To the York County Public.

In pursuance of authority delegat-
ed To us by the Farmers Union oi
York county. we desire 10 solicit the
cooperation of the York county pub
lie in raising a fund to be used in
prizes to stimulate corn production
in accordance with the intensive SyS-
tenn.
Under the plan agreed upon, the
entering contestants are to contribute
500 of the prize money through a
pro rata assessment in proportion to
the number of acres entered by each.
But the raising of this 500 in this
manner is to be conditioned on there
being entered in the contest as many
as 100 acres. Otherwise those who
enter will not be required to pay any
part Of the proposed assessment. We
think it desirable to raise for pre-
MUM purposes not less than $500,
and if we succeed in raising that
amount, it will be the plan of the
committee to offer three prizes. the
first of $3.50, the second of $50 and
the third of 500.
All offers of subscription may be
cause them to be publicly acknowl-
edged and forwarded to Mr.. 4. L.
Black, Secretary and Treasurer of the
York County Farmers Union for
record.

About the first of July, 1901, l wrote
the application of a prominent citizen
of Yorkvile for $1,000 insurance in the
Mutual Benefit. The policy was deliv-
cred about July Is. 1901. Shortly af-
terward he applied for and secured two
policies of $4,000 each in two we'll
known companies. The longer he has
the Mutual Benefit policy the more
pleased he is with it and the company,
and the less pleased with the others.
During the past 80 days / have deliv-
cred him his second Mutual Benefit
policy. this time for $4,000 He is now
carrying about $4,000 life insurance in
eight different companies, and says
that he regrets that all of it is not in
the Mutual Benefit The insurer who
needs experience, buys his Policies

The Retrieving Dog.

The so-called art of the animal
training has crept into practice as
the means of teaching dogs to re-
trieve. That would appear crying
shame, for all puppies, when taken
in hand, delight in taking hold of an
old rag, ball, slipper or furry skin,
such as that of rabbit. Play with
the puppy, using any of these things.
and he will be glad, and even proud.
to run after 1t, when 1t is thrown a
yard or so, when he Is in the height
of his excitement. 1t Is as natural
for a dog to take things in his mouth.
as it is for a child to grasp with its
hand. That is the way to teach a
dog to retrieve, for dog that is
made to accomplish anything because
of a fear of some punishment is no
longer the servant of humane mas
ter. AS an animal does not perform
acrobatic. exercises of his own free
will and desire, SO the forced re-
triever is a creature to be pitied. The
severe method of making dog carry
anything is 20 pinch his ear with the
nails of the first finger and thumb.
This makes the dog open his mouth,
and what he is to carry-generally
a corn rob is used because Of its
softness and lightness-is placed In
the mouth. And SO goes on the treat
ment. that must be distasteful to the
breaaer as 1t is to the dog whose
heart and spirit are broken. AS the
centcnarian said: "The old ways
the best way after all" and certainly
that declaration is the better SO far
as teaching dogs to retrieve.-Recre-
alton.

PROFIT AS WELL AS LUCK.
Time Honored Adage Regarding the
Horseshoe Improved by the Chinese.


A time-honored adage has 1t that
an old horseshoe is symbol of luck.
China, the mother of inventions, has
found in this cast-off a source of
revenue of decided interest to Ameri-
cans. Vice-Consul Ernest Vollmer
states that one of the constantly
growing imports into the Chinese
Province of Shan-Tung through the
port OF Tsing-Tau Is old horseshoes,
which leads him to give the following
particulars:
One steamer alone in November
brought 800 tons of this scrap iron
from Hamburg. The market for
these wornout shoes seems to be al
most without limit. Chinese iron
dealers buy the horseshoes and sell
them to knife and tool manufacturers
all over the province. 1t is claimed by
the Chinese that the temper of this
class of iron makes 1t the best OBJ
tainable for other tools. The reason
ascribed for this is that the constant
beating the shoes have received
under the feet OF horses has given
them q peculiar temper absolutely un-
obtainable in any other way, and
that tools made from them are su-
perior to all Others. .--iJew York Tri-

Cruelty to Animals I. Germany.

Owing to the action of the newly
formed Berlin Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals the
Prussian Minister of the Interior has
issued decree ordering all police
officials in large and medium sized
towns to undergo special course OF
instruction In matters affecting the
well being Of animals.
In those parishes whore 1t is found
impossible to give each Official in
dividual instruction the attention OF
the authorities Is drawn to the pro-
cedure laid down by the Berlin Pc.
lice President, who has caused q
special list OF rules to be drawn up
for the guidance Of policemen.
Preceding the rules is the follow
ing general observation "Self-evi-
dent cruelty to animals must be ener-
geticaIly combated by officials. They
must not wait until their interven-
tion Is requested by the general pub
lic."
The list comprises seven main
parts, OF which those concerning
draught animals (excluding dogs)
are most comprehensibly treated; and
ten examples are cited in which the
intervention Of the police would seem
particularly desirable. - Berliner

The man past thirty finds the doors
of the railway Offices and of other
large corporations almost entirely
closed in his face. The nearer he is
to twenty-one the better his chances.
A visit to some OF the great railway
offices at the lower end of Manhattan
Island showed remarkably few men
at the desks more than thirty years
old, and they had taken their posi-
tions a decade or more ago. Here
Is a sample of the condition as shown
In one large room where forty-five
men were at work. Twenty-three
were under twenty-five years of age,
twelve we're between twenty-five and
thirty, and OF the other ten but four
were more than forty. and but one
of those had begun his work after
he was thirty.
Similar general conditions were
found in the offices of all Of the great
utility corporations. In every en-
ployment there Is a demand for the
active mind of youth, capable of
quickly learning, and without the bias
of former training and habits to be
overcome.
At hundreds of desks visited last
week there was striking evidence Of
this fact, and where men were seen
whose hair showed the frost of years,
it was learned that they held their
positions for a long time. When
these men do go younger blood takes
their places. 1t is noticeable that
the employees of the various city de-
partments average more in, years
than the large number in private en-
ployment.-New York Herald.
