Gas Took a As Minute
Vacation.
Officials Do Not Know the Cause Of
the Break.

the Break.
Citizens of Akron who are dependent
upon natural gas got a taste of the
"old way" Monday morning.
For about As minutes at the break.
fast hour the gas was off and many
people hurriedly dressed In cold room
and scrambled down town BY the
time they had done all this the gas
was on again. 1t was pure case Of
Finnegan's "off again, ON again." and
no one is any the wiser for the break
in the supply.
Mr.. l.. b. Terry, the local manager
of the company, informed the Demo.
crat Monday that he could not explain
plain the trouble. ",rhe delay In the
dow was due TO some hitch outside Of
Akron" said Mr.. Terry. 'rhe pipes
in the city were all right and some
parts of the city wer not affected
The gas came on as suddenly as 1t left
us, so there was no sign of any freez-
ing in the pipes. We have men along
the line, now, trying to locate the diff
hculty. All know is that the supply
is ample and everything is In good
shape"

Tapping MapIe Trre..

Theoretically the tapping OF normal
maple trees does not noticeably reducc
their vitality or interfere with their
growth. But the fact that many maple
trees have died after being ravagetf two
or three seasons by caterpiIlars shows
that their vitality must be reduced by
the work of the insects. says NJ v.
SIingerland In Rural New Yorker And
in case the trees do not put out Wig
orous second leafage q, in the fall, it
would seem wise not TO tap them in
the spring. The drouth was so great
in many sections during the past sum
mer that doubtless many of the trees
which were defoliated by the caterpil-
lars were unable to develop full sec
ond crop of leaves. In brief, then, II
would seem best not to tap the trees
which put out a scanty crop of leaves.
and one should at least hesitate before
tapping trees which did put out very
vigorous crop. And yet 1t is doubtful
II In either case the tapping OF the
trees would noticeably hasten the
death of the trees. The amount of sap
obtained from such trees next spring
would probably be less, and possibly
of n different quality. from that OBJ
tanned from normal trees which had
not suffered from the caterpillars.

uor,,su,,.ra, Observations.

A gentleman last week called at the
office of the Farmers Review asking
what should be done with n cherry or
.hnrd that had become infested with
black-knots. The farm on which Is the
cherry orchard mentioned is in Penn
syiyania and the owner has. been west
Tor fifteen years. During that time he
has rented the farm and the orchard.
He now finds that his orchard is n
mass of black-knots. The advice was
given him to cut down the orchard and
burn all, and not to put either n plum
Or cherry orchard on its old site. Even
ground under such an orchard be-
comes dangerous as producer OF
spores from fallen parts of the knots.
The fate Of this orchard illustrates
the result OF ignorance in handling
such orchards or in fact any orchard
or farm crop. Had the ones that
rented the place known or understood
The nature OF blackknot, 1t could have
been stopped in its first stage. The
knots need never have been allowed to
ripen and become sources OF the pro-
1uction OF new spores. These knots
and the limbs with them on should
have been removed with care and
buraed. Fortunately law has Just
seen passed in Pennsylvania that COM
pels owners of such orchards to re-
move trees badly infested with black
knot and to cut on and burn limbs
with black knots on them. 1t seems
f. nity that It should be necessary to
oass such, and they are an index of the
ignorance of the people, but II men
will not of themselves remove such
.enters of contagion, the law must
come in and do its part, till such time
"a we become more fully civilized.

The tile drain iu its perfection did
not come at once. II Is the result OF
gradual development-we might say
OF evolution, Man hrst attempted to
drain vet land by throwing stones
into ditch. covering them with
branches OF trees and fassots. and
covering that combination with dirt
This method was evidently used ex'
'ensiyeiy and for q long period. In
time some smart fellow found that
three poles laid together would give
a fairly good draia. as they .eft
space In the center. They had only
to be covered with grasses TO keep out
the dirt. and required but small
ditch for their reception. One wonders
II there was no, good deal OF trouble
about Joining the ends. Some one i'm
proved on this method by making the
hole In the middle greater. This was
done by splitting the three poles and
having the split sides touch each other
At the edges, forming triangle. After
that men got TO laying two parallel
walls of stone and co, erins them with
Hat rocks. We may be sure that these
stone drains wer. at nrst small. for
u has taken men long time to md
out that drains should DO OF good size.
These stone drains are still extensive
ly constructed In countries where
stones arr plentiful. even In our own
New England states. Tho nrst tilo
drains were primitive. Tho tiles were
made like an inverted U. and were
placed on the smooth mud. having no
other bottom. The edges OF the tiles
were prcssed into III. mud. and tho
whole drain thus easily became un-
even. II is no wonder. then. that the
next step was TO make u tile with q
fiat bottom.

To Sell Animals.

Buyers of animals are to a very
large extent Influenced by their first
Impressions. This may not be strictly
true of the professional horse buyers,
but most of our horses and other anil
mails are sold to men that are not pro-
fessional buyers. So much does the
appearance influence buyers that the
professional horse buyers make a point
of picking up poor looking but val
liable animals and putting them in
shape to bring the most money. Some
times a few hundred weight OF corn
put onto a horse has brought a buy
er that made the operation exceeding
ly profitable. There is no reason why
the farmer should not make a special
effort to put his sale stock in extra
fine condition. A clean stable and in
viting surroundings have decided in
fluence in blasting the opinion of the
wouldbe purchaser. If horse Is to
be sold time spent in grooming him till
his coat shines will be time well spent.
The fat that the farmer can put on
his ribs will be sold at fancy price.
The same applies with equal force to
cattle. and the well-fed, well-carded
animal. kept in clean. airy stable will
sell for an advance over the good ami
NAL thai ia not so cared for.

ra,ss.m,,, of v.al, Packages.

Al the recent convention OF Wis
consin horticulturists the question OF
NUT packages was discussed. Some
OF the members were In favor OF a law
establishing a uniform berry pack
age. making tho quart of a certain
airc and every other package TO cor
respond. II was pointed out that at
the present time there Is good deal
OF variation In tho boxes. the number
of cubic inches In some being much
less than the rules Of measures would
indicate. Other members. however.
opposed any legislation on tho matter.
asserting that uniform berry pack
a.c would place tho berry producers
at n disadvantage. There are. IL IL
true. two sides TO the question. We
fall. however. TO sec how the berry
producer can be injured by having a
legal package unless he be In the
habit OF sending to markc; pack
ages containing less fruit than they
are marked TO contain. We have
noticed In the Chicago market that
the quart boxes vary considerably
In cubic contents. but the variation IN
noticeable only when boxes of differ.
ent sizes are compared. a decided
variation is often noticeable In tho
baskets that are supposed to contain
eight pounds of grapes While We are
In doubt whether 1t Is desirable to
have uniform package. we be-
liere that every package should be
marked as to the quantity OF fruit It
contains and that giving short weight
or measure should be punishable by
fine or otherwise.

W0BRLING AGAIN.

President Mckinley, who alone OF
ALI the heads of governments of the
creat movers has chosen the present
critical moment in China TO leave the
canitol and 90 on vacation, is said to
have become convinced over the long
distance phone that he made mis-
take in superceding and Furnishing Ad-
miral Kenpff for refusing TO join in
the demand of the powers for the sur
render of the Taku forts, thus driving
the Chinese army into the arms OF the
Boxers and bringing about the peril
and probable destruction OF the minis
tiers. In any event, it is entirely GER
tain that the president is once more

far or not far enough in the Chinese

Badness and MatrimonY.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The Philadelphia Medical Journal
says that DR.. g. T. Jackson has found
on study of 300 cases Of loss of hair
that badness prevails most with IN
married men-which is contrary TO
the general belief The worries of
the bachelor may be fewer, but they
are more trying to the scalp than are
the multitudinoUs cases of the man OF
family. Most bald people are found to
live indoor lives. and almost all OF
them belong to the Intellectual class.
Usually the loss of hair begins about
the thirtieth year. In woman it US
ually constitutes general thinning;
in men it affects the top OF the head.
Diseases that affect the general nutri-
ton Of the body are likely to thin the
hair. Heredity is factor. If one has
bald-headed ancestors all the drugs of
the pharmacopoeia will not bring out
flowing locks. The learned doctor
does not tell Us why the front seat at
the theater and badness are so init
mately connected.

ROBBED IN HIS OWN HOUSE.
A Dougherty county Outlaw Carries Off the
Blue Ribbon.

From tie Albany Herald.
Sampson Killings, well TODD negro
farmer living on the Gaissert place,
six miles east OF Albany, came to town
early this morning with a face as long
as one Of the ears of his big black
mule and tale of woe to match.
SIMPSONS story is interesting, and
does not lack features that are decid-
ely humorous.
He lives alone on the Gaissert place.
Last night between 10 and IL o'clock,
while he was in bed and asleep, an in
truder boldly forced an entrance, made
a light and babe the sleeper to awake.
At the point of an ugly looking pistol
he then forced his victim to reveal the
Whereabouts of his cash box, which
contained $12. That sum was prompt
ly appropriated.
The acquisition of SIMPSONS spare
cash did not, however, crafty the rob-
ber's appetite for plumber. Still keep
ing Sampson covered with the menac-
ing revolver, he hunted for and found
the latter's most cherished garment
his Sunday trousers. With aggravat-
ing elaboration he proceeded to try
them on, meanwhile laying the pistol
on a convenient table SO as to have
free use of his hands.
