A SWEET SCENTED LOCALITY.

If any citizen is riding, walking or
driving out on the WaynesbOro road
along by the grounds of the Western
State Hospital, be will cross a small
stone bridge about $50 yards beyond
the stone arch bridge of the G. & O.
r. r Under this little country road
bridge, a small stream flows which a
little further on passes through an
arched culvert beneath the G. & o. Ry.
We have said small stream flows.
This is mistake, it does not flow.
The stream would flow if 1t could but
it cannot. The stream is dead, it has
been overcome by it's own noxiOus and
putrid vapors.
The like of the fOulness that is piled
in one short hundred yards in that
stream cannot be duplicated in Amer.
| lea. Wedo not ask anybody to go and
look at it. We advise our officials, es
pecially, not to risk their valuable
lives by going near it. Their places
could not be filled and they should not
take chances. But if there is anybody
who will risk his life out of natura
curiosity, he should venture to TAXI
one long, lingering look. We have dom
so and fled 1.-THE hideous scene" Fevers
and pestilences are there thicker thai

Iron horses of the G. y o. do not have

it is the very worst that ever cam
down the pike. Somebody should b.
fined for not looking after this horri

The farmer along the northern part
Of the United States bordering on
Canada, can go over into Canada, buy
an Oliver Chilled Plow, pay the duty
Oh it, and bring it home to his farm,
cheaper than he can buy one from his
local dealer. This is only one item of
the kind, there are thousands of others.
The human mind which can evolve
good out of laws which permit this rob
berry of our people, must be diseased,
or the person with such mind must be
one of the robbers. This is glorious

EXTEND THE CRANBERRY
MARKET,

Publicity and advertising are the
bu&ness heralds of today, and unless
those agents are employed contin-
uously one might just as well quit
business or take seat away back
where progress is unknown.
Apply publicity and advertising to
our industry by teaching the people
that cranberries make the best sauce
and how it's made, and our business
ceases to be one-sided and the outlet
question is solved.
The late o. M. Holmes told me that
he had increased the consumption
two hundred per cent, with one re-
cipe. Benjamin Caheon of Marshfield
says he has an order for one barrel
of berries to go to Florida. Mr.. Ca
hoons customers began a few years
ago with half bushel. Mrs. Cahoon
taught them how to cook good cram
berry sauce-a revelation to them
result, FIVE hundred per cent. increase.
Let that fact play for moment with
your imagination and imagine what
such an INCREASE, if extended the
country over. would mean.-F. D. I'm

A Newly Found Egyptian Temple,

The officials of the Egypt Explora,
ton Fund have discovered within the
past few months a temple much older
than any previous one known. at
Thebes. 1t is the mortuary chapel of
King Mentuhetep Neb-Khern-ra, of the
eleventh dynasty, and dates from at
least $500 B. C. Near Cairo pyra
mid temple dating from the fifth dy-
nasty, has been discovered, but in
very bad repair. The newly found
temple, however, is in remarkably
coed state of preservation. and has al
ready yielded results of importance to
our knowledge of Egyptian art and
architecture. and is expected TO throw
light on various historical problems
still unsolved.

watches prevented their finding a
place in the pocket. When was the
fob first used in the dress of man?
The German of fob is 'fuppe." and it
is believed that It come from England
through the Puritans, whose dislike
for display may have induced them
to conceal their timepieces from the
public gaze" This conjecture 10
strengthened by the fact that a short

Oliver C-omwell's in the British Mu-
scum is. in point of date. the first APP
pendage of the kind known. The
watch is a small oval one in a silver
case. and was made about 1.626 by
John MidnAll, of Fleet street.

CARING FOR MANURE.

! The ideal way of caring for manure,
says Rural New Yorker, is to keep it
under a covered shed and over a &C.
ment floor, so that no extra water
can leach through it. The loss by
teaching will run all the way from
Is to so per cent. of fertilizing value,
depending upon the ease with which
the water washes through the pile.
There is more or less drainage
through any soil, though the hard
clays will hold most of the liquid. A
floor of concrete under the manure
will pay for itself. We should put
some roof over the manure in order to
regulate the supply of moisture.
Where COW and horse manures are
mixed you are not likely to be trou-
bled with heating or firefanging> as
you would be if the horse manure
were kept alone. 1t is sometimes nee
essary to put water on the pile to pre-
vent this heating. II this is done
keep the pile in the form of dish
or saucer. followed at the center.
Where the liquids are well absorbed
and COW and horse manure are mixed
1t Is not often necessary to add water.
Have thhe manure stamped orpacked
down. 1t is good plan to put the
horse manure in the gutter behind the
COWS before it is thrown on the pie.

liquids which might otherwise be
wasted. 1t win be good plan to

The First Watches.

There is uncertainty as to when
the portable watch. as we understand
it today, came into use. 1t was pro-.
badly at the close of the sixteenth
century. Queen Elizabeth owned
large number of watches. Mary
Queen of Scots was the possessor OF
a skull-shaped watch. In fact, the
deaths head" pattern was at that
time much in vogue. Endless were
the styles, for there were watches
shaped like books, pears. butterflies
and tulips. The Nuremberg egg was
a special shape. and was first made
in 1000. Those queer shapes OF

In general the fuel, where wood is
used, should have been properly hous-

sufficient material left from the re-

ADVANTAGES OF MULE RAISING.

good treatment. This is point that
has made them popular in the South,
where their drivers are not always
mindful of their feelings. There is
always a good market demand for
mules, and as they can be sold two
years younger than horses, they are
profitable, and would be profitable
even at a lower price.

GOOD RULES FOR MILK FARMERS

Salt should always be accessible.
Stables should be well ventilated,
lighted and drained; should have
tight floors and walks, and be plainly
constructed. Whitewash the stables
once or twice a year. Do not compel
cows to go faster than comfortable
walk.
Do not use wooden pals. Discard
all rusty pals, cans or stirring uten-
sils. Whey should be emptied as
soon as it arrives at the farm. Milk
a brush and lukewarm water, in which
a little sal soda has been dissolved,
then scalded and placed on their
sides in the sun. Scour with salt oc-
casionally. Do not use cloth to
either wash or wipe utensils. Always
wipe cows udders, TANKS and teats
before milking. Milk with clean and
dry hands. Milk quietly, quickly,
A person suffering from any dis
ease, or who has been exposed to a
contagious disease, should remain
away from cows and milk.
Milk should always be strained and
cooled by dipping, stirring and sur
rounding by cold water Immediately
after milking. 1t should always be
aired where the air is pure-at least
fifty feet Cor more if possible) from
any swill barrel, hog pen, hog yard,
feed trough, barn yard, milking yard,
or dusty road.
Two or three thicknesses of cheese
cloth make good strainer. Cloth
strainers should always be thoroughly
washed, then boiled and hung in a
pure atmosphere to dry.
Never dump warm milk into can
and leave it over night without strain
ing, aerating and cooling. Never mix
fresh, warm milk with that which has
been cooled.
Over-ripe milk is caudse bl leaving
or keeping it at too high tempera-
ture.
In warm weather the milk should
be cooled by setting the pals or cans
in cold water while it is being aerat-
ed. Cool to IS per cent. inside of half
an hour.
Saturday nights and Sunday morn
ing's milk should be cooled to 60 per
cent, or less, set in cool cellar, COW
cred with clean robe or blanket,
and not disturbed until Monday
morning
Whenever the lid is left of can
for any length of time, cloth or mos
quito netting should be used to keep
out insects.

dark gray; in summer it is red and in
poor condition. Another important
center of the fur trade is the district
of the Lower Amur, valuable sables
coming even from southern Manchu-
ria; 10000 skins were sold annually
at Khabarofka some quarter of cen
fury ago. Time is ircnical in the
changes it brings; the coat of skins,
tho sole covering of primeval man
when he first wandered away from
climates where clothing was needless,
has become the decoration of rank
and the luxury of the wealthy. In
early days warmth and size would be
chiefly valued; the sable and the err
mine probably were classed with the
rabbit skin of the nursery ryhme, to
wrap Baby Bunting in" And the
same irony is seen in the furs them
selves. The ermine, once reserved
for royalty, is only the homely .stoat,
execrated by the gamekeeper, which
in arctic climates, either for protec-
tive CIR predacious purposes, has turn
ed white, all but the tip of its tail.
The blue and other foxes, whose skins
fetch so high price, are either iden-
teal with or closely allied to the ia
miliar Reynard, while the sable. whose
skins very few years ago were some
times worth from e2 to 25, even in
Kahbarofka and Yakutsk, and in
eases of rare excellence have realized
ten times that sum. Is so close a rela-
ton to the pine marten of Europe that
