v FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. Bellefonte, Pa., December 2, 1910. —— — FARM NOTES. —The young trees should be cut back about one-third of the new growth. This is a good time to do that work. it is the finer the flavor. Extracted is much easier kept kept in tight cases. —Wood ashes may be applied at the rate of 25 to 50 bushels, 1000 to 2000 pounds, to the acre. One ton of good wood ashes will contain about 140 pounds of potash and 40 Jounds of phosphoric acid. Spring is the best time to apply the ashes. —The strawberry ts should be cov- ered—best with sawdust, as it need not . If this cannot be obtained, leaves will do, lightly scat- tered over and held in place with the clippings from old raspberry canes or be removed in the spring small brush. —Mulching is a law in horticulture, cannot do too much of it. When planting trees or shrubs they should be mulched, preferably with coal ashes. Leaves and i thereis a sprinkle of poison put in to keep the mice from straw will do, doing mischief. —It is agood plan to hill up the cur® bushes and leave the mounds through the winter, ided they are taken down in Spring. ii lift the rant bushes and 0 allow them to remain wil roots too high, and gradually the plants will be worked out of the soil. —The potash in ashes exists in a read- is thus immediately available for plant food. Ashes also con- tain a little magnesia and a considerable amount of carbonate of lime, which is of ily soluble form, and some importance because of its effect i improving the texture of heavy soils. —An old farm is not necessarily a poor farm. There are farms in Europe that have been cultivated for 150 years and they are producing larger crops than when first brought under cultivation. Old farms should be rich farms, because there is ample time building them up. —Sifted coal ashes absorb liquids, fix volatile ammonia, prevent offensive odors and are valuable as absorbents under hen Wood ashes should roosts or in stables. not be placed under hen roosts nor i stables, because potash liberates the ma- nure and the ashes as fertilizer is de- teriorated. —Concerning the use of wood ashes as fertilizer, Professor A. M. Ten Eyck says an average sample of unleached wood ashes contains 7 per cent. potash and per cent. of phosphoric acid, which at current retail prices of these plant foods makes wood ashes worth about 5 cents per 100 pounds, or $9 per ton. —Those who have not begun the com- post system should begin it at once. Ac- cumulate all the coal ashes, old .rubbish, of dirt, old ave conven- ient places about the farm where such piles can be built up in layers with barn- yard manure. Turn this over later in the fall or early winter, and distribute autumn leaves, stray heal sod, old mortar and lime. where needed. —Wolff has accurately compared the digestive powers of horses and sheep, and and is a details, but the net result is ahout 12 per cent. in favor of thesheep. Red clover is found to be more economically disposed of by horses than meadow hay, a fact confirm- ed by practical use, but, still less so than | ractically has found that sheep digest hay better than horses do. good deal of difference as regards by sheep, but good lucerne is P equally good for either class of stock. Honey improves with age. The older honey than comb, as the latter is liable to get soiled, and must be “If I could once lay down myself. And start self-purged upon the race !

But the lines of the skirt are ly all skirts except on elaborate evening gowns, are short. They are far from un- ul, and no one can deny their com- ort and their safety from & hype standpoint. The short skirt is arly adapted to the quaint fashions of a cen- tury or so “finger- ” or about twenty-six inches. Sleeves show little or no fulness at the top and are finished with a cuff of the ma- is a suggestion of the high waistline at the back. Then every coat and skirt should have a blouse to match them in color. Of sat- in, net, or chiffon with trimmings of vel- vet and cut bands of the material, these are capable of making a one-piece gown. The fashion for coats is about divided into two parts this year: There is a sin- gle-breasted affair that buttons from waist to neck, and there is the other kind that fastens to the bust and is finished with keeps the chest warm; the latter does not. It is a problem to many women how to keep the exposed 1 enough on cold days. It is no longer the n al. We have adopted the thin waist with its little turnover collar or transparent chemisette as a steady, everyday gar- ment. The woman who wears a fur piece close against her neck does not have to think twice about selecting a coat that opens to the bust. She can wear any kind of blouse, for the fur gives sufficient warmth; but the majority of women object to fur against the neck. It overheats a tender rt of the body, and almost invariably eads to colds and throat trouble. Just what can be done is the question most women are asking of each other. The best idea has been brought out in French coats, and is being copied here by n things at home. A wide bias band of cor- duroy or velveteen is doubled and inter- lined if one wishes extreme warmth. The 2 part. A man’s cravat can be taken as a good pattern. This little affair is then glove clamped into the coat under the collar against the cloth. It is attached again at the collar- bone. This keeps it taut and smooth. Where it crosses just below the collar of the blouse it is caught with a scarf pin. This protects the chest and does not overheat the throat. If the weather be- comes mild these scarfs can be lifted from the coat without any trouble. Another int in its favor is that a woman can ve three or four made for one suit, so that she can vary the color scheme as she pleases. It is a good scheme to match one’s hat or the trimming on it with these little bias the use of artistic scarf pins among wom- are borrowed from one's husband or brother, because the haberdasher and even revers and turnover collar.
