Narrowly Escapes Drowning.

Mrs. Belle Cook, wife of DIR. William
E. Cook, of Jersey City, narrowly es-
capped drowning in Budd's Lake on
Wednesday afternoon. She was rescued
after she had been under water several
minutes, and it took twenty minutes
application of artificial respiration by
DR.. Frederick w. Becker, Of Newark,
before she showed signs of life. 1t was
not until three o'clock Thursday morn
ing that Mrs. Cook regained conscious
ness.
Mrs. Cook went canoeing with Fred
erick Piper, an intimate friend of the
family, and, while reaching for pad
die, which she dropped, the craft over
turned. Piper caught Mrs. Cook and
led her to the overturned canoe, so
that she could cling to it as he swan
to shore with it. The woman lost her
grip and sank Whereupon Piper
called for help.
The cries for aid we're heard by DIR.
Becker and his son William, who put
out from float in boats, and by three
youths who were swimming.

HINTS FOR FARMERS


The Minnesota station gives the
analyses of weeds which sheep eat
readily and their protein contents
compared with alfalfa, clover and
timothy hay. 1t will be surprise to
many to see how high in protein these
weeds are, and it suggests the reason
sheep flourish on them, worthless as
they are otherwise Here are the
analyses: Lambs quarters, 25.06 pro-
TEN, 54.64 carbohydrates, 1.96 fat;
purslane, 2613 protein, 53.70 carbo-
hydrates, 20 fat; pigweed, 1884 pro
TEN, 62.86 carbohydrates, L3o fat;
dandelion, 24.64 protein, 1896 carbo-
hydrates, 2.70 fat; catnip, 2225 pro-
tein, 63O7 carbohydrates, 2.66 fat;
goldenrod, 11.63 protein, 1858 carbo-
hydrates, 4.S5 fat; mustard, 1875 pro-
tein, 1850 carbohydrates, l55 fat;

scientlnc Forestry atePicas1nnv.

Scientific forestry is being demon
strated at the government reservation
at Picatinny, the war and agricultural
departments cooperating. At Plea
tinny the government has a tract of
about 1900 acres, dotted with maga-
zines for the storage Of powder and
shell, while adjoining the army reser-
walton is the naval powder station,
comprising about. 400 acres. Y In both
reservations are many acres of timber
lands. NQ
Under directions of Wesley Bradford,
agent for the forest service, there have
been planted on a selected tract 5000
white ash seedlings, by way of making
a start. Mr.. Bradford salso marked
many trees for cutting where the tim
Der needs thinning, Aside from the
planting of the white ash the work has
not gone much beyond the formulating
of plans, the carrying out of which will
take years.
A part of the plan under contempla-
tion provides for the installation of a
plant for the creosoting of railroad ties
for use on this and other reservations.
1t is the expectation, by the use of the
creosoting process, to be able to use
the inferior woods that abound there.

A mixture of Kaffir corn and cow
peas at the Pennsylvania station pro-
duced the largest yield of green SUBJ
stance per acre, was relished by the
cows and was entirely satisfactory
from the standpoint of milk produc-
ton. Alfalfa produced the largest
yield of air dry substance per acre,
and the cows seemed to hold up bet
ter In milk production when on alfalfa
than on any other crops tested. Oats
and peas proved satisfactory as a soil
ing crop. Rye produced the earliest soil
Ing crop and gave a large yield of
dry substance per acre but under aver
age conditions it ripens too quickly to
be most satisfactory. The different
forage crops tested seemed to have lit

FOR lnflamed EyeIids.

Anything concerning the eyes should
never be neglected, and as soon as the
eyelids become infiamed the following
lotion should be used: Two drains Of
glycerin and borax are beaten with
the white Of one egg.
One wineglassful Of cold water IS
added, and the mixture is beaten
again. This should be applied to the
edges Of the lids nightly. When all
soreness and Inflammation have passed
away land this will soon be the case,
as the preparation is healing the lids
may be touched nightly with white Of
egg beaten with three times the guam
tity of cold water
This must be freshly made each
night. The preparation is astringent
and should be applied as film only
and with the finger tips. In case any
unpleasant tightness from accidental
overuse should appear it may be rem
edied by bathing In cold water.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
WASHING Black Lace.

Black lace should mot be washed un-
less it is decidedly dirty, but should
be well shaken to remove as much
dust as possible and then dipped in a
solution of deep blue gum water.
When the lace has become dirty and
brownish In color the best plan is to
wash 1t In soapsuds and then rinse
and stiffen it in deep blue water, to
which the gum water has been added
The deep blue water will help to re-
store the lace to its original black.
The lace should be all rolled In an
old cloth for short time and then
pinned out with the cloth between 1t
and the sheet, as it i1nparts blue
stain, which 1t you'd be necessary to
remove from the sheet
When the lace is quite dry remove
the pins and place piece of tissue pa
per over it. Iron it with the paper
between 1t and the iron. If the iron Is
placed directly on the lace it will leave
gloss on it which is not pretty and
which stamps 1t as washed lace"

To wash veiveteen make a nice luke
warm lather with good brand of
soap and wash through just as you
would a flannel. The water should be
removed by pressure, as twisting is
likely to produce a shaded appear

velveteen should be well shaken and

plans For New Dairy Barns.

For the past two or three years the
dairy division of the department of ag-
riculture has been making an lnvesti-
cation Of all the principal dairy
harms In the United States and study
of the best methods of construction,
with reference to convenience, cheap
ness in feeding and hauling of stock,
sanitation, etc. The result is that the
division has large number of plans
suitable for building barns and stables
of varying costs, SO that any one con
templating building barn can OBJ
tain. by simply corresponding with the
chief of the division, set of building
plans which will probably just about
meet his needs.

Green Food For Poultry.

The value of green food for poultry
lies in the aid it renders the digestion
of other foods and In the effect of dis
tending or adding bulk to the ration,
besides affording various and valuable
nutrients. particularly protein, which
food constituent is Indispensable in the
growth Of any animal. Protein is the
element Of food which produces bone
and muscle, and any growing animal
in order to thrive must have the re-
quired amount.

Horse Sense.

Turning the work teams out to pas
ture at night is better than keeping
them shut up in close, poorly venti-
lated stable.
Every farmer must have horses. Why
not have the best, then, and make a
nice little profit on the side from the
colts?
The time to sell the colt is when a
good price is offered. It's good policy
to have him ready to attract the good
price, though.
Begin to handle the little fellow when
he is very young If you would keep
him from getting wild. Be judiclous
about 1t, though, atall times. q

Mashes For Poultry.

The feeding Of mashes to poultry is
not looked upon with so much favor at
the present time as formerly, says
the Farmers Advocate. However, If
mashes are to be fed, skimmilk or but
termilk will make valuable addition
to the mash. Milk in any form is a
valuable source of protein, and the
birds should be fed as literally as pos
sible Of milk and It's products.

RAILROAD NOTES.

G. w. Ten Brock, foreign freight
agent of the Lackawanna Railroad at
New York since March, 1904, has re-
signed to accept position, September
II, with Alfred II. Post g Company,
the export and import freight for
warders. William q. @Heyman, agent
of the Lackawanna Line at St. Louis,
will succeed Mr.. Ten Brock as foreign
freight agent of the Lackawanna Rail-
road at New York. For two years Mr..
Ten Brock was division freight agent
OF the Lackawanna at Scranton, two
years as Industrial agent at New York,
and one year as agent of the Waba: h
and Lackawanna Dispatch, New York.
The Lackawanna will Immediately
lay new and heavier rails between
Lafayette and Branchville. Several
carloads have already arrived for the
work. Although the last lot of steel
laid on the ties was considered equal
to the traffic, the use of larger and
heavier passenger engines to pull the
increasing travel has been so deStruc-
tive that several accidents through
b oxen rails have narrowly been
averted.
Richard V. Lindabury has registered
remonstrance with Lackawanna Of
fcials against the condition of the
Passaic & Delaware branch of the
road, following the second recent ac-
ctdent on M onday. He declares
through Frank Bergen that the track
in many places is poorly spiked, that
many of the rails are bent and others
worn down and unfit for use. He de-
clares that the whole road els in a
badly demoralized condition."
Passenger traffic to the Pocono and
other popular resorts along the Lack
awanna Railroad was unusually heavy
on August first. Five well-loaded
special trains were required to carry
the city residents to the mountains
and lake resorts west of Washington,
and all the regular trains were also
crowded.
If the Lackawanna would increase
the size of the section gangs employed
on the road hattnr road hod would
result. Around Morristown the rule
seems to be to never repair a siding
until there is an accident, and do on
the main line what a six-man section
gang can accomplish.
The probabilities are that tn
trouble over switchmen on the Lacks-
wanna will be settled without strike.

Everywhere the feeding of silage to
dairy cattle and beef cattle, horses and
hogs Is attracting each year more and
more attention The Ohio experiment
station has recently completed test
in which it was established that corn
silage under the conditions Of the ex-
pertinent had value Of $4.63 per ton
in feeding for beef. In view of this,
let any one not feeding silage consider
what he is losing when an acre of corn
makes ten to fifteen tons of silage.

hoa Notea.

The hog with large bones is rapidly
growing In favor. 3s.g.
Very frequently the feeding amounts
to more than the pedigree.
Dipping hogs is no longer a tedious
job. The modern tank simplifies It.
An average litter Of seven or eight
pigs will be pretty nearly sure profit.
A good way to savenhigh priced corn
is to provide good alfalfa pasture.

hogs is the man who objects to it
