Am6rlcdn oteel Chr company, OF flttS'
burg, has purchased the old Carter stock
farm at West Hickory and will convert il
into summer home. The farm covers
5000 acres and was formerly owned by
the McCabe Lumber Company, who re-
Gently finished cutting the timber on It,
It is the intention OF Mr.. Summers to re.
model the building and stock the farm
with registered cattle and angora goats
Mr.. and Mrs. Summers we're at the
Carver House today and the property
was formally turned over to them by the
lumber company.-Warren Times oi

The people of Clarion county are con-
siderably wrought up over the publica-
tion of notices In the local papers advis'
ing that certain persons will make ap-
plication for charter rights whereby they
expect to take over the water privileges
of the Clarion river for many miles. The
same applications will be made for privi-
leges along Tionesta creek in Tionesta,
Green. Kingsley and Howe townships,
and before these rights are granted the
people should know what is involved In
them, what use is to be made of them and
what rights will be left to the people after
the charters have been granted. These
are questions which the people would
like to have answered first. No one in
this community seems to be at all wise to
the scheme.
Among the orchard demonstrations
soon to be made in Pennsylvania under
the direction of the Division of Zoology
will bo one at the farm of j. L. Gsul,
near Msrienville, on the 10Th inst, and
one on the farm of John Il. Henderson,
Hickory township, on the 2lst OF April.
This work has been attracting wide at.
tenlion throughout the state, and public
interest in the matter Is rapidly increas-
ing. Forest county is peculiarly adapted
to the growing of fruit, especially apples,
and little education along this line is
bound to bring our fruit into prominence
and vastly increase the wealth of our
horticulturists, who will not be depend
ent upon the local market for their reve-
nue., but can easily work up demand
for their wares from far and wide.
Although it is too early to do much
at general road work, which must of
necessity be postponed until weather con-
fo 30
theless, not too early to do something in
that direction right away, and that is the
cleaning out of bitches here and there on
hill roads thus avoiding much of the
washing out of the sd-bed by the heavy
spring rains that are sure to come for the
next few weeks. A very little attention
of this kind now Will save very much
work and considerable expense a little
later on. And just now would be an ex
celent time for every farmer to provide
himself with one of those inexpensive
split-log drsgs, and during the summer,
when the roads are in the right condition
go often over that portion running
through or bordering his farm. The
trouble would be very little, requiring
but an hour or so at time, and the ex-
pense would be practically nothing, while
the sum total of Improvement would
be greater than can be made by any
board of supervisors, and the benefit to
each would overbslsnce the cost. Think
it over a minute and then act upon the
suggestion and see if you won't feel
thoroughly recompensed when fall comes.

event, taken from the Port Allegany, Pa,
