Bellefonte, Pa., August 7. 1908. —————————— FARM NOTES. —The potato beetle bas 25 parasitic ene- mies, yet, notwithstanding these, aud all the poisons, it defies annibilation. —More men fail in the matter of collec. tion of accounts due them than as a result of the volume of business which they may fail to travsaot. —A certain amount of sucker fishing and basebali is necessary to the proper devel opment of the American youth. In this statement we know we will be backed by the boys. —In a majority of cases it is the farmer that keeps in closest touch with latest ideas on agriculture as exemplified by the work of the state experiment ations that achieves the largest measure of success in his occupation. —There is probably no profession where a man bas opportunity for a nobler service and, contrariwise, chance to be a bigger ter than as a physician. There be both inds, fortunately for the human race more of the former than the latter. —The roadvide bordering the farm may be leveled a listle if need he and used to grow clover and timothy just as well as to be the breeding place of an uusightly mess of weeds, which not only mar the landscape, but often contaminate the adjoining fields. —Very few orohardists give their trees enough fertilizer to insure the greatest eno- cess. Too many not only uvegleot to fer- silize, bus do their best to exhaust the soil by growing grain crops among the trees, or turing it at any season of the year, until the soil is as hard as the public highway. —The average yield of potatoes in the United States ranges from 60 to 90 bushels r acre, according to the conditions, while ih portions of Europe the average is from 300 to 500 busbels per acre ; yet we bave fally as good soils as those of the oth- er side of the Atlantic in all productions of the farm. —If you want to arouse the boy's inter- est in live stock, let him bave a little pig and use in his own way the money it fetches when it is marketed. The cash nexus is what does the business, as there is no par- ticular konor or fun in calling a pig one's own when some one else pockets the pro- ceeds when is is sold. —It is a remarkable fact that, although we have in this country the best breeds of cattle to be found in any portion of the globe, yet the majority of farmers have vo system of hreeding, and use cows in the dairy that give only one-third the quantity of milk and butter that could be derived from an animal of the well known milking and butter breeds. —I)o not wait until the plowing season begins in order to work your colts. Their shoulders should be hardened hy moderate use before they are dompelled to bear against the collar from morning until night, as plowing natorally necessitates. It must be recollected that in plowing, dragging, eto., there is nothing to ease the shoulders as is the case on the road where it is up and down hill. It is steady pulling all the time. ~—There is no particular virtne in a fel- low straining his back or giving bimsell a raptare in the lifting of a heavy hayrack when the job of putting the rack off and on the wagon can be immensely simplified by building a support for it of about the height of the larger wheels. Intelligence is just as admirably displayed in saving one's strength and postponivg the period of stooped shoulders and a broken down physical condition as in raising prize win. ning hogs and cattle or bumper orops of corn and oats. —Soapsude will destroy plant lice if need around trees and vines, especially the aphides that work on the roots. The suds may be sprayed on the leaves as well as thrown on the ground. Whale oil soap: suds are used to destroy scaie, and if a lit- tle crude carbolic acid is added to the sade it will be all the better. For asparagus and celery, eoapsuds are excellent, and when thrown on the manure heap they assist in preventing the loss of ammonia. If suapsuds are to be thrown away it will be an advantage to throw them where they will prove beneficial. —A resident of Pawnee City, Neb., twenty years ago planted twenty acres of land near that place, which was classed as good for nothing because of its location snd the natare of the soil, to catalpa trees. Recently the proprietor bad the trees cut down, selling the tops for firewood and the trunks for fenoc posts, the caralpa being superior to almost any other kind for the latter purpose. He realized $5,238 10 from the sale, his net profit amounting to £157.17 an acre for the twenty years, or $6.24 an acre per year. There ought to be a eug- gestion here for owners of many tracts of apparently worthless land. —Dauriog the time the sow is carrying her pige, about 112 days, she must have as much nourishing food as is necessary to Keep ber in good condition and produce thy, well-developed pigs. If possible, she should bave a , thoogh small, peiire, hut if the grass is shors,she should given some kind of soft feed. Pampkine and sweet potatoes are good. Wheat, bran and shorts, with skim milk, are always wholesome foods, either before or alter far- rowing. About two weeks before farrowing the sow should be put in a pen by herself, so that she will become acquainted with her pew quarters before the pigs come. The ould bave a floor, a good roof, and at least three sides should be closed tight, to keep out wind and rain. On the inside, a piece of 2x4 scantling or a round pole, shoanld be fastened eight inches from the floor and four inches from the wall. This protects the pigs and prevents the sow crushing them. A supply of coarse salt and ashes or charcoal should be kept in the pen constantly to eatisfy the craving for such food, and will usually prevent pig eating. After farrowing the sow should be given nothing but a very little bran in water for the first twenty-four hours. This may be increased a very little the second and third days. After that her food should consist of wheat bran and shorts and sweet pota- toes, pumpkins, crushed oats and milk. It requires close attention avd common sense to give the right kind and amount of food to the sow and her pigs in the best condition. A good start in necessary for the rapid development of the pigs, and in order to secure this, plenty of green food should be given. The pigs will begin to eat when about three weeks old. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. ! DAILY THOUGHT. Children have the effect on your spirit that | morning air has on your body. There is no | exhaustion in them ; they are charged with lite and health and sunshine. —R. W. Barham. i A foot bath in which a handful of common salt bas been placed and following with a brisk rub will often remove a severe headache. Weakness of the beart is indicated by breathlessness after any slight exertion and by such evidence imperfect ciroula- tion as pale finger pails and cold extiemi- ties. Among the richer classes 343 persons in 1,000 live to he 60 years of age; in the middle classes 175,aud of the laboring class 156. Have you seen the new romping suite for listle girls? Wee listle maidens bave their bair bobbed shors, and asiractive bows ou top, with little one piece suits, which consist of nothing bat short sleevea oo a plain blouse, attached to a pair of bloomers. Mauy of them have discarded stockings altogether as an unnecessary nuisance and their whole costume from bead to foot consists of a bair ribbon, a romping suis over a thin shirt and uoderdrawers, no petticoats, and a pair of sandals. These suite are made from ginghams and cool linens, and the little tot is seen walking along the shady side of the pave- ment pushing ber baby coach, with a cos- ton parasol over her head, with toe tem- perature at 90 degrees, and never a care about the weather. The present fashion of massing the head with puofls and braids is injorions. Some gitls not only bave a rat—made of only the factories know what—to keep the hair standing out around the head, but on this they mass a half dozen puffs on a large false braid. This is worse than marcelling the bair. It heats the scalp, causes excess perspira- tion and makes the hair become thin and lustreless. She who wears false bair should be care- ful to give the scalp and bair ten minutes treatment every night; the hair being al- lowed to havg loose around the head or be put into loose plaits. Only one comb is 10 fashion, fortunately, as side combs are out. So keep the fashion and wear ouly this one. Three are two too many. Women do not realize the importance of changiug the shoes often in caring for the welfare of the feet. Many business women will wear the same shoes day after day, antil they are thrown away, astoo old to wear. Shoes, like everything else, need a rest, and if women would have at least two pairs, aud alternate from one to the other from day to day, the feet would be kept in much better condition and the ehoes wonld outlast three pairs of shoes which are never changed. Shoes need to be aired thoroughly every day, and if they are put on day alter day without proper airing and drying, they will become bard and anbealthy to wear. After a long walk it is opecessary to change the shoes. The feet are tired and vore and veed a change. The feet should he bathed directly after the walk with warm water and pure soap and then hathed with either aleohol or hot vinegar in the water. It will soothe tired, achiog [eet il soft slippers are put oo after the heavy walking shoe. The honse shoe should he soft and | the heels should belower than the walking shoe. The introduction of the Directoire fash- ions combined with the jabot, which is a modified fichu of Marie Antoinette, bas re- vived the old style of large brooches once favored by the Empress Eagenie. The brooch forms a very good finish at the sop of the jabot where it joine the collar or stock—in fact, is is almost a necessity. Furthermore, it adds gnite a little to the antique appearance of the costnme. Many of them are made of coral ; others are cameo, and still more are of the heauti- ful miniature type which, when surround- ed hy diamonds, makes a most astractive finish for any costume. It is, however, ad- visable not to frame a miniatare with arti- ficial diamonds ; rather bave it set in a plain gold frame, which is at all times dig- nified and io style. Walkiog suits are tall ankle length, and, no matter what the out or design, the lines from waist to bem must be relatively ocor- reot and true. For example, where the trimming consists of a straight line of braid from the waist ae far as the knees, and then is hioken into by a Greek border, the border line and the long line must be in contivuation. Where the skirt is plaited, the plaits must slant in a direot line, in- stead of being even and slightly curved to the figure, as was the case last season. It ie rather interesting that, while a bor- der around a coat serves to decrease the a- parent length a foot border around skirs increases it. It depends shen aito- gether on one’s figure whether a foot trim- ming is advisable. Of course, for a long skirt there is no great difference. Panel effects are sought after for walking-length suits. Just at present is is the single pan- el in front, but undoubtedly the alternat- ing panels will become popular with sum- mer fabrics, to give exounse for employment of embroideries and all-overs, The length of the coat which once threat- ened to he a matter of great import, is re- ally a secondary matter now—Ileft almost entirely to individual ohoice. Few of them are cut straight coross at the bottom. Geometrical designs, curves, squares, semi- circles, all enter into the construction of a gown, and especially of a coat. Many models look as though the cloth for their fashioning had been folded and cut with all the precision and in the same manner that a kindergarten teacher cute the pretty colored bite of paper for the children. But the new fashions are really new, although some may assert they are not. And itisa long, long time since we have bad so good an opportunity to make the most of our. ! opinion of him. selves in a sartorial way. ~ MARVELOUS MACHINES. Some of the Wonderful Instruments Man Has Invented. The sensitiveness of the human or- ganisw is gross indeed compared with that of the marvelous machines man has made. A photographic plate cou- pled with a telescope discovers millions of stars whose light the retina of the eye does not appreciate. The micro- phone makes the inaudible tread of a fly sound like the tramp of cavalry- men. The human heat sense cannot realize a difference of temperature be- yond one-fifth of a degree, but the ba- rometer, an Instrument 200,000 times as sensitive as the skin, notes a differ- ence of a millionth of a degree. A gai- vanometer flexes its finger at a current generated by simply deforming a drop of mercury so as to press it out of a spherical shape into that of an egg. The amount of work done by the wink of an eye equals 100,000,000,000 of the winks marked on the scale of a delicate instrument, but even this performance is surpassed by the coherers of Branley of Paris by which the Hertz waves of wireless telegraphy are caught in their pulsings through space. The range of impressions which we get from lifting an object is exceedingly small. An or- dinary chemist's balance is some mil- lion times as sensitive and weights down the two hundredth part of a mil- ligram. Without such instruments as these we should know far less about the world than they place within our reach. They make it evident that our sense organs give us reports of but a comparatively small number of com- paratively gross stimull. — Chicago Tribune, BULWER LYTTON. —— | He Was a Grotesque Figure According | to This Picture. The late Dr. Edward Vaughan Ke- nealy, who appeared as counsel for the Tichborne claimant, was well ac- quainted with many of the celebrities of his time. In the memoirs which his daughter has published there are some piquant passages. Here is what he had to say in his diary about Bul- wer Lytton: “Dined tonight with the lord chief justice, Lord Houghton, Bulwer Lyt- ton and other senators and ladles. Bulwer Lytton is a clown. He was shabbily dressed and sidled into the room with slouching air and gait. He held his hat in his hand as though about to drop it and looked as though he did not know what to do with his legs. He gaped, his eye was lacklus- tered, and he said nothing. It is al- most impossible to believe he wrote the works which pass under his name. His wife says he did not write them. | He has a great nose like Fitzball or i Bardolph, but not so red as the lat- ter's. He has cut off his beard, and the hairs are scanty and scrubby down his lank Don Quixote jaws. 1 expect- ed a fine gentleman, perhaps a fop like his own Devereux or like Bolingbroke, and 1 saw a crapulous fossil. He took Mrs. Round down to dinner, but never spoke a word to her, remaining silent or mumbling to himself. I think Cock- burn was ashamed of him, and. al- though he asked him especially to meet me, he did not venture to solicit my But 1 told it to him And he was ashamed of his guest.” The beautiful water lilly roots in th: mud helow the stream. All the fragrance and fairness of the flower are affected as the root is affected. If the root is injured the flower droope and its whiteness is marred by blot and blemish. A woman's beauty is intimately related to the health of the delicate female organs. No woman who suffers covstantly from female weak- ness can retain ber good looks. One of the facts noted hy “women who have been cured of diseases of the delicate womanly organs by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Presorip- tion, is the return of the color to the cheek and the brightness to the eye when the cure has been completed. ‘‘Favorite Presorip- tion’’ hae heen well named by women who have been healed by ite use, *‘A God-send to women.” [It dries debilitating drains, cures inflammation, ulceration and female weakuess, and re establishes the ailing woman in sound health.
