One of the scientists predicts that the women of the future will be bald headed. Pshaw! He is dreaming. If women were bald-headed, how could they use hatpins? The Montana bride who had never spoken to her prospective husband un til a few minutes before the marriage ceremony will probably make up for her lack of loquacity. Three thousand girls are taking a commercial course in the Boston high schoools. Perhaps this Is one of the reasons why schoolboys are being taught to sew and darn.

WILL HELP FARMER EFFECT OF RECIPROCITY AGREE MENT WITH CANADA. Provides Better Market for His Pro ductions and Cheapens Price of Many Things That He Has to Purchase. The American farmer may be a little bewildered at this moment. He is be ing assured on one hand that the re ciprocity agreement with Canada will ruin him. Other men, among them such old and stanch friends as Secre tary Wilson, are assuring him that not only can it do him no harm but that it will be of service to him In that It will give him a better market for some of the things he produces and cheapen the price of some he has to buy. For tunately, the farmer Is In a position to consider the question dispassionately. He has been doing remarkably well for several years. He Is not worrying where the money is to come from to pay the interest on his mortgage. He has paid it off and has money in bank. it should be an easy matter to con vince the average American wheat grower that the free admission of Canadian wheat canhot injure and may benefit him. The price of wheat for the world is fixed at Liverpool. The price would not be affected by the free ad mission of Canadian grain. There would simply bo a more extensive In terchange of wheat. American millers would buy more Canadian hard wheat for mixing purposes, and Canadian millers would buy more American soft wheat. I>ast year Canada took a mil lion dollars' worth of wheat of the Uni ted States. But for the Canadian duty, which it is proposed to repeal, more would have been taken. The reciprocal removal of duties would make a broader and steadier market for both countries. There would be no more attempts to run a wheat corner In Chicago. The most daring speculator would regard it as too desperate an undertaking when he had the Canadian supply to reckon with. While the price of wheat would be steadied the value of farm lands would not be affected. —Chicago Trib une. The Tarlf*. Whatever happens—extra session or no extra session of congress—this is going to be a tariff year in these Uni ted States of America. If the pact with Canada fails at this session and an extra session is called to consider It, that will mean at least a protracted and spirited controversy. In a way, that instrument has Increased interest in the whole tariff question. It has quickened the national pulse. Both Democrats and Republicans are seeing things a little more broadly and inti mately than ever before. Here Is re ciprocity in a form that he who runs may read. The proposition Is definite and easily understood. If we want a larger market right at our door, hero is the chance to acquire it. If the pact fails at this session, and the matter goes over until next winter, it will still be a lively subject of dis cussion in the press and on the stump meanwhile. Governor Foss of Massa chusetts in particular should welcome It. He claimed his election to congress a year ago and his election to the gov ernorship in November on the score of his advocacy of reciprocity with Cana da; and next November Massachusetts holds another state election. Moreover, the pact Is certain to grow In interest abroad, not only In Great Britain, but on tho continent, and when Its full significance has been appraised there, what is said by the foreign press and by foreign statesmen will add to our own interest in tho subject. Future Will Decide. There has been mere or less com ment, humorous and otherwise, regard ing Guam, that little island far off in the Pacific which as a result of tho war with Spain became .1 possession or the United States. But according to facts brought out in discussion in the house of representatives Guam may have important possibilities as a pro ducer of potash, nitrates and other fer tilizers essential to the farming indus try of this country. Nobody thought much of Alaska when Mr. Seward bought it, and look at what has been produced there! Guam Is not as big as Alaska, yet who knows but it will turn out relatively as valuable? Indorse President's Policy. President Taft's journey west was a triumphal procession, not merely for himself as president of the nation but for that principle with which he is now so closely identified and which he is putting into active form —reciprocity with Canada. The president was justi fiably delighted to find that the people were ready for this reciprocal relation with Canada, and his brief trip strengthened reciprocity not only in the states which he visited, and as a reflection therefrom throughout the country, but In a very practical way by having its inflence upon the action of congress.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1911. MARKET FOR AMERICAN GOODS Up to Manufacturers to Adapt Them selves to the Desires of Their Foreign Customers. The reports of our consuls abroad with singular unanimity advise our ex porters to pay particular attention to the adaptation of our methods of sale, of preparation of materials and of packing them to suit the habits and customs of the foreign merchants and meet the demands of their customers. For years It has been found that either lack of knowledge of or inatten tion to the wishes of the foreign mer chants in these respects has been a great barrier to the progress of our export trade; but our manufacturers, since our closer touch of late years with Mexico, Cuba and other Spanish- American countries and the freer in tercourse with China, Japan and In dia, have improved very much in their methods. The money our manufacturers will receive from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the countries of Europe, Asia and Africa, Australasia and the Isles of the oceans will all make for large pay rolls In our own states and a greater prosperity in every farm house and city home In the land. Our export trade can he more than doubled In the next ten years, and the effect of that increase will be to the advantage and benefit of the people of every state. A statement was made a few days ago that a British agency had placed an order In the United States for 5,- 000 automobiles. While that was a di rect benefit to the manufacturers who received the order, it also contributed to machinists in New England, to coal miners in Ohio and Pennsylvania, to iron ore workers in Minnesota, to freight carriers on the lakes and upon the railways, to steel mills in Pennsyl vania and Ohio, to workingmen in In diana and Michigan, and to longshore men on the docks of the Atlantic ports. When that order Is filled It brings mil lions of dollars of foreign cash to be utilized in the business of this coun try. Postal Savings Banks. The first month's operations of the postal savings banks are very satisfac tory to the government officials. Post master General Hitchcock announces that the total deposits amount approx imately to SOO,OOO, and that this aver age continued throughout the year will make an aggregate of $750,000. The amount thus far received exceeds the average per month for the best year of the British system, which has long been In effect. The postmaster general thinks the plan can be extended, and declares that if he had the requisite means at his disposal he would open 500 additional banks at once. The Re publican party favored the establish ment of the banks "for the conveni ence of the people and the encourage ment of thrift," and the system seems to be getting in its work. Farmers Will Be Gainers. Here and there, now and then, an individual farmer will make a little less, because of reciprocity, but the farmers taken as a whole would be galuers as producers. They would get no less for any of their crops; they would get more for some. Now, how woult 4 they stand a 9 consumers? The farmers are consumers of lumber and shingles. The reciprocity agreement would cheapen both of them. They have been complaining of the high cost of those articles for some years. Now is the time to bring down the price. Democratic Discomfiture. The way of the aspiring Democrat who wants a chance at the nomination for president is not easy these days. An Ohio organization of men calling themselves progressive Democrats has started into oppose the selection of Governor Harmon as the presidential candidate. This backfire In his own state must be discomfiting to the Ohio executive. And the situation becomes still more complicated with William J. Bryan squinting quite strong'.y in the direction of Governor Wilson of New Jersey. Proper Handling of Tariff. President Taft has shown the way to handle the tariff question as a business proposition, practically taking It out of politics. It is so simple and so obvious that it is astonishing it was not adopt ed long ago.

ANGORA GOATS VALUABLE AS PASTURE SCAVENGERS One Animal to Acre Will Keep Briurs, Weeds and Bushes Completely Subdued on Land That Is Inclined to Grow Up in Wood. Angora Goat and Does. My experience with the Angora goat for the past five years has proved that one goat to the acre will keep the briars, weeds and bushes com pletely subdued in land that is in clined to grow up In blackberry briars and hickory, oak, rod bud, dogwood, sumac and similar growths, writes Ru fus Lester of Wayne county W. Va., in the Orange Judd Farmer. At the same time, the land will yield as much pasture for horses, cattle, hogs or sheep as it would if the goats were not on it. All kinds of stock seem to do well in the same pasture with the goats. For the goat to be of best service the underbrush should be cut out or fire should run through the woods, so as to kill the small timber. The large timber should be girdled so as to kill It, and the goats will then keep the sprouts down until the roots of the timber die out and blue grass will sod the land. This will require about FRUIT TREE PUNTING POINTS Should be Placed in Ground While Dormant In Well Drained Soil With Hole Large Enoash to Spread Roots. (By PROF. JOHN W. LLOYD, Illinois Farmers' Institute.) 1. When to plant fruit trees: While they are dormant; while the ground Is in a workable condition; late in the fall after growth has stopped, or early in the spring before It has be gun. 2. Where? In well-drained soil. 3. How? Dig an ample hole; spread the roots out in their natural position and pack fine earth nround them. It is handy to separate the clods from the fine soil in digging. There is always a balance between the roots and branches of a tree, so if many roots have been cut off in dig ging the tree from the nursery, a cor responding amount of the top must come off. If trees rre planted in the fall some precaution should be made against their being heaved out of the ground by alternate freezing nd thaw ing. This can bo done by spreading a thick layer of straw or manure around the tree. There are tour esrential points in the care of fruit trees. They are: 1. Tillage. 2. Fertilization. 3. Pruning. 4. Protection from enemies. Tillage Is just as necessary in tree raising as in corn raising, and for the same reasons: To avoid the competi tion of other plants, to conserve mois ture and to render plant food avail able. Intelligent pruning is also very nec essary to raising fruit. Each bud on a tree is capable of giving rise to a branch, and if every branch is allowed to grow the tree will become too dense. We must thin out the branches In the tree tops or we will have little fruiL It takes moisture to develop an apple and sunlight to color It: so the foliage must not be too thick. Pruning Is also employed to make the tree as sume the desired shape. It should also distribute the large branches equl distantly, as nearly as possible. .It Is UNSUSPECTED WATER DANGERS Cesspool ' r° ° ' ° [°ojj at° ° oo c p** " » qo; V^ .N'-- • . . X>.'.r .

The Angora goat is not afraid •! dogs and can protect Itself well against their attacks. They are fond of but ting each other in play, but I never saw one attempt to fight other stock. It requires some kind of fence to keep the goat in which he cannot stand on the top of or climb up. The best fence for Angora goats is the woven wire fence. This fence need not be over 40 or 42 inches high. The fence must be close to the ground, so they cannot crawl under. When their hair is long enough to protect them goats will often crawl through a barbed wire fence, if the wires are not very close or the posts close together with the wires well stretched. Goats will not jump over any fence, they want to climb up, and then they will jump down, or they will jump up on top of the fence and then down; but they never jump over a fence like a njMle or steer. always best to grow a good strong branch on the southwest 6lde of the tree, where the hot suns and strong winds come from. In pruning, we should cut the limb in such a way that It will heal quickly. To do this the limb should always be cut as close to the body as possible, and parallel with ft. A saw should be used, and the wound must be coated over with white paint or something similar, to prevent weathering and in fection from bacteria or fungus growths. Another important thing is to keep trimming oft the ends of the limbs on young trees. There are three kinds of enemies that trees must be protected from. The first of these includes rabbits, mice, etc. A tall piece of heavy paper tied around the base of the young tree, or u piece of wire screening will set tle this matter. The second class of enemies contains the Insects, of which the scale insects are the most danger ous. The scale insect can be controlled by spraying with a lime-sulphur wash and the chewing Insects by spraying with paris green. The third class of enemies consists of fungus diseases. These can be controlled by spraying with Bordeaux mixture, which is com posed as follows; Four pounds copper sulphate, four pounds lime, 50 pounds water. Best Lubricant for Machinery. Where the pressure is heavy the lubricant should be thick in order to resist being squeezed out under the load. For light pressures oil should be used. Thus for a wagon heavy grease is best, while for a cream sep» arator of high speed a thin oil 19 necessary in order that its viscosity will not add to the friction. Solid substances in a finely divided state, such as graphite, are often used fectively to reduce friction. This is regarded as a good practice in hand ling the bearings of a windmill, which can only be looked after occasionally. Peaches on Grape Vines.

Consumptives in Syria are treated today much in the same way as the lepers have been for the last 2,000 years. Tuberculosis is a comparative ly recent disease among the Arabs and Syrians, but so rapidly has it spread that the natives are in great fear of it. Consequently when a member of a family is known to have the disease, he is frequently cast out and compelled to die of exposure and want. A small hospital for consumptives has been opened at Beyrout under the dlrecUon of Dr. Mary P. Eddy.
