Send Men, Not Figureheads,
if you instruct your delegates you
tie their hands so thoy are unable to
work for tho best interests of tho
party. Chooso good men and trust
to their judgment. Questions may
arise that have not been considered
and it is not fair to the delegate to
compel him to do what, in his opin
ion, means disaster to nis party, hub
is particularly apt at this time as tho
bitterness that Is developing In tho
light between Roosevolt and Taft may
result In the leaders deciding that it
is for the best interest of the party
to set both nsldo and tako a now!
candldnto. In this district tho Re
publicans havo selected Homer
Qroono ot Honosdaio nnd John W.
Codding, of Towanda, for national
delegates nnd they havo sufficient
conlldonco In their judgment not to
compel them to pledge, themselves
further thnn to do what. In tholr
opinion, Is for tho best intorcsts of
tho party. Thojr fealty to tho party
is unquestioned nnd they go to tho
convention unfettered. Don't mnko

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Iti'foro Starting Incubator.
Before stnrtlng the Incubator clean
out the heat or flue pipe into which
tho lamp chimney extends, and clean
all parts of tho lamp thoroughly, hav
ing the burners ns near as possible as
bright as when they were new. Use
good machine oil on all tho bearing
part3 of the machine, after first re
moving all dust nnd dirt.
There nro too many farms loaded
with mortgage. There are too many
unpaid fertilizer bills. Too much
time and capital is invested in uncer
tainties, and too much risk taken
with single crops. Tho very source
of good income on tho farm tho
poultry Is neglected. The time has
come, if tho former wishes to get out
of 'debt, to pay more attention to
stock raising and mo stock offers
better returns than the growing of
chickens and eggs for market. They
aro mortgage lifters.
The Apple Aphis.
Tho Apple (Aphis Is the insect
which causes the leaves to curl In the
spring of the year. It Is sometimes
called the apple plant louse, the
green fly, green bug, etc. After it
appears in the spring it causes the
leaves to curl, and after these leaves
are curled It Is Impossible to apply
spray liquids to reach and destroy.it.
When the leaves are injured the dam
age to the treo Is considerable, as
the leaves perform the functions of
both lungs and stomach.
It Is by far best for growers to pre
vent damage by aphis by spraying in
the winter time with the llme-sulfu
solution, such as is directed for San
Jose scale. It is to bo killed at this
time of year, or at any time during
tho dormant period, by such spray
ing, 'Tjecause its eggs are now to 'be
found as little black shiny points on
the twigs, and especially near tho
buds of the apple trees. The same
remedy is recommended for the blis
ter mite, which is one of the serious
enemies of tho apple and pear leaves
of this state.
Tho Poultryman's Ten Command
ments. 1. Thou shalt house thy poultry
in draftproof buildings, well ventilat
ed and free from dampness.
2. Thou shalt keep tho poultry
houses clean, Clean, CLt.AA. ,
3. Thou shalt feed and water the
poultry regularly and plentifully.
4. Thou shalt remember that
even as man cannot live on bread
alone, so poultry may starve on a
diet of corn.
5. Thou shalt not mix breeds.
C. Thou shalt cull out tho unfit.
7. Thou shalt not overcrowd the
breeding pens with females.
8. Thou shalt alow the poultry
liberal range.
0. Thou shalt keep a good watch
dog and lock thy poultry houses,
that thieves may not enter and an
nex thy best 'birds.
10. Thou shalt love thy poultry
as thyself, that thy profits may grow
apace.
The Growing of Chestnut Trees.
Notwithstanding the appearance of
j tho disease known as J
i blight" among the chestnut
I Pennsylvania and its rapid I
Chestnut
trees of
progress,
especially In tho eastern part of tho
State, thoro aro porsons who contora
plato tho planting ot chestnut troos,
of tho improved varieties, and taking
chances. W.horo no blight has an-
peared thoy will probably ibo safo in
doing so. Tho best advico probably
Is to " go slow," if tho conditions aro
not favorable.
A rcsldont of Berks county wrote
to Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoolo
gist, iHarrlsburg, for advico on tho
subject. 'Ho inquired as to " the best
season for plnntlng chestnut seed,"
nnd, also whothor " tho Paragon or
any other variety of chestnut seed
will reproduce tho samo variety."
To theso queries, the State Zoolo
gist replies as follows: ,
" Replying to your inquiry about
tho best reason for planting chestnut
seed, I beg to say that If It wore not
for tho squirrels and mice removing
them from the ground, tho fall of tho
year would bo tho best time for
.planting any such seeds and nuts.
Howovcr, to be suro of their not be
ing removed after planting, nnd also
to carry thorn through tho winter In
good condition, It Is advisable to put
tho nuts in boxes with layers of sand,
nnd hold thorn through tho winter in
some damp, cool place ns a cellar.
DAIRY WISDOM.
z
Many bits of dairy wisdom ,
were spoken by 'Secretary Wll-
son of the United States depart- X,
ment of agriculture in his ad-
dress nt the opening of the Nn- X,
tionnl Dairy show In Chicago
recently. The following Is an 5
extract from that address: ','
"When wo make the most of
our time and ncres we will sell ?
no cow feed to Europeans to y
maintnln their soil fertility and
reduce ours as we now do."
Making Use of Empty Cans.
If tho housewife is using very much
canned goods store goods, we mean
ask her to save all tho empty cans.
You will find them very useful in the
garden.
Melt the tops nnd bottoms off nnd
tie n string around tho remaining colls
of tin to keep them in shape. They
will be handy to use in place of Cats.
Place a dozen or more of these cans
filled with soil on a board or in a shal
low box In the window nnd plant
melon and cucumber seeds in them.
When the weather permits the hills
are prepared and the can with the
growing plant set out, then the string
is cut and the can relaxes, leaving
the dirt with the plants in the ground
without so much as breaking a root.
The can is thou removed and used
elsewhere.
They are also vntunble for potting
plants and covering cuttings. Furm
Tress.
Building Up the Soil.
Joseph E. Wing gives the sensible
advice to use limestone always' to
build soils through the growth of the
clovers aud alfalfa. The formula Is In
this order: Keep up the lime content In
the soil; that will hold the clover aud
alfalfa; plow under an occasional crop
of either with phosphate. Then your
soil will be strong for any crop.
Bees For Every Farm.
It Is safe to say that every farm
could support at lenst a few hives of
bees. Nearly all parts of our country
produce honey in sufficient quantities
to pay for the gathering. The amount
of honey that goes to waste every year
for want of bees to gather it Is very
large in fact, too lurge to estimate.
"Marriage Is a lottery," quoted tho
wise guy.
"Gee! Then poor Adam only had one
chance," reflected the simple mug.
