COM
UN MILK
To the AMERICAN: Too much
ranuot be said to bring about the sup
ply of pure sanitary milk to our peo
ple. but accurate knowledge should be
poseßsed by those who essay to teach.
This thought is suggested by the re
marks of "Dairyman" in your issue
of 24th iust. He says "beware of milk
and cream that keeps sweet in warm
weather." The caution to the reader
it seems should have been to beware
of milk or cream that does not keep
»weet a reasonable time in warm weath
er. If it does not it either has been
produced or kept amid unsanitary sur
roundings. This is so true that the
better thought today condemns the
pasteuriziug of milk For pasteuriz
ing only kills the germs, that cleanli
ness would not have permitted to en
ter the milk in sufficient numbers to
injure it and of course leaves them
there in a decaying condition. It is
this that gives to pasteurized cream or
milk its flat insipid taste.
Inasmuch as it is the custom to pur-
chase milk daily to beusedduiing the
day or at most during hours it seems
fair to presume that "Dairyman"
casts suspicion on milk that does not
turn sour within that time. The fact
is that milk produced under proper
sanitary conditions and then kept in a
reasonably cool place will remain
sweet for from fifty to sixty hours. At
the Briar Cliff farm milk was drawn
from cows after first placing them in
quarters of absolute cleanliness and
immediately bottled and sealed under
same conditions. These were sent to
twenty days after date of milking and
found to lje as sweet and fresh as when
drawn from the cows. It is not con
tenoed that there were no germs in
the milk. It is impossible to exclude
them by our present method of draw
ing milk from cows. But conditions
were such as to prevent their multiply
ing. It is the multiplication of germs
that produce acidity and other bad
tastes in milk
A misleading inference may l>e
drawn from what "Dairyman" says
about bottled milk. It is fair to pre
sume that he dis]>enses his milk from
the large can, either by dipping or bv
drawing from the bottom of the can.
If secured by dipper the lid must be
taken off and remain off for some time
to serve each customer. During all
this time the milk is exposed to the
dust— the dust with all its filthy sug
gestions of the street. This is not all;
the milk is drawn into an open vessel
and this exposed in the house to the
odors of the pantry or refrigerator.
Only a little less objectionable are the
conditions of drawing from the bot
tom of the can. Hundreds and thou
sands of the objectionable germs have
ound entrance into the milk under
these conditions. Connect this with
the idea of bottled milk, where the
milk is in a sealed bottle. Until bot
tled nothing was in the milk except
that which found entrance from the
time of milking until bottled. The
difference in favor of its purity and
cleanliness admit* of no comparison.
Dairyman having sufficient pride in
t heir business and regard for the
health of their customers to incur the
expense anj, it is no inconsiderable
item to undergo the labor of tattling
the milk, will have sufficient regard
for the health of their customers to
every day thoroughly cleanse and steri
llze the bottle after use.
It is within the last ten or twelve
years that the bottling of milk has
beenjvlopted At thi* time about one
tenth of the milk of the country is in
bottles. An intelligent public senti
ment will soou command that it all he
•old in that way.
There can l>e nothing more import
ant than supplying pure and sanitary
milk to the public. Many among tlie
beat cientiflc minds of this and other
countries are engaged in the problem
of bringing it about We are glad that
in Danville we have such as " Dairy
man to call attention of the people to
the subject

HON. J. G. HARIAN
DECLINED
Goodrich ixjst, No. 22, G. A. R.,
during the coming mouth will be ac
tively eugaged in preparations for me
morial day. The post has already been
casting about for a speaker of note to
deliver the address ou the occasion.
At a previous meeting it was decid
ed to invite Hon. John G. Harman, of
Bloomsburg, to deliver the address.
Pursuant to instructions the secretary
opened correspondence with Mr. liar
man and last night the post was in
receipt of a communication from him
in which he explained that, owing to
prior engagements, lie was obliged to
decline tlie honor of speaking iu Dan-
I ville ou memorial day. Several other
speakers were suggested to the me
morial committee, which will at once
oj>eu correspondence with tfie parties.
The members of Goodrich post are
very anxious to have a fine demonstra
tion this year, embracing au old fash
ioned march to the cemetery. Some of
the members still consider themselves
young and feel equal to the task of
marching to the cemetery for several
years to come. At the same time sev
eral of the older members, who are
among the leading spirits,last evening
went 011 record as averring that there
is scarcely a doubt but that the pres
ent year will witness the last march
by the veterans to the cemetery. Thin
ning ranks and bodily infirmities that
come with advancing years are doing
their work and the long march uuder
the circumstances cairies with it the
most painful reflections and becomes a
burden and a hardship. In the future,
therefore, the memorial day observ
ances will be much modified. The vet
erans as a body, after the present year,
will probably ride to the cemetery in
the trolley cars. The patriotic address
will be kept up iu the future along
with all the other observances of me
morial dav.
Illegal Car Riders Arrested.
A buuch of illegal car riders from
Shamokin ami Mt. Carmel spent Sun
day night in the Sunbury jail, and
some of them are likely to remain
tliere until tlie strike is over. Thirty
or forty Shamokinites went to Sun
bury on freight trains Sunday morn
ing. About five o'clock more than a
hundred of them boarded a Peunsy
freight train bound for Harrisburg.
In the lower yards the cops went
aboard and the boys went afield, but
not all of them. Eighteen or twenty
were captured, handcuffed together
ami marched to the jail. One bunch
of ten was in charge of three police
men. There were three boys in the
lot, the others being men, and some
of them past forty years of age. The
captures were made by the Sunbury
police force. It. is said that the men
and boys from the coal region do so
much damage to property around Sun
bury that it has become necessary to
stop the nuisance.
It was said in Sunbury that the au
thorities threaten to ask the courts for
the privilege of erecting and using a

IMPROVED CASH REGISTER.
Dr. W. R. Paules has installed a
cash register in his drug store, Mill
street, which is a marvel and would
seem to represent the acme of attain
ment in inventions of that sort. It is
a cashier in itself and is more than
human in that it can not err. It is a
national cash register of the very lat
est make and has so many improve
ments over those formerly in use that
it is difficult to remember them all.
The new invention besides embodying
the general principles of the old,shows
the amount in each drawer and the
total in all three drawers. It shows
the number of customers waited on
daily by each clerk and the whole
number of customers waited on daily.
As the cash is received the register
throws out a check for the customer
indicating the amount,clerk, etc., and
explaining that a dollar in cash will
he given to every customer who is not
tendered a correct receipt for the
amount of the purchase. The cash reg
ister is a very beautiful piece of work
made of nickel and finished in silver
and gold. It is supported on a solid
oak case highly polished.

insect. As the ladybug is entirely

cerned it would l>e a great scheme if
enough of them could be secured to

LOOKING FOE
ARMORY SITE!
The subject of securing a site for a
Armory is being discussed a good deal 1
about town by those who have the 1
welfare of Company F as well as the
advancement of the municipality in
view. Since the last meeting of coun
cil, when the matter was so forcibly
presented by Captain .1. II Gearhart,
several of our leading and influential
citizens have shown ji" keen interest
and have taken hold of the matter iu
a way that promises to bring about
practical results.
The part of town to which most per
sons turn iu casting about for a site
for au armory is on Ferry street and
there are several sites there that might
be obtained at a very low figure,if the
matter were rightly presented and the
proper influences brought to bear.
In presenting the matter to council,
Captain Gearhart explained that it by
no means follows that the State will
not buy laud on which to erect the
armories, if necessary. At the same
time the view is taken that those
towns which reveal sufficient interest
iu the national guard to donate laud
for a site will be tlie places whose ap
plications for an armory will be first
considered by the' State armory board.
Accordingly a number of towns in or
der to show their enterprise and their
appreciation of the guard, after the
law was enacted at once got busy and
long ago had desirable sites ready to
offer the State free of cost.
The second armory to be erected by
the State will be built at Mt. Pleas
ant, Westmoreland county. The State
armory board is also considering plans
for the armories to be built at Colum
bia and Eastou. How soon Donville's
turn may come no one,of course, would
venture to predict; but considering
that the armory here has been con
demned by the State authorities,if the
citizens take hold of the
ly, there would seem to be no doubt
but that our town may be remembered
at an early day.
It is hardly likely that the owner of
a plot of ground suitable could be in
duced to donate its full value to the
State,even though it svould be for the
good of his town. About the best that
could be expected probably would be
for the owner, in helping to secure an
armory,to agree to sell the ground for
a very moderate figure. This would
make it possible for the citizens,with
out any very great sacrifice, to unite
in the purchase of the site and turn it
over to the State. An armory such as
required in Danville would be a pre
tentious building and would cost at
least $20,000. Something definite with
reference to a proposed site will prob
ably develop in a few days.
State to Build Bridge.
The Dauphin county court yester
day handed down xn opinion in 11 if
Mifflinville river bridge rase that in
dicates that the bridge will built b\
the State.
The opinion upheld the const itu
tionality of the Rose hill, passed ai
the last regular session of the legislat
"'"I'" >t n)ili trnforv for tilt
Ihe trouble over the bridge grev
out of the fact that according to tin
plans and specifications the bridge
would cost too much. The attorney
general and the Colombia county com
missioners had met and included ii
the plans for the; bridge some item!
that put the cost at a figure beyond al
reason. The opinion of the Dauphii
county court, therefore, contained ai
order denying the right of the attorney
general and the commissioners to read
any understanding with regard to flit
bridge.
The viewers appointed for the bridge
will reconvene and got up another set
of plans and specifications.
Improvements at I). 1.. & W.
The D. L. &; \V. railroad company
has entered upon an important im
provement in this city. It consists oi
macadamizing all the area about the
station, which in its present form ha*
always been objectionable in dusty
aud muddy weather.
To prepare l'or the macadam nearly
a loot of ground will have to be ex
cavateel over the cut in; area owned by
the company, which lies between the
station and the railroad on one side
and Blizzard's run on the other. Some l
thirty men were put to work yester
day, consisting of the live repair crew:-
of tliis city, Northumberland and Ru
pert. Very good progress was made,
the ground as f;ist as it was dug loose
being loaded on the cars preparatory
to being take-u to dry saw mill hollow
where it will be; used in filling up
along the track where a bad washout
occurred recently.
At certain seasons of the year all
the area at the rear of the station be
comes very muddy and to provide a
better stirlace the railroad company a
year or sei ago asked the* borough to
co-operate with it in paving the sped
and the roaelways leading to it. The
borough el id not see its way clear to
take hold of the> matter a> preiposeel
anel the improvement was dropped un
til the present. Macadam may prove
less elesirable than a paveme nt, but it
will be a great improvement over what
has existed up to the present.
RAIN NEEDED.
Mont Derr of White Hall,drove into
town yesterelay. Mr. Derr is a pro
gressive school teae-her and as is nat
ural with eme raiseel in an agricultur
al community is closely in touch with
farming. In that part of the county,
he says, the farmers are; just now sow
ing e>ats, a work which is often com
pleteel in the first half of April. A few
are not yet reaely to sow and are emlv
ploughing tiie ground. Corn planting,
which orelinarily comes on about the
10th of May, this spring will keep the
farmers occupied until the last of the
month. It is only here and there that
much corn ground is ploughed at this
Jate. To make the matter worse it is
becoming very dry and if copious rains
:lo not soem fall it is feared that the
ploughing will he rendered very eliffi
suit.

FILLING UP
THE CANAL
The Reading Iron company has solv
ed the problem of getting rid of the
old canal and has demonstrated that
those who held to the view that it was
practicable to till up*.the old water
way were wholly right in the prem
ises.
It will be news to many of our
townspeople to learn that the Reading
Iron company in disposing of its daily
accumulation of ashes and cinders in
the period of about a yearjhas obliter
ated the old canal for a distance of
over one thousand feet."Where former
ly lay the old ditch with its reeky
bottom overgrown with weeds now is
a surface of clean cinder perfectly
smooth and raised to the level of the
bank on each side of the canal.
By means of a temporary track tlie
cinder is ruu down the canal in the
cars and dumped just where it is want
ed. It was just such a scheme as this
that those persons had ill view who
advocated co-operating with the D. L.
& \V. railroad company in getting rid
of the canal. The railroad company,
it will be recalled, agreed to pipe the
canal provided the borough would
agree to fill it up, taking whatever
time was necessary, within a reason
able limit, to complete the work. It
was understood at the time that the
cinder, etc., accumulating at the diff
erent industries would be available for
the purpose. It is significant that the
product of one industry alone has ob
literated the old canal along such a
great distance, which corresponds to
a section of tho old waterway reach
ing from the aqueduct to a point above
Fine street, where it still lies open
and promises to be a nuisance for
years to come.

SNAKE mm
it the experience of the gaug of
workmen employed in repairing Nortli
uniberlaiul street last week counts for
anything the season upon which we
are just entering will be especially
prolific in snakes and consequently in
snake stories. The road repaired for
half a mile skirt.- tho base of Montour
ridge and the serpents, venomous and
otherwise, which have been hibernat
ing during the winter are just wiggl
ing out of their torpid or lethargic
state and preparing to resume their
I old haunts.
In all, the men killed ten snakes, in
the number being three copperheads.
Among the latter was the largest cop
perhead ever seen in this section,mea
suring a trifle over three feet in length
The big reptile might have bitten Har
rison Faugh, one of the workmen, and
it is probably owing only to the fact
that it had not wholly passed out of
its torpid state that it did not sink its
fangs into his hand.
The men were cleaning out tho gut
ter at the foot of tho ridge. Twice
Mr. Faugh had reached down and
with his bare hands had scraped to
gether the leaves and other trash and
was returning for tho third armful
when lie'saw the snake half hidden
among the rubbish that remained on
the spot, partly coiled and ready to
strike. To say that the man was fright

All) FOR GOOD ROADS.
It would appear as if a way had
been found by which the farmers of
the United States may be brought to a
full realization of the value to them
of roads th.it can be traveled with ease
at all seasons. Postmaster General
Cortelyon lias issued a statement in
regard to the policy of his department
in the maintenance of the rural mail
delivery service over the established
routes, which ought to impress the
value of good roads upon ruralites.
Mr. Cortelyou states, "when a rural
! agent or a postmaster reports that the
I roads traversed by rural carriers, are
impassable, or in bad condition, the
1 matter is taken up by the department,
• through the postmaster, with the local
1 road authorities, and due notice given
that unless the condition of the road
is improved it will be necessary to
take steps looking to the withdrawal
of the service from that vicinity.
The rural mail delivery has come to
stay. Its extension has been rapid
from the start,and it' any attempt were
made to abolish it there would be
strong protest from farmers in all sec
tions of the country. This being the
fact, it is not difficult to see how the
agriculturiasts of the country can be
compelled to do their duty in the main

EXPENSIVE
GUARD ERECTED
It may not be generally known that
the Northumberland road as far as the
"dug road" lies within the borough
limits and that like any of the other
streets of town it has to be looked af
ter and repaired by the borough. Al
though away from the built-up por
tion it probably proves one of the
most expensive thoroughfares to keep
safe and in good repair, as for half
a mile it runs along a high embank
ment and lias to be protected by a
guard rail.
Street Commissioner H S. Miller
with a force of workmen Saturday
completed the annual repairs on North
umberland street and it is safe to say
that the thoroughfare was never in
sucli complete condition before. Not
only have the gutters been cleaned out
roadbed repaired but a practic
ally new guard has been erected along
the entire length. This is a feature,
especially, which was never in such
perfect condition before. In all, there
are 180 posts, securely planted, fifteen
feet apart, carrying a rail in the form
of iron pipe inches in diameter.
Of the posts planted 110 were new,the
balance being those which were used
before and only needed to be replant
ed. Formerly for a considerable dis
tance wooden rails were used, but at
the last meeting of council it was de
cided to throw these out and to use
iron exclusively.
At a point of the road below the
Reading iron works where the switch
was formerly located the road was
widened from 12 to 20 feet.

SPRAY THIS SPRING.
Prof. If. A. Surface, tin-state zoolo
gist in his April julletiu,says: "Trees
infested with San Jose scale should bo
spraywl or washed again this spring
with the lime-sulphur wash, boiled
one hour, regard less of the treatment,
that was given them last fall and win
ter. Kveu if they were properly spray
ed then, it is improbable that all the
pests were killed. The best possible
measure for the destruction of the
scale aud the safety of the trees con
sists of gi\itig them a double coating
again this spring. Spraying can be
done as late as the time when the
green leaves show in the buds, bur af
ter the green leaves are out there is
danger of destroying them by apply
ing au> material that is strong enough
to affect tlie San Jose scale. It is es
pecially important that trees previous
ly treated by any other material than
the boiled lime sulphur wash should
be covered with this mixture this
>priug in order to save them. It is by
far best to he on the safe side, and all
trees that have been treated with noth
ing more than the so-called "Limoid"
or "K-L," "Scalecide," and other
commercial insecticides or unboiled
lime-sulphur mixtures should be spray
ed again this spring, if the owners
really care to save them.
