and the Eastern dairymen will not

It is a poor farmer.
"The Pennsylvania State College
Is doing much in the study of
fanrla Tf la T1 r f lirtw YTiiirtli tViarA let
in protein, but how much can a cow
get out of it is the question. Only
ten per cent, of wheat bran is avail
able. This is also true of all other

has the best feed laws of any State
in the union. It Is the best protect
od. A cow can produce more if
.three or four grain feeds are given
in a mixture, than if one is rod. one
pound of grain feed produces three
pounds of milk. If wo feed more we
can't make It nay."
The following questions were ask
ed and answered by Mr. Kester:
Q. Would you feed a heifer more
accordingly than a grown cow?
A. No. When we 'begin to ieea
alone a maxlum, then wo begin to
ruin her.
Q. How can one toll when to be
gin to force?
A. The rule of one pound of leed
produces three pounds of milk ap
plies here. Watch tho milk sheet,
See If you can afford to give more,
A man working in the stable can tell
when a cow Is overfed. Undigested
food makes a loul odor.
Q. How Is the best way to feed,
with ensilage or separately?
A. Put on an ensilage feed, Also
a mixture of threo or four kinds of
feed can be fed profitably alone.
Q. Who can tell about a disease
plant for llverorever;
A. Itobt. Ransom and W. B. Per
iham both told of instances where
diseased plants were transplanted
among this weed and In a few years
the weed died out,
Dr. J. H. Funk was the second
sneaker. He gave a most Instructive
and interesting address upon "Prun
ing, Fertilizing and Thinning."
"The horticulturist is his own
architect. Nature is tho best archi
tect. Only those who delve deep 'be
neath the surface can understand
Nature's workings. A child is sat
isfied with the apple grown along
the hedges, but the towns are be
coming more cultured, Thero is a
constant demand for fancy fruit.
Prices have advanced and the de
mand has increased. In different
parts of tho State thero aro thrifty
looking farms, 'but scattered over the
farms are Isolated apple trees dying
of neglect and starvation. Pruning
Is the prime factor In building up .an
orchard. The tree responds under
the skilled orchardlst. He must un
derstand tho tree."
Dr. Funk ' also discussed peach
and pear pruning. He said for a
peach tree to obtain a strong and
vigorous growth It-must be properly
pruned. '"We must know whore the
roots come from when we plant the
tree," be continued. "There are two
kinds of pruning root and limb
pruning. In the latter, three meth
ods are practised: Strungfellow,
which Is a single stem, another prun
ing threo inches back and still an
other from eight to ten Inches off.
As a result of an experiment of the
three different kinds of pruning it
has been demonstrated that the
three-inch pruned roots produced
the best results. The Strungfel'ow
method on moist land gives good re
sults, while on dry land it is a sure
failure. The climatic condition
makes the difference. You ask what
age apple tree to plant. One year
from the bud. It is worth triple what
other trees cost.
"Never put a cereal crop in an
orchard. Plant potatoes. They Will
pay for the crop and servo as a fer
tilizer besides." Dr. Funk explained
how to prune young trees to produce
uniformity and give the best results.
"Be careful of the second year
growth. That Is very important.
Take the Yellow Transparent for in
stance. Prune to spread it, so that
sunshine and air can get In to ripen
the fruit. To do this cut back the
leader bud, the under branches will
then spread out and under. Tho 'hor
ticulturist is tho proudest man we
have. 'He uses muscle and brain in
his work, with the aid of the knife,
one of the most wonderful and In
strumental tools on the farms, the
trees are trained to grow in almost
every conceivable shape. You can
straighten a crooked sapling by mak
ing an Incision about a sixteenth of
an Inch in the toark on the opposite
side of the crooked part. This causes
the sap to flow to the Injured part
and 'builds up the tree. You can
straighten any tree In this method,
care being taken not to go too deep
"THERE IS NO OFF YEAR IN
FRUIT. You may not agree with
me when I say this, but nevertheless
it is a fact! If there is, it is your
own fault. Reproduction is the law
of nature. If you do not have a crop
every year It is due to lack of fer
tilization or over production. Large
crops take all the vitality out of a
tree. If a tree bears heavily one sea
son the next season the buds will re
main as leaves, because there Is not
enough vitality in the tree to bear
fruit. All buds are first leaf buds,
afterwards they become fruit buds.
How can you avoid It7 By thin-
nlng. If I had to stop thinning
peaches I would stop raising peach
es," emphatically asserted Dr. Funk
When and what time shall we
prune? Prune when necessary,
Never pruno without an object. First
prune for wood development either
in late fall or early spring. Prune in
June for checking wood growth,
That will throw the sap into the leaf
and fruit buds. Place a wire around
the tree, hut be careful that it does
not cut the bark. The sap then
goes up the new wood beneath to the
leaves and converts the leaf buds in
to 'fruit buds. Keep thinning your
fruit every year. I can't understand
why the farmer thinks tho farm does
not need fertilization. You rob your
orchard by planting cereals In it.
Trees in my orchard, which is con
sidered a model orchard, were plant
ed during 190G, 1907 and -1908
Some of them boro as high as 30
bushels of apples last season. Some
say tho 'Northern Spy will not bear
under lb years. I say it can be
made to bear In seven or eight
years. Dr. Funk stated that com
mercial fertilizer was used chiefly
upon his orchard.
Dr. M, 'E. Conrad was the third
and last Instructor of the afternoon
session. He spoko at length on the
comforts of the cow, laying special
stress upon the sanity and ventila
tion of the stable. 'Ho exhorted his
audience to look after the comfort
of the cow, especially a good com
fortablo place to llvo in. "Keep your
barns from .being dark, dirty, cold
and drafty. This Is vitally important
for a dairy cow. Let the sun shine
in. Tear out a section of tho wall
and nlaco a few rows of windows in
groups of two or three and ventilate
from tho top by slanting the win-
dows. It is sanitary and right. The
ceilings should be made tight. Keep
the dust out of the air. The dust
germs ride upon the particles of dust,
If the celling is constructed so as to
allow the dust to Bift through the
germs will eventually get Into the
milk. Whitewash your stables
Earth floors are bad enough, wooden
ones are worse. By the proper con
struction of the floor the odor can be
eliminated. A board floor can be
kept sanitary, while a cement floor is
not only sanitary but clean. The
latter kind, however, has Its objec
tions, namely, being bard, cold and
slippery, especially cold. Cork brick
has been tried, but it is too expen-
CUPID'S UP-TO-DATE.
By S. S. Robinson.
'Ve been a readln', Hannah Jane,
I've read it over twice.
About this quick-time marriage pact,
This reCord-breaklng splice!
They fell in love on board a ship,
They wished to wed. this pair,
But the Captain thought it wasn't
best
To have tho knot tied there.
So they 'were just contented like,
Till safe upon tho pier,
Then off they rushed to get hitched
up
It really seems quite queer.
.To Jump right into wedlock's bonds,
It sorter makes me smile.
But that's the way they do now days,
It's twentieth century stylo!
There's been great changes, Hannah
jane,
Since 1 went courtln' you.
Dan Cupid does some livery stunts
He never used to do!
Sometimes ho takes a moter or
A motor-car I mean,
He gets astride the storin' wheel
And runs tho whole machine.
Sometimes he boards a trolley car
That s run by 'lectrlc power
His little dart will plerco a heart
At forty miles an hour!
Sometimes by telegraphic lines,
sometimes 'by wireless, too,
He confuses in his clever work
And makes one heart of- two.
And I just heard tho other day
ue a taKen to the air.
He stole a ride on a biplane deck
And captured two hearts there!
Yes, there has 'been some changes
great,
Since I went courtln' you.
The world moves at a swifter pace
Then what it used to do:
We're llvln' In a stirring age
And Cupid's up-to-date,
He's caught the spirit of the times,
Ana taues a livery gait!
Undertaker Keeps n Body Year.
Wayne County Relative To Take
I' irst Ship Through Panama
Canal.
The Pacific fleet, under Rear Ad
miral Chauncey Thomas, left San
Francisco on November 20 for Hon
olulu, and will remain there until
January 16.
It Is proposed that 'Admiral
Thomas -will havo the honor of navi
gating the first ship through the
Panama Canal which will doubtless
be tho old ship Oregon.
Admiral Chauncey Thomas Is a
native of Shohola, Pike county, son
of the late Chauncey Thomas, a
prominent -business man of that
place for many years. Ho is also a
grandson of Moses Thomas, one of
the pioneers of the Delaware Valley,
who lived on the flats between
Cochecton and Milan,vlle for more
than half a century. The Admiral
has one sister, also several other rel
atives in Binghamton, among them
is fa. H. Hanklns, traveling sales
man, -who is well known along the
Delaware. B. C. ftoss, of Tyler
Hill, Is also a cousin of Admiral
Thomas. Daniel Holbrook of Port
Jervls Is an uncle.
Thomas was chief navigating of
ficer on the battleship Oregon during
her famous trip around South
America at the time of the Spanish
American war.
Russell B. Hultzland'er, of Monti-,
cello, formerly of Deposit, who died
at the Albany Hospital recently after
an operation for appendicitis was
one of the- best undertakers in the
state. He -was located at Hudson.
Ho did something that few under
tak&rs have done, and that was to
keep a body for a year and then havo
a public funeral. A child of a
wealthy family was taken 111 and
died. The mother becamo insane
over tho death of her child and was
committed for treatment. Tho father
was anxious that tho funeral be
postponed until tho mother recover
ed her reason and insisted that the
body 'be preserved In good state for
that occasion. Mr. Hultlander em
balmed the body and re-em'balmed
It as occasion warranted. At the end
of a year the mother recovered and
the funeral was hold. Mr. Hultz
lander said It was necessary to give
some time each week to tho body,
and his bill, If our memory serves
us right, was something like $2,500
for the -work.
Commissioners Appoint Boyd.
At a meeting of tho now board of
Wayne county commissioners held
on Tuesday Thomas Y. Boyd of
Boyd's Mills, was appointed clerk for
the coming year at a salary of ?900.

remarked Adjutant General Thomas
J. Stewart in tho closing of the an
nual session of the National Guard
Association convention at Pittsburgh
Saturday.
Federal pay for enlisted men of the
organized militia was fully debated
and officers of the Guard placed
themselves upon record as being un
anlmously In favor of tho project.

present session of Congress and del

Captain Hollenbach, of the First
Regiment, took up tho morning ses
sion. Pennsylvania systems were ex
haustively depicted by Adjutant Gen
eral Stewart In telling of the good
work done at the recent Austin flood
disaster. The National Guard by
sending food and supplies, the State
Department of Health detail, which
was in charge of a Guard officer, and
the btate police, commanded by Ma
jor John C. Groome, also a guards
man, did their work so well that the
National Red Cross Society represen
tative exclaimed that the work has
been "bo complete that he had noth
ing to do." General Stewart was so
proud of the Guard that ho took op
portunity to show Its perfect system.
He said that already the support of
thirty Pennsylvania congressmen has
been enlisted In favor of the Federal
pay bill.
These officers wero elected for the
ensuing year:
