Cs ——————— Bellefonte, Pa. October 16, 1908, —Work thought out abead is balf done. —Secretary Wilson reports that the pro- duction of beet sugar has increased five-fold in seven years. The yield is now 345,000 tons. —French poultrymen mix spices and herbs with the feed for (fattening poultry, 80 as to impart a delicious flavor to the meat. ~—1It is claimed that a quart of milk is equal in feeding value to 20 cents, which is the cost of five-sixthe pound of sirloin steak. —After comparing the merits of whole corn or cracked corn for laying hens, the Maine Experiment Station concludes shere is nothing in the results to suggest that it is necessary or advisabie to crack the corn for the hens kept for laying eggs. —I¢ is time well spent to sorape the old appie trees. The rough bark way all be removed and burned, thus destroying myriads of insect eggs. Follow this up be- fore spring opens with a wash e of strong soft soap suds, washing the trunk thoroughly as high as possible. — Despite all that has been said and writ- ten in favor of sheep husbandry, there has been a decided reduction in the number of sheep in the United States during the past ten years. Figures from the Department of Agriculture showed that on January, 1st, 1907, this had decreased to 53,240,- 000 head. —8Sour crop is a more or less common ailment among fowls. Fowls thus afflicted vowit a quantity of fluid when held with head down, and there is a soft feeling to their crop. A good remedy is one teaspoon- ful each of sugar and baking soda, wixed in a teacupful of warm water. Give the bird two teaspoonfuls of this once a day. —Feather-pulling among fowls may be checked by dissolving powdered aloes and water and washing the feathers of the birds shat bave boen plucked. This renders the feathers distasteful to the culprits that do the plucking. Bran moistened with vine- gar is said to cure the habit in hens that have contracted it as a result of indigestion. —There is an old belief that sheep and cat- tle will nos feed or the same range, but this is denied by a Texas writer, who says : “Down our way we bave the finest cattle and the finest sheep of the country, both feeding from the same range and both doing well. The owners are prosperous alike from both these branches of the stook- raising industry.” —Some writers olaim thas the kingbird does not eat any bees, but the drones, pre- ferring them because they cannot sting. Be that as it may, we do know that this bird eats the robher-fly,one of the worst enemies of the bee-hive. In fact, he is a great de- stroyer of flies of all kinds. He is also valu. able to the faimer for driving away the orow, hawk, eagle and all birds which molest poultry. —The average weight of eggs is about eight to a pound, so that a dozen would weigh about one and a half pounds. A pound of eggs contains more nourish- ment than a pound of meat. There is no flesh food that may be served in so many palatable ways as nor as easily ob- tained by farmers. are a perfeot food, containing all the constitaent elements of nourishment. —The orops of 1908 will be worth near- iy $8,000,000,000, according to figures pre- Parad by the Department of Agriculture. e report says there are indications for great orops. For eight years the American farmer has enjoyed unp:coedented prosper- ity, and now the ninth ising harvest is practically assured. Never have there been nine such years—years of big yields and high prices. —A Pennsylvania farmer is reported in a Government bulletin as having made over 100 bushels of corn per acre, rarely falling below thas yield. He plants clover after wheat or early spring crops are har- vested, and finds it greatly improves the soil. The olover is plowed under during the fall and mixed with soil by onltivation next spring. He seleots his seed at harvest time and praotices shallow cultivation. Hie Shire crop for last year averaged 130 els. —Manare applied to the soil at the Iowa Experiment Station, at the rate of eight tons per acre, was decidedly beneficial to the growth of clover. In one case the manure increased the yield of the crop from 2800 pounds per acre to 5120 pounds, The station concludes that if 40 tons of manure are available on a farm of average size, this material should be applied to four or five acres of land which are to be seeded with clover. The olover which is grown should he fed on the farm, and the manure used to fertilize another field of olover. —Have you ever tried a winter rye tare for the cows? It is well worth wate todo so. Then you will need very little batter color preparation. In the few years stock feed bas be- come h in and harder to get. The ory Sl fhe ok es Jor pure id hep 1m. posed requirements on she modern ry- man which have bad consid arable effect upon te. Hence, to him, the separa- tor, with ita saving of labor, sime and mon- ey, its benefit to his produos, has come as an incalculable benefit. Especially is this true St fhe had separator. 1a shy arly years of separator use, power to available; and to the farmer on small scale the expense for a boiler and engine pre- oladed its use. Besides, few had the neo- oily knowledge of how to use power. Milk should be cooled immediately after being taken from the cow to keep is clean and sweet. When the temperature is up the germs develop a great deal more rapidly. The cooling may be done by placing milk in a tank of cool ines Lpeleialy ig water) and stirring the milk frequent- y.

Fresh, clean, solid batter always bri & beftar price on the market than the soft Dairy cows should not be too fat. Sheald not rob the milk pail to put on Cows know almost to the minute when leeiing time comes 'round and they should not be kep$ waiting long. Before milking wash and sponge dry the oow’s udder to prevent impurities getting into the milk pail. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. And lovers, of all creatures, tame or wild, Can least brook management, however mild per. With skin, hair, teeth and baods im- maoculate and well cared for, there are suli the clothes of the well groomed woman to consider. They, too, are spotless wo the smallest detail. Her tailor-made gowns are always kept pressed, brushed and cleaned, no matter how coarse the ma- terial ; her shirtwaists arealways clean and uorumpled, no matter Low simple ; her collars and ruchings are always freeh each morning ; her shoes are polished each time she goes ous of the house, and the heels are never run over ; ber white gloves are always white, the fingers are always whole, and the bhattovs all 1n place. The braids on her skirts are never frayed, and the buttons are never off ber waists. When she lifts her skirt in she streets she reveals neither a ragged #ilk skirt nor a bedraggled white one ; nor is a bole in her stocking revealed just above the shoe top. Every article of clothing is clean and whole, and looks as well as care can make it. More: over, everything fits, if one has the good fortune to be able to find a good tailor or dressmaker. Skirts bang evenly and fis around the hips ; jackeis follow the line of figure and do nos honoh or drop carelessly in the hollows. Everything fits that can be made to fit, with the best lines that nature and the tailor combined can give one. Gloves and shoes should fit perfectly, since they are not dependent upon the pervereities of tailoss. Invisible nets solve the problem of muss- ed hair for many. Naturally they muss match perfectly. And shen they must not be too tightly adjusted. It is thie tighs- pess that has inflanced many against them aod oconvioced others that a net and a graceful coiffare canvot exist on the same head. While these nets will not perform wonders, they will preserve waves much longer than these evidences of the iron would otherwise last. These waves, by the way, may be made to last louger by applying preparations that hold she hair in curl ; quince seed or gum arabic are the two preferted sticky ingredients. Of either of these ooly a small quaotity should be used at a time, because as the liquids dry they take on a powdery appearance that is very noticeable. MAKING CURLS STICK A harmless and effootnal bandoline is made from three ounces of gum arabio dis- solved in half a pint of warm rose water. This will take several hours. Afterward it is strained aod a drop of a solution of aniline red is added to give a tint. To use it, pot on hair before waving with irons or on curlers. Persons who prefer a quince preparation should use this formula, consieting of a tablespoonful of she seeds put into a pint of sols water and gently simmered until is is reduced to three gills. After straining and cooling, two tablespoonfuls of cologne and swo of alcohol should be added. 3 This is applied in the same way as bando- ne. VALUE OF MOISTURE. Many women would find shat if they gave their hair sufficient moisture it would wave or show a tendency toourl. This is not the case, however, with tresses thas are naturally oily, whose heaviness can only be taken from straightness by the applica- tion of heat or other drying means. But for bair of light flafily texture the water treatment has great possibilities. Some- times merely dampening it with water will be sufficient. This is done while dressing the bair. The hair near the head is then lightly gone over with a wet brash, and effort should be made to lay it in waves. Better than water and very efficacious for holding loose ends in place, are glyocer- ine and water in the proportion of a tea spoonful of the former to half a pint of the latter. This makes a dressing that is not greasy, but ‘‘holds’’ better than olear water. This is to be a season of feathers. Milliners say that never before has there been so great demand for plumes, tips, quills, feathers of all kinds, on the Fall bats. Especially are the sweeping piotur- esque styies of feathered trimmings desired. And is behooves the woman who would be well-dressed to choose carefully the ostrich feathers which shall grace her best Winter cheapeau. Nothing looks quite so cheap as a cheap ‘‘made’’ plame, while a good natural os- trioh festher will last through ball a dozen Seasons. The quill should he one long continnous iece, soeomiing to the forewoman of one of ew York’s largest wholesale feather houses, and 1t should also be smooth, glossy and pliable, and the flues wide, pliable and without d2fective marks visible to the eye. When buying a black ostrich plume al- ways be careful to select the one with the finest gloss. Dall blacks and browa black indicate either a poor quality or poor dye- ing. Ifitie the latter, the plume may be redipped, but if the former, it is no good except for lining, and poor lining at that. The most lar and useful ostrich feather is the 18 inoh plume in black. Get the best grade, reourl it carefully yourselt or bave it done by a skilful repairer and you will bave your money’s worth of wear from is. The best ostrich plumes are plucked from Nubian birds in South Africa. While feathers are raised in several parts of this country, they are so few that it seems almost useless to take them into consideration when the demand 1s so great. Nearly all fancy ostrich feathers are made of the sheaper grades. By fanoy we do not, however, mean either the willow plumes or the first-grade pompon. Both styles require the best grade of feathers throughout. Willow plumes will be worn more this season than during the last season, and if possible they are even more beautiful. The price of good willow ranges from $15 to $50. As the tying of the feathers re- quires skilled bandiwork and the best materials, there is reason for the price. On the other , a good willow does not lose its curl and freshness soon, and for that reason itis well worth the extra dollars paid for it. Of course, the large bat with its steeple. high crown is largely responsible for the craze for fanoy feathers. It takes a lot to trim one of these huge hats, and never be. fore bave feathers been in such demand. Breakfast Crullers.—Oue quart flour, two heaping baking powder, a little salt.

About the Worst Torture That Ever Afflicted Mankind. “You of the younger generation.” said the dentist severely. “don't appre ciate the importance of the conquest of toothache that dentistry has made “Toothache is the worst torture tha! ever aficted mankind. Its pains ‘lancinating’ they are technically called —are worse than the pains of cancer. Worse than cancer; that is the truth I have heard it from physicians: have heard it from three old peopir whom cancer finally killed. They al! said that the pain of cancer at iis worst was mild beside the pain of the worst toothache, “Toothache drove De Quincy to opium eating. De Quincy. too, says in his ‘Opium Eater'-—like all dentists, | have the passage by heart: * ‘No stronger expression of tooth- sche's intensity and scorching fierce ness can be imagined than this fact, that within my private knowledge two persons who had suffered alike under toothache and cancer have pronounc- ed the former to be on the scale of tor- ture by many degrees the worse. In both there are at times lancinating pangs—keen, glancing, arrowy radia- tions of anguish—and upon these the basis of comparison is rested, paros- ¥sm against paroxysm, with the result that 1 have stated.’”—New Orleans Times-Democrat. A VERY PRETTY LETTER. The Story of Byron's Proposal to Miss Milbanke. Byron's proposal to his wife, Miss Milbanke, was made :.fter sordid dis- cussion and study and lacked all im- pulse. Lady Melbourne, who stood in his confidence, observing how cheerless and unsettled his mind and prospects were, strenuously advised him to war ry. She suggested a certain lady, but Lord Byron fancied the idea of murry- ing Miss Milbanke. “No,” sald Lady Melbourne; “Miss Milbanke will not suit you. In the firs: place, she hag no fortune now, and you want money immediately. In the next place, you want a person who wiil have great admiration for your genius; she has too great an admiration for herself.” “Well,” said Byron, “as you please.” And, sitting down, he wrote a letter to the lady recommended by Lady Mel- bourne. He received a refusal. “Now, you see,” sald he, “Miss Mil banke is to be the person, after all. | will write to her.” As soon as he had finished his friend, still remonstrating, read the note and observed: “Well, really. this is a very pret) letter. It is a pity it should not go.” “Then it shall go." exclaimed Byron And. so saying, he sealed and sent the fiat of his unhappy fate. The colored prescher who remarked ‘*Brethren, there is one place to which we oan turn and always find sympathy—the dictionary,” probably meant more than he said. Certain it is that about the only place to which some women could turn for the sympathy they need, would be she dio- tionary. The husband doesn’t sympathize. The family whisper ‘‘Mother has one of her nervous spells again.” Everybody seems to feel aggrieved thas their liberty to slam doors and romp around the house should be curtailed by the requirements of ‘‘Moth- er's nerves.” Help is better than sym- pathy, and help for every nervous woman is found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Presori tion. It heals diseases of the womanly organs which cause nervousness, and it nourishes the nerves themselves into strength. It does away with the ‘nervous spelle”’ of women. —-—Bacon—Your wifeis a dream ?
