RR TR Semcififit Bellefonte, Pa. Maren 6, 1908. FARM NOTES. —A pound of nitrate of woda is sufficient to cover from BO go 100 squate feet. —(versour oream gives a soar and, of coarse, an abnormal taste to the butter. —A really good dairy cow will certainly not gain in flesh when in full low of milk. —Tie use of quicklime on soils helps to set loose the mineral plaut food locked up in the soil. —When grass seed is sown see that you have a rich, well-pulverized seed bed, aod cow liberally. — A black soil is not necessarily a rich soil. Is may be almost devoid of nitrogen, aod so stand in need of some fertilizer. —While cow-peas are hest adapted to light, warm soils, any good corn land will grow the crop in the latitude where the peas will mature. —Ground phosphate rock is a good ma- terial to add to barnyard manare, as the manure helps to make the phosphorus in the rook available for plants. —A Spanish professor, according to Ger- man newspapers, has made the discovery that the soufl ower yields a splendid febri- foge that cau be used as a substitute for quinive. — Diseased wood on a tree can never be made new again. Cat it off aod allow an- other shoot to grow. Every day tbat such ; wood remains on a tree adds to the liability | of lusing it. —T¢ was stated that the Eoglish sparrow eats the caterpillar of the brown tail moth with avidity. It would seem to bave wet this moth in Eagland and to bave acquired an appetite for it. —Lime is very beneficial to many soils. The fact that lime is exceedingly abundant makes it impossible for is ever to be high in price. It is ove thing thas natare sup plies us in saperabundanoce. —Early in the spring a shovellal of ashes should be scattered around each ourrant bash, and a bandful thrown on the crown. They serve two purposes—tertilizing and preventing inseote and discases. —A first class quality of red clover seed should be of lair size, purple and yellow colors predomioating, and always with a lustre. If it is small, with many shriveled brown seed in it, it should be rejected. —Alfpita seed bas a light olive-green color aud is about the same size as red clover seed. The dead aud worthless seed are the brown-colored ones. Brown seed indicate old seed, and is not apt to give re- salts. —1t is easy to keep the farm in good order if you keep it so every day, what makes it hard is whens you let things slip by day after day, thinking that there will be a stormy day some time when you can do all the odd jobs. —For brittle hoofs in a borse—even when so brittle that they will not hold a shoe—the following is reported as an exoel- lent remedy : Two parts oil of tar with one pat balsam of fir, mixed and applied every other night to the extreme top of hoof. One who bas tried is says that in six weeks he cured completely a case as above. —A colt or horse will live and develop on good hay alone. He will thrive better upon a two third ration of bay and the rest straw. If given a ration of oats with these he will do still bester. If+this grain ration will be chauged occasionally to corn and bran, groaud barley, eto., the advantages of a mixed ration will be strongly in evi- dence. —Gourde are susceptible of being trans- formed into beautiful house ornaments of real usefulness. Cat off carefully with a saw, alter thoroughly drying, they may be varnished, stained or paiuted, and made into vases for out or dried bouquets, or into receptacles or pots for growing plants. The fact they hold water makes them all the more valaabl:. —Saltpeter and nitrate of potash are the same. It is found in dry, hot countries in a natural prodooct. Nitrate of soda is com- monly called Chile saltpeter and is found in large deposits in that conntry. It coo. tains the same percentage of nitrogen and ozyich as nitrate of potash, only it is opi: with Sodium instead of potassium, as is the case of nitrate of potash. ~The loss of a pint of milk in one day trom each animal in a herd amounts to many quarts, aod way represent $1 or $2, or more. This will coour when the stalls are not olean, and insufficient bedding is provided. A erack in the wall wheo the wind is damp and cold may cause distress to all of the animals, yet the cost of repair- ing such may be bat a small sam. —A successful horse raiser says: 1 count the swallows my horses take while drinking a paillal. Some take larger swal- lows than others, but I know them all. If I am out on the road and come to a trough, I get out and count while my horse drinks, so that he will not take too much at once. I give water often, and so keep my horses free from howel trouble caused by over- drinking.” —Ia purchasing nitrate of soda, the most quickly available source of nitrogen for plants, buyers should steer clear of low grade nitrate. The more usual adulterants are common #als, and ealt cake from the maoufacture of acids, both worthless as fertilizers and containing no plant food. Nitrate of soda now comes in original bags, whioh now contain about 200 pounds. The old 310 pound bag was very clumsy. —Should excessive winds blow the top of a tree out of shape, which often occurs, cat it ous, leaving a nearly erect southwest branch to become the new central stems. Shallow, loosely-planted $rees sometimes Blow over. Suey way be us nie by ex- cavatiog on the opposite side a pushing the sree back, tramping the earth as firml as possible on the side toward which it leaned. Careshould be taken not to wrench the roots loose in this operation. —The statistician in the Department of Agriculture of the United States estimates that in 1031 the population of this country will be 130,000,900. To supply the re- quirements of this number of people will necessitate the production of 700,000,000 bushels of wheat, 1,250,000,000 bushels of oats, 3,450,000,000 bushels of corn, 100,- 000,000 tons of hay ;and cotton, tobacoo, fraits and vegetables in jon. This will necessitate bringing under onltivation an additional 150,000,000 acres of land,and it is estimated that we have only 108,000,- 000 acres available for caltivation, FOR AND ABOUT WOMREN. DAILY THOUGHT. A child will judge the heart; a woman reads The eyes and lips ; a man requires deeds. The striped liven collars in white aud color, with embroidered scalloped edge and embroidered dots of the'same color, accou- panied by listle bows of the same liven embroidered to match the collar, are a case in point, aud are particularly cuie, though not extremely high in price. Some of these striped collars are elaborated by the the introduction of little motifs, in real Irish lace, but, on the whole, the collar and tie of this type are smarter in the simpler form. Irish lace plays a considerable part in many of the more expensive collars aud bows or rabats, and there is a decided liking for collars whose turnover part is composed wholly of real Irish lace .or baby Irish vet with small motifs of heavier de- sign. With these collars is worn either a knot or soft colored silk or a small bow of lace corresponding with the lace of the col- lar. Some women draw a sheer silk scaif or sie around the neck so that the delicate color shows through the lace, and tie this scarf in a litle knot at the front, but while many sorts of silk cravate and bows are shown in the shops and adopted for practical reasoos there is a decided prefer- ence for the bow of lingerie and lace. Some new models of embroidered linen set with tiny medallions of Irish lace fast- en in the back ivstead of the front, but a little rabat matehiug the collar and made in one with is finishes the front. Parisians wear many of these high linen collars made with soft turn-down parts and fastening in the back, and do not consider it necessary to cover the buttons at the back, but leave little jeweled buttons in evidence or use jeweled pins in place of buttons. Some sort of lingerie or lace bow is set at the bostom of the collar iv froot, or possibly one of the narrower embroidered lingerie ties 18 drawn around the collar and kuotted io front. American women, however, have shown a preference for collars opening in front, and when a collar fastening in she back iv worn it is almost invariably encircled by a tie of some sort. Recently some of the shops noted for their specialties in imported neck wear have been showing a god many straight, high collars, without turnovers, of embroidered linen or of tnoked linen or lingerie, fasten: ing in the back, finished with a very var- row frill of Valenciennes at the top and at the bottom, with an extremely narrow tie of taffeta passing around the throat and tied in a tiny square bow in front. Collars in colored linen, embroidered in white and perhaps inset with lace, are worn with white lace or lingerie bows to match, and white collars with just a touch of color in their hand embroidery have bows or rabats of white with a repetition of the color in the embroidery, but the all- white collar and tie is the uniform wear, and the amount of originality achieved within these prescribed limitations is truly surprisiog. The plaited skirt is always worn. It soits the ordinary figure better than the plain skirts, bot the laster of circnlar cot are infinitely smarter, more graceful, are light in weight and easier to manage in walking. The tight circular skirt without a plait to relieve it about the hips is suited to the truly feminine figare only. In Paris the clinging skirts are so much and so wholly the vogue that they are cer- tain to be more worn here. Of course, the extremely clinging skirts are the long ones suited to indoor and evening wear, ‘The white Teddy bear that looks so woefully dirty after a week of hard usage, as well as baby’s angora waufl and tippet, mamma's ermine set and sister's white fele bat, can be cleaned with wheat flour. Rab she flour in carefully and thoroughly, using clean flonr ae fast as the haundfal fisst used becomes gray. Shake oat aod brush thoroughly. To he a well-groomed girl you must never have a missing batten. Gloves must be noripped and immacu- lately clean. Shoes must be polished and never run down at the heels. Clothes mast be brushed when taken off; then there is no temptation to wear them unbroshed the next time because of hurry. Ribbons, laces, ruchiogs must always look as if new. If they are nos, they are made to appear so by careful renovating. Her olothes must never miss connection. Belts must be fastened securely in place, hooks and eyes must not gap, collars must not be pinned away or with pins that do not matoh. ’ Her underclothing must be suitable for the occasion on which it is to be worn. She must sever be guilty of wearioga beidrag- gled petticoat under a cloth sais. Ragged finery must be an utter impossi- bility to the well-groomed girl ; in faot, finery at all, except in its appropriate place in the house or at more or less formal en- tertainments, must be avoided. Brandy Snaps.—Yon mix well together eqaal parte of batter and brown sugar and fluar. Add brandy enough to wet them well. Spread them into raunds with a kuife on a buttered baking sheet, put them in the oven, and, when hot, roll them up with a koife and bake till erisp and golden- brown. Use a little more flour if it seems NEOessAry. For very festive occasions, when ove has had warning in time to prepare something anosually dainty, nothing can be better than almond tartlets, though be sure to serve them with plates and forks. Almond Tartlets.—You beat to a thick froth the yolks of 4 eggs and 1 cup powder- ed sugar. Add the stiffly beaten whites and 2 tablespoons grated chocolate, § cup blanched and oho Jordan almonds, and 1 teaspoon baking powder mixed with a very scant oup of cracker dust. Bake in battered muffin rings, filling them ball fall, avd place on a baking sheet covered with buttered paper. When baking, allow them to cool, split them open, and spread wiped cream between and on top of A Drawing-Room Race.—This exciting diversion is made with strips of cheese- oloth about one and a half inches wide and five yards long. Have a string drawn across one end of the room and tie the ends of the pieces of cheesecloth to the string two feet apart. Each contestant must ohoose the name of a racing horse. Armed with a pair of sharp scissors, at the word “Go !" the racers start to out the cheese- olosh through the middle, beginning at the loose end and cutting as [ast as ble to the finishing point, where the cheesecloth is tied to the string. If any contestants, instead of cutting through the middle of the cheesecloth, outs a piece off he is ont of the race. The one who reaches the goal first wine the prize. Why Paper Decays. The brownish spots which appear in old hooks are really due to the ravages of bac teria. The tiny destroyer i= especially fond of starchy material avd its propaga tion i= promoted by damp. It has been well understood that damp produced dis coloration and decay, hut the sbare of the microbe in the operation has not hitherto been suspected. Tiny fugus or mold is respongible for gray and black marks apon old papers. Iu spotting the surface the fungus helps to break down the fabric and basten the prooess of ite destraction. A simple leak has suuk some of the stoutest ships that ever sailed. When a ship springs a leak, it 1s no good to crowd on more sail and Lope to escape. The first thing to do is to find the leak, and then to stop it. It is the leakage of health which ruins many a splendid woman. It's, no good in such a case to take tonics and stimulants, The first thing to do is to lo- cate the leak, the wvext thing is to stop it. There isa constant leakage of health in every woman who suffers from disease or derangement of the delicate womanly or- aus, such as unhealthy drains, inflamma- tion, ulceration and female weakness.
