FARM TELEPHONE LINES.
Hats On How to Obtains Rights %
Way, Erection Of Poles ana
Stringing Of Wires.

A correspondent who is interested
in the construction Of telephone lines
in the country asks few questions
which are of legal rather than q
scientific character. They all relate
to rights of way. The following in.
formation, printed in reply, is supplied
by the president of company whose
business it is to build lines of this char
acter for other people.
When there IS a cluster of houses.
not Incorporated as village, it may
be well to get franchise from the
town authorities. Indeed, the town
alone can give franchise under these
circumstances. The village has no OFF,
Gals. The usual place for setting poles
is at the point where sidewalk Tor foot
PATH adjoins the roadway. There is
! no law on the subject. 1t is custom
that governs. But it never would do to
plant pole in the middle of the high
way, nor, on the other hand. would it
be tolerated in the middle of the foot
path. In cities and villages where
there is line of curbing it is usual to
set poles just inside that line, in the
outer edge of the sidewalk. In the
country the corresponding place is Sc
| lected.
A farmer is supposed to control the
property outside his fence, at least as
/ far as the curb line, and can veto any
scheme to set a~pole there, if he Sc
riously objects. Sometimes construc-
ton company "steals march" on him.
by planting the pole before he can in
terfere. But that is a practice not to
be encouraged. But when the consent
of other property owners in the vicin-
ity has been secured, and only one
man stands out, it is not unusual to
carry the line across the street, put a
pole or two opposite his land, and then
come back again.
If it is desirable to cross another
telegraph line, without touching either
the poles or wires thereof, one may
do so without saying "by your leave"
But when neighborhood wishes to
make use of existing poles, of course
I the owners consent must be secured.
In this case, it would be proper to
write to the president of the company.

CHESTNUT CULTURE.
Methods Employed by . Pennsyl-
wanna Gentleman Who Has
q Grove Of pos Acres,

Coleman X. Sober, of Union county,
Pa, owns the largest chestnut grove
in the United States, says the Phila-
delphia Press. 1t comprises POS
acres, with over 100000 trees. Mr..
Sober is n wealthy lumberman of
Lewisburg, whose object is to render
profitable the millions of acres of
wild mountain land in the common
wealth. When boy of IL he asked
his father, while grating fruits, to
graft some young chestnut trees, but
was only laughed at. Five years ago
he carried out his boyish idea, on
land too rough even for sheep pas
ture, the waste of numbering opera
tons, on the sides of Irish valley,
eight miles from Shamokin. Pine and
oak were cut down q generation ago,
leaving chestnut standing. Cutting
these down, young shoots sprung up
which we're grated with scions of
Paragon, crisp, sweet nut, five
times as large as the native chestnut.
This fall Mr.. Sober harvested his first
crop, 80 bushels, worth 81 bushel,
and in few years his returns will
be by the thousands. In fact, the
estimate for next year is about 5000
bushels, which, at~$6, would be $751;
600, from land not worth So an acre
for farming purposes. Mr.. Sober did
the first grating himself, with lit
tie assistance. The last two seasons
he employed eight grafters for five
weeks, each man averaging 300 trees
day. Ninety per cent. of the CRAFTS
were successful. The groves are pro-
tected on two sides by fire roads,"
and all brush is carefully burned.
Game chickens are kept to prey on
the chestnut weevel, and sheep to
keep the grass down. Mr.. Sober ia
vors transplanting seedlings rather
than planting nuts.

Government Help IL Needed.

The improvement of our country
roads is SO nearly a private matter
that we need not look for govern
ment help. All the taxes raised in
cities for road improvement are ex-
pended within the city limits, so that
the wealth of the cities would be cx-
empt, except through the possible
channel of state or county aid. Thus,
the expense of making hard roads
would fall upon the farm lands and
personal property outside of the
cities. AS the laws now stand there
is nothing to hinder the making Of
good or hard roads wherever the ma
terial is within reasonable distance,
or where we feel like mourning the
necessary outlay of time and money.

what Good Road. viii DO.

Before all things the United States
is an agricultural country. 1t is the
possibility of large returns for labor
in this direction which keeps up the
price of labor in our manufactures
and in all our industries, and thus
brings comfort and ease within the
reach of ALL Good roads, by lessen
ing the cost of agricultural products
form the most effectual means Of
maintaining the condition of comfort
and even luxury of which America is
SO proud.-H. w. Conn, department of

FARMS WITHOUT TREES.
They Look Desolate and Unattract.
I've and DO Not speak Well for
the Owners Enterprise.

Nothing gives farm home such q
bleak and desolate look as lack OF
trees. Then, this year testimony has
coma to this Office from many farm.
ers as to the profit the fruit trees
have yielded, when the grain crops
failed. Trees are the most valuable
part of the makeup of farm, be-
cause they are the product of time.
Money will soon enable farmer to
fence his farm well and erect fine
barn and handsome residence; but
money alone will not give the mag
nificent elm or the fine orchard.
Strange it is that things which cost
the least in actual cash outlay are
what we are most prone to neglect.
It does require good deal of fore
sight Ia most valuable agent to COM
mercial success) to plant slender
whip, and think in the years to come,
one will enjoy its shade when the
tree is towering above all surround
ing buildings and Is the most prom.
inent thing in view. Then, those lit
tie trees in the young orchard seem
years this side of fruitage. We are
prone to think that there is an ele-
ment of selfishness in treeless farms.
The owners think they will not re-
main on the farm until the trees are
of any real benefit or are thing OF
beauty. The orchard will not bear
for years. I'll get no good of it, is
too often the selfish conclusion. The
man who plants trees and who sets
out orchards is q real benefactor and
lives for larger things than merely
what the present offers. Let there
be fewer treeless farm homes

to farmers and Others, referring to
the three classes of people by whom
our county was settled, namely the
Puritans, the Q1akers and the class
who settled the southern states and
referred to by the speaker as "the
Southern Chivalry." During the
lecture a resume was given showing
the work and growth of the Grange
since it's organic alton. The speaker
was introduced in few we'll chosen

Ed Roscoe and Frank Minor of
Cambridge Junction had become tired
Of the staid and quiet ways of that
place and so betnought it good
time to strike out for larger and bet
ter fields. With this thought in mind,
they took the train Monday morning.
So eIated were they concerning their
contemplated change Of life that they
neglected to tell all their friends
goodbye, especially those to whom
they were under financial obligations.
As is generally the case, these latter
friends heard of the sudden and un-
ceremonious departure, and not just
liking thissort of farewell, telephoned
Sheriff Robbins, who intercepted the
Young men and escorted them back
to the Junction, where they were
greeted by their friends. Mr.. Roscoe's
wife came TO his rescue and fixed up
his difficulty and Wash. Smith, large
hearted man that he is, helped Minor
out of his troubles. At present both
men are still at the Junction, but
have not lost that desire to see more
of the world and may again start
out, but it is said that they will say
farewell to all of their friends before
they again depart,
