' FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
The brook has found its voice again,
The lark has found the blue,
The crocus but has found the sun,
The sun has found the dew,
The butterfly has found the light,
The grass the green of May,
And Christians all find joyous life
On holy Easter day.
While the jokes and often unkind
tricks formerly practiced on April
Day have now happily gone out of
fashion, there was never an epoch
when this day of mirth was more
widely celebrated than it is now.
Hostesses have come to appreciate
the date as one on which the “little
nonsense” which is “relished by the
best of men” may appropriately be in-
dulged in, and everywhere April Day
sociables or theatrical performances
of amateur nature, or dances, or sup-
pers are arranged.
A jolly way to entertain and one
which I can recommend from actual
experience, is a frolic beginning with a
performance followed up with a sup-
per and a dance.
The affair might be advertised as a
Topsy Turvy entertainment, and some
idea of the solemn nature of the pro-
gram might be conveyed by the invi-
tations, which could be written on
monogramed note sheets turned up-
side down, enclosed in envelopes with
addresses also topsy turvy.
For the decoration of the parlor or
the hall symbols of former feasts are
most effective. For instance, holly
wreaths and Happy New Year signs
can be hung up in prominent places,
while specially prepared placards with
illumined lettering could read: A
Happy Birthday to You, or any other
amusing nonsense that can be thought
up.
And in this connection festoons of
newspaper fringed and caught up with
huge cartwheels or rosettes of the
same inexpensive material are worth
mentioning as substitutes for the usu-
al crepe paper or flags, as the effect
is most ludicrous and truly in accord-
ance with the occasion.
Plant the household broom in a jar-
diniere of earth or sawdust and at-
tach to it a card such as those used
in the botanical gardens, reading
“Broomis Splendidus, Domestica.”
Feather dusters and whisk brooms
may also be arranged in pots and giv-
en mock Latin names in the same way.
The theatrical entertainment might
well be a series of tableaux in keeping
with the celebration, which must, of
course, be previously rehearsed and
provided for in the way of stage set-
ting costume.
Each tableaux should remain a se-
cret between the stage manager and
the actors in that particular scene in
order that those who participate in
other “pictures” may enjoy those at
which they assist as audience with all
the zest of novelty.
Or it may be that a few of the
company will act as troupe, not every-
body having time to devote to it in
advance, the rest of the company look-
ing on.
Of course, the tableaux are non-
sense, pure and simple. I will suggest
a few to show the plan, which the in-
dividual hostess can alter and work
out to suit her own ideas of what April
Day tableaux should be.
1. Walter Raleigh and Queen Eliz-
abeth (cloak episode) very much mar-
red by the fact that both the queen
and courtier wear enormous paper
noses while the queen carries an um-
brella for which chronology affords
no excuse.
2. Bluebeard and his wives. Blue-
beard representing the male popula-
tion stands swotd in hand confronting
a curtain through which appear the
heads of the many wives. The hair of
each “wife” is caught up with a pin
to look as if she was suspended by it
and across the street which serves as
a curtain is written in bold lettering:
We Died in the Cause of Equal Suf-
frage.
Our favorite flowers. A very floury
cook in ginhmam apron much padded
out to represent great corpulency is
seen making bread surrounded by
bags of different brands of flour.
Cinderella’s slipper. Cinderella seat-
ed before the prince, her face much
grimed with soot and cinders, extends
a foot made absurdly large by stuffing
out a stocking, while the prince du-
biously compares it with a tiny slip-
per in his hand.
The discovery of America. A group
of school children stand blankly in
front of a map of America while a
very croos looking teacher, ferrule in
hand, points out the different points
of interest.
Midsummer Night’s Dream. A huge
mosquito fashioned of raw cotton and
brown tissue paper is seen hovering
in mid air while a figure arrayed in
wrapper in night cap looks on as if
fascinated with terror.
The conclusion of the tableaux will
be a signal for the dance or cotillion
which may be the least expensive and
yet the merriest of the entire year in
th hands of an inventive entertainer.
Fool caps of paper for both sexes
would make attractive favors for both
sexes in the first dance and this is
something which any one can make.
Those of the boys should be in one
color or combination of colors and
those of the girls something differ-
ent. They are to be worn throughout
the rest of the evening.
Again little fringed bags of paper
confetti either made at home or pur-
chased already prepared could be dis-
tributed, or huge flowers of ludicrous-
ly combined colors made from crepe
paper, with cardboard spiders or
beasties made of fruit and nuts.
To decide the question of which man
and girl shall go in to supper togeth-
er pass around cards having the dif-
ferent names pied, so that they will
have to be puzzled out. Thus the
name Gray might appear as rGya and
so forth. The cards are distributed
according to plan and each man takes
in the girl whose name he receives the
partner also receiving his name to
puzzle out.

FARM NOTES.
—Three inches equal a palm; four
inches a hand, and six inches a span.
—Barnyard manure or nitrate of so-
da will often do wonders for rundown
orchards on poor soils.
— Indirect manures are those which
do not furnish the plant with food di-
rectly, but by freeing the plant food
locked up inthe soil are beneficial to
crops.
—It is estimated by fruit market
specialists that proper grading and
handling has extended the marketing
period of apples from four to seven
months, ’
—Experiments in rotation have
proved that larger crops of a better
quality always results if the rotation
plan is suitable to the conditions pre-
vailing.
—Try a little publicity this year
and notice the results. Place a sign
over the gateway, neatly displaying
the name of the farm in a conspicuous
and attractive manner.
—For early potato mixture: 150
pounds nitrate, 100 pounds sulphate,
300 pounds tankage, 400 pounds raw
bone, 800 pounds acid phosphate, 240
pounds muriate of potash.
—Better products, rather than more
poor or ordinary products, should be
the aim. One reason markets are so
poor is because they are offered so
many poor products. Good products
are seldom poor.
—Planting the same crop on the
same land season after season will
soon impoverish the soil for that par-
ticular crop and smaller yields of
poor quality will be shown on the av-
erage each year.
—Eggs for incubation should never
be held longer than ten days. Those
that are three or four days old hatch
nearly as well as those set immedi-
ately, but after they pass that period,
they start on the decline.
—As a rule, farmers keep their
horses too warm. Their stables are
too close, especially in the summer,
but this is true also of winter. A
well-fed healthy horse does not need
a blanket in the stable, summer or
winter.
—Clean up and burn all fallen limbs
and so far as possible reduce the num-
ber of hiding places for hibernating
insects. Protect the young orchard
against mice and rabbits by wrapping
the trunks of the trees with felt pa-
per or veneer.
—Crop rotation is a success. It can
be practiced on some farms more con-
veniently than on others. On raw
farm lands the problems of rotation
are harder to solve, but there are few
farms that can not be handled on the
fotation plan, at least in a modified
orm.
—In passing one sees many homes,
occupied by the same people for many
years, where not a shade or fruit tree
or ornamental shrub is visible. The
atractiveness and value of such places
would be much greater if shade and
fruit trees, shrubbery and a few vines
and flowers were planted.
—One of the reasons why failures
occur in dairying is because proper at-
tention is not given to details. There
are those with such expanded ideas
that to look after the more minute
portions of the business they would
| think it a waste of time. For this
| reason they are always branching out
on a grander scale, not giving heed to
the leakage that is so constantly going
on.
—Hot water is a simple, but effec-
tual remedy for caked udder after
calving. There should be frequent
baths with hot water. This should be
followed by rubbing with a mixture
of one part turpentine to two parts of
! melted lard, applying quite warm.
‘The udder should be rubbed and
| kneaded each time. ‘A teaspoonful of
i fluid extract of poke-root should be
given internally three times a day.
This treatment should be continued
for two full weeks.
—Low producing soils generally
need organi¢ matter. It has been de-
termined through experiments and soil
analysis that seldom do we find soil
without a liberal amount of plant food
of all kinds, but this food is not liber-
ated or made available to the plants
unless there is also a liberal amount
of organic matter in the soil. Neither
will added food in the form of com-
mercial fertilizer be of avail without
organic matter. There is nothing bet-
ter for the soil than to turn under a
crop of cowpeas, peanut vines, sweet
clover, velvet beans or other green
manure crops. Many farmers object
to turning under a crop that might
make good hay, but those who have
followed this practice find that the
succeeding crop of corn or other
grains is enough larger to pay a prof-
it on the investment. Continuous
cropping will eventually wear out the
best of land.
—A number of changes in the fed-
eral fruit and vegetable grades which
will be of importance to Pennsylvania
growers, are proposed by the federal
authorities working in conjunction
with the various State agencies.
Federal officials conferred with of-
ficers of the Bureau of Markets of
the Pennsylvania Department of Ag-
riculture regarding the changes, sev-
eral days ago.
The principal changes that affect
Pennsylvania are the two additions to
the potato grades. The first is a com-
bination grade consisting of any lot
of potatoes of which at least 756 per
cent. by weight, meet the require-
ments of U. S. No. 1 and the remain-
der of which meet the requirements of
1. 8S. No. 2.
In order to allow for variations in-
cident to proper grading and hand-
HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA.
Is Your Blood Good
or Thin and Watery?
You can tell by the way you feel.
You need Hood’s Sarsaparilla to
make your blood rich, red and pure,
tingling with health for every organ.
You need it if weak and tired day
in and day out, if your appetite is
poor, sleep unrefreshing,—for hu-
mors, boils, eruptions, scrofula, rheu-
matism, headaches, nervous prostra-
tion. It is simply wonderful ,to give
strength to your whole body.
‘It is agreeable, pleasant and con-
venient to take, and embodies a long-
tried and found-true formula. 67-34
ling, not more than 5 per cent. by
weight, of any lot may be below the
prescribed size and, in addition, not
more than 5 per cent., by weight, may
be below the requirements of U. S
No. 2, but this tolerance shall not re-
duce the percentage of U. S. No. 1 in
this grade below 75 per cent by
weight.
Another addition is that of U. S.
No. 1 Small. This grade is the same
as U. S. No. 1 except as to size, which
is not to be less than 1% inches in dl-
ameter. This is intended to take care
of the early stock that comes princi-
pally from the south.
Another change which will proba-
bly become effective is that in the tol-
erance allowed on defects. This tol-
erance has been increased 6 to 10 per
cent. by weight, but no one defect
shall exceed 5 per cent. by weight.
