ira ton of the lat 'o'EfED MILK PAlL
ter is here given. 1t is an ordinary
milk pail with closely fitting cover,
which has an opening near one side,
into which is soldered funnel four
inches in diameter having a wire
gauze of fine mesh soidered across the
bottom. This funnel extends slightly
above and below the cover and slopes
somewhat toward the side of the pail
Another funnel, which is loose, fits in
side of the first one. When the pail is
to be used a few layers of clean
cheesecloth are placed across the open
ing of the lower funnel and the loose
funnel is pushed in to hold the cheese
cloth in position. The whole appar-
atus is simple in structure and can be
easily cleaned. By the use of the COW
cred pail an average of % per cent of
the total number of bacteria and Al
per cent Of the acid producing bacteria
were excluded from the fresh milk.

Garden Hints.

Study the seed catalogues.
Sow peas as soon as the ground can
be worked.
Now will you be good and test your
seeds?
Cherries and plums should be
among the trees grated earliest.
An earliest green eating onion" is
one Of the new things of 1905.
Trimming time"-the milder days
Of late winter and early spring.
"Prune when the knife is sharp but
never when the wood is frozen.
Lettuce and radish seed can go into
the ground as soon as the surface can
be scratched.
Flowing the garden when the
ground is wet makes bad work. Bet
ter a good job few days delayed.
Farm Notes.
Spring trimmed trees produce the
most suckers.
Wasteful feeding may mean too
much or too little.
Farming is poor business when the
farming is poor.
One way to increase the profits in
farming is to reduce the cost of pro
duction.
The early killed is the easy killed
weed and the weed that robs the crop
the least.
But few plants will thrive In q wet
soil. A good drain is sometimes better
than manure.
1t is the vigor and not the size OF
the seed potato that determines the
size Of the product and the amount OF
the crop.
With the majority of fruits the aim
should be for few fine, large, smooth
and plump specimens rather than fol
many small ones.
Plants to be kept In pots or tubs
and needing more sun, should be giver
a larger size just as the fresh growth
is about to be made. generally early In
the spring.

The Sitting Hen.


Eggs intended for early sitting
should be gathered at least twice a
day and kept where there will be no
danger of chilling. Hens that want
to sit early in the spring are. apt to
be rather unreliable and should be al
lowed to become thoroughly started
over a nest Of china eggs before be-
ing intrusted with valuable sitting.
When a hen really means business,
her skin feels hot and feverish, and
she usually sheds few feathers from
the breast. Early sittngs should not
be more than the hen can very easily
cover, eleven or twelve being better
than a larger number for hens Of
average size. Build up the nest with

HURRY NEARLY COSTS LIFE.
Bank Cashier, Clinging to Car Hand
rails, is Dragged by Train.

BLOOMFIELD, Oct. 21:-Leaping
to board a moving train, Charles Il.
Seibert of Newark avenue, paying
teller of the Greenwich Savings
Bank. New York, came close to death
yesterday. He reached the Laclta-
station at Glenwood avenu
just as the 1856 train was pulling
out.
The train had gained good head
way when Seibert leaped and grasp
cd the handrails at the forward end
OF the smoking car. He swung to
and fro for a moment, but his efforts
to pun himself up failed and his feet
slipped back to the ground. He was
dragged along in the mud and water.
A westbound train hid him from the
view of persons on the station plat
form, and many thought he had been
caught between the trains and
ground TO pieces.
Several ome went into Mysteries.
Two men tried to drag him on board
the train, but could not. Finally
somebody ierked the bell rope and
the train was stopped. Selbert then
got aboard and went to New York.
He was bruised, but not seriously

MARKET STREET EXTENSION GOSSIP
Ladies of the Century Club Informally Offered
Site For New Club House II They Will
Use Influence to Open Market to South

There are some in town who would
Ike to see Market Street opened
through from Commerce Street TO
South Street and the ladies of the
Twentieth Century Club have been
asked to use their influence to bringing
such a movement to a successful issue.
One OF our merchants has offered to
give site for the new Twentieth Cen
tury Club House, on the proposed
street, if the women will have the
work accomplished. This is a tempt
ing offer but whether anything will be-
done is matter of mere conjecture.
The Council would have to condemn
the property through which the street
extension was made. This would be
directly between the property of Mrs.
Mary A. Denney and the Fruit Grow
ers National Bank property across
lands of j. E. DefOrd and others and
would join with South Street between
the residences of F. E. Postles and
John l.. Truax, where now stands the
residence of Mrs NJ E. Diehl. The
latter property too would have to be-
condemned. Properly laid out Mar
ket Street would be pretty little av-
enue extending from Mt. Vernon
Street to South. The new extension
could be made a ine street for resi-
dences which with a modern CenturV
Club Building would be a neat and
valuable addition to the town. Mar
ket Street ought never to have been
laid out as it is, and instead of asquare
long and the shortest street In
town, it could have been made pretty
residence avenue, had our "town faith
ers" given attention to it in the be.
ginning. Whether the offer for club
house site will result in a concerted
movement in the direction of opening
Market Street throug to South cannot
be determined at this time. The sub
ject now is only town gossip.

UNFORTUNATE FIGHT AT TOWNSEND
BaIiff Powell and John Parvis Injured By
Negroes During Fight Saturday Night

There was a serious clash between
the town authorities and a crowd of
negroes at Townsend late Saturday
night, during which three men were
shot and another was beaten into in
senslbility. Town Bailiff Clayton
Powell, who attempted to dispense the
disorderly negroes, was shot twice and
then was beaten and left for dead in
the street, while John Parvis, who
rushed to Powell's assistance, also was
battered into insensibility. George
Caulk and Walter Hopkins, two
negroes, were shot by Bailiff Powell
before he was disabled. The trouble
became serious when Bailiff Powell,
who is the entire police force of the
town, tried to arrest two fighting
negroes who were surrounded by a
crowd. They pounced upon Powell
and in defence he fired four shots from
his revolver at them, hitting Caulk
and Hopkins, both in the leg. The
negroes drew revolvers and razors and
began rush upon Powell, who fed
A bullet struck Powell in the leg
bringing him to the ground. The
negroes then began to kick and beat
Powell into insensibility, and one
seized the bailiff's revolver and fred
at his head. The bullet grazed
Powell's scalp and made him uncon-
scious. The negroes then beset Par
Wis who had gone to Powell's aid, and
kicked and beat HIM into insensibiIity.
The negroes thought both men dead
when they left them PROSTATE in the
street. Residents of the town are in
censed over the affair.

Co. which operates the large basket
and crate mill near the depot, is erect
ing this week large shed 1OOx4O feet
to store their manufactured product
Ever since the mill started up in the
spring the Company has seen the need
for place to store the baskets and
crates which accumulated faster than
they had place to put them. Great
quantities of their manufactured pro-
duct was moved as fast as the orders
were made up, but Notwithstanding
this all the available space was filled
until now the goods must be moved to
make room. So far the Company feels
very much encouraged with what has
been done and despite the fact that
this will be an of fruit year, they will
find sales for nearly ali of their stuff.
Most of the time has been put on
grape baskets, carriers and crates, but
this week they will begin the manu-
facture of peach baskets to supply the
local demand which will be consider
ably less than they had anticipated.
