Bellefonte, Pa. January 1, 1909, FARM NOTES, ~The horse has a smaller stomach than Ahe cow. — Pigs that mature early are the pigs that are worth while. —Wood ashes, charcoal, and salt should always be acoessibie to hogs. —Feed of all kinds is high this winter. You waos to know bow to feed economio- ally. —Don’t specialize on ooe crop but prae- tice rotation. Include at least one legume in that rotation. —Do not store seed corn in boxes or bar- rels. It will gather moisture and be in- jared by freezing or mould. —Keep np a close acquaintance with all the live stock. Iudividual attention to each animal is what is needed. —The crop reporting service of the Unit- ed States Department of Agriculture costs the Government $220,000 a year. ~The greatest weight of beef can he made with a given amount of feed during the first 20 mouths of a steer’s life. —New York is the leadiog buckwheat. producing State, with Pennsylvania aecond, Michigan third, Maine foorth and North Carolina fifth. —The ewes should be kept in good con- dition as the time of the hirth of their young, ae those in poor condition are not apt to own their lambs. —Medium-sized hogs are now most in favor. It is best to feed hogs for only eight or ten months. After they are a year old the feeding is not profitable. —A good time now to work on the roads. A good road shortens the distance to mar- ket and in addition makes it possible to double up the size of the load. —It is entirely practicable, hy simple, nataral, economic methods, to produce prime heeves from 1400 to 1600 pounds in weight at from 20 to 22 months. —The Australians have carried the colti- vation of egy-producing qualities in Leg- horus, Laugshans and Wyandottes to a point far beyond any reached in this coun- try. —Do not waste too mach time trying to oure a fowl afflicted with some disease that you do not understand. Better kill them at once unless they are valuable ex- bibition specimens. —There are 2800 counties of agricultural importance in the United States, of which Steuben and St. Lawrence, in New York State, and Lancaster, in Pennsylvania, take rank well ap in the lead. — Horse breeding is increasing fast, but it will be several years before the supply of good stock catches up with the demand. Prices have heen steadily going ap for the t three years, and are likely to stay up or several of years at least. —No dairy ball should be extensively ueed until he has attained a very mature age and proved that he is capable of pro- ducing profitable progeny. From the fact that a wale animal is pare bred or register- ed does not positively prove his worth, The efficacy of his offspring tells the story. —Don’t try to worry along through the winter without a good snow plow, a tri- angle affair, with sides five feet long and twelve inches high. Have the draft chain hooked low and have a orosspiece at the rear to stand on. One horse will pull it. It will ron steadily aod opens a three-foot path. — Professor E. B. Voorhees bas figured out that a single well-fed cow will prodace in a vear 107 pounds of nitrogen, 87 pounds of phosphoric acid and ahont 87 pounds of At this rate it is easy to see why dairy cows are such a powerful factor in increasing the fertility of the farm, when the manure is properly cared for. —A summary of feeding trials with dairy cows shows that alfalfa can be made to take the place of at least one-half of the grain usually fed our dairy cows, and, as e nutrients needed by dairy cows can be produced much more cheaply with alfalfa than with grain, she cost of producing milk may be greatly reduced by its use. —Most people wear out the glove first on the hand they use the most, then throw the other glove away because it has no mate. This left-over, il made of canvas or similar material, may be nsed on she other hand by tarning it wrong side ont. The seam on the outside makes it come just right for picking things up, such as fruit, sorting apples, eto. —Is the milking machine safe to use® A New Jersey dairyman who used one of the patent milking devicea states, that under is own personal operation, the machines actually inoreased the milk flow, but that when the duty was laid ou an overworked superintendent, some of the cowa were in- jured. It would seam, therefore, that the operation of a milking machine calls for oarefuiness and intelligence, —In bandling a goose it should al- ways be taken by the neck, and when litted from the ground she body should be turned with the back toward the person bandling it. In that position it cannot strike, sud will remain quiet. Partly sup: port the body by ssizing the first joint of the wing with one hand. I! she goose is held facing one it will strike hard blows with its wings or scratch with its feet. —Two things cause expense in the poul- try business. The first is loss or waste; the second feed. Prevent waste and make a pound of feed produce the greatest pos. sible gains and you have solved the mystery of profits in the poultry business. Clean- liness 1s more than half the battle in pre. venting loss. Keep she lots, the yards and the houses as olean as you can and you will find shat the losses of lass year will be reduced fifsy per cent. —TIdaho is laying olaim to being some- thing of a berry-growing state. Andrew Jensen, liviog near Emmett, raised $1,100 worth of dewbherries on one acre of ground, The farm comprises eighty acres and was bought by Jensen brothers for $8,400, so that from ove acre the new owners have made 13 per cent of their total investment. On balf an acre on another farm, another firm raised 7700 orates of strawberries, which they sold at an average of $1.10 per orate, or $8,470. Because of the haokward sytiog and late frosts, it was nota very good berry year, whioh makes the yield the more remarkable. In each instance a Teton was kept of every prate picked and | i i i FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT.

They should be [re- quently taken ont of their receptacles which must be « ust-proof, and exposed to the air. If the lace i= torn, it can in ail cases be given a pew Jesse of life by placing the lace over a copy of she pattern, casting away the torn portion, and filliug in the “i ae nearly as possible like the origi val. Cleaning lace should only be attempted by a skilled and reliable band. Lime has often heen nsed to whiten lace that has he- come dingy, andaeh at into water the fabric is sure to be destroyed by burning. ee The right eslor for old lace is that of pure, unbleached linen. Colored lace al- though sometimes demauded by fashion, is an outrage on good taste, as are blueing and stiffeniug io white lace. The onbleached effect can always he given by steeping the lace for a few mio- utes in an infusion of tea. white There is a growing inclination toward | plainness in design. Some of the handsomest satin damask cloths are, in fact, ahsolu'ely plain. A five-inch satin bavd a foot from the edge sometimes relieves this severity. Monograms worked in white are much used on these plain tablecloths. This measares about two inches and a half and adoros the coraer or the middle of the side. The accompanying napkins bear a simi- lar monogram ahout an inch and a half io height. For the woman with the plethoric purse hate are cloths trimmed with handmade ace. These often cost a hundred dollars and are intended to he placed over a delicate color. Naturalistic colors are now seldom used in floral designs on linen tablecloths. Most of the embroidery is white, and if colors are used they are very delicate. Italian cot-work, Oriental ent.-work and Japanese shadow embroidery in old blue ay Sige are favorites amoug ornate cloths. Did you ever try smiling to cure the blues ? If not, try it when you are troubled with this melancholy complaint and note the result. You cannot be lachrywose if the coroers of your month are turned up, and witha smile on your lips life takes on a new aspect. The people you meet smile back and a general atmosphere of good nature, goed temper and good spirits is every where. mile always, and your digestion, your complexion and your popularity will im- prove a hundredlold. Every woman wishes to be good looking, and nothing so quickly destroys all the natural good looks a woman possesses as a sour, long face. Her nose may he shaped on lines contrary to classical specification ; her complexion may leave much to he desired, and ber mouth open toa wider range than is striotly in conformity with laid-down beauty rales ; but let her be good natured, with her eyes and month ready to break into smiles, and there are few who will notice nature's shortcomings, and those who koow her will love her and seek her society. A well-known dootor bas adopted this ‘smile’ method in his treatment of nervous patients, and claims that when it is persisted in regularly good effects are the resuls. It takes some persuasion to get them into the way, it appealing to many as the height of absurdity, aud if one is ‘‘hlue”’ it takes considerable will to sit down and smile sweetly and somplasently at nothing at all and it is this will power that brings the blessing—it makes ove forget the fancied misery. Few women understand the art of water- ing a palm. Inesummer time when the lant is set ous in yard or veranda, there no great necessity for & | edncation along these lines. But when the palm is installed in she ordinary library or living room great oare should be exer. cised in watering it properly. Ouce a week the leaves should he sponged with lukewarm water to which a little milk bas been added. After this has heen accom- plished stand the plant for two hours in lukewarm water deep enough to complete- ly cover the pos. If this is done regularly the lusty palm of the summer mouths will not commence to pine and dwindle the moment it is pat in the bouse. An expert's advioe concerning she exter- mination of moths whioh have got into rage and carpets is to allow the rugs to stay out of doors during a frost. This will kill both eggs and insects. He recommends a gener- ous sprinkling of gasoline on the furniture, placing the articles out of doors until com- plete evaporation bas taken place. Anoth- er suggestion from the same source is that any article packed away from moths mnst Je plaved in a very dry room. Dampness 8 fatal. Molasses Cand y.—Take half a gallon of West India molasses, one pound sugar, quarter of a pound of butter. Boil for three hours, and just hefore the candy is done add the juioe of a lemon. Try some hy cooling it on a plate to see if it is sufficientlv stiff. Pull as for sugar candy for a half hour. x A little vinegar on the hands will make the taffy stiff. It should be a light yel- low eolor when pulled.

He groaned and explained thus: “Why is it that chefs at restaurants { think that the mere addition of a to- mato to anything under the sun justi- | fies their calling the combination some- thing ‘a I'Espagnole? “I see ‘eggs a I'Espagnole.” My curi- osity is at once aroused. ‘What,’ I ask myself, ‘do the Spaniards do to eggs? So 1 order ‘eggs a I'Espagnole.” What are they? Eggs with tomato. “l see ‘chicken fricassee a I'Espa- | gnole.” Nothing but tomato mixed with { chicken. And thus it goes on and on through life, a continual round of hopes deceived. Spanish sauce is to- mato catchup. It is absurd; it is care. less. Chefs have no right to be so lazy. Why, if the same degree of care lessness is allowed fo run rampant through other classes of men besides chefs I do not doubt” Here the stranger got pésitively tragic. “I do not doubt that the good old phrase ‘walking Spanish’ will be ap- plied to stepping on a tomato. I fear it; I fear it.” And he faded thence, shaking his head with gloomy foreboding.—New York Times. | | Tennyson and Lowell. Mrs. Procter, the wife of Barry Corn- wall, was a great figure in London lit- erary society when Mr. Lowell was United States minister at the court of St. James. Mrs. Procter was most anxious to bring Tennyson and Mr. Lowell together. Tennyson, who was whimsical in his prejudices, made va- rious excuses and affected to believe that Mr. Lowell was a poet of little fmportance and an after dinner orator whose graces of style were overrated. One day Mrs. Procter told Mr, Ten- nyson that Mr. Lowell had written some lines on her birthday and that she must insist upon reading them to him. The English poet looked at her askance and submitted with bad grace. Mrs. Procter did not go further than the opening line, “I know a girl—they say she's eighty.” Tennyson scowled and sprang to his feet with a gesture | of Impatience. “Too familiar!” he | growled out In high disdain and re- fused to listen to the remaining lines. Mrs. Procter persevered in her efforts to bring the two poets together, and they finally met and became Intimate friends. Mr. Tennyson was a man of many caprices and had a touch of shy- ness and cold reserve which made him unwilling to meet a stranger. A Sly Dog. The late Dr. James Freeman Clarke used to tell this story of his dog: “At one time my dog was fond of going to the railway station to see the people, and I always ordered him to go home, fearing he would be hurt by the cars. He easily understood that if he went there it was contrary to my wishes. So whenever he was near the station if he saw me coming he would look the other way and pretend not to know me. If he met me anywhere else he always bounded to meet me with great delight. But at the station it was quite different. He would pay no attention to my whistle or my call. He even pretended to be another dog and would look me right in the face without apparently recognizing me. He gave me the cut direct in the most impertinent manner, the reason evi- dently being that he knew he was doing what was wrong and did not like to be found out. Possibly he may have relied a little on my nearsighted- ness in his maneuver.” The Care of Geldfish. The secret of success in caring for goldfish is to keep the water they are in fresh and sweet. Their globe should be emptied and its water renewed as often as every second day. Lift each fish out gently in a glassful of water, empty the globe, wash it out, then put in fresh water and put the fish back again. Clear, sweet rainwater should be used, and its temperature should be raised to 75 or 80 degrees by warming a part of it. Sparkling well water is too cold for the fish to thrive in and tco pure, for the animalculae of rain water form an important part of the food of these fish. They need no other sustenance than a very few bread crumbs sprinkled in their water daily. for overfeeding will kill them very quickly.—Housekeeper. Barrie's Critic. J. M. Barrie some years ago was persuaded to take the chair at a Burns celebration in Scotland. He was ex- tremely silent and stole away at the earliest opportunity. Next week ap- peared in the National Observer a hu- morous article entitied “Mr, Barrie In the Chair,” in which Mr. Barrie's lack of social tact was held up to ridicule Many people thought the writer had gone too far and protested. But the author of the article was Mr. Barrie himself, Influence of Feminine Dress. Few men realize the influence that dress has upon them. Man thinks that he is an unblased being, open to con- viction, to sound logic, to unanswera- ble argument. Fond delusion! He is open to nothing except to the elo. quence of a few yards of silk and to the persuasion of soft laces.—London Graphic. Made Quite a Difference.

' All IT have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not secon. Emerson, A woman needs to give double care to the presercation of her health—once for her own bappine:s and once for the health and happiness of the children she may have. How often does she take this extra care of berselt ? Rarely, indeed, until she has eutered upon a course of suffering, and bas learned from experience the necessity of care. It ooght to be a part of the mother’s duty to instruct her daughter in the neces. sity of preserving ber womanly health. The bandding girl ought to be taught that the high office of motherhood has its weighty obligations and responsibilities, and that if there is peril in motherhood it is chiefly due to the neglect of the neces- sary laws of health. The best way for young women to protect and preserve their womanly health is to use Dr. Pieroe’s Favorite Prescription on the first symptom of irregularity. Irregularity is the begin- ning, often, of complicated and paivful feminine disorders. ‘‘Favorite Presorip- tion’ regulates she periods, cures inflam- wation, ulceration and female weakness, soothes and strengthens the nerves and en- riches the entire body with vigor and vitality. It contains neither alcohol, por narcotic. ~——Lawyer—Do I understand you to say that you are acquainted with both par- ties in this case? Witness — Why—er—1 don'ts know whether you do or not.

NOT ANOTHER LIKE IT IN OUR BROAD REPUBLIC, To give positive home testimony in every locality is of it«elf unanswerable proof of merit ; but when we add to this the continued endorsement from people who testified years ago zo evidence can be stronger. A Bellefonte citizen grate. fully acknowledges the good received from Doan’s Kidney Pills, and when time has tested the cure we find the same hearty endorsement, with added enthu- siasm and continued praise. Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work of Doan's Kidney Pills, and such a record is unique in the annals of medicine, Mrs, James Rine, 230 High St, Belle. fonte, Pu,, says : “I have had no oceasion to use Doan’s Kidney Pills duriog the past ten years and 1 cheerfully confirm * the Rave statement I gave in their favor in 1904. I think Doan's Kidney Pills the most reliable remedy in existence. At the time I procured them at Green's drug store and began their use, I was suffering severely from backache and other symp- ribs kidney trouble. They cu me and out of gratitude I have since recom- mended them to many People. I know that this remedy has lived up to the claims made for it in every case where it has been used."
