Lelling Hay.
During the past few years hay has
been one of the farmer's best money
crops. There was a time when the
selling of hay from the farm was
looked upon as a bad practics, and
it was predicted that the farms from
which the hay was sold woulu ulti
mately bscome lean and unproductive.
That theory has, however, been pretty
well exploded, for most of the leading
and most successful farmers, from a
point of accumulation of dollars and
the growing of crops, are continuing
fo make Lhe hay crop one of the chief
money crops. The hay in the barns
a! this time, or rather the choice time
othy hay, will no doubt be sold at top
prices as that grade of hay is very
scarce aud is kept cleaned up en the
market at all times,

HARVESTING
The illustration herewith
example of a desperate effort to make
both ends meet, and is that of a tenant
and his family on a bundred scie
farm, immediately east of Centre Hall.
There is much beinz said, just pow,
of how prosperous the farmer is; how
he is buyiog sutomobiles, adding to
his bank account, ete., but here is de-
picted the other side, or an illustra-
tion of how the funds to purchase
au automobile are obtained ; how the
cash to increase the bank account is
earned ; how the daily needs of a
family sre provided for.
On driviog down the Brush Valley
road, a few days ago, the writer ob-
served farmer John Zsllers, tenant on
the Samuel Biusw farm, wheeling a
load of human freight out through the
farm lspe and over a hill; his wife
and two children were hard by the
barrow as the procession moved on.
Expecting to find the children cuddled
in ashock of corn, and the parents
husking the golden ears, the writer
hurried to procure a cameras with
which to reproduce the scene to the
Reporter readers. On reaching the
Zaller corn field, but one child was to
be seen, and she was assistiog ber
elders to harvest the crop, but a little
farther inspection revealed a sight
probably not witnessed anywhere else
in the states. On the sunny side of »
hill, protected by a natural wall of
limestone rock, stood a miniature
bouse, made from a store box, with a
window to the south, and a hinged
door. From a chimpey the smoke
curled gracefully, and through the
window lights peered four big-eyed
youngsters, The door was opened to
their unexpected guest, and the in-
tericr presented a very home like
sppearance, including warmth,
The Zaller family is in very
moderate circumstances ; they are
réariog a family as is seen, and are
striviog to make the proceeds of the
farm pay the bills for the year. To do |
this the wife and mother must sesist
in husking the large crop of corn, and,
mother-like, she is solicitous for her
children, The storebox-house was
constructed for their comfort on these
cold November days, because it was
thought too hezardous to leave them
alone in the farm house,
Not all mothers who helped house
the corn crop in Penns Valley needed
house, or, perhaps, they were grown |

Postal Card Accounts Mallable.
The statement which has gone the
rounds of many local papers stating
that accounts or bills, such as are ren-
dered by gas, waler or other compa-
ples and tax collectors, showing
amounts due by firms or individuals,
are unmailabie, is incorrect,
A recent letter from the Assistant
Attorney General to the postmaster at
Lewistown was aa follows :
“ The Department has made no re

The long established rule of the De
