Household Notes.
The living room table should never
be crowded with books. A few are
enouch.
A matter of vital consideration in a
successful home is the color of the
rooms, It should be simple and rest-
ful always, because home is a place
\ of refuge.
Always keep a bundle of clean
white rags on hand and a bottle of
disinfectant.
Pies should always be glazed with
white of egg if you wish them to be
shiny brown.
Every room in a house, eyen in
winter, should be thoroughly aired at
least once a day.
An old catalog kept near the stove
is handy to set a sooty pan on inlan
emergency.
A china dish with three compart-
ments is handy for passing}. cheese,
butter, and biscuits.
F Try beating carpets and rugsjon a a
get of bedsprings—they will lookzas S it
done by a professional. a.
Individual tarts are always attrac-
tive and make an agreeable change
for the luncheon table.
Plenty of towel rails aroud the bath-
tub are advisable if the room is used
by more than one person.
Grease the bottoms of pots and ket-
tles before putting over the coals,
and they will not become black.
Reg ice in the water forms a coat-
-ing inside the teakettle it may be re-
moved with vinegar or sulphuric acid.
Be careful to wash the kettle after-
ward
Cut short pieces of white passepar-
tout paper and type or print on the
names of jellies, preserves, etc. Be-
ing already gummed, they will save
trouble.
if you are afraid of draughts, have
screens covered with coarse muslin
to fit into your windows just like or-
dinary fly screens and use them at
night. .
Barley is not used as extensively as
it should be. It is excellent in soups
and delicious as a cereal, but in the
latter case it needs long cooking in a
double boiler. | ;

Go Slow in Extensive Orchard
Planting.
A gentleman from Chester county
wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface, State
Zoologist, Harrisburg, saying, ‘About
two years ago I joutlined to you my
plans for planting an orchard at this
- place, and you advised me to curtail
my planting. AccordinglygI planted
but half what I hadjintended to, and
I very much thank you for your sound
advice. Conditions have been such
that it would have been difficult to
have attended to the area originally
anticipated. However, next spring I
expect to be in shape to plant a few
more trees, and will appreciate any
advice you may give me as to varie-
ties. Are the parasites controlling
the scale?”?
Prof. Surface replied as follows:
‘By next spring you will know
more about how much you can han-
dle, and it will be proper to add such
‘ areas to your orchard as you can han-
dle all right.
“You have planted good varieties,
and I do not know that I could add
much more to that list unless it be
the Rome Beauty. I must acknowl-
edge that the Ben Davis while not
high in quality is the greatest money
maker I have seen, and there is a de-
mand for it late in the season when
others are gone. Smokehouse and
Pound are both good varieties for
your region. For peaches you can
well pin your faith to the Elberta. If
you wish additional varieties make
them the yellow varieties following
Elberta. Among these should be the
Late Crawford, Smock and Geary.
‘There could be no doubt of the
fact $hat the parasites of the scale
are ‘cleaning up this pest over large
areas in this State. This I have dis-
covered and proven with centainty.
I have not published extensively on
the parasite subject yet, but I am
preparing a Bulletin now.”’

SELECTING THE DAIRY SIRE
Best Course for Average Dairyman to
Pursue ls to Purchase Bull Calf
on Pedigree.
i: W. A. BARR, United States Dalry
Yision. Colorado Agricultural Col-
lege.)
Hiram Smith before a Missouri in-
stitute was once asked, “What would
you buy if going into the dairy busi-
ness?” He replied, “A bull” The
statement that “a good sire is one-
half the herd, while a poor one is all
of it” should have much significance
for the dairyman.
Two cow-testing assteiatione have
been organized in this state, by the
United States Dairy division. In these
associations are 47 of the most repre-
sentative dairymen, who own 1,000
cows. Thirty-seven per cent. of these!
herds are headed by grade or scrub
bulls. When we consider the 7,000
dairy herds of the state, the cows of
which average a trifle more than 100
pounds of fat the past year, then ean
be seen how vital is the question of
the dairy sire when it is the only
available means of raising the produc-
tive standard of our herds.
For the average dairyman the best
course to pursue is the purchase of
a bull calf on the strength of his an-
Superior Bull and Calif.
cestors, preferably the dam, and trust
that he will transmit the desirable
characteristics to a high degree. In
the selection of a sire give reliance to
close ancestry, in preference to blood
of the fourth, fifth and sixth genera-
tion. We often hear a man say that
his bull is a Golden Lad or a De Kol,
when an examination of the pedigree
shows the famous individual is five or
six generations distant, which means
about 1% to 3 per cent. of the noted
|
individual’s blood. |
‘When purchasing a sire, see if possi-|
ble his dam. She should be of good
size for the breed, a regular breeder,
possess a strong constitution and vi-
tality, with well-developed ‘barrel
mammary system and have made a
good yearly official record.
DANGEROUS DISEASE OF COW
Every Case of Abortion Should Be
Regarded With Suspicion Until *
Proven Otherwise.
Cows which have aborted one or two!
‘times should be disposed of only i
they fail to conceive after a -subse-
quent covering, provided they have re-
ceived suitable disinfecting treatment. |
By keeping pregnant animals the dis-
eage will be brought to a standstill
more quickly than if new susceptible
material is continually added in their
place. Some cows apparently become
immune without aborting. It is the
history of the disease in the great
Ate height, it gradually subsides of its
own accord until only a few slips oc-
cur each year or it may disappear en-
In herds where abortions have
not occurred for several years, or at
least only rarely, the owner should

proven otherwise. If a slip occurs the
cow should be isolated at once and!
treated as directed above. The por-|
tions of the stall or corral contami:

curred at pasture, the fetus and after-
birth should be searched for and re-
moved and the infected spot of ground
where they have lain should be burned
over.

BANK SAFE FOILS
TOIL OF THIEVES
Vault Holding $50,000 Resists
Blasts and Sledges
MANY TRACES WERE LEFT
The Attempted Robbery Was Discov-
ered By a Man Who Was Pass-
ing the Bank and Saw One
of the Front Doors Ajar.
Sharon, Pa.—Wahile two “pals” stood
guard at the front and rear doors of
he First National Bank of Sharpsyille,
.wo miles north of Sharon, two burg-
ars worked on the vault in the bank.
The vault contained $50,000 in cur-
cency and several times that amount
n negotiable paper, according to the
officials of the bank, but the burglars
failed to reach the goal.
The attempted robbery was discov-
ered by a man who was passing the
bank and saw one of the doors ajar.
He opened it and found the outer
door of the vault blown open and the
inner door wrecked. He informed of-
ficials of the bank, who investigated
and then issuéd a statement that
nothing was missing from the vault.
The men jimmied a side door, bored
into the outer door of the vault and
blew it open with nitro-glycerin, the
fumes of which were still in the
room when the attempted robbery was
discovered. The men bored the inner
door and attempted to blow it open,
but in doing so the bolts that lock
the door were broken and the men
were unable to open the vault. They
used a sledge hammer and a crow bar
on it, but both failed in breaking it
open. The vault is damaged beyond
repair, it is said.
That two men were on guard for
several hours at both the front and
rear doors was evident because the
loors about both doors were covered
with tobacco juice and about each door
were several well chewed quids.
What time the men began their work
is not known.
Sharpsville is without police pro-
tection after midnight. A year ago
the safe in the postoffice in Sharps-
ville was™ blown open and a large
amount in money and stamps was
taken. In the last two years three
or four safes have been Llown open
m the town.
Conservatory is Blown Up.
Giasgow, Scotland. — A bomb out-
rage believed by the police to have
been carried out by militant suffra-
gets, destroyed the extensive con-
serva‘ory in the Glasgow botanic gar-
dens known as the Kibble Crystal Pal-
ace. The great glass roofs and sides
of the structure were blown into thou-
sands of pieces. Many valuable plants
were ruined.
ROBBERS CAUGHT WITH LOOT.
Four Taken With $1,700 and $5,000
Found Hidden.
St. Joseph Mo.—Four men believed
to have robbed the Ludlow Bank were
captured at Braymer. They had $1,700
in’ their pockets and were taken back
to Ludlow where the money was iden-
tified by bank officials. The remaind-
er of the $5,000 taken from the bank
was found in a sack hidden near the
bank, being too heavy for the robbers
to carry.’ {
