Bellefonte, Pa.. April 16. 1909.
— Without protein pigs can not baild up
the lean meas or grow to any size.
~The average market hog should weigh
300 ponuds at eight months of age.
—For the pig two to six months old
protein is the most important feed.
—Wood ashes are a good lawn and gener-
al garden fertilizer, containing potash, lime
and other similar food elements.
~The Counecticat Experiment Station
recommends that for the bess resalts in
hatching, eggs not over five days old be
used.
—Poultry and dairy products have al-
moss doubled in price in the past ten years.
Eggs and milk are still rising in average
price.
—The Michigan State Agricaitural
School bas added a course of instruction
in the use of automobiles, and it 1s eaid
thas Iowa and Kansas will follow suis.
—A Scotchman aunounoces a “‘new meth-
od of keeping fine fruite.”’ He purposes to
pick the fruit *‘in the height of the sun’
and pack it in dry granulated sogar. The
sugar may be reused.
—A well filled garden, the produocts of
whioh are ured on the table, will save
many doctor bills. Don’t neglect the gar-
den Mr. Farmer for your family’s sake as
well as your own.
—Pigs should be at least eight weeks
old before they are weaned, and if it is not
intended that the sow should have a sec-
ond lister is is best to allow the pigs to
suckle until they are 10 to 12 weeks of
age.
~To prevent currant worms from tronb-
ling onrrant and gooseberry bushes dust
them with helebore as soon as the leaves
appear while wet with dew. Make a sec-
ond application a few weeks later. Helle-
bore may also be nsed as a spray.
—OQuoe of the hest methods of destroying
plant lice on roses aud shrubs is by the use
of tobacco stem solution. Pour a gallon of
boiling water on a pound of tobacco stems,
and about 12 or 15 hours later add four
more gallons of water. Apply with a spray-
er or sprinkling pot.
—Some brood sows bave a zreater ten-
denoy to lay on fat thao others, and this
tendency is kept within proper allowance
by using less corn. A sow at farrowing
should not be overly fat, bat should be pat
in a good, round condition as soon as prac-
tioable alter pigs are weaned.
—Dacklings usaally start to molt when
11 weeks old, and is will require about six
weeks for them to finish tone prooess and
get into good condition again. For that
reason ducklings should be marketed at 1
weeks of age, for after that they are more
apt to lose weight than gain it.
~The milk goat indnséry is occapyiog
considerable attention in the eass. ve
enty-seven goats have been accepted for
registration by the American during the
year. Ouve hundred and eighty-seven are
now on record. Any goat yielding one
quart or more of milk a day is eligible.
-=There is always a temptation to turn
the stock on pasture before the grass bas
had a chance to get a start. At this time
the animals will get little good from the
pasture and they are likely to do much
damage in tramping the wet soil. Let the
ground get #olid and the grass a good start
belore they go on it.
—It requires some expense and trouble
to establish an asparagus bed in the garden,
yet every one who owns his land shoald
pus in a bed, even il it cousists of but 100
roots. A well cooked dish of asparagus is
a luxary that must be tried to be properly
appreciated, and when it comes she grower
will think himself well repaid for all that
it has cost him.
~—Any timber will last quite well il ses
in this way: Dig a *quare hole about a foot
deep, throwing the dirt well back. Sharp-
en the post and drive well into she bottom,
then pat a flat stove agaivst each side and
a chuuok againss the post, the boards bold-
ing it the other way. This prevents their
rot$ing of at the surface of the ground as
they always do.
—It is a mistake to allow the colts and
oalves to go into pastare skin poor. Keep
them in good flesh with bay and grain
foods. Corn and clover hay are about the
best feeds for these young animals, and
they will eat them all the year round.
Dry clover hay is relished by all cattle and
horses even when on good summer pasture,
and it is a good thing to give them a daily
feed of it.
~The silo should be depended upon, not
only for winter feeding, bat for the entire
year, iu case re is scarce or poor
in quality. It is the cheapest way to get
succalent summer feed if the land is at all
limited in area, or if the pastures are nos
such as to produce good feed in dry weath-
er. In parts of Massachusetts large milk
producers consider that it costs one cent a
quart more to produce milk without silage
than with it.
~—Strawberry beds coming into bearing
should be cultivated as coon as the land is
in good order, and have a top-dressing of
100 pounds of nitrate of soda, 400 pounds
of acid phosphate and 400 pounds of muri-
ate of potash applied per acre. This should
be spread down each side of the rows, and
be worked in with the caltivator. Mulch
between the rows to keep the berries clean
and conserve moisture, using pine tags,
waste hay or other clean vegetable trash.
~The cheapest way to put gains on
young pigs is through the sow. She bas
a strong digestion and can turn coarse
grains and pasture into easily-digested
milk. Careful ments show thata
pound of weighs taken from the sow will
make more than one pound of gain on the
pigs, the flesh of the young animals con-
taining more water, The sow shculd be
fed to produce a high milk yield, and the
pigs should be kept with her until they
ges to eating a full feed of grain and pae-
tare.
—1It is easy to make a hand roller for the
garden. Get a two foot tile fourteen inch-
es in diameter. Pot it on end on an inch
board. Place an iron rod exactly in cen-
ter, passing down throngh the board about
an inch and projecting above tiling the
same distance, 1. e. two inches. Fill in
tiling to top with cement and broken
rocks, two parts sand to one pars of cement.
Faoe ends with olear mixture of sand and
cement. When set arrange a handle upon
the projecting iron rod. Just the thing
for garden rows. The cost is slight.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN,
DAILY THOUGHT.
You will see in lite just what you are looking
for. It depends upon the lenses of your mental
vision. If they are black and smoky you will see
the shadows, the gloom ; if they are clear and
erystalline you will see the rainbow of beauty,
—
Sleeves, il possible, are more varied than
ever. For dress and semi-dress they are as
tight-fissing as ordained at the heginning
of the season. The one-piece, smooth-fit-
Sig sletve to the elbow, finished simply
with a band of tke bodice trimming, is one
of the approved modes for evening frocks,
and is undoubtedly attractive in the sofs,
transparent waterials, For daytime gowns,
next to the mousquetaire sleeve and those
of similar constraction, there are the long
models trimmed to half sleeve effects. One
bas embroidery forming the entire upper
portion while the gown material makes up
the remainder.
Many of the tailormades being bronght
in for the advance spring trade are of she
three-piece kind. The linens are following
the fashion and their bodices, like those in
cloth and velvet, are frequently almost
wholly of net dyed the color of the cos-
tame. These bodices have straps, bands or
other trimmings which make them one
with the suits which they accompany. In
all cases, one might say, the bodice and
skirt are in one piece, the effect being of
the princess order.
But the waist line bas dropped in the
newest ones and ail authorities seem to
agree that this drop will be more noticeable
Ie spring fashions when they become
nown.
To make these fashionable Dateh collars
prettily and inexpensively a good way is to
purchase a cheap one at a shop, rip it apart
and uee it as a pattern for a half dozen
band embroidered ones, which may be made
from a yard of fine linen.
This is the soheme which some girls have
for making spare moments profitable.
Pretty collars may be made of allover
muslin embroidery if the edges are band-
finished, and many dainty affairs are of
print oretoune with soutache finished
gen,

ed and its pattern isa bit too vivid, the
coloring may be produced by painting
them with white house paint, as is oft-
times done in the case of cretonne dress
trimmings.
Ouve great difficnlty about the prevalent
style of frock,of cloth or other heavy fabric,
with the ever-present net yoke, is the fact
that the yoke heoomes soiled after a few
wearings, while the dress is still perfectly
fresh. Constant visita to the cleaners are
an expevsive luxury, and it is not always
desirable to rip the yoke ont. The spring
and summer show signs of presenting the
same difficulty, so that one way of cleansing
which i= simple and practical is still worth
telling abous. It is so simple in fact that
many women have probably already dis-
covered it for themselves. This is to place
under the yoke a thick Turkish towel, and
scrub is with a vail brosh, dipped in tepid
water and soap. To rinse, pour water from
a cup onto she yoke, holding it up-side
down so that the water will not run apon
the frock. If this is done carefully, nota
drop of water should fly off to spot the
goods.
In the matter of correct stationery every
woman should try to conform to the re-
quirements of la mode to a certain extent,
even in declining to be governed entirely
by the very latest, which is often merely
the fad of the moment and in exceedingly
poor taste.
Of the latter the vivid shades of green
and bloe that have been in vogue were vo
flagrant a violation of anything like good
style that fastidious women have entirely
discarded all such tints and a deep cream
is fast becoming the only one used by those
who care to remain within reason.
Blue in any shade may now he consid-
ered entirely passe. Some tones of gray
are noted, has only ventral tints are se.
lected and black ink is used.
As to envelopes, they may he either
eqaare or long, hut only the pointed flap
is used. The long flaps are gone ; not
used hy any one considering the matter at
all. Block letters are selected for the mon-
ogram, and this is at the left edge of the
paper. If an address is added, it is at the
top, in the center. Gold, white or silver
are for formal occasions, dark blue or a
green that is almost black, for every day
stationry.
A baby, like an adult, needs water as
regularly as it needs food.
Tbe milk that it gets, though a lignid,
doea not satisfy its thirss.
It should be given water at least three
times a day and this water should be near-
ly, il not quite free from organisms.
The best way is to allow the water to
boil 20 minoses.
After that let it cool and store it in clean,
well-corked hotties which bave been pre-
viously immersed in boiling water for five
minutes.
It is best drunk out of a thoroughly clean
noreing bottle.
Offer water to the infant every four hours
and let it drink as muoh as it wants.
Under no circumstances shouid this wa-
ter be kept more than a day.
Cheese Pudding. Mix together in a
basin bail a ponnd of cheese, one Sewpogn.
ful of four, two tablespoonfuls of
crumbs, salt, pepper and paprika to taste,
add one cuplul of boiling milk, one
ing teaspoonful of butter, the yolks of two
eggs and the whites stifily beaten. Mix
gently, pour into a buttered pudding dish
and bake for 15 minutes in a moderate
oven. Serve hot.
Chocolate Ice Cream. Sift together one
cup sugar, two level tablespoonfuls flour
and a half ssltspoonfal salt. Add two well
beaten eggs and beat all together. Add
one pint bos scalded milk, turn into a doub-
le boiler and cook, stirring constantly until
smooth, then occasionally for 15 minutes
longer.

ful hot water mixed with a little of

namon extraot to give the cream a rich,
spioy flavor.
Frozen Apricots. Cat oue can of apricots
into small pieces, add one pint of sugar
aud one quart of water (which bave been
boiled together 10 minutes), the juice of
one lemon and two oranges. frozen
add, il yon like, one pint of sweetened

This is delicious without the cream.
Fishes in Dry Sireams.
When brooks, streams, and ponds become
dry, moss fishes die. Some kinds, however,
like eels and catfish, are able to survive
for cousiderable time hy burrowing into the
wet or moist bottom, which may be quite
dry at the surface. This is particularly
true of some tropioal fishes found io regions
subject to droughs, where it is a master of
common observation that a pond depression
that has been baked by the eun’s rays for
days or weeks will, immediately alter a
heavy rain fall, afford good fishing. The
ability of certain tropical fishes to endure
drooght and to remain out of the water for
a long time in the markets depends on she
ou of an accessory gill on the under
side of each gill cover, by means of which
oxygen may be taken directly fiom the
atmosphere. Failure to notice dead fish
after she drying of brooks or ponds simply
means thas birds and four-footed beasts —
often night prowlers--have heen there first.
One of the most important lines of work
carried on by the fisheries branch of the
government is the rescue of food and game
fishes from the overflowed lands in the
Mississippi Valley. After the floods sub-
side, shallow pools are left thas are wholly
discouneoted with the streams,and iu these
the fishes gradually perish as she drying of
the pools eases, By sending men to
seine these pools, the government each year
saves and returns to public waters Lun-
