The Care of Live Stock. If the testimony of great numbers of the readers of the New York Tribune Farmer is a fair basis for the forma tion of a correct opinion, then what is known as its Veterinary Dapartment is everywhere esteemed highly. It is, however, more than a veterinary de partment. Dr. C. D. Smead, who has had charge of it for more than five years, every week answers very many questions in regard to every variety of livestock known on the American farm, not alone prescribing medicines and treatment, but telling how the diseases cdlght have been prevented, and laying down specific rules for feed and care in Lealth, in sickness and in convales cence. Every farmer keeps some live stock —good veterinarians are scarce. Each inquirer is fully answered, but Dr. Smead goes far beyond this; he believes that any information which one intelligent farmer needs i 3 also needed by hundreds and thousands of others, and he often so broadens his answer as to make it a complete essay on the suject discussed. A year or two ago Mr. B. Walkeen McKeen, of fryeburg, Me., said in a meeting of farmers that a valuable horse had been attacked with a disease of which he had known nothing until he had recently read of it in The New York Tribune Farmer; what Dr. Smead had taught lam enabled him to save his horse. An other farmer arose and said he had had a similar experience. Five or six hun dred dollars saved in one town by one copy ofthe paper! C. C. Waller, M. t , of North Troy, Vt., writes to Dr. Smead, under date of April 23: "I de clre to express my gratitude to you through The New York Tribune Farm er, and to say that I regard you as the most able, practical and thoroughly aafe writer of the present age, and to express my hope that you may live to serve the farmer and our dumb friends for many years to come."

PROMISES 111 KEPI Governor Stuart Displeased With Failure of Legislature to Redeem Pledges MANY BILLS DSE OH CALENDAR Among Them the Measure Extending the Merit System to County Govern ments and Endsley Bill for Equal Distribution cf Coal Cars. Harrisburg. Pa. The legislative session of is now n matter of history. Adjournment was taken Thursday. Besides the hundreds of bills that never got out of committee there were IS2 bills on the state and house calendars that were dumped overboard. Some of them are more or less Important, and their failure to get through will cause seme peo ple a lot of trouble. In the house 110 bills riled on the calendar. Those of most interest were the Endsley bill for the equal distribution of coal cars; Thomas re pealer of the mercantile license tax; Hecht mechauies' lien repealer; Weingartner bill making it unlawful to sell cigarettes to anyone under 21 years of age; Bliss bill permitting municipalities to tax electric poles; Reynolds bill compelling railroads to give switch facilities to shippers needing one or more cars a day. There were 72 bills on the senate calendar that were put to death. The more Important of these were; Mak ing It a misdemeanor for employers to influence the votes of their em ployes; authorizing the removal of the Eastern penitentiary; permitting the truth of the allegation to be shown in defense of libel suits; call ing for constitutional amendment, to abolish tax paying as the qualifica tion for voters. Governor Anything But Pleased. Governor Stuart very plainly told the members of the legislature that he was not pleased with their failure to enact many of the party pledge measures that were throttled. He pointed out to some of the Republi can leaders that they owed it to their party to see that all party promises are redeemed or that the party will have to take the consequences. The governor has already signed about 160 bills, and the great bulk of his work is yet before him. He has 30 days from the adjournment of the legislature to approve or veto bills. If he does not take action on a bill within that time It becomes a law without his signature. It Is pretty safe to say, however, that no •bill will become a law that does not have his signature attached to it for the governor is a man who considers it his duty to sign or veto every bill that is passed. Governor Stuart, by his independent attitude and his desire to see that the public is given a square deal, has made himself tenfold stronger with the people of the state than he was before he was elected governor. By his suggestion $1,00n,000 was added to the biennial appropriation for the National guard, making the total ap propriation for two years ?l,Sofl,oon. This increase Illustrates the gover nor's desire to get. away from the old practice which, under the act of 18f)9, allows the guard to expend moneys in emergencies "not otherwise appro priated." The $1,000,000 represents an emergency fund available in case of war, riot or insurrection. If un used at the end of two years it will become a part of the treasury balance and will have to be reappropriated. Some people thought that the million dollar increase meant that the gover nor expected labor troubles, but this is not the case. The governor sim ply desired to avoid any chance of a repetition of grafting such as was ex perienced in the building of the Capitol. Useless Employes Get $6 a Day. There is to be no reform in the state's salary list, and there will be not cutting off of useless employes. The Miner bill to effect these reforms by abolishing some 40 senate and house positions w«S killed in the house and the house doorkeeper will continue to have 10 assistants to help him watch people file through the two entrances of that chamber. They and the elevator men and all others of that class will continue to draw $6 a day for seven days a week dur ing sessions-of the legislature. The clerks and other employes of the capitol tried very hard to get their salarj Increase bill through, but it died with hundreds of others. How ever. the members of the legislature doubled their own salaries and thought they were doing a service to the country. The Godcharles sal ary readjustment bill went through. This add.s considerably to the salaries of some underpaid people. Governor Stuart doubtless will swing his veto ax most vigorously on some of the bills that have been en acted. He will have this kind of work to perform on many appropria tion measures. The two houses were chary about enacting many revenue laws, but when it came to passing appropriation bills they did not know when to stop. They passed bills appropriating millions of dollars more than the revenues of the state will meet. One striking sample of a pledge Ignore,l !,• if-.-, calling for an exten sion sli: ri political noilviiy law 1 i nil ■ >uni- officerc and em ployes No • fl'o ■ was made by the CAMERON COUNTY PRKSS, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1907 legislature to redeem the platform plank wherein it pledged the people an "investigation of the fact s as tn the abandonment of the construction of competitive railroads by existing corporations." This is the language of that part of the Republican plat form offering some hope for the in jection of life into the South Penn railroad, control of which was secured by the Pennsylvania and all construc tion work promptly stopped. Still an other platform pledge ignored is that promising the people a law placing a limit on franchises for public utilities and the use of public highways. Sought Campaign Material. The Democrats have played a great game this session. They fathered every bill that they thought would get the Republicans into close quar ters. They helped to pass the Coch ran soldiers' pension bill knowing full well that the nearly six million dol lars to be appropriated will mean that many private and public charit able Institutions will be crippled as a result because there will not be enough revenues to meet so heavy a demand. Then when there "was talk about extending the session the Democrats discouraged it all they could. They did not wish the Repub licans to have any more opportunity to redeem their pledges. The Demo crats say that they now have all the campaign material they need for the future. The Democrats occupied a rather conspicuous place in the session of 1907. Not since Chauncey Black was lieutenant governor, some 22 years ago, has a Democrat occupied the position of president pro tern, of the senate until a few days ago when Senator Blewitt, Democrats of Lacka wanna, was called to the chair tem porarily while the appropriation bills were being passed. Nearly all the senators had gone to their homes or were absent from the senate cham ber, and on that particular occasion the only senators in their seats were Democrats. Senator Cyrus E. Woods, who has been presiding officer of the senate, retires from active political life to take af $15,000 position as chief coun sel for the Pittsburg Coal Co. Sena tor Woods is a young man, very popu lar and a good lawyer. Good Roads People Used Weil. The legislature was very good to the good roads people. Among the bills passed during the closing days of the session was one appropriating $200,000 for the care and maintenance of the national road. This is in ad dition to the other roads bills enacted. Among other legislation to reach the governor are the following bills: Authorizing the payment into the courts of common pleas of moneys charged upon lands in and by deeds and other writings when the moneys are due and the persons entitled to it cannot be found, and providing for the extinguishment and discharge of the lien of such charge and the amount payable and for the distribu tion of such amount. Taxing the surplus funds in the in surance departments of trust com panies. Eminent domain for trolley com panies. Reorganizing the department of public grounds and buildings. Joint resolution providing for the advancement of hlstoric.il research re lating to the state by aiding the Pennsylvania Federation of Historical societies in the collection of material for a complete bibliography of the commonwealth. Amending the uniform primaries act so as to permit political parties to fix the date of the state conven tion when it best suits them, instead of compelling them to hold both con ventions within a certain time after the primaries as provided under the law at present. Establishing a state commission for railroads. Providing for the appointment of a clerk for the director of farmers' in stitutes. Making the bucket shop business a misdemeanor. Will Support Quarantined Families. Providing for the payment of the expenses of the sheriff incident to the execution of writs against personal property In counties having a popula tion of 1,000,000 or more. Providing that whenever the head of a family shall be quarantined be cause of an infectious or contagious disease and shall be unable to pay the expense of maintenance and treat ment of his family and himself dur ing the period of quarantine he shall be considered a "poor person" with in the meaning of the poor laws. Providing that children may be ad mitted to schools without having to present vaccination certificates, ex cept. when there is smallpox in the neighborhood. Making employers liable when ac cidents occur to employes. Providing a method to secure lands, buildings or other property acquired under the power of eminent domain. Fixing the pay of sheriffs' watch men at $2 a day and making 12 hours a legal day for such watchmen. Requiring dogs to wear collars to be provided by the owners, together with tags to be attached showing payment of tax, and providing for the killing of such dogs whose owners fall to comply with the act. The last few days of the session were very strenuous. The two houses had many wrangles over appropria tion and other bills, notably the rail road commission bill. There was an all night t3esslon Wednesday night, winding up with considerable feeling engendered .between the senate and Speaker MvCiain of Hie house. Then there was the usual giving of present.;-, on Thursday, th final bitn<!«hal:!n.~ and farewells. BAN". Q.
