sensation last night by donning tights

applause. The women were Indignant
at the gentlemen who appeared in the
front row with bald headed wigs.

Foundation of Freedom.

EDITOR HERALD The Jews are now
observing the Passover. The observance
continues to the 18th inst. 1t is remem-
brance of more than 5000 years ago, when
their forefathers, under the leadership of
the great and world.renowned General
and law and bible giver, Moses, fought
against the despot and tyrant, Pharoah,
King of Egypt. The Jews were the first
people in the worlds history to fight for
freedom. Although at that time they
were slaves, they fought against one OF
the strongest of Kings. 1t was by the
love of freedom that Moses was first
introduced to them and by the help Of
God that they overpowered the enemy
the King and soldiers of Egypt. All ovel
the world, wherever the Jew resides, OF
the farm, as we'll as in the city, he vii
keep the holiday with great ceremony
for this holiday was the foundation o
freedom. HARRY LEVINE.

NEW MOSQUITO REMEDY.

An exchange says: An enterprisine
young mar, who is part owner in a boat
house down the river, claims to have
discovered something that will be of
inestimable value to mankind if exper.
fence proves its worth. The inhabi-
tants of this down-the river boat house
were nearly torn to pieces by mosqui-
toes every time they attempted to sleep
in the house at night. Screens seemed
to be of no avail, and it looked at one
time as if the house would have to be
abandoned. Finally an old lady who
lived in the neighhorhood told them
that she had not been troubled by mos
quitoes for years. Her remedy was
astonishingly simple. She discarded
all screens and threw the windows
wide open at night. Across the open
space Of the window she stretched a
piece of red ribbon about two inches
wide. "a mosquito" said she, ''can-
not be induced to pass that ribbon"
Why it is SO | do not know, but
know the natives in India take this
means of battling the vicious mosquito.
1t works to perfection here also. The
young man followed instructions, and
now declares that there has not been
mosquito In the boat house since the
ribbon was stretched across the doors
and windows.

TESTING THE COWS,

"Test your cows" is the advice con
tinually given by dairymen and agri
cultural papers and, like most advice
is needed least by those who need il
most. Many farmers, while admitting
its wisdom, excuse themselves from
following it on the plea that they have
no testing apparatus, and therefore no
means of knowing the respective per-
formances Of the COWS.
TO snch / would say that no scien-
tific apparatus is necessary. The churn
is after all the most satisfactory kind of
tester. All that is necessary is to keep
one cows milk separate for a couple Of
days, all the cream being carefully re-
moved. When the cream has ripened
it should be churned, and the scales
will give the produce, both of milk and
butter. After each cow in the herd
has thus been tested. a comparison of
results will tell which are the most
profitable and which do not pay for
their keep. A little of this kind of
testing would cause many farmer to
change his opinion of the respective
members of his herd, and enable him
to weed out worthless stock. Try it.
The test is simple one it is easily ap-
piled, and the results cannot be dis
puted. Try it, and you will never re-
gret the bother you have had in find
ing out the leak in your profits.

SHORT TOMATO CROP,

That the tomato crop Of the PENN
sula would be short one this veal
was known as early as April last. Can.
ners of this fruit lost money last year
and this season contracted for only
about one-half the usual acreage. But
even the deceased acreage is yielding
very poorly, and tht total pack Of can.
ned goods will not be one-third what
it was last season. The shortened yield
will benefit the packers, for the price
OF the canned article is steadily ad-
vancing; but the grower will receive
no advantage. The reason of this is
that the Gamers made contracts with
the growers before the crop was grown.
When the contracts were made the
Gamers were unable to pay more than
that sum for the reason that the sea-
son just passed had been a bad one,
and many of them had lost money.
Tomatoes on the Peninsula are nearly
ali raised by contract and the price
fixed when the contract is made. The
general contract price this year is SIS
per ton, or cents per basket. t.-Nescs

TIME TO CUT TIMBER.
An old. time farmer, whose recollec'
tion extends back to tbs early years Of
the present century, writes thus:
If oak, hickory or chestnut timber is
felled in August, in the second run
ming of the sap, and barked, quite
large tree will season up perfectly, and
even the twigs will remain in a sound
condition for years whereas, that cut
in winter and remaining until the next
fall, Will be completely sap-rotten and
unfit for any use. The body of the oak
split into rails will not last more than
ten or twelve years. Chestnut will
last longer, but not SO long as if cut in
August. Hickory cut in the eighth
month will not be worm-eaten and will
last a long time for fencing.
When first began farming it was
the rule to cut fence timber in winter.
White oak posts and black oak rails,
cut at that time. l found would not
last more than ten or twelve years. In
1903 l cut fence timber in August.
Many of the oak rails cut that year
were in good condition when I last saw
them, seventy years later, and many of
the chestnut rails we're sound too. If
the bark is not taken off in August,
however, it will peel off itself the Sec
ond or third year, leaving the sap per-
fectly sound. The tops of the trees are
also more valuable for fuel than when
cut in the winter or spring. 1 advise
young farmers to try the experiment
for themselves.

MILKING.

Under the head of milking may be
comprised the cleanliness of the
animals and the manner and time of
milking. The introduction of separa-
tors practically revealed the necessity
for cleanliness in a COW stable. At
the termination ef the process of sepa-
rating peculiar slime is to be found
adhering to the sides ef the separator,
Its color varies from gray to green,
brown, and even black. When exam
ined under the microscope, germs, por-
tions of plants, hair, SCOT, linen have
been discovered, and when exposed to
the air for short time it putrefies rap
idly. 1t consists in reality of dirt, and
as such, must injure the quality of
milk and butter. In order to keep the
milk as free from the dirt as possible.
the COWS ought to be rubbed down
with straw whisk on their right hind |
quarters and udders before they are
MIXED in the morning. During the
lay it is necessary to currycomb and
brush each animal. The best kind of
brush to be used is one made rather
nore open than an ordinary horse
