The United States department of
agriculture is undertaking in con-
nection with the Minnesota expert
ment station, the development of a
strain of Shorthorns that will be
adapted to milk production. 1t is
proposed to interest a number of
farmers who will purchase Short
horn cows, if they do not already
own them, that are bred for more
than ordinary milk production. The
Minnesota station will also purchase
such animals and the government,
the Minnesota station, and the farm
ers will form an organization for
the control and distribution of the
offspring. The farmers entering the
experiment will thus have the con-
slant advice and assistance Of the
experts engaged in the work.

Lois Lewis was born in Frankfort
on-Main, Germany. When mere boy
he was noted for his proficiency in
every branch Of gymnastics, and made
quite a record as an athlete. Follow
ing in the footsteps of his father,
Lois, too, became a soldier. The fu-
ture began to look very rosy for
young Lewis when, in the year 1848,
revolution put the "Fathcrland" in
II turmoil. Lewis got mixed up in
this revolution and, unfortunately for
himself, was on the wrong side. He
was forced to flee from the country.
Lewis arrived in Philadelphia in
1850. Tn a little hall on Poplar
Street, between Second and Third
Streets, he helped to form m organ
ization which eventually developed
into the Philadelphia Tungcmende,
which now flourishes in its home at
429 North Sixth Street. From 1859
to 1887 he conducted a gymnasium
at Ninth and Arch Streets.
Tlirty-three years ago Lewis was
asked TO become the physical instruc-
tor at Girard College. He accepted
the offer. and his name was dignified
by the title Of professor.
Prof. Lcwis's long term of service
at the college has been one continual
success. The weight Of his seventy
eight years apparently hampers him
not in the least in his work.

TWO CENT FARE IN OHIO.
Excursion Rates, Clerical Rates, Spe-
cial Rates, Almost Entirely With
drawn-Effect Upon Busi-
ness Declared to Be
Serious.

Philadelphia, March 6.-The fol-
lowing statement is authorized on be-
half Of the Pennsylvania Railroad:
'Ohio being Il pioneer state in the
enactment of two-cent fare laws its
experience is constantly referred to
in the discussion of similar law in
Pennsylvania. In Ohio excursion
rates, clerical rates, and special rates
Of all kinds have been almost entire
~ withdrawn. The state now pays
twice as much for transportation of
the natiohal guard as it did before the
two-ccnt law was passed. The num-
Der Of trains discontinued is not large,
but many communities have been
greatly ineonveniehccd by the reduc-
ton in service that the railroads have
been forced to make.
"How serious was the effect Of the
withdrawal of excursion rates may be
judged from the fact that many sum-
mer resorts have been forced to close
because of loss of business. A far
more serious effect in the halting Of
suburan development in this state will
be inevitable if the two-cem bill now
pending becomes Il law.
"The low commutati0n rates and
frequent local express service prevail
ing in Pennsylvania were unknown in
Ohio. consequently there is no basis
of comparison between the two states
in this respect. In SO far as condi-
tiohs are similar, Ohio's experience
bears ont the prediction that the cf-
feet Of Il two-cent law in Pcnnsyl-
vania will be the raising of rates
which are now below that figure.
"This will mean in the case of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, that 72 1-2
per cent. Of its patrons, who now pay
less than two cents mile, will pay
more. The beneficiarics will be the
27 ID per cent. Of occasional travel
crs who now pay two and onc-half
cents Il milc.'

Cremation of the Dead.
From Success.


Cremation is one Of the most an
ricnt methods of disposing of the
dead. Before the beginning Of the
Christian era, cremation prevailed
among all civilized nations, except
the Jews, Chinese and Egyptians. La
ter, however, this form gave way to
earth burial.
Cremation has had a revival dur
ing the last few years. and from one
crcmafory in existence in 1900, there
were over fifty in 1890, and since
that time others have been added TO
the list each year. Cremation is com
mon in Japan, where ~ per cent of
the dead arc incincratcd. The first
crcmatory in the United States was
built at Washington, Pa, in 1876, by
Dr. lie Moync, and the first incinera-
tion there was that Of the body Of
Baron dc PLAN, which took place in
December Of The same year. This
was the onl y crcmatory in the United
States until 1894.

To Be Taken With Grain of Salt.


An argument suggested as one like
ly to have some Influence upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt to induce him to stand
for a third term is that if he perists
in his refusal to be candidate it
may make Senator Foraker the party
nominee.
Mr.. Roosevelt would moi relish hav.
ing Mr.. Foraker as his successor. The
Ohio senator stands for nothing Mr..
Roosevelt represents. There is a very
general suspicion in the public mind
participated in by the two statesmen
thcmsclvcs-that they do not like
each other. The president thinks Mr..
Foraker is "playing politics." with
the negroes and the "hostilc corpora
tions' as allies. Mr.. Foraker thinks
Mr.. Roosevelt, as president. is "play.
ing the dcvil' with the county. Real
ly, it is quite manifest that they do
not love each other.
What Mr.. Roosevelt would do if he
found the "rcactioniSts' hal settled
upon the Ohio senator as their candi-
date is problematical, but the ndvo-
Gates Of "third tcrm' believe that

BOUNTY ON eRuss IN FRANCE.
How Some Communities Encourage
determination Of Pest.

II is rather remarkable that any
people should offer a bounty for
the collection of white grubs. but
this is what some communities in
France have done sor years past.
A bounty Of from 10 to 20 centimes
per kilogram of white grubs was
the reward for gathering that kind
Of a pest. The statistics show that
in six years the collections amount
ed to 462,911 Kilograms. The
number Of white grubs required to
equal a kilogram is about 1900. This
means that about five hundred mil.
lions of the white grubs were thus
collected. II has been discovered,
however, says Farmers Review, that
the large quantities of money re
quired make it quite impossible to
carry on the work in this manner.
Furthermore it requires a great deal
Of devotion on the part of the col
lectors to be thorough in the work,
as, when the gTubs become scarce, Ii
does not pay to hunt them, and most
collectors will then abandon the
work, leaving the remaining grubs TO
develop into insects that will be a
source of further colonies of grubs.

ROOT PRUNING TREES.
Should Not Be Done Unless Growth
of Trees is to Be Checked.

Root pruning of trees is to be ad-
vised against unless the checking of
the growth of the trees is desired.
Many of our farmers have unwilling
~ root pruned their trees every year
by deep blowing or deep spading. To
cut off the ends of the roots is to
greatly interfere with the growth of
the trees. To put a plow into an old
orchard and plow between the trees
is to do an amount of root pruning
that will check the growth of the trees
for two years. A young orchard would
begin to recover more quickly, but
even a young orchard should not re-
ceive that kind of treatment Deep
blowing in the orchard is allowable
only when the trees are so small that
their roots have o yet reached into
the area plowed.
1t must be remembered, says the
Farmers Review, that the root
hairs that collect the plant food from
the soil are mostly on the outer ends
of the roots. They were abundant on
the roots near the trees once, but
have ceased to grow there as the
roots elongated. If these are cut off,
it is evident hat the power of the
DOT system to gather food will be
greatly curtailed. While the after eff.
fects of roo pruning are sometimes to
increase fruitfulness for a time, it is
doubtful If the aggregate f%ruitfulness
is increased.
In the cas- of old orchards the up
per six inches of soil has become
filled with roots, If blowing has not
been done while the fruit trees were
growing. To pillow such an orchard
is to render it of little value for some
years. and it is doubtful If old trees
will even recover from the shock.
