Fighting in Oar Latitude.

1t is a matter of interest to no.
tice that the Turkish stronghold
at Erzerum, in Asia Minor, and
near the southeastern coast of
the Black Sea, is situated in ex-
actly the same latitude as McCon
nellsburg, and that when it was
taken at the point of the bayonet
a few days ago by the Russians,
the soldiers fought in fifteen feet
of snow. Erzerum is a trife
south of the 40th parallel of Iati-
tude. AS nearly as we can locate
the doth in Fulton county, it is at
Knobsville, hence, the fighting
took place in about the same lati-
tude as the County Seat. Trac-
ing the 10th westward from Err
zerum, we find it crosses the in
step" of boot-shaped Italy where
no doubt, they are picking ripe
oranges at this moment. Teach
ers might spend a profitable half
hour instructing pupils why there
is this variation in climate along
the 40th parallel of latitude.

Tax Rebate on Trees.

Zoologist H. A. Surface in ans
wering letter said: There is
a law in our State by which a re-
duction of taxes of two dollars is
allowed every person who plants
four or more trees along a high
way and gives them proper at
tention. These may be fruit
trees, or shade trees, or any kind.
The provision is for rebating tax
es at the rate of fifty cents per
tree from one to four trees, not
above that amount. When per-
sons have planted fruit trees the
citizens do not seem to take ad-
vantage of the provision of the
law. You may be interested in
knowing that the act further re-
quires that the Township Super
wiser is to keep a book in which
to record these trees and know
that they have proper care"
Crime and ignorance are not
part of a community where beau
tiful homes abound. Our idea of
a beautiful home is about as fol-
lows: A house kept well painted
or whitewashed, a neat fence
around it, all the shade trees nec-
essary, a few hardy flowers, and
a row of useful trees on each
side of the road to the boundar-
les of the farm. We know of
many such. If all owners plant
ed trees along the road, making
an endless avenue of beauty, we
think much of the stay-at-home
boy and girl problem would be
solved. The State thinks it worth
80 cents a tree to help make good
citizens.

Farm Notes.

Since preparedness" is being
preached from the housetops,
what is the matter with the fol-
lowing little survey of a possible
invasion" by a sleek lit I'll e
stranger-the Small Tractor. Out
West "he" seems to be taking
things by storm. Will this handy
little iron horse revolutionize
farming to the extent claimed by
its advocates? Will the Eastern
er suffer as he did forty years
ago when the rich prairies were
opened up to machinery not suit
able for use on eastern farms?
While it is not wise to cross a
bridge before we come to it, still
we believe it best to keep one
eye open on this newcomer. If
an engine is to be purchased for
the farm, investigate the merits
of the small tractor before buy
ing. 1t will pull one or more
wagons to market, it will do all
the work of any stationary en-
gine of similar power, it will
draw gang-plows turning sever
al burrows, harrow and pulverize,
do the work of three 2-horse
teams, and it requires the atten-
tion of but one man. The new
West has taught the old East
many economical methods. Let's
keep in touch with all the tricks
of our western friends.
Last Spring, some one started
a discussion of the advantage of
narrowing wheat as soon as dry
enough in the spring. The NEWS
helped it along, and we have
since learned that many tried it
for the first time. The plan of
sowing cloverseed late in the
spring on wheat and narrowing
it in seems to be finding favor in
many places-fact is, the idea is
old in some localities. The wheat
is benefited by narrowing, and
when it is done with a slant tooth
the young timothy is not injured
and the cloverseed is covered in
stead of remaining on top of the
ground.
Wouldn't it be grand to have a
Babcock tester that would infal-
IDLY determine the PERCENTAGE of
cream in all that is being writ
ten for the farmer? Neverthe-
less, the more we read, the more
probability of keeping abreast
of the times.
