Must Show Necessity.

The new Judge, Mr.. Bailey, in
the Bedford-H Huntingdon Miflin
District in his refusal to grant to
the Leister House Huntingdon a
license to sell Intoxicating liquors
has this to say:
From the testimony adduced
by the petitioners there appears
as the particular and controlling
reason for the necessity of the
license that with the bar, petit
TONERS would be able to furnish
better boarding and more fit lodg-
ing for the guests, 1t is expect
ed that the patronage of the bar
will assist in paying the expen-
ses incident to the operation of
the other departments of the ho-
tel. The theory of the applicants
is that they cannot, in the alb
sence of the bar, furnish ade-
quate hotel Accommodations at the
price fixed by them as proper
without loss, and the conclusion
follows that they expect to give
to the boarders in the hotel by
reason of the bar, by way of
boarding and lodging, actually
more than they pay for.
This court does not believe
that the act of May 13, 1887. un-
der which this application is
made, contemplates that a gift Of
any part of the hotel accomoda-
ton by the landlord is the touch
stone upon which the necessity
of a license is to be tested"

Grounding a Fake.

Quoting the dates and the
weather thereof as proof the
Waynesboro Herald says
The truth must be told about
this grounding parsonage. He
is neither a prophet nor a son of
a prophet. If he ever had any
such claims he has forfeited them
He stands eternity discredited
in the prophet class. Raus NIT
him!
He did not see his shadow Feb.
2, when he came out of the hole.
1t was raining, hailing and snow
ing and the sun did not shine the
livelong day. According to the
grounding traditions he should
have remained out and the wealth
er should have been fine for the
next six weeks, but just the re-
verse happened. Instead of hav-
ing spring, winter only began in
earnest, and there has been moth
ing else since. All the big SHOWS
and the coolest weather and the
hardest freezes of the winter
came in the grounding lap, and
all the ice harvested this winter
was made in grounding limit.

Nervous Hens Spoil Ratches.

Breeds of chickens are divided
into sitters and non-sitters. Nom
sitters include all the light, ner-
vous breeds known as egg-type
breeds, of which Leghorns are
representative. These breeds
are too easily frightened, are not
reliable enough and are too close
feathered for setting. Large
breeds like Brahma and Cochin
although they make good moth
ers, are often too heavy and
clumsy and they break the eggs.
The best sitters, according to
authorities at the Pennsylvania
State College School of Agricul-
ture and Experiment Station, are
those found on the farm such as
Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island Reds and Orping-
tons.
The first step in setting a hen
is to remove her to the brooding
house at night, where she should
be placed upon several infertile
or glass eggs to discover her in
tentions. The closed type of
nest from fourteen to sixteen
inches square, from which the
hen may be released for a period
each day is preferable. A sod
two or three inches thick placed
grass-side down in the nest, will
supply moisture during the hatch
The sod should be covered with
a base Of fine straw under a lay
er of coarser straw.
To insure freedom from lice a
hen should be busted with good
powder before she is set and at
intervals of 5 to Z days thereaf-
ter. An'odd.lnumber Of eggs,
from 8 to Is, according to the
size of the hen, will fit into the
nest better than an even number.
The Pennsylvania Station rec
ommends testing at the end Of
the first week to remove the in
fertile eggs, as one rotten egg
may spoil the whole setting. The
sitting hen should be fed once
day on q mixture of whole grain,

One Breed Of Cattle In a Community.


One breed of cattle in a COM
munity is strongly urged by L.
W. Lightly, expert on dairying
and animal husbandry of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who
says:
In several communities in
Pennsylvania the farmers have
mutually agreed to practically all
keep the same breed of cattle.
We sometimes refer to this plan
as community breeding and it is
an excellent plan for a certain
limited territory to have cattle
practically all of the same breed.
This plan is feasible in many Sec
tions and its advantages are all
worth looking into. One decided
and profitable advantage is the
fact that such a community at
tracts large buyers from a dis
tance who know what they want
and pay top prices. Such COM
munities are not at the mercy of
a local buyer who fixes prices to
suit himself, but competing buy
ers come in and offer the best
prices of the country. Commu-
nifty breeding enables US to sell
our surplus at top prices.
Another great advantage is
the ease by which we can i'm
prove our stock. In a communi-
ty where everybody is interested
in one certain breed it is profit
able to bring in the best sires
that money can buy and the most
promising cows may be bred to
such sire and thus we are sure
of constant improvement and
building up of our stock. An
isolated breeder cannot afford, as
a business proposition, to pur-
chase the best and most promis-
ing sire. The breed selected be-
comes the pride of the communi-
ty and everybody vies with ev-
'erybody else to possess the best.
Before very long not only has
the stock been wonderfully i'm
proved, but the people by friend
ly competition have educated
themselves in practical sto k
breeding and caring for the same
so as to do and show their best.
They want to make a favorable
impression on the stranger COM
ing into the community and they
get profitable prices for their
stock and thus have the cash to
improve their farms, buildings,
roads, schools and altogether ele-
vate and enrich the community.
This is a rural uplift that up
lifts, instead of wild talk and
palaver that is so overmuch in
dulged in. Let those communi-
ties that have not thus benefited
investigate the merits of this
practice to their own general ad-
vantage. Community breeding
of cattle, horses, swine, poultry
and other stock, has many ad-
vantages and no disadvantages"

been her nurse; and for time she was
happy. But now. Clifford seemed to

Things were going badly for Mildred s
future happiness.
Clifford S temper was uncertain, and
he often yielded to paroxysms of anger,
when unpleasant scenes occurred be-
tween them, which from one cause and
another were becoming frequent.
Mandy Is Not Liked.
Clifford soon took an intense dis.
like to Mandy the old nurse, which was
an added sorrow to Mildred, who did
her best to keep the old colored wo.
man out of the way; fearing her hus.

sending her back South.
Mildred now tried harder than ever
to control herself, but her health was
very delicate. and it was extremely
difficult not to give way to her feel,

episode, when she had insisted upon
Mandy going to bed, as she had com.
planned of a ''misery in her back, d" she
had another bitter experience.

There is in this incident much for reflection con-

this test seems to corrObOrate conclusions at which

should have small place in charitable work, that inds

The purpose of true charity is wherever possible to
restore the unfortunate person to sefrespecng indie

them were really sturdy. But nearly all could do some
