Fifteen steers were divided into three lots of five each, all being dehorned. One lot is turned loose io a large box stall and fed from a common manger, while a constant supply of water is furnished them in automatic water troughs. A second lot is tied in stalls, each animal being supplied with water as in one, while a third lot is tied in stalls and watered by being turned out dai- ly. A record is kept of all food con- sumed as well as the labor required in caring for each lot, and the gain in live weight of each is taken every two weeks. It is yet too early to draw any definite conclusions, except that con- siderably less labor is required to care for the loose steers. Moving Day Comes on Sanday. Persons who contemplate moving in the spring sbould remember that April 1st will come on Sunday this year. As there is a superstitious idea that moving on Friday or Baturday is sure to be attended with bad luck, the probabilities are that the popular mov- ing day will be Monday, April Zod. But as all people are not superstitious, considerable moving will be done on Friday and Saturday preceding the first of April. Was Found Dead, George Breon, an aged farmer, was found dead on Bunday afternoon pear his home at Cammal, in Clinton coun- ty. He started out Sunday morning to drive his cattle to a spring near the farm. He was found dead near the watering trough. Heart disease is sup- posed to have been the cause of death. : Salt for a Chimney.

To Employ any One to Bid for the Owner nt ©» Sale, In the recent case of Rafferty vs. Norris, the superior court of Pennsyl- vans decided an interesting point of law. The case was tried in Clearfield county before Judge Gordon, and the facts were as follows: Rafferty had adverlised a tract of timber land at public auction. Norris was the highest bidder, and after the sale he refused to take the property on | the ground that there was not the | # amount of timber represented in advertisement, and because fraud had | been, as he alleged, practiced by Raf-| ferty. Rafferty then went on and oll advertised and resold the timber and |} having sold it for several hundred dol- lars less than Norris’ bid, they sued Norris to recover difference and also | recover their expenses connected with | the resale. On the trial, upon the] cross examination of plaintiffs, Mr. Norris’ counsel, Messrs, Swoop & Pat- ton, drew out the fact that Rafferty | had employed a party to bid up the] timber land for them to a certain pric and defendant's counsel contended | that this vitiated the sale and render-! ed it fraudulent and that piaintifis| eould not recover. Judge Gordon held, and plaintiffs appealed the { aa 80 case | to the superior court, and in the case | | has affirmed the decision of Judge Gor- | {don and sustained the position of de- { fendant’s counsel that the employ- { ment of a party to bid for the owner at i 8 public sale is a fraud on bidders and rendrs thee sale void and non forcible. | ————— a ———— | How Altoons Froperty Owaers Will Do | Suits are threatened against the city | Councils of Altoona if they fail to ap- propriate $15,000 for the construction | of a storm sewer to carry off the water {that flows along twenty-four streets | with every rain and thaw, sometimes | two and three feet deep, keeping child ren away from school and employes to property along the street.
