 Huntington was visited by mad dog, last week, about midday Thursday. The dog came through Isinglass and was the same dog that was in Nichols and bit dogs there. It bit four dogs iu the Gen. ter and two at Wells Hollow. The dogs of George Quick and Richard Mcdonald were bitten and were killed that night. The dogs of Mrs Mary Wheeler and Den- his Rich were bitten but have not been killed. Mir Rich has his dog locked in the barn awaiting further developments. The dogs bitten in Wells Hollow were MT Taylor's and Theodore Boards. Mir Fay lor's dog was killed; MT Boards is at large. The most singular part of it is that in all this mad dogs roamings and biting so many ether dogs, no one made any attempt to shoot or kill the dog, as has yet been learned. Some say that the dog was not mad because it could at times, when the fits were not on, be ap- proached, but those who have knowledge of the ways of mad dogs say that there is no doubt whatever but that the dog was mad.

One of the secrets of single eye plant ing is that where it is practiced the pota- toes are all large and fully matured. Of course such potatoes make better seed, and where the practice is continued from year to year, it may be profitable. Sin gle-eye planting should, however, be co., fined at first to drills. One stalk may be enough for each foot or l5 inches in the drill, or if it fails the loss is not much, but if planted in hills three feet apart each way, the failure of a single hill be- comes serious matter. With ordinary seed, single-eye planting must result in many missed hills. At first, therefore, only enough should be planted by single eyes for seed for the ensuing year. It may then better be determined whether the gain from having no small potatoes to sort out is sufficient to balance the les sened yield from single-eye planting.- GCultivator.

Notwithstanding reports circulated about town, we know it to be fact that the branch factory of Clover farm cream cry is to be permanently located on Will liam c. JohnsOn's property. As agreed upon, the milk is hauled to Bedding at present, commencing April l. The sep arator will probably be running by May l, as w. c. Johnson is already arranging to put in power sufficient to run it. It is through inducements offered by Mir John son that Mir Sanford can see his way clear to place the necessary machinery for handling smaller amount of milk than was at first talked of. This new enterprise for NewtOwn milk producers is bound to grow and be of great value to our farming community, if those who can will work for it and encourage d large supply.

The drink traffic is the product of two counter and appetite on the other. Law attempts to erect barrier between the two; the Gospel attempts to take greed out of one soul and appetite out of the other. It is a slow process, but a sure one. The longest way round is the short est way home. There are two methods of curing a sin; one by restriction from without, the other by inspiration from within Christian Union.
