away in muslin sheets that have been rinsed through deep blue water antil a deep indigo. Ordinary blue muslin can be substituted if preferred. Staff all the folds with blue instead of white tissue paper, and keep in a box with aclose fitting lid, shat is also w with heavy paper to keep out she dass. One woman, who this Winter wore ber wedding frock at her twenty-fifth anni- versary, declared its unusnal whiteness was due 40 the fact that she had packed away with it many pieces of white wax. This is an old receipe for keeping white satin or silk from discoloring. and though the user could not give the reason of ite success, she is so well content with resuits that she does not bother with the why and wherefore. She said that a manufacturer told her that the bleeching of wax is by long ex- posare to the sun, air and dew, which forms a sort of ozone in the wax, shat whe it is placed in with the satin is given al asd bas a tendency to keep the fabric white. Never attempt a large course dinner with only one maid. A six course affair, well- cooked and served, is ample, and consists of soup, ehellfish, joint or fowl with vege- tables and sauce, a salad, dessert and after- dinner coffee which is always served in the drawing room, or black coffee, which is passed at the table and served in small om writes Elizabeth W. Morrison in the By having everything at band before serving the confusion which otherwise fol- lows is obviated. The dishes should be in the warming closet. Extra silver and plates for the des- sers and oraoked ice for water on the aide- hoard, the latter in a pretty dish and serv- ed with a spoon. Always bave a clean plate at each guest's place, and when one is removed always re- place it with another. The plate holding the shellfish and the dish in which soup is served is placed on thie plate but after shie double plates are not used. The plates should be removed with the lefs hand and replaced by the right one. When the food ie passed for individual helping serve it on the left. The lady on the right of host is helped first, then in order to the right, around the table. See that the dishes for hot foods are warm, but not hot, and those for cold foods very cold and not luke warm. When only one maid fe helping serve only such dishes as can have the sauce placed on the food before brought in or served by the boss and hostess, as it wonld be too much for the maid to pass the plates and then the sauce and accompany- ing vegetables, which by this time wou be cold. ; A tray just large enough to hold one plate should be used, and this should be covered with a small fringed napkin. Delors dessert is served oli small d salt pper plates and glasses which will not pepper) again must be removed and crambs brushed off with a crumb knife and tray. If one has not these then use a silver knife and clean plate. The Postal-Oard Craze, Three years ago souvenir or picture pos- tal cards were on sale in about one han- dred stores and shops in the United States. Today they may be bad in eighty thousand different places. What was originally a fad has become a great business. The picture postal card flourished for years ou the Continent. Every small town or ion bad a pretty souvenir of shis kind, while, in the big cities every place of inter- est was noed on a postal. Then the idea str the United States. The East- ern cities took it up. Now is has spread to almost every village. Some idea of the extent of she business may be gained when it is stated that a man who bas a booth at a seaside resort near New York sells forty-five dollars’ worth of postal cards aday. It is estimat- ed that as much as two hundred thousand dollars a day is spent for picture postal cards in she United States Bo large is the number of picture postal cards passing th h the mails every day that special reguiations have heen adopted for them. It was only recently that per- mission was given to write a message on the address side. It is interesting to add in this connection that the official estimate of the number of souvenir postal cards pass- ing through the British postoffices last year was five hoodred million. The value placed on these cards was estimated at five million dollars. The revenue to the vari- ous governments from postage on souvenir cards imates millions. So widespread is the interest in these cards that what is called a postal-card con- gress is held every year at Leipzig, Ger- many. Like the stamp collectors, the card faddists have a paper. The sale of 8 - ly-made albums for souvenirs postal cards has become something of an industry, too. People trade postales as they trade stamps and rare coins. —Sataurday Evening Post. The blow which knocked out Corbett was a revelation to she prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but if a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, be’d bave laugbed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing home to the public a parallel fact ; that the stomach is the moss valnerable organ out of the prize ring as well as in it. We protect our heads, throats, feet and lungs, but the stomach we are atterly indifferent until disease finds the solar plexus and knocks us out. Make your stomach sound avd strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery, and you protect yourself in yoar most vulnerable spot. ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery’’ cures ‘‘weak stomach,” indi- gestion, and other diseases of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It isa temperance medicine, entirely free from aleohol and narcotics. ~—‘‘Pray, Mr. Professor, what is a periphrasis ?"’ ‘‘Madam, it is simply a circumlocutory and plenastio oycle of oratorical sonorosity, circumscribing an atom of ideality, loss in a verbal profoundity.’’ “Thank you sir.” Castoria.
