eithertoo oengrossed with the work

COnldn't Afford TO Advertise.

Jud Shaw sold shoes and seal
ing wax, and lamps, fishpoles and
glue, tobacco, candles, gum, and
tacks, slickers and sardines, too;
dry goods and hams were IN his
line; he dealt in peas and beans;
he kept the general store, in fine
sold overalls and jeans; but Jud
somehow, he wasn't wise-he
Couldn't afford to advertise.
Not that he harbored any
grudge against his home town
sheet; he was, as anyone might
judge, a kindly man to meet; his
customers he treated fair, and
yet he prospered not, his goods
were honest, one would swear
he simply was forgot; for Jud,
somehow, he wasn't wise-he
couldn't afford to advertise.
Mail order firms from out of
town, much wiser in their day,
paid literally for their renown,
and gathered in the hay; their
catalogues went everywhere, they
advertised for trade, their name
went forth with trumpets blare,
and, ah ! the coin they made;
couldn't afford, they were so
wise, couldn't afford not t adver
tise.
Now, Jud's stuff it was just
as good; his prices were the same
the loss was ours; he simply
would not spread abroad his name

much preferred in their home

had never heard-you know the
reason why, for Jud, somehow,

Farm Notes.

Under the above head, the
News takes pleasure in publish
ing from time to time such facts
as are of interest to Fulton coun-
ty farmers. We gather them
from experience, talks with farm
ers, and from reports of our Ex-
pertinent Stations.
We frequently wonder how
many of our readers know what
made THE Great American Des-
ert" such profitable wheat dis
trict. When we older men were
boys, our biographies pictured
nearly all of the area now en-
braced by Kansas, Colorado, ives
tern Missouri, northern Texas,
&C., as a desert-dry and not fit
ted for farming. We now know
that these are great wheat dis
tricts, although no more rain
falls there than formerly. DRY
Farming" is the secret. 1t has
been such a success that our fore
most Eastern farmers are aston
ished that it is not more general
ly practiced here. What is dry
farming?" 1t is nothing more
or less than a system of level cul-
tivation. First, when ploughing
is done, the ground is pressed
down tightly against the bottom
of the furrows by the use of a pack
er, a disc harrow will do in this
country for a packer. The
ground is gone over as soon as
ploughed and is never again torn
up with spike or spring tooth har-
rows. The top three inches is
made as fine as soil in our gar
dens and it is kept in that shape.
If crop such as corn is to be
cultivated, slant-tooth prongs are
used in order to keep the soil
packed down. Bottom soil is
never brought up by big shovels
to dry QUIT is left below.
Scanty rainfall is thus made to
remain in the ground below the
furrow bottom to soak" up to
the roots. Slate, gravel, and
sandy soil farmers would do well
to sell their harrows and drills
that tear NY the soil and buy disc
harrows and disc drills. A good
disc drill covers seed at sowing
time and the seed does not have
to depend for cover upon fine
particles of soil that afterwards
roll into the little furrows left by
the hoe drill. 1t is better-ten
times better-to let a few weeds
grow in the corn than to so tear
up the ground that neither weeds
nor corn will mature properly on
soils that dry out.

Hunters Licenses.

The rush to take out hunting
licenses is on. They cost $1.02.
The two cents is to pay the pos
tage to you when you send for
one by mail. Two cents is not
much; but fifty times two cents
is a dollar. This is what BILLY"
Davis has to pay out of his own
pocket when fifty men forget"
to enclose postage. Billy is a
good fellow or he would let them
wait for their licenses until pos
tage is paid. 500 such 'forgets'
means $40 to Billy. If the State
would stand for it the hardship
would be different; but it don't.
Fully 500 Fulton county men for
get to pay postage every year.

Had Nice Trip.

Hon. J. W. Hoop and daughter
Miss Sallie visited in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Tayman
in Brandywine, Md, from Sat-
urday until Monday on their re-
cent visit to Washington to see
the Big Parade. They were very
much pleased with Brandywine
and its surroundings, and Miss
Sallie furnishes the following de-
scription of the place:
Brandywine is a pretty little
town nestled in the hills. A
large notorious makes two daily
trips to Washington, D. G. twen-
ty miles distant. The town has
its own bank. A beautiful school
building is being erected. Ithas
a consolidated school, to and from
which the pupils are taken in con
veyances at the County's expense
Most of the dwelling houses are
bungalos, shaded, in many instan-
ces by magnificent oaks that have
been spared by the woodman.
Two railroads intersect, and from
the station tobacco, livestock and
farm produce are shipped to Bal
timore, the principal crop being
tobacco which is cut in August
and dried in large open barns,
then stripped and packed in hogs
heads. Ice is manufactured in
large quantities.

High School in Second Grade.

A visit of a High School inspec-
tor from the State Department a
few days ago, disclosed the fact
that there were too many pupils
enrolled for one teacher, and,
that if McConnelIsburg borough
would get the appropriation due
a High School of the Second
Grade, it would be necessary to
employ another teacher. Th e
Board feeling that they wanted
to provide the greatest efficiency
in teaching force, and not to lose
needed appropriation, promptly
accepted the suggestion (which
was virtually a command) and
elected an assistant principal.
There has been complaint from
patrons that the High School was
not delivering the goods" The
visit of the Inspector, and the
change made by the board, is
likely to make everything salts
factory, and bring the High
School up to a grade with other
like schools in the State.
Miss Minnie Reisner, who for
several years has been a teacher
in the Borough schools was cho-
sen assistant principal.

that fire was discovered at about

At the time of going to press,
we could get no further particu-
lars. Mr.. johnson has lost many
barns and buildings during re-
cent years and must be nearly
