tm SH A A SA A 3 0 AA, AME Democratic Waar, Bellefonte, Pa., November 13, 1908, A FARM NOTES. —Horses, like men, should be comforta Uy cared tur 4 you detire to get good re” salts. --The United States, it is estimated, has 201,794,654 apple trees and 17.716,184 trees. —When lice get a foothold spray the hogs ; also spray the pens aod burn all the rubbish, —Never break a colt by a slow walker because he will fall iuto the same babit ; and habits, once formed, are bard to break. —The manure prodact from a single cow, according to figures of the Department of Agriculture, ranges in value from $30 to $40 per year. —Horses do not need medicine uniess they are actually sick. Good care and good feed with proper exercise is what they re- quire moat of all else. -=The Neiraska Experiment Station has demooatrated tbe fact that a cow reaches her highest production of butter fat before she does her greatest flow of milk. —Milk should be gotten into its place of rmanence as soon as possible after being rawn, as it gathers bacteria and odors rap- idly wherever it is, and shon!d be protect. ed ae soon as possible, : —Jt is claimed that goat milk gives a constitution to she child which cannos§ be obtained from cow’s milk, and also that both the miik and the meat are absolutely free from any tubercular contamination. —Some of the swiftest milkers are the worst to dry up cows. One needs to be rapid, and yet so gentle, so thorough, so painstaking, that the cow will regard the rocess as a relief and a loxary, and will increase in milk rather than diminish. —The answer to the question: ‘‘Are we a beel-eating nation ?"’ 1s given in the faot that Swift & Co. sold $250,000,000 worth of beef in a year! Armour, $270,- 000,000, and others ,000,000, bringin the total to $770,000,000 for heel alone. —A sucoessful [Iowa hog raiser says he puss a pail of coal ashes, a coaple haudlals of salt, and a little air-slacked lime, all well stirred together, in a trough where the hogs can help themselves! It helps to make good bone in the growing pigs, keeps the stomach sweet and prevents scours. —The condition of corn on September 1 was 79.4 per cent. of a normal, against a 10-year average of 81 per cent. spring wheat, when harvested, 77.6 per cent. againss a 10 year average ol 77.9; barley, when harvested, 81.2 per cent. against a 10 year average of 83.5; and oats, 69.76 per cent., against a 10-year average ol 80 7, says the crop report issued by the Depart- ment of Agricaltare. —Poaltry feeding experiments at the Maseachuretts Experiment Station includ- ed rice, a feed which has very little fibre, compared with wheat or oats. It results in a larger production of eggs, bat was not advised for feeding purposes ou account of the cost. However, it is often possible to bay slightly damaged rice at less even than the cost of corn and wheat, and in such cases it is a desirable food, for variety for either the laying hens or the young stock. —Mutton sheep makea greater xain of flesh than steers, according to experiments made by the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- tion. The food reqaired to produce 100 pounds of wether lamb was 364 pounds of corn, 206 pounds of corn silage, 158 pounds of corn fodder and 22 pounds of potatoes, To produce 100 pounds of steer requires 394 poands of corn, 181 pounds of bran and 654 pounds of silage. The results sho wed that silage was also an excellent food for the sheep as well as the steer. —The famous English harness blacking is made as foliows : Three ounces of tur- pentine and two ounces of white wax are dissolved together over a slow fire. Then add one ounce of ivory black and one dram of indigo well pulverized, and mix togeth- er. When the wax and turpentine are dis- solved add the ivory black and indigo, and stir until cold. Apply thin. Wash after- ward aod you will have a beautiful polish, This blackiog keeps the leather soft and is excellent for harness and boggy tops. — When the chickens are 9 to 10 weeks old at the Maine Experiment Station, and the cockerels weigh 1} to 1} pounds, the sexes are separated and the cookerels put by themselves into vacant brooder houses, 100 to a house. Each house has a yard in front ahout 12 feet square. The cookerels are fed on porridge three times a day, in V shaped troughs. This is made of six parte cornmeal, two parts middlings, ove-half i linseed meal and two parts heef sorap. Joey are fed all they can eat iu one-half r. — Mustard is the oldest of condiments, the Egyptians regarding it as an aid to di- gestion. The Asians ate it freely, and it was sold by peddlers in Solomon's time. The Normans and Anglo Saxons in the ear- liest times never went to war withoat an ample supply of pi mustard, they considering it both food and medicine. The plant seems to thrive in all parts of the world, and is eaten by every civilized na- tion and many heathen tribes, either as a spring salad, for which the young leaves are delicious, or a reasoning prepared from the ground seed. ~It is now claimed that the United States makes just as good limburger cheese as does the provinee in Belgium where is originated. The American method is to take a piece of a call’s stomach and eet is away in a warm place in a can of whole milk. In about forty minutes the curding mess is pounded and then the whey press- ed out. Afterward forms are filled and farther drainage permitted. Salt is rub- bed ov the outside uotil is becomes slip- pery; then the cheese is set away in the cellar to ripen for a month or two, and the germs do the rest. —A recen’ writer explains the peculiar attitude and hissing of the goose eomething as follows : When you enter a yard where geese are they will stretoh out sheir necks and hiss like a serpent. They will do the same when sitting upon their nests, This authority sass that in the far East, long ago, geese nested in the tall grass, and in some way unkoown discovered that no sound would drive away the introder as quickly as the bissing of a snake, the bite of which was poisonous and meant death. Therefore when the intruder approached near the nest, the geese would stretch out their necks, making it resemble a suake and send forth sounds like a snake, which were successful in driving away the ene- my. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. It had done me good to be somewhat parched by the heat and drenched by the rain of life. —Longfeliow, Furs are in great demand this winter. Pas a pinch of salt in each can of toma- toes June before sealing it. This preserves the flavor and beips to keep the vegetables a long time. The most elegant and attractive dinner tables are szsldom the most elaborate ones. Linen which has the gloss of good launder. ing, obina and silver which shine from per- fect care and a few flowers ora jardiniere of ferns in the center make a more impres- sive dinner table than the more elaborate ones ornamented with lace and ribbons and expensive centerpieces. Simmer slowly one pound of dates in enough milk to cover. Sift them through a sieve to free from the stones; add one-half cap of sugar, the yolks of three eggs, a lit- tle civnamou and a pint of boiled milk. Bake in deep-lined plates, as for custard pie. Whip she white of the eggs and frost, baving flavored the frosting slightly with vanilla. Brown nicely. This is sufficient for two pies. The one-piece gown bas never had a more substantial vogue than at this hour, bat in its wake there are endless varieties of other models which show no disposition to play second to any style. The leader in all classes is the Directoire. Not a dressmaker or agown hnyver has had the courage to ‘‘tarn down” this popular fashion. Even the most conservative houses have had to admis that the style is here for the next few months. Bat tbe modifications are often more numerous than the points copied from the original type. There has long been a rule of fashion that only waists of the same color as the ekirt should be worn and this year finds no relenting in this bayd and fast role. But many women set fashion at defiance aud wear waists of dainty white-.and no one can deny that they are most becoming. For these brave persons are nets and washing tulles in almost endless variety and many new designs. Filet nets have not quite the vogue they once enjoyed, net of rather Soarge octagon-shaped mesh being better iked. Waists of net, either in white or in col- ors, matching the skirts with which they are to be worn, are elaborately tacked and listle trimmed, depending for effeot ov cnt aud live rather thao on elaboration. Some- times polka dots of various sizes and bril- fiant color are band-embroidered on these waists and ove lovely blouse of gold-colored vet noted was trimmed with vertical bands ol Egyptian embroidery--quite a riot of color, but so skillfully designed that it was a delight to the eye. A bint for home dressmakers to remem- ber is that the lining, whioh in the major- ity of cases is composed of satin, muss be closely fitting nod carried down aimost to the koees. [t must not possess any super. fluous seams, as unnecessary waterial isa pitlall to be avoided. This lining is fre quently boned like a corset to ensure per- feos fitting, the skirt being make quite full at the hem to allow complete ease of move. mant. Square Tarnovers—For these cat squares of good pastry. Make ready a filling by thickening a capfual of bot milk with three tablespoonfuls of flour wet to a paste with cold water, Let it boil for a minute, see that it is free from luwps, take from the fire and pour on three eggs, beaten well, with a balf capfual of powdered sagar. Re- tarn to the fire and stir to a thick, smooth cream. Flavor to taste. Whea cold pus it by the spoonful in the middleof a square of the paste and fold the corners to the middle, pinching them trgether there. Bake to a good brown and eat cold.—The Delineator. Sweetbreads and chicken used in equal proportions make a delicious salad. Boil the sweetbreads very slowly with half a dozen cloves aud half a bay leaf for neariy an hour. Then drain and throw at once into cold water to blanch them. Drain and dry them, press them bard with one hand and cut into thio slices with the other. Remove all membrane and cut the slices into pieces. Sprinkle them with a little vinegar, salt and pepper, put a slice or two of onion on them and les them stand for balf ao hour or thereabout. Meanwhile boil a young fow] slowly until it is tender, take the meat from the bones, and when 1s is cold ont it into dice. Toss the two kinds of meat together in mayounase and serve on lettuce leaves. There is a new feature in the makeap of the fashionable skirt which will belp ous the dressmaker who has bad ber troubles in trying to bring the unlined perfectly fisted skirs into correct lines. This is a sheath girdle lining that is sha to the waist and hips like a glove and that forbids any stretching of the material in drawing it tight enoogh at these poiuts. Sach gir. dles are found under high-waisted Direc- toire skirts and in otherwise unlined prin- cess models. In some of the soft satin skirts made a= scanty as the exigencies of moving permit, and that are to be worn with kniockerbockers in place of pessicoats, there is often a satin or silk facing for 10 inches or thereabout at the bottom of the skirt. Where there is one of the shapely trains, especially on velvet skirts, a thick cord finishes the bottom. It is a great mistake to sew, read or do other close work by artificial light which comes from any distance much above the level of the eye. Use a kerosene or gas lamp, which can be placed at the proper height. To demonstrate the tiuth of the ohserva- tion, one has only to sit indoors in the day time aod let the light pour through the upper foot or two of the window, keeping the rest of the window securely lightproof.

Educating Blind Children. “Ot all she sightless only about one in thirty is under ten years, says Jobo Macy, in she October Everybody's. *‘Bat the blivd children under school age are au important, if swall, class. Their education must be begun early. Nurseries for blind babies bave been established in Brooklyn and Bostou. Most blind babies, however, are kept at howe, and at home she education must be carefully carried out if the ohil- dren are $0 receive the best from she schools later in life. Blind children should be en- couraged to romp, taught to dress them- selves and eat properly at table. ““Treat a blind child as if it were nor- mal, les it mingle with other children, and encourage healthy npaoghtiness, meddle- someness, and a tendency to explore. It is the child that ‘gives no trouble’ and is content to liein a corner for whom the mother bas most cause to fear. “Iu any intelligent household the blind child can be tanght the Roman letters, em- bossed on wooden playing blooks, and can learn to read Braille. All members of the family should learn Braille, not only for the sake of teaching him, bat in order to write to him when he grows up and is sepa- rated from his relatives. Any one can learn the Braille alpbabes iv a day, read it rap- idly (with the eye)in a week, and write it on a Braille machine (which costs only a few dollars) about as easily as one can learn to vse a common typewriter. ‘““When the child is of school age he should he sens to the uearest institution. There are in America over forty institu. tions for the general education of blind youth. The carriculam is like that in schools for the seeing, with such special apparatus and instruction as are necessary to enable the blind to read and write and pursue the ordinary branches—history, geography, arithmatio, and so on. Like other public schools, some are good, some are not. The people see to it that schools for the seeing are as good as conditions al- low. But the education of the blind, being regarded as a mysterious and special busi- ness, has heen entrusted to a few institn- tions, which bave been fiee from public scrutiny. The superintendents of one or two institntions have in times past pulled the wool over the eyes of their trustees and have dealt to the public what Huckleberry Finn calls ‘tears and flapdoodle.’ Bat ruost of the work in the schools is sincere, and it will become moe intelligent and efficient the more widely the capacities and the needs of the blind are understood by the publio.’’—Christian Advocate. In the Tower of London are yet preserv- ed some of the relics of tie past, when men used ‘‘the thamb-sorew and the rack for glory of the Lord.”” Some of these instru- ments of torture are dved deep with the blood of the unfortunates who suffered from them, and wany of these sufferers were women. We shudder at the thought, and yet women today, are undergoing a slow torture, incomparably more severe than the torments of the tortare chamber. When the nerves are racked ceaselessly, when the day is joyless and the night is sleepless, many a woman sees the gauut, wild-eyed phantom of insanity clutching at her in the darkness, Even insanity, when caused hy disease of the womanly o*- gaus, has been cared by Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription. It has cured St. Vi- tus’s dance and other forms of nervoas dis: ease. It is a medicine remarkable for its direct action upon the delicate female or- gaos, and its wonderfal healing power. It heals ulceration and inflammation, cures female weakness, soothes pain and tones up the nervous system. Is contains no al- cohol, and is altogether free from opicm, cocaine and other narcotics. —It is wise tc sow potash in apple orch- ards, as it is one of the most important el- ements of plant food.

The land and the scenery which I had known for years were entirely al- tered. The very hills, piled high with white hallstones, were a different shape, and torrents of muddy water poured down from all sides. And when the red sun rose into a clear bright sky the scene of ruin and desolation was awful to look at. Buildings had been hurled to the ground and were nothing more than hills of hailstones. A large dam I had spent two years in making had been completely swept away. In another dam which had re- mained unbroken the hailstones had accumulated and piled themselves up over twenty feet in eight. There was not a sign of water in this huge dam, just a huge pile of frozen hailstones.— Wide World Magazine. Castoria. CASTORIA FOR INFANTS and CHILDREN. Bears the signature of CHAS. H. FLETCHER.
