Democrat ada Bellefonte, Pa., September 25, 1908. OH SAT— FARM NOTES. — A mash of two quarts of middlinge will put the pigs in the condition for mar- ket vexs fall. -—1 our breeder for next year's or shatisk y that the rooster is more than balf the flock. — Bees should be permitted to have some comb honey in the hiveon which to winter. Note this when robbing this fall. —It is estimated that a brood sow costs $10 a year to keep. She should raise 16 pigs during the year, vettiog $20. —An acre of blackberries has been known to produce 10,000 quarts. The aver- age yield is 3158 quarts, or about 98 bushels. ~The shifsless farmer is half glad of the break in the machine that takes him to town where he can loaf and gossip fora ball a day. —Open up a barlsp bag at the seam and rater re cow when milking. It will prove a hig protection from the flies and will belp keep ber quiet. —One who claims to be an authority in the matter says there is nothing better to protect sheep from dogs than a goat. These animals bave nofear of a dog, but dogs fear them. —A Connecticut peach grower says his bess fruit this year was on the young trees, and oo those which bad been severely pruned. He says he finde that liberal pruning induces new wood, and thas the finest fruit is on this new growth. —Green crops are plowed under in the fall or spring ; but spriog plowing gives the better results, When the plowing under of a crop takes place in the fall there is a considerable percentage of nitrogen lost before the roots of the plants get at it in the spring. —S8ecretary Hall, of the New York State Dairymen’s Association, says he believes that the sanitary milk question has been carried too far. He thinks that milk reasonably clean is good enough for any- body, in which opinion many sensible per- sons will agree. —Last year in Paris, France, 50,000 horses, mules and donkeys were eaten. Many Englishmen and Americans are ac- quiring a taste for horseflesh. It is said to be more notritious than beef and is recom- mended for consumptives. Ouvly healthy animals are slain and the slaughtering is done under supervision of the Government. —Do not put off the renovation of the strawberry bed any longer. Reduce the width of rows by the cultivator and pull weeds from among the plants. Then ap- ply a dressing of rich manure and the vines will make a good growth this fall and enter winter with a large amount of stored-up energy for use in the next spring's crop of berries. —The average uet profit from spraying iu 15 co-operative experiments carried out by farmers under the direction of the New York State Experiment Station doriog the season of 1906 was $13.89 per acre ; the net profis from spraying experiments in 1905 was $20.04 ; in 1904, $24.86, and in 1808, $23.47. Rather convincing evidence that it pays to spray. ~A Maine frait grower says he does his weeding among tbe small fruits with mulching of swale hay, straw or forest leaves. This saves a large amount of bard hoeing, and holds the moisture, keeping the weeds from growing. The fruit is also cleaner while growingand ripening, attains a much larger size and is of a finer quality, paturally bringing better prices. —QOne strawberry grower says that he bas found good results from she use of so- bacco refuse applied on she plantain the fall, giving another application in the spring. He says the white grub will leave a strawberry patoh eo treated. Other growers have not bad such good results from the use of tobacco stems, but they are cheap and the remedy is worth trying. ~The pulpy seeds of cucumbers and to- matoes are hagd to handle when they are to he saved, owing to their being so sticky. The following method is a good one to follow : Scrape oat the inside pulp into a dish, set it in a moderately warm place for 48 hours, or till it sours, then beat it with a stick. Fill the dish with water, drain off and repeat until the seed is bright aod clean. Spread to dry, then pack and label with date. —The apple crop in New York State this year is fully as large as last year, and the general quality is exceptionally good. In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey the orop is equal to that of 1907, bus the qual- ity in both States rune from poor to good. Delaware has an 85 per cent. orop, with quality fair 30 good. The New land and Southern orops are poor, while the Pacific and Middle West crops z:e very good, especially the former. —Prolessor U. P. Hedrick, horticulturists at New York State Experimental Station, saye Pennsylvania shows substantially the same apple crop as last year, but different- ly located, being lighter in the Cumber- land Valley and somewhat lighter in | in the eastern portion of the State, ¢ this shortage is made up in central and especially in the western pars, the quality in the eastern pars being rather while in tbe Western part it is generally good. —According to the Michigan Agrionl. tural College arsenate of lear! troubles much less from settling than Paris green, and does not burn the tender foliage when used as strong as five poands to 50 gallons of water, although three pounds it as much as is commonly needed. At this strength it will furnish a® much arsenic as when a pound of Paris green is used in from 50 to gallons of water. Arsenate of lead also owes much of ite value to ite superior ad- hesive properities, which under ordinary ciroumstances fully doubles its effective- ness, —There are a number of reasons why fall planting of trees and vines is best. First, nearly a year’s growth is attained in excess of that whiob would result were the planting deferred until the following spring. Second, trees can be purchased eaper in fall than io spring. Third, a better assortment of varieties can be se- cured, as well as a better grade of trees, as | in the fall large nomery blocks are un- broken. Fourth, nurserymen have more time and can give better and more prompt attention. fth, there is more time to plant in the fall than spring, and generally the soil is in better condition for planting. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. We have but faith: We eaunot know: For knowledge is of things we see: And yet we trust it comes from Thee, A beam of darkness: let it grow. ~Tennyson. There bas been an absolute rage for pale gray displayed during the whole of the season, and there is no doubt that this | for a very lovely color will be continued for at least some time. Some of the most admired of the gowns were in palest gray, and it is said that a very distinguished personage remarked that no other color red to show off beauntifal jewels so well as this. Sach a remark from such a source will no dotbt contribute to the popularity of a refined and «flective color, which is none the worse for its negative quality. It used to be said of black that no one could look fast in that negation of all color. Old-fashioued people might imagine that the same would be true of gray. Amusing. ly abundant conld be the instances given of the exact opposite of this. How extra ordinary it appears thas the smart women of the fashionable world appear tc model their costurues upon the smartly dressed of ball-world, while the latter do their best to resemble their more respectable sisters. There bas been a tug-of-war in this respect for pale gray dariog this season. The deep reddish brown aud brownish purple shades which have claimed atten- tion as relieving colors this summer are exploited earnestly among the all silks and velvets. Wild plum, Concord grape, prane and various other kindred shades seem likely to figure prominently amoog the winter colorings, Cedar red or cedar brown—which are one and the same thing and soggest the old-time mahogany, though with an added softness of tone—bide fair to be a popular autumn color, and the chandron or copper tones keep their bold upon public favor. Looking over the stocks in the retail shops and peeping into the boxes that con- tain the fall samples, one canno$ help hut inquire whether little folks’ shoe styles are the models from which the grown-up shoes are fashioned, or vice versa. In the styles for the small juniors of course the heels and toesare different; but misses and girls of 10 to 16 wear exactly the same styles as do their mothers. There are little pumps, sandals, Oxfords, dainty slippers and ‘“‘high steps,”” and all of the same materials and combinations as the shoes for grown people. A variety of socks and stockings are of. fered for the wee ones. For wear with white pumps, sandals or slippers there are dainty hose in white of stocking or sock length; tinted ones to wear with colored kid or satin slippers for occasions, and for general wear dark and bright-colored ones with tops in large checks or plaids of the same color intermingled with bright con. trasting colors to wear with black shoes or pumps. Taus, of course, come in light and dark, the dark shades to wear with tan foot. wear. They do say that all-white stockings and sooks are waning in popularity, and that for dressy occasions especially the slippers, stookiogs, sash and bair ribbon will all match in some dainty color. The public has gotten very sensible in regard to wedding gifts. Shops still allow brides to return their presents and get credit for the same, but tha public is get- ting aducated. The stories told about the different brides, who bave immense credits at the leading jewelers and silversmiths for a doz- en of articles returned on the day after the wedding, has made the situation rather ridiculous. The shops have tried so prevent in some measure an immense sale of dupli- oates, as they do not want the trouble of checking off all the returned artioles, but the best method yet introduced is the one of consulting the family. This can be done by hosts of good friends who have no hesitanoy in asking the moth- er of the bride, or one of her bridesmaids, just what the bride would like. In this way a bride gete things tbat she ueeds for her house, and instead of having to write two or three hundred insincere notes of thanks concerning useless artioles, she can write fervid thanks from the bottom of her heart. This is now becoming #0 much of a ous. tom that few people hesitate to talk the matter over with the family of the bride- to-be. If she is choosing furniture and silver of a certain pattern they can add to it in a reasonable way. If she is getting mahogany she doesn’t want a piece of black sent her. It ber silver is all in she Kiog's pattern she does not want heavy repousse. The whole arrangement is quite sensible and so rational when oconduoted in this way thas it should be adopted by every one who has a good Iriend about to be married this agtumn. One or two models for evening gowns show manificent Japanese embroidery em- This is done in the close Japanese method, which is padded and difficult. The designs are immensely bold to put on gowns. They look like the ones we had on wraps last winter. Flying storks and crawling dragons are embroidered in gold and silver bullion, and in heavy silk floss in vataral colors, These are mounted on that new filet tulle which is not perishable and which will be Sxsuedingly lar this winter us an over. diapers or brilliant colored satin founda- tions. It is especially fashionable in smoke color. On the gray tones are worked vivid pieces of embroidery, and the whole is dropped over a gown of blue, red or yel. low satin in tones that blend with the gray. The following recipe for making grape preserves can be used by any housekeeper who is putting up pickles and preserves for the winter. After washing the grapes and picking them from the stems, they are put over the fire with enough water to keep them from coorching. They are gently cooked, and as the seeds come to the surface, they must be carefully skimmed off. When every seed has been lifted, a pound of sugar is added for every pound of frais. It is then cooked ten minutes. It wild are used in this way the rves will be even more palatable. ey will keep in a stone jar, if it is put away from dampness. American Success. The reason of the enormous success of the Americans, the reason of their growing wealth and power on the con- tinent of Europe, is their willingness to take risks. They are brave and are prepared to When a merchant fails in business, banks are found to advance him mon- ey to put him on his feet again, Not so in England. A bankrupt is a pariah: the banks will not give him the least help. His failure creates a terrible fuss.—Frenchman in Pall Mall Gazette His Last Question. The counsel for the opposition had been bullying the witness for an hour or more when he finally asked: “Is it true that there are traces of insanity in your family?’ “It would be folly to deny it.” re plied the witness. “My great-grand father, who was studying for the min: istry, gave it up to become a lawyer.” His Case.

These arid stretobes of sand contain in themselves the elements of h-auty, only needing the prop- er conditions to reveal all thas lies hidden beneath the bleak and barren surface. Something like this ie the condition of the buman hody. Health is every one's prerogative. Yet people live along in suffer- ering and sickness, not realizing that the fair lower of health would springup in this barren life of theirs under right condi- tions. What rain is to the desert Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is to the body. It vitalizes and vivifies. It takes the germs of health and makes them froit- ful. It pushes out the blood taints and foul diseases which mar and maim the body and in place gives an increased flow of pure blood, which nourishes and builds up the body in all its pares and organs.

There is bardly any sacrifice which a true woman will not make to protect her com- lexion from the rude assaults of time, ut good looks are absolutely incompatible with a diseased condition of the delicate womanly organs. Hollow eyes, a sallow complexion and a wrinkled skin, quickly mark the woman whose functions are irreg- ular, or who is a safferer from ‘‘female weakness.” Dr. Pierce's Favorite Presorip- tion bas been taken by manya woman simply in hope of a cure of prostrating d who to her astonishment has found the roses blooming anew on her cheeks as the resnlt of the oure of her digedsed condition. “Favorite Prescrip- tion’’ makes women healthy, and health is Nature’s own cosmetic.
