For three hours prior to the calling of the council to order. the demoeratic

For three hours prior to the calling
 of the council to order, the democratic
 members were in caucus, which de-
 notes that all was not smooth sailing
 in the selection of party nominees for
 the several offices. The main contest was in regard to the. tax cOllectorship which by the way was previously of-
 fered to democrat on a silver plat ter but declined. There were five
 names for the position presented in the caucus and each had one or more
 friends among the aldermen assem- bled. The matter was finally decid- ed by John Dray receiving just a ma jority of the votes cast. Attorney Abel P. Tanner was the nominee for corporation counsel to succeed Will

 office when the republicans were in
 the majority and with no prospect of winning and therefore became the logical candidate at this time MT. Tanner has done considerable work for the party on the stump during many campaigns and was entitled to
 recognition for that reason. MT Con- nor has been a party worker ever since he attained his majority, and
 has been registrar of voters for many years, and therefore expected recogni- tiOn His time will come. Alderman Alton T. Miner was named for senior alderman, Joseph H.

 THE FARMER.

Yet, ninety nine times out of a hun dred- it isn't luck but our own lack which results in failure. Our lack of sumption in finding out what the price is for that which we want, or our lack Of Willingness to pay that price.

Why should farmer succeed? By what right does he expect to get for nothing the results which others pay the the full price for? What sort of manhood is it, in the final analysis, which is willing to accept unearned rewards?
 Wherein does the farmer who wants big crops without paying the price for them. differ from the slouching beggar of the streets who wants to be given what he hasn't earned?

TURKEY RAISING.
A Dictum i'm Turkey Culture Amount
ing to 80 Per Cent.

The census of 1911 reveals a de-
cline in turkey culture, amounting to
nearly so per cent in the past ten
years. This report is alarming and
is hard to account for unless it may
be ascribed to an ever-increasing
lack of help on the farm.
Turkey culture is profitable and
fascinating, but the success is great
er when the work is looked after by
women. Men seem to lack the neces-
sary patience and much of the skill
required to success with turkeys.
The belief is almost general that
turkeys cannot be raised in an en-
closure and that nothing short of
vast fall range is needed for their
welfare. This is a mistake, but to
succeed where space is limited, best
results can probably be attained by
the use of a chicken pen for hatch
ing and brooding.
Given plenty of feed, young poults
show little disposition to wander
away from the source of supply.
Travelling several miles daily is a
wild trait, adherence to which is
enforced upon the domesticated tur-
key by insufficient feeding.
With turkeys, like chickens, it is
important that the start is made with
vigorous stock. A common error
made by turkey raisers is to sell off
the fine ehavier specimens of both
male and female birds.
If say at Christmas the flock con-
tains birds that are not up to stand
ard in size and weight, it is due to a
lack of vigor at the start and a mis-
take of thinking that such deficien-
cies will be corrected by the time the
breeding season opens. Keep the
best specimens of old flock for breed
ers.
The White Holland breed will
probably prove most satisfactory
where the yard area is small. They
have less of the wild nature possess
ed by some colored strains and are
not more susceptible to disease.
They weigh less when ready for mar
ket, but usually command a higher
price per pound. Moisture and lice
are fatal to pOults. Lice will kill
them in "a hours and a week of wet
weather makes poults a sorry look
ing spectacle.
POults should not be fed grain the
first few weeks. There is much rec
ommended in the way of precise
methods, but by sticking to curd
and the green tops of onions for a
time, one will not go wrong.

CLEAN BREAD.

There Is one kind of food that can
not be washed clean. This is bread
and pastry. Therefore it must not
be allowed to get dirty. How often
does one go into a bake shop to find
bread, cakes and pies on the count
ers where they are exposed to dust
and where flies are constantly light
ing upon them?
Make it a point to never patronize
bakeries which expose bread and
1confections in this way. The flies
that you see may Just have come
from a consumptive or typhoid
fever patient and it is foolish for
you TO risk your life by buying food
that has been made dangerous in this
way.
All pies, cakes and bread should
be kept in dust proof cases. The
most up-to-date bakers enclose their
loaves in transparent oil or wax pa
per. This is a splendid idea. II
prevents the bread from being soiled
by the many people that are com
PEELED to handle it. If you have in
your town a baker who follows this
plan, encourage him by patronizing
him. Never go to a shop where food
Us exposed to dust and dirt. Support
the clean store by giving it your
trade.-Karl de Schweinitz, execu-
tive Secretary of the Pennsylvania
Society for the Prevention of Tuber-

What Newspapers Have Done.

Publicity in newspapers and mag
bzines to the amount of 1,500, 900
inches a year on tuberculosis and
It's prevention is being given by the
bress of the United States, accord
Ing to an estimate issued to-day by
|he National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
|osis.
If all the publicity on tuberculosis
Fiven by the press of this country in
he year ending April 1st were gath
|red in one paper, the National AS
location estimates it would make a
paper of over $3.50 pages. In the
bst four years, during which time
n active publicity campaign has
! |een carried on, the National Asso-
Iiation estimates that over 5000, 900
|hches or over 80 miles of press no.
ices on tuberculosis have been pub
shed.
" Publicity is the very heart of the
educational campaign against tuber-
2ulosis," says DR.. Livingston Far
|hnd, the Executive Secretary of the
| Iational Association. Largely be-
ause of the intelligent cooperation

Psis movement in this country been
pie to become, as it is, the greatest
fganized movement of its kind in
lie world. When tuberculosis shall
hve become a rare disease, the
merican press justly claim a large
hare in this gigantic achievement" )"

scientific treatment Of fruit trees
careful pruning, proper spraying
and thoughtful superintendent
Among these, the following are
cited:
In Bedford county Samuel f. Pip
er expended S73.6S for the care of
trees, and received from his or
chards the sum of $1512.6S. Will
liam Finn, who owns a large farm
in Allegheny county, spent but SIS
and received $6S42O. Another
striking case in Berks county is that
of the Bethany Orphan Home, which
spent $224.60 and obtained $1,952.
Another farmer in Butler county,
William Velte, had his orchards
treated by the experts at a cost of
S149. The receipts for the season
from this orchard amounted to
S3,397.
Orchard Returns Large.
Clayton r. Farmer, of Lancaster
county, made an outlay of $1O.72
and his total receipts were $400.
Prof John H. Shenck, of the same
county, spent $10.10 and had re-
turn of 500. The most notable
case in Lawrence county was that of
c. c. Cox. His receipts for the year
amounted to 1927 and his outlay
was $3.50. In Lebanon county ].
G. Eisenhower leads, with receipts
of S521.70 and expenses of $59.55.
The record in Snyder county is held
by w. w. Bruner, whose expenses
were $134.50 and receipts $1,2S1.-
so.
The opening of the report lays
particular stress on the necessity of
freeing orchards from weeds. In
this connection the findings of the
department are as follows:
Growing weeds rob the soil of
plant food and moisture, thus in
creasing the effects of drought at q
time when the tree stands in the
greatest need of water. Their pres
ence, therefore, although eXtenu-
ated by some on the ground of sup
plying much for the soil, bodies no
good, and the orchardist can well af-
ford to make an earnest effort to de-
stroy them at this season, or at any
time before the ground is covered
with snow"

Giving Aid to Fairs.

An assured income is a necessity

needs of the country develop, says

of fair organization that Is to serve
the people and improve their meth
ods The lack of such an income
is responsible for the presence of
most of the Objectionable features
admitted to fairs at present, and for
the consequent loss by the fair both
of prestige and support by farming

Independent of need OF the money
that takers and gamblers offer for
the privilege of swindling visitors.
Grants of money to the fair asso-
citation by the county or the State are
therefore a necessity without which
the best and most useful type of the
fair cannat exist. These grants
should be carefully guarded so as to
stimulate and not enfeeble effort on
the part OF local people, and to in
sure that the funds are not used in
promoting worthless projects by
visionary schemes. The representa-

Ocean Cannibals,

Such fierce carnivorous fishes as
exist in the depths of the ocean are
unknown at the surface. There is a
'black swallower" which devours
other finny creatures ten times as big
as itself, literally climbing over its
victim, first with one jaw and then
with the other. Another species is
nearly all mouth, and, having no
power of locomotion, it lies buried
in the soft ooze at the bottom, its
head alone protruding, ready to en-
gulf any prey that may wander into
its cavernous jaws. There is a
ferocious kind of shark resembling
huge eel. All of these monsters
are black as ink. Some of them are
perfectly blind, while others have
enormous, goggling eyes. No ray OF
sunlight ever pierces the dark, un-
fathomed caves in which they dwell.
Each species is gobbled by the species
next bigger, for there is no vegetable
life to feed on.-Spare Moments.

THE SUGAR TRUST EXPOSED.

| BY their own admissions before
| the Hardwick Investigating Commit
! tee OF Congress, the free trade su-
gar bill is traced directly to the
door of the Sugar Trust. Some of
the farmers and consumers of this
1 district were asked to sign petitions
to Congress in favor of heavy reduc-
ton in tariff or absolute free trade.
Who provided the slips? Frank G..
Lowry admitted before the commit
tee that he did. Who is Frank c..
Lowry? The sales agent of the Fed
eral Sugar Refining Company. Who
paid the expense? Mr.. Spreckles.
President of the Federal Sugar Re-
hning Company, was the sole con-
tributor; amount S12,OOU.OO. Who
would be benefited? The Sugar
Trust officers, and allied interests
admitted that they would be be-
cause it would destroy their rivals,
the home producers of beet and cane
sugar.
The farmers in many localities
have been asked to sign yellow
slips, addressed to Congress, re-
questing a reduction of the sugar
tariff or for free sugar. They will
be interested in knowing the source
from which these slips eminated.
The Hardwick Investigating Com
mittee, appointed by Congress, un-
earthed the fact that the expense in
cident to printing and circulating
these slips, 100000, was con-
tributed by Mr.. Spreckles, President
OF the Federal Sugar Refining Com
pany. This contribution was made
to one Frank c. Lowry who was the
self-appointed secretary of the
Wholesale Grocers Association, who
admitted before the committee that
he was the sales agent of this same
Sugar Refining Company.
Every representative of the Sugar
Trust and its allied refining inter
ests stated before this committee
that the beet sugar, home industry
was securing a material part of their
market and that a heavy reduction
in duty or free trade would benefit
them, the Sugar Trust, but would
destroy or seriously cripple their
competitors. The bill removing all
tariff from sugar importations has
been traced directly to the camp of
the Sugar Trust and its interests.
The officials before the Hardwick In
vestigating Committee stated that
free trade in sugar would benefit
them and seriously cripple their
competitors.
1t was admitted by Frank c.
Lowry that he was the sales agent
of the Federal Sugar Refining Com
pany and that it's president, Mr..
Spreckles, contributed s12,0OO.OO to
him which went to pay the expense
OF distributing yellow slip petitions
sent to farmers for their signature
and to be sent to Congress.
Just think of the Sugar Trust
carrying on such a campaign in the
interest of the consumer!
The beet sugar produced from
100000 acres of American soil, now
stands between the consumer and the
retiners (the Sugar Trust) in the
control of prices. A shortage in beet
sugar was followed by raise in price
last year. If the industry was
wholly destroyed as the refiners seek
by the removal of tax, what about
the price of sugar then?

An added income of 100000 to

the estimate the State Department
of Agriculture makes in its annual
report for 1911 in referring to the
work of the inspectors of the model
orchards in Pennsylvania. The in
spection and supervision of over
$50 orchards was conducted by the
division of economic zoology and re-
port from all parts of the State
showed last year the crops in these
orchards to be not only large but
the fruit to be exceptionally well
formed.
The advantage of scientific man
agement over the old-time methods
of fruit growing are pointed out.
The report says that this treatment
further indicates that the improve
ment thus received by bearing trees
also gives a constant increase in the
valuation of young trees; but this
added valuation is not included.
Thus from a total of list of 75 or
chards under the supervision of the
department, the report shows that
the orchard owners made eXpendi-
lures on their trees of $3,971.24
and in turn received S32, 2,199.35, with
