Farmers Week.

Each winter, during the holi-
day season when a large number
of the hundreds of students at
State College are at home for the
Christmas and New Years vaca-
ton, an elaborate program is pre-
pared for visiting farmers and
their families. The crowded con
dition of the boarding houses and
the lecture rooms is relieved by
the absence of the regular stu
dents, and the farmers have full
opportunity at that time to spend
week studying matters of i'm
portance to them in their every
day work at home. This winter
the week begins December 2S,
and ends January 2. There is no
charge to the farmers for the
weeks entertainment. Reduced
fares can be had on railroads and
boarding can be had in the town
of State College for $1.00 a day
and upwards. The crowds in at
tendance grow each year. Cars
over the Cumberland Valley rail
road, and over the lines leaving
Bedford county are filled every
season. There is nothing that
broadens out ones ideas and
stimulates him to attain more eff
ficiency at his work on the farm
like a week spent with live farm
ers each winter at our expert
ment and demonstration station
at State College. Go, even if
you should have to save the mon
ey for the trip and board by wear
ing the old overcoat one more
winter.

Little Shotgun.

Sportsmen know that little
shotguns can be purchased in
%, .32, and "A calibres. These
little guns take metallic amuni-
ton, shaped similar to the ball
cartridge used in rifles of similar
design. They are very useful
for killing rats and small game
at short range. But many of
our readers will be surprised to
know that paper shells, of regu-
lar pattern, are now on the mar
ket for a little, 30-inch barrel
shotgun of Al caliber. Since Al
means forty-one hundredths of
and inch, it will be seen that the
bore is but a trifie over two-fifths
of an inch. At present, these
little shells are loaded with one
third of a dram of smokeless
powder and three-tenths of an
ounce of No. 8 chilled shot.
These light guns are not toys,
but are being made to meet a de-
mand from hunters where the
necessary range is not over twen-
ty-fve or thirty yards.

Sudden Deaths in a SilO.

A recent fatal accident in Ohio
calls attention to danger to
farmers which cannot be toe
widely circulated. Since 1875,
when the first American silo was
built by DR.. Manley Miles, this
method of preserving forage for
livestock has been generally
adopted. Although the Depart
ment of Agriculture has frequent
ly called attention to the danger
of carbon dioxide gas accumulat-
ing in silos under certain condi-
tions, no fatalities have heen re-
ported heretofore. On the morn
ing of September 10, four work.
men on the farm of the Athens
(Ohio) State Hospital assembled
the ladder on the outside of a
silo to an open door about twelve
feet from the top and jumped
down one after another on to the
silage, the top of which was
about six feet below the door.
About five minutes after, two
other workmen following them
found them unconscious. AL
though large force of workmen
were Immediately summoned and
the bodies of the four men re-
moved at once through a lower
door, the physicians of the hos
pital who were at once on the
ground were unable to resuscitate
any Of the four men. Evidently
the carbon dioxide gas had ac-
cumulated during the night,
filling the silo up to the level of
the door and forming a layer of
carbon dioxide gas six feet deep.
Such accidents, says The Journal
of the American Medical Associa-
ton, might easily be repeated on
any modern farm. Agriculture
journals should call the attention
of the farmers to this danger,
and should urge that silos be
carefully ventilated before being
entered.

CamphOr For Colds.

One of the most efficient reme-
dies for breaking up cold dur
ing its earliest stage is camphor,
says a physician. When the eyes
begin to water and there is the
accompanying tingling of the
nose and feeling of chilliness,
place three drops of camphor on
a lump of loaf sugar and put the
sugar in the mouth.
Repeat this every fifteen min
utes until four or five doses have
been taken. At the same time
place the feet where they will be-
come thoroughly warm. This
will usually prove very effectual
in breaking up cold if the cold
is taken at its very beginning.
For child, but one drop should
be placed upon sugar and five or
six doses administered.
Another method of taking the
camphor, which is sometimes
preferred for grown people, is to
put spoonful of sugar in a cup,
add hot water and from ten to
fifteen drops of camphor. This
makes what is called camphor
sling. Camphor may be prepar-
ed by placing in a tightly corked
bottle as much camphor gum as
the amount of alcohol which the
bottle holds will dissolve. Place
some of the gum in the alcohol
and add more as this is taken up.
This makes a strong, pure solu-
ton. Or it may be bought ready
to take.

be mentioned here that Mr.. Nor
ton furnished all the stationary
bank furniture including tn e
vault which is equipped with a
modern steel door hung on crane
hinges and furnished with single
pressure system, operated by a
hand wheel. The entire building
is heated by steam, the heating
plant having been installed by
Messrs W. H. and O. L. Great
head, of McConnellsburg.
The elder Mr.. Morton is some
thing of a hustler. Fourteen
years ago he purchased and NOV,
ed onto the Fields farm just east
of town. At once he set about
improving the property. H {
built a large bank barn equipped
it with a silo (the first in the
county, an automatic litter car
rier, and concrete bitches in the
stables. The next year he erect
ed a fine large three-story dwell
ing house to take the place of the
old one. The other improvements
about the farm are in keeping
with the buildings. A peep in
to his stables will reveal the fac
that he appreciates the value o.

That fOur-Day School.

Of course you have not forgot
ten that a four-day school for
farmers will be held in McCon-
nellsburg in February. We
know of some farmers who are
jotting down questions to ask the
States instructors at that time.
Some who are free users of pot
ash will want to know what they
are to do to tide them over until
lines can again be established
connecting US with the worlds
supply in Germany. Answers
have been prepared for this ques-
ton, and to many others that
come up for decision before
spring work begins. Jot down
these questions and have them
ready when you attend.

ILL.,, and is a constant and ap-
preciative reader of the NEWS.

NUMBER Is
PNEUMONIA.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Health.

This is the season when pneu-
monia becomes the chief ally of
death and slaughters thousands.
During the changeable weather
when winter sets in and again in
the spring, it's greatest toll is
exacted.
Pneumonia is a germ disease;
the minute organism which causes
it is called by physicians the
pneumococcus. 1t is to a certain
extent contagious. However,
these germs are sometimes found
in the throats of perfectly healthy
persons. When the bodily re-
sistance of the individual becomes
lowered through physical ex-
haustion and this is followed by
exposure in poor ly-ventilated
rooms, offices, crowded street
cars, local railroad trains or i'll
ventilated theatres which are hot
beds for the infection, pneumonia
is apt to result.
Cold itself is not directly a fac
tor. In the Arctic regions the
germs do not exist in the pure
frigid air. This points to one of
the secrets for avoiding the dis
ease; seek fresh air, for pneumo-
MIA is found where It's forbidden.
Work and sleep with the windows
open.
Men have more of a tendency
to the disease than women, be-
cause of the additional exposure
to impure air and hardships which
they must endure. Alcoholism is
factor in many cases. The man
who INDUCES in much alcohol is
apt to reduce this power of re-
sistance and thereby become sus-
ceptible.
Great fatigue should be avoid
ed, if possible, for it is a predis-
posing factor in lessening the
natural resistance to this and
other disease. If you are exposed
to rough weather and get wet
and cold, take rub down with a
coarse towel and change to dry
clothing. Above all, avoid stuff
fly, ill-ventilated places where
crowds congregate.
Many people consider it i'm
possible to follow this advice at
this season of the year when the
holiday rush is on. Because it
is, or seems to be impossible for
thousands of our workers to OBJ
serve these precautions, the grim
figures will head the mortali-
ty tables for December.

"Some Good" Apples.

A few weeks ago the Editor
had a letter from Jere Cromer,
Cashmere, Wash, saying that he
felt that a man of the Editors
age, should have the privilege of
eating, at least, one good apple
before 'cashing in" and to make
it possible, Jere said he was ship
ping a box by express from Cash
mere, paying the express to Chi
cago, and sending the Editor mon
ey to pay the charges from Chi
cago. Good boy! Jere wanted to
make sure that the editor would
be able to lift" them from the
express office when they came.
Well, they came-thirty apples,
making a half bushel. When the
Editor saw the fruit, it looked
good to his eyes and he did eat;
he also, gave one to his wife and
she did cat End asked for more.
Indeed, for iq"or, size and beau
ty of coloring, they were the fin
est apples he had ever tasted.
Sorry that he could not pass them
around to all his friends, but like
old Lawrence Everts' quart of
whisky, thirty apples do not last
forever.
Jere said in his letter that he
had just finished harvesting a
crop of 10000 bushels.

gons on their own accord, but so
close to them that the frightened
men could reach out and touch
them. Mr.. Fore says that it re-
quired three hours for the herd
to pass, and that he could not see
to the ends of the wings" of
the big drove that could not have
been much less than a million in
number.
At another time, while his par
ty was prospecting in the foot
hills of the Rocky Mountains, Mr.
Fore saw at a distance what look
ed like a big bear. Shouldering
his muzzle-loading, single-shot
rifle he started after it. AS he
approached it, he saw that twas
a bull buffalo. He succeeded in
getting so close to it that he
thought he could shoot it in the
forehead, same as we shoot a
beef. The shaggy hair in top of
its head caused him to miscalcu-
late the vital spot and ne shot too
high, but the bullet stunned the
bull, and it fell to its knees. 1t
then started up a blowout ravine
and Mr.. Fore started up another
one running parallel toi it. When
he got a second shot, he aimed
for its backbone above the shoul-
der. Here again the shaggy
name drew his aim too high, but
the bull again fell. Following
still further Mr.. Fore drew a bead
on the heart-this time telling
the brute "for keeps" Night
had overtaken him by this time,
and losing his way back to camp,
and carrying the bulls tail as a
trophy, he fell into a river and
must have wet the powder in his
rifle, because next morning when
a fat, sleek heifer buffalo follow
ed some cattle into camp, ne
snapped three caps at her at a
distance of twenty feet, but old
Trusty would not shoot and the
heifer took fright and scampered
off.

 TRADE IS DULL No Changes in Prices Yes terday-High Egg Prices
 Maintained

The weekly half holiday of the retail grocers yesterday caused most of them to postpone buying, with the result that trade was exceedingly dull on Morris ave- nue yesterday.
 There were no changes in prices report ed from Wednesday quotations, eggs still selling at 1sc and likely to go higher very soon owing to the persistent demand Never have I seen such a demand for eggs during the hot summer months since Two been in business in Birmingham, ' said prominent poultry dealer on the avenue yesterday. Usually we have a large surplus stock of eggs during the month of July. and wt slve difficulty to get rid of them at low prices But this month, owing to the unexpected demand, the price is high at 18c n dozen, and the stock is down below normal. This de- pletion of the egg market will cause the price to go higher as the demand shows no signs of decreasing
 The appearance of new sweet potatoes for the first time this season caused them to sell at the stiff price of sl 20 per hamp- CT. Another big shipment of peaches ar rived and sold well at the prevailing low price. Dry salt meats made no changes in price and trade is quiet The grain mer- chants reported no changes from Wednes- days quotation. Sugar and coffee prices were firm and trade up to the standard. Yesterdays quotations are as follows:
