A stock of the clover meas ured 4 feet 11 inches, and a stalk of the timothy, 5 feet and ten inches. Stock Law. Complaint is made that in cer tain sections of the country live stock is allowed to roam at will to the great annoyance of neigh bors. There is nothing on the statute books of Pennsylvania that will hinder a man from keep ing all the horses, cattle, sheep hogs that he can take care of on his own premises; but they must not be allowed to trespass on the ands of others. There was a time a few years ago, when the aw required that a man must ence against his neighbor's stock Now, a man may remove every panel of fence on his farm except ine fences, and if a neighbor's stock trespass on his land, or damage his crops, the neighbor liable for trespass and dam ages. To recover the damage, a suit may be entered to recover the amount, or the stock trespassing may be shut up and held until reparation is made. Of course, this does not prevent any one from driving his stock on public highways. WaltersBess. Mr. Wilbert J.

The following ! rules were pre pared by the Boston Work-Horre Relief Association whose office is at 15 Beacon street, Boston, Mass. Copies of these as well as Stable Rules, Drivers' Rules and Noon Feeding Rules, can be had free if requests is made at the above ad dress. The rules follow: 1. Load lightly, and drive slowly. 2. Stop in the shade if possi ble. 3. Water your horse a3 often as possible. So long as a horse is working, water in small quan tities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he is going to stand still. Do not fail to wator him at night after he has eaten his hay. 4. . When he comes in after work sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth, and the dock Wash his feet but not his legs. 5. If the thermometer is 75 degrees or higher,, wipe him all j i i over wun a damp sponge, using vinegar water if possible. Do not wash the horse at night. 6. Saturday night, give a bran mash, lukewarm and add a table- spoonful of saltpetre. 7. Do not use a horse-hat, un less it is a canopy top hat. The ordinary bell-shoped hat does more harm than good. 8. A sponge on top of the head or even a cloth, is good if kept wet. If dry it is worse than nothing. 9. If the horse is overcome by heat, get him into the shade, re move harness and bridle, wash out his mouth, sponge him allov er, snower nis legs, and give him two ounces of aromatic spir its of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at nee, using cold water, or, if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth. 10. If the horse is off his feed, try him with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little wa ter; and add a little salt or sugar. s ur save mm oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink. 11. Watch your horse. If he otops sweating suddenly, or if he breathes short and quick, or if his ears droop, or if he stands with his leg3 braced sideways, he is in danger of a heat or sun stroke and needs attention at once. 12. If it js so hot that the horse sweats in the stable at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him. Unless he cools off during the night he cannot well stand the next day's heat. School Letting.

It, of course, happened in Franklin county. Now, the same thing might happen in Ful ton county, and we have the in terests of the good people of this county too deeply at heart not to publish this as a timely warning mi i .i ine siory goes mat were wa3 a man who was too stingy to take his home paper and always sent one of the children over to bor row his neighbor's paper. r i uno evening ne sent his son over to borrow the paper and while the son was on the way He ran into a large stand of bees and in a few minutes his face looked like a summer squash. Hearing the agonized cries of the son, the father ran to his as sistance, and in doing so ran in to a barbed wire fence, cutting out a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a $1 pair of trousers. The old cow took advantage of the hole in the fence, got into the corn field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket, the stingy man's wife ran out of the house, upsetting a four-gallon churn full of cream into a basket of kittens, drown ing the whole flock. She slipped on the cream and fell downstairs breaking her leg and a $19 set of falne teeth. The baby left alone crawled through the spiled cream into the parlor and ruined a $10 carpet. During the excitement the daughter enloped with the hired man, taking the family sav ings with them. More Big Clover. Edgar Hann dropped in to see us Tuesday and reported a won derful growth of clover on his father's farm north of Saluvia. In the fall of 1914, this field was covered with little else than pov erty grass. 50 bushels of stone lime to the acre were put on, the field ploughed, sowed to wheat and fertilized, and in the follow ing spring, Big Red clover was sown. An average oi. two tons of dried clover hay per acre was cut this year. Edgar counted the branches on one stalk, finding 53, each branch averaging 3fr feet in length. REISNER'S Spring Announcement.
