Ounce a week won't hart. — Interview the hens aod il any one of them fails to declare its intention to begin laying right away, see that it departs. —Carefal attention to the breeding fowls is now necessary. Have them in eon- dition, hut pos too fat, and keep them well exercised. —Large-sized fowls are not as popular in the market now as they once were. The plomp, mediom sized bird is given the preference. —F1ozen combs will stop egg production. Thaw the frozen comh with snow or cold water and apply vaseline or fresh lard every day for a week. —It has taken 35 years of intelligent effort for breeders to get the Poland China hog down to the splendid, easy-feeding, compact, well finished animal thas it is to. day. —The farm products of New Jersey last year were estimated at $52,000,000,as com- pared to $26 000,000 eight years ago. The secretary of she State Board of Agriculture declares that this increase is due largely to scientific farming ae taught by the State institutes at the agriounltaral colleges. —Amos Weida, of Emaus, near Allen- town, Pa., bas a cow which is foster moth- er to a litter of young pigs. Just how the pigs came to cast off their natural mother aod adopt a cow Weida does not know, but a few evenings ago he entered his barn and found the little porkers industrionsly extracting the bovine nourishment. — Don’t forget to keep picking the cncum- bers as they ripen. Look throagh the vines carefolly (they have a great way of hiding in the leaves), so that none will be over- looked ; for two or three large ones going to seed will sap all the strength of their vine, whereas in picking them right along pew ones will form,and a continued supply be secured. — Fruit growers are generally interested in the National Apple Exposition, which is to be beld in ver next December. Clinton Oliver, secretary of the Colorado State Hortionltural Society, is making the reliminary arrangements. He says the a, Chamber of Commerce is indorsing the plan, and that premiums amounting to about $25,000 will be offered. —Experiments in developing a milking strain of Shorthorn cattle have been begun by she dairy division of the United States Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the Minuvesota Experiment Station and with nine Minnesota breeders, the lat- ter baviog agreed to allow their herde to be used and to manage them according to the instructions of she department. —The Bordeaux mixture is the Propet remedy to use for all tungous troubles; viz : mildew and rust of heans; potato and to- mato rot and leal-blight; melon and cucum- ber diseases; celery leal-blight and rust, eto. The ball-strength mixture (two nda copper sulphate, two pounds quick ime, filsy gallons water) is strong enough to use in the vegetable garden, except for potatoes, —It is advisable not to pasture the seo- ond growth clover, bat allow it to blossom aod seed. Should it not be desired to ent it for seed, it may be pastared or turned under after the seed has formed. In this way the land will hecome reseeded at little or no expense. Clover seed tarned under will remain vital down in the soil for sev- eral years and sprout and grow when again turned vp to the surface. —Look out for the striped beetles. They often attaok and destroy melons and cucum- bers as fast as the plants appear above the ground. An application of wood-ashes, air-slaked lime, or gypsum, tainted with kerosene or turpentine or earbolic asid, will help to drive them away. I! you have only a few plants, you can easily protect each hill by erecting a mosquito netting guard over it until the plants begin to run. —Some hog men are claiming that the reason underlying the fewer complaints as to disease among swine during the year is the higher price of corn, which bas caused feeders to use other feeds, consequently a ration of better balance. Where corn is cheap there is a constant temptation to feed it in excess of the real ueeds of the hog. From present indications of per- manent high prices for this cereal it may be reasoned that disease in bogs from this cause will nos be so prevalent. —Balletin No. 242 of the Michigan Ex- periment Station offers some exact date upon the subject of feeding whole grain to cows, heifers and calves. When whole grain wae fed to cows, 22 per cent was un- masticated ; when fed to heifers, 10 per oent.; when fed to calves, 8 per cent. Chemical analysis showed no change in composition of the unmasticated paris, so it is a safe assumption that the animal de- rives no benefit from grain that passes through the digestive tract nvaltered. —There are three common methods of growing strawberries, —in hills, in narrow matted rows, or in wide matted rows.

The words that a father speaks to his children in the privacy of home are not heard by the world, but, as in whispering galleries, they are clearly heard at the end and by posterity. — Richter. The business woman, if she is to keep well when she has been on ber fees all day, should take pains that she hoth wears the hest ible corsets and that she stands well. And just what is the hest corses for her ? There the proof lies somewhat in the way its wearer feels at the end of each day’s wearing. No corset is other than the wrong one for the girl who works if it creates in her a desire to rash home at the first possible opportunity and get into a dressing sack. The wasp waiet is far less attractive thao the pink cheeks and the good temper that come of breathing clear to the deptbe of your lungs. As for the correct standing position—the one that one cau maintain moss easily for bours at a stretch—the best advice I can give you is to look to your fees. In nive cases ont of ten the fatigue of standing is largely due to improper footwear. Broad comfortable soles, moderate heels and loose elastics should all be recognized as essen- tial. Here is ove case where vanity 1s not worth she price. Otherwise swelling of the avkles and legs, and even varicose veins may resuls. A varicose vein is a vein which has he- come enlarged and which canses excessive fatigue, ‘‘growing pains’ —improperly so called coldness of the feet, swelling and numbness. Of conrse, the long hoarse of standing —or the equally bad dangling of the feet from a desk chair shat is too high —are in themselves unfavorable conditions which thin blood, and insafficient exercise serve but to aggravate. Improper footwear is, however, an even surer case, though happily one easy to remedy. Round garters should never be worn, under any cironm- stances, as they interrupt what freedom of cironlation there might be. Nor should the elastics that are fastened to the corsets be stretched too tightly. There is an ad- mirable elastic stocking that comes at about 50 cents a pair—a large initial price, bat cheap enough in the long ran—whioh will help to support the leg. The best one is pethaps the crepe de voile handage, beoanse it is cool and light. 18 can be pur- chased at any drug store. Next to the footwear, the girl who stands on her feet all day should look to the bath- ing of her feet, as care in this respect will often avert the ‘‘shop headache.” When you reach home all fagged out at night try bathing the feet in warm water to which a small bandlol of common salt has been added. When irritation is present, due to varicose veins already started, a bath of creolin lotion will be found most soothing. Use it in the proportion of a teaspooufal to a pint of water, and after nsing dnss the limb with boracie powder. Neither of these remedies is expensive. Finally, surprising though it may seem to the girl tired from standing, the more outdoor exercise youn can manage the bet- ter. The benefits of the oxygen and the iepiovey cironlation cannot be over esti: mated. Fewer separate skirts aod blouses are seen this year than for a decade. A bard blow has been struck at the separate blouse and if she vogue of the entire gown should extend beyond ite present limitations, the old favorite shirt and lingerie blouses would be gone bus for the woman who ie quite ous of the ranks of fashionable dress. ers and actual girle who frankly go in for comfort and not for looks. Still, when one looks over the assors- ment of blouses brought in continuvally by dealers and the multitudes shat most be sold, one feels somewhat optimistic about their continued nse. If fashion makers can put them out of commission they are going todo it. Bat they have been trying now these many years and have had no general success and the separate blouse is still seen in the land. The separate blouse aud skirt costume of the day is an independeat affair quite ont of fashion’s pale and so likely to go its separate way unmolested for some time to come. Field flowers are one of the milliner’s pet trimmings just now. Daises, asters, bluets and the other favorites, with the fruits of the orchards, ave combined in her master- pieces.

Cartoons and alert advertisers who make every spectacular fashion ridicnlous as soon it arrives have had much to do with ban. ishing some of the milliner's moss freakish manifestations, One of the innovations of the early sum- mer is the big circular cape made of the same material as the princess gown with whioh it is worn. It sometimes has a thin silk lining and at other times it has no lining. The cape fastens with a tasseled cord or with rib. bons from the collarless neck. Military collars have been seen on them. Battons covered with the material of she gown on which they are employed are the latest development.

The 45th Regiment Pa. Vol. Inf, al- though not entirely a Centre County Regiment, was composed very largely of men from this country. Companies A, D, and E were practically entirely so. B was largely so. No other coun- ty in the state, therefore, was or is so greatly interested in this regiment as Centre. Its number was the first after the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps. Authority for its recruiting was giv- en both by the Secretary of War and the Governor of the state before the three-months’ men were mustered out of service. To a very considerable extent, men who had been in service for the three months re-enlisted in the 45th. Its Colonel, Thomas Welsh, was Lieutenant Colonel of the Ind Regi- ment in the three-months' service, the arrangement for the organization of the 45th having been made by him and Lieut. Beaver of “H” Co. in that regiment, who became the Lieutenant Colonel of the 45th. Col. Welsh, being placed in command of Camp Curtin by Gov. Curtin, was prevented from giv- ing his personal attention to the re- cruiting of the regiment, but as Com- mander of Camp Curtin he had spec- jal advantages in the selection of companies to compose it. To this eir- cumstance is no doubt largely due the exceptional character of the makeup of the regiment as to its personnel The regiment had a remarkable ca- reer in many respects, particularly in the territorial extent of its service, the number and variety of its campaigns and the brilliant record which it made in all of them. An effort is now being made by the “Washington, D. C., Association of the survivors of the 45th Pennsyivania Volunteer Infantry” to prepare and have published a history of the regi- ment. With commendable energy, care and diligence, this little associa- tion, composed of less than half a doz- en survivors, Major R. C. Cheesman and Nelson Lucas of this county being of the number (Major Cheesman being the president of the association), has prepared a complete roster of the sur- vivors as a preliminary to the prepara- tion of the history itself. This roster, of course, is not perfect. The names of some men who are dead are includ- ed therein and a number who are liv- ing are not included for various reasons. new cdition in the near future. The surprising thing about the roster is that it gives the names of nearly 500 as survivors out of probably about 1960 men who were at different times enrolled in the regiment Allowing for the inclusion of men who are no long- er living and the exclusion of men i who ought to be included in this rost- er, there are doubtless 450 survivors. Inasmuch as the state of Pennsylva- nia takes 400 coples of each regimen- tal history certified by the Governor, the Adjutant General and the Auditor General as being worthy of the name, at a price not exceeding $2.00 per vol- ume, it is easy to see that there will be no difficulty in publishing and dis- posing of an edition of at least 1000. Several of the comrads have already subscribed for a number of volumes each, running from 2 to 12. The character of the volume is not vet determined. If a suitable person can be secured to write the history from the material which will be fur- nished by the survivors, that plan may be adopted, or a general editor may be chosen who will revise the manuscript submitted by the survivors, so as to preserve the characteristics of the dif- ferent writers. With our knowledge of the number of survivors of the regi- ment who can, from their own ex- perience and personal observation, furnish what will be interesting and valuable articles, we feel sure that the result will be a most interesting vol- ume. An article relating to the life of a single member of the regiment, Capt. J. Oliver Campbell, has been preparad in manuscript by his sister. His company, E, has a number of men who could, with great ease and ac- ceptability, write very valuable chap- ters for such a history. Two of the companies of the regiment wera from Tioga county. A number of men in both of these companies are abundant- ly able to write chapters which would be more than usually valuable and at- tractive, Two of the companies were from Lancaster county. These have also survivors, whose contributions would be of great interest. considered, we know of no regiment whose history would contain greater variety and be of greater interest to the survivors and their descendants than that of the 45th regiment. There will probably be a reunion of the survivors in the month of Septem- ber and the Washington Association expect to have their plans in such shape that they may be submitted to the survivors at this reunion for defi- nite adoption, and it is hoped that a committee will there be named who will give immediate and careful at- tention to the details of the prepara- tion of the history. We very heartily commend to the survivors of the regiment this enter- prise, which ought to appeal to every one who was in any way connected with or interested in it. From the in- terest which has been manifested by the survivors in Centre county, there is no doubt whatever as to their doing their full share in the preparation of the material for the history and of taking the number of copies when pub- lished which would seem to be their proportion of the edition, whatever it may be. We hope the splendid beginning made by the Washington Association will be continued and will find hearty encouragement and co-operation on the part of all the survivors of the regiment.
