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.

Take Care of Your Horse.
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.

Time! j Warning.
The following story is printed
in the Franklin Repository and
must be true or how could they
print it. 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.
