FARM NOTES. —The dry pasture calls for a soiling crop. —Keep the stables well supplied with fresh air. —Qver-fatness in the sire may hide many defects. —It to better to leave land unplowed than to plow up more than can be well tilled. —Select cows of the type that will fis your requirements. A heifer is apt to give more milk with her second calf. —The average farmer should breed the draft horse. Heavy draft horses are born with an inclination to walk and work. It is inherited. —The Croshy peach has proved itself the best for Northern and Eastern growing. It is the hardiest peach known and is a sure and regular bearer in New England. —Lamhbs make greater gains in feeding than old sheep. Good second-growth olover ie a great feed for lambs. The heaviest fleeces are generally found on mediom-sized sheep. —Onpe of the quickest ways of improving the soil of a farm is to put it dowu to clover, field by field, and pastaring the hogs on it. Cow peas may also be sown, oe when full growth is attained the hoge may be turved in. ~The largest cranberry bog in the world is being established just outside Siasconset. It will cover 500 acres. The work of lay- ing out and cultivating the bog has been going on for over two yeare, and 300 acres will soon be under cultivation. —At Byberry, Pa., there is a farm of nearly 900 acres, owned by Philadelphia. It in the future site of a hospital for the insaue, and the city is working every inch of the land for all it is worth, the insane patients from the West Philadelphia asy- lum doing the work. —An application of 1000 pounds of lime per acre was practically as efficient in case of oats as an application of 2000 pounds, in tests made at the New Jersey Experiment station. In the case of clover the larger application gave the better results. Lime in the form of carbonate produced moredry matter,nitrogen and ash than barved lime. ~The Government reports the bay orop to be 1 52.100 tons, compared with 1 44. 100 10 years average. Total production estimated 67,743,000 tons, compared with 52,677,000 tons last year. Average quality is 94 5 10 last year. Rye estimated against 90 4-10 production, 30,921,000 bushels, against 31,566,000 last year. Qality is bet- ter. —A Kansas grocer bought five sacks of potatoes from a commission firm. They weighed 530 pounds. In the five sacks there were 65 pounds of earth,showing that the potatoes had not been oleaned before packing. The Attorney General has ruled that the commission mao cannot be arrest- ed, hut the farmer can, as he was adulter- ating his potatoes. —That Kaffir corn and milo maize are not properly appreciated in the feed trade is the conclusion of the Texas etation in a feeding test. These graive contain con- siderably less fat or oil than Indian corn and in other constituents the differences are not important. The protein and fat of Kaffir corn are much less easily digested thao the same constituents in Indian corn. In a feeding test the Kaffir corn produced greater gains than milo maize, with Indian corn in third place. ~Persons who have to depend un pon their | own jodgment when buying a borse should have a fairly accurate knowledge of the faults avd failings to which the average horse is inclined. There are few horses thas are perfect, and fewer horse owners that are perfectly honest in their repre. sei tations of the horses they offer for sale. Therefore without the neceessary ex- perience that teaches acourate knowledge of the borse and the closest, critical judg- ment the man who undertakes to buy a horse on his own responsibility is very likely to get fooled. There are a few points in the selection of a horse that may be of service to any prospective buyers, who are readers of the Pennsylvania Farmer, which we give gra- tuitously for their careful consideration. Before the horse is brought out of the stall, go in and investigate for yourself certain details, which once ycu know them, requires no special acumen to decide upon or to he aware of. For instance, is there grain in the feed box and the hour for feeding some time past? He may be a bad feeder, nervous or of delicate appetite. Is the straw under his fore feet unusovally broken and worn? He may be one of those irritable, nervous “‘weavers’’ which constantly eway from side to ride, and which are generally bad feeders and poor property. Are the sides or stall posts battered or kicked? He may be a kicker hy day or night, liable to in- jare himself or other horses in an adjoining stall. Does he tear or injure his blanket? Is he tied in any special way or simply as other horses are? Is he gentle to approach and to handle—no nipping, kicking or pulling back on the halter? Does be stand square on both feet, or rest one or hoth alternately? Does he back quietly out of the stall, picking up each hind leg without sudden spasmodic jerking? When he turns in the gangway does he doso smoothly, or does he flinch in front as if the floor was not even or his feet hurt him more or less? Are his eyes starting and ex- pressionless, his ears aiways forward? These are indications of defective vision. Ouvce out of the stall, notice that he sub- mits quietly to being wiped over and be- tray: no resentment while harneseing, in accepting the bit, bridle, crupper, etc. aud decorously permitting all necessary alterations and atteutions. Accept no de- parture from absolute docility of deport. ment for he sure that if the animal be- trays either excitability, or nervonsness of any kind in the bands of his owner he will he worse with you,for he will take advant- age of your ignorance, and those combina- tions spell trouble. Iu the same way see him led out and hitched to the vehicle to which he is to be driven, noting each stage of the process with the critical eye of the individual! who does not yet own him. Ex- cuse nothing and make no allowances for less or fewer faults than you bave seen. If he makes a move you do not fancy, say so frankly avd look farther. There are others. It you find a horse that is a good actor in all these particulars and apparently sound in all other respects do not stand for a few dollars on the price. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. Tis a very good world that we live in, To lend or to spend or togive in, But to borrow or beg, or get a man's own, "Tis the very worst world, sir, toat ever was known. —Old Song. Cream Dressing For Cold Slaw.—Two tablespoonfuls whipped sweet cream, two of sugar aud four of vinegar ; beat well and pour over cabbage, previously cut very fine and seasoned with salt. When Mounting a Photograph.—To get the best artistic effeot the print should be slightly out of the center. The top margin should always be narrower than the side margine, both side margins should be equal and the bottom margin should be wider than those at the side. Vassar Fudge.—To make the plain Vassar fudge add to two cups white granu- lated or soft hrown sugar one cupful thick oream. Put this over the fire, and when it gets hot add a quarter cake chocolate, grated or broken in fine pieces. Stir con- stantly and vigorously. When it reaches the boiling point add a tables ful but- ter and keep stirring until a littie poured on a saucer creams with beating. Take from the fire, beat until cool and pour in buttered tins. Pimples and blackheads are very often merely the result of a superficial cleansing of the face. Hot water opens the pores and soap oleanees them. For this reason they should both he used every day. Be- fore going to bed the face should be washed in warm water and soap and then rinsed thoroughly. This should be follow- ed by an application of cold cream rubbed thoroughly into the skin. What remains oun the skin should be rubbed off witha soft cloth. In the morning a shorough rinsing with cold water should follow the bath in warm—not hot—water. Not for years has parted bair been so fashionable. Often the part is a little to the lefs side of the head. When the pompadour is worn it is not 3xleme and is limited to the front of the ace. The Psyche knot is now much in vogue and looks particularly well with the tar- ban. Curls are permitted to fall over this knot and to droop picturesquely on the nape of the neck. The bair is being braided a great deal and the woman who has a fine head of bair can now arrange it smartly. There are many, however, who prefer the loose coil to the braided knot aud the English coil is much seen. That the corset is the important point of this season's method of dressing we all know. It bas been dinned into every wom: an’s ears until she is in something of a pavic about it. She does not know whether she will ever be able to choose the right kind of corsets or get hersell into it after her choice is made. The woman who bas given a good deal of study to the art of adjusting her corset is not having a bard time of is. She likes nothing better than to take a morning off before a cheval glass and learn juss how to get herself into a new corset. She knows that it is a lesson that, onoe mastered, comes easily afterward. There are hundreds of other women who have only a casual attitude towards corsets. They consider them an evil and a necessity and, therefore, to be tolerated ; bat they are not studied or chosen with care. As for lacing them in one way aud avoid- ing avother, half the busy women of the world never gave this any thought. They pulled the strings a little in the centre, tied them in a bulging kuot, or, worse still, wrapped them arouud the waist and put on the frock. This casual attitude must be changed. { Even a careless womau doesn’t wish her- | gell to be conspicuous by looking as though | she belonged to a different world from that | of ber weighbors. And she will look the | pare if she continues to he casual about her | corsets. ! It is not necessary that the slender and | well formed woman shonld make herself | unhappy by wearing long-hipped corsets, the hones of which prod her hip bones | every time she moves. But even she will | adopt the corsets that bave contille far | down to allow the skirts to fall without | wrinkling. Even she will lace the hips of | her corset and unlace the waist, | As for the stout woman, she muss learn | what to do and how to do it. Itis not | only possible but easy it she will ouly take | thought to herself, get some other clever | woman to show her how, and then see that | she does it right, with her back to ove | mirror and ber face to another. | The blessed part about adjusting one's ! sell in the new style of corsets is that the | result is =o comfortahle, Where women used to pull in the waist which meant com- | pressing the vital organs, they now pall in the lower part of the abdomen and the hips and lek the tender part of the body have plenty of space. This is necessary hecause of the width of | the new skirts. They are snug-fittiog and cut in a straight line, and the hips must give them a chance to fall straight. As it is pot unhealthy to wear corsets with long pieces of contille over the hips to keep them down, there is no reason why a woman should refuse to adopt this method. Half the women of the world get into their corset: wrong. They shoald be care- fully adjusted after the shoes and stock- ings are oa. They should be unlaced from top to bottom, then put around the hody much lower than they will remain. Io hooking them the second from the bottom hook should be fastened first, then upward. The lowess hook is fastened last. The elastics and then attached to stockings and the lacing begina. There should be a slight pull of the strings at centre and then loops from lower end should be pulled with the fingers ron throogh them, until edges of corset meet. The same thing is done iv less degree at top. The centre strings are pulled together until the corset is comfortable. They should be tied in a loose knot and the ends tucked ander lower edge of corset. Every woman does not understand that a tight corset makes her short waisted and ushes the flesh up from the waist ahove ine of corset, cansing that ugly defect in a woman’e figure, a roll of flesh hangiog over top of corset. The right thiog to do is to buy a large corset. Get one that is comfortable, that meets at back and that does not coufine one 80 across the stomach aad diaphragm that life is a burden. Have a waist as large as you will. No- body is paying any attention to that part of the body in the corset business. Bat see to it that you get the oorsets long enough on the hips to hold in the hips and straighten, the lines. Many Fires In Adirondacks. Utica, N. Y., Oct. 20. — A dozen Utica firemen, one engine and one hose truck left for Lake Kushaqua, above Tupper lake, where Stoneywold sanitarium, the state tuberculosis in- stitution, is threatened by forest fires. Heavy winds in the central Adiron- dacks have picked up the fires which raged during the long drought and are driving them on as furiously as be- fore. Reports are coming in from sec- tions which have hitherto been un- heard from. One fire is cutting a path four miles wide near Big Tupper lak The mill of the International Paper company at Underwood is in the path of this fire. The company has 250 men combatting it. Plercefield, near Loon lake, is threatened by a fire which ap- peared on a mountain and came down from the heights toward the village. Fires are reported from Dolgeville, and one is in the Pleasant lake dis- trict. Another fire is a mile from Oregon, a saw mill settlament in the Dolgeville neighborhood. Hunters Start Fires. Latrobe, Pa., Oct. 20.—Forest fires are sweeping Chestnut Ridge, menac- ing New Derrick, Bradenville, King: ston and Laughlintown. Hunters are presumably responsible for the fires. From Ligonier to Somerset the peak of the ridge is aflame. Large forces cf men have been fighting the fires since Saturday and many have dropped of exhaustion. The towns of New Derry, Bradenville, Kingston and Laughlins- town are also menaced. Farmers de- clare these fires are all due to care- less hunters. Hills Swept By Fire. Columbia, Pa., Oct. 20.—Serious for: est fires are now burning in the York county hills skirting the Susquehanna river, opposite Columbia. Hundreds of acres have been burned over, and the flames are still spreading. Despite the efforts of a small army of men engaged in fighting the fires, much valuable young timber has been destroyed. The smoke hangs thickly over Columbia. Even Lancaster, fifteen miles sway, is filled with smoke. Fires Raging In Maryland. Baltimore, Oct. 20.—Advices from the western part of the state say that forest fires are raging on South moun- tain, Washington county, at present covering an area three miles long by half a mile wide. Farmers are makin: a hard fight against the flames. From the Eastern Shore comes the repori of fires in the woods near Easton, Tai bot county, endangering that town. Fires Raging Around Reading. Reading, Pa., Oct. 20.—Fiercs fires are raging on the mountains egzst and north of Reading. The haze and smoke are so dense that Mount Penn is com- pletely enveloped. It was impossibie to see the mountain a few squares away. On the Blue mountains a great tract has been burned over. The state police fought the flames on Mt. Penn. Gunners Start Big Fires. Pottstown, Pa., Oct. 20. — Forest fires are burning in the Chestnut hills, near Pine Swamp, Chester coun- ty, and in White House hills, this side of Reading. Much damage is being done and scores oi fire fighters are attempting to step the progress of the flames. Cunners started the fires. Fires Causing Heavy Damage. Bradford, Pa., Oct. 20.—A number of forest fires are causing heavy damage in this vielnity. In the Sugar Run and Balivar Run districts valuaable timber is burning, and many oli wel! rigs have been destroyed. 500 Harvard Students In Danger. Boston, Oct. 20.—Five hundred Har- vard students fled pell-mell fram their dinner in Randall hall, Cambridge, when the ammonia reservoir in the ice-making plant burst, flooding the building with suffocating fumes.
