Advises Farmers to Oppose It.

ment, gives the appended important
Information relative to the value OF the
dairy interests OF Pennsylvania
"The latest figures obtainable show
that the farm value Of dairy products
In Pennsylvania are exceeded by but
one state In the Union, aggregating
s35, $3.50, 1000 per annum, and that, ac-
cording to the last census there were
$500 farms in Pennsylvania which
derived their principal income from
the dairy. In 1900 the State had
9i3, ,773 dairy cows, and these produced
4S7 ,033, sls gallons OF milk in one year.
The total number of farms in the State,
as reported by the last census, is 224, 24S,
and the number reporting dairy pro-
ducts was 2O0,036, with total valua-
tion of $50, $50, ,6S6. The butter made
on l59,S57 of these farms aggregated
74,22l,0 ,0s5 pounds, OF which amount
81 1903, 1913 pounds were sold by the
producers"
In view of the magnitude of the
interests threatened, and the desire Of
the Commonwealth OF Pennsylvania to
foster and protect the same, the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture and Dairy and Food
Commissioner, with the consent OF the
Governor, respectfully and earnestly
urge all oranges, farmers alliances and
kindred organizations, as well as dairy
men and farmers, generally, to write to
the Hon. Boies Penrose, and Hon. T..
! G. Knox. United States Senators,
Washington, ID. c., and to their re-
spective members Of Congress from
| Pennsylvania, urging them to work and
vote against the repeal OF the aforesaid
"Grout BILL" and to assist In thwarting
the efforts of any and all persons who
may endeavor TO overthrow law, the
policy OF which has been determined
and which has proven by experience to
repealed it would not only seriously
affect the welfare OF every producer OF
butter, bnt it will also open the way for
the general sale OF substitutes for dairy
products, to the injury OF the consumer
who may be misled by such substitu-
tions, and fail to secure from the mark
cts the articles he desires to place upon
his own table.

To whom it may concern.
Information has reached the Secre-
tary OF Agriculture and the Dairy and
Food Commissioner of this Common
wealth to the effect that the oleo-
margarine interests of the United
States have formulated plans to combine
and make determined effort TO secure
the repeal of the bill, passed by Con-
gress in 1902, known as the "Grout
Bill" which places tax of ten cents a
pound on colored oleomargarine.
Manufacturers Of and dealers in oleo-
margarine are endeavoring TO form a
solid organization, including In its
membership every manufacturer and
dealer in oleomargarine in the United
States. In the circular letter which Is
being spread broadcast, those who are
in charge Of the opposition to the law
referred to, present their side of the
subject in the following language
ITO secure the repeal of this law a
large fund will be necessary. The first
duty of the Association is to raise the
fund and then work with IL for the re-
peal of the tax on oleomargarine. 1t Is
absolutely necessary that oleomargarine
dealers throughout the United States
contribute, In order that this law may
be repealed Their existence depends
upon the repeal OF the law. A contri-
button Of S25 entities dealer to mem
bership. Every dealer in the country
should join the Association and send
the S25 membership fee to the secre-
tary. Let every dealer that can pos
sibly afford TO join the Association send
his 1926 TO Mr.. Russell. IT, however, the
dealer feels that he cannot afford that
amount Of money, let him send what he
can afford, the largest possible amount
that he can spare, for there is no danger
OF obtaining too large fund. Do not
delay In this matter The raising Of
the fund Is the most important step.
Without it nothing can be done, and
unless the fund is obtained in very
short time, it will be impossible to re-
peal the law at the coming session Of
Congress. Haste is necessary. Don't
wait to see what your neighbor intends
to do. Do what you can afford YOURSELF
and do it now. If everybody delays, it
will not be possible to have the law re-
pealed, and oleomargarine dealers will
have to go out of business"

She Was Doing Her best.

Genuine Scotch canniness shines
through this story which the Philadel-
phla Ledger publishes: "a widow one
day in spring was seen by the clerk OF
her parish crossing the churchyard
with watering pot and bundle,
"Ah, Mistress Mactavish," said tile
clerk, whats yer business WI sic like
gear as that y'are carryin'?" "Ah,
weel, Mr. Maclachlan," replied tie
widow, I'm just goin' to my guide
mans grave. I've got some hay seeds
in my bundle, which I'm going to SOW
upon it, and the water in the can is
just TO gle 'em spring like" "The

Joined the clerk. They'll spring fine
ly themselves" '"That may well be-"
replied the widow, but ye dinna ken
that my gudeman, as lay a-deeing, just
got Inc TO promise that I'd never marry
again till the grass had grown above
his grave. And as I've had q good
offer made me but yestreen, ye see,

SIZE OF AN ATOM.
IN illustration That Gives some Ides
of Its Littleness.


How large Is an atom? "Perhaps tile
simplest though not the most exact
way of arriving Mt a rough estimate Of
the size OF atoms Is by measuring the
thickness OF a soap bubble film where
II is as thin as possible just before 1t
bursts" says a writer. "Such film II
composed of atoms must be something
like pebble wall. Now, pebble wall
would not stand II II were not several
pebbles thick, and II we had reason to
suppose that II was about dozen peb-
bles thick we could easily make an es-
innate Of the size Of pebble by meas
uring the thickness of the wall. Thnt
is the case with the thlnnest region of
soap film. II IL found to have very
definite uniform thickness. II is the
thinnest thing known, and by refined
optical means It's thickness can be ac.
curntely measured. II must contain
not less than something like dozen
atoms In It's thickness, and yet II Is
only about the twenty-millionth of an
inch In thickness by direct measure
ment. SO that the diameter of an atom
comes out between one two-hundredth-
milllonth of an inch. In other words
from about 2O0,OOO0OO TO 3OOOO0,OOC
of atoms can lie edge to edge In a
linear inch"

A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
The JelIy-lilxe Amoeba Has Neither
Limbs, Mouth Nor stomach.

The amoeba. probably the simplest
form of animal life, has neither limbs,
mouth, nor stomach. Its whole annto-
my consists Of a simple cell Of the Jel-
ly-like material called protopiasm. II
moves with flowing motion. just as a
drop Of glycerin might slide on slight
ly inclined plate.
1t feeds by flowing over and ingulf-
ing and minute animal or vegetable
organism that may be In Its path.
When it has digested its food 1t passes
on and leaves the residue behind.
The amoeba can be found on the sur
face Of the mud at the bottom Of al
most any stagnant pool and is hardly
visible without a microscope. 1t re-
produces its kind by simply dividing
into two when 1t has reached a certain
size. Occasionally two amoeba merge
into one. which breaks up into many
much smaller ones. In times of drought
the amoeba incloses itself In hard
cyst and waits until its home is wet
again.

BLADES OF GRASS.
The Reason They Grow So Abundant
Iy Throughout the World.

~ IhrOushout tne Woriu.
Grasses are widely diffused through
out the world In order to provide
abundantly for the sustenance Of a
very large portion of the animal king
dom.
Grasses" says Paley, ARE natures
care. Cattle feed upon their leaves,
birds upon their smaller seeds, men
upon the larger, for our bread corn Is a
grass. They thrive under treatment
by which other plants are destroyed.
The more their, leaves are consumed
the more their roots increase, and the
more they are trampled upon the thick
er they grow. Many that seem dead
and dry renew their verdure In the
spring. On lofty mountains, where
summer heats are not sufficient to
ripen the seeds, grasses abound which
are vlviparous and consequently able
to propagate themselves without
seed"
1t is interesting to note In this con-
nection TINT animals at liberty in their
pasture to range and choose attack the
leaves and leave unharmed the stalks
which support the reproductive how-
