From the Indiana farmer.

l.
From all that we read concerning
this new implement we believe that
the inventors have finally succeeded
in making use of a particular princi-
pie in construction that will eventu-
ally, at least give us milking ma
chine that will relieve this manual la
Dor portion in the dairy. There is al
ways an opportune time for the COM
ing of Inventions" The old adage
expresses the thought in these words:
"Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion." The necessity in the labor
situation upon the farm of to-day is
demanding the milking machine.
This aid to the dairy will be in har-
mony with modern Improvements
for the relief Of the labor in carrying
out the work of the modern farm.
Without the modern reaper and bind.
er the world would be short of bread;
without the aid of the milking ma.
chine the outlook is that the world
at large will be short of milk and
butter. We notice in our agricul
ture reading and in our acquaintance
with the forms at large that there is
a strong tendency to drop the dairy
work and take up some other forms
of agriculture. This movement i:
in the air. 1t is not because thu
dairy is not profit maker but sim
ply because of the peculiarly burden.
some nature of the labor in th'
dairy growing out of hand milking
and the greater difficulty of obtain
ing help to do the same

The State Highway Department
is seeking to correct the general i'm
preston that the roads constructed
under State supervision have been
detached sections. 1t calls attention
to the fact that in several instances
roads ten and twelve miles long
have been made. This is well
enough of course, as far as it goes,
but it does not so far enough. The
Highway Department cannot con.
troll the matter under present laws
What is needed is a system under
which connected roads must be
constructed, and that is something tC
which the Legislature is likely tt
give its early attention.
Uamistakable signs lead weather
prophets to predict a severe winter
An old weather-wise farmer remarks
thatthe weeds have grown unusually
high, which he said indicates a Ions
severe winter. He said nature
causes the weeds to grow tall so tina
the birds can feed upon the seed
when the ground is covered will
snow. Another indication he con
tinued, was the fact that squirrel
are carrying their winter supply o
grain into hollow trees. When the.
deposit them in less secure places ;
mild winter may be expected.

The New jersey authorities have
about $50, 900 worth of voting ma
chimes on their hands which they
would like to get rid of. The ma
chimes were purchased for use and
experiment in various election dis
tricts, but have been gen orally
rejected. Under an act of the Legis-
latule the question of retaining or
abandoning them has been voted on,
and in almost if not every, instance,
they have been condemned by over
whelming majorities. 1t is ac-
knowledged that there are some
good points about a voting machihe,
but there is such liability to get out
of order, and sometimes do the un
intended thing, that people have
not become reconciled to them. II
is evident that a departure from the
ballot system is far distant, and in
the hands of men who know how tt
use it the ballot does the business al
right

The enemies of the human race
are one by one becoming known. A
battle against them is much more
effective than against the imponder-
able and invisable agencies which
were once supposed in some un-
known way to spread and multiply
disease. The battle against the rat,
The communicating host Of the bu-
bonie plague is proceeding vigorous
ly in several parts of the world, in
Guiding California. The obstruction
of rats is twofold blessing, but in
Los Angeles it is found that the in.
offensive ground squirrel can also
communicate the plague, having
boen itself inoculated, 1t is believed
by some plague infested rat.
The mosquito is such a prolific
source of several diseases as to justi

Timber at so much pound-as a
large tract was sold Wednesday-is
an indication of how scarce it is now
in this part of the State, which was
once so heavily wooded. The sale
was made by j. p. Fredric, of
Bloomsbury, to w. A. McWilliams,
Danville, who is to clear a tract of
woodland on Fredric's farm and to
pay one dollar for every thousand
pounds of the timber.

New Guests For Eagles Mere.

When the season for big game
opens, black bear that likes fudge
and watermelons will be the special
prize sought by gunners in the vi
cinity of Eagles Mere, for during the
season just closing although not in
the least menancing, Bruin became
entirely too familiar for the peace of
mind of some of the more timid cot
tagers of that popular resort.
The boldest coup of the entrepid
animal was to sneak in from the
forest on a night on which fudge
and watermelon feast was to be
enjoyed at an Eagles Mere Park cot
tage. The yong people had made
the fudge and placed it on the rear
porch for cooling where also reposed
watermelon or two awaiting con-
sumption by the merry makers.
But behold! when they looked to
see if the fudge had cooled it was
found badly mussed while the water
melons were in sorry half MUNICH
ed state. Then it was remembered
by other cottagers that refuse from
evening lunches placed at their rear
doors had disappeared in ways mys-
terious. Later DR.. Wingert heard
an animal shifting about his cottage
at night and made an investigation,
but the brute evaded him.
But Bruin no doubt embodied by
memories of fudge and watermel-
ons emerged from the forest swith-
out waiting for darkness to mask
his movements, and was spied by
the alert physician, who boldly stood
his ground and put the animal to
F! flight with few stones more or less
accurately thrown. This bear was
only cnb. Others have been
seen in the same vicinity during the
summer. The crew of the Eagles
Mere train saw one cross the track
ahead of their engine one day. But
there will be none there next sum-
mer if the ihunters of that vicinity
make good their boasts. Some OF
them have been thinking of invit
ing President Roosevelt to join in
the chase. 1t will be surprising i
any of the animals survive the frs
/ tracking snow. DR.. Wingert is tt
have choice steak if the particular
bear he is interested In, is slain dur
ing the open Observation-Disclosures
News.

Went Through Bridge.

A steam roller weighing nearly 20
tons, used in the construction of the
new state read in Wells township,
Bradford county, broke through the
highway bridge eight rods from the
State Line hotel at 1920 O'Clock Fri
day morning and dropped 20 feet to
the rock bottom creek bed below.
Elmer Lucas who was operating the
engine, went down with the machine
but escaped serious injury by jump.
ing away from the falling bridge.
The big machine was badly batter
ed up in the crash that followed,
and now stands in an almost perpen-
dicular position, the front part of
the machine resting against the north
abutment.
The accident has practically stop
ped work on the road, for the roller
is needed badly. Contractor Ridge
has been summoned from Pittsburg.
Under the Pennsylvania system
the damage to the bridge will have
to be paid by Bradford county.
Superintendent of Public Instruct
ion Schaffer designated Oct. 23d as
Arbor Day for the public schools of
the State, and all connected with the
schools are urged "to observe the
day by the planting of trees and
other suitable exercises" The very
best exercises of the day of course
will be tree planting. 1t ought to
be done by every school in the State
where there is opportunity for such
thing. 1t will be wise course to
instruct the growing generation as
to the Importance not merely of
planting trees for ornament but of
reforestation and the preservation of
the trees that now exist. Arbor
day in the school should not be a
mere holiday; it should mean busi-
ness.

The world is full of doleful
creatures who move about de
handing our sympathy. | have
nothing to offer them but doses
Of logic, and stern commands TO
move on or fall back.
Catholics in distress about In
fallibility; Protestants deyoting
themselves 20 the dismal task Of
parting down the dimensions Of
this miracle, and reducing the
credibility Of that one as If any
appreciab.a relief from the bur-
den Of faith could thereby be ob-
tanned; sentimental skeptics who.
after laboring to demolish what
they call the chimera of super
stition, fall TO weeping rs they
remember they have now no lies
to teach their children; demo-
Gratis who are frightened at the
rough voice Of the people and
aristocrats flirting with demo-
cacy. Logic, if it cannot cure
ought at least to silence these
gentry. Augustine Birrell.

war ON PESTS.

The government bureau of in
sects has promised to show us
the way to get rid of house flies
and mosquitoes, which are al
most as detrimental to our COM
fort because of their incessant
buzzing and pugnicious boring as
to our health because of their
transportation of germs. But
the government has only promis-
ed. 1t has yet not made good.
SO far about the only informa-
tlon it has impaired is that we
should screen all windows and
doors against the flies and urge
the legislation to pay the cost of
putting something in the pools
where the mosquitoes breed that
will exterminate young and o'd.
We know all about the screens
and we know all about getting
appropriations from the legisla-
ture. Now we want to know
what to sprinkle in the pools; and
incidentally. we would like to be
informed if it is not possible
to give the house flies some treat
ment that will render it unncccs-
sary to screen every opening and
plug up every crack in the house.
Possibly we will be told to feed
them yellow powder in nose bags.
But we want to be told something
definite, anyway. The question
of exterminating these bother
some and germ-peddling pests is
a serious one. The hope will be
genetal that the government cX-
perts will produce something
that will either destroy or mini
mize. They have produced quite
enough press clippings telling
what is going to be done, and
these destroy nothing but ones
patience. EX.

Escaped Lad
Brought Back
BENTON AMOS, WHO ESCAPED
FROM REFORM SCHOOL CAP
TURED AT PARkERs-
BURG.

GRAFTON, March "a. -, Benton
Amos, young lad confined in the
State reform school at PruntytoTn,
escaped from the Institution on Sat
urday evening and made good his es-
cape until Sunday evening, when he
was captured at Petersburg.
This is the eighth time the boy has
escaped from the school and each time
he has been retaken by the officers. 1t
would seem that his experience OF the
past would teach him that escape is
impossible from the vigilance OF the
authorities, but he seems always
ready to attempt escape from rrun'y
town.
The lad is one that is very hard to
manage, but Supt. Flesher is fully able
to cope with characters of this kind.
Mr.. Flesher has had wide experience
in the management Of boys and the
Pruntytown institution is at present in
excellent condition. 1t is very use
less for lad to attempt escape at the
present time, as supt. Flesher consd-
ers that as long as boy has not sorv-
ed his term in the school unless he
has been pardoned by the governor,
the sentence Will remain ms dark
blot upon his character all through
life and for this reason he endeavcrs
to see that the sentences are fully
served before boy is discharged.
