BEAUTY OF MOUNTAIN LAND.
Air, Water, Earth and Skes-The
Mystery and Glory

The long, toilsome climb. straining
upon the horses. lifting by dead
weight, gets at last above the heat
and almost above the clouds. 1t is
summer, gentle. subdued, delicious,
that surrounds you. instead of the hot
breath of an over-heated furnace. You
breath of an over-heated furnace.
You live again after sizzling
ON the fiery gridiron. You breathe
in the suave, delicious odors of
wild things that grow by the noun
tain roadside--sassafras, wild grape
and sweet fern. The pine forests be-
gin to grow dark and dense, and above
them appear the rich blue crowns of
the nights.
1t is the region of the mountain lau-
rel and the rhododendron, and the
depth of the forest glades where the
sun steals, twinkle with brilliantly
varnished leaves. You dream of the
June onehantment, when clouds of
pink and white shone against the dark
LEAKAGE over hundreds of acres of wild
land. We rise to the pine and hem
lock groves where the black and white
birch mingle their graceful sprays; but

the mountain lover. and we may re-
joice that our people have not learned

own, it is wildness, seclusion, secrecy.
remoteness. that we love. with little
of the instinct of the primitive man
and woman. We come to lake and
waterfall and mountain stream with
an appetite that is never satiated. 1t
is never ending joy to leave the low
valleys where we live habitually. and,
as we climb to look back upon them
batheG in delicate rose and blue per-
spective, as we hope to look back on
this mortal life when we get to heav

Mountain verdure has perpetual
freshness. a delicate charm the low
lands do NOT know. II is the spirit of
wildness and unrestraint that enters
into an upland forms and breathes an
exquisite freedom. There are fewer
shades of verdure than in the rich
valleys with fat soil. but those there
have a careless grace that nothing
cultivated can attain. The great led
ges, purple and gray, the beds of pine
needles, cleaning. orange, the splendor
of the MOSES, and the airy delicacy
of the ferns and wild vines are inimi-
table.
E The rocks nourish little colonies of
plants where a spoonful of soil has
been lodged by the wind-fragile, deli
cate things. clinging with frail feet to
the ctevices, poisoning in the cram

breeze. embroidering the dangerous
cliffs no human foot has trod. The
courage and persistence of plant life
to adorn barren places and perpetuate
itself must fill us with admiration for
the marvellous instinct nature has inn
planted in the feeblest of her children.

Gaining Popular Favor.

Mr.. Mcclure handles this subject
from the practical as well as the scien-
tifc standpoint, and say as follows:
"The production and proper care of
milk and cream require a great deal of
attention by health officials during the
summer season. This includes the
use of these materials in the manufac-
ture of ice cream. This product is
gaining in popular favor year by year,
enormous quantities of it being con
sumed, and consequently it's manufac-
ture and handling must be well guard
ed. Last year the Legislature of this
State amended the creamery act, and
made its provisions applicable to the
manufacture of ice cream. Each op-
orator must now secure a license from
the State Board of Health before he is
permitted to engage in the business,
and in order to obtain said license he
must comply with the provisions of
chapter 139 of the laws of 1906, and
the rules of the board governing the
manufacture of this food product.
Some of the principal requirements of
the law are: That there shall be no
direct communication with a dwelling
or kitchen; that there shall be imper-
vious floors properly graded and drain
ed; smooth inferior surfaces; ade-
quate cleansing facilities; clean con-
tainers, etc..

Condemned Cows Removed.

After being tested for tuberculosis,
