Superintendent INNOVATION As an ultimate aim iu the spreading of scientific agricultural education by | uieans of ' 'Farmers' Special lustruc-j tion Trains," the Pennsylvania rail- i road and the Pennsylvania State Col- ) lege Agricultural school authorities look forward to the time when an ex perimental farm will be maintained in every county as a practical example to the hnsbandmen of the section of ! the value of employing up-to-date till- I ing methods. This possibility was emphasized earnestly by William J. j Roso, of Harrisburg, division freight agent of the Pennsylvania. He acted as pilot of the first instruction train of the kind ever run in this State, j when it wound through Delaware, i Olieste-, Lancaster and Berks counties | last November. RESULTS FROM LITEKATURE. ! "It id as plain as day that the farm- j er cannot be taught and made to em- i ploy tested methods of farming by means of literature," added Mr. Rose. "No matter how groat the desire for au insight into the better,more profit able methods, they get small satisfac tion out of pamphlets and circulars i that tell in high-sounding words the benefits to be derived. Take the coun ty fair as an instance of this very thing. Farmers flock there for miles around simply to see the improved machinery always on exhibition. Of ten they make their purchases on the spot because they know exactly what they are buying. "For years agricultural schools have been established, but the farmers'sons did not attend with the idea of stay ing on the plot of ground surrounding the old homestead. The trend lias been cityward, but there has been a sudden change of the current here in the east within ten years. FARM THE BEST MEANS. "An experimental farm would ans- I wer the need of the agriculturist of today, especially in Pennsylvania. There the results of research in science could be put into practice, and tillers of the soil from miles around could 1 become investigators and learn for themselves exaotly how things are be ing done. Maybe they would be an xious to know the secret of alfalfa growing, and they could inspect the alfalfa field; if the corn crop had prov ed profitable they could discover ways of gettiug even better returns. Crops adapted to certain sections would be raised under the same conditions that confront the farmers on the soil sur ronuding the experimental plots, and this Is no small consideration. Experi ence shows that a potato that thrives in northern New York might prove a sad failure in northern Pennsylvania. " DIRE DISIRESS. It Is Near at Hand to Hundreds of Danville Readers.

The claim is made that the New York, Pittsburg aud Chicago Air Line railroad will be 65 'miles shorter bo- : tweru Pittsburg aud New York thau ' the Pennsylvania aud 108 miles s'.ott er than the present shortest lina be tween New York aud Chicago.

DEED DELIBERATELY PLANNED 5 The deed was deliberately planned and executed and a !J3 calibre revolver j with one chamber eiupty was found \ beneath him. He apparently stood bs fora the mirror and placing the barrel of {he revolver against his right tem ple sent the bullet crashing through his brain,causing instant death. Airs. Laubach was alone iu the liouse am) ' had been sewing. She had just gone upstairs wlien she heard the report. She called and asked what the noise was and getting no report opened the ; door which strn-st the body and saw his fret hi lie lay upon the floor and the hloo I npou l is clothes. MOTHER HEARD NEW 3 AND THEN EXPIKKD. Grief stricken as the family already I were, their sorrow was to come two- , j fold. Mr. Laubach 's mother, Mrs. G. j H.

McAnail came that she real- j i/ed something was wrong and pro- j tested that she he told the saws. To forestall the shock the message was not given her correctly hut with the expression "Ob, My Boy, My Boy!" she walked into the adjoining room and upon sitting down fell ont of the chair dead. The death of the two well known I people has cast a pall of horror and ! gloom over the town.
