Ridding Fields of Dodder.
There has been considerable
complaint this year in regard to
the appearance in grass fields of
the plant known as Dodder. A
specimen was sent to the De
partment of Agriculture from
Lancaster county, and Professor
II. A. Surface, the State Zoolo
gist, gave the following informa
tion in regard to it:
The parasitic plant which you
sent us is Clover Dodder (Cuscu
ta Glomerata), as you suggested.
1 think that this weed will be en
tirely destroyed in the usual
three or four years' rotation of
crops, and even in less time. The
best means of getting rid of it is
to pnt the field into cultivation,
or, whero this 13 not practical,
mow it as soon and as often as it
comes into bloom and thus keep
it from going to seed.
"It produces seed of its own,
and these grow, sending up stalks
until they are high enough to
reach som a plant to which they
fasten, and from which they

uraw nourishment its own
roots and stalk then die. It was
doubtless brought into your field
in the grass seed which vou

Snpcrvisors Are Entitled to Pay,
Jungo Schull, of tho Perry-J un
iata district, recently rendered
an important opinion in the case
of the Supervisors of Tuscarora
township vs. the township to re
cover wages for services as sup
ervisors. He decided that the
supervisors are' entitled to pay
for their services. This will ap
ply to supervisors of all other
townships. It settles a question
which has been in controvessy ev
er since the new Jaw was passed
and settles it riijht. Supervisors
should be paid for their services
which is just and proper we
think.

A true copy of the Joint Resolution
HOHKRT McAFEK,
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
OKNliKAL DIHRCTORV.
Life's a Funny Proposition,
Man comes into the world with
out his consent and leaves it
against his will. During his stay
on earth his time is spent in ono
continuous round of contraries
and misunderstandings. In his
infancy he is an angel; m 1ns boy
hood he is a devil; in his manhood
he is everything from a lizard up;
if he raises a family he is a
chump; if ho raises a check he is
a thief, and then the law raises
Cain with him; if he isapoor man
he is a poor manager and has no
sense; if he is rich, he is dishon
est, buf- considered smart; if he
is in politics, he is a grafter and
a croon; if he is out of politics.
you can't place him, as he is an
undesirable citizen;' if he goes
to church he is a hypocrite; if he
stays away from chinch, he is a
sinner; if he donates to foreign
missions, he does it for show; if
he does'nt, he is stingy and a
tightwad.'' When he first
comes into the world everybody
wants to kiss him; before he goes
out they all want to kick him. If
he dies young, there was a great
future before him; if he lives to a
ripe old age, he is in the way, on
ly liviDg to save funeral expenses.
