Washington.-Of interest to the
farmers OF northern Pennsylvania will
De report on soil conditions in that
section which has just been issued by
the department of agriculture. M. E.
Carr OF the bureau of soils has just
completed a survey Of soils in these
states and he deals with the manage
ment OF farms and the problems con-
fronting farmers.
The district covered by this report
comprises the section through which
for rs years there has been a steady
decrease In the farm population and a
marked decrease in the value Of farm
lands and improvements. The report
shows conclusively that these changes
are not due to any necessary deterior-
alton in the crop-producing power of
the soils, but has been brought about
by changes in the economic conditions
surrounding farm practice in the Sec
tion.- and principally by the steady
drift of the farming population toward
city employment and city pleasures.
1t contrasts sharply the deserted
abandoned farms of each community
with other farms, frequently within
sight, which are well titled. well cared
for and are furnishing their owners
not only good rate of interest on the
capital invested, but also good liv-
ing and good wages for the time ex-
pended in the cultivation of land
The report analyses the agricultural
conditions of the section and makes
suggestions from the experience OF
practical, successful farmers in meet
ing the conditions which have been
thrust upon the agricultural hill coun-
try of western New York, northern
Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio.

of these soils require tile drainage

Springfield, Mass.-The town of
Longmeadow, a suburb Of Springfield,

Nathan Webster, town blacksmith,

Rec!use of Peaked Mountain in

vide Hcme for Bride and on Ar
rival at Her Home Found
Sweetheart Just Died.

Bangor, Me.-Far up the valley of
Crooked river, in Washington county,
beyond the limits of the logging
camps, lives Jack WILDER, the hermit
of Peaked mountain, who for 13 years
has dwelt in solitude in log hut.
Something of mystery has always
surrounded this slender, pale faced re-
cluse, whose physique did not seem
strong enough to stand the hardships
of winter in the Maine woods, and
who in every way appeared untitled
for the life which he had chosen to
lead.
1t was known that WILDER had to his
credit $4,000 in local bank, and this
made his conduct all the more mex
plicable to those who knew of his
lonely existence.
The explanation has, however, been
provided by two lumbermen who re-
turned to Machias from trip through
the Crooked river valley, and who
partook one night of the hospitality
of the hermit.
MY uome WAS III lHS west, SAID
WILDER, land when l was yet a young

Stated in Cold Figures.

It costs on an average about $3.50
to cure an incipient consumptive or
70 care for an advanced case of tuber-
culosis until death. If he is left in des.
ttute circumstances without proper
attention he will surely infect with
his disease at least two other persons,
and possibly more. Considering that
the average life is worth to society
In dollars and cents about $500, the
net loss which would accrue to a COM
munity by not treating it's poor con-
sumptives in proper institutions would
be, for each case, including those who
are unnecessarily infected, at the very
lowest figure, $4,250. On this basis, If
the poor consumptives in the United
States who are now sick were segre.
gated from their families, and either
kept in institutions until they died, or
else cured of their disease, the say.
ing to the country would be the enor.
