Body of Man Distributed From Har-
riman to Narrowsburg on Erie.


A ghastly discovery was made by
Erie Track Foreman G. Metchel near
Tusten early Thursday morning.
While walking along the tracks he
found the arm and leg of a man and
later the remainder of the body man
gled, was discovered near Narrows-
burg, three miles west of the place
where the arm and leg were picked
up.
1t is believed by the Erie officials,
says the Port Jervis Gazette, that
sometime during the night the man
had attempted to board a freight
train and that he slipped and his leg
and arm went across the rail and
were cut off and the body was drag
ged to Narrowsburg by the train.
From papers found in the mans
clothes it is believed his name is c..
e. DeKamp, of Tuscarora, near Ro-
chester, N. Y. The body was taken
in charge by the officials at Mar
rowsburg.
At ten O'Clock the Erie station
agent at Hartman found one leg
of a man lying on the eastbound
| track, directly in front of the sta
| ton. 1t had been torn from the
body at the hip The switching crew
searched the track both ways a dis
tance of several miles and failed to
find the body. The supposition at
Hartman is that a train from the
west had struck the man and torn
the leg off and carried it to that
point.
The leg found at Hartman nc
doubt belonged to the man found
mangled at Narrowsburg.

Winter Spraying.

Pennsylvania State Zoologist, H.
A. Surface, is responsible for the
statement that the spraying for the
San Jose scale, Peach-twig borers,
Woody aphis, Apple aphis, Tent cat
erpilar, Leaf blister-mite and GER
tain other insects and diseases,
which is generally done in the early
spring, can be done just as well and
effectively at any time while the
trees are dormant, without any in
Jury to the trees, If the proper ma
terial is used. He says that the
best material for the destruction of
these pests, and also one which is
absolutely free from danger of in
jury to the trees is the concentrated
lime-sulfur solution, either home
boiled or commercial. If the latter
is used it should be tested with a
hydrometer, such as can be had, with
full directions, from the Carbondale
Instrument company, to the specific
gravity test of 1.03.
The home-boiled lime sulfur solu-
ton Is cheaper, and chemically the
same as the commercial 1t Is
made by boiling two pounds of
ground sulfur of any kind in pow
dered form, with. two pounds of fresh
stone lime, and one gallon of water,
for one hour. Use this proportion of
material to boil larger quantity.
Any vessel but copper can be used
for the boiling, and requires no ex-
pert knowledge nor skill to make 1t.

Praise For Mayor McCarty.

Democrats and good citizens gen.

is a familiar figure, representing his
home county at such gatherings. In

Destroy Remnants of Garden Plants
NOW

Destroy Remnants of Garden Plants
Now.
Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoolo-
gist, Harrisburg, calls attention to
the Importance of promptly destroy
ing the remnants of garden plants
and truck crops at this time of year,
rather than leaving them in the
gardens or fields until spring. If
destroyed now, many of their pests
are destroyed with them; if allowed
to remain until spring, many of
these pests have opportunity to es-
cape.
The vines of potatoes, cucumb bers,
squash, melons, ETC., should be raked
together and thrown on dry straw or
brush and burned. This gets rid of
both the insects and fungous dis
eases lurking therein. The old as
paragus plants should be cut off and
burned, and straw spread over the
asparagus bed and burned thereon
at once to get rid of the asparagus
beetles, and then the soil contain
ing the asparagus roots can be we'll
mulched with cover or litter of any
kind to protect them during the win
ter.
1t is especially important that the
SJalkS OF caDDaBe plantS and the I'M
perfect heads should be removed and
fed to swine or cattle, or kept in
storage in a cold place to feed to
poultry during the winter. Even
the old stalks from which heads have
been cut should be removed from
the soil and treated as directed
above, or burned. Several kinds OF
pests are liable to be found upon
these old stubs or the leaves clingine
thereto. The best way to destroy
them is to feed them to livestock OF
burn them.
