The Best Cultivated County i'm
America.

One of the very best cultivated
counties in the whole Republic is
said to be Lancaster county, Penn
sylvania, originally settled by Men
nonities, Moravians and Dunkers,
who fled from Germany and Hol-
land to avoid persecution during the
eighteenth century. They were
mining and agricultural people, and
their descendants to-day follow the
same callings that their ancestors
did, Lancaster was laid out in 1920,
and was the fourth county in the
State. 1t contains e2S square miles.
The value of the farms is estimated
at about 100000, of its agricul-
tural products nearly $2o,ooo,ooo.
and its minerals some $Io,ooo,ooo
The population is about 10000.
The farms are small, from 80 to 100
acres generally, farm of 200 acres
being very rare. These are seldom
sold. They are handed down from
sire to son-the Pennsylvania Dutch,
as they are commonly named, being
the moe! industrious, thrifty

At late meeting of the New
DIRK Board of Trade, the Commit
tee on Transportation made strong
report, charging corrupt practices
upon the railroads in packing the
New York Legislature and even
with sending-delegates to the Ma
tlonal conventions. 1t said the
whole railroad system is a plan ''for
the distribution of wealth and com
merce to the many for the benefit of
the few" and says: "Unless charges
for transportation are based upon
the cost of service, and regulated
by law, the railroads are virtually
owners of the country; indeed it is
more advantageous to the rail
road managers than if they had
proprietary interest in all property :;
for with charges for transportation
based upon the principle of what
the tariff will bear, and with the
railroad managers sole judges of this
question, they can tax all produc-
ton and commerce to the extent of
the entire profit without the trouble
orresponsibility of ownership"

Neither Complete nor SatisEac-
tory.
n. O. Times.


General Walker, superintendent of
the census, says that the census now
being perfected is the most complete
and satisfactory ever taken. 1t is all
very well for General Walker to give
us that sort of "taffy," but we are in
clined to believe that the census In this
city is neither complete nor satisfactory.
As far as we have been able TO learn
anything about it, the work has been
very inefficiently done. 1t seems easier
to find persons who have heard nothing
of the census enumerator than to find
those who have. What does st. Louis
think of General Walkers statement?

An Australian correspondent
writes to an exchange of his expert
ence in sheep dipping: 81 strongly
approve of dipping sheep immedi-
ately after shearing, either in solu-
ton of tobacco, potash and sui phur,
or a weak solution of arsenic of the
strength of / ounce to the gallon of
water. This cleanses the skin, and
effectually eradicates ticks and sheep
lice. The effect of occasional dip
ping in encouraging rapid growth
of wool is extraordinary. In 1864 l
cleaned $4,000 sheep of scab in the
Lower Began district, New South
Wales In April, just preparatory
to dipping, l sheared sheep and
dipped them at regular intervals in
tobacco, sulphur, and potash. The
growth of wool was SO rapid that
when l sheared again in the No
vember following, l got very toll
cradle fleece of perfectly sound wool
and had clean certificates from the
sheep inspector for every sheep"
We have seen the process many a
time, and have enjoyed the hospitali-
~ of the squatter princes, whose
run" often enclose more territory
than German principalities; for
which they pay by way of rent
from one cent to seven cents per
acre, per annum, holding the land
by an unquestioned tenure until it
is required for actual settlement by
the agriculturist, so that it paws
them to use artificial grasses for
feeding and fattening, instead of
depending upon the native kangaroo
grasses which become with age
very hard and why.

tain for your services all organization fees de.
rived from the formation of new Oranges and
to which the State Grange was entitled, also
the dues which dormant Oranges, reorganized
by you, would otherwise pay to the State
Grange. The several amounts you may collect
you will please report to this office in order
that the Oranges paying the same may receive
proper credit on State Grange books Give
dates of reorganization. Blanks will be sent
you if you desire.

were authorized by the Ninth Annual Sc sion

tions and reconnect your Oranges with the
State Grange by paying FIVE cents quarterage
per member, beginning 10Th the gu trter sn
which you II organize. Should dormant Gran
ges tail tc reorgauize, individual mem bers are
permitted to join working Oranges by paying
the latter the above named dues Can greater
