Hurdle for Driving Hogs.-In driving
hogs from one lot to another, or Wnen
loading them in a wagon, hurdle
made of few Ike inch Stats Will take
the place of two or three men. 1t
should be made light, so that 1t VIII
he easily carried, and should not be
over 4 or feet long; 80 inches will
he high enough l generally handle all
IF nv hogs alone. An old boar is liza
ble TO get cross, and a hurdle will pre-
vent him from striking you. You can
walk close to a hog if you hold the
hurdle in front of you.-W. P. Doo-
little.
To Mend Rubber Shoes.-When rub
her overshoes are but little worn 1t
often happens that breaks come on the
sides, causing them to leak. | mend
these places by taking piece OF denim
or other strong cloth and having some
good glue ready; spread upon the cloth
while warm, and put inside the shoe
where the break occurs. Press firmly
with the hand until the glue sets. This
patch will keep out water and wear a
long time. When the upper edge OF
the shoe is torn, strengthen it by sew
ing loosely on the inside of top OF
shoe a piece of black elastic braid one
half inch wide and the shoe will not
tear when put on.-Mrs. E. N. M.
Grating Trees.-Every farmer should
learn to graft his own trees. Eight
years ago 1 ordered from a reliable
nursery some apple trees of an early
variety which was anxious for. The
result is that after eight years OF
special care with the trees it is my
regret to find out that they are late,
inferior variety. Had l grated from
an old tree standing in my orchard
| would have had the variety which |
desired. I have several times received
the same failure. No doubt the nur
serymen exercise all possible care, but
it is natural to suppose we would keep
a better record of few trees for our
own special use than would hundred
men employed who have no special
interest in the business more than
the daily wages they receive. By this
means of supplying ourselves with
trees we are less liable to get our
orchards stocked with disease.-R. F.

Olympia or Improved Baldwin Apple.

Olympia or Improved Baldwin Apple.
Some months ago l saw an inquiry
by some brother fruitgrower regarding
the Olympia apple, and having watched
in vain to see an answer l will give
my opinion. My short experience with
that fruit prompts me to say that the
Olympia apple, also known as the I'M
proved Baldwin by some. is healthy,
productive and hardy. | have had but
two years experience with it's fruiting,
but can say that with my trees each
year the fruit had to be thinned to
prevent overproduction. In cOmpari-
son with the Baldwin, from which the
Olympia is a Seeding, in quality and
appearance it is as fine or finer, being,
| think, brighter red. AS to season,
| think it may be called an early win
ter, while the Baldwin is an all-winter
apple. My soil is good upland clay,

A vigorous outburst of firing sent
him back with haste Iris was up there
alone. He knew not what might hap
pen. He was now feverishly anxious
to be with her again. to hear her voice
and be sure that all was we'll.
To his horror he found the ladder
swaying gently against the rock. Some
one was using it. He sprang forward,
careless of consequence, and seized the
swinging end, which had fallen free
again. He had his foot on the bottom
rung when Iris voice, close at hand
and shrill with terror, shrieked:

She began to climb. he took some
article from between his teeth, a string

mounting the ladder at the same time.
The end tightened. He was then
about ten feet from the ground. Two

the cover Of the house.

Turning and clinging on with one

or care if they were hit. To frighten
them was sufficient. Several others

Aggravated Assault and Battery.

Amos Walton, of Marrienyille, was
lodged in Jail here recently on charge of
aggravated assault and battery, the vic
tim of the assault being a Swede named
Johnson, who was taken to the .Kane
Hospital for treatment, his injuries be-
ing of very serious nature. The trouble
between the men took place in a shanty
at barkpeeling camp, near the mouth Of
Pigeon Run, in Howe township, on Sun.

been caused by bad whisky. johnson
was cut on the head and breast with an
axe, and when taken to the hospital was
in a aerious condition. Four other men
who saw the fight were held under bail
for their appearance at court as witnesses
by Squire Wilton of Marienville, before
whom the hearing was held. The case
will come up for trial at September ses-
sion of court.

School Directors, Convention.

The third annual Convention OF the
School Directors of Forest County, was
held in the Court House at Tionesta, Pa,
June 10 and 20, 1905. The first session
began Tuesday afternoon at o'clock with
President II. f. Ritchey in the chair, and
after the reading of the minutes of the
last convention by Secretary X, l.. Has
let, the following topics were taken up;
The County Uniform Course of Study;
Joint Meetings of Teachers with Direct
ors, and the Selection and Change OF
Teachers. These were fully discussed by
Directors Ritchey, Dunn, Scowden,
Youngk. Cassett, Shields, Catlin and
Supt. Morrison. The question box was
then opened after which the session
closed.
The first topic taken up Tuesday morn
ing was the Compulsory School Law by
Director Brown, who in short time
showed that he was thoroughly acquaint-
cd with the subject. He was followed
by Directors Ritchey, Youngk, Cassett,
and Barton.
The Value of Teachers Term Reports
was then we'll discussed and this was
followed by the topic "Some Points
Needing More Attention." by Supt.
NJ orrison. In this interesting talk he
showed himself thoroughly acquainted
with the school laws of Pennsylvania
and made everybody feel that a wise
choice had been made in the selection of
County Superintendent.
The officers for the following year were
then elected, as follows:
President, T. f. Ritchey, of Tionesta.
Vice President, Peter Youngk, of Ne
braska.
Secretary and Treasurer, d. b. Shields,
of Marienville.
Twenty-Five directors we're in attend
ance and showed great interest in the
convention.
The lecture announced for Tuesday
evening was not given, for the reason
that the speaker engaged missed the train
and failed to arrive.

Base Ball.

TITUsvILLE AGAIN wALLoPED.
For the third time this season Titus
vile bas gone down in inglorious defeat
before the Tionesta invincibles, or as the
Herald is pleased to put it, the "back-
woodsmen." On Saturday afternoon the
strong S. d NJ. cutlery team came over to
retrieve some of the prestige lost by the
flower of the Queen City base ballists,
but returned empty-handed and crest
fallen. At no time during the visitors
nine times at bat was there the least
chance for them, and only for careless
playing, born of prospects of certain vic
tory on the part of the home team, would
the Titusvillians have scored run. Had
it not been that our boys took pity on
their guests and played very loosely in
the 9th inning it would have been anoth-
or clean shut-out for the visitors. Bank
head and Lawrence formed the battery
for our boys, and they had their guests at
their mercy from beginning to end,
"Billy" allowing but few hits, while II
went down before his delivery. The
game was too lopsided to be interesting,
and unless Manager Landers books some
stronger combinations than can be found
in Titusville, interest in the great North
American game in Tionesta will begin to
lag. Titusville, while all nice people,
don't seem to be in it with the "back-
woodsmen.n The score:

Mr.. Dewoody, the jobber, was near by
and was first to reach him. All possible
assistance was rendered, but the young
man showed no sign of life after being
struck, and strange to say the skin was
not even broken, but it is evident the
skull was crushed. The body was pre-
pared for burial and taken to the home of
Matthias parents at Tylersburg, where the
funeral was held on Saturday. He was
a young man of industrious habits, and
well liked by his companions and ac-
quaintances.
