Attempted to Plunder Home OF Will
liam Macklem

An unsuccessful attempt was made
at / o'clock yesterday morning to bur-
glarize the residence of William Mack

Mrs. Macklem was awakened at the
above hour by a noise OF someone
moving around in the parlor below

out. for with an oath the man struck
another.
Calling her husband, Mr.. Macklem
went downstairs and saw the stranger
attempting to light the lamp.
Hello. there" called Mr.. Macklem.
Hello" answered the intruder, and
making. for the open door, made his es-
cape before Mr.. Macklem could inter
.cept him.
Entrance was effected by the front
door, and but for the timely awaken
ing of Mrs. Macklem, the would-be
thief would have had a clean field FOR
his nefarious business.

EXPENSE OF HAULING.
IN New Jersey 1t Has Been REDUCED
to q Minimum by the Building
Of stone Roads. Asna-

Regarding the making of stone roads
the question is frequently asked wheth'
er the increased taxation does not
amount to more than the advantages
gained. State Commissioner Budd. Of
New Jersey, reports that before the
construction of good roads the expense
of carting few pounds of produce to
market was so great that farmers
where possible, found it much cheaper
to send by car or boat. But now they
are purchasing broad tread wagons
which carry from 100 to 225 five-cighths
bushel baskets of vegetables and fruits
while before they only carried from 81
to so baskets, and are returning with
from three to five-ton loads of manure
On the ferry leading to the Philadel
phia markets this year the passage OIL
2,44o teams per day was counted car
rying from three to five tons on eacf
load. Stone roads place the farmers
almost at the door of the consumer
saving many intermediates, all of whom
are forced to have profit. His In
creased loads, the saving in Transports
ton, the dispensing with the commis
sion man, and the delivering of The
produce to the grocer or consumers
doors have resulted in saving to the in
dividual farmer sums ranging from ter
to twenty dollars on each load.

Son. Reason. for Spraying.

A correspondent of the Farmers Re
view recently wrote that he had no
faith in spraying; that if the birds
were protected there would be no need
of spraying. The attention of the cor
respondent should be called to the fact
that the prime reason for spraying, is
to prevent fungus attacks, such as
those producing the apple leaf scab.
Birds can have no effect in checking
troubles Of that kind. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture was first tried in
Bordeaux, France, to keep the boys
from stealing the grapes. The owner
of the vineyard found that it also saved
his grapes from mildew. Now, birds
have no effect on mildew. So it is evil
dent that the preservation of the BIRDS
does not remove the reasons for spray

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS AND fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle,
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called ssTaste-
less chill tones are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect You are
not experimenting when you take Groves Its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Grove'sis the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the

Spraying a. an Investment.

It is about as hard to convince some
orchardists that they should spray az
It is to convince others that they
should insure their houses against fire,
The two acts are in way similar. The
expense may be looked upon in either
case as insurance. The man that
sprays his orchard may never see that
he has escaped disaster. He may never
appreciate the good he receives from
spraying. His enemies are SO small
that he does not see them approach
and perish with the poison that has
been placed in their way. But whether
he sees the results or does not see
them. they are there.-Farmers' Re-
