If not, better look it over now. | Less than five per cent. of the cattle in the United States are pure bred. ih York ranks first among the counties in Pennsylvania in the number of can- neries, It is estimated that about 98 per cent. of the onions grown for commercial pur- poses in the United States are grown from seed. wea Never so much plowing done duting the month of March as this year; neither were the roads in such good con- dition, is the word that comes, from In- diana county, The consensus of opinion this year is that there is plenty of good seed corn, However, the wise farmer will not take it for granted but will test his seed to make doubly sure. All who have an ex- tra supply of good seed should take pains to save it against possible future need. No man knows what Jack Frost and other elements may do to the crop this year and good seed properly taken care of will suffer no deterioration within the next twelve months, Newspaper Changes Hands, ™" ¥ The Mercersburg Journal, a weekly. newspaper which was published at Mer- cersburg, by George A.

Philipsburg was the scene of another costly fire which was discovered shortly | before five o'clock Thursday morning in the Grant block, corner Front and Pres- queisle streets, and which, before the flames were controlled, virtually gutted the second and third stories, and spread to the Dunwiddie residence, which was also badly burned and contents damaged by both fire and water, Tenants on the second floor, where the fire originated, were: Dr, F. K. White, dentist, whose equipment, valued at $4,000, was destroyed, insurance, $1200 ; Bell Telephone Company, $10,000 loss; Huntingdon & Clearfield Company, $6, 000 ; the Misses Adams furniture and personal property, complete loss, insur- ance, $1,000, The third story was occupied as a lodge room by the two Masonic organ-¥ izations. All their property, valued at $6,000 was destroyed. They carried $3 450 insurance. The Moshannon chap- ter of the Red Cross rented a room from the Masons, where it had headquarters and a work room, The Red Cross care ried no insurance, and among the losses were eight sewing machines, soo pounds of yarn, 50 sweaters, 100 suits pajamas, 115 kiddy dresses, petticoats, 03 skirts, 60 camelshair convalescent robes, 75,000 yards of sewing cotton, and buttons, Most or probably all of the damage on the first floor was from water. Trout: man’s drug store was deluged. His loss is nearly complete. Ibberson’s carried a stock valued at between and $18,000 in millinery and ladies’ furnish- ings, and had $6,000 insurance. Most of the stock in this store hopelessly ruined, A. W. Marks’ suffered from the water, He carried big stock and it was likely much aged.

Wik { Ta fol 1 gicaied the Long nose ted eveliron The first locomotive used on the Champlain & St. Lawrence railroad came from Europe, accompanied by ar engineer who, for some unexplained reason, had it caged and secreted from public view. The trial trip was made by moonlight, in the presence of a few interested persons, and it is not de scribed as a success. Later, the ime ported engineer made several aftempts to set the Kitten—for such was the nickname applied to this ploneer loco motive—in motion toward St. Johns but in vain; the engine proved refrac tory, and horses were temporarily sub stituted for it.
