Close Season for Game.

The killing OF deer and the catching
OF trout Of all species ceases on the first
OF November. 1t is the opening day OF
the close season, and those who persist
in continuing the sport may figure on
the extreme penalty Of the law in the
event they are caught, No moro deer
can be killed until the 18th OF next
July, and those who have not already
had taste OF venison will have to get
along without it until the law gives
them another opening.
Trout OF all species are protected from
now on until the lst OF next April.
This ban extends to salmon trout, as
well as all other species. There are fish
ermen who have an idea that the law
does not apply to salmon trout, but the
act OF the legislature is plain on this
matter, and salmon trout are given the
same protection as all other species.
Sportsmen, however, still have various
kinds OF game to fall back upon. Quail
can be shot until the 18th oI this month,
aud pheasants, grouse and prairie chick
ens until December |. Jacksnipe can
be shot until February. and ducks, geese
and swan until the 10th OF next March.

Great Dairy Industry.

DR.. James Withycomb, yice.director
of the Oregon Agriculture Experiment
Station. is now in the east observing the
work of the experiment stations and
the methods and results OF various
agricultural operations, particularly
dsirying. In letter from Chicago,
under the date OF October 25. he writes
as follows, to General Frei9ht and
Passenger Agent Markham, OF the
Southern Pacific, who is taking a deep
interest in The development OF the dairy.
ing industry oil western Oregon:
Perhaps few facts relating to the
status of dairying in Wisconsin, Mime.
sofa and Iowa, obtained from personal
observation and from those engaged IN
the industry, may be of interest to you.
During the past month l have had
the pleasure Of making tour Of the
experimental stations and some OF the
principal dairying sections OF the states
mentioned. The trip has been full Of
interest to me and affords ample oppor-
tunity for study OF the methods en-
ployed in dairy husbandry and the
various details connected Herewith.
Conditions are quite favorable for dairy.
ing in these states, although no more
so than they are in Oregon. The rich
soil and the splendid water furnished by
the almost innumerable lakes Of Wis
cousin and Minnesota contributed ma
terially toward making these sections
desirable ones for dairying. These lakes
are more or less deeply iringed with
rich grazing land, well sodded with blue
grass, making almost ideal COW pastures
IN the spring and fall. But our COM
paratively short winters and the abun.
dant crops Of valuable protein. giving
plants we can grow more than Offset the
advantages posse essed by these states for
successful dairying.
"A visit to the dairying sections OF
these states cannot fail to impress one
favorably, as the ear.marks OF prosperity
are in evidence on every hand. To
illustrate this point, perhaps, statistics
obtained in Jefferson county. Wisconsin,
will beet serve my purpose. This count
has a population Of about 10000 people,
and there are 10000 cows kept in thu
county, yielding an annual revenue from
skim.milk. butter and cheese Of $1,000
600, Before the advent OF dairyinp
there, grain growingllwas the principal
agricultural industry. During this
period the average crop OF wheat dropped
to about eight bushels per acre and 60
per cent Of the farms were mortgaged.
Since the introduction Of dairying the
average yield OF wheat has been brought
up to 22 bushels per acre and the farmers
have s2,O0o,OO0 deposited to their credit
In the banks Of the county. The
phenomenal growth Of the industry in
this county is largely due to the personal
efforts OF Ex-Governor Hoard and to the
influence Of his spendid paper, Hoo rd's
Dniryman.
After investigating the dairying In.
dustry here my convictions are ma.
terially strengthened in the fact that the

state, probably more especially so in

Apples s Valuable.

Oregon apples will be worth SO per

Portland Telegram.
Colonel IL. L. Dosch, secretary Of the
state board Of horticulture, who closely
follows the market, bases such an asser.
tion upon the big jump Of prices Of
apples In the New York market.
Baldwin apples have advanced from
tl.50 a barrel to $3.50; Kings, from the
same price to 81 80 and 50 q barrel !;
York Imperials, from $3.50 TO "a a
barrel. Red table apples will bring in
New YORK over these prices an advance
OF 20 and 30 cents barrel.
As soon as these facts become known,
Oregon apples will naturally raise a
notch In prices, because the local
market is alphabetically affected by
the New York quotations. Colonel
Dosch advises growers not TO be In too

what is now Lackawanna county,
November IS, 1892. He came to
Bloomsbarg when young man, and
was employed as book-keeper at Iron
dale by the Bloomsburg Iron Com
pany for about forty years. He was
almost the last of those who were en-
ployed at the store Of that company.
Josiah Ralston who was foreman of
the casting house, and Joshua Fetter-
man who had charge of the canal
wharves, are about the only survivors
OF the employees of that company.
MIR. Drlnker served in the army dur
ing the rebellion. He was married to
Mary Chamberlin in 1864, and four
children were born to them. Mrs.
Ernest N. Perrin deceased; Mrs. w.
P. Meigs of Bloomsburg; William w.
and Francis p. Drinker of Scranton.
The funeral took place on Saturday
morning, services being conducted by
Rev. DIR. Hemingway in the absence
of Rev. d. N. Kirkby. The remains
were taken to Scranton for burial in
the family lot.
Mrs. Drinker died a few months
ago, and since then he had been iiv.
ing with his son-in.law, w. P. Melgs
He was elected President of the Town
Council two or three years in success
sion, and has since been known a:
Mayor Drlnker. He was fond of lit
erature, and had read extensively. Ir
his earlier years he wrote excel.en
poetry, and could quote and recite by
the hour. Since his retirement from
Irondale he has led retired life.

An Odd Funeral.

A funeral, devoid of all solemnity,
took place in this town on Tuesday
morning, when two foreigners, proba-
bly, Hungarians, arrived on the Blooms
burg & Sullivan train from Jamison
City. They got off the train at the
D. L. & w. Station, and proceeded
up Market street, carrying between
them an ordinary looking box of pine,
containing the remains of an infant
child, whose death had occurred the
day previous. Leaving their dead
burden on the curb, at the corner of
Market and Main streets, they pro.
ceeded up the latter thoroughfare in
quest of the Catholic priest. They
returned in few minutes, picked up
the box, and continued their march
to St. Columba's Church, talking VOC
iferiously to each other in their native
language.
To Father Barr they gave their
names as Jan. Ostafiz and Antonio
Ruff. The former was the child's
father, and he brought the remains
here in order that the rules Of the
church might be complied with. The
arrangements were made and the in
fant was given resting place in the
Catholic plot in Rosemont cemetery

have had plenty of rain all season.
Crops are fine with the exception of
wheat, which as general crop is very
poor. West Of me a mile is streak
of country that is having an extra
yield. some as high as 3S bushels to
the acre. Oats big straw and is yield.
ing light although some extra good, as
high as SO bushel per acre. Corn
good but not as good as the last year.
Our corner of the country is making
big improvements in the way of build
ings, fences and the clearing up and
cleaning new land.
Our town of Weston improves.
There has been within the past two
years some fine brick business blocks
put up. The town is lighted with
electricity. We have two rural mail
routes out of the town and the third
under way. Our post master gets
$Isoo per year, and each carrier gets
$500. There is not much excitement
IN polstlcs as yet.
We are having quite a boom in
land, great deal changing hands at
good prices, several of my nelghbors
have sold at $500 per acre with fair
improvements. l have been offered
$40 for mine. now have all under
cultivation but 8 acres, enclosed on
the north and west with a new wire

Knocked From Tree by a Live Wire.
Lineman kesty Narrowly Escaped Being Ser
iousiy Injured.

w. M. Kesty Of Bloomsburg, line
man in the employ of the Montour &
Columbia Telephone Company, re-
ceived a severe shock from an electric
light wire Friday afternoon and came
very near being seriously injured.
Kesty, in company with another
lineman, was engaged in trimming
shade trees on Lower Mulberry street,
which interfere with the company's
wires. He had climbed tree tor the
purpose of cutting off some of its
boughs. A number of smaller branch
es were resting on the wires and Kesty
reached out with his pincers to push
them away
The pincers accidentally came in
contact with the wires and the line
man received a shock, which rendered
him unconscious and he fell from the
tree to the pavement a distance OF
over twelve feet.-Danville NewS.
