Local Institute.
The fifth local institute of Bel
fast, was held at Sipes Mill, Jan
uary tith. The moetiug was call
ed co order by tne teacher, Amos
Melltt, who appointed G. C,
Mfllott, chairman.
The questions discussed were :
1. T ie effect ot thorough School
work upon the pupils in after
life. How much whispering do
you allow; how controlled 'i 3. The
vital forces of the school. 4. How
do Vou teach writing?
The school rendered some very
go d songs and recitations, for
which the teacher and pupils de
serve much praise. Reuben Mo'
lott was preseut with his grapho
phone and gave some very excel
lent mufuc, which was enjoyed by
all. Anna Des;ong, secretary.
Enforcement of the Commercial heed
StuHs Law by the Department ol
Agriculture.
The Feeding Stuffs Law of
Pennsylvania provides for. the in
spection of Concentrated F ending
Stuffs found in the markets of
the State to ascertain whether
they are pure and up to the stand
ard of excellence guaranteed by
the manufacturers, and the Sec
retary of Agriculture is charged
with the enforcement of this law
which is now operating to the
great advantage of consumers.
Periodical visits are made by
an agent of the Department into
the various sections of the .State
for the purpose ot collecting sam
ples of goods sold for feeding pur
poses. These samples are for
warded to the chemist of the
Feeding Stuffs control, Depart
ment of Agriculture, at Harris
burg, who carefully analyzes each
sample, notices any violations of
the law and reports the results to
the Secretary of Agriculture,
During the past year over 300
samples have been taken and sent
to Harnsburg for examination.
The chemical work is now going
on and when completed, the re
sults of the analyses together
with such additional information
as may be considered necessary
will be published in a bulletin and
sent free to all interested parties.
Oaly one serious adulteration
has thus far been repoi ted by the
chemist. In October, a firm in
Westmoreland county was selling
at bran, a mixture of wheat bran
and rice hulls. As soou as the
chemist made his report, inform
ation was made against these
dealers who plyaaed guilty and
paid the stipulated hue and the
sale of the goods was stopped.
Between forty and fifty prose
cutions have been brought within
the last month, in ten different
counties, of which fourteen were
aaiutt dealers handling a feed
manufactured by a eompuuy out
side of the State. This braLd of
feed coutaiued from one to four
per cunt, less protein and ala.ut
one and five-tenths per cent, kss
fat than was guaranteed by the
manufacturer. The deficiency in
protein ar.d fat, the two most im
portant nutrients in feeding
stuffs, caused a serious loss to
consumer, varying from five to
seven dollars per ton. The com
pany that sold this material to
Pennsylvania dealers has very
wisely agreed to pay the fine ol
$50.00 and analysis fee of $5.00
for each dealer, withdrew tne in
fenor article from the market or
either lower the guarantee or lm
prove the quality of this braud of
feed. This is an important step
in the right direction and will
prove a great benefit to dairymen
and others using the feeds manu
factured by this firm,
As a result of these prosecu
tions about $2,000.00 have been
and will be collected in tines and
analysis and covered into the
State Treasury to be used in car
rying out the provisions of the
Fioding Stutls Law. This fact,
however, is of minor importance
when compared with the amount
of benefit which will accrue to
dairymen and other dealers with
in the State.
Manufacturersor jobbers ship
ping goods into this State should
properly brand and guarantee
their articles as required by the
Pennsylvania Law for theprctec
of the dealers of the State who
are responsible tor the proper
branding or tagging of feeds they
offer for sale. The Department
of Agriculture is anxious to pro
mote the best interests of all par
ties. It believes in mutual good
will and honest co-oper tion, and
will in no way interfere with legit
imate trade.
The Department will gladly
furnish copies of the iaw on ap
plication.
New Law Provides That Distance t rom
Coflin to Top Must be Seven Feet.
While the hunter has been
chased by the game warden, the
school teacher by the vaccination
fiend; and while the locsl regis
trar will see to it that there is uo
irregularity into or out of this
world, it may be a little satisfac
tion to know that the grave dig
ger has take his medicine along
with the rest of us. les, he
stands a first-rate chauce of get
ting a pinch that he will not soou
forget, for the health law passed
bv the last legislature, "among
other things," says :
"No intermeut of any human
body shall bo made in any public
or private burial ground unless
the distance from the top of the
box containing the coffin or cask
et be at least seven (7) feet from
the natural surface of theground. "
Of course, the grave diggers
consider the law a great hardship.
If it is to be observed to the letter,
they will in some instances be
compelled to secure steam drills
or use dynamite in order to pre
pare a resting place for the dead.
Heretofore, it has been the cus
tom to dig the ordinary grave so
that four or five feet of ground
would cover the box.
To dig a grave to comply strict
ly with the regulation would mean
that the trench would have to be
dug nine and ten feet, deep, and
the undertakers and sextons re
gard the enforcement of the law
as imposing unnecessary hard
ship upon them. It is said that
at the next meeting of the state
organization of undertakers,
special attention will be directed
to the null'fying of the objecion
able regulation.
It is pointed out that for the
purpose of burying an infant, the
casket for winch might only meas
ure two feet in length and half as
wide, it yould be almost impossi
bio to sink a shaft of such narrow
dimensions to suc h a great depth,
as the grave would not be suffi
ciently wide to permit the diggers
to use their tools.

Assembly to Act.
Not only are the traveling men
of Pennsylvania after reform iD
the policy pursued by the Penn
sylvania Railroad in regard to
the sale of mileage books, but it
is said that following the demand
to be made on President Cassatt
for the removal of the if 10 excess
demanded for the bootts a move
ment will be started to secure a
two-cent flat rate.
Threats are being made that
measures will bo offered in the
Legislature to secure the reduc
tion n the regular railroad fare.
Pointing to neighboring States,
which have from two and a half
to one and a half cent rates, and
still other communities that are
striving to have laws passed com
pelling the railroads in those
States to lower their rates, the
commercial men of Pennsylvauia
declare that the three cent fare
is unjust to the men who in their
estimation are responsible for a
large share of the railroad busi
ness.
There is slight doubt that the
Legislature will pass a bill mak
ing a flat rate fare of two cents a
mile.
An idea of what the mem bora
of the Merchants' and Travelers'
Association lose by the $10 depos
it system can be obtained by the
following conservative estimate :
There are -'"Ci members in the-
association. Kstimating euch of
these houses has twenty-live men
on the road an extremely con
Kervative figure thtro is paid in
to the Pennsylvania Railroad by
its mileage system $17,50'!, that
