Harrisburg, Pa, March 1.-Col.
James M. Guffey, of Pittsburg, member
of the National Democratic Committee,
tonight gave out the following signed
statement in connection with the letters
from the Democratic Senators and Con-
gressmen made public last night by
Congressman-elect Joseph C. Sibley:
"The distinguished Democratic Uni
ted States Senators and Representa-
tives, who are foreign to Pennsylva-
MIA and not in touch with her political
conditions mean we'll and no doubt are
honest in their expressions, but have
heard only one side Of the question
about which they write.
"The Democrats of Pennsylvania are
honest and fully capable of dealing with
the Senatorial situation themselves.
They are familiar with both Republican
factions, their strong and weak points
and as for themselves their course was
distinctly outlined in the Altoona plat
form, on which the campaign was
fought That platform made it posi-
BILE to elect the eightyseven members
of the Legislature who now play such
a prominent part in the Senatorial
struggle, and who will continue to do
so and that, too, strictly within the
lines and in full accord with the Dem
ocrati cplatform and the campaign.
1.-The Democratic party of Pennsyl-
vania, through its representatives in
the Legislature, and as now organized
and conducted, is an honest body and
will be responsible to the people for
their action and the outcome of the
Senatorial contest.

this evening and is the guest of Gov
ernor Stone at the executive mansion,
where he was called upon by a large
number of Senators and members and

thing to say regarding the political
situation, the Senator said:
THE purpose of my visit is simply
to meet my friends who have so con-
sistently and Loyalty supported me as

SCIENCE OF GRADING.
Preserving Hilisides Is Not rs For
midnbie n Task nv Many Sup
pose ID to lie.

The grading of undulating lands. and
in fact any soil that washes badly, is
not n difficult task. Various preventive
measures have been adopted, such as
horizontal embaIkmcnt, liberal fertil-
izing, deep blowing, fiat culture, bind
ing crops and rotation, which prevent
washing. The graded embankment has
given good satisfaction in the south.
BY this method, as illustrated, the em-
bankment must be large enough and
strong enough to carry off all water
during the heaviest rains; must be of
uniform grade with equal fall in all
places, about one inch to rod. Where
to locate embanlments, the grade to
give them, construction as to shape and
strength and distance apart must all
be considered by each man doing the
work.
Before lines can he run an instru-
ment must be secured that is strictly
accurate and perfectly reliable, one

COLD STORAGE PAYS
Reap BiR Profit Which Fruit
Growers should save.

The fruit farm is the proper place for
the cold storage of fruit. This is ac-
knowledged now by the best authori-
ties on cold storage. The reason for
this is that the fruit must of necessity
be injured and wasted in handling be-
fore it reaches the cold storage i'm the
cities. In order TO keep fruits for a
long time in cold storage they must be
raised and packed especially for this.
Dealers who receive II surplus of fruit
in hot weather send part of il in cold
storage for few days to prevent its
rotting OH their hands, but this is very
different from the cold storage Of fruits
for a long period until all of the other
fruit is OFT the market. Thus grapes,
pears, apples and similar fruits are
put away i'm cold storage until long
past middle winter. Then they are
brought out and sold for fancy prices.
The loss which the dealers suffer in
handling this fruit is due to the de-
terioraton OF the fruits while in transit
to the city. In the great lake grape dis
tricts in western New York the grow
ers have their own cold storage and
they have found that the grapes picked
from the vines and carried direct to the
cold storage house keep much better
and longer than any put in cold storage
in the cities. These grapes can he mar
keted in the middle of winter without
much loss from waste.
The possibilities OF cold storage on
the farm will he appreciated by an
other generation, and every large fruit
farm will have its cold storage house.
The ordinary ice house is used on some
farms where ice can be easily obtained
in the winter season. But the farmer
situated inland from any body OF fresh
water is not rendered helpless. The
ammonia and dry air process OF freez-
ing and making cold storage is even
cheaper than using ice. II costs more
at the beginning to start an ammonia
cold-storage plant, but after il has
once been erected the cost OF main
tanning ii is cheaper than using ice.
The dry cold air that comes from one
of these cold-stornge plants is better
for the fruits than the damp air that
prevails in an icehouse. The construc-
ton of such cold-storage house by
number of farmers in one locality
would prove Il feasible plan. and in the
end the cooperative work would pay.
The lack of cold-storage facilities has
caused thousands OF dollars worth OF
loss on nearly every fruit farm of any
size in the country. Not only would
such storage place be of inestimable
value in keeping the fruits few weeks
to take advantage Of the markets, but
il would serve as a place to keep GER
tain fruits for out of season markets
when prices always rule high. At pres
cnt the merchants in the cities reap all
this profit IS. w. Chambers, in Ameri-

THE WEAVING PROBLEM.
In order to Make Good Calf the
Youngsters should he Weuned
Almost Iustcntcr.

A lady in Mississippi has Il fine calf
from heifcr only II months old; IA
grade between the Jersey and the
Friesian breeds. She does not need the
milk and queries whether il he best to
turn heifer and calf into pasture or to
let the calf draw the milk twice Il day.
Either way would spoil both dam and
calf
In order to make a good COW of the
hefer and well-be haved youngster of
the calf, the best time to wcan calf is
instanter. No matter what the object.
A calf, If healthy, can be taught to
drink from the bucket in three days.
We are not unmindful of the fact that
the natural way for the calf to look for
nourishment is to look up, but we also
know that to drink any drinkable sub
stance, either water or milk, the calf
must hold its head down; hence, sooner
drink.
We are also mindful Of the fact that
the first milk is n physic, but that fact
has never given us any trouble; the
first milk drawn from the dam does
not lose all of that property. Another
season for the "instanter' is that n
hefer is easier TO handle and to gentle
or break to milking. The process is
agreeable to the animal to have relief
from distended udder. When the
calf is placed in n pen or stall near the
dam and she sees il doing well, she will
new little, but will soon quiet down
and be content, especially when she
notices the conttntment of her young
and it chewing the ctd.
There is always more or less danger
Of young COW learning to suck her
self, vice when once learned she will
never forget. There is no end of trouble
with such an animal. There is beauti-
ful young Jersey COW that practices
it. All manner OF contrivances have
been applied with very Indifferent re-
suits. OF course. in n very valuable
animal il may be endured, but can never
be entirely cured.--C. w. Murtfeldt, in
