PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Elmer Mann Loses Finger al Steam
Sawmill in Wells Valley.

Elmer Mann, of Licking Creek
township, met with painful ac-
cident last week one day while
working at MellOtt's sawmlll near
Miles Greenland 5 IN the upper
end of Wells Valley. In some
way Elmer got his hand too near
the rapidly revolving saw, and in
a twinkle, the index finger of his
right hand was terribly lacerated.
The services of Dr. Campbell, of
New Grenada, were now sought,
and that gentleman informed the
unfortunate young man that the
job of saving had not been com
pleted, and that he would have to
saw the balance of the finger off,
and mildly suggested that Elmer
would enjoy the performance
more, if he would permit the Doc
tor to give HIM a little sniff OF
chloroform. AS this was the
first opportunity that Elmer had
had to witness a surgical opera
ton, he politely declined tie Doc
tors proposition, and caid II it
did not make any difference, he
preferred to stay around and see
the job performed. The Doctor
then went ahead, took off the fin
ger, trimmed up the rough edges,
placed on the bandages, and the
young fellow never flinched-in
fact he stood it like Mann.

NEW FORM OF OATH.
What School Board Presidents Must
Swear TO On June I.

On June /, when the presidents
of the different township school
boards take Office, they will be
obliged to subscribe to an oath
different from that of other years.
They must take oath that the
compulsory attendance law has
been complied with; that no teach.
er has been employed at salary
of less than $35 per month, and
that no teacher has been employ
ed for, or had charge of, any OF
the schools of the district during
the year who had not at the time
valid certificate. The old form
of oath did not compel them to
swear that salaries less than $35
per month were paid. Another
feature of the oath that will meet
the appreciation Of Prohibition
lists, especially, is that which re-
quires school board presidents to
qualify that the subject of ply
siology and hygiene, with special
reference to the effects of alco-
holic drinks, stimulants and mar
cotlcs upon the system have been
regula, ly introduced and taught
IN all the schools of the district.

New Trespass Law,

Under a law which has just
been signed by Governor Penny
packer, hunters, fishermen, ber-
ry pickers, and any others who
like to roam through woods and
fields, will be liable to fine of $40
for trespass. The new law gives
the owner of any property the
right to put up trespass signs,
and provides punishment for any
one who enters on the property
when such signs are displayed.
Under the old law the only re-
course left to the owners of land
has been a suit to recover damag-
es from those who trespass on
lands where signs had been post.
ed. Because it was in most cas-
es impossible to collect such dam
ages, trespass notices have not
been very common.
The new law provides that any
person who as much as enters on
land where trespass notices are
prominently displayed, whether
damage Is done or not, Is liable to
be fined, before any alderman or
justice of the peace. The fine
cannot exceed $40 for any one Of
fence and the costs of the prose

NEW GAME LAW.
Shortens Season for all Game Found
In This Section.

IN This Section.
The new game law, which re.
ceived the Governors signature
several days ago, shortens the
open season for all kinds of game
found in this county and limits
to a greater degree than ever, the
killing OF game just for the sport
of killing it.
The new law makes clear what
birds are to be classified as game
birds. Blackbirds are put IN the
class, with partridges.
Those birds which shall here
after be known as game birds
which may be killed at some sea-
son of the year are: Swans, geese,
brant, sea-ducks, rails, coots,
mudhen, shore-birds, plovers,
snlpe, wood-cock, sand -pipers,
tattlers, curlews, wild turkeys,
grouse, prairie chickens, par
tridges, quail doves, wild pigeons,
reed birds and black birds.
The following birds are not
protected by any law and may be
killed when and where the gun
ner can find them /: Blue-jays,
English sparrows, klngtisher,
cooper-hawk, duck hawk, sharp
skinned hawk, goose hawk, pl-
geon-hawk, great horned owl and
1ather crow.
Squirrels-May be killed from
October l to December 1. But
no hunter may kill more than SIX
squirrels IN any one day.
Rabblts-May be killed from
November 1 to December 1. This
shortens the rabbit season fifteen
days. AS many rabbits as can
be killed, the law allows.
Quall-May be killed only from
Z. November 1 to Decem Der 1. Not
more than 10 quail or partridge
may be killed in any one day, or
more than fprty in one week, or
more than seventy-five in a sea.
son by any one man. The shoot.
ing of quail or partridges In a
bunch on the ground is highly
criminal offense and is punish
able by imprisonment and fine
of not more than 800. Quail or
partridges may be caught during
the months of January, February
and March, aud held until the
close of the winter. But they
must not be taken from one local.
ity to another, or they must not
be sold. They must be released
IN the same section in which they
were caught.
Pheasants-English, Mongoll-
an or Chinese or ruffed grouse
may be killed from October Is to
December l. Not more than five
may be killed in any one day, nor
twenty in week, nor forty in a
season.
Wild ducks-May be killed
from September ! to January 1
and from April to April 16 of
each year.
Wood Cock-October to De-
cember 1.
CBlack birds, rail, reed and shore
birds, ETC., September to Janu-
ary 1.
1t is criminal offense to hire
any one to hunt with you for pay,
directly or indirectly.
None of the game birds that
can be killed in this county may
be offered for sale. The penalty
Is 800 fine for each offense. Res.
taurants may handle some kinds
of birds shipped from other
States but they must keep a
strict account of the place bought
at, time shipped and who bought
from and from whom they were
shipped. Wild turkeys may not
be sold or offered for sale whether
killed in or out of this State.
1t would be a good scheme fol
hunters to clip this out and save
it for reference when the season
comes In.

HortIcnltural conventIons-

hope the editor OF The Farmers
Review will permit me 10 say few
words regarding the horticultural con.
ventions especially the summer ones.
which are TO be held In number OF
states during the next few months. |
have attended a good many OF these
summer meetings, and ! can bear Wit.
ness To- their value In these summer
conventions we do not have as much
paper reading or as many discussions
as we do In the annual meetings.
which are held I'm the winter, but we
have the advantage Of n demonstra.
ton OF the actual doing Of things.
AZ the summer conventions one can
90 out into the country and see the
crops growing Usually these conven.
tons are held in some locality where
there is a good object lesson.
/ remember attending a meeting one
summer near a noted peach orchard.
We went 20 the orchard and saw the
beautiful condition in which the
ground was kept. with the weeders
running about all the time. Thinning
OF the peaches was going on al tho
time, and we had an actual demonstra.
ton OF how the work was done. Tint
object lesson was taken home by
many that attended tho convention.
On another occasion / went 10 n
big orchard whore different spraying
machines were being used as a dem.
onstration OF what each machine
could do and how the work should be
done properly. The dust spray was
also used Such object lessons are
worth a multitude OF printed articles
or addresses The eye takes in with
one glance more than a volume could
tell about
Usually at these conventions tho NJ.
tendance Is light, the farmers apnar.
emily feeling that the duties NJ tho
farm keep them az home. But I know
from my own experience that n farm.
