4 "Bellefonte, Pa., July 26, 1912. ll FARM NOTES. ij g : : g The most common external parasites in farm flocks are ticks and lice. These can be kept down to a minimum by regular and careful dipping. To be most effec- tive dipping should be practiced twice a year. The whole flock should be dippe a few weeks after shearing, and again in the autumn before the weather becomes cold enough to make the wet sheep suf- fer. —To have the wool strong and even in size the animal must be properly fed. If the food supply is red to a point below the normal demands of the ani- mal’s body, the wool fiber is reduced in diameter and a weak place is the result. This greatly reduces the commercial value of the combing wools such as pre- vail in Fost saction Where ii Rocke are kept. In the process of combing fiber breaks at the weak place and the wool has to be put to some use of less value. Itis therefore necessary for the owner to provide feed sufficient to keep his flock well throughout the year. Carelessness in feeding causes a great deal of foreign material to he deposited in wool. Racks for roughages such as hay fodder and straw,should be construct- ed so that chaff cannot fall out and lodge on the shoulders and necks of the sheep. Barns and lots should be srranged so ‘shat it is unnecessary to pass among the sheep in carrying loose straw to the racks. Care should be taken to keep dirt and | dung out of the wool. Neither of these wool as much as burrs, chaff and litter, but they do some damage, and they most certainly make it less attrac: | tive to the buyer and add to the shrink- age in the process of scouring. Sheep should not be forced to lie in mud, nor should they be allowed to lie in dusty places. —The sheep industry is one that every farmer, who is properly situated, should look into. Several of the State | experimental staticns in the West | are now making expensive investigations, | and are sending out valuable data, es- | pecially on the subject of marketing. Naturally, Sicesssiol marketing de pendent upon the proper growing of the | wool. In order that a good price may be obtained an offering of wool must be uniformly good, which means that it should be even in structure, length and | strength of fiber, and that it should be | as nearly free as possible from foreign matter, such as dirt, chaff or litter, burrs | and tar or paint marks. i If the wool is to be fairly uniform in | structure and length the individuals in the flock must be similar in breeding, is | the opinion of the Illinois Experiment Station. It further says that by using pure-bred rams of the same breed for a series of years, any flock can be graded up so that the type of wool will be suffi- | ciently uniform in the particulars men. ' ion to Satjsty the deitiands of the Har. t, provi proper attention is paid to | the } oi of the rams purchased and of i the ewes reserved for breeding. The ewes should be alike in fleece character- i istics. In addition toother very necessary | requirements aside from wool, they ! should carry fleeces even in quality, den- | sity and length. This is not meant in an | absolute, sense, for such is next to im. | possible. It is well known that the wool 1s almost never as fine on the thighs as | on the shoulders, and that it is rarely as | long on the underlines as it is on mid- | e. | —Some years ago the Colorado Experi- | ment Station issued a bulletin containing interesting suggestions concerning the | character of soils and particularly per- | taining to the great variety of life forms | that appear in soils. { most of us think of the soil asa mass of very small particles of rocks and | some moisture which furnishes physical | support and sustenance to plants that grow in it, and nothing more. We do | not think of it as teeming with life, but itis. Some of this life is beneficial to | the growth of the cultural plants which | furnish us our food and pleasure, but | some of it is indifferent or perhaps prej- | .

BROUGHT OVER FROM SPAIN Three Recipes That Have Found Fave or Because of Their Really Ex- | cellent Qualities. Chicken Spanish.—Chicken cut into i small pleces and fried brown in its | own fat and half cup olive ofl; add | clove garlic, medium sized onion, halt | can tomatoes, pepper, salt, five cloves, | two dozen allspice, one bayleaf. Stew | slowly one hour, adding a little water | il necessary. Thicken with flour and | water just before serving. | Spanish Summer Squash.—Fry in | butter an onion and three green pep- | pers chopped fine; add three ripe to- | matoes and stew well, seasoning with | salt and teaspoon of sugar. Add sum- i mer squash, sliced, and fry until soft. | Spanish Shrimps.—Large onion, six green peppers chopped fine and fried in butter; add two large tomatoes and cook well; then add a pinch of soda and cup of cream; then cangof chopped shrimps, A ———————————— Kitchen Line. A convenient clothesline for the | kitchen or other place where a clothes drying line is sometimes needed, is | rolled into an oxidized copper reel case about five inches in diameter. This reel screws to a wall or casing | and a hook is put up in a casing on | another wall. When the line is want- ed it is stretched across the space between tha two and is fastened by a ring over the hook, the reel mean- while catching it automatically and keeping it from slipping. When the line is not in use it is out of the dust i in the reel casing. The line is 24 feet | long. It would be a convenience for the kitchen veranda or porch of the summer cottage. Making Nut Muffins. Two cupfuls of flour, half a tea- spoonful of salt, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one cupful of milk, half a cupful of chopped nut meats, {Wo eggs, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of melted butter and half a teaspoonful of vanilla ex- tract. Mix and sift the dry ingred!- ents, then add the beaten yolks of eggs, butter and milk. Bea well, add the vanilla extract and the stiffly beat- en whites of the eggs. Divide into buttered and floured gem pans, bake in 2 hot oven for twenty minutes. EE — sm —— Sit While Ironing. There is an old-fashioned prejudice against sitting down while ironing. Our grandmothers would probably have condemned the woman caught in this practice as hopelessly lazy—but why not do so, especially when stand- ing at the ironing-board means tired, blistered feet and a frazzled temper? It might not be practicable to sit while Ironing a dress skirt or anything re- quiring a long reach of the arm, but handkerchiefs and such small pieces can easily be managed while sitting. Safeguard Against Moths. Gather wild yarrow, commonly called tansy; sprinkle freely among fur gar- ments of any sort, as well as woolen material. Lock your wardrobe; feel perfectly safe that when opened next fall your furs are unharmed by moths. Equally good for the buffalo bug; never fails. Nut Loaf. Mix one cup bread crumbs with one cup of ground nuts. Wet with one cup sweet milk and one beaten egg; Season with salt, pepper, sage; grate in some onion; bake 25 minutes; fine for lunch.

Salted almonds or peanuts and little | dishes of bonbons are scattered over Here are a few recipes for seasona- ' ble dishes for such functions: | Cold Chicken Bouillon.—Get good on in cold water, adding at the same tender carrots, one onion and a sprig of parsley. Let the chicken barely simmer until it falls to rags. Take it off the fire, remove superfluous grease and then strain. Clarify the bouillon with the whites and shells of two eggs and then strain again. Put on the ice until needed and serve in broad tin teacups or, better still, bouillon cups. Many persons prefer the bouillon hot. Combination Salad. —Wash a‘head of romaine salad in several cold waters. Then take large shears and strip the leaves into pieces about an inch wide. Clip green peppers in the same way, cutting these almost to threads. Put these in a large bowl, add some canned | asparagus tips carefully drained of | ' liquid, two tablespoonfuls of chopped | | chives, and four tender beets cut i | | thin slices, and then throw in the ten- | der hearts of two bunches of celery, | Use French dressing, olive oil, salt, pepper and This salad should be kept cold as ice before serving. Salted Almonds.—Shell two pounds of almonds and then boil them five minutes; remove skins while still warm. This is how the almonds are blanched.

Under skirts and waists for grown-ups can also be made. They make good pillow slips and quilt linings, and can be used for anything that requires good muslin. Restauraats usually Sal them at 25 cents per dozen for the fifty-pound size and 50 cents for the larger ones. Worn out hosiery can be made into good play drawers and under skirts and hose for children. For under skirts simpiy cut open and sew as many as needed to reach around waist, small end up; the flare makes enough full. ness. The feet in hose can be made | of contrasting shades of hose os of | fine kmit underwear, bottom of foot cut on double fold. —————————————— Left-Over® Used. Use the left-over potato from a pre- vious dinner in cakes with a smaller cake of sausage on top and bake un- til they are brown. The sausage sold loose at good markets is most con- venient for the cakes. The potato should be mashed and seasoned with a little butter, salt and pepper. One housekeeper uses a little bacon fat in place of butter on the potato. Left. over fish may be flaked, covered with cream and mixed with grated Amer- can cheese and be heated in the oven and served on toast, Lo. A ——————————— To Cook Brains.

Cook twenty minutes, drain and blanch in cold wa- ter and remuve any coarse fibres. Have a rich hot cream sauce made and add the brains to it.
