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

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.

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

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 bas been remarked that when rain
falls in the desert it at once begins to de-
velop verdure and beauty. 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.

Good looks are coveted by every woman.
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-
