Pennsylvania Convention

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 2.-Only
a few of the county organizations and
the state administration and federal
patronage remain today as basis for
the recuperation of the strength OF
Senator Boise Penrose. ousted by VIII
liam Finn as republican state leader.
The republican state convention,
with Rooseveltism as its watchword,
has wiped out all vsstige of the Phil
adelphia senator's control. Although
Penrose followers were showed under.
JamesrP McNichols' parting remark
to VIM. Finn was suggestive. Nc
Nichols is Penrose's right hand man.
| "We still have a few muskets left,
he said.
Politicians here today said that this
indicated that the Penrose organiza-
tion has not given up the idea of re-
gaining the lost prestige. They figure
that the Finn ascendancv is but tenn
porary and that they will be able to
defeat the new leaders in the next
contest.
Organization papers today declared
! that Finn. F. A. Van Valkenburg' and
Mayor Magee of Pittsburgh were
swept into power solely upon the
! Roosevelt sentiment and when this
has worn off Penrose will again have
control of the state.

N FOR
the Farm and Fires

l'oilowing Is an extract from an ar
ticle showing how an important farmer
near Boston derives great financial
benefit from the city:
To-day there are in Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Maine farms as
truly scientific as any in Ohio. ndian
or Iowa. In the far eastern part OF
Massachusetts, where the land Is sup
posed to have run out long ago, there
is the farm Of Mrs. John Cummings.
which shows what can be done in even
this section of the country farm
ing is undertaken as n business propo-
sition.
THE operations on Cummings
place. an estate of some 400 acres in
Woburn. about IL miles north OF Bos-
ton. are conferred around pork raising.
The year around. there are on the av-
erage 1900 or 1000 hogs being raised
for market.
The feeding of these 1000 hogs is no
small undertaking. On the Cummings
farm, as ON most others In the vicinity
where pork is raised. the hogs are fed
altogether on swill from the suburbs
of Boston. On this one farm they use
all the swill from Medford. a city OF
$4,000, and a large share of the swill
from the polite and effete city OF Cam
bridge. At present two large four
horse wagons do nothing but carry this
garbage for he pigs, and 1t IL hoped
that they will soon have automobile
trucks for the same purpose. SWill is
considered the most satisfactory fodder
among the pork raisers of this vicinity
so satisfactory, in fact. that in bid
dinp for city swill the price has been
forced up until now 1t costs at 20 cents
a cubic foot. 1t comes dry. and very
seldom does 1t contain anything HARM
full. Only four or five times has a pig
been lost on the Cummings place, In
every case due to glass in the swill.
Another Instructive feature Of his
pig raising proposition is the bedding.
The Cumningses buy for their pigs all
the straw, stable litter and manure
from the stables of the largest de-
partlnent store In Boston. Jordan,
Marsh & Co. AS with the swill. it takes
two cams to cart this all the time.
Every day a fresh lot Of 1t Is pu in
each pigpen. The bedding of the day
before is spread on the land all over
the farm. The success they have with
crops here is in no small measure due
to the constant supply Of manure from
the h~oghouses. dairy barn and horse
stables.
A interesting feature Of this state
is the way the employees are cared
for. Seventeen. antilles live in houses
built for them on the place by Mrs.
Cummings. There is d delightful spirit
between the employer and the e,n-
ployed. and little of the trouble with
farm helm 80 common in this section
ever finds it's way into the Cummings
farm"

Bender. according to his account, re-
turned tn Mexico and went prospect

rested him as an American spy. Tho
rebels held him captive for eight
months, he said, and made him do the

II had heard of the foulness of Mex

there could be Il place so awful as
that into which ] was thrown" he said.
"One day the guards threw into my

that they would kill me. l killed the

was repeated"

Finally. said Bender. he made
friends with one of his guards who
aided him to escape In making his
way to the west coast he had to cross

ried him along for 10 hours. before
he succeeded In reaching the bank.
Bender said that after many hard-
ships ne reached Mazatlan. but being
unable to obtain work, tramped to
Nogales. where he earned enough
money to pay his railway fare to this
city.
