FOREST RESERVES
TO BE INCREASED

The fight for the creation of auxili-
the State to control the timber on
large tracts while the title remains
vested in private parties or corpora
tions which pay small tax in return
for giving the State rights, will be
renewed with the coming Legislature.
In the session of 1907 two bills, call
ed from the name of their sponsor,
Representative James Brann, of War
rem, the Brann timber bills, were a
storm center for a while and while
one bill became a law. it was rendered
imperative by reason of the fact that
a companion bill was defeated in the
Senate.
COMPANION BILL FAILED
One of the Brann bills created the
auxiliary reserves and the other pro-
vided for q low rate of taxation. The
former got through, but the latter was
bitterly assailed as being in the inter
est of timber companies and individu-
ais who wanted to escape large taxes
while trees were growing again.
The State Forestry Department has
taken up the matter now and Com
missioner Conklin says that laws such
as asked will cause farmers and others
owning land which is now lying idle
and taxed pretty high to plant trees as
well as furthering the aims of the
State to cause increased growth of
timber in many valleys in its effort to
control the floods, it being generally
recognized that destructive freshets
are due to the deforestation which has
been going on for years.
STATE TO PROTECT TIMBER.
The bill creating the reserves pro-
vided that the auxiliary could be est.
ablished by application to the commits
sioner, who should examine and olassi-
fly it certifying its establishment as
an auxiliary reserve to the commits
sioners of the county wherein it is
located so that the abatement or relief
OF taxation may be procured,
In return for this the State patrols
and protects the timber and the owner
may not cut it except when in the
Judgment of the official it is fit to be
thinned out. After ten years, the tim
Der, if proper, may be cut to certain
extent under State supervision and
must be replanted if it is to remain an
auxiliary reserve. The assessment fer
taxation was to be at not more than 81
an acre, mineral to be assessed separate
ly. The new bill will follow the lat
ter lines The other is already law.

PREPARING FOR
THE REUNION

The survivors of the Spanish Ameri-
can war In Danville have already ao
lively entered upon preparations for
the reunion Of the Twelfth Regiment
Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Vet.
eran Association which will take place
in this city on October 29th, the tenth
anniversary of the muster out of the
Twelfth regiment.
The preparations embrace a great
deal of hard work and the local men,
bers OF the association feel that it will
be impossible to make the reunion a
full success without the hearty cooper
alton of all classes. Between 300
and 400 members of the association
from other towns will be present in
Danville on the occasion. To prepare
for the entertainment of these will be
no small task. In view of the memor-
able reception accorded the Twelfth
Regiment when it returned home aft.
er the muster out in the fall of 1898
the survivors of the Spanish American
war do not believe that the citizens of
Danville will reveal any Indifference
or lethargy when it comes to preparing
for another demonstration that will
show their patriotism and their ap-
probation OF the sacrifices made for
the country's good.

FIRST INSPECTION
NEARLY FINISHED

The health officers of the county are
very busy just now carrying out the
instructions of Commissioner of Health
Samuel j. Dixon relative to the in.
spection of Dairy farms supplying
milk to the general public. The in.
spection is an entirely new feature OF
the crusade against dirty and polluted
milk. The health officers are given
until August goth to complete the
work and they are. therefore, losing
no time in covering their respective
territories.
The sanitary inspection of dairies is
made for the purpose of protecting the
milk from dirt and disease producing
germs. The inspector is expected to
obtain reliable data as to the oleanli-
ness Of the cows, water supply for the
cattle, conditions of the stable, COW
yard, milk house, &c. He is obliged
to report whether the cows udders,
their fianks and even their tails are
clean. He is not only to determine
whether the COWS drink polluted wat
er but whether or not they are per-
mitted to wade in polluted water.
The floor of the COW stable must be
clean and dry; the ceiling must be
clean and tight. The manure must be
removed daily. Dirty litter must not
be permitted to remain in the stable,
so that the COWS can soil themselves in
lying down.
The inspector is to note whether or
not the mixers wear clean covering
over their clothes when mi king
whether or not they wash their hands
before milking; whether or not they
wash the teats and udders OF the cows
whether the milking stools are kept
clean; whether the fore milk" is
MIXED into the can; whether the
mixer uses milk on the hands when
milking
The inspector must also determine
whether typhoid fever, dysentery, or
any diaIrhoeal conditions have existed
within the household or among tine
employees of the dairy farm during the
year past.
Information on these and innumer-
able other points has to be CLEANED by
the inspector and i'll turn reported to
DR.. Dixon. The inspector is provided
with a set of rules pertaining TO clean
illness i'll the production Of milk which
he posts on every farm inspected.
Montour county has three health
officers, whose districts are as follows :
B. b. Brown, Mahoning, Cooper aud
May berry townships; W. @. Robbins,
Valley and Liberty townships A.
Sweitzer, West Hemlock, Derry and
Limestone townships
B. b. Brown has completed his dis
trict. having inspected l3 dairies He
states that he was as rule courteous
ly received by the farmers. which
shows that they are desirous Of doing
their part TO insure cleanliness and
purity of milk AS rule, also, he
states, he found things In good con.
dition about the various barns ana
milk houses inspected.
