Pennsylvania AGRICULTU
Advantages Gained by the state Agrl-

Advantages Gained bv the state Agri-
cultural Departments work.
Harrisburg, Jan. 3.-Thomas J. Edge,
secretary of agriculture has submit
ted his annual report for the year just
ended. The secretary reports that the
past year has been one Of advance all
along the line of the work falling under
the care of the department Through
various acts passed by the last legis-
lature the efficiency of the farmers
Institutes has been increased, the work
of the dairy and food commissioner eX-
tended and the forestry commissioner
enabled to more efficiently carry on the
duties imposed upon him. The state
veterinarian, through the live stock
sanitary board has also been enabled
to not only increase the efficiency of
his work, but TO greatly extend lis
scope and usefulness and to exercise
control over milch COWS and breeding
animals brought into the state and
to shut out diseased animals.
EVERY division of the department
has work to perform which, when
| properly appreciated by our farmers,
will more than repay the cost of all
of the divisions" adds the secretary.
Thus the work of the analysis of COM
merclal lertlllHerS much more than re-
pays the whole cost of the departments;
the benefits obtained from farmers in
stitutes, especially IN localities where
they are properly understood and taken
advantage of, more than repays the
total expenses incurred i'm supporting
the department. the benefits gained
by the work of the state live stock
sanitary board has been the means of
| saving live stock Of much more value
than the entire cost of the department.
and the work of the forestry division
will also more than repay the outlays
on account OF all of the work accom-
plished by the department during the
year"
Secretary Edge says the work Of the
| division under the control Of he daiF-
and food commissioner has progressed
steadily but it is greatly TO be reg
ted that a lack Of funds has more or
less crippled the performance Of GER
tain duties pertaining to the Office. The
annual appropriation of $4,000 is tor
small.

OUT OF THE FIRE.
Horse That Knew = Thing OF Tive
in Case of Emeruency.

| SIS S""C VI DAhCE8Chcys
The Governor had fine black driv-
ing horse called Dexter. Although
strong and spirited, Dexter was docile
and obedient, and was petted and made
much of by his master. AS the Cover
nor kept no other horse, Dexter had
the stable all to himself, with clean
stall and full manger.
The stable was near the house, and,
In addition to Dexter's stall and har-
ness room, contained large carriage
room, an oat bin, and hay NOW over
| the stall.
One night, when the family and the
servants were away from the home and
the Governor was in the house alone,
ne was awakened by an ominous
cracking and bright glare on his
chamber window, and before he could
collect his sleepy wits he was startled
by cry unlike any sound he had ever
heard. AS he sprang out of bed the
cry came again, and, Fastening to the
window, he learned the cause. The
stable was all ablaze, and out Of the
smoke and flames Dexter was calling
bis master to his rescue.
Pausing only to don coat and Slip
pers, the Governor rushed out. The
outside door of the stable leading into
the stall was already blocked by the
names, and the only entrance to be had
was through the carriage room, the
harness room, and a narrow entry
leading past the oat bin. These rooms
were on fire overhead, and burning
wisps Of hay and shingles were rain
Ing down in showers.
Blinded by smoke, the Governor
stumbled along the roundabout way,
and, reaching the stall sooner than he
expected, fell headlong down the steps
against the excited animal, who was
vainly Juggling at his halter. Think
Ing some new danger threatened him,
Dexter gave mighty kick that sent
bis master sprawling and famed him
for month.
Whoa, Dexter?" shouted the Cover.
nor. Don't you know me, sir?"
Steady now, old fellow, and we'll get
out of this"
Recognizing his masters voice, Dex-
ter turned his head toward the pros
trate man and uttered coaxing whin-
ny quite unlike his previous loud cries
Of alarm. Knowing he need fear no
more kicks, the Governor crept up and
cut the halter, and calling Dexter to
follow him, limped blindly through
the smoke-filred entry and the two ,
blazing rooms beyond. And close af-
ter him went Dexter, his nose pressed
against his masters shoulder, man and
horse reaching the safe outer air to-
gether.
1T was Dexters obedience that saw
ed him." said the Governor. Il could
not lead him, and had he shown the
least obstinacy or any less readiness
to follow at a word through all that
roundabout, unaccustomed way, must
have left him to perish in the flames.
But he followed like well-trained
soldier, and we escaped from our burn
ms, fiery furnace almost as safely as
'hadrach, Meshach and Abednego did
rom theirs"

Cycling in Europeun Turkey.

According to a correspondent in Sa.
lonica, the cyclist who is fond of bit
of fast work on the road can there
find himself accommodated without
difficulty. All he has to do is to sprint
for all he's worth, the police regula-
tons in nowise being framed to inter-
fere with his pleasure.
Perhaps this form of excitement is
excusable in Turkey, which possesses
no tracks whereupon the budding Zim-
norman, or Bourillon in embryo, may
take a fast turn against the watch. AL:
though the population Of Constantinople
is said to exceed one million, there are
but three hundred cyclists there, so,
apparently, cycling is in its infancy
on the Golden Horn.
In this respect the neighboring prin-
cipality of Roumania is better off, for
there is capital track now at Buch-
Arrest Among the Turkish peasantry,
cycles are still called Devils mounts"

The Dog and the Telephone.

The following dog story comes from
Toronto: "One morning not long ago
my sister went to see a friend who
lived mile or so from the rectory,
taking with her our little brown cock
er spaniel. When she left she quite
forgot the dog, and as soon as our
friends discovered him they did all
they could to make him leave, but
with no avail. Some hours passed and
he was still there. SO they telcphoned
to us to let us know his whereabouts.
Bring him to the telephone, said my
sister. One of the boys held him
while another put the trumpet to the
dogs ear. Then my sister whistled
and called come home at once, Paddy
Immediately he wriggled out of the
boys arms, rushed at the door, bark
Ing to get out, and shortly afterwards
arrived painting at the rectory. This

Crude OIL to Klndle FIres

The Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
tern Railway Company for some time
has been experimenting with crude oil
for kindling fires in locomotives In
place Of using cordwood, and the re-
suits obtained have been SO satisfacto
that it will hereafter be used on the
whole line. During the month of No.

which are located at Washington, Ind,
and Chillicothe, Ohio, 1925 fires were
started with crude oil at cost of s17.32.

would have cost $3o6, or "a. SO per fire.
This represents a saving of $28s.6S.

Burton had set his alarm clock for
$3.50, as he had some writing to do,

A Terrible Weapon OF Destruction.

Wayne. Me-, April 4.-Hudson Max
i'm, brother of Hiram Maxim, the in
ventor of the Maxim rapid fire gun,
has just invented a gun that in its
awful destructive force goes far be-
yond Hiram's. 1t is called the Maxim
aerial torpedo, and is designed for
coast defense and naval work. As its
name implies, the torpedo is fired into
the air, instead of being shot along
the surface of the water. In fact, 1t
is used the same as any cannon or
mortar The gun from which 1t is
fired has bore of 20 inches. 1t will
throw ton of dynamite a distance
Of five miles, and if the torpedo strikes
anywhere within 200 feet of warship
1t will SILVER 1t to atoms. Mr. Maxim
has also invented smokeless powder
to use with the torpedo.
