NUMBER ~
THE VALUE OF PLAY.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

Summer days are play days for
men and women as well as chill
dren. Perhaps at this time of
year it is well to consider what
play really means to all of us.
AS a relaxation from the cares
of business, and as an education
al factor of no small Importance
to the growing boy and girl, it
should be encouraged and inteli-
gently directed. No history of a
nation would be complete with
out some record of its amuse-
ments and entertainments. In
these is written all change Of
manners, morals and faith.
We are spending millions of
dollars yearly upon the education
of our children and as a nation
are justly proud Of what we have
achieved in that work. But
there is much to be taught in the
proper direction of tlis natural
instinct for play. 1t it quite as
worthy of the serious considera-
ton of our educators as all the
other studies in the curriculum.
1t is not in school, but in play,
that children first learn respect
for leadership and the value of
courage, honor and pluck. 1t is
on the play ground that the first
lessons in democracy are taught.
In those games in which the in
dividual contests for his school
among his mates, he acquires
standards which are the best pos
sible training for future citizen
ship.
Parents who turn their children
out TO play" without interest or
knowledge of what diversions
they seek, are neglecting their
duty and missing an OF ortunity
to turn a natural instinct to the
greatest advantage. Trough
this channel it is possil.a TO cul-
tivate to a high deg ee those
qualities of imagination and char
acter which will prove cf inesti-
mable advantage to the s owing
boy and girl.
Public Fairgrounds sh ould
serve as important a place in the
education of our children as the
public school.

He Knows the Game.

Three or four years ago, Hor-
ace u. Mace, of this place, paid
So for a pair of CarnauX pigeons.
From that pair he has raised a
flock of over 200. Since the first
Of January this year, he has sold
nearly $100 worth of squads at
an average price Of $3.50 doz-
en-. He has no trouble to sell
mated pairs for breeding purpos-
es, at So pair. Several pairs Of
his old birds weigh three pounds
to the pair. Mr.. Mace does not
trust to luck for success in the
pigeon business, nor does he grow
weary in attending to the score
of little details that have proven
to be the stumbling block with
so many would-be fanciers. He
pays the same close attention to
several kinds of thoroughbred
chickens in the back yard at his
residence, and ships many eggs.
Mr.. Mace does not recommend
either the pigeon, or the chicken,
business to anyone who does not
have a sufficient stock of enthu-
siasm and patience to carry him
for all time he expects to follow
either; for it matters not how en-
thusiastic may be the beginning,
any relaxation in the observance
of details afterwards will always
result in total failure.

Normal School Closes.

The eight weeks term of the
McConnellsburg Summer Nor.
NAL School closed yesterday al
noon, and County Superintendent
Thomas began the examination of
a large number of students who
wished to receive teachers cer-
tificates. The examinations will
continue until some time during
Friday.
Professors Harris and Lamber-
son speak in highest praise of the
students this term. As a body
they represent splendid teaching
material, and we may we'll be
proud of them. While the school
this year was not as large by a.
bout a dozen as it was last year,
the number seventy-tWo-is is a
large school for our county, and
does not indicate falling off for
lack of interest; but it is about
the number that may be turned
out.
1t has been customary at the
close Of other terms, for the pa
pers to congratulate the students
upon their general good behavior
while in our midst. In doing so
we always felt that it was rather
a slur, indicating that students,
collectively, are a rough ct.
This false impression arose, not
from home schools like ours, but
from the antics of students, chief
ly in our large colleges, where the
membership is not all voluntary,
but where, too often, parents send
boys to get rid Of them at home
for few years. Many Of the
young ladies and gentlemen who
attend our home school pay their
way out Of their own earnings,
and they cannot afford to spend
any of the time at any thing that
would hinder their getting their
moneys worth, to say nothing Of
the Industrious class they repre-
sent.

For Potato Blight.

A Lancaster County business
man who also grows potatoes,
wrote to State Zooloeist, H. A.
Surface, Harrisburg, asking, Will
you please explain to me in de-
tail the genuine potato blight and
the best remedy for it. To this
Professor Surface replied as fol-
lows;
There are two forms of pota-
to blight: one known as the early
blight attacks the plants early in
the season, making the leaves
turn brown, but not black. 1t
does not make the tubers rot in
the ground nor after they are
dug, nor is it entirely preventable
by spraying. 1t is the more com
mon form of blight.
The other kind of blight is
known as late blight and attacks
the potatoes at any time after
they are six inches tall. The
leaves turn dark brown or black,
and the potatoes remain small in
size, and do not keep well after
being put into the bin. In fact
the blight generally ends in what
is known as rot" There is no
remedy after it starts and only
one good preventive That is to
spray with Bordeaux mixture by
the use of four pounds of quick
lime and three pounds of blue
stone in fifty gallons of water.
If beetles (bugs) are present,
to this add two pounds of arsenate
of lead paste or one pound of
dry arsenate of lead. Spray
when the vines are six inches
tall, and continue this once every
two or three weeks until the
vines are fully mature. You do
not need to add the arsenate of
lead if the potato beetles are not
present. If there comes a rain
and washes off the liquid this
spraying shou d be repeated.
Bordeaux mixture, descr i b ed
above, is far better for potatoes
than is dilute lime-sulfur solution.

Notice to Farmers.

The Agricultural Department
at Washington requests us to no.
tify our readers that if they sus-
pect that their wheat has been
infested by the Hessian fly, and
will send their name and address
to that institution requesting a
question blank concerning the
fly, they will do a great favor to
the Department. About the only
question they will ask is if your
wheat has been affected at GER
tain seasons. You will then be
given directions for sending lib
eral samples of the straw, by
mail, at the expense of the gov
ernment.
The Departments object is to
get all the information possible
concerning the damage by the
fly, and to start campaign of
punishment. Let every one COM
ply with the REQUEST and help
the good work along. 1t will
cost you nothing except the first
postal card asking for the blank
and giving your name and ad-
dress as follows: Dept. Of Ag-
riculture, Bureau of Entomology,

Two Model Farms.

A member of the NEWS stall
had the pleasure of inspecting
the farms and barns on the j. c.
Brewer estate two miles south of
town, Monday evening. There
are two sets of we'll kept farm
buildings, complete with silos and
with ample outbuildings for stock
and machinery. A system of
running water from a covered
reservoir furnishes an ample sup
ply of the coolest of spring wa
ter to barns and dairies. Each
barn has its cemented, dustproof
dairy room fitted out with mod
ern cream separators run by por-
table gasoline engines. The new
barn on the farm occupied by his
son William is strictly modern in
its compliments has no over
head racks to let fine dust and
seeds sift down over stock, or to
serve as roosts for chickens. Sta
bles are well lighted and ventila-
ted, and a view of every stall can
be had at glance from any part
of the lower story. Each farm
has a registered Guernsey bull
from which the herds are being
graded up, and we saw a dozen
or more fine yearling heifers that
surely show their blood. The
neatly kept lawns and open spa
ces around the buildings made us
wonder if Peter Tumbledown
would not feel mighty uncomfor-
table and out of his element if
he would drop in to inspect these
two farms and homes. To those
who imagine that to live in tidy
surroundings necessarily means
an outlay of money for costly or
namental fences, buildings, &C.,
we heartily recommend a visit to
Mr.. Brewers two farms, where
they will be impressed by the air
of comfort and thrift that pre-
vades without the costly outlays
that discourage so many when
they call to inspect so-called mod
ell" farms. What we consider
model farms are those that may
be copied by farmers with the
least capital. There is not a
thing about those two farms that
could not be duplicated by any
man in the County.
Just a word about the water
system. Mr.. Brewer dug a cis-
tern on a hill behind the orchard,
and cemented it, doing the work
himself; covered all but a man.
hole, and sodded it over to keep
the water cool and sweet. A
windmill at the springhouse for
ces water into this cistern, and
the water is then piped to any
place needed, into troughs that
can be easily kept clean and sani-
tary.

Mr.. w. S. Palmer and his sis
ter, Mrs. Matilda, Akers, of Sipes
Mills, and the latter's daughter,
Mrs. Verda Van Roden, of Phila-
delphia, came to town Monday
in Scott's touring car.
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1912-07-02

tated to obey the command. Just
at this instant an officer of the
militia company rode from the
Court House Square, where his
men were, down to the main
street. The Rebels at once con-
cluded that they were surround
ed, and wheeled about. While
in the act Of doing so, the Cap
tain of the New Workers ordered
his men to charge and they did
it most galIantly and fercely,
gaining on the rebels at every
stride of their horses. The re-
suit was the capture of thirty
two men and horses-nearly as
many men as there were of the
New Yorkers-an the killing of
two of the Rebels. The dead
Rebels were buried at the side of
the Mercersburg pike by our
citizens, near the spot where
they fell. The captured men and
horses were hurried away to Ev-
erett, and turned over to Milroy.
Eight miles further east, after
having crossed the beautiful Tus-
carora mountain at an altitude
of more than two thousand feet,
the village of Fort Loudon is
reached. Here the traveller is
shown the site of another of the
chain of Frontier forts. Four
teen miles farther through a
beautiful farming country, from
the crest of a ridge, breaks sud-
denly into view the beautiful
city of Chambersburg, the only
town north of Mason and Dixon's
line burned by the Confederates
during the Civil War.
Twenty-Five miles farther, and
the great Gettysburg battlefield
is sighted. Hence, from the
time one leaves old Fort Du-
quesne, until he reaches Inde-
pendence Hall in the City of
Brotherly Love, his automobile is
throwing historic dust into the
air.
The Franklin Repository (Cham
bersburg) hits the nail on the
head when he says that one of
the worst mistakes that could be
made, from historical view
point, would be to divert the pro-
posed Lincoln Highway from
Gettysburg to the west by way
Of Carlisle, Harrisburg, Lewis
town and Altoona, instead of by
way of Chambersburg, McCon-
nellsburg and Bedford. The lat
ter is the old original stage coach
and wagon road from the east to
the west, the only highway trav-
eled across the State in it's early
days. The former represents
nothing but dirt road, has no
historical value and would divert
the route from one of the most
interesting sections of the State
during the period that the great
Emancipator was at the head Of
the Government. Chambersburg,
the only northern town destroyed
during the Civil War, would be
left out entirely.
