gill YOU share with us the privilege Of in
augurating in Scranton shorter hours for
: business? During the hot months of July
and August shopping in the morning will
help very much. Will you bear this in mind?
Besides, the store service is better then. The
most willing hands become tired by the end
of the week, the clearest heads grow heavy.
1t is, then, not what salespeople would like
to do do, but what they can do.
If Saturday half holiday (Which is vir.
tually full day, from IL noon to $50 p.
M, our usual business hours on Saturday,,
of rest and recreation will bring our people
back on Monday morning to the store fresher
and stronger, We shall be fully repaid for the
day of business we give up each week.
We have closed in this manner now Nor
two years, and so far we have heard no crit
icism of the move, plenty CT endorsement.
Our effort to bring about shorter work.
ing week during the hot months for the thous-
ands of people employed in stores, must soon
bear fruit. Other stores are beginning to
fall in line and it is only question of time
before it will be general. 1t means so little
to the women who shop. 1t means so much,
so very much to those who work.
The women of Scranton can do much by
helping the earlier closing movement 1t
now depends on them. The merchants are
willing. All you have to do is to stop shop
ping at II o'clock noon on Saturday. Is this
a hardship? Would not little thoughtful
ness in planning your days work accomplish
it? And is it not worth while?
Think what it means in the way of SIM
pie pleasure to the women and men who
serve you and supply your needs in the
thousand and one calls you make on them.
In the simple matter of everyday living, just
consider what this small act of thoughtful
consideration from you means. At home at
noon on Saturday: whole day in which
to freshen themselves, to throw off the cares
of the day, to prepare in leisure for any little
festivity they may have on hand.
You, who have all your time at your own
disposal, can hardly realize all that this half
holiday means. But try to imagine yourself
in their place. Picture yourself as going
through their routine for one day. Then you
will know. Cannot we instantly bring about
a general early closing movement by all
stores? What fine thing it would be if
every store were actually deserted of shop
pers at the magic hour of IL noon on Satur-
days during July and August.
Some customers, conversng in the store few days ago
on the Saturday hahoday subject remarked that Con
noIly &, Wallace lead and the others follow
1t matters little who leads in the early closing, the big
thing that store can close nowadays noon on Saturday
and lose none of its business
We are glad that's other stores have decided to close.
because we beieve is the right thing to dotat customers
are much benefited in the better service they receive from
the saespeope the saespeope benefited in physi-
cal and mental way.

FOURTH IN BURLINGTON.
Spend Your Fourth of July in the Queen
City.

Spend Your Fourth of July in the Queen
City.
An old fashioned Fourth-that's what
Burlington offers the people of North
eastern New York and northern Yer.
mont. There is tendency to let the old
enthusiasm for our glorious national day
die out. Burlington proposes to show
that the day can be celebrated in a way
that will revive old memories and old
enthusiasm. Many years have passed
since such a celebration has been held in
this northern country as Burlington pro.
poses to give.
The chief attraction will be furnished
by Uncle Sam. All his troops at Fort
Ethan Allen will give magnificent dress
parade and review. The parade will
consist of six troops of cavalry and t~C
batteries of artillery, making a parade
more than half mile long. This feature
will be unique in Burlington. The
troops can be seen nowhere else. An.
other parade will be given by large
number of business mems floats, the
society of hOrribles, bicycle. automo'
biles, etc. The day will be enlivened by
the music of a number of bands and
there will be fun enough to satisfy every
body.
There is no better place to 60 than to
Burlington for your Fourth of July fun.
The city has attractions enough every
day to induce people to visit it. But this
Fourth will be doubly attractive to all,
because of the big display and the low
rates of fare by boat and by train.

King Albert Dead.

Dresden, SaXony, June l9.-king AL
bert of SaXony died ct S :05 p. III. to-day
ut the Castle of Sibyllenort.
King Albert of SaXony was the last of
the generals who commanded the German
army of 1870. AS his majesty grew older
he shared in the idealization which in
fluenced the group of great statesmen
which surrounded William |. His sober
life produced few incidents and his I'M
obtrusive support of his own church, the
Roman Catholic, never caused conflict
with popular opinion. The vast majority
of inhabitants of SaXOny are Protestants.
Emperor William always referred to
King Albert as fatherly friend. 1t is
understood that the Emperor Will at once
suspend his tour of the Rhine and return
to Berlin to take part in the funeral of the
dead King.
The death of King Albert will certainly
limit the regatta festivities at kiel the
latter part of this month. when it was
purposed TO hold a series of banquets. 1t
is now not regarded probaly that Emper-
or William will attend the kiel regatta.

Keep Up the Milk Flow.

A well-known writer on dairy sub
tects, says: Careful breeding and in
herited excellence may be set at
naught by insufficient or unsuitable
feed, even for brief period. The sue
cessful dairyman will carefully provide
in advance for the feed supply during
every month Of the entire year. Too
frequent provision is made only for the
winter months. The severest test
sometimes comes in midsummer rather
than in midwinter, when the tendency
appears to be to trust to chance and
let the dairy COW take the seasons
feed supply as it comes. The milk sup
ply of the average creamery falls off
more rapidly on pasture in dog days
than in the midst of winter. Milk
yield lost by the herd at any season
of the year can never be fully re-
gained. The entire subsequent yield
during any period of lactation will be
mainly governed by the extent Of the
decline during an unfavo-abIe period.
The dairy cow and likewise the dairy
herd that makes the best yipld must
have no adverse periods at any time.
1t is the evenly sustained yield Sather
than the sudden squirt that determines
the years total.

warming the COW 8to0tOos
The Irish Homestead comments on
the warming Of cow stables as follows:
At meeting Of the Veterinary Med
Teal Association, Mr.. Pottie, who read
a paper on "How to Make the Most
OF a Mich Cow in Winter" laid great
stress on keeping the byre comfortable
and especially in regard to tempera-
ture. He has tried experiments on
the point and found that tempera-
ture Of 63 deg. F. was the proper one
When the temperature was raised to
81 deg. F. the supply OF milk began to
decline. He also discovered that it did
not take long to decrease the yield OF
milk by lowering the temperature, but
it took far longer time to restore the
lost quantity by raising the tempera-
ture again. Mr. Pottie recommends IN
cold weather to stop the doors and ven
tilators, and thus raise the tempera-
ture from the animal heat. To my
mind this system may do well Tor q
time. but we fear the health OF the
animals would ultimately sufter from
breathing air charged with carbonic
acid gas. Although more costly, we
should prefer artificially heating the
byres during very cold weather to try
ing the experiment OF doing 1t with
foul air. On the other hand, in time Oh
cold or stormy weather, there would be
no need for keeping doors. windows or
ventilators as widely open as In times

summ.r so,,inx Crops.


However good the pastures may be,
there are times when they must be
supplemented with forage crops and
grain rations to maintain the dairy
herd in good flow OF milk, and the
poorer the pastures the greater the
necessity. The earliest of the green
forage crops is rye, and it affords
generous supply of good feed although
1t comes at time when the feed sup
ply is usually quite sufficient for the
time being. The use Of rye in the early
spring makes it possible to hold in
reserve larger surplus Of feed Tor
midsummer. 1t can be sown in the
corn fields after the last plowing, ana
in most seasons it will afford a good
supply of green feed after the corn
crop has been secured in the iall. This
practice tends to eradicate weeds and
renovate the soil. First among the
soiling crops for midsummer and early
autumn, I would place sorghum. Its
hardness, vigor and growth, abundant
yield and adaptation to our soil, place
it among the most reliable and profit
able crops Of the farm, regardless OF
drouth or other abnormal climatic
conditions. Any part Of the crop not
needed for summer feeding in the
green state can be cured in the form
Of excellent winter fodder.-C. F.

rea-Growlne In the South.

The production of several kinds of
tea in the United States is now as
sured, and in addition to this it is en-
couraging to note that experts who
have examined the tea produced here
pronounce it equal in flavor and aroma
to the best imported leaves, says the
Independent. The profit in the crop
raised laFt year averages from $50 to
$40 an acre. During the last year large
tea gardens have been conducted near
Summerville, S. c., where the soil
appears to be especially adapted to its

high-grade tea was produced, and a
ready market was found for all OF
it. A machine for the manufacture of
green tea was produced and placed ~

whose conversation was punctuateu

remained in that capacity even after
receiving his freedom. He joined the
Presbyterian church.

The Dairy Pas ture.

The director OF the Iowa Experiment
Station says: The problem as our
lands become more valuable will be
not how to do with less grass, but
how to get more OF it. Pasture lands
may become worn out, or what is
more properly termed. run out" quite
as readily and completely as tillabie
lands. No part of the farm will yield
better returns for careful attention
and good treatment than the pasture.
Some simple experiments conducted in
the Iowa college farm pastures have
furnished striking results in favor Of
pasture culture. The application of
ten quarts of clover seed per acre,
disced and narrowed into blue grass
pasture in the early spring, increased
the yield Is per cent over pastures i'm
mediately adjoining that received no
treatment. Pasture lands thus treated
produce heavier. denser growth. and
better variety Of grasses, and stand
drouth better and the improvement ex-
tends over several seasons. This treat
ment should be alternated with top
dressing applied preferably during the
fall or winter, followed with the har-
row in the spring. The best pastures
are those that are never disturbed by
the pillow.
