The impression has been given out
that the marvellous extension of troll
ley lines throughout the country was
having a bad effect on the established
steam railroads by drawing passenger
traffic. It would appear from an
analysis Of the figures that this was a
premature assumption. The figures
show that the number of passengers
carried by the steam roads in 1895
was about SO. 200. 900, whereas in
1899 it was but 30. 800. 900. Thus the
number of passengers handled de-
creased but the passenger income in
creased from $l5. 400, 900 to s15,.
9OQ. 1000, because each passenger was
carried farther on the average. Last
year the number Of passengers a r
ried OF trolley lines was about Co.
00O, 600, actually more than on steam
roads, and the receipts were abou:
So, 600, 900. The conclusion seems 10
be that the trolley lines by 9
trating local interests will eventually
bsneftsrather than iniure the steam
-oads.

Putiing ONT Onion Sets,

In putting out onion sets, do not
think that there must be o hole made
for each set, and that when it is
glazed in the ground the dirt must be
pressed around it. Just open up a
shallow trench and scatter the sets ct
the right distance apart; then cover
up and press the dirt down firmly
with the feet. Walk right oyer them
back and forth until the soil is well
irmed. Sow onion seed very early in
the spring on we'll prepared, rich
ground. Sow in rows about eighteen
inches apart, and quite thick, if onion
maggot is likely to bother, and about
an inch deep. Several times before
the onions are up go over the ground
with a garden rake thoroughly. II
stones and sticks have been removed
this raking can be continued until
after the onions are up. This saves a
great deal of wedding. After the
onions begin to grow well, run the
garden rake between the rows FREE
quently, and always as soon after a
shower as may be. Continue this
cultivation till the onions are nearly
ripe. Do not roll the tops down or
break them over ~purposely. This
does no good, but will allow the weeds
to grow up. and they can not then be
taken out SO well.

In JAN For a Queer offence.

Because Dennis Cannon refused to
obey the mandate of the local court at
Scranton six years ago he was COM
mitted to Jail for contempt, and is
there yet. On one on two occasions
he has been brought into court and
asked to sign the paper which he says
would deprive him of his property,
but refused to do it.
Lately the funeral of his sister oc-
Cured, and by special permission of
the Court, and in the custody OF a
deputy sheriff, he was allowed to at
tend the obsequies, and immediately
afterward was taken back to Jail.
Gannon's obstinacy has not left him
after six long, weary years in Jail
without being guilty of any crime
save refusing to do that which the
Court orders. He is courteous about
the matter, recognizes the majesty of
the law, and says:

Saving Rough Fodder.

A few years ago not many farmers
in the corn-growing States thought of
saving their corn slower, though per-
haps they turned cattle in among it,
to eat a little and tramp it down.
Where small grain was grown, the
straw was thought to have very little
food value, though some kept their
stock half starved on it, Eastern
farmers, who were thought to be very
saving, seldom fed out bean straw or
pea straw. Now all these are saved,
and while they need more grain with
them than does clover or other good
hay, it is thought economy to feed any
or all of these, and by adding grain,
keep the animals in better condition
at less cost than when hay is fed, and
at the same time add to the value Of
the manure made on tie farm. Many
varieties of weeds also make good
rough forage if mown down and cured
before they have ripened their
seeds, and to do SO helps to keep the
land clean, and preserve the fertility
in it for more useful crops.

The State of Pennsylvania. throne

The State of Pennsylvania, through
the State Bureau of Forestry, is be-
ginning a systematic policy of forest
preservation. There are in the State,
especially at the headquarters of the
Allegheny and ~Susquehanna Rivers,
large forest tracts still in existence,
and the plan is for the State to ac-
quire these while the priceis still low.
Tracts on the headwarters of the
Delaware are also in view. The pur-
pose is to preserve these large forest
areas against Sc and waste, to refor-
est them whore the growth is scanty,
and thus to assure a timber supply
for the future and at the same time
put a stop to the drying up of the
streams by the forest denudation.
About 40, 900 acres have already been
acquired, and 10000 more are under
negotiation.

NEWS OF THE STATE.
The New Military Bill.

According to the terms of the new mill.
;ary bill, which has been introduced In the
legislature by Assemblyman Carr, Of
OCEAN County, Chairman OF the Committee
On Military, there will be no Civic Colonies
n New Jersey. The staff Of Aide-de-camps
20 the Governor will be abolished and the
Governor will have only one personal aide.
Who will have the rank of Lieutenant-Col-
,nei, and five other aides, who will be as
,igned on orders and will carry their own
:egimental or company rank. Frequent
shanges will be made In the personnel of
he Governors staff. The proposed new
.aw, which was constructed by a special
commission appointed by the Governor,
consisting OF Generals Sewell, Spencer,
Wanser, Captain Irving and Captain Hutch
nson, models the National Guard as near
y as is possible to make 1t, after the regu-
ar army. The Governor Is the Commander
n-Cbief with absolute power. He can place
IN officer on the retired list with a brevet
rank, one grade higher, after twenty-five

Keeping Well Water Pure.

Keeping Well Water Pure.
It used to be an old-fashioned CTS
tom in the country to put one or Two
trout in a we'll to insure the water be-
ing pure and wholesome. If they did
not keep it SO it was supposed that
they would give warning of its i'm
purity by dying themselves. We are
reminded of this by seeing in an Eng
lish paper that Professor Sobreto, of
Turin, has lately advised the use of
cells in the house c~istern for the same
purpose. He says two or three not
.arge but lively cells weuld devour
anything in the water in the shape of
animalcules, infusoria, bird dropping
from the roof or vegetable matter of
any kind. We think they would also
take any animal matter like toads or
rats that might fall in and drown.

Longer Season For shad.

As~semblyman Blohm has had his bill
regulating fishing before the shad fisher
men wao have given considerable atten-
tion to the measure. The bill makes the
SEASON for shad and carp from February /
to June Is, an extension of five days over
the old law on shad. The selling Of shad
Is made legal until July l, and the fishing
with meshes less than five inches Is pro-
hibited, except a license be procured from
he Fish and Game Commission, and a
bond of 5000 given to return ali fish to the
water except carp. cells. catfish and suck
ers. The taking OF rock fish under six
inches n pike under twelve inches Is pro-
hibited. 1t Is the opinion OF some of the
fishermen that the sale of shad should not
be longer than " days after the close day,
as fifteen days would act as a premium
on illegal fishing OF spawning grounds
up the river. These men favor q season
for carp from November / to April l, when
there are no other fish. Carp are better In
cold weather, and fishermen have no other
business.

Protect The hillside.

Improper treatment of the hillside
often results in putting the hillside
fields in q condition where tiflage is
almost impossible. By nature our
hills are, for the most part, covered
with forests or growths of underbrush
that protect the soil from the effects
of running water. The soil is kept IN
q porous condition and the rain that
falls, being conducted by a thousand
branches and trunks, follows down the
roots and soaks away through the
soil.
But many of these hillsides have
been cleared of all tree growth and
been either converted into plowed
fields or into pastures. Where con-
verified into grass fields aud kept in a
high state of fertility the damage has
not been so great. But in the case OF
the plowed field the land has been put
in the very best condition to be
washed and quilted. Where the pas.
ture has been kept close the land is
hardly less subject to washing. Ere
uuently after q sudden and heavy
iownpour the heart of the farmer is
made sick te see the devastation that
las occurred on such fields.
The remedy is to use these fields
and pastures for other purposes.
Where il is not thought advisable tc
attempt to cover them with a small
forest, they may be used for orchard
purposes, but will have to be kept
covered with sod as a soil binder.
They, however, have this disadvan-
tage for orchard purposes, that Guilt
walton is not given except at the sac
riice of the very conditions it is de-
sired to establish. Altogether, it is
best to establish the wood lot or the
timber belt on the hillsides that are
subject to outlying, but where this Is
not possible or profitable put the land
into heavy grass and do not pasture il
at any time of year. Encourage the
sod to thicken, and this will reduce the
danger Of outlying to q minimum.
Farmers that are clearing hillsides for
the first time must DO careful not to
leave the soil bare for q few months
before putting it to use. Anew heavy
rains may do damage that it will take
years TO repair.-Farm. Field and
Preside.
