FARM NOTES.
— Fight weeds with grass.
—Fence the fowls against all marauding
animals.
—Keepa supply of old plaster be-
fore the Da goed
—Cleanliness is effective in keeping the
fowls in health. '
—Both pigeons and geese pair; but ducks,
turkeys and hens do not.
—Bees have been known to fly as far as
seven miles in search of flowers.
—A single swarm bas been known to
make 1,000 pounds of boney in a season.
—Rose combs are better than lap combs
in cold climates, as they do not freeze
easily.
—Much improvement bas been made in
the varieties of our grain®, but pone in our
varieties of grasses.
—It's the under part of a hen’s body that
bas vo protection. All wet soaks in and
chills the hen, thas causing most ailments.
—Bees need ample air in the hive. Re-
move dead bees as far back from the en-
trance a¢ possible to insure free circula-
tion.
—The air in an ordinary family cellar
will not be fis for bees if decaying apples,
cabbage and turnipa are not regularly
out and removed.
—When a sick or droopy fowl is noticed,
and there is a doubt about what ails it, a
good family liver pill is the safest treat.
ment and the chances are it is just what it
needed.
—Great care is exercised in producing
the famous Cotentin butter of Normandy,
which sells in Paris at $1.25 per pound.
The cows are brushed and kept very clean,
the udders washed and dried, and the at-
tendants and wilkers keep themselves
clean. The milk is doubly strained, and
the churning is conducted on the best prin-
ciples. No odors are allowed to come in
contact with the milk atany time, and
even the food and water of the cows are
carefally inspected.
—When the manure is uot decomposed
in the heap it must be decomposed in the
soil before the plants can utilize itas a
food, and the sooner the manure is spread
the better it will be for the crop. As it is
difficult to spread manure on plowed
ground, owing to the labor of hauling over
the rough, soft ground, the method prac-
ticed by those who plow twice is to spread
the manure on the unplowed ground in the
rough (not or and when the land
is cross-plowed later on the manure is more
intimately mixed with the soil.
—One great objection to clover as a horse
feed is the fact that it is frequently uot sut
in time and becomes dusty. The formation
of the plant is such that the leaves go to
pieces very quickly if they are permitted
to become too dry before being cat. Clover
cut when the first blooms appear and made
into bay properly aud properly housed
makes a good feed for any kind of etock,
including borses. It has more substance
than timothy and this is important in a
horse feed, as the stomach: of the horse is
smaller than tbat of some other farm ani-
mals.
— Early spinach is seeded in the fall. The
ground should be plowed and made fine,
plenty of well-rotted manure applied, and
the seed sown in rows about 16 inches
apart, which should be done with a seed
drill baving a small roller to cover and
press the earth on the seeds, the depth of
laoting the seeds being about baif an
inch. The seed should be sown before cold
weather sets in. When the plants are up
let them grow until the ground is frozen,
and then cover with straw, which should
be removed early in the spring. Spinach is
a very hardy plant and is seldom injured
by cold.
—No building on the farm pays better
than a good tool house. It should beso
convenient of access that there need be no
wxouse for leaving farm implements exposed
to the weather when not in use. Properly
cared for, many implements that now last
only afew years ought to be serviceable as
long as the farmer lives to need them. Be-
sides, a tool that has not been rusted, warp-
ed and cracked by exposure will work as
well the second and third year of use as
the first. On many farms the tools are so
much injured by being left ont of doors
that after the first season they cost more
for repairs than they save in labor.
—Cream left to itself will become sour
spontaneously. This is the resultof the
growth of lactic acid bacteria, which feed
upon the milk sugar, and ae a final process
convert it into a lactic acid. Other forms
of bacteria are always present in cream;
some have little or no effect in the ripening
process, while others, if allowed to deveiop,
rod uce undesirable and often obnoxious
vors. To cultivate and develop these
‘wild’! germs is called ‘‘spontaneouns’
ripening, and is often attended with un-
certainty. Good butter-making demands
the use of a ‘‘starter,’’ either home-made
or a pure culture. The former should be
made of selected skim milk.

The sexton of the church where the cere-

“The present distinguished governor
of this commonwealth gave utterance
not long ago to the smug sentiment
that ‘Pennsylvania has few ills worthy

Philadelphia as a ‘most potent politi

followed in matters of legislation.
“In a short time the commonwealth
was aflame with revelations of organ.

CRIMINAL EVIDENCE FOUND
Philadelphia, Sept. 4.—District Attor-
ney Bell, after an investigation of the
affairs of the Real Estate Trust com-
pany, which failed last week, estab-
lished direct evidence of criminality,
with more than one person responsible.
Arrests are now absolutely certain, and
it is known that the suspected persons
have been placed under surveillance.”
“The deposits have been swept away,”
said Mr. Bell. “They have been looted.
My investigation shows that more than
one person is implicated. There will
be arrests, but how soon I have not de-
cided. I interrogated Directors Junkin,
Houston, Benson and Porter and a
number of under officials of the trust
company. 1 secured much evidence
from them. I shall continue my in-
vestigation and will examine Treasurer
North and Assistant Treasurer Colling-
wood. I have found no evidence that
the trust funds were tampered with
beyond the $50,000 already reported,
but I have not concluded my investiga-
tion of this department.”
That it is the intention of the depos-
itors to place the burden of responsi-
bility for the failure of the bank upon
the shoulders of the directors has be-
come known. Counsel representing
$500,000 of deposits declared they were
in a position to prove the liability of
the directors. They propose, in the
event of the directors being unable to
evolve a satisfactory plan for the re-
organization of the company, to adopt
measures which shall insure some ben-
efits to the depositors.
A marked change of front was mani-
fested in the attitude of members of
the board of directors toward reimbur-
sing the depositors of the concern.
Heretofore it had been declared that
the directors stood ready and willing
to advance any amount of money to
readjust the affairs of the company,
and thus rid themselves of the stigma
of moral or criminal negligence in al-
lowing the president to wreck the com-
pany.
John H. Converse, one of the direc-
tors, denied this statement. He said:
“I stand ready and eager to pay my
proportion of the losses, but this pro-
portion will be entirely based on my
holdings of the company's stock. This
I shall pay, and nothing more.”
District Attorney Bell is also making
a rigid investigation into the work of
the executive committee of the board
of directors of the trust company. It
is conceded that had the executive com-
mittee checked up the contents of the
company's vaults the directors would
not now be able to say that they
neither knew nor had ever heard of the

Kidney Pills is an excellent remedy and one that
strjetly fulfills its promises. In the fall of 1897 1
gave for publication in our local papers a state-
ment covering my experience with this remedy,

month of June, 1903, I just as enthusiasticall
recommend it as I did at that time. Doan’s Kid-
