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. "

Seth C. Lormer. 420 Pine St., Dan
ville, Pa., says Doau's Kidney Pills
are worthy of my strongest recom
mendation. A severe cold which set
tled in my kidneys caused me great
misery. Sharp, shooting pains would
seize me when 1 attempted to stoop,
and it I sat down for any length of
time, I would have to be very careful
when arising, for at such times sharp
twinges would pass through my kid
neys. At night my back became so
lame and sore that 1 was unable to
rest well in any position aud consequ
ently mv sleep was greatly disturbed.
I finally b?gan using Doan's Kidney

Sicily As It Wis.
The havoc caused by earthquake in

laud of enchantment is seen in the

! fully shown in detail as they will
i never again exist. Messina in all its
native brilliance, its stately edifices
and busy streets is superbly depicted.
The glories of yesterday must be seen
before the ruins of today can be run

was Btatiou agent at tlie S. B. and li.
railroad,and a well known resident of \
Berwick. He had beeu sick for a week
but was suffering from the effects of n
dissipation that made him irrational
at times. In these spel's he fturid
someone was trying to kill him. He
*/as much better and hail stated he t
would return to work.
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. Buckingham, who lives nearby, :
lieard a rumor of the shooting. Being 1
7fi years of and a victim of acute j
nervousness, her fears were at once
aroused. It was when her daughter
Mr. J. K. 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.
Deafne«9 Cannot Be Cured
1 v local applications, as they cannot
jaeli the diseased portion of the ear.
■''here is only one way to core deaf
! 'i-ss, and that iB by constitutional
j 'inedies Deafness is caused bv an
:iflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
I t lis tube is iuflamerl you have a rurn
>iing sound or imperfect hearing, and
\hen it is entirely closed, Deafness is
tne result,and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor
led to its normal conlition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are cansed by Catarrh,
which is nothing bntan inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.

'Phone in Nearly Every Home.
Samuel Eckiuao, of Rush township,
who was in tiiis city yesterday took
occasion to remark upon the ohanged
conditions that have taken place on
the sooth side since the completion of
the rural telephone lines, lias placed
the farmers over the wide territory
embraoed by several townships iu com
munication with each other and with
the towns of Danville, Catawissa and
SUamokin.
The telephone finds great favor with
the farmers and is installed in nearly
every home. Now uhat they begin to
realize the advantage of a rnral tele
phone, Mr. Eakman says, the people
can hardly understand how they man
aged to get along without it for so
.long. But one thing remains, be said,
to give the farmers of the sooth side
all the advantages they covet and that
is a trollev line connecting Danville
aud Sonbury.
There are those who trust to the son

READING HAS
I COSTLY LUXURY
Reading has a sewage disposal plant.
{ Ana just now she is also having great
1 trouble because of it. Thoogli, as has
1 been oited by sanitary engineers, the
| Reading sewage disposal plant— like
! all others of the present experimental
| stage—results in but a small percent
age of clarification, Reading agreed to
pay a big price on it. Bnt now that
; she has failed to meet her burdensome
payments, the man who has the con
tract to maintain aud operate the
plant, has closed it down. State Health
Commissioner Dixon has heard of the
Reading mix-up aud he threatens to
bring the power of the commonwealth
down upon the city's head if she
: doesn't pay up quick and have the
sewage dipsosal plant resume. The
oity "enjoys" the luxury of having a
sewage disposal plant, and the con
tract between her and the man who
maintains and operates it is that she
pay the sum of 146,000 a year. She
owes over fS.OOO of this amount now.

THE BAR MILL
IN OPERATION
The bar mill at the Readicg iron
1 Works idle since the holidays, started
j up on Monday, whioh brings the entire
| plant, with the exception of the skelp
mill, into operation. The skelp mill
nnder the chauged oouditions is hard
ly considered a factor any longer and
when the two paddle mills and the
guide and bar mills are rnuniug the
town considers Itself very .fortunate,
1 as it places some six huudred meu on
the pay roll, employing practically all
that depend on the big industry. Tha
the big mill, which iB the main de-l
pendence of the town. Is able to do so
wall nnder the adverse business con
ditions is a circumstance that reflects
most oreditably on its management
and is a cause for self coogratnlation
among our citizens.
