Bemorraic; Wadpone
Bellefonte, Pa., December 4, 1908.
—Let the beginner be content with a
small flock.
—A London remedy for roup is about
three drope of camphor on a piece of bread.
—Lambs can be fattened without corn,
Feed them barley, alfalla, turnips apd
field peas.
—A little granulated charcoal mixed
with the soft food is excellent in cases of
diarrhoea.
—Corn pus into the silo will produce
more feed to the acre than most anything
else for dairy cows.
—The man who whips a horse for shying
is nothing less than a fool. As a rule it
makes the borse shy worse.
—Get the cow’s good will and she will
not hold ap the milk. Kindness will ao-
complish what abuse oever can.
—Jt is olaimed by vegetarian experts
that one acre of land will comfortably sap-
port four persons on a vegetable diet.
—Those who have tried is, claim that a
teas fal of Venetian red in a gallon of
drinking water is a good howel-trouble pre-
ventive.
—A sow can raise two litters of pigs rach
ear, hut she must be well fed and cared
or to do it. Feeding the sow means feed-
ing the pigs.
—All animals on the farm, and eapecial-
ly those yonng and growing, should have
daily exercise. It is needed for proper
development of bone and muscle.
—Dampness and contaminated gronnd
are frnitful causes of disease. The gnar-
ters shonld beas dry as a ohip, and the
ground in the runs perfectly pare.
—The best cure for a well-developed case
of roup is the ax. Better loss the indivi
daa! bird than endanger the entire flock.
If we nip the slight colds in the bund, we
need not fear the appearance of roup.
—A good lot of brood sows and a boar or
two are good signs of prosperity on a farm.
There is always a good market for pias ol
almost any age under 12 months. All hogs,
except breeding stock, should be short
lived.
Are you aware, farmers and dairymen,
that the dairgymen in the New Eogland
states use snoh methods as stated and then
receive from 10 to 12 cents per quart for
their milk and 3 to 5 cents more per pound
for buster fat from their cream.
—There isa tendency among poaltrymen
to belittle the old-time advice to white-
wash the interior of the poultry houses.
Nevertheless, we keep on whitewashing
once or twice a year, and find shat it pre-
vents dampness, purifies the place, kills
vermin and makes the houses look peat
i and inviting.
—Diversified farming does not stop at
crop growth from the soil, but should in-
clude a diversity of live stock. Some good
cattle, a few good, capacious brood mares,
some good breeding bogs, afew or more
sheep, goats and fowls of diverse sorts
should be found on every farm, for they do
nos interfere or conflict with each other.
—Authorities on forestry say that 75
years are required for the oak to reach
maturity ; and about the same length of
time for the ash and elm;and for the spruce
and fir about 80 years. After this time
their growth remains stationary for some
years, and then decay begins. There are,
however, exceptions, for oaks are still liv-
ing which are known to be over a thousand
years old.
—To test the acidity of the soil, ges five
cents’ worth of blue litmus paper from a
drug store, break into a mass of the moist
soil, insers a piece of the litmus paper and
the soil firmly together again. After
10 or 20 minutes, remove the soil and allow
the paper to dry. If the dried test paper
is pink or red, compared with the original
color, the soil is acid and needs the groand
limestone, ahous oue ton per acre, thor-
oughly mixed with the soil.
—To make Philadelphia scrapple, boil
three or foar pounds of fresh pork (quite
fat, ) until very tender ; then take out the
meat, and season the water in which it was
boiled, and thicken it with yellow corn-
meal, as thick as for basty padding, avd
let it cook a long time, to thoroughly cook
the meal. Chop the meat tolerably fine,
seasou well, add it to the mash. When
is is cooked, pat it into square bread tins
$0 cool; when cold, out in slices, and fry in
a spider uotil brown. It ehould not re-
quire any fas for frying.
—Uneanitary dairy wells area menace
to health, and as the country becomes more
closely settled more aud more care is neo-
essary to provide good water. The director
of the Chicago bygieno laboratory reports
that of 153 wells on near-by dairy farms,
examined by the inspectors, only eleven
were found to be safe for domestic purposes.
Iu all cases the safe wells were those lined
with cement, with cement covers, with a
roteoting flange of cement several feet ont
rom the weil. In some of the wells used
for washing milk utensils,a high percentage
of onlor bacteria were found, aod in rome
oases manure could be detected micros.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
When it is time for me to go—
Time of the rose—or falling snow—
Or when new winds wake vernal strife,
This, to the world I've cherished so—"1 have
been thankful—for my Life."
When light and shade together flow—
When dawns some scene [ not yet know,
Let me draw back one fluttering breath,
To say to ali I've leved below,
“[ have been thankful—in my Death.”
—Edith M. Thomas, in Harper's Bazar.
Do You Know That—Most of the girdles
seen on handsome gowns are of black
taffeta ?
The high Fumpire girdle is the one most
frequently encountered ?
e invasion of soutache has extended
even to hats and the tops of shoes ?
“*Absinthe'’ green is a shade to be found
in some of the vew silk cashmeres ?
A touch of black given by braid, girdles
and buttons is a feature of the styles?
An extension known as a peplum finishes
the front of the latest waistcoats ?
Fioe brilliautines are brushed on the un-
curled masses of miladi’s evening coiffure ?
Hems of even filmiest frocks are now
weighted to drag the folds into straight
lines ?
Arnica diluted with water is a good ap-
plication for painfal, aching feet.
Chamois Gloves—Which has bere tofore
belooged to summer, has made such a piace
for itself that women now elect to wear it
the year ronnd. An gaquive quality, #0
soft that it feels and looks almost like
saede, is hrought ont for the coming
months, in a very pale cream tint. The
seams are pricked, and she effect maonish
and tailor-made. A 12-button length is
used by many with long sleeves, aud sells
for $2.75.
The small bats, those that copy the
Henry IV velvet turbans with their var-
row brim and bunch of feathers, are en-
larged about five times and jammed down
low about the head in a fashion that would
make them unrecognizable, could the pain-
ter come to lite again and see the hat he
drew so many times on the heads of dis-
tinguished gentlemen.
For a rather severe tailored costume
models more plain than otherwise are ap-
propriate, and if too simple, some original
note at the peck or wrists soften and
modifies them. The new ruches of white
illasion go a long way to produce this re-
sult. The linen-pleated frill alao used is
elegant il very severe. The full jabot of
white vet, untrimmed in lace, is as fash-
ionable as it was last winter.
In black trimmings, departments are
especially rioh this season. Jes tassels,
fringes, passementeries and bandsall play
important parts. All the braid and em.
broidered hands and galloons mentioned
already ap in black as well as in the
tall line of tashionable colors.
The one-piece gown has never bad a more
substantial vogue than as this hour, bat in
ite wake there are endless varieties of other
models which show no disposition to play
second to any style.
You would hardly believe that there are
special times and seasons for the trying on
of new shoes. But go it is. Youn need a
larger pair of shoes in summer than in win-
ter, and it is always best to sry them on in
the laster part of the day. The feet are
shen at the maximum size. Activity nat-
urally enlarges them or makes them swell;
much standing also tends is enlarge the
fees. New shoes should be tried on over
moderately thick stockings ; then you can
put on a thinner pair to ease your feet if
the shoes seem too tight. It is remarkable
what a difference the stocking makes. If
they are too large or too small they will be
pearly as uncomfortable as a pair of shoes
are too tight, New shoes cau be worn with
as much ease as old ones if they are stuffed
to the shape of the foot with cloth or pager
and patiently sponged with hot water, says
Woman's Life. Or, if shey pinch in some
particular spot, a cloth wet with hot water
and laid across the place wiil canse im-
mediate and lasting ‘relief. Milk applied
onoe a week with a soft cloth freshens and
preserves boots and shoes.
Chop Suey.—One- balf chicken (or quar-
ter chicken and as much fresh pork, or you
can make it all pork, but ohioken is much
hetter), oue large onion,a bandlal of mush-
rooms, a stalk of celery, six Chinese pota-
toes, a bowl of rice, a small dessert dish of
Chinese sance ( which answers for salt.)
When the chicken is cleaued, scrape the
meat from the hones and cut into strips
about one and a half inches long and one-
balf inch wide. If pork is used, out the
strips the same length. Slice the onions
thin; soak the mushrooms ten minutes in
water, then remove the stems; cnt the
celery into pieces one aud a ball inches
long. Chinese potatoes require no cook-
ing; simply wash aod slice.
First pus ohioken (or chicken and poik,
or pork) into a frying pau with fas and fry
until done, hut not brown or hard. Then
add the sliced onions and cook a little.
Add mushrooms. Now pour enough sauce
over the ingredients to make them brown.
Add some water and stew a few minutes,
Add celery, and, after a minute, the pota-
toes. Finally, add a little floured ~ater
to it, making gravy of she water which
stewed it.
The Chinese potatoes, mushrooms and
Chinese sauce can be procured at any
Chinese grocery. If she rice is not cooked
properly it will detract greatly from the
taste of the suey. Otherwise it
a very palatable dish.
Caramel Pudding. —One-half pint brown
sugar, one-half pint water, one quarter hox
gelatine, whites of four eggs. Soak gelatine
in one gill of cold water until dissolved,

THE OLD CIRCUS POSTER.
Pretentious Language With Which the
Show Was Described.
The grandiloquent extravagance of
language of the old time circus poster
is fllustrated by this reproduction,
which is given verbatim:
“There will be presented a resplen-
dent series of sublime, moral, interest-
ing, instructive, amusing «nd wonder-
ful scenes which would appear entirely
too fabulous if expressed in an adver-
tisement. They must be seen to be
duly appreciated. These great displays
will unfold in all the loveliness and
beauty of enchantment, carrying the
minds of the bewildered or spellbound
spectators off on the gentle wings of
the imagination to such pageantry as
they might dream of after reading a
few pages of ‘Arabian Nights’ Enter-
tainments.’ Words are really wanting
to give adequate expression. Web.
ster's unabridged fails most signally in
language to fully portray a semblance
of the reality. Zoonomy may be learn-
ed at this great college in a single
evening. Here the visitor will see
splendid specimens of the zygodacty-
lous race that live upon the earth or
float and poise upon the wings of gold
and silver plume in the cerulean arch,
and in reference to these the corps of
superintendents in courtly dress will
elucidate the peculiarities of each with
guarded suaviloquence.”

Friendly Advice.
A very matter of fact Scotchwoman
called to see a neighbor, an elderly
woman, who had been ailing for some
time.
“And how do you find yourself to-
day, Janet?’ was the greeting.
“Ah, Martha, I'm very bad. This
cold, damp weather 'll be the end of
me. I'll be a dead woman before very
long.”
“Hoots, toots, woman! You've been
saying that any time these last twenty
years. [I’ve no patience with you. I'll
tell you what it is. You want firm-
ness of mind. Fix a day for your dy-
ing—and stick to it.”
