The Milton residence known as
Rose Hill, of Congressman Dicker
man was entered last week by burg
lars who ransacked the entire house.
Mr. Dickernian and daughter have
been in Washington since the open
ing of Con jress, and until he returns
home it will not be known how
much the robbers succeeded in
getting. Kvry closet and drawer
in the house was gone through and
the contents scattered about the
rooms. It was evident that the |
theives were after money or jewelry j
as a systematic search was made.
There was considerable excite- j
ment at Bucknell University, at i
Lewisbnrg last week when it was!
reported that a case of smallpox had j
been discovered. A member of the
freshmen class was exposed to the]
dread disease during the holiday.va- j
cation. When the young man was;
taken ill he was immediately quar- 1
antined in the town hospital, four;
blocks from the college building, un- j
der the care of an experienced nurse!
and under strict guard. The rooms
at the ['diversity and the student's I
clothing were fumigated by the
borough Board of Health, and the
students were required to be vaeei- 1
nated. The physicians, however,
are of the opinion that it is a case of
varioloid and that there is no danger
of an epidemic. Only two students
left Lewisburg on account of the
scare.
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 ]

{ The Fanners' Institute for Sullivan
! County convened in the M. E.
Church at Forksville, Friday after
! noon Jan. 20th 15)05. 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. K, E. Huntley. Mr j
P.-achy then spoke of"The farmer ,
b.»y and his education". 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?
After a vote of thanks to the speak
ers, the institute adjourned without
holding an evening session, as the
speakers left to take the evening
train at LaPorte. The institute was
well attended at ev< ry session and
vv as considered a success by every
farmer in attendance.
