"A Striking Comparison

gThe New York Central Lines have $685. 900 invested
for every mile of railroad in their system.
Gross earnings about $500 per day for each
mile-net earnings less than $500 per day per mile
Riding archaeological. steam-heated Pullman
trains via the New York Central Lines with barber
valet, stenographer dining and adequate corps
of servants-a the comforts of the home or club and
all the conveniences of the ooe-costs you from &c to
Sc per mile
Riding in Taxicab the New York or Chicago
costs about oOc per mile
The New York Central Lines pay annually $4,000
per mile IN wages, $4,000 per mile for supplies besides
millions In State, City and County taxes.
In using such striking comparison no reflection on
other business activities is INTENDED
But should the public deny fair profit to business
merely because it presents big figures in its totals?
Is not the investor entitled fair return on the money
ne and maintain these great public utilities?

LARGE POULTRY
FARM At ESPY

George B. Markle, the wealthy in.
dependent coal operator of Hazleton.
who is well known in this city, has
purchased farm at Espy, Columbia
county, where he intends to go into the
chicken raising business OIL a gigantic
scale.
The farm comprises l73 acres and
WAS not bought merely because Of the
excellent shipping facilities it affords,
but for the reason that it was once the
property Of Markle ancestor.
Mr. Markle expects to raise ITO, 600
chickens during the first year.
The farm will be stocked, first with
white Wyandottes, white Ofpingtons,
Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island
Reds. Leghorns and MinoIcas. Egg
production will not be the sole object
Of breeding, but will simply figure as
part of general plan. -
Scientists have figured out that some
thing like total Of $50 eggs measures
the greatest possible production Of a
single hen, and the Espy policy will
be to feed only the birds that show a
tendency to produce this total in the
fewest years.
Incubation will be far less burden
some at Espy than it generally is in
the farming districts. Electricity will
be used exclusively, and incubators
will be kept going the whole year
around.
Mr.. Markle has had an experimental
poultry farm in Sugarloaf Valley, near
Hazleton, but this will probably be
abandoned for the Espy enterprise. 1t
will be the aim of Mr.. Markle to raise
birds and supply eggs principally for
the New York and Philadelphia mark
ct and he will give the business the
same careful attention that he would
any other enterprise conducted for
profit.

FOR CENSUS
ENUMERATORS

The examination for census enumer-
ators for Montour county was held
in this city on Saturday, twenty-five
applicants being in the class. The
examination was held in the high
school room 1t was under the rules Of
the civil service and was conducted
by Ralph B. Diehl, secretary Of the
local civil service board.
The census supervisor Of this dis
trict is Benjamin Apple, of Sunbury.
There are fourteen -'enumerators need
ed In Montour county. This,it might
be supposed, implies ono for each vot-
ing precinct but such is not the case.
In the first and third wards of Dan
vile each. owing to the larger popu-
lation, the work Of taking the census
will be divided between two enumer.
ators. Conversely in some SPARSE
ly-settled rural districts, two town
ships will be given to one enumerator
There was no scarcity of applicants
as was evidenced by the size Of the
some from Northumberland county,
living near the south side, who on
the advice of Supervisor Apple, took
the examination here as more conven-
lent. The latter are, of course, ap-
plicants for positions in Northumber-
land county. In the class among
others were applicants from Washing
tonville and White Hall
Those who anticipated an easy ex-
animation were mildly disappointed;
yet there was nothing whatever i'm
practicable about the questions The
idea seemed to be not so much to
test the educational ability of the ap-
pllcant as his general intelligence and
Judgment, that would enable him to
satisfactorily perform the duties of
census enumerator. Each applicant
was given a supposed case, in which
occurred practically all the different
kinds of data that he would be called
upon to make a separate and special
account of. He was supplied with
blank which he was required to fill
out, thereby demonstrating his ability
and general fitness for the work. Those
who took the examination for the ru-
raj districts and had the agricultural
sheet to handle had by far the heav-
ier part of it; beginning at $50 a.
M, they did not finish until 80 p.
M, where the applicants for urban
districts got through in about three |
hours.
The class was made up of males ex-
,lusively, the most of the applicants
being men of some experience in oler.
cal work.
Following the examination Mr.
Oiehl forwarded the papers to Census
supervisor Benjamin Apple, by whom
hey will be examined. 1t will prob
'bly be some time before the appoint
nents will be made.

HUNGRY RABBITS
PEE[|NG TREES

The earth being covered with snow
in many sections of Pennsylvania, and
not all the rabbits having fallen VIC.
Tins last fall to the gunners, numer-
GUS complaints are being received by
the Division of Zoology of the Penn
sylvania Department Of Agriculture,
in regard to trees being damaged and.
destroyed by rabbits preying upon the
bark. One grower in Westmoreland
county wrote to State Zoologist II. A.
Surface, stating that of 200 trees,
planted one, two and three years ago,
and which made nice growth, quito
a number have had their bark peeled
off by rabbits He asked for some SIM
pie remedy to prevent this destruction
and made this further inquiry:
Would black, roof paint-some-
thing of coal tar nature-be injur-
ious to the trees? l have tried it ON a
few trees, and the rabbits have not
worked on such trees and this would
be an easy way to stop them, but 1
am afraid might injure the trees by
such an application.
The advice of Professor Surface was
to the following effect:
Replying to your recent letter ask
ing how to prevent rabbits from peel
ing your young trees, 1 beg to say
that the chief thing to do is to cut
some branches from tIees that need
pruning (from either these or older
trees, and drop the branches on the
snow where the rabbits can ge at
them. The next thing is to paint the
'runks of your young trees with pure
white lead and good quality of raw
linseed oil.
Painting or spraying with lime
sulphur wash, or with the sediment
that is left from boiling Iime-sulphur
wash for San Jose scale, will also pre-
vent injury for some time Some per-
sons recommend killing a rabbit and
its insides over the trunks of
the trees. Blood painted or sprayed on
the trunks of trees is often used to re.
pei them. Personally, prefer either
the paint or the lime-sulphur wash
above. l have tried both, in
our experiments on my own trees,
with good results.
Coal tar might be all right, but l
know where nice orchard of young
apple trees was killed by painting
with coal tar and linseed oil, and
hesitate to recommend this on that &C,
count. 1 have never tried it ON my own
trees, and l am satisfied with the eff
cacy of the linseed oil aud white lead
