Bellefonte, Pa. July 31. 1908,
— Barley and oats when ground together,
make a most excellent feed for cows.
—New York is the leading buokwheat-
ncing State, with Pennsylvania second
ichigan third, Maine fourth and North
Carolina fish in the list.
—Those who have sried it say that
common axle grease, provided it is not of
the salty kind, isa rust preventive
for agricultural implements and
being equal to a coat of varnish.
— Leonard C. Robinson, general manager
of the Jewish Agricultural and Industrial
Society, says there are about 5000 Jewish
farmers in the United States, largely in
New Jersey, and they are all doing well.
—Those farmers who mate their dairy
cows with a strictly beef sype sire, expeot-
iog that the heifer calves will be of the
dairy type, and the steer calves of the beef
type, find shat their experiment has resalt-
ed in a good line of scrabs.
—1It is said that the quail has been known
to destroy 60 different kiuds of weed seeds,
and it is a fact that about 5 per cent. of
bis food is made up from seeds that are
barmful to she farmer. He also annually
destroys large numbers of injurious bugs.
—A gallon of cream weighs 8 pounds, A
gallon of oream testing 20 per cent. will
contain 1.6 pound of batter fat : adding
one-fifth to this gives 1.92 pounds of buster.
A gallon of cream testing 45 per cent. will
contain 36 pounds of butter fat ; and
adding one-filth to this makes 4.32 pounds
of butter.
—Many a vicious horee is started on his
bad career by not heing properly handled
when young. Even though the colt ia
naturally of a bad temper, he can be easily
managed while under six months of age,
and when be once is taught that man is
his master the first step in his training has
been successfully accomplished. |
—A sncoessfal sheep breeder says : Do
not breed to a dry-fleeced ram. The sire is
the proper improver, bus in order to be
such he must bea good individual and
descend from the best lineage. Study sire
dam and blood lines. Have a right ideal
and breed to produce it. Honesty is of ns
much importance in sheep breeding as it is
any where else.
— According to the United States Depart-
ment of Agricalture, a good milch goat
will give at least two quarts of milk a day,
and have a period of lactation of four to
six months. The quality of milk from the
common goat is said $0 be as good as from
any other ; and the healthlulness of goats’
milk is everywhere acknowledged and
recommended by those who bave investi-
gated the matter.
—The land cannot be too rich for egg
plants. [It is absolutely necessary that the
soil be rich, made so by heavy fertilizing
the fall previous. A warm, sunny exposure
is needed,and a fairly dry, rich, loamy soil
is to the plants’ liking. Manare heavily,
The piants should be set ont, in most
districts, about the first week in June, or
even a little later. Generally transplanting
is done about two or three weeks after corn
plantiog. It will require about 3000 plants
to cover an acre—three ounces of seeds
will produce that number of plants.
It is claimed that there are few vege-
tables that are more diffiouls to grow than
the egg plavt. This difficalty, like diffi-
culties in growing any plant, asuaily
arizes from improper care or lack of asten-
tion. The egg plant is a very delicate and
tender anuunal, and while it belongs to
tropical and semi-tropical countries, there
are few il any of oar Northein gardens in
which it cannot be grown, if given the
right care.
The culture of egg plant is similar to
that of the tomato, except that it requires
a much longer season to mature. The
lants should be strong, and at least 6 10 8
nches high when set out. For family use
a dozen plants will farnish about all the
fruit a family can consume. The secret in
successful oultare is to use none bat
vigorous, thrifty plants, and to keep them
growing. It is bard to overonme any check
they may receive in growing.
When set out, they should at first be
shaded aud watered for a few days, and
given careful cultivation during the .sum-
mer. Mulching is beneficial, both for re-
taining moisture in the soil and in keeping
the fruit from the ground. The plants
should be set at least 2} feet apart. Pinch
off the ends of the branches after the plants
begin to bloom. allowing only two to three
fruits to set. The fruit is delicious, and
finds a ready sale. They can he used for
cooking from the time they are one-third
grown until matarity.
~The Summer flowers must be fed oo-
cacionally, for throughout Jaly they will
be doing their bardest work. If such plants
as sweet peas, hollyhook, roses, foxgloves,
pansies, morning glories, dablias, stook,
salvia, nasturtiums, verbena, phlox, cosmos
lobeia, portulaca and sunflowers are proper-
ly stimulated they can be made to bloom
more freely and for a much longer time
than they otherwise would.
Ordinary fertilizers, such as a bone,
barnyard manare and compost, which were
#0 effective earlier in the year, are not
suitable for July. They require too much
time to part with their properties.
What is wanted to foroe flowers and vege-
table growth now is to apply some food
that will give concen nourishment as
soon as it is put on.
Pul veri: sheep manure and hen ma-
nure are quicker in action, but even they
require time.
A very quick acting eoricher is nitrate
of soda. It is valuable only on account of
ite nitrogen, with whiob is parte almoss
the moment it is put into the ground. It
costs from 4 to 6 cents a pound and will
force most plants quite sufficiently both in
the flower and the kitchen garden.
Equally quick, however, is lignid manure
made by banging a bag of stable manure
in a barrel of water until the resulting
liquor ie a very dark brown. Pour some of
this around the plants but do it carefully,
for it will burn the leaves, and even the
stems, if it touches them. Its effect is
wonderful
Regarding dahlias, a word of advice is
needed. If they are not doing well by
pow there is ground for suspecting that
the soil is not good enough for them, and
shonld be for richer. Remove
their lower if they are thickly
grown with leaves und bear but few buds.
By all means stimulate the sweet
even if you leave all other flowering ts
to nature. There flowers are b little
letlova and they need lots of food and
rink.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Let us have faith that right makes might, and
in that faith let us, to the end, dare to do our
duty as we understand it.—Abraham Lincoln.
The needle is vot the only implement
required in the making and keeping of
clothes. A flatiron is a close second.
The tailored skirt, especially, is in con-
stant need of being .
The ofl a suit requires some
skill—bas more patience and care.
In the case of a pleated skirt firet baste in
place each pleat ite entire unstitched
length withfine cotton; coarse thread will
leave ite imprint after pressing.
When a skirt is put over the padded
board place a chair or small table beneath
it to lifs she skirt to prevent stretohing.
Provide two hot irons—heavy irons are
hest—and cover the on to be pressed
with a piece of doubled unbleached muslin
thoroughly wet.
‘Donot *‘iron,” but literally ‘‘press;”’
lifting the iron from place to place rather
then rubbing it over the surface. The iron
should not be allowed to remain too long
in one place or it will leave ite imprint.
The seams of coats and sleeves may be
pressed aver a broom-stick which has been
evenly padded and covered with mus-
lin.
The Tan Shoe.—Is in the ascendant.
It comes in multiple shades.
The golden tans are seen in every variety
of shoe.
Pumps, ties, sandals, bathing slippers
and boots all acknowledge tan’s supremacy.
Pale tans and ochre tints are popular in
suede shoes trimmed with buckles.
In kid and canvas are found most de-
leoctable shades of champagne.
In fact, the tau shoe, in its inflections, is
worn almost to the exclugjon of all others.
If you cannot afford a mission porch
swing which is so comfortable on the porch
in Summer, why not improvise one?
If you are lucky enough to have one of
the old-fashioned wooden settles that used
to stand in our grandmother’s kitchen the
problem is solved.
Cut off the legs and strengthen with
ateide of iron nailed to the lower part of the
Paint any desired color; dark green or a
rich red generally look well. Use a good
paint and finish with a coat of enamel to
prevent the color coming off on light dress-
es.
Hang to the ceiling of the porch with
heavy chaius.
For the furnishings make a mattress of
old bair or exceleior and cover with denim
to match the color of the swing.
Cheap and artistic oushions in denim,
plaid gingbame or bandanas in harmonisz-
ing colors, make as good looking a couch as
if one had spent three or four times as
much on is.
One of the pew developments in mid-
suommer fashions for all out-of-town wear
is a short plain skirt of colored linen or
duck, with a striped shirtwaist, the stripe
carrying out the color of the skirt.
It has been a long time since the restrio-
tion against a cvlored skirt and a white
shirtwaist even allowed of a compromise.
When a colored skirt was worn that did
not carry a shirtwaist to match a coat was
worn as an addition. This is still true of
clothes for city street wear, but for country
and house wear this new fashion has saken
first place.
Tt is quite pretty. The fabric used for
the waist are either thick or thin. Tailored
effects are equal in popularity with elabo-
rate blouse designs. :
Ginghams and linens are both ased,
made with small plaits, fastened through
with pearl huttoos io front. Loog sleeves
are added with wide tarnover cuffs that
fasten with link buttons.
Plain white embroidered sarnover collars
are added with cravats of colored silk rib.
bon.
The deviation from this obvious and ani-
form neckwear is the collar made of all-
over mulle or open work embroidery at-
tached so a three-ply linen foundation.
Under this is run a soft cravat of silk
maulle in the color of the stripe. It is finish-
ed with a tiny bem at the edges aud a ball
inch ruffle of lace at the ends.
It is about four inches wide and tied
with two short loops and ends that drop to
the bust. When this style is unbecoming,
as it must he to a woman with a long nose
aod a bigh forehead, then the loops and
ends are made in the same length.
Of conree, the lingerie Puritan collar is
also worn with these waists. It is already
universal. It carries the cravat and bow
of #ilk mulle also.
When one wishes to wear a blouse in-
stead of a colored linen skirt all sorte of
dainty cotton fabrics are used. The old-
fashioned striped muslin has come back
into style.
It is made in fine tucks or narrow plaits,
usually with asmall yoke of all-over Va-
lenciennes lace, with stock so match. Re-
member that a separate collar of any kind
cannot go with a yoke. It is only per-
missible with a blouse that has veither
guimpe nor yoke.
The sleeves are three-quarter length or
long if one prefers. They are small, in
keeping with all blouse sleeves. They are
lace trimmed and finished with a turnover
ouff ora pn one three inches deep, fast-
ened with linen buttons at the back.
The belts worn with these costumes are
pot of satin and silk, and they are not in
girdle shape. This style would be too
elaborate unless the costume was worn in
the evening for any home affair.
As a rule leather belts are used or moire
belting in white or in colors. There is ao
eatabl feeling among artistic people
thas the belt to matoh the shirtwaist is
always better than one to match the skirt,
because is lengthens the waist line.
FOR A FRUIT PUNCH.
Squeeze and strain the juice from a dozen
lemons, adding a pound and a half of sugar,
a quart of ripe strawberries crushed toa
pulp, a ripe pineapple cut into dice and
three quarts of water.
FOR CHERRY SALAD.
Stove cherries, lay on lettuce sprinkled
with powdered parsley and French drees-
ing peared over. The whole is allowed to
stand a while, when the juice is tarnrd out
and poured over the second time. Serve in
15 minutes.
FOR HAM TURNOVERS.
Chop cold boiled ham fine and warm in
butter. Beat two or three eggs, according
to the amount of bam, and pour intoa

Habits of the Frog Folks.
The toads and the frogs are first cousins,
a# you might goess from their looks and
habits of life.
Perhaps the most peculiar thiog aboot
the frou, =ay® a writer in the Circle, is that
he can breathe either in the air or nuder
the water. This 1# because he bas hoth
lungs and gills, 0 he i= better «ff than
most other creatures in shat particular.
The frog's eggs are laid early in the
spring in puddles and sl water aod
left to hatoh just as the ' eggs are
batched, when the water shall be warm
enough. When the is first batched,
and for a week or two , the frog looks
more as though be were intended for a fish
than a frog. He is fish-shaped and swims
by wriggling his tail.
Then be is called a pollywog, and I pre-
sume many of you children bave seen bim;
but when he is from a week to two weeks
old the legs begin to appear, the fore legs
first, and then she hind ones, and finally
he i* no longer a poliywog, but a fall-
fledged frog.
Then he can jump, swim, and catch flies
and go upon the land it he wants to, and
that was something be could not do when
he was only a pollywog.
The very smallest of all the frogs is
oalled the piping-frog. He is hatohed rom
an egg in the paddles just like bis fellows,
but be finally comes on shore and lives in
a tree, aud shen he is known as a tree-frog.
You may often hear bie shrill srilling song
in the early evening.
The piping [frog is one of the most won-
derfal of all the frog family. Besides liv-
ing in a tree, be can take off his skin and
eat it whenever be wants to, and that isa
very queer thing for a frog to do. He be-
gine by pulling the skin of his head off and
y crowdiug it into his moath ; then be
keeps pulling more and more, just as a boy
would apon a sweater. and all the time he
is crowding the skin down his throat with
bis long, strong tongue. In three minutes’
time he will have bimself all skinned and
bie suit of olothes eaten. Bat there is
avother skin under thas one, and that is
why be pulls off the first. Toadsalso shed
their skins and eat them, but they do nos
do #0 as often as the little piping frogs do.
In the very early spring, before the ice
is quite gone in the brook, the little pip-
ing- frog will be lying on the bottom of the
stream. Frogs nsoally dive down deep in
the mud at the begioning of winter and
freeze up. I have found froge frozeo stiff
aod brought them home and thawed them
ous, so that they would be hopping about
on the floor in a few minutes.
Presently the little frog feels in his heart
that itis spring. He bas not seen the
outer world, and itis very dark down at
the bottom of the stream, hat he feels in
some way that spring is coming, #0 he
comes to the surface and cries with all bis
might in a shrill, clear voice, ‘‘spring,
spring, spring "’
When the farmer who is making maple-
sugar at the time hears thas tiny frog ory-
ing “‘spring,’’ he says :
“Well, well, there are the frogs. No
more sugar-making for this year.’
So, you eee the little piping-trog isa
wonderful prophet, and can tell away
down in the damp and mold that spring ie
coming.
‘A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit neither can av evil tree bring forth
good fruit.”” That is the law of generation,
