A New Poultry Instructor.
The College OF Agriculture of West
Virginia University has secured the
services of Stuart A. Cody, as an in
structor of Poultry Husbandry for the
coming year. Mr.. Cody is a graduate
of Cornell University and for the last
several years has been manager of a
large pultry farm at Pan Yam, N. Y.
The college training and practical ex-
perience that Mr.. Cody has had has
certainly fitted him for the position
he win fill. He will assist Prof. At
wood at the Experiment Station as
vel las give instruction at the Univer-
sity. The poultry industry in West
Virginia is attracting attention of
many farmers sons. and 1t is the in.
tention of the College to provide them
with most up-to-date and practical in
formation that will be of benefit to
them in making this commendable
work profitable.
School Of Agriculture.
The West Virginia University offers
a course in agriculture TO young men
and home economics to young women
who have a common school education
and are sixteen years old. This school
opens September 16 and closes March
81 in time for the students to get back
to the farm for the spring work. The
course is practical and Is given by ex-
pert instructors who have well equip
ped laboratories Libraries, green
houses, gardens, dairy and poultry
plants at their service. The expenses
for the two terms do nor exceed $3.50.
Several other courses are given at
the Agricultural College, put this par
ticular one reaches many young men
and women of the State to whom the
other coureses do not appeal.
Money In Peaches.
A fruit grower from our little nelgn-
boring State, Delaware, told reps
resentative of the Agricultural Col
lege of West Virginia University that
during the year of 1911 he netted an
income OF $3.50 from one hundred
and sixty-nine peach trees. Is 1t any
wonder that the thoughts of the City
Cousin" turned longing to the old fam,
lily orcharde of his boyhood days. He
should remember however, that the
old happy-go-lucky methods followed
in his grandafther's orchard will never
produce such profits as his plant en-
up-to-date business principles.
Peach YelIows.
"How can | tell whether my orchard
is affected by peach yellows, and what
is the remedy" J. f. II.
Peach yellows can be detected by
several signs. Early in the season
short bushy shoots grow from the
large limbs of the trees. A little later
the fruit will ripen premarurely, will
be highly colored and will have red
streaks running like flesh. The vel
lowing of the foliage is also an indi
cation of the presence or the disease
The only remedy is to cut the trees
and burn them on the spot. Do moi
drag them through the orchard as this
will spread the disease.

The Mourning Squirrel.

A physician, who lives near one of
the parks in Waterloo, Iowa, has long
had an especial interest in a pair of
squirrels which made their home in
tree within sight of his house.
One day he noticed that one of this
pair was running up and down a
certain tree in the park, meanwhile
chattering in the greatest excite.
ment.
Finally the little fellow appeared
on a branch, holding between his
paws the severed head of his mate,
over which he was moaning and
whining pitifully.
On investigation. it appeared that
the dead squirrel had been caught
and actually decapitated by limb
split off from the tree by a storm
of the night before.
The erief-stricken mate would not
abandon the body all that day, and
mourned over the severed head
with an intensity and absorption
which seemed almost human, with
a depth of emotion, indeed, of
which some human beings are hard
ly capable The Youths Compan-

It's In the Sun" and It's So.

We are glad to note that the Sun,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is aiding
the splendid efforts of the Humane
Society in that city by publishing
such a timely editorial as the fol-
lowing, under the title, Sense of
Decency in treatment of Horses"
We would like to see these words
reprinted in every daily newspaper
in the country. Says the Sun:
Isn't it fine distinction for hu-
man beings that organizations have
to be maintained to prevent some
OF them from being cruel to to the
dumb brutes? Every now and then
we hear of driver being fined for
beating his team or for working an
imals that are too sick or too de-
crepit to be fit for service. And yet
these same individuals doubtless
would pray increasingly for mercy
for themselves if they were suffer-
ing. 1t is the same as if they were
being tormented and treated with
out mercy by beings who had as
much power over us as we have
over horses. Let every driver re-
fleet upon it in this light. There is
nothing more cowardly than abus-
ing dumb animals, you will nearly
always notice that there is a defici-
ency in the courage of the individ-
ual who does so when he is put to
the test. So it is gratifying that
those teamsters who have no mercy
in their makeup are of such cow
ardly dispositions that coming
through the hands of humane agents
once is about enough for them.
So much for the lack of decency

Found a Fortified Cat.

A few days ago while workmen
were engaged in tearing down an
old cabin on the farm of Paul White,
of Fabius township, the petrified re-
mains of a full grown cat were
found in the rafters of the building.
While the cabin had been remodel
ed and added to, the original part
in which the cat was found was
built as near as can be told, some
eighty years ago. The cat must
have crawled into the building
while it was in course of construc-
ton, was in some manner caught in
the rafters and walled in. The
frame work of the animal is intact
and it is as hard and dry as a bone.

in the treatment of teams. Now
for what the humane society calls
the application of sense and intelli-
gence:
Don't put the same load on your
horse when the thermometer is at
80 as you do when it is just above
the freezing point.
Don't fail when the horse shows
signs of becoming overheated to ap-
ply ice to the head so as to reduce
the temperature.
Don't lash your horse when he
is doing the best he can, and feed
him properly. He is entitled to a
good living in return for the work
he does for YOU"
These are good things to remem-
Der and every citizen should exert
himself in the interest of humane
treatment for the lower animals
whenever he can.-The Dumb Ami
mails.

New $40 Counterfeit Bill.

Washington. D. c., Aug. ga
new counterfeit of the 500 gold GER
tificate of the 1906 series has been
discovered by the Secret Service,
and banks throughout the country
have been warned against it.
The counterfeit apparently is
printed from photo-mechanical
plates of crude workmanship on
two pieces of paper, between which
short pieces of heavy blue silk have
been massed.
The portrait of Washington is so
poor. Acting Chief Moran says, that
it should lead to the immediate de-
lection. 1t bears check letter d.

The telephone bell rang and gen.

down from the third floor, where
she had been getting the children's

"Yes?"
The distant speaker paused a mo-

truth had begun to dawn upon her
that illmannered people are apt to
find the road of life hard and rough.
At last, in a chastened and subdued
voice, she asked:

DOC" FOSTER IS OLDEST MAN
 IN HOME
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Doe" Foster, dean of the Has. sayamper colony of the Pioneers Home, entered his ninetietb year yes. terday, and the remarkable event was duly celebrated by his pioneer col. leagues on the hill.
 This nonogcnarian ranks as the old. est member of the home, and consider. ing the privations and hardships of his early day life in Arizona, when he was a freighter in and out of Prescott in the sos, the endurance of his physical vitality is wonderful and today he is as 1.-the and agile on foot as those of one-half his age, in fact, as he tersely expressed it yes terday, "Give me rope and will strangle any of lem in climbing a hill half mile high, and watch me go up"
 MT. Foster has never been i'll a day in the long years that have rolled by, with but one exception, and that about thirty years ago, when n Mis souri mule let go with both hind feet and broke both legs above the knees. In speaking of this mishap he recalled the name of Dr. Fred c Ainsworth. who at that time was stationed a, Fort wbipple, and who was summoned to Walnut Grove to reduce the fracture.
 The operation was performed with ncatncss and dispatch. and from then to this day. both limbs have been n, useful as if nothing had occurred, at testing to the splendid surgical abil fly of this famed old time practition CT. The Dr. Ainsworth of that era has passed from n professional to a high military rank. and is now Adiut ant General of the army, stationed al Washington. and his memory is still cherished by scores of old Arizona friends. Mir. Foster stated yesterda, that his goal is now set at the cen tury mark. and his pace is steady al the scratch for the big race that II on.
