TRENTON. Aug. 3-The PENNSYLVANIA

road companies. Notwithstanding that
the public utilities commissioners have
suspended until October the enforce
ment of the proposed new tariffs for

Pennsylvania has reduced the New

The increase to Philadelphia is Is cents

"pRY FARMING" EXPERIENCE.

friend related to uS the other day
the experience OF n Mississippi valley
farmer who went out into eastern
Montana year ago last spring and
took up or bought farm in the dry"
country. The first season. owing to
inadequate preparation OF the soil. he
raised barely enough to carry his few
animals through the winter. How
ever. this experience was valuable.
and last spring after reading all the
government and state bulletins he
could get hold Of on the subject of dry
farming be went 1T it again. In the
fall be- came into our friends office
and panked down sheaf or oats
from field which ne said yielded him
AT The rate of sixty-four bushels per
acre. which Is just about twice the
average yield Of oats the country over
The success Ot this young fellow was
not exceptional. we think. IL was the
direct result Of the application Of en-
ergy and brains and an open minded
ness which did not cause him to view
with contempt the labors of agricul-
tural college farmers. In fact. he at
tributes his success largely TO the help
got from the bulletins.

WATER PIPES EXPLODE.

Several householders of whom the
writer has read within the past few
weeks have had some narrow escapes
as result OF the bursting by steam
pressure OF water pipes connected with
their kitchen ranges. In one case the
man of the house had a hand blown
of at the wrist. while in another the
housewife had close call from a frag-
ment of the stove which was hurled
by the force of the explosion through
the panel of the door just back Of her.
Accidents of this kind are directly due
to the freezing or the water In the
pipes and a consequent shutting off or
any avenue Of escape for the steam
formed In the stove water front after
the starting or the fire in the morning.
And In a majority of cases the OBJ
structiOn will be found i'm the lead
pipe running from the stove to The
tank. II water in the receptacles in
the kitchen Is found frozen in the
morning 1t is u very safe precaution to
hold burning paper or lamp under
this connecting pipe to thaw It out be
fore fire is started in the stove.

Not long ago 1t was stated in some
quarters that only those ears of corn
should be selected for seed in which
the kernels cover the tip as fully as
possible, and this theory Is followed
quite closely today in the selection Of
seed Recently, however. one authori-
ty Of the corn plant expresses the opin-
ion that an ear that Is not filed within
an inch or SO OF the tip means that the
plant was from seed OF exceptional
vigor and laid large plans for corn
production. but that the conditions of
soil fertility. moisture or both were
such that the plant was not able to
bring these plans to completion. This
theory would seem to have considera-
BILE to commend it. In any case its
