The Horse in Winter.

The first cold snap that puts in its
appearance the driver of horse or
team hustles to a clothing store to
purchase an overcoat, or searches the
closets at home for last years coat.
Let these drivers remember that the
horse they drive is just as sensitive
to the cold as they are. When you
buy an overcoat for yourself, buy a
blanket for the horse and use it
every time you stop. No matter If
you only stop for five minutes, throw
the blanket or lap robe over the ami
mails back to protect his kidneys.
What Is more disgusting than to
see a horse shivering from the cold
for the want of just little atten-
ton! Do not think because the
horse is dumb animal that he does
not appreciate it, for he does, and if
you will study your horse you will
soon see that he shows his apprecia-
tion in many ways.
A good thing to remember is to
take the bride to the house and
warm the bit before placing it in the
mouth of your horse. One way to
impress this on your mind is, on a
cold and frosty morning to stick your
tongue out and touch it to the bit on
the bride. The first impulse will be
to yank away, but if you do the re-
suit will be that part of your tongue
will stay with the bit. Just imagine
how the poor horse feels that is COM
PEELED to take cold bit every morn
ing Be as kind to your horse as
you can, for in this day and age his
life is not always happy one at the
best.

Weighed Over 10000 Pounds.

A bluestone, said to be the largest
that was ever sent over the Erie rail-
road, was shipped last Thursday. 1t
was taken from Maxwell's big quarry
at Pond Eddy, Pike county, and was
consigned to parties at Newark, N.
J.. 1t was shipped on an o. & w. car
built especially for such stones, and
was placed in an angular position on
the car, balanced on the lower side
by heavy stone.
The stone was 15x171s feet, 10
in. thick, and weighed 20 tons.
1t was originally much larger in
face surface, was II inches thick and
weighed 35 tons. 1t required five
teams two days to haul it from the
quarry. 1t is estimated that, when
it is put into place, it will represent
an expenditure of several thousand
dollars.
Maxwells quarry has the reputa-
tion of turning out the largest flag
stones in this country. A stone,
nearly twice the size of the one re-
ferred to, is now at the quarry.

A NEW AGREEMENT MADE.
Big Eddy Telephone Company Makes
New Traffic Contract With Con-
solidated Telephone Com


solidated Telephone Com
panies of Penn'a.
The Big Eddy Telephone Co. which
Is organized on the farmers mutual
plan and which operates more than
600 telephones and several ex-
changes in Wayne county and whose
rural lines extend well into Sullivan
county, New York, has made new
agreement for a period of years for
the interchange of business with the
Consolidated Telephone Companies of
Pennsylvania, thus renewing an
agreement of some years standing
which has worked to the entire sat-
isfaction of both companies.
The new arrangement give the sub
scribers of the Honesdale exchange
district of the Consolidated Telephone
Co. favorable rates into the Big
Eddy Telephone Co.'S territory, while
the latter companys subscribers en-
joy telephone privileges that they
have not had heretofore. The new
arrangement Is therefore mutually
advantageous and will encourage
both companies to do all that is nee
essary to meet successfully the rapid
ly growing telephone needs of this
community.
The following Pennsylvania points
can be reached over the Big Eddy
Telephone Cos lines, viz: Abra-
Evansville, Atco, Beach Lake, Boyd 8
Mills, Bramans, Calkins, Damascus,
Equinunk, Fallsdale, Galilee, Grid
land, Indian Orchard, Kellams, Look
out, Milanville, Rileyville, Rutledge-
dale, Tyler Hill, Torrey and West Da-
mascus; the following N. Y. State
points can also be reached, viz: Cal
licoon, Cochecton Center, Hankins,
Lake Huntingdon, Narrowsburg and
Tanners Falls, all Of which points
are located directly on the Big Eddy
Company's lines, which furthermore
connect with a number of other rural
telephone lines in Sullivan county.
Thomas S. Boyd, local Superin-
tendent of the Consolidated Tele-
phone Co. was until recently the
Manager of the Big Eddy Telephone
Cos lines.
The merchants and professional
men of Honesdale are naturally in
terested in the growth and develop
ment of telephone service in the
rural districts, for it brings town
and county into close business rela-
/ tion to the mutual advantage of
both. For this reason the Consoli-
dated Telephone Cos Honesdale,

contains list of the Big Eddy Tele-
| phone Co.'S subscribers.

At that moment there was a crash.
Holmes opened the door and step

he called out to the man who lay in
a tumbled heap at the bottom of the

Holmes. Your mouth has certain

"Yes, l play golf. My name is

Holmes frightened up. The old
slueth-hound instincts awoke. In a
few moments he had the story from
McStingo. Four thousand golf balls
had been lost in two weeks.

Changes in the Carbondale ID. & HI
ShODs

Despite the fact that Master Mech
anic Reed stated when he took that
position that there would positively
be no changes in the force at the
Carbondale shops, the rumor that
there was to be a general cleaning
up is coming true.
Joseph brennan, for many years
foreman at the locomotive shops, was
let out on Saturday, and it is freely
rumored that a number of other
heads will fall as soon as competent
men are found to take their places.
MIR. brennan Is already considering
flattering offers from outside the city.
He has been in the employ of the
Delaware and Hudson company for
many years. He was prominently
mentioned for master mechanic when
NJ. J. Powers resigned to go with the
Denver and Rio Grand railroad.

THE CAMERA.
Some of the Wonderful Things of
Which it is Capable.

Which it is Capable.
The camera, which divides time
into thousandths of a second and re-
cords the impressions of each, makes
permanent pictures of events which
pass too quickly for the dull human
retina to recognize. 1t is only
through the camera that the motions
of the wings of flying birds and of
the legs of swift running animals
have been analyzed. To the camera
the fuzzy drivers of the swiftly
speeding locomotives stand out clear
cut and stationary, while each fly
ing drop of rain in the driven storm
is distinct and seems frozen in it's
place. The tarpon fisherman, fa-
miliar with the first wild leap of the
frenzied fish as it casts hook and bait
fifty feet in the air, sees first in the
finished picture the outstretched gills,
the convulsive opening and closing
of which had escaped his eye, how
ever closely he may have looked for
it.

MODEL ORCHARDS.
A Model Orchard to be Established in
Every Community

Every Community.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture announces that it proposes to
establish model orchard in every
fruit growing community throughout
the State, similar to the work it has
been doing on the farm of Fred Fas-
sett, of Meshoppen township, for
some time. The plan, as announced
by Prof. Surface, State Economic
Zoologist, is to invite applications
from farmers who would be willing
to follow instructions and conduct
their orchards in an up-to-date man
ner. Applications first received will
be given the preference. The State
promises to guarantee the farmer
from all possible loss resulting from
the carrying out the ideas of the De-
partment as applied to the conduct
of the orchard, 1t will also pay part
of the cost of spraying, apparatus,
etc. All that is asked in return is
that the State be allowed to conduct
demonstrations Of a public nature
from time to time, hoping to convince
the fruit growers of the expediency
of adopting the latest and best meth
ods.

A Dangerous Spot.

l wish you would occasionally re-

gerous condition of the road near
the residence Of Carl F. Prosch.
Young ladies coming from their work
that are employed in Clark's, or the
decorating factory, are in fear of
being run down by team or automo-
bile. The road is very dark, and
only narrow place to walk. Only a
few evenings ago a young lady only
saved herself by pressing close to the
board fence when an auto came one
way and a spirited. horse the other.

Right Reverend Monsignor Nc
Andrew of Wilkes-Barre, died sud-
denly on Wednesday morning of
heart trouble. He was born in New
York City in 1852, moved to Hawley
where he spent his young manhood
days, winning the love and esteem
of all who knew him. He was or
dained in 1877 and has labored
earnestly and very successfully in
the regions surrounding Scranton
and .Wilkes-Barre, making for him
self a reputation as man of God
that is imperishable. He was a man
of deepest and broadest charity.
Race, creed, or nationality made no
difference with him. In his eyes all
mankind was created after the image
of God, and he lived toward his fell
low man accordingly. Although he
possessed great energy, his health had
been virile. He had weak heart,
and when the ceremony attending
the investiture of his new Office took
place, he contracted a cold which
resulted in neuralgia, which attack
ed his heart, resulting in death.

THE ONION CROP

Onion seed are cheap, and for start
ing a general crop it is better to use
seeds than sets. Onion sets will pro-
duce green onions of a size suitable
for table use much earlier in the
spring than will the seed, but they
cost more and are more difficult to
plant, and should not be used for gen
eral crop work.
The land for the onion bed should
be plowed in the fall or early winter,
and should be given surface cultiva-
ton just before planting the seed in
the spring. Unless the ground is new
md very fertile, it will pay well to
give the land dressing of well-rotted
barnyard manure. A good plan is to
grow a crop of cowpeas on the ground
In late summer, and pillow them under
in early fall. The ground will then be
In ideal condition for receiving an
onion crop in the early spring. With
the seed-bed thoroughly prepared, the
opportunities for a good crop are
greatly increased.
The seed should be drilled in rows
about Is inches apart. The common
garden drill is the best tool that can
be used for this work. 1t is indispen-
sible, if large planting is TO be made,
for the garden work; however, small
rows can be laid out with the hoe or a
stick and the seed drilled in by hand,
scattering the seed quite thickly in
The row. Cover with moist soil, and
firm the soil well down around the
seed. The seed should be planted no
deeper than is necessary to place
them in contact with moist soil. In
no case should they be planted more
than an inch and half or two inches
deep. If they can not be placed in
moist soil IL inches below the sur
face, it is better to plant them deeper
than onS inch and wait for a rain to
bring them up.
Onion seed should be tested before
planting. The seed deteriorates rap
idly with age, and If 1t shows poor
sprouting, new seed should be OBJ
tanned or an approximate larger guam
tity should be planted. The seed
terminates slowly, and it is frequent
y advisable to soak the seed in warm
water "a hours before planting. About
six or seven pounds of seed will plant
)ne acre of ground in the manner de-
;cribed above.
The land should be cultivated as
