Hon. SAMUEL LIEN.--0ur distinguish
ed former townsman, Hon Samuel Linn,
so well known and 30 highly respected by
the people of Centre county, was some
time ago honored by Judge Morrow, of
Bradford county, with the appointment of
master and examiner in very important
equity suit In that county which involves
large sums of money. To perform the
duties required of him Judge Linn recent
ly went to Towanda, the county scat of
Bradford county, and in the Rceie,o of
that place, the following complimentary
notice, which we transfer with extreme
pleasure 10 the columns Of the DEMOCRAT,
was made of his presence
at is not known 20 many of our people
that Judge Linn was formerly resident
of our county, but such is the fact. He
came from Bclleionte here in the year 1886
at the age of sixteen, and was an engineer
on the North Branch canal under his
uncle, Mr.. Harris, who was chief engineer,
He remained here till some time in the
year 1882 and has often been heard 70 say
that "thcy were the three happiest years
of his life" 1t is certain deep and pleas
ant impressions we're made upon his mind,
for he not only remembers events, but the
names of persons from Browntown TO
Athens, their business and peculiaritics.
He thinks he knew every man, woman and
child along the line of the canal between
those two points. Aside from the hard
work he had 10 do, it is not claimed but
that he enjoyed fun, and that his happi-
ness in this respect was not Circumscribed.
Ii WAS the jubilant, jolly overflow not un-
expected in n young man of his ability and
sound bodily condition. And now after
forty-two years Of "hard knocksn in prAc.
tical life, he returns 10 US IN the maturity
of manhood, but inclined 10 feel young
again and live over the merry days of 80
.. Many of his friends and acquaintance
are gone tbs true, but many remain who
will extend 10 him warm hands and cor
dial greetings, and make his sojourn
among US as pleasant Is possible.
After he left our county, he read law ht
Carlisle, was admitted 10 the bar In 1913,
practiccd his profession IN Bcllefontc until
1853, when he was elected President Judge
Of the district composed Of Clinton, Cen
tro and Clearleld. After serving out
nearly his term, he resigned, and about
twelve year, ago came TO Williamsport

of the State. The parties to the equity

Water for Chi ckens.

These long, warm days are the ones
when the young chickens, and the old
ones too for the matter of that, are apt to
suffer for want of water. The chickens
are not supposed, by some people, to need
any water, and they give themselves no
trouble whatever to furnish it to them.
Such practice is very inconsderate it is
worse, it is cruel and even wicked. The
chickens need and will drink great
deal of water if they can get it and will
not thrive and prosper as they should
unless they have suf1iciency of water.
They want good, clear water too. 1t is
not necessary that it should be very cold
but 1T should be pure and wholesome
The most convenient method to water
the chickens when they have not access
to running water is to take a good-sized
keg or small barrel and bore very small
hole in the one end or at the side near
one end, and set it in good shady place.
Then fill up with good clear water,
cover the upper end with board, and
set small shallow vessel where it will
catch the water as it slowly trickles
from the larger vessel. The barrel
should be set upon something, and the
and the shallow vessel upon the ground.
Try this method.

Terms.

AS there Is often mixing up of the
use of terms used by breeders, the follow
ing from a manual on cattle, may serve
to give our readers proper idea as to
. their meaning:
A Breed Is race class or kind of ami
mall, ,having certain peculiarlties of form
and other characteristics different from
others of the same family.
Thorouqhbred animals are those which
have been bred in direct line sufficiently
long to establish a fixed type, which
they have the power of transmitting
with uniformity to their offspring.
FuH- Biood.-In Kentucky the results
of the sixth cross are called full. blood.
This should not be confounded with
thoroughbred, as an animal that is full
booded is only 63-65 of the blood of the
thoroughbred used in the cross. Thus
the first cross of thorouhbred bull on a
"native" cow produces lf-bred-the
next cross of thoroughbred on the half
breed produces a three.quarters; the
third cross of thoroughbred on the
three quarters produced seven.eighths
on seven-eighths, fteen-sixteenths; on
fifteen-sixteenths, thirty
onds; thirty ne-thirty-seconds, sixty
three sixty fourths, which is called full
blood. The unlnitiated are liable to be,
and sometimes have been, imposed upon
by confounding full-blood with thor
oughbred.
Cross. Breed animals are the offspring
of thoroughbred male of one breed out
of thoroughbred female of another.
Grades are the offspring of thor
oughbred male or female and what are
known as common stock, which belong
to no particular breed; or any other
thorough or cross.b breed.
High Grades are tn ose having a pre-
ponderance of pure blood, such as the
offspring of a thoroughbred bull out of a
half bred cow, which is three-fourths.
Full blood animals are high grades.
Lou Grades embrace half breeds and
all gradations below so long as the inn
press of the thoroughbred is visible.
"Cononlon " Stock, " Scrubs, I" or " Ma
tives" are those which have been indis-
criminately bred until there is no recog-
nizable trace of any breed and no uni
fermity of type. 10 this class belong
nearly all the cattle in Pennsylvania.
The only breeds which are pure in
America are Devon, Durham or Short
Horn, Ayrshire, Jersey, Holstein or
Dutch, and Hereford. In Europe the
Angus Polled, the Galloway, and the
Scotch Highland are highly esteemed,
but, as yet, none of consequence have
been imported into this country. We
have polled cattle in America, but none
have been bred pure on this side of the
Atlantic.

This lar body of Baptists' COM
posed OF fifty q, urches, having an
aggregate M 'mhership OF 1900, met
in Trezevant. Carroll county, Oh the
18th inst. The annual sermon was
preached by the Rev. Mr. Tigrett; it
was an earnest. practical sermon, and
was we'll received by densely pack
ed house. At the close of this service
the letters from the various churches
were read, and the delegates names
enrolled. The letters indicated the
fact that the churches were in pros
porous condition.
Rev. NJ. Hillsman, d. d., of Tren-
ton, was elected Moderator. and Prof.
Irby, OF jackson, Secretary. The
Association at once proceeded to bust
ness. The delegation was unusually
large, all the churches being represeu.

with interesting audiences. Several
prominent visitors were present.
among them the Rev. DIR Graves, Of

visitors citizens and strangers enjoy
ed themselves very much, and felt
that it was good to be there. The
good people of Trezevant will not,
soon forget the meeting, nor will the
delegates soon forget the hospitality
extended to them by the citizens of
Trezevant and vicinity, One inter-
esting feature about this meeting was
that not one discordant note was
struck, not one jar felt in all its ses>
sion. The Association adjourned
to meet with the Beech Grove church,
