Work on the new power house which |
is being built at McCalrs Ferry, on the
Susquehanna river, has been very much |
interrupted daring the past few weeks |
on account of the floating ice, which in
terfered with the work of the engineers. |
To overcome this, bridge was erected |
in twenty four hours, which carries the
employees across the river in huge bas-
ket. This is done by cable stretched |
from the high hills on either side Of the |
river. The cable is an inch in thickness |
and is attached to two big chestnut |
trees. Work on this enterprise is pro- !
crossing rapidly, and by spring tent
porary town of 500 houses, capable of
accommodating several thousand erl-
ployees, will be built. The labor to be
employed will be largely Italian.
On Monday, the County Commits
sioners appointed n committee, consist |
ing of Mess1s W. w. Preston, !. NJ |
Street, and John D. Worthinet ton to |
communicate with the chairmen Of the |
Roads and Highways Committees, of
the Senate and House, looking to pub
lie hearing on the proposed amendments |
to the Shoemaker Road Law. 1t is the
intention of the Hartford commissioners |
to invite the cooperation of similar
boards throughout the state, and in open |
meeting arEee upon some united plan |
to present to the Legislature for passage. |
1t will require concerted action in order |
to accomplish any result, and The COM
missioners of Hartford should have the |
support of the local boards of other
counties, so that there will be a unani- |
nifty of sentiment to back the amend
ments of the present law that will be
asked
Mr.. c. Bosley Littig, who was i'll,
strumental III conducting the corn special
through Baltimore and Hartford counties
last spring, has received statistics show
ing that the corn crop of Maryland over
1904 gives an increase of three and
half bushels to the acre, on an acreage of
CPS 900, which is 1000 less than 1904.
The total yield of the State was approx
mately 100000 bushels, which means
over $1,000,0OO to the good of the
| farmer No doubt the movement faith
cred by Mr.. Littig played an important
part in this work. 1t was largely expert
mental, of course, and we hope to see it
continued this year, when the special"
will be more popular. This is the day of
advanced farming, and we must take
advantage of every innovation that
means better results without additional
outlay. The popular part of these corn
lessons is that there is no additional cost
over the old method.
Breeders and owners OF poultry and
pet stock will hold an exhibition in Bel
Air on Friday and Saturday. February
16 and II. The display will be limited
to Hartford county owners, and cash
prizes will be awarded for the best of
each class. The premium list will be
ready by the first of February. The
committee is anxious to receive an early
communication from those who expect
: to make exhibits, so that suitable space
can be prepared. The outlines of this ex-
: hibit have heretofore been mentioned in
5 this paper. We cannot commend its OBJ
ject too highly, and hope that there will
be liberal patronage to justify its con-
tinuance There is no way in which local
' interest can be aroused SO thoroughly,
and as this is entirely home affair, it
j., must be sust aimed by the home people in
. order to be successful. An advertisement
= ia this weeks issue gives fuller particu.
s lars and the names of the off GERS and the
! committee.
