Considerable excitement was Great
ed among the members of the Loafer 9
club at the postoffice yesterday morn
ing when it was suspected that some
German spy was attempting to gas the
CLUB. The committe on ways and means
was set to work at once and after an
investigation by the said committee the
cause for the alarm was found and q
subcommittee was appointed to notify
Poke Eazley, who had batch Of
limberger cheese wropped up in a piece
of rag and was carrying it in his pocket
for his dinner so that he would not
have to go home for the meal, that this
must not happen again. lobe Moseley
was also notified that he must retire to
wash his feet. With the disappearance
of lobe and Poke the club proceeded
with routine business. u.s.
Bat Smith, operator of the moon
shine still house on Musket Ridge, was
fined one thousand dollars and costs
last week for the illegal manufacture
of liquor. He says the cost of pro-
duction is getting so high that he be-
lieyes he is going to be forced out of
business. He regards this latest ex-
pense a very unnecessary one.
The stewards of the Dog Hill Metho-
dist church met last week and voted to
double Atlas Pecks' assessment for the
preachers salary next year. Atlas has
publicly announced that he will not pay
it and if they insist he will take chances
on getting to heaven in some one Of the
other denominations.
Sile Kildew has moved to the Calf
Ribs neighborhood. He says the peo-
pie over there seem much nicer to a
fellow than they do in Hogwallow. He
will find them just about the same after
he has been there while.
The Hog Ford Baptist church is now
without a pastor. The congregation
has made no public announcement as
to the why Of the matter, but many Of
the Dog Hill Methodist congregation
do not blame the Hog Ford preacher
for leaving; that his shoes and the
rest of his clothes were getting pretty
" shabby.'
The Hogwallow Loafer's club will
soon have to move in from the front
porch at the postoffice. The post
master says this is one Of the reasons
he breads to see winter coming on,
as he is never able to get close enough
to the stove to get his feet warm.

from the veterinary division, de.
partment of agriculture, Universe
ty of Minnesota. This COW develop
ed pancreatic stone-a very un-

The pancreas is a gland on the
right side of the body in the region
Of the kidney and upper part of the
liver, being also attached to the
"paunch." 1t is one source of sweet
breads. 1t aids in digestion of fats,
proteins and starch, and is one of

PET STOCK AT STATE FAIR.

Everybody and their neighbors are
interested in pet stock. Pet stock is
the name given to animals raised pri-
marily for pets. although some pet
stock Is used for fooGs or scientific
purposes.
Included under the head Of pet stock
are cats, bantam chickens. white rats.
white mice, dancing mice, guinea pigs,
rabbits. cage birds, fish, animals used
for terrariums and aquariums, pig
cons, ferrets and others.
In the pet stock show there are
more than 1000 entries as compared
with ass last year. The display of
rabbits will be one of the best ever
made in the State. Pigeons are classed
with poultry anu figure with the poul-
try entries. The pigeon and poultry
display will be equal to the best in
the history Of the fair and will pos
sibly break the record for the num-
Der of entries. The big poultry build
ing will be filled to overlooking.
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Guggenheim has made
the largest entry of rabbits, and de-
spite the scarcity Of guinea pigs n
very large and varied display will be
made.
The entries of cattle up to August
% were sufficient to completely fill
the big cattle buildings. This Is re-
markable considering freight condi-
tons and the difficulty in getting
men to care for herds.
Farmers will find a large display
Of farm machinery. including the new
est labor saving devices. 1t will be
worth a trip from any part of the
State to learn how new machinery
can help solve the labor problem on
farms.
Farmerettes will be present to show
their ability in handling farm machin-
cry and turn off farm work. To think
OF a place operated by these neat little
women is temptation to buy farm
and set flock of them at work.

CANNING TOMATOES.

Many housekeepers prefer the open
kettle method.
In the open kettle method select
tomatoes that are ripe. but not over
ripe, and free from blemishes. Only
a few Jars should be canned at a time.
Carry the canning process through
quickly. Scald the tomatoes for from
one-half a minute to two minutes, dip
them into cold water and remove them
quickly. With a sharp knife remove
the stem core. and the skin.
Place one layer of tomatoes in an
enamelled kettle. and for every quart
add one teaspoonful OF salt and from
one to three teaspoonfuls Of sugar.
Add no water. Bring the mass to the
boiling point, and boil for from six
to ten minutes. Large tomatoes

SCARLET GLOBE RADISH.

The scarlet globe white tip radish
L. one of the best for the home or
market gardener. The shape is at
tractive and also the color, a beautiful
oval and rich scarlet, with a white
tip; the flesh is tender, crisp and
mild. 1t is good for the outdoor
garden or for forcing. 1t is not
good radish for summer sowing. The
last of August and the first OF Sep
TENDER sowings may be made in the
open ground in the vicinity of New
York. Where the season is shorter
the seed should be sown in cold frames
and protected with sash when the
weather is cold.
This Is a popular radish in the
market all over the country, though
in some sections those with but
little white at the tip bring the best
price. In other sections those about
half white and half scarlet bring the
best price, while in other localities
those about a third scarlet and two
thirds white are in greatest demand.
Market gardeners should know their
market and SOW seeds of the varieties
that will bring the best prices.
When forcing It pays to sift the
seed, grading In this manner. Seed
OF a uniform size will mature all at
one time, SO the entire row can be
cleared of at once, replanting the
space for a second crop.
Servings Of radishes can be made up
to the first of September. Seed sown
during the hot summer months must
he firmed into the soil. After the
furrow has been made for the seed
and before covering they should be
pressed into the bottom Of the furrow
with the back of the hoe or with the
sole OF the foot.

WATCH OUT FOR FALL COLDS.

While getting pullets in shape for
maximum egg production II Is impor-
tant to avoid the condition commonly
known as fall colds" Perhaps the
chief cause OF colds is crowdihg
chickens in roosting houses which are
not properly ventilated. Even IL no
cold results birds which are forced to
breathe hot, impure air will suffer
considerably and will be slower in
growing. An excellent plan for a
summer roasting house Ii simply a
frame rooted over to protect the birds
from storms and II protection from
enemies is necessary covered on the
sides with wire netting.
II an ordinary colony house Is used
1t should at least have a generous
rear ventilator. If the house is Of the
shed roof type and twelve feet long
the ventilator should be five or six
feet long by fifteen inches high and
situated just beneath the plate in the
middle of the rear wall Of the house.
II hinged at the top to swing out
there will be no danger Of rain driv-
ing in. Then IL the roosts are placed
enc and half or two feet below the
lower edge Of the opening there will
be no danger of direct draught on the
birds.
Fall colds ordinarily appear just as
&. case of "snuffles' with n slight rattle
in the throat. The surest way to de-
tect them is by going among the birds
at night. Any bird that is wheeling
Is then easily located. Furthermore.

The only sure preventive measure
ia ample ventilation OF the rOosting
louses. This is necessary because or
tie very large amount Of moisture
which fowls give off from their lungs.
To keep the air reasonably dry this
excess moisture must be carried away
about as rapidly as 1t is expelled from
the lungs. To handle the situation
successfully requires considerable air
circulation through the house. In
mild cases of colds prompt provision
fer ventilation OF the roosting quar-
tiers will ordinarily bring about a rapid
cure. II this does not suffice the

FIRE GUARDS TO PROTECT
GRAIN.

Fire guards of one or more burrows
should be ploughed around all fields OF
shocked or stacked grain, advises the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, to prevent CONGREGATIONS start
ing from the sparks of locomotives,
tractors, threshing engines or from
the careless use OF matches, pipes or
cigarettes. The exigency of the sit
uation demands that farmers make
practical application Of this control.
Farms also should have available fire
fighting equipment, such as chemical
extinguishers or barrels and buckets
Of water.
These first aids in fire fighting are
extremely valuable protection for the
grain in the stack or bin. as well as
for the farm buildings and other prod
uce or live stock In storage or stable.
Precaution should also be exercised
against hot boxes" and other i'm
properly adjusted machinery which
are possible sources Of loss.

the two, judging solely by the appear
ance Of the flowers. The long stiff
stems make them useful for decora-
tive purposes. The fern like foliage
works in well with the flowers. The
attractiveness OF the plant and flowers
and it's simple cultural requirements
are sure to make it popular.
Pyrethrums are in their fullest
beauty in June. but flower on through
the entire summer and autumn. They
thrive in any good garden soil. but the
more manure is incorporated with the
soil the better they grow, Mulching Is
particularly desirable in dry soil.

WINTER HURT APPLE TREES.

Young apple trees that grew most
vigorously in 1917 it now appears were
generally injured most by last win
ter's severe weather. In the case Of
bearing trees the most serious injury
was to trees that bore a heavy crop
in 1917. but where the crop was uni
form the weaker old trees have been
most injured. Trees OF any fruit, with
the possible exception OF the apple,
that are plainly too weak to be worth
keeping should be removed to avoid
injury to good trees from shot hole
borers, according to the State College
Of Agriculture.
In case Of an apple or a pear tree
OF which a considerable portion Of
the top has held its foliage during
the summer It would seem wise to
wait until growth has started next
summer before deciding to remove
1t or to prune it severely. While
dead branches may be removed at
any time, some that appear very weak
now may look much better when
growth starts next season. There will
then be a new layer Of sapwood to
SOAuuCi WdtcT 10 tlo icdNes.
Since the weaker shaded branches
are the ones that have been most
injured. except where the tree was
killed because OF the heavy 1917 crop,
many apple trees that look bad now
are worth more than they seem to be.
1t would seem wise, therefore, II in
pruning such trees only dead wood
were removed until after next sea-
sons growth; then weak wood could
oe removed more intelligently.
Peach trees that have made but a
few inches Of weak growth in most
cases had better be removed.
Since peach trees have also been
badly injured in other peach growing
sections that compete with New York,
this would seem to be a good time for
skilled peach growers to plant. The
! injury to the buds in the nurseries
has been great, and for this and other
reasons the supply Of peach trees for
planting next spring will be very
| small. The prospective planter
therefore. would do well to place his
| order for young trees soon.
