BUG EXPERTS
AT SAVAGE FARM
Tlie second horticultural demonstra
tion in district No. 3, given under the
direction of the division of zoology,
State department of agriculture, was
held atthe farm of Orville B. Savage,
I}.< miles from Danville, yesterday
afternoon.
D. E. Murray, in charge of the dis
trict, was ably assisted by Prof. B. S.
Moore, of Kulpsville, Montgomery
county, an inspector from the divis
ion. The attendance was not so great
as might have been desired but the
40 or 50 who were present were deep
ly interested and they came prepared
for the occasion. The questions they
asked were pertinent and were answer
ed by the speakers.
Mr. Murray, who is the permanent
inspector of this county, told in his
address what had been done and how,
and pointed to the tangible results as
shown on the trees. In the original
treatment one tree of each kind was
left as a check and by comparison was
shown the beneficent results from in
telligent treatment and care of trees.
Mr. Murray spoke at length on the
financial returns to the owners of such
orchards and based with the statement
that nowhere can such fruit be grown
to better advantage than in this sec
tion of the State.
Mr. Murray then introduced Prof.
, Moore, who, in a most happy vein,
V addressed the audience on spraying,
pruning audjalso on the work being
done by tiio division of zoology. The
burden of his remarks on spraying was
that the first consideration must be an
effective solution which should com
bine cheapness in application and
should not be injurious to the tree.
Lime sulphur he knew would kill scale,
would invigorate the tree and is a
cheap application. He next emphasiz
ed the fact that spraying must be
thoroughly done.
Pruning is a science as applied to
horticulture and none but the most ex
perienced should attempt it.
The meeting was a great success and
credit must bo given to Dr. Surface,
the chief of the division and to his
inspectors for the great earnestness
shown in the work of ridding our or
chards of the insect pests and fungi
diseases. Also for the cheering note
that no longer need the orchardist fear
these pests and diseases as they cannot
only be controlled, but wholly elimin
ated.

Pills are worthy of endorsement, be- 1
ing a remedy of great merit. A cold

ed these organs and caused sharp pains

one position long for if 1 did,the pain
ami lameness across my loins became

kidney secretions also existed. Doan's

CHARTER BEING
APPLIED FOR
i■ * *
A very important industry is spiing
ing into existence at Strawberry Ridge
iu (he form of a creamery. A very
complete building has been erected,
the most modern machinery for the
manufacture of butter and dairy pro
ducts has been installed and as a final
move before starting up, application
has been made for a charter.
The intended corporation is to be
known as the Strawberry Ridge Cream

Mowrer, William McQuay, John Ash
enfelder, Charles W. Shultz, William
B. Shultz, William Springer, H. Al

liam H. Dye, and Perry E. Mowrer. j
The building, which stands near the
station,along the railroad,is of frame,
twenty by fifty feet. The creamery is
two stories high, the first floor being
of concrete. Achitecturally the bund
ling is pleasing in appearance and is
tastefully painted. The ground on
which the creamery- stands was pur
chased of Jonathan Mowrer.
All the arrangements are such as to
conform with the most sanitary and
approved methods. All the waste is
piped to a point one-fourth of a mile j
from the creamery. A large ice house *
is connected with the building.
The capacity of the creamery is 2,">00 i
pounds of cream, which implies that
it will take care of the jiroduct ot
1,200 cows.
Among the up-to-date machinery is ,
one revolving power combined churn
and worker with a capacity of 150
pounds of cream at one churning; one
milk tempering tank for separator;
one No 1. rotary power milk pump.
In addition are installed scales ami all
j other paraphernalia essential in the
j manufacture of butter.
On the first floor is a manufactur- j
ing room, a butter storage room, with
ice rack, boiler and engine room. A
feature iu front of the building iu a
I covered driveway, 12 'ij by 24 feet,
which will afford shelter for the teams j
while loading and unloading.
The steam plant consists of an eleven
horse-power upright steel boiler of (10,-
000 pound tensile strength and a six
teeu-hoi'se-power upright engine with
all connections.
The creamery contains au improved
tabular Sharpless separator, with a
capacity of 2,500 pounds of milk per
hour; one milk receiving heating vat
of 4,200 pounds capacity and one twin I
cream vat ice box.

A FAKE OCULIST
One of the boldest swindles that has
come to light recently was perpetrat
ed iu this city during the last few
days.
A suave youni; man, who represent
ed himself as an oculist sent out by a
I llarrisburg firm, appeared at the door ;
| if one of our leading homos, and ask
ing to see the head of the house in
formed that person that lie had learn- ,
ed that he was in need of a pair of
glasses. The "oculist" said he had
been referred to him by a well known
person, a friend of the gentleman ad
dressed, whom he named.
The man of the house was uot in
I need of glasses, but tho reference to
(the friend in whom lie had confidence, '
was not without weight and the up
shot of the affair was that he sub
mitted to an examination of his eye. i
The 'oculist" was very sorry,but he
was obliged to tell the truth.
"My dear sir, "he said: "A cataract
is growing on your eye."
That this was an alarming bit of in- j
telligence goes without saying.
"But don't be alarmed," the Strang-1
er added, soothingly; "a cataract is
not such a serious thing—not with us. j
All you need is the proper kind of l
glasses, which wo furnish and a cer- !
tain eye wash, which we prescribe."
The fellow was very plausible and j
while he was speaking he produced a
pair of glasses which he placed on the j
man's eyes. He then wrote a presdrip-,
tiou. The bill was $24.50. This seem-1
ed cheap enough considering that a
siege of blindness with a dangerous
operation was being obviated. The
money was handed over.
The "oculist" has not been heard
of since. The glasses are of the cheap
sort such as are for sale at the ten
cent stores. The prescription on being
deciphered called for au eye wash of
'' cold tea and salt.''
ICE WATER KILLED
When Allan Arnold, a seventeen
year old boy, employed by John Bow
er, on the old Creasy farm, near Cam- j
eron, on the road between here and
Northumberland, drank ice water,
while overheated he succumbed to the !
effects of the chilling daught and drop- j
ped over dead.
Young Arnold had been helping to
thresh and Monday evening he walk
ed to the barn and drank six glasses
of the cold water. ;iu a few minutes
he fell to the ground and expired.
Mrs. William Reed, of this city,and
Miss Bessie Reich, of Riverside, spent
yesterday iu Wolverton.
GUNNING SEASON

The gunning seasou, part of it aL
ready here and the more important
part yet to come, is looked upon by
local sportsmen with a great deal of
interest. There will be about the us

LANCASTER FARMS
I Vpr? fAj ,
Oue need uot gd to We west for ex
amples of scientific farming, in fact
the greater increase of yields in the
west is due more to the natural fertil
ity of the soil, which hits not been ex
hausted. as it has been in the east,and
where big crops are raised in the lat
ter it i 9 due more to the application
of theoretical plus the practical knowl
edge gained through chemicals and
modern methods of tilling the soil.
Manifestly the Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania,farmers are on excellent
terms with the soil. There are in that
county some 9,000 or 10,000 farms,
great and small, and their crops this
year are valued at $25,000,000. The out
put of wheat is worth #3^000,000;
corn,$;i,000,000; hay.fi,">oo,ooo; tobac
co, $3,000,000, a total of $12,500,000
for the four staples named. A similar
total is reported for other crops, in
cluding rye, oats, potatoes, fruit,
vegteables, livestock and dairy pro
ducts. We will give some of the staid
old farmers of northeastern Pennsyl
vania credit foi excellent crops, hut
it is a fact that the greatest transfor
mation in farming in this and sur
rounding counties, is on lands pur
chased by wealthy or well to do peo
ple of the city, who in connection with
a summer home have become interest
ed as a diversion as well as expected
profit in intensive farming, rather in
following the direction of the State
and national boards of agriculture, in
the application of fertilizers, just as
the soil is in need, as indicated by the
vegetation, color, etc. The knowledge
of farming is not picked up in a mom
ent and like every vocation the tilling
of the soil requirs hard work as well as
hand work. In view of the rundown
condition of the laud, through proper
fertilization and cultivation, it re
quires several years to obtain results
from the more modern methods of
farming, which requires a consider
able expenditure of money as well as
work to make a showing, but we shall
have tangible evidence of what can be
accomplished in a very few years in
the Abington region, Spring 13rook,
Madison and Jefferson townships.

Tonic or Stimulant?
There is an immense difference between a tonic and a
stimulant. Up one day, way back the next; that's a
stimulant. Steady progress day by day toward perfect
health; that's a tonic. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is a tonic,
a strong tonic. The only Sarsaparilla entirely free from
alcohol. Do not stimulate unless your doctor says so.
He knows. Ask him. Do as he says, f.c. A yer Co.,Uu>ellMau.
Constipation is the one great cause of sick-headache, biliousness, indigestion, had
breath, debility, nervousness. Has your doctor over recommended Ayer s Pills to you?

NEW BUILDINGS
FOR BENTON
' rt "-r'KJiifß
Benton lias etdrted to come baak.
) Like Chicago, Boston, Baltimore and
! other bigger places it soon shook off
the ashes of its fire and started to
build a bigger and better town in place
of the one that was destroyed.
About fifteen houses are nearing
completion there and there are also
business blocks under way that are
| expected to be finished before many
weeks. The town has settled back in
to something like its usual routine but
! everybody that lost a house or a build
i ins? of any kind is terrible anxious to
got a new one in its place.
A Williamsport firm has prepared
; [ilans for a new building for the Col
umbia County National Bank and the
| building itself is under way. The
plans call for a two stoiy light mottl
ed brick building trimmed with stone,
-lOxliO feet in dimensions and with a
strictly modern equipment. The first
' floor will be devoted to banking busi
ness and the second to offices. The
treatment of the front is such that the
| entrance to the second floor is set back
from the building line two and one
half feet allowing the main part of
i the front to be developed solely on
! banking lines
The bauk is to have an eliptical en
: trance lobby. On one side of the en
trance will be located a ladies' wait
ing room and on the other the office
! of the cashier. The central portion of
the bank will be devoted to counter
j space. Back of the public banking
room come the vault*, coupon room,
directors' loom and { resident's private
| office.
the interior woodwork is to be ma
hogany. As for the vaults they are to
j embody the la!;st and most improved
ideas in burglar and fi'eproot con-
I struction. The building itself will be
I pretty nearly fireproof. The floor of
the banking rooms will lie tiled and
there will be nothing in that direc
tion for lire to lick up. A consider
able amount of metal will be used in
j the construction of tho fixtures. The
I counter screen will be cast bronze.
J The Williamsport company is also
drawing plans for two other business
' blocks for Benton owners. These are
' togo up this tall.
