Philadelphia trolley companies
faced a big strike this week.
At sale of blooded stock this
week at Cnopersborg, Pa a Jersey
bull brought $11,000 The buyer
wis Dr. Still of Mo., who is head of
an osteopathic college. There must
be a lot of money in the boas busi
ness. Milford wss not the only town
afflicted with measles this spring
Daring the months of March and
April 8582 cases were reported to the
Department
Because potatoes were sen roe and
high the past winter more are being
planted la the State this Bprtng than
ever before. This will have a ten
doncy to reduce prices, and then
most likely farmers will go to the
other extreme next year and plant
few because potato raising wont pay.
It is batter to keep as sailors say, on
an even keel. A variety of orops, all
well oared for, will pay better In the
end than to make a drive on one just
because there happens in one year to
be a famine.
Memorial day was an ideal one,
the weather was as near perfect as
con Id be, and many enjoyed their

It is reported here that Matainoras

Cherries Rotting on the
Trees
A number o( inquiries were re
ceived Intely by the Division of Zoo I
fit? of the Peinsy lvnnia D psrlmen.
nf Agriculture for a formula for a
spraying mixture to betted on peach
plnm nnd cherry trees to keep th?
frnit from rotting. The aus-ver of
Prof. H. A. Surface, the Stale Ziol
ogist, is as follows :
"The ripe rot or brown rot Is doe
to a fungous disease, which attnoks
the ripening fruit of pencil, plum
nnd cherry trees, and Is tu be pre
vented by spraying before or aboi t
the time the fruit is hall irosn with
the self boiled lime sulphur wash
Into a barrel put eight pounds of
fresh lime or qniok lime and eight
pounds of snlphnr, and into this pour
foar or Ave gallons of hot water, and
cover !t with a cloth to keep In the
heat. Stir occasionally with a hoe
or something to keep it from burning
to the bottom and to keep it from
settling too much. Let it remain an
hour. Then dilute it to fifty gal
lons, nnd spray It over the trees.
Cold water should be used for dilnt.
ing, Hepo.it this after a hard rain.
or if it does not rain repent in a week
or two, aud continue until just be.
fore the fruit commences to ripen,
when there Is no need to continue
the sprsying, because to spray it tn
rlpaning fruit means to discolor tie
fruit and thus render it ouniarket
able, although it will not bo poison
ous, end will not be unfit, for use,
even though it should be stained by
the spray liquid.
This self-boiled liinc-su'pliur wash
Is not recommended for sen lo Insect?,
and it is not to be replaced by the
concentrated lime-sulphur solutions
now on the market, nor by the home
boiled wsgh which we recommend as
the best and cheapest malarial lor
treating scale insects. It Is a differ
ent preparation, made by a different
formula and method, aud these mat
erials should not be confused.
Sawing and Planing Stone.
It is interesting to one who has
niver seen the operslion to wsloh
tbepoweiful machinery at Parker'a
Glen plane, sa w and polish blue stone.
A stone la placed on a moveable ear
ringe, above which is fsstened the
planint; tools which are of sBarpened
stsel and are adjusted to cut the re
quired depth. The stone moves un
der them aud tbe planing process Is
accomplished almost as easily as If
It was a block ef wood. In sawing,
the slone is placed nndsr the saws,
bleb are strips of steel and move
back and forth hoiizmtHlIy, and aie
kept well supplied with steel filings'
and water aud a olenn cut is made. I
The stone is sawed either in slabs or
in tapering blacks ss may be requir-
el. In polibhing, the stone is placed
ou a large grindstone ten or twelve
foet in diameter which revolves bor
izontally and is thns rubbed smooth
as a marble slab.
The workmen are all skilled tn the
business and cut and dress a stone t
any desired shape almost as readily
as if they were working a piece of
pine.
Mr. Btretfnrd, who superintends I
the work, is an aiflable man and
cheerfully explain-, the processes and
gives interesting details as to the
uanulaoturn. The work turned out
is of excellent quality and finish and
is used to adorn some of the finest
C.ty building. Considering the
labor expen.led the pricra per square
foot seems reasonable. Coping stone
for a dividing wall of a school build
ing iu Nework are turned out with
an ovnl top and to one inexperienced
it would not seem poible that blue
stone could be so nicely worked nad
fiuished. Not the least astonlshii g
is the fi.u and length of some of tl e
atone iu thdjsrd. flnse slabs over
30 feet long and blocks from 3 to 6
feet in thirknetw out of w Inch cau be

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON
The test vnto taken on the Income
tax question In the Senate last week,
it believed to foreshadow a victorr
for the Republican leaders In their
plan to refer both tbe Bailey and
Cummins amendments to the Judie
isry Committee. The rote to deter
consideration of the income tax
amendments nntil Juno loth means
that no amendments to provide for
special taxea will bs tskeu np by tbe
Senate nntil the schedules of the tar
iff bill are adopted, and it is the la
tent ion, of Bourse, of the Finance
Committee to shew that the new ens
toms duties will raise sufficient rsv
enue to support tbe government and
that any special tax is wholly an
necessary.
The sensational character of the
dlspatebe sent ont from Washing
ton concerning certain defective ar
mor plates whioh have been foupd in
the oonstrnotlon of tbe battleship
North Dakota and Dataware, is
grently deprecated by tbe officials at
l he Navy Department. They x
plaln that defective plntes always
nre and alwaya have been found
from time to time; that it is not
known what causes the blisters and,
therefore. It has been impossible
thus far to prevent their occasional
occurence. It has beeu the custom.
heretofore, merely to rejact tbe
plntes when found defective, without
asying anything, about it, but res. oi
ly (he department haa adopted a
new policy. As nothing was lo be
gained by secrecy, no effort is now
trvirio to conceal the fact that such
defective plates have been found and
rejected, although the first informa
tion to reach the puMio has received
wholly unwarranted prominence.
Representative Hayes has acted on
the suggestion made by President
Taft recently at a dinner tendered
b7 a number of Washington bust-
men, in introduoing a resolution
tn the House, this week, providing
for the restoration to the District of
Columbia of the land "which was
ceded to Virginia tn 1816, and which
prior to that time had been a part of
the District of Columbia. This land
comprise many thousands ef acres
In Alexandria County, across the
Potomao river from Washington,
and la used chiefly for agricultural
purposes, although tbe town of Alex
andria is Included. Mr. Hayes' res
olution provides that this land be
again made part of tbe District, ex
cept the town of Alexandria, and aa
thorizes the President to open nego
tiation thiough the War Depart
ment and to complete the transfer
by July 1 1910 and authorizes aa ap
propriation of $100,000 for the trans
action, la his address to the bus!
nesa men the President expressed
tbe opinion that the aot of Congress
iu receding the land to Virginia was
unconstitutional and that tbe District
of Columbia should regsin it. Mr.
Hayes' resolution bs been referred
to the Dlstrlot of Columbia Commit
tee and wilt not be soted on until the
next session, but Representative
Hayes believe that President Taft's
Interest In the plan will Insure It
passage.
President Tift and Secretary Knox

its energies to the Indulgence of var

Those familiar with Caban affairs
know that unless this epoch of ex

Resolutions of Respect
At a stated meeting of Milford
Lodge No 344 F. A A. M. held June
J, 1909, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted :
. Forasmuch aa It has plsased the
Almighty in His universal wisdom
to separate from na our brother John
D. Biddis, we memoralize the ead
event by offering this testimonial to
the worth of our departed friend and
brother.
When tie which have endured for
year are suddenly broken and one
who has been a companion, friend
and brother is taken from us we
view the event with more than ordi
nary emotions. We recall the many
pleasant hours passed in his society,
we mark his unfiling cheerfulness,
we contemplate his worth as a citi-
no and as one who bore a conspicu
on part in the sffurs of the oom
inanity and who filled bis allotted
atations in life with honor to himself
and credit to his friends aud constit
uents. We commend bis example to thofe
who would oreate for themselvea a
reoord which does not wano with
passing years because built on sab
stantial merit. We deplore the leas
of onr brother and mourn with bis
family bereft of one who was a guide,
counsellor aud intimate in tbelr daily
walk.
As he saw with enlarged vision
the beanty of the great hereafter
and cast hi burdens on the One who
alone can bear them we point his
afflloted wife and family to bis faith
and commend them to the care of
that Father whose love and consol.
atlon never fails.
Resolved that a copy of the above
miautn be spread on the record of
the Lodge and also transmitted to
to tua family of onr departed brother.

they estimate that during 1909 over

creasing so rapidly each year, if the
same disregard for the safety of oth
ers contlaues to be shown by auto
mobilists, the magnitude of th
amount of injury caused througboat
th country will be appalling."
Assuming that their figures and
expectations are based upon an ap
proximately accurate investigation,
it U manifest that the law governing
tbe legal lights and liabilities of per
sons owning and using automobiles
Is one of growing importance.
Since the publication of tbe first
edition of this work, the law on tbe
subject has developed to a marked
decree ; auany interesting and import
ant questions have been settled by
courts of last resort, aud a large
amount of legislation governing auto
mobtlliig hu been ennuted. The
necessity for a second edition arcsa
from this development.
Ou oompnrlng this volume with
the first edition, we are impressed
with tha growth of the subject.
Many of tbe chapters, as those which
treat of the rights anil liabilities of
automobile drivers, meeting and paa
sing, duty to stop, dangers of snto.
mobile driving, dt-fcuiiing speed
cases, chauffeur's sutboriiy to bird
his employer, and taxioabs, appear
to be entirely new.
The author hus sought, not mere
ly to stats the legal principles govern
ing the subject, but to interpret the
trend of Judicial development. Tbe
first edition was welt received, and
we believe tbat the second will be
heartily welcomed. We regard It as
sauch th more valuable and useful
hook.
