A Wreck at Landisville,
About 6 o'clock last Tuesday morn-
ing a wreck occurred at the Landis
ville crossing of the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad. Two P. & R.
cars and the caboose were derailed
while shifting. The accident was
due to a rope dropping down, which
was fastened to the water tank and
catching the guard rail and the main
track. As a result the cars were
lifted off the track. One car was
nearly overturned, but was held up
by being coupled to another car. No-
body was injured, but the interlock-
ing plant was damaged. The Co-
lumbia wrecking crew cleared th:
tracks and trafic was only delayed
for a brief time.

Tendered a Kitchen Shower.
In honor of the recent marriage of
their teacher, Mr. 'W. H. Pool, the
pupils of the East Petersburg Gram-
mar school on Friday evening ten-
dered him a kitchen shower at his
home. Mr. Pool was taken com-
pletely by surprise and was almost at
a loss for words to express his thanks
to the pupils. The “shower” com-
prised about everything for use in
the culinary department of the house
Mr. Pool is most appreciative of the
kind regards of his pupils.

Mr. Toppan is one of Lynn’s most prominent and highly respected

The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it

SOME USEFUL INFORMATION FOR
FARMERS—READ IT
The Acidity of Soils and How to Cure
Winter Work for Horses—Lice
and Mite in the Poultry House——
Cow and Hog on the Dairy Farm.
In a territory like the west, where
dairy Interests are increasing rapidly,
it would seem that there is an oppor-
tunity to raise a large number of hogs
in connection with the dairies. If
there are any two animals which are
particularly fitted to go together on
one farm they are the dairy cows
and the pigs. In cases where dalr-
jes are run for city purposes and all
the milk sold direct there may be
some excuse for the proprietor not
raising any hogs, but on farms where
only cream is sold and the skim-
milk kept at home, the absence of
a good herd of pigs shows bad man-
agement, There is probably no one
article of diet that is cheaper or more
capable of producing quick growth
in pigs than fresh skimmilk, and the
pig-pen is the one market where ev-
ery dairyman can dispose of the sur-
plus skimmilk with the greatest pro-
fit.
The poultry house absolutely free
of lice and mites is the happy excep-
tion and not the general rule. One
must be ever vigilant and constant-
ly aggressive in the warfare against
these pests in order to even keep
them in subjection says the writer in
an exchange. When a breeder tells
me that not a louse or mite can be
found in his poultry domain I cannot
help thinking that a thorough investi
gation of the houses would discover
some of these torments hidden away
under perches or in some dark cor-
ner. Why this doubt of my brother
or sister breeder’s assertion, do you
ask? Well, the time was when I
made like assertions, and thought
truthfully, but I had a rude awaken-
ing from my dream of louseless and
miteless houses and fowls. Just as
soon as I became aware of the pres-
ence of lice, a general cleaning was
the order of the day, but never since
have I declared as emphatically as in
the times before 1 discovered the un-
welcome residents that there were
neither lice or mites in my poultry
house. Whether you know that
there are lice or mites present or not
it will do no harm to treat the houses
as if you were sure the unwelcome
insects were there. Spray the per-
ches often with some one of the good
lice killers on the marketand occasion
ally dust the fowls well with a good
insect powder.
After the ground freezes in the
fall a large majority of the farmers
do not have enough work for their
horses to give them a sufficient a-
mount of exercise. When horses
are first confined after having had
plenty of outdoor exercise all summer
they have trouble with swelled legs,
and other derangements. The best
way to prevent these troubles is to
adjust the food to the changed con-
ditions of the horses. Those of the
horses that do very little work dur-
ing the winter do not need much
grain if they are getting all the hay
they can eat. Horses can be kept
in excellent condition when fed oats
straw that has been stowed in the
mow and a very little grain. Bran
makes an excellent feed for the great
er part of the winter grain ration;
it keeps the digestive system in good
healthy condition. An occasional
mess of boiled oats is greatly relish-
ed by the horse; a feed of this kind
should be given at least once a week.
Carrots make an excellent feed dur-
nig the winter and most horses are
very fond of them. Horses should
always have warm and well bedded
quarters. Give them water the first
thing in the morning and last thing
in the evening. Have a lump of
rock salt in each stall that they can
go to daily.
Acid soils are readily detected by
the reaction which they give with
sensitive litmus paper. In making
the test the moistened soil is pressed
against the blue litmus paper, which
changes to red in the presence of free
acids. Acid soils are made produc-
tive by using lime and other alkaline
material to neutralize the humic ac-
id before applying farm and other
manures. Acid soils are not suita-
ble for the production of clover le-
gumes. Experiments by {Wheeler
at the Rhode Island Experiment Sta-
tion indicates that there are large
areas of acid soils in the Eastern
States which were much improved
when treated with airslacked lime.
There is great difference in the pow-
er of plants to live in acid soils.
Some agricultural crops as legumes
are particularly sensitive, while many
weeds have such strong power of en-
durance that they thrive in the pres-
ence of acids. Weeds frequently
reflect that character of the soil as to
acidity, in the same way that an al-
kaline soil is indicated by the plants
produced. The acid and alkaline
compounds of the soils greatly in-
fluence the bacterial flora. In the
presence of strong acids or alkalis,
many of the bacterial changes neces-
sary for the elaboration of plant food
fail to take place.
