That our American Forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness OF many native plants before the
advent OF the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter TO continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment Of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

SALooNNIEN'S REVENGE.

A movement has been started to
close cigar stores and soft drink par
lors in this city, for the avowed pur-
pose of getting revenge" on the
keepers of these places who have been
allowed to remain open on Sunday
while the saloons have been required
to close under the state law.
As this matter will now come be-
fore the grand jury, if complaint is
actually made. there is little possi-
bility Of any of the cigar stores or
soft drink parlors being required to
close.
The state law does not intend to
close any orderly business house. Sa-
looms are creators of disorder and for
this reason a Sunday closing law is
deemed a proper thing for any civil
lied community.
But orderly peaceable places, where
families congregate and where no
disorder or rowdyism originates are
not within the meaning Of the law and
it is not likely that any Umatilla
county grand jury will find such
places guilty OF any crime, simply to
give a few disgruntled saloonmen re-
venge.
II is hoped that the former saloon
men see the folly frying to use the
law OF get even" It will only Gre
ate prejudice against them.

Fruit Trees Exhaust Soil.

Z In considering the reasons why
apple and other fruit trees do not
bear as many or as fine apples as
they did In the early days, writes
Professor Garman. OF Kentucky sta
tion, I have been impressed with the
Importance of supplying the trees
with fertilizers as the soil becomes
exhausted. and am satisfied that the
greatest relative difficulty expert
enced nowadays in keeping fruit
trees In good condition is in part due
to an exhaustion of the coil. Trees
forage moro widely than smaller
plants, and may not show the effects
or starvation as suddenly or as soon,
but they must show It in time II
grown long on the same land without
anything being returned to the soil
to replace materials removed by the
trees. In this relation l was struck
recently by statement which l en-
countered In Professor Voorhees, in
teresting little book on fertilizers.
He says that twenty crops of apples
or fifteen bushels per tree, and thir-
,ty-hve trees to the acre. equal 1887
pounds of nitrogen. $40 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 1906 pounds of
potash. Twenty crops OF wheat, of
fifteen bushels per acre, equal eco
pounds of nitrogen, eli pounds Of
phosphoric acid and S24 pounds of
potash. Therefore, according to Pro-
fessor Voorhees,. twenty crops of
apples remove more than twice as
wuch nitrogen. half rs much again
phosphoric acid, and nearly three
times as much potash, as twenty
crops OF wheat A good farmer
would hardly think OF growing twen-
ty successive crops of wheat on the
same land, no matter how good 1t
might. be. and II would seem to be
still greater folly, according to the
figures given. to attempt to grow
twenty crops of apples without re-
turning anything to the soil.

cURcro CARRIED TO GALLONS.

Scranton Especially. A horrible
scene was enacted on the scaffoid
here when Saverio Curcio met his
death by hanging for having shot
Nicholas Ferrias to death Christmas
Day, 1905. Curcio was only 23 years
old
The condemned man was very CON
fldent of q reprieve, as he had al
ready been reprieved three times, and
after his frightful attempt at suicide
he thought the sentence would not be
executed. When the Board of Par
dons refused to interfere he went
into Mysteries and would not eat nor
sleep since Monday.
AS soon as an attempt was made
to take him to the scaffold he began
to scream and struggle and IT. was
only by main force that he was final
ly carried bodily to the platform.
Even then It was some time before
the cap could be adjusted, while his
sobs and cries filled the entire build
ing. The onlookers were unnerved
at the sight
Curlo was exceedingly thick set
and heavy and when his body was
ierked nine feet into the air, al
though it was afterward found that
his neck was broken. he did not die
but hung struggling for nearly half
an hour before the pulse stopped
beating.
The hanging was conducted by
James VanHise, of Newark, n. j.,
who has a record of eighty-siX exc
cutions.

Grit Boxes.

Every well regulated poultry house
ought to have a grit box. This Is
easily made out of cracker box. and
the self feeding kind is the best. Make
three apartments and I'LL them with
grit, charcoal and oyster shells
Hang this boz on the wall Just with
in reach Of the fowls and you will be
surprised to note the amount of grit
the fowls will consume. Anyone
with n hammer and saw and little
ingenuity can make box that will
last for years. BY hanging It on the
wall 1t is out of the way and the
grit and oyster shell keep clean and
are not wasted. If you have large
flock of fowls you will need several
OF these boxes. If you have several
pens, one must be supplied to each
pen. This plan Is much better than
to supply the grit in an open box
which soon becomes mixed with the
dirt and scratching material of the

FARM sUPERINTENDENTs.

State College Especially There
are eighty-seven students at the Win
ter courses in agriculture at the
Pennsylvania State College. Some
of these men are studying dairy
manufacture and are fitting them
selves for work in creameries and
cheese factories. Some are taking
the horticulture course and others
are giving their time to a study of
general agriculture.
These men come from the farms
and have good farm experience. The
twelve weeks embraced in these
winter courses are sufficient to give
to these practical men a consider
able knowledge of the underlying

return to their own farms, but there
are some who are available for po-
sitlons as farm superintendent when

STATE FARMERS PROSPEROUS.

Harrisburg Especially The recent
financial stringency did not serious
ly affect the farmers of Pennsy1-
vania, according to the reports OF
the Standing Committees OF the State
Board of Agriculture, which held its
annual session here. Moreover the
farmers are prosperous, there being
few Improbable farms. New meth
DDS are being applied to farming
and numerous suggestions along this
line were made by members of the
board.
r. J. Weld, of Sugar Grove, repre-
senting-the Committee on Dairy and
Dairy Products, reported that while
the price of dairy products has in
creased the past year, the profits are
smaller, because of the increase in
the cost of feeding stuffs.
A report of Horticulture was pre-
sented by Edward Lonsdale, of
Philadelphia, and George G. Hutch
inson, of Warriors Mark, reported
that feeding stuffs which do not
reach the legal standard are being
drawn out of the Pennsylvania mar
kets.
1t was suggested by State Zoolo-
gist Surface that the fruit growers
should use precautionary measures
to keep out moth for the eradlca-
ton of which the State of Massa-
chusetts expended 100000 last
year.
The spread of tuberculosis among
cattle has been checked, according
to State Veterinarian Pearson, and
the new meat inspection laws is pro-
ducing satisfactory results.
John Hamilton, of the National
Department of Agriculture, told the
farmers to pay more attention to
wheat growing. He said the pro-
duction of wheat in the United
States was becoming less per acre
every year, and unless the matter
were given attention this country in
twenty years would be importing
wheat instead of shipping it abroad.

System Brings Success.

We always have believed that sys-
tenn on a farm brings success-have
place for everything and keep
everything in its place. If you have
not made any money out of chickens
and ducks, 1t is because you haven't
got started just right--a good begin
ming makes a good ending. There
is more money to be made out of
chickens, ducks and eggs than out Of
stock raising with less work to do.
II you have living stream or spring,
or a good pond, try and raise ducks
good, marketable ducks, not runts.
Get the best eggs you can buy, and
lay a good foundation for the COM
ing season. Build small duck
house on an improved plan-start
well. Do the work yourself-do not
depend on help. The man who ex-
poets to make success of chickens
and ducks must give them his per-
sonal attention, although ne can be
insisted by his wife, for whom there
are many material pleasures on the
farm.-Orff's Poultry Review.

A White Lcghorn Egg Farm,

In New York State, on one of those
breezy hills which are to be found in
almost every county, Mr.. Wyckoff
many years ago, started out to make
a living for himself and his family
from the soil. His only capital was
his ambition. good health and a wife
full of cheer and encouragement. In
looking about for a farm, he found
an old man VINO was so anxious to
sell that man without money was
able to buy. Mr.. Wyckoff's father
went security for the first payment
and loaned his son cash enough to
purchase a team, a few COWS, some
tools, seed and twenty-five scrub
hens.
The buildings were for the most
part in a tumble-down condition, and
as the new farmer hadn't cent to
make any Improvements with, he de-
termined to develop the poultry end
of the business, as IL required no ex-
penditure of capital. He housed his
flock in one of the old buildings;
they laid fairly we'll. but recognizing
the advantage of having thorough
bred stock, he soon replaced them
with Brown Leshorns. From the
eggs laid by these he saved in one
winter and spring SIS, and with it
bought White Leghorn eggs. The
next year, the third on the place, he
had flock of $50 White Leghorn
hens. That winter eggs were un-
usually high, and his flock returned
him $50 in eggs laid. This money
YVES invested in buildings, the heh1
paying for all the improvements
made.
Mr.. WycEoff never invested an out
side dollar in his poultry since the
day he bought his first twenty-five
scrub hens. Every cent his hens
made was put back into new build
ings and yards. 1t took five or six
years to get the business we'll started
owing to lack of capital, but since
then he has sold about $4,000 worth
of produce from his farm annually,
of which about $500 is from eggs
and poultry. He always kept few
cows. and for many years depended
on the dairy to pay the interest on
the purchase price of his place.
1t may interest some to know
what sort of ration was fed on this
farm. In the morning a mash was
compounded as follows. One bu.
corn. two bu. oats, ground fine; to
each 200 pounds of this mixture add
100 pounds bran and five or six
pounds beef scraps; moisten with
milk. This is fed in troughs, the
feeder returning in ten minutes to
take up any more where needed. At
noon, green food was given, either
mangels or cabbage in winter, clover
or kale in summer; sometimes a light
feed of mixed grain in the litter.
Night feed was usually mixed grain;
in winter two bushels each wheat,
oats, buckwheat and corn; in sum
mer the corn in the mixture is re-
duced one-half-E. X. Parkinson, in

STUDENT KILLED BY TRAIN.

Reading (SpeciaD While taking
his morning walk, II. Edward Orff,
a theological student and member of
a prominent Reading family, was
struck and instantly killed by a pas
senger train of the Schuylkill and
Lehigh branch of the Reading Rail-

the train approaching.
He was % years old and gradual
