Stopping Crows from Pulling Corn.

A farmer of one of the central
counties wrote to State Zoologlst
ii. A. Surface, Harrisburg, about
soaking corn IN either coal tar or
dilute carbollc acid to keep crows
from pulling up newly.planted
corn. He said that he suffered
much damage in past years
through the depredations of
crows, and wants to get ahead of
them this year.
Professor Surfaces answer to
this letter contained the follow
ing:
at is commonly reported that
corn should be soaked a few min
utes in water containing a solu-
ton of coal tar or gas tar, and
then spread and allowed to dry.
This will make the corn so bitter
that the crows will be suspicious
of it and will not eat 1t for fear of
being poisoned. l presume di-
lutte carbolic acid would serve the
same purpose, but am not GER.
tain about this.
Different devices have been re-
commended to keep the crows
from pulling corn, one Of which
is strings stretched around and
across tho corn field. 1t is also
recommended to SOW corn on top
of the ground about the time it
commences to shoot through the
soil, in order to feed the crows at
this time, SO they will not pull the
grain that Is planted. 1t is best
for a person TO try one OF more
methods and make a practice Of
that which he finds best"

MAGNANlM0US GIFT.
Mrs. B. F. Jones, OF Pittsburg, Offers
Her Magnificent Cottage at Cresson
for Use of Tuberculous Poor.

AS an expression of her inter-
est IN the States work for the tn
berculous poor, Mrs. b. f. Jones,
widow of the Pitts burg steel man
ufacturer, has offered Health
Com missioner Dixon her magni-
6cent cottage and grounds at
Cresson. 1t lies close by the
tract OF land given the Com mon
wealth by Andrew Carnegie for
its Western Sanatorlum for tu-
berculosis.
The cottage which Is said to
have originally cost about S19, 900
is large enough to accommodate
at least 20 tuberculous patients
and 20 time will be lost in getting
1t ready for such occupancy. AS
the cottage is IN good repair, this
will not take long so that the ben
efts of the high altitude and
healthy climate of Cresson will
soon be enjoyed by a number of
poor sufferers. In the meantime
the Sanatorium buildings on the
Carnegie tract will be rapidly
pushed forward.
The lot on which the % story
Jones cottage stands Is about 100
feet front aud $50 feet deep.
There are in all thirteen bed
rooms IN the building, most of
them large and comfortable, with
big bay windows into which the
sun may pour it's healing rays.
Wide porches almost surround
the cottage. Here the patients
may sit IN their rest chairs enjoy
ing the pure mountain air and
having view of surrounding
country whose scenic beauty is
unsurpassed.
Mrs. Jones gift to the Com
monwealth, like that of Mr.. Car
negle, is particularly gratifying
in that 1t shows the complete con
hdence that exists in the States
campaign against tuberculosis.

What punishment should be in.
flicted upon the person who would
deliberately set fire to his neigh.
boris barn, destroy the building
and contents, and burn to death
the owner of the property while
the owner was trying to save his
property? Any one guilty of a
crime like that, would find no

the fire out, and in some instances
cause their death? Only last
Thursday, James Bell, a proml-
nent lumberman who lived on the
north side of North mountain in
Cum mberland county, died from
burns received whil fighting tire
in the mountain near his home a
few weeks ago.
In fighting the fire, he was sud
denly surrounded by flames and
much Of his clothing was burned
from his body before he could be
rescued. His sufferings were
great until death relieved HIM.
Mr.. Bell was sixty-five years
old and is survived by a wife and
seven children. He was the first
and only human victim OF these
many disastrous mountain fires.
The time Is here when more
drastic measures must be taken
with those who fire the mountains
and when few are hanged, and
the rest sent TO the penitentiary,
that class of persons will learn
that they cannot destroy other
peoples property and escape

feet beam and travelling at an altitude
of 5000 feet will carry thirty passen-

Furthermore, Herr Rettig is negO-

"Reckoning that the trade winds
which, it is established, blow across
the Atlantic at height of 5000 feet

(Which is not uncommon) and calcu-
