More tractors will be made and sold this year than ever before; and this year’s record will be broken next year —_if conditions remain good and the country generally prosperous. A lot of farmers visit tractor dem- onstrations and get not a thing out of them. They stand around on the head-lands and look wise,—and are just as wise when they get home as when they started out in the morning. In this State only two demonstrations of any size will be held this summer, one at Harrisburg, August 12-13; and the other at Butler, August 21-22. The way to get something out of these demonstrations is, first to at- tend them; and second, to observe the following suggestions in studying the tractors on exhibition: 1. Observe with great care the relative ease with which tractors pull their loads. What is the rating? How many plows are being pulled? Does the motor seem to labor under its load or does it give evidence of reserve power? 2. Is there noticeable slippage of the drive wheels? If so there is lack of traction, which might be due to lack of weight or to poor design of lugs, granting that the footing is rea- sonably good. : . 3. Observe the ease with which the operator handles his machine. Are two wheels in the furrow or are all wheels on the land? If the latter, does side draft seem to continually pull the front wheels toward the fur- row? 4. Is the operator placed in a com- fortable position? Is he protected in any way from the dust and dirt? 5. Do you see gears exposed where they will collect dust and mud or are they enclosed? 6. Does the tractor seem to pack the soil either when plowing or when working on plowed land? Do the traction lugs seem to be effective in preventing packing of the soil as well as in giving traction? 7. Does the machine have a neat, finished appearance, giving evidence of good materials and good workman- ship? Can it be adapted to different kinds of work? 8. Observe the number and size of fitting tools which the tractor seems to pull easily. 9. Observe the work done bv the different plows and note the attach- ments with which each is eauipped. Also study the harrows and other tools shown. R. H. OLMSTEAD, County Agent. Goats’ Milk Pure and Fresh. Should you like now to see the goat giving proof of its tame, trustful na- ture? I will tell you how the milk- peddler of our southern towns are in the habit of leading their flocks of goats through the streets, to sell from door to door the milk freshly drawn under the buyer’s very eyes, writes J. H. Fabre in “Our Humble Helpers.” What would the timid sheep do if led throught the turmoil and confusion of a populous town? It would take fright and run awoy, and in its fool- ish terror it would get crushed under the wheels of passing vehicles. The goat is not alarmed at anything. Throngs of people, the noise of traf- fic, the barking of quarrelsome dogs, to all this it is quite indifferent. The horned company, its approach herald- ed by the tinkling of little bells, moves with a confident and familiar air in the midst of all this hustle and bustle, as if in the perfect solitude of the mountains. With graceful co- quetry it looks at its reflection in the large shop windows and strikes the flagstones of the pavement with ring- ing hoof. At the customers’ doors, which the flock never fails to remem- ber, it comes to a halt. Each goat in its turn is taken in hand by the milk- maid, and the warm milk spurts foaming from the udder into the tin measure. They go on through the crowd to another customer, and so it continues, a measure of milk at a time, until the flock has exhausted its day’s supply. Fuel Shortage Certain. Washington, D. C.—Urging Con- gressional investigation of the coal situation, government officials and coal operators told the House Rules committee that a fuel shortage was impending. “Coal men fear the situation may get away from them, and that prices may rise $5 or $6 a ton,” declared C. E. Lesher, of the Geological Survey. “Their advertising of the situation is in hope that this may be averted, for they know that the condition would reflect on them.” Anthracite production since Janua- ry 1 was 10,600,000 tons less than last year and bituminous 74,700,000 tons, Lesher said, due to lack of demand. “The only remedy is for the consum- ng public to lay in supplies now,” he said. George H. Cushing, managing di- rector of the American Wholesale Coal Association, said the coal short- age in the East and Northeast during the war would be repeated this win- ter, adding that its extent would de- pend on the industrial activity in those sections. Packers’ Big Reserves. Chicago.—In a report issued the of- ficials of the Illinois Department of Agriculture declare that enormous quantities of meats, butter and eggs are now in storage in Chicago ware- houses, chiefly under control of the five big packers. The report states that since the last regular compila- tion of figures on June 1, the stocks of these commodities have grown in ab- normal proportions and that their re- lease would go far toward relieving the present shortage and tend to re- duce prices. According to report the following quantities are at present stored in Chicago: Beef, 85,971,000 pounds. Pork, 70,517,000 pounds. Butter, 7,893,000 pounds. Eggs, 1,280,000 cases, or 360,000, 000 dozen. The figures in the report will be used by District Attorney Clyne in the Federal government’s inquiry in- to the high cost of food products in Chicago. SR STUDY +A CURE FOR SLANG. The boy, a lad of ten, was quick to | learn and particularly good in “lan- guage,” as his report card showed. | His vocabulary was not so choice as varied, and the slang of the street was irresistible. “By heck, I'm cold!” he would ex- claim as he came in, and at a request from his mother would inquire, “Who do you think I am?” She explained to him that these phrases were not used by well educat- ed people, but he was unconvinced. “All the fellows talk that way, but I can cut it out if you say so.” But he continued to use the expres- sions; and, while his mother did not wish to “nag,” she felt that she ought to show in some way that she disap- proved and that the language was un- desirable, even though it was not pro- fane. One evening as she was reading aloud from Swiss Family Robinson and noting its formal, precise sentenc- es, a sudden thought came to her. She acted on it instantly, and continued to read. “Jt seems absolutely necessary, my dear wife,” I began, ‘to return at once to the wreck while it is yet calm, that we may save the poor animals left there, and bring on shore many articles of infinite value to us, which, if we do not now recover, by heck, we may finally lose entirely. On the oth- er hand, I feel there is an immense deal to be done on shore, and that I ought not to leave you in such an in- secure shelter in that tent.” The boy raised her eyes in startled surprise, but the mother continued her reading: “Cut it out. Return to the wreck by all means,” replied my wife, cheer- fully. ‘Who do you think I am? Pa- tience, order and perseverance will help us through all our work, by heck; and I agree with you that a visit to the wreck is without doubt our first duty. Come, let us wake the children and set to work without de- lay.’ ” The boy’s face was red with embar- rassment, which changed to anger as his sister giggled. “That isn’t there,” he declared, rather impatiently, but the mother continued her rcading, with no com- ment at all, but she inserted no more slang. She had shown him for once just how the words sounded to her. He sulked a little during the even- ing, but was himself again at break- fast. And, when his mother asked whether he wished another dish of oatmeal, he cried, “Yes, it’s good, by —Yes, mother.” He did not overcome the habit at once, but he had become conscious of how the words sounded and in time he succeeded. His mother saw he was trying, and they never spoke of that peculiar page in Swiss Family Robinson.—Christian Endeav- or World. Lightning Calculation. The following “short cut” in addi- tion is much used by expert account- ants and auditors, also by bank and insurance clerks. The following ex- ample practically explains itself: 6,478,35 3,514,62 2,398,27 7,143,65 8,343,79 1,085,64 2,007,39 4,586,72 5,888,27 9,847,23 51,302,93 53 51,302,93 Instead af “carrying” from one col- umn to another, set down the sum of each column by itself, as shown above. The sum of these smaller amounts will be the total of the whole. The recommendation of this method, where one has to work rapidly, is that if the figurer’s attention is dis- tracted in any way, thus causing an error, only the column then being added would be affected, and the mis- take could be corrected in a fraction of time.—The Presbyterian. ——For high ciass job work come to the “Watchman” office.

Helpful Words FROM A BELLEFONTE CITIZEN. Is your back lame and painful ? Does it ache especially after exer- tion? Is there a soreness in the kidney re- gion? These symptoms suggest weak kid- neys. If so there is danger in delay. Weak kidneys get fast weaker. Give your trouble prompt attention. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. har neighbors use and recommend em. Read this Bellefonte testimony. Mrs. Fred K. Houser, 10 Potter St., says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and found them very beneficial, in fact, Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me of very serious kidney trouble. I gladly recommend Doan’s to any one bothered with weak kidneys.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Houser had.

For the first time in its history a Nebraska wheat and corn farm has sold for $1,000,000. The transaction involved a 4320-acre tract that has been under cultivation, seventeen miles from Lincoln, for over forty- five years, situated upon the main line of a railroad. It was bought by Woods Bros., of Lincoln. They now operate the largest grain farm inthe State in the territory north of Oma- ha. It is a 5600-acre tract that Nel- son Morris, the packer, used for years for grazing cattle on. The Woods Bros. put in a $40,000 drainage sys- tem, and made it worth $200 an acre. They now operate 23,000 acres of farm land, in addition to several large cattle and horse ranches. Literal-Minded. Mrs X (returning home)—Mercy! However did the child get that awful bump ?
