Quit taking $5 buggy rides on $6 a week. Do not put a $5 hat on a five-cent head. Get a baif. account. Get a home of your own. Get¢ start in the world. What good is it to you Northern ne- groes that you live in cities with paved streets if you don’t own anything?” There are also some white brethren who might profit by taking his advice. Arr canned goods sold in Pennsyl- vania must have the date of the can- ning stamped thereon, if a bill intro- duced by Representative Rose, of Sus- quehanna, in the Legislature, shall be- come a law. The bill provides that all bottled food stuffs shall be labeled, and such label shall bear the date of prep- aration, quality and exact quantity of such goods. Such a law has been long needed, and the sooner it is passed and put in operation, the better it will be for the health of the people. CHAMBERLAIN’'SCOUGH REMEDY THE BEST AND MOST.POPULAR. “Mothers buy it for croupy children, railroad men buy it for severe coughs and elderly people buy it for la grippe,” say Moore Bros., Eldon, Iowa. “We sell more of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy than any otherkind. Itseems to have taken the lead over several other good brands.” There is no ques- tion but this medicine is the best that can be procured for coughs and colds, whether it be a child or an adult that is afflicted. It always cures and cures quickly. Sold by E. H. Miller. 5-1 Council Decides that Cows Must be Kept off the Streets. We call special attention to the cow ordinance published in this issue of “the great twinkler.” It is the best ordinance passed in this borough for years. Five of the seven Councilmen voted for the ordinance. Geo. Schramm and W. D. Thompson alone opposed it, and they only did so to curry favor with the cow owners. The ordinance meets the hearty approval of a great majority of the property owners of the town. Now, gentlemen, get after the dogs and the hogpens, regardless of what kickers have to say about it. Let us have a clean, healthy town. WHEN EASTER COMES. “Thirty days hath September,” Every person can remember; But to know when Easters come, Puzzles even scholars, some. When March the twenty-first is past Just watch the silver moon, And when you see it full and round Know Easter’ll be here soon. After the moon has reached its full, Then Easter will be here, The very Sunday after, In each and every year. And if it hap on Sunday The moon should reach its height, | | The Sunday following this event, | Will be the Easter bright. | —Boston Transcript. POSTOFFICE, PA.,, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1905. 1S SEEN BY VISTR OUR RESOURCEFUL COMMUNITY DESCRIBED BY A CUMBERLAND NEWSPAPER MAN. Greatly Pleased With Our Town and Surrounding Territory—Our Farmers Highly Compli- mented. Wilbur F. Cleaver, managing editor of the Cumberland (Md.) Alleganian, recently visited Salisbury and vicinity to size up our community and its re- sources, especially the maple sugar in- dustry. Following is his report of what he saw here, as published in his paper under date of April 6th: “Taking the afternoon train at Cum- berland, I arrived at Meyersdale at 4:30 p. m.. from there traveling by hack to Salisbury (Elk Lick postoffice) a distance of six miles. The country between Meyersdale and Salisbury is very beautiful. You are never out of sight of the Casselman river, which for turns and twists equals any stream I ever saw. BEAUTIFUL FARMS. On both sides of this river there is magnificent farm land, beautiful farm houses and the largest barns I ever saw. Nearly all the barns were paint- ed red. One I noticed, particularly, was about 125 feet long and fifty or more wide, with eight large track doors to the side. I was told that last year the owner was four days getting his threshing done, and the barn would not hald his crop. The house is a beauti- ful one with shrubbery and pines ar- tistically arranged in front. I do not think I have ever been in a section where there were as many large and fine appearing farm buildings. The view from the hills was magnificent, for I could see for many miles. While there had beer no sign of snow from Cumberland to Meyersdale, I found many large snow drifts in this section —and this on March 26th. A great many of the farmers through this section are of German descent,and are noted as successful, hard-working farmers. They have for years been in first-class financial condition, and when the coal mines were opened in this section they had money poured in on them ut a rate that almost swamped them. In fact if there is any class of people with more money than they know what to do with, it is the farmers of this section. But it hasn’t turned their heads, and they are just as good farmers today as they ever were. Many of the people of this section are Dunkards, and a more honest, hospit- able, law-abiding set of people can’t be found anywhere. The coal mines can be seen along the hillsides in almost every direction, but I did not visit any of them. A VISIT TO SALISBURY. At 8 p. m. I arrived at Salisbury and startéd out to see the sights. This town has'a population of over 1200 and is an attractive looking place. There are quite a number of large stores, many beautiful dwellings and fine churches and school buildings. The town is well laid off, and the streets and sidewalks in very fair condition. This is the central, or rather shipping point for the Somerset-Garrett maple sugar belt. This belt extending from a line drawn from Meyersdale to Salis- bury, as far as Oakland, along the Youghiogheny and Cassleman rivers, and Laurel Hill Creek, and their triba- taries is one of the largest maple sugar producing sections in the United States. Last year the S. A. Lichliter store, of which Mr. Lichliter is man- ager, shipped 225,000 pounds of maple sugar and 3,000 gallons of syrup. Nearly all of this: went to molasses manufacturers. Mr. Lichliter gave me three or four bricks of maple sugar that was a beautiful amber color, the crys- tals sparkling and the tast delicious. VISIT TO SUGAR CAMP. Sunday morning I started for the home of Mr. Elijah Livengood, who lives about 2 miles south of Salisbury. Mr. Livengood is known as the ‘king of sugar makers.’ Last year he made 20,- 000 pounds of maple sugar and over a thousand gallons of maple syrup. Arriving at Mr. Livengood’s, I was given a cordial welcome and soon was inspecting his sugar grove. Half of his grove is in Pennsylvania and half in Maryland, along the Casselman river. He has 3,600 producing trees, and everything is arranged to handle the water as quickly as possible. He has NO. 13. which conyey the water from the tanks into the large receiving tubs inside the building. Pipes then convey the water from this tub to the pans. These pans are 6 feet wide, 14 feet long and over a foot deep. Under the pan is a 8x7 fire box with three doors, and soft coal fires are kept going in it. Pipes again con- vey the syrup into another room to the settling tubs. In this second room is a small fur- nace, built under two large iron pots in. which the stirring off is done. Then there are tables, troughs, cans and bar- rels for finishing the work. Tt is only. by having everything om such a large scale and so convenient that it is possible to make 20,000 pounds of sugar in a year, for it must be re- membered that a barrel of water only makes from 4 to 8 pounds of sugar. The record in this camp, at the one building, for boiling water is 185 bar- rels of water boiling into syrup in 20 hours. Mr. Livengood has the reputation of making the best sugar in the country. He says the secret of good sugar-mak- ing is to keep every vessel perfectly clean and allow no rain water to get-in the buckets. Last week he had every bucket turned upside down all week. & noticed every bucket was painted in- side, and Mr. Livengood told me every bucket was washed out with boiling water after every run. I don’t want the job washing six thousand and more buckets. For the benefit of those who do not know, I will explain that to tap a tree a half-inch hole is bored into the tree an inch and a half, just enough to pen- etrate the white wood. Into this hole is placed a spout, or spile, usually made of a piece of elder from which the peth has been removed. A bucket is placed under the spout, and then it is ready for the water to come. The sugar wa- ter only flows after a cold night, cold enough to slightly freeze the ground, followed by a warm morning. If the weather gets warm or rain comes. the flow stops, but will start again after the next cold snap, if not. too late in the month of March. Encyclopedias tell you maple sugar is made from the sap of the maple tree —Dbut that is not correct, for as soon as the sap begins to flow, the season is over. The sugar water flows in the white wood close to the bark before the sap puts in an appearance. Taking it from a tree does not affect the growth or length of life of the tree. In Mr. Livengood’s camp is a tree that has been tapped every year for over fifty years, and it yielded this year a barrel of water every 24 hours, a yield not ap- proached by any other of the 3600 trees in the grove. Trees vary in the quality and quan- tity of water, and the same tree does not yield the same every year. A PELIGHTFUL HOME. After a thorough inspection of the sugar camp I went to the house. ate a splendid dinner and had a good talk. Mr. Livengood has a delightful home. The house is heated by hot air, there is running water in the basement, and an air of comfort prevails everywhere. At 3 p. m. I started for Meyersdale, six miles away, and then it rained and hailed, and the wind blew, and the lightning flashed, and the thunder was terrible, but I kept going through mud shoe-top deep. Well, it was the worst six mile tramp I ever had, and I was not sorry when I reached Meyersdale. Of course, I missed the train, but Mr. Will Stiver, formerly of Bedford, who conducts a hotel at Meyersdale, gave me splendid entertainment, and I had good rest until 9:30 p. m., when I took the train for Cumberland, arriving here tired, but satisfied. This is the first trip I ever made into this section, but it will not be the last. Dead Languages Barred. Following unique notice appears in a recent issue of The Adams Enterprises Dear Editor—Pleas give notis that I have decided to open a School, to teach Spelling and Defining ; alsoe, every day ’Rithmetics, teechin scholars to do fig- gers in their heads, stidder on a slate, as some teech.
