After the early peas were picked and the potatoes dug the land on which they were grown was cleared of vines, plowed with a one horse plow and pul verized by means of the narrow tooth guittvator and a one horse planker. It was then planted to late crops, as fol lows: One-half row celery, one and •De-half rows turnips, one-half row winter radish, one-quarter row spinach And one-quarter row letttKe. This was 011 July 2:?. On the same day string beans were planted in the space pre viously occupied by the early planting of the same crop. This half row was not replowed. The old vines were sim ply hoed off and the ground hoed over. A few cucumbers for pickles were also planted iu the vacant spaces among the early cucumbers. For the celery a furrow was opened with the one horse plow, and the plants, which had been grown in a seed bed, were set In the bottom of the furrow. A few days after the plants were set a heavy rain washed the dirt into the furrow and nearly buried them. 'I he earth had to be loosened around each plant by means of a knife. Not many days later another heavy rain necessi tated a repetition of the operation. As the celery grew the furrow was gradu ally tilled up by means of the cultivator and hoe. When the plants were about a foot high, they were "handled" and earthed up for blanching. The stalks of each plant were drawn close togeth er and held with one hand while earth was packed about the base of the plant with the other hand. Then earth was drawn up to the plant with a hoe until only the tops of the leaves were left exposed. Two weeks later it was nec essary to auain bank up the plants, since they had grown considerably in that time. It was then past the mid dle of October, and no further banking was necessary to blanch the stalks. The spinach and lettuce planted July 23 failed to grow. The turnips did well until about the Ist of September, when the hot weather caused the leaves to turn yellow at the tips and finally die. The crop was almost an entire failure. A few peas planted Aug. 18 on the land previously occupied by early cab bage made a very dwarf but healthy growth and produced a small crop ear ly In October. Of the late planted vegetables the celery, winter radishes, beans and cu cumbers produced satisfactory crops, so that, although some of the crops failed, the late planting as a whole was not unprofitable.

With flashing eye and a flush of In dignation on her usually alabaster brow she turned and faced her mother. "I hate him:" she repeated. "What for, child?" She did not reply at once.

RAISING YOUNG gE| A Few Practical Suggt««oa» Stieceaufnl Breeder. The question confronting try raisers at present la, manage my turkeys so as to redocetfi* death rate ««f my young flockV" Flrirt of all the breeders must be healthy, ►trons;, vigorous ami well mated bird#, without which you can only expert weakly poults. I have hatched turkeys both by chicken and turkey hens, and of course those with the natural moth; ers grow faster, but I prefer the chick- ! en hen, as the chicken always comes home to roost, and the turkey roosts wherever night may overtake her. The poults are always tamer with chicken ; mothers, as a turkey hen is ulways shy j when with the young and Is apt to cul- '■ tfvate the already wild nature In the j young by her shyness and, not having | a certain place to roost, cultjvatos bad habits in the poults. When the poults I are hatched, if by turkey and she is uot cross, remove poults us soon us hatched ; to give room for hatching eggs, but if j cross let her alone, as she will only trample and kill the young. When the hen is through hatching, give her a reasonable number only and place her in a clean coop on high, dry ground and j make a small yard for poults, so that they cannot stray away from the moth er for about three days or until they learn to follow. Urease the mother hen on breast and under the wings and grease the poults on heads to kill lice, if any. Five drops of carbolic acid to a heaping teaspoemfui of grease is sure death, but care should be exercised not to be too liberal with the grease, for too much is also death to the poults. Al ways look out for lice on neck, venta and quill feathers in wing, using the above carbolic acid and grease every two weeks on quill feathers 011 top of wing. A liberal supply here will not hurt. Remember that nine-tentiis of the young die from lice and overfeed. <'leanliness is also very essential in raising. No filth whatever should be allowed to accumulate. Young poults should not be fed for 30 hours after hatching; then give plenty of sweet milk in such a manner as t hoy can wet the beaks merely (turkeys will live and thrive on sweet milk like kittens) and well cooked corn bread soaked in sweet milk and squeezed dry. Mix enough for one meaJ only, as turkeys do not want any sour old feed. Milk curd, oat groat, millet seed and onion tops are also excellent. Be careful and not overfeed, as it is a great deal worse than to underfeed. Mure turkeys die because they have too much to eat rather than not enough. When allowed free range, they will pick up all feed necessary and therefore only need enough to make them appreciate home and be gentle. Avoid all dampness, as it Is nearly always fatal. High, dry and clean quarters, free from lice, with sunshine for a tonic and not too much feed will always raise good, healthy turkeys.—Woodlawu Poultry Yards.

I am asked a number of questions raj gnrdlng millet, says L. W. Lighty of | Pennsylvania in The National Stock- ' man and Farmer. When shall I sow? 1 Millet can b» sown any time after corn planttug lip to August In our latitude. , Last season we were in tha rainless district, and the ground was a* dry as powder for a few months, until the be- j ginning of August, when we had a shower. I then seeded two and one- i half acres, and iu about 45 or 50 days It cut over seven tons of excellent hay, j and It made the growth with the aid of only two very light showers. With plenty of heat and moisture it grows i very rapidly. What variety? I tried a number of varieties, but the German or Golden millet gave me the most satisfactory results. How much seed to the acre? If seeded rather thick, it makes a finer growth and better quality of hay. It also is more likely to smother the weeds. But the weeds often make us trouble in the early sown millet. The Ideal method to get ahead of the weeds is to prepare the land in the I spring and then allow the weeds to ger ! minate and harrow It thoroughly, allow another germination and then, about ; ! the middle of July, make a very fine \ | seed bed and sow, and very few weeds i will grow. But many times we want | to use the land for other purposes or I the weather will not allow. I often grow a crop of Canada pea or oats before millet, and when that off disk the ground thoroughly a seed to millet, thus taking two crop I one season. I sow the seed broadc Sow only clean seed. | Is It hard on the laud? Should I ■ stable manure or fertilizer? Yes, It ' hard on the laud. Like timothy, 1 takes all its food from near the sur face. Being a quick grower, it needs plenty of readily available plant food, so I prefer to plow or work In well rot | ted stable manure and use a quick act i lug fertilizer. A good fertilizer on my i soli I found to l>e 150 pounds of S. C. rock phosphate, 50 pounds nitrate of [ soda and 50 pounds muriate of potash. It makes a good soiling crop. For ! hay I like to cut it when the earliest heads have made seed, but the average heads are Just in blossom. If properly ; cured, this makes a very palatable hay. What to Do With Bones. This question of how to use bones Is i asked very often. Uural New Yorker , answers: You cannot make fine bone meal on the farm without a steamer and powerful grinder. You can soften | the bones by packing them In layers with wood ashes. Put an eight inch layer of broken bones at the bottom of a box or barrel. Then put a layer of unleached wood ashes, then more ; bones, and so onto the top. Keep the j whole mass well wetted with liquid ; manure or urine. In 90 days the bones ; will be quite soft and can be smashed i with a maul or heavy shovel. This will not equal the fine ground bone which the manufacturers sell, but Is about the best you cau do on the farm. Serious Case* Mother—Where have you been, Mick «y?

"There has been some picturesque j fiction written about the ease with | which railroad men and drummers are I supposed to tick off the miles as the train speeds along from things they can see from the car windows," said a railroad conductor to a reporter. "There is only one strictly accurate way, and that is to seat yourself on the side of the train from which may be observed the white mile posts that line the road and hold your watch on them. If you have a split second watch, it will prove Interesting to note that while you made one mile In 00 seconds the next was covered in 53 ami the third In 70 seconds, and so on, as the speed of the train increases or slack- j ens. You may also follow around the j little second hand on an ordinary ; watch. It kills time. "Some pretend to say that they can tell the speed of the train by counting the telegraph poles. If there were an exact number of telegraph poles to ev ery mile, this might be done by a little figuring, but there Is a difference. The number of telegraph poles to a mile vary from 33 to 40, depending upon the straight stretches and the curves In the track, the latter having more poles than the former. So, you see. It Is not as easy as the drummer would have the other passengers believe. "If the poles are planted 33 to the mile, they are 160 feet apart, and every 11 passed represents a third of a mile. If placed 40 to a mile, they are 132 feet apart, and every 20 represents half a mile. "These are easy figures to remember, and by applying them on a Journey a passenger may obtain an idea more or less accurate of the speed of the train. "Another way Is to attempt to count the clicks of the wheels of the truck of your car as they pass over the rails | where joined. The rails of the roads as placed today are too evenly joined to arrive at an exact determination by this method, because if you miss two or three joints your calculations are thrown out as to accuracy. "However, there are railroad men who cannot tell you I !ie number of rails to the mile of their own roads, and rails vary in length, the average being 30 feet some 33 feet and some (50 feet. At 30 feet there are 170 rails to the mile, and if you can count 17G consecu tive clinks as your train files along you may determine its speed and not other wise."—Washington Star. THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS. And the Librarian Could Not Amwrr One of Them. One day two well dressed young wo men approached the desk of the read ing room of a liig library. One of them took a memorandum from her pocket book. "Can you tell me how many yards— oh, that's the wrong list!" she said, hastily bringing forth another slip of paper. "Here it is. Will you please tell me who is Itudyard Kipling's fa vorite author:" "I am unable to tell you, never hav ing heard that he had one," admitted one of the librarians. "Dear me!" said the young woman irritably. "It is one of the questions for our next club meeting. Well, which one of Thackeray's books brought him the most income?" "That you can probably find out by consulting a book, the umber of which I w ill give you," said the official. "Oh, 1 can't stop to look It upl" she said hurriedly. "I thought you could tell me at once. Well, there's one more thing. Bessie Cuinmock, my cousin In Manchester, had a splendid book when I was there last year for anecdotes of famous people. I can't remember the name of It or who wrote it, but it was about so big"—illustrating with one fin ger on the desk—"and it has a dark green cover. Now, can you tell me what it Is?

This hardly expresses what Danville people say of it. Any itchiness of the skin is annoying. Little danger in itching skin diseases, But they make you miserable. Doan's Ointment is a never failing cure. For Piles, Eczema.all itching troubles. Danville citizens endorse it. Mr. D. C. Williams, 204 Lower Mul berry Street, says: ' I can highly recom mend Doan's Ointment. Before using it I was greatly annoyed with a burn ing and itching rectal trouble. This led me to become interested on hearing about Doan's < Hutment and I procured it at a drug store and found it satisfact ory. 1 did not use the remedy long be fore I was completely cured.

The new schedule of the Lackawanna Limited, the peer in equipment and ser vice of any passenger train in the east, makes it vastly more convenient not only to travelers from New York and Buffalo but to people all t>long the Lackawanna Railroad. Instead of reach ing New York as heretofore at M o'clock in the evening it now arrives there at H o'clock Instead of reaching Buf falo as heretofore at 8 o clock it now reaches there at 1U o'clock. On the old arriving time the evening in New York or Buffalo was practically useless either for pleasure or business, for the evening was well along by the time travelers had reached their homes. By using one of these useless hours in the trip to New York and two of the useless evening hours in the journey to Buffalo, the Lackawanna has given to all its patrons in one case one hour and in the other case two hours of valuable time during the busiest hours of the day. To busi ness men this means much. To ladies it means less haste in preparing for de parture. The convenience of these trains is plainly apparent. Leaving New York at noon the west bound train makes Stroudsburg at 2:29, Scranton at 3 47, Binghaintonat o:lß,Owegoat s:4B,Wav erly at Cell), Elmira at 6:38, Corning at 6:59, Bath at 7:26 and Mount Morris at 8:33. Leaving Butlalo at 11 o'clock in the forenoon the east-bound train makes Elmira at 2:17. Waverly at 2:38, Owego at 3:01. Binghamton at 3:28, Scranton at 5:00 and Stroudsburg at 6:23. Other local trains run at convenient hours to these jwints to make connections with these fast through trains, giving to all towns on the line the benefit of the change in schedules. Train leaving Danville at 2:11 p. m. will connect at i Scranton with the Lackawanna Limited arriving in New York at 8:55 p. m. Jury List for September Term. GRAND JURORS.
