Booze or Get on the Wagon"

mon in Wilkes-Barre on Sunday af

who pledged themselves to a man

in the audience rose to his feet.
Mrs. Oakley Henshaw, of Indian
Orchard, was taken to Allentown
Friday morning by relatives where
she will enter Rittersville asylum. A
consultation of doctors found that
she had become insane. 1t is thought
that Mrs. Henshaw became mentally
der nged from staying up with her
child, who had pneumonia. She did
not sleep or get any rest for more
than a week. Her devotion was so
great that she would not leave the
bedside of her child, during it's ill
ness.
Regarding the nonpartisan bal
lot bill the Philadelphia Inquirer has
this to say: Men like Congressman
w. w. Griest, of Lancaster, who has
probably the strongest and most har-
monious Republican county organi-
zation in the country, are opposed to
the change and point out that the
suggested nonpartisan local ballot
would inevitably result in the dis
ruption and probable destruction of
all party organizations. Republican
leaders in Lackawanna, Luzerne,
Schuylkill and other big counties
take like position. 1t was the ori-
ginal plan of the State leaders to
have this bill passed and have the
next November election in cities and
counties of the State held under the
nonpartisan ballot scheme. Senator
James P. McNichol, chairman of the
elections committee of the Senate,
said Il am surprised at the vigorous
and formidable opposition that has
developed among party leaders in the
interior of the State to the proposed
nonpartisan municipal ballot. I'm
less there shall be great change in
sentiment l do not see how the meas
ure can be passed at this session of
the Legislature.
Farmers are busy with their
tree-spraying apparatus just now.
Many Of them believe that the work
must be done this week if at all and
supply houses report enormous sales
of whale oil soap and lime sulphur
solution. 1t is estimated that ten
farmers now spray where one used
to and there is not one farmer who
any longer doubts the efficacy of this
treatment for scale. A good story is
told of one Perry county farmer who
agreed with reluctance to permitting
the demonstrators to spray his apple
orchard. Noting his unbelief, the
young man in charge thought he
would give the farmer a practical
example, SO he managed to leave one
of the trees sprayed on one side only,
telling the farmers son what he had
done, but pledging him to silence.
Next apple-picking time the demon
strator got a hot letter from the
farmer telling him that his spraying
did no good, and accompanying the
letter were several rusty-looking ap-
pies. They were from the unspray-
ed side of the tree. Explanations
followed and now there is no warmer
advocate of spraying than the form
er scoffer.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

COURT BILL IN SENATE.
Action Is Taken at Request of the Law
Association Of Philadelphia.

The municipal court bill was re-
committed to the Judiciary General
Committee when 1t came on first read
ing in the Senate. This was done
upon the request of the Law Associa-
ton of Philadelphia, supporting the
additional Judges bill already sent to
the Governor. This hearing will be
held next week, and in the meantime
the Governor will not act on the
Judges bill. Those advocating more
judges in Philadelphia fear the bills
defeat at the hands of the Governor,
and they will attempt to show that
municipal courts are not effective.
Senator Magee is moving in a new di-
rection toward the Pittsburgh Board
of Public Education. He introduced
bill which would make Pittsburgh a
second-class district. Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia now constitute the first
class districts of the State. If Pitts
burgh were to be denoted to the sec
ond class it would close many Of the
beneficial provisions of the code pre-
pared with the view of advancing its
schools. From the business standpoint
alone the change would be serious.
The present auditing system would be
wiped out.
An Elective Board.
The Stein bill, making the school
board elective instead of appointive,
cannot get through the Legislature, as
Philadelphia will not stand for the
change. That city has had an appoint
i've board since 1905 and is we'll salts
fed There is no demand in Phila-
delphia for a change. To overcome
the opposition of the Philadelphia
legislators the plan to change the
classification has been taken up.
Increase of Debt.
Mr.. McIlhenny, Philadelphia present
ed a joint resolution making clearer
the amendment to the Constitution
adopted last fall relating to Philadel-
phia's increasing it's debt for the build
ing of subways; also an enabling act
to carry into effect the amendment
adopted last year. These bills are
| not to become effective unless the
amendment adopted last year is de-
clared invalid by the Supreme Court.
/ Favor Non-Partisan Ballot.
The advocates of the non-partisan
ballot appeared before the Elections
Committee Of the House. The advo.
Gates of the bill put forth the plea that
the present assembling of candidates
under party denominations on the
ballot prompted the voter to choose
the party and not the man. The selec.
ton of the party's candidate, regard.
less Of what his personal merits or de.
merits might be, they said, was alto
gether contrary to the spirit of the
suffrage. The different speakers were
introduced by General A. j. Logan
who acted as chairman of the meeting
The framer of the measure, Watson
Adair, said that the tendency was for
a man affiliated with party to vote
for that party's candidate for muni
cipal Office regardless Of his qualifica-
tions. The restriction of a man of
one party voting for candidate OF
another was also an argument for the
bill. The non-partisan ballot, he said
was intended for the good of his city,

BEST FOOD FOR BROOD SoWS
SKINNED Milk Mixed With Wheat
Bran or Ground Oats 10 Excellent
Ration for ehoats.

The best food for brood sows Is
skinned milk mixed with wheat bran
or ground oats. Boiled roots mixed
with wheat bran and wheat middlings
is q healthy and economical food.
The brood SOW should be kept In good
condition, but not fat. Corn is not a
suitable food; q few ears OF corn
may be fed after the slop Is eaten, II
the SOW is thin. A small grass pas
ture should adjoin the pens; let them
have the use of this pasture every
suitable day; she needs exercise.
Weilcured clover hay, cut fine and
mixed in the millfeed slop. will reduce
t. grain ration. See that the pens
are clean and dry; give a warm
bed of straw or leaves-leaves make
tbs best bed for pigs. The hogs
should not be kept in dirty yards or
allowed to run in the yard with stock.
Never let the hogs burTow in the
fermenting manure, as 1t is certain
to give them lung disease and skin
disease. II the hogs cannot have a
grass pasture they should have raw
roots and freshly dug grass sods
every day. Give plenty Of freshs
clean water and, a liberal supply Of
burnt wood, wood ashes and coal.
The best food for shoats Is equal
quantities Of ground oats and peas
boiled and mixed with wheat bran.
Give the slop luke warm in cold
weather. Have feed trough clean.
No rancid slop should be fed. A
well-bred cow that win rear 4 litter
Of pigs and is a good mother is worth
$50. Have a separate pen for each
SOW. Make Q fender rail around the
pen TO prevent the SOW from crushing
the young pigs. Sows win farrow Is
weeks after being served.

PIN MONEY FOR BOYS
Seeds for Planting Should Be
Carefully Assorted.
Time for Performing Task Varies 40
eordlno to Latitudes and Seasons
Onions May Be Put In Earl
Ter Than Other Plants.

(By KATHERINE ATHERToN GRIM.)
II there is one time Of the year that
is better than all the rest, 1t Is the
time when the seeds are put into the
ground. The sweet, warm air. the
sunny sky, blue as million tur-
quoises. and, more than all. the smell
Of the fresh, moist earth. all seem full
Of joyful promise. No wonder all the
poets blossom out In the spring; even
a horse-block could write poetry-if 1t
could.
Now for the planting. Your ground
is fit as 1T can be-see how mellow
and warm It is!-your seeds are care
fully tested and sorted, and each kind
is tied up by itself in little cloth
sack that will not break II you carry
1t in your pocket
said your seeds we're sorted. Are
you sure you remembered to do that?
You should have spread them all out
on white oilcloth laid on the table
one kind at a time, Of course-and
have picked out all that were broken,
or not we'll filled, or that did not look
right for any reason. or course all
foul seeds should be taken out, too.
1t looks like quite q task to do all
that, but 1t is really not half as hard
to remove the foul seed as 1t is to dig
up the weeds they will raise; and 1t
is far more profitable, of course, to
plant good seed than poor.
Otherwise, you would not have Ia
ken all the pains you have been at to
secure the very best seed you could.
How deep are you going to plant?
Does each kind Of seed require to be
put at the same depth? You can find
these things out for yourself by try
ing a little experiment.
Make box frame of two-inch strips
large enough to hold a pane Of 7x9
window glass. It should be about four
inches in depth. and have wooden

Midsummer PAINTINGS.

A good many OF the short season
garden products can still be planted.
Onion sets will mature nicely before
frost If planted now. and onion seed
can be planted and harvested as onion
sets ready for planting next year.
Radishes should be planted every two
or three weeks as late as September.
There il no reason why you can
not have q steady supply OF radishes
for your table until the frost.
Good late crops Of lettuce and spin
ach may be had by planting now.
Although peas will not grow we'll in
the hot weather. a very excellent late
crop may be had by planting the seed
about four inches deep in drills two
feet apart at this time Of the year.
This will insure deep roots and hardy
plants.
The general rule for midsummer
planting is to keep the plants well
shaded during the hot part OF the day.
This means, of course, protection from
the sun, as It is quite necessary for
the plants to get the morning and
evening sun. II you have no natural
shade in your garden, and do not
want to 20 to the trouble Of building
artificial shade for the midday sun,
still good results can be had by plant
ing your seed quite deeply. Plants
put in at this time Of year must be
kept thoroughly watered, and OF
course cultivation is an ever-present
necessity.

for most horse owners. until warm
weather has come 70 stay. and with
its advent most OF the reason for clip
ping horses departs.
Pneumonia and kindred diseases are
more prevalent at this time Of year
than at any other. and this prevalence
is due more to changing seasons and
work than to any other one cause. AS
far as possible, avoid getting your
horses too warm, and protect them
carefully while they are cooling and
drying of. While It is desirable to
get them dry as soon as possible after
stopping work, they must not run any
risk OF chilling while drying.
Where horses have box stalls or can
roll around on an ample supply Of dry
bedding they will dry out fairly soon.
If there are large number Of them
in the same room, means must be pro-
vided to drain the liquid manure from
the stall floors as fast as possible,
and the stable room must be thor
oughly ventilated, without drafts.
Horses which are clipped all over
do not suffer from the first warm
weather as much as unclipped or part
ly clipped horses. They perspire less,
and hence dry of faster. For this
very reason 1t is necessary to blanket
them carefully during cool weather in
order to keep them from drying too
rapidly and contracting colds.
With the opening Of the spring sea-
son many horses which have been do
Ing but light work during the winter
will be required to start in doing q
full days work, and this change will
be made very suddenly. AS a result.
they will develop the various troubles

against such troubles Start them in

ends and bottom. Set in a couple Of
pahes for sides, and fasten them in
place with little wooden buttons. Fill
nearly full OF rich, damp earth.
On the ends mark q scale of inches,
beginning at the top Of the dirt. Put
down into the soil, next to the glass.
the seeds you wish to study, the first
one inch deep. the second two inches
deep. and so on.
One-half OF one side can be used for
corn, and the other half for beans,
while the other side can be used for
onion sets, tomato seeds, or anything
else you wish. AS the seeds sprout,
you can easily tell which depth is best,
and plant your field seeds accordingly.
A big glass bottle may be used in
the same way, but is not quite so
handy as the box.
The incest kind Of a bag to drop
seeds from is an apron, such as car
penters use. This should be made Of
some stout cloth. such as denim or
duck. A yard is enough for one, and
you can surely coax mother or big
sister to make 1t for you.
Be sure to plant your seeds in rows
far enough apart to cultivate with
horse. Even the smallest of garden
stuff, such as onions, lettuce and rad
ishes, may be cared for much easier
this way.
The oid.fashioned plan Of putting
such small fry" into a raised bed is
not a good one. Not only are they
hard to keep free from weeds, but
such beds dry out badly. It is far bet
ter to put everything in rows.
The time for planting varies 30
much with different ATTITUDES and
seasons that there IL not much use
trying to make a rule for It. You
know that. seeds must have warmth
to grow, so know that 1t will not pay
to be in too big a hurry to get them
in while there is danger Of frost.
Onions. though, may be put in ear
lier than most other things, as they
delight in the damp. cool weather Of
early spring, and will take no hurt
from slight frosts.
But the tenderer plants, such as
corn, potatoes. tomatoes and the like.
win not stand much cold, and It pays
best to wait till settled weather bsIons
