VOL. LXXXVII. NO. 47 DEER LAW TO CHANGE, PROBABLY. Next Legislature Will be Asked to Change Beason to Ran from December 1 to 15, ** Deer hunters and many men inter- ested in hunting throughout Pennsyl- vania will ask the next legislature to change the deer hunting season and I sincerely trust that a change of the season to make it run from December 1to 156 will be made’ declared Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the state game commissicn. ‘The season just closed has been very success. ful, but there have been people killed and the change in the law should be made on humanitarian grounds, it none other, ‘* After December 1 the leaves are all off the trees and the bird hunters have finished up their hunting,” he con- tinued. * With the leaves off there is less danger of people being killed snd the number of accidents will be great- ly reduced. Deer can be better track- ed and ks snow comes early in Decem- ber in some quarters it will be better for hunting. I think that when we get the figures compiled and show the number of people killed or wounded by mistake that force of these argu- ments will be recognizad.” Dr. Kalbfus says that the deer sea- son has been very successful and that the number of bucks killed will be large, although he says that shooting ofdoes went on. The bodies were found and efforts to arrest the persons responsible will be made, Every game warden, the paid men and the men who act as wardens through love of sport and game pres- ervation, will be asked to make a re- port of the number of deer, pheasants and quail killed. The game official ia of the opinion that the shooting of wild turkeys will be legalized next year, There has been a closed season on turkeys for two years, A — Democrats Plan for All-Year Work. Democratic State Chairman Morris has planned for all-year work—plan- ned to keep the state organization alive every day in the year, and not only for a bri f time before elections. By this plan the organization will be better fitted to combat during the 1916 campaign not only the foe of opposi- tion parties but the discredited ele- ment in its own party that at the last election voted direct for Penrose und rum. Chairman Morris has opened offices of the Btate Committee at 147 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Busi- ness methods will be used, and the same vigorous personal enthusiasm on the part of McCormick, Palmer and the others that marked their work from the day trey smashed the old Democratic * machine” will pre- vail, College Teaching Farmiag to Many by Mall More than 19 000 men and women of Pennsylvania who could pot find time or the funds to attend coflége have studied agriculture by correspondence with The Penuvsylvania State College. About fifty per cent of them have completed the courses, and were awarded certificates of proficiency, * Prof. T. I. Mairs, who has charge of the long-distance instruction, said the courses attracting most attention were: poultry raising, farm book keeping, gardening, fruit growing and general sgriculture. He added that the new course in cooking is rapidly gaining in popularity, ** The euroliment of nore than 1,500 persons each year in these correspond. ence courses,’ said Professor Mairs, ‘is good evidence that teaching sgri- culture by mail has become an im- portant phase of the extension work of the American agricultural col- leges.”” In his opinion it reaches peo- ple who cannot leave the farm or the place of business, Last year, according to Professor Maire, 15000 papers were examined and returned to the correspondence students, He finds the individuals most interested are young farmers, from 20 to 80 years oid, farm women, clerks, business and professions] men, ———— A ———————— Golden Wedding Celebrated, Hon. and Mrs. Alexander G.

It is also asserted that this substitute is easy to make and costs only about two cents a gal- lon. Bince the principal ingredient in the manufacturing process is said to be rain water, the cheapness is evident. Rain water, a secret chemical and a still are the requisites demanded, se- cording to the story that comes out of the west, If this invention Is not of the Keely motor sort, and if somebody is not spreading fairy tales, inroads in the oil trust dividends and much happi- ness on the part of automobilists are about due, It is stated that a test of the foel has been made at Indianap- olis, and that the eflect is apparently the same as if gasoline had been used, It is to be demonstrated at the New York Automobile Bhow, it is said. According to the statement, the in. ventors expect to make their money by selling stills so that the users of motor fuel can make * zoline, '’ as it is called, for themselves. It is to be hoped that this does not turn out like the process for extracting gold from sea waler, ————— A ———————— Transfers of Real Estate, Nanule C. Lytle to Mary E.

Langage Usolng from Wood Palp, At this season of the year when nearly everyone Is killing his hogs for the winter's meat and the ' biggest dinners ’’ and the ** biggest porkers” are so common, it might be Interest. ing to know of some new feature to lessen the work and labor of these “butcherings’”. What tastes and eats better than a yard, more or less, of good smoked country sausage, yet everyone knows how much disagiee- able work it took to prepare the cas- ing. Butit will not be long before everybody will be buying and using sausage casing made from wood pulp, thus doing away with the washing and cleaning of the intestines as st prégent. The wood sausage casing is one of the newest uses to be found for wood pulp and it is already being used commercially by several of the large packing houses in this country and Canada, This sausage casing is made of the best quality bleached sulphide wood pulp snd is more sanitary and more serviceable than the old intestinal cas- ing. Details of its manufacture can. not be given because these are covered by patents. The pulp however, after several processes, is made into thin walled tubes of various diameters, The length of these tubes depends up- on the gkill of the operator of the ma. chine, some of them being 500 to 600 feet long. When these tubes are once wade, they are reverted, and the im- curities are washed out, and the result is a clear, transparent, colorless tube of pure cellulose. This cellulose is with. out fibre, and eutirely without seam or joint. They are finished in a dry state, but are usually let stand a short time so that they do not become hard snd brittle in drying. When dry the tubes are cut to suitable lengths and prepared for the trade. From s sanitary standpoint, these wood casings present several noted ad- vantages, which are free from all diseases which might attack the hog, cleanliness in the process of manufac ture, and absolute antiseptic proper- tien. They also keep indefinitely in the dry state and are not subject to any kiod of decay or putrefaciion. Besides these valuable properties, the wood casing is very elastic which enables it to expand when filled by means of the ordinary filling machine or sausage stuffer. It is also strong enough to stand the subsequent pro- cess of handling, cooking, hsoging snd smoking. The casing cuts as the ordinary cessing, peeling off rather more readily from the meat than does the intestinal casing. Further, it is of uniform dismetsr throughout {is whole length and thus makes s better appearance. It is also uniform, sod does not present the bundles of fibres that are common with the intestinal easing and it Js possible to produce any size casing which may be desired On the whole, this new casing will greatly benefit the sausage maker and those who eat it and will remove alto. gether one of the unpleasant features of every * butchering.” LOCALS Assessor D.
