Binghamton, Jan. 21.—The open ing of the New York, Pennsylvania and Southern railroad between this city and Williamsport may open up a new territory, which until the past few days has not been thought of by the road or those living along the route. While the backers of the road knew that they were opening up new coal fields they had not the remotest idea that they were enter ing a field were gold might be found ! in paying quantities. The first inti-! mation that gold was to he found in ! that portion of the country traversed by the survey, was received recently j when A. Huistead, a faamer of Terry | Township near Wyalusing, Pa. took to the latter place a sample of spark-1 ling mineral which he had dug up j on his farm and which he believed to be gold. The sample has been, submitted to experts for examina- , tion and sevral who have been in the west say that the mineral has all of the appearance of gold found in the Placer mines there and they are con- j fident that a further examination i .will prove that gold has been found! ; near Wyalusing. Arrangements are j | already being made to make an ex-1 ! tensive survey of the territory if the! j experts report the mineral to be gold ] I i Death ot Master Fred Thomas Ingham.

The meeting , | was called to order by J. It. Bird I member of the State board of agri ! culture at 1:30. I Four of the state lecturers being : present, having just arrived from holding institutes in Wyoming Co. Samuel W. 11. Waltz of Williamsport spoke on poultry raising. Some of the main points advanced were: Keep your poultry comfortable; do not excite them, have a comfortable place for them to live in, with plenty of sunlight and a dust bath. J. H. Peachy of Bellville, Mifflin County then delivered his address on hogs for profit. Breed only full blood stock: raise n breed thajAvill show a good percent of lean meat when ready for market. liaise a breed that will sell the best in the locality where you reside. He favors the black breeds, Polan china or Berk shire. Dr. LA. Thayer of New Castle, Lawercnce Cuynty, then gave us his splendid lecture on "Preserving soil moisture". We wish every farmer in Sullivan County would have ■ heard this address. One of thej main points was to prepare a proper I seed lHil,_by having the''soil well pul-1 verizud, the smaller the particles ol soil the more moisture it contains. The afternoon session was closed by an address by L. W. Lighty of West Berlin Adams County oil "Sta ble Manure". Keep the manure under shelter, save the liquid ma nure, save ammonia by sprinkling South Carolina rock or superphf s phate over manure pile in stable every morning. j Tin) evening session was opened J singing by the Forksville choir, and prayer by Kev.

A song by I | Mi-s Grace Fleming, followed by | an address on " Nature study in the , I public schools'', by Mr. Thayer. j Duck song by four young men. Mr. Lighty then spoke on the " The ! education of our boys and girls and j rural schools". All of these lectur-: ers spoke strongly in favor of ceii- j tralization of schools and the town-1 ship high school: sighting many in-; stances where it has been put into ; successful operation in townships, more sparingly populated and as' mountainous as the' townships of Sullivan County. Saturday morn ing session was opened by an address on " The dairy cow "by L, W. Lighty, the main points being to have thorough-bred stock weight and test milk and know exactly what each cow is doing, thin out the poor > ones, have good stables, keep them lean, feed a well balanced r tion. Dr. Tliaver then spoke on how to j raise clover. The four essential points being: Ist. get the water off your soil so it will not heave, if this cannot be done by narrow land plow ing, drain using tile; 2nd., fill the soil with humus or vegetable matter, if this cannot be done dy stable ma nure, then plow under rye and win ter vetch when the rye is about 15 inches high; 3rd. if the soil is sour sweeten it by using lime or hard wood ashes, and fourth prepare a good seed- bed and sow in July. Mr. Waltz then took up the study of "Corn culture" dwelling especi ally oil the importance of selecting good seed. The afternoon session was opened by music by the choir. From the question box the following were read and discussed, — Will the tele phone have a tendancy to keep tin boys and girls on the farm? Answer yes especially the girls. Can milk be enriched by feed? Answer, no. Mr. Lighty then spoke on feeding the dairy cow, and iMr. Thayer on Commercial fertilizing and alfalfa?
