There is a difference of opinion
among ranchers regarding the pulling
ability of each horse In team Some
are of the opinion that the horse ahead
is pulling the most and vice versa
The draft on each horse depends
entirely on the relative lengths of the
lever arms and the lengths of the
lever arms depend on the position of
the clevis pins with respect to the
draw pin In upper diagram a. the
cievis pins and the draw pin are in a

1t is one or the other considered

Selection of the Boar

No~matter how many sows are kept
on the farm the selection OF the boar
Is of great Importance. There are
many pure bred hogs in all parts of
the country, SO there is no reason for
the use of scrub boar by anyone.
says the Swineherd
The character of the get of scrub
boar is guesswork. whereas with the
pure bred boar there is some assur-
once that his get will be uniform and
of a quality indicated by his ances-
tors. When possible the board should
be selected on the place where he was
raised.

Abnormal June of 1870.

Though during the past few days
the month of roses has partly re-
trieved her reputation. yet there was
year, according to the Sussex Reg
lister, when she was far unkinder
than this. 1t says:
Is this another year without a
summer? Still, conditions might be
worse than they are. 1t is recorded
that in June, 1770, frost and snow
destroyed the crops in this part of the
country, says Rev. Nathan Karr. who
was then pastor of the Presbyterian
church, Goshen. The tradition comes
down to us that in the midst of the
desolation, he lifted his voice in
prayer with his people saying 20
God, our corn is blasted! Our fruit
is all cut on Our flax is caught
under the snow so that we ishail
soon have neither shirt nor shift!
And what.soh God, dost thou intend

THE 1910 MILK SITUATION.
Large Increase i'm Receipts ovep~Iast
Year Reported.

Market receipts for last month
amounted to l 1,405,S62 cans of milk
with 95,66S cans of cream and un-
sweetened condensed, says the Ma
tional Milk Reporter. Compared
with receipts for the corresponding
month one year ago this is respec-
tive increase of 1915 and 1888
cans, the whole equal to 119,41O
cans of plain milk, daily average
of 3,S52.
Market price from May l to date
and until otherwise announced,
cents quart-$l.20 per can. Bor-
denis price for May and June,
S1.10la per can, respectively.
That the present output is largely
in excess of the needs of the market
goes without saying. But the price
of butter and cheese are high and
consequently the loss not heavy on
goods that must be manufactured.
Dealers complain of slow sales,
due to unfavorable conditions. The
arrival of a prolonged hot wave
one that understood its business
would so stimulate sales that the
surplus would soon dwindle to small
proportions.

COMPANY FOR BREACH OF
CONTRACT VERDICT MEETS
WITH LOCAL APPROVAL.

The jury in the case of Russell
T. Whitney VS.. the Lake Lodore I'm
provement company, in which the
plaintiff sued for damages of $1,000
because, as he alleged, the defend
ant wouldn't furnish him ice under
the Honesdale Ice company contract
Whitney took over when he
bought out the latter, handed a
sealed verdict Saturday to Judge
Stewart of Easton who presided at
the trial. They gave Mr. Whitney
$3.50. He had expected from S2,-
900 to $4,000 and he is said to be
suited by the verdict.
The verdict meets with general
approval in Honesdale, where every
user of ice was compelled to pay ex-
orbitant prices on account of the
Lake Lodore peoples refusal to
honor the contract Mr.. Whitney
took over from the Honesdale Ice
company.
The lawyers were Homer Greene
and Charles A. McCarty for the
plaintiff and Frank P. Kimble and

AS a result of a new order just
issued on the Erie railroad a change
is TO be made in the system of is
suing passes to employees.
Orders have been received from
general headquarters that all men
who have been in the service of the
company for 35 years or more are
entitled to an annual pass for them
selves and their wives.
The department heads are asked
to forward to New York a list of
the employees entitled to such a pass.
