We heard of two Susquehanna
county dairymen within the past
two weeks the thought of whom
we can't rid ourselves of. One bad
a herd of 48 cows and bis milk check
for the month of November was
$G()0. Incidei.tly he said bis feed for
the month was about $l;">0. This
same man said he intended increas
ing the herd by two and expect
ed in a year to clear $5,000-
This man, by the way has oneof the
best kept farms along the scientific
lines, although not a graduate from
an agricultural school to our know
ledge, gleaning bis information from
periodicals and bis experience ol
others. The other man said dairy
ing didn't pay and was going to sell
his herd. We didn't inquire how
many cows he kept or their breed.
You don't have to inquire either.
Both of us know, because it isselt
evident, and it is not necessary to
point the moral.
Residents of Summit Hill, one of
the mining towns near Mauch
Chunk, were witnesses to the spee
| tacular sight of a portion of a por
j tion of a mountain sinking into the
j mine of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company at that place Sunday after
j noon.
The mine which is one of the rich
j \st iii the anthracite district, has
j been on lire for nearly the last forty
years. The officials have expended
I thousands of dollars in a vain at
i tempt to to extinguish the fire, so
! that the mine can be worked.
It is thought that the lire lirs eat
j on its way upward until so near the (
] -url'aiM as to cause the portion of the j
| mountain for a distance of nearly I
i live hundred yards to cave in. \S it
i nesses *> <be sight say that a flrey
| sheet of flame flashed up from the
i ground.
The settling of the mass of rock
| and dirt was accompanied by such a
I shock and roar, us to lead the resi
' dents for miles around to believe
j that it was an earthquake. llun
i dreds were attracted to the scene,
i while other spectators came and
j went.

The American nation ranks lirst
