SBellefonte, Pa., October 16, 1908.
—The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates the corn this year at 2,700,000,-
000 bushels, valued at $1,250,000,000.
—To avoid danger of fistula always
promptly astend to ulcers or abscesses
caused by bad- fisting collars or saddles.
— Nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia
and cottonseed meal are the three most
valuable fertilizers for yielding nitrogen.
—It is a mistake to plant trees until the
ground is ready, or to plant io a soil that
is not thoroughly underdrained and en-
riched before planting.
—The dairy cow needs five times the
amount of carbon in Ler food as of the
protein, because she must from that pro-
duce both heat and energy.
—Goats’ milk is considered next to
mother’s milk in valae for infants, and
children brought up on it will not develop
sorofulous glands or tuberculosis.
—QOpce a week give the horse a warm
bran mash. Do not get it too thin—jast
wet enough to be moist. Add about a pint
of whole oats to three or four quarts of
bran.
—It is said that last year the farmers of
this country purchased more than $112.
000,000 worth of farming implements and
thousands of shem have purchased automo-
biles.
—The best feed for making muscle is
oats. They are not heating nor very fatten:
ing. The young calves should be given
oats in order to give them muscle and make
them plump.
—Last year Indiana's wheat area was
placed at 2,391,748 acres, yielding 34,874,
726 bushels, or an average of 14.58 bushels
to the acre. This year the acreage is said
to be 2,056,615.
—F. D. Coburn, the agriculturist, who
refused a seat in the United States Senate
when appointed to it by the Governor of
Kansas, says: ‘An alfalfa field is said to be
a hog's idea of heaven.”
—Snowfalls do not in any way interfere
with the goat's prosperity, for their feed is
still above the snow, and if the snow does
not get above the trees, the goat keeps on
eating as the snow goes up.
—QOne ounce each of tincture of ginger
and geotian ata dose in a pint of cold
water, twice a day for two or three weeks,
will start the thin animal to laying oo flesh,
The medicine can be mixed with a little
soft feed,
—Soils poorly drained, and so long hold-
ing stagnant water, often in this way
damage and finely destroy roots, thus
causing the plants to perish. Plants sul-
fer for want of oxygen when the air can-
not get to the roots.
—[If the hog loses the use of its limbs,
feed less corn and more bran and oats. If
the trouble is very bad, give eight or ten
drops of pux vomica in feed twice a day.
Keep the bowels open by giving an abun-
dance of green food.
—A mixtare of equal parts of licorice and
ginger in the hog feed two or three times a
day is recommended for the pig that
coughs. A lamp of coal tar placed well
down the throat while the pig is held op
on its hind legs isalso good.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.

Were not attained by sudden flight,
Bat they, while their companions slept,
Were tolling upward in the night.
—Longfellow.
Did you ever notice that the girl in she
navy bloesuit of sailored foish always
looks well ? Blues may pg blues
may go—Beauvals may te Copen~
bagen, duck’s wing blue may subdue the
world of fashion, but still the girl in the
navy blae suit stands out. Styles, too, may
change as wilfully as they please—empire
may yield precedence to Directoire, plaits
may become obsolete and clinging skirts
may be heralded throughout two conti.
nents, but still the severely tailored suit of
blue carries the same old conviction of
being well dressed. :
Somehow or other the girl who wears
navy bine always seems to possess a nice
and fastidious taste in accessories. Her
bat is always plain and in good taste, her
gloves and veil are ever fresh, and her
shoes well polished. So, thoagh, perhaps
she has not one other garment in the world
the girl in the navy blue suit is sure to
look well, she is bound to argne you into
thinking that she is consumately well
groomed. Is she not, in fact, eligible for
odes, madrigals, sonnets, this girl who
wears a navy blue suit ?
The fashion of wearing drop earrings
having come in again, many women are
using thew, despite the barm the pendants |
do. More than one wowan remembers
that as a child the ears of her mothers were
fascinating because of the lobes, instead of
being natural, had a slit more or less long
in the middle, and these, the child was
told bad been done hy earrings. Extreme |
oases where the lobes had heen torn down
to the edge by the weight of the oruaments
were not uncommon,
It is sincerely to be trusted shat nothing
of this sort will come in again, and at pres-
ent the likelihood seems remote, for there |
is no doubt that the pendants at present |
presciibed by fashion are neither extreme |
in weighs nor in length. l
The little fur or mousseline frill will be |
quite fashionable, the latter to he worn |
antil the commencement for winter weath- |
er. Then we shall see the dark colored |
frill with the ends of the ruffles touched
with narrow rims of fur. The kind of far
is generally skank, and the most fashion-
able frills are as pear the shade as possi- |
ble—a very dark brown tone.
Common Cents.
The copper cents weighed 264
grains ; the common hronze cent of
today weighs but forty-eight grains. It
consists of ninety-five per ceut. copper,
three per cent. tin, and swo per cent. zine.
The alloy gives is a better surface, and is
ess brittle.
A Connecticut concern takes the bronze
bricks, cats them into strips, 10lls them to
sheets of a proper thinness, ous of which
the blanks are punched.
The blanks are fed to machines, which
mint them at the rate of eighty a minute,
stamping by dies both sides of the coin at
once, and automatically disposing of one
while receiving another. The completed
pennies are d into boxes beneath,
and all tat remains to be done is the count-
ing of the newly -made pieces, which is done
with marvelous rapidity by the worker,
who thinks nothing of reckoning 3,000 of
them in thirty seconds. He uses a device
known as the counting board, which re
oeives 500 at a time This is an inclined
plane with columns the exact width of a
cent, separated by metal partitions, which,
in height, exactly equal the thickness of
the coin. The cents are spread over this
board, and drop into the grooves prepared
for them, all surplus pieces falling off.
Ouve pound avoird upois of the cent blanks
makes one dollar and forty cents’ worth of
pennies when coined ; in other words, there
are 140 blanks to the pound. The blanks
are shipped to the mins in strong wooden
boxes.
The stream of copper which flows out
continually from Philadelphia has a his-
tory like that of many rivers in western
deserts, which are lost finally in the sand.
Nobody knows what becomes of the mil-
lions on milliovs of cents that are minted
annually (the production varies from 25,-
000,000 to 90,000,000 per annum;) they
simply vanish from sight and are gone for-
ever. The phenomenon seems strange,
and is nos easily accounted for.
People say. ‘What becomes of all the
pins?’ That is easily answered. Pins soon
corrode, and thas are soon transformed into
nothing that is recognizable. A copper
cent, on the other hand, is indestructible,
comparatively speaking. But the solution
of the problem seems to be that cents are
subject to more accidents than any other
coins; they change hands ten times as often
as dimes, for example, and, being of small
value, they are not cared for.
Thus it is that the mint in Philadelphia
i# obliged to keep surning ons pennies as
an average rate of ahout 4,000.000 a month
in order to keep up thesupply. The peony-
in-the slot machines have greatly increased
the demand for cents. It is said that a sin-

—A secret of high dairy production is
the cow with an enormons capacity for as-
similating food. A cow that can, in win-
ter time, eat daily about 30 pounds of
silage, 35 pounds of sagar beets, 10 pounds
of clover hay, 21 pounds of grain mixture,
will run 3 pretty good chance of carrying
off the laurels in a butter contest,
—The fat found in food stuffs can only
serve as a fuel or energy producer, or to
establish fatty tissue. Fatty tissue gives
potensial energy and is a reserve fael sap-
ply for the animal. Protein may also in a
case of need serve as an energy producer
and may be used to form fat, but the use
for such purposes is uneconomical.
—A dairyman says that one of the great
mistakes made by some dairymen is the
short rations during the winter and have
them pick up on grass the next season, and
make them fair profits. The cow which
ie reduced to semi-starvation during the
winter must supply the needs of her own
system firsts before she can milk as well as
ever.
—Cows seldom kick unless there is some
cause for it. It may be a sore, in sight or
out of sight, ora swelling, or it may be
long finger nails. Possibly rome previous
injury, or pain makes the cow so afraid
and nervous that she cannot resist the in-
olination to kick. Kicking can often be
cured hy finding what the cause isand re-
moving it.
—QOate is the ideal grain for horses. The
kervel proper contains a large amount of
the nutriment. The bolls sc..ounding
the grain give the material bulk that tends
to prevent overfeeding and at the same
time makes the food light and easy of
digestion hy the fluids of she stomach.

caution and learn by experience whas oan

The blouse en suite has to a great extent |
replaced the separate blouse in the cold |
weather wardrobe, and the silk waist in its |
old-time guise is hopelessly out of fashion, |
but many women stardily cling to the
separate blouse of white or cream color.
The children’s antomn clothes must
now be planned, and not the least import
aut point in regard to them is the color.
Is is absolutely cruel of the mother to
make over her own things for little girls
and boys regardless of their suitability.
Black, for instance, should never be used
for children’s everyday clothes, though
black aud white is quite allowable if the
fumily mourns some near relative. A little
girl may wear a black hat, particalarly if
it is built on piotare lines,
When selecting material for a dressy top-
coat for a ohild to wear to dauocing class or
to parties there could be no better choice
than old rose broadcloth.
Party frooks should be of white cotton
or handkerchief linen.
School frocks may be brown, red, navy
blue or some plaid material of linen or
serge. Afternoon frocks may be of challis
in some dainty figure.
Jewelry, excepting plain gold baby pins
or a gold bar at the collar, should not be
worn by children until of an age when
their skirts reach the shoe tops.
Veils should not be worn by a little girl
under 15, excepting chiffon veils on very
cold days or for motoring.
Children’s gloves should be of dog or
buckskin,
A Furniture Duster.—For carved farni-
ture there is no better duster than a new
paint brush just large enough to work nice-
y into the orevices.
All buttons are now made of the same
material as the dress, or to match the
revers collar or their facings. They are
large for the coats, hut nos of such great
dimensions when adorning the skirt.
Large flat buttons are to be seen on the
latest hats. They are made to appear as
though fastening the wings or other trim-
ming in place. The effect is very smart
aud novel.
Sour Milk Cake.—One and one-half caps
of sugar, two thirds cup sour milk, one egg
one-half cup butter, two and one-half cups
flour. Mix well and bake in a loaf.
Cream Waflles.—Beat two eggs light and

spoonful soda has been beaten. Add half
a teaspoonful salt and flour to make a thin

which must be piping hot. Tarn the iron

As one weak link weakens a chain, so
weak kidneys weaken the whole body and

Overwork, stralus, colds and other caus
es injure the kidneys, and when their ac-

from the excess of uric poison circulated
in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and nrioa-
