BoRAx IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and DaIrymap.

The problem OF keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making. has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taint or hint OF staleness
left In a can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the taint which
is left is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk o.
butter producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves
residue of its own which is, If any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener tha.
will meet modern. requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon
product of nature which exactly fills
the bill-borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that s
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re-
lieving the dairyman and dairy house
wife of drudgery and of needless
work and worry.
Its cheapness and value should gre
1t first place in the necessities Of
every dairy.
The cows udder is kept in clean,
healthy and smooth con iition by
washing 1t with borax and water, a
tablespoonful of borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats. which make
milking time a dread to the COW and
worry to the mixer.
The modern cleanser OF all dairy
utensils consists of-one tablespoon
full of borax to every quart Of water
needed. Remember tablespoonful
equals four teaspoonfuls.
Be sure that you get pure borax.
To be sure, you must get "20 Mule
Team Borax."

TWENTY YEARS FOR MURDER.

Pottsville Especially Ralph Reedy,
of Orwin, Schuylkill County, who last
month murdered Morris Bender, his
wife's uncle, by crushing in his head
with stone, pleaded guilty to sec
ond degree murder, just as the jury
was ready to retire to deliberate.
Reedy committed the murder on the
public road shortly before midnight
near Bender's home, and was cap
tured several days later near Leban-
on.
His defense was that he had been
followed by Bender and acted in
self-defense, and that his mind was
clouded from the effects of liquor.
Judge H. o. Bechtel gave Elm the
full penalty of the law, twenty years

TORTURE FARMERS.

Great Bend Especially Tortured
by robbers who sought $1,000 which
they knew he had received, William
Hartley. an old farmer of Gienwood.
Pa, is In a serious condition. The
burglars beat their victim until he
was almost unconscious, and then
placed his bare feet on a red-hot
plowshare.

Monrose with Instructions to deposit
the cash in bank and return to the
farm the following day.
That evening three masked men
knocked at the door OF the Hartley
farmhouse. When the door was
opened they rushed in, leveled re-
volvers at the head of the old man
and demanded the $1,000.
II sent It to bank" replied Hart
ley.
That's a lie. Show us where IL
is concealed or we will kill you,"
came the retort.
In vain Hartley protested that he
was telling the truth. A blow on

cried that he was telling the truth
While one of the men guarded him
The other two ransacked the house,

Then one man went outside and
got the plowshare 1t was placed in
the fire and heated. The screaming
farmer was dragged to the hearth
and his bare feet pressed to the red
hot surface. He cried for mercy, but
he thieves did not~heed him.
Finally, in his agony he tainted,
and the hot iron was removed. Sew

ants left him. They took with them

Two men were arrested charged
with being in the plot. They are

THE wARsHIP OF THE FUTURE.

m Coal

Washington, D. C.-The war vessel
of the future will be swift, smoke
less, noiseless craft. lying low in the
water, with every vulnerable part be-
low the water line, the entire deck
being for the work of the guns. There
will be no smoke, because there will
be no smokestacks. In the night
time there will be nothing to betray
the presence of this invincible fight
ing demon to the enemy.
This prediction was made by Rob-
ert Haywood Fernald. mechanical en-
gineer, who has for several years
been connected with the fuel investi-
cations of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. Mr. Fernald believes
that the gas engine, or internal COM
bustion motor, as 1t is called by engi-
neers, will be installed in naval ves-
sells of the United States within the
next few years.
II expect to see the United States
ahead of every other nation in this
innovation" said Mr.. Fernald. "The
gas engine. in my opinion, is feasible
on any vessel because of its economy
over the steam engine, but it is espe-
cially desirable on the fighting ship
for the reason that 1t makes no
smoke. The gas is generated in a
producer which has no chimney and
needs none. The coal is turned di-
rectly into gas. which goes straight
to the engine.
"The elimination of the smoke is
sufficient to call for the installation
OF the gas engine, yet there are many
other features in its favor. The yes
sci would have a free deck for the
play of its big guns. There would be
no towering stacks to be punctured
or destroyed, thus crippling the boat.
Then 1t would be unnecessary to
carry as much coal. for the same
power can be developed with one
third less than the steam engine
