Wui, R Miller, Gen'l Mauager 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 V V. VINCENT. Painters at Work. The work of ieu 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 whipping post in an effort to make the "iwlooirahlft nlttPA fnr ill^L'al 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. A Newspaper You Hust Have.

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. |The feistive bug already begins his riedous but brief career 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.

Thit year, comrades, we are crossing the broad riverat the rate of .">, (MM) a month, HO,CRM) a year; soon the great majority will be sleeping their last sleep, and it is our privilege now, as it has been for many years, to pay loving tribute to their memory by decorating their graves with flowers, which, starting forth from mother earth with each re curring springtime, are emblamatic of a resurrection to a glorious immortal ity. "We have returned the battle stan dards of tin- dead Confederacy to those who treasure them as sacred mementos of their loved ones who died under them. The Congress of the United States has just unanimously voted S2 to care for the graves of those dead, and the heart of the Nation hns said, with ureat unanimity, "It is well" Unitedly we march along the highway of nations, rose bushes blossoming over and around, and the birds nesting in tbe months of the can non that ouce roared defiauce and loath at each other,the world applaud ing, our conscience approving."

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.

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 lie a inrrn&np 1 d ■ "nwJ '1 ucvXkliM 11 service, but a direct benefit that will stimulate farm values and reduce the cost of transporting farm products to the primary markets Postmaster Robbed.

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.

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.
