Mr. Taylor, like his brother James, first settled on the uplands in Shrewabury township, but in 1838 moved to the valley lands in Davidson township. cleared large farm and was prominent in forwarding the improvements of the township. He held for many years the office of Justice of the Peace, and wAs twice elected County Commissioner.

He took active part in the political interests of the county, and was among the first to offer favorable inducements for establishlag tanneries in the county, and upon his lands was erected the Muncy Valley tannery. This tannery was commenced about 1868 by L. R. Bump. He came from Wayne county.

He WAS practical farmer, and for a few years prior to lorating at Muncy Valley had the supervision of the Laporte tannery under A. Lathrop Co. The building first erecte 1 less extensive than those now in use. was Mr. Bump continued in the business, being aided by his father, who WAS silent partner for about five years, when the property WAS destroyed by fire, the loss estimated at about $20,000.

The property was rebuilt by Mr. Bump, but he was unable to go on with the business for any length of time and removed his family to Chicago. After a few changes in ownership the property came in possession of D. T. Stevens Son.

These gentlemen possessed abundant means and had much experience in conducting the tanning business. They gradually enlarged the capacity of the establishment and purchased additional lands and built comfortable dwelling houses for a large number of workmen. A few years after they had engaged in the enterprise the tannery was again destroyed by fire at a loss of nearly $100,000. Fortunately, the Messre. Stevens were repaid by insurance and the works rebuilt in a short time.

The business continued under their ownership for about twenty years, when it was embraced with the other tanneries in the county by the Union Tanning Company. The annual capacity is rated at 225,000 sides of sole leather and gives employment to 120 men. Hon. Joseph Gansel, who came to reside in Davidson in 1881, had for thirty years been one of the most prominent citizens of the county. He was born Miffin township, Columbia county, in 1818.

After arriving at the years of manhood Joseph went to live at Foundryville, near Berwick, and there became intimately ass ciated with 8. F. Headley.

Mr. Headley at this time having established store at Headleyville, in Sullivan county, and was otherwise interested in Dashore property, indaced Mr. Gansel to go to Cherry township and take charge of his store. He had previously married a daughter of John Auman. In September, 1851, he removed his family to Sullivan county.

After conducting the mercantile business for a short time for Mr. Headley he was indaced, in connection with Col. James Degen, to parchase the Headley store. The partnership continued for seventeen months, when he sold his interest to his partner and engaged in the employ of Wells Wilcox, who were then largely engaged in the mercantile business in Dushore. Subsequently a change was made in the firm to that of Wells Ackley, Mr.

Gansel CODtinuing with them about six years. In this connection he had become one of the most popular men residing at Dushose, and his health having failed from too close confinement in the store, he was persuaded by his friends to accept the nomination of the Free Soil Party for the office of Sheriff, and although that party Was largely in the minority Mr. Gansel's popularity WaS 80 great that he was elected to the office. In 1860 he removed his family to Laporte. In 1871 he received the nomination of the Republican party for the office of Associate Judge and although the minority party he was elected to the office.

He held the position for the term of five years. Ramained upon his farm in Laporte township until 1881, on being employed by Stevens Son to take charge of the bark furnishing business connected with their extensive tannery, he removed to Muncy Valley, continuing in this very laborious employment for three or four years; he then retired from the business. After the Williamsport and North Branch railroad was bailt through Davidson township. Mr. Gansel engaged in various capacities in forwarding the interests of the road.

In all the business relations of life he proved himself an honored and respected citizen. Ia his early years united with the Methodist Episcopal church and the interests of that church have always been dear to him and his services have been constantly in demand as an office bearer. He has Alled the position of class leader for over 40 years. during which time he has been the leading man in the obtaining of funds and erection of three church edifices, that of Dushore, in 1853, Laporte in 1872, Muncy Valley shortly after moving to that place.

There are pastures that have never produced as profitable crops as the trees on them. To get anything out of these pastures today you have to send cattle scurrying over a large area to get what they should get on six or eight acres.

The result is the cow works herself to death and works the butter out of her cream and the cream out of her milk. A cow should never take any more exercise than is absolutely necessary for her health, because exercise costs money, costs food, costs milk and costs butter. A cow that has to scurry over a large area to get food will not begin to give as much milk as one which can get it on a small area and lie down and chew her cad and rest. Now, the question is what to do with these pastures. You cannot fertilize them with manure, because that disgusts the cow.

Consequently what is known as grass dressing, prepared by fertilizer companies, is a good thing. In these pastures you have failed to renew the value taken from them by grazing. You have kept them from seeding. They need reseeding. They need also to be broken under, plowed and harrowed.

The ordinary slanting toothed harrow is a good thing to use. In as early spring as you can possibly get on to it go over this pasture with a slanting toothed harrow and give it a good mixture, as much as possible a mixture of June grass and white clover. It is an excellent combination. If you choose, a little red clover. Then follow with your dressing, and, if you can, give it a dressing of land plaster, which is a good thing.

In future handling of the pasture that is run down divide it. Cattle tread down at least three or four times as much as they crop. Say, take a pasture of 40 acres and divide it into three parts. Put the cows into this third this week, the next third the next week and the last third the next week and right back again, and you will find a large improvement in the croppage also in the character of the butter and cream, an improvement in its flavor. A Convenient Farm Gate.

It is claimed that this gate not only hangs plumb, will remain so permanently without being displaced or sagged to one side by rains, winds or bad weather. Best Solls For the Potato. The conclusion arrived at by The American Agriculturist, and based on reportod results from many and varying sections of the country, is that the best soils for the profitable growing of the potato are light gravelly or sandy loam, or those varying between a sandy and a clay loam, enriched by the sediment and remains of former alluvial deposits or decayed vegetablo matter, new lands, those lately cleared aud burned over, and limestone soils.

Naturally unfavorable land may be rendered satisfactory by proper preparation. A strong clay soil thoroughly drained, well pulverized and fertilized with mineral manures or worn soils brought up by a generous application of stable manure, wood ashes or special fertilizers may be regarded as in suitable condition to produce a good yield of potatoes. In no clayey soil can the potato be grown to perfection as regards quality. Grown on dry, new land, the potato cooks fine and mealy, possessing a rich and agreeable flavor not to be attained in potatoes grown on older soils. A thin but fertile soil, resting upon a retentive clay or slaty subsoil, is not desirable for potatoes, even though artificially drained.

Good drainage is indispensable to successful culture. A naturally drained, loose, mellow, clover sod or stubble after stiff sod is the best possible type of a potato growing soil. The Lettuces. Improved Boston Market for hotbeds and early planting out of doors, Trianon Cos for spring and early summer, and Deacon, Thorburn's Market Gardeners' and Salamander for summer. It is easy enough to get good lettuces up till June, but between the middle of July and the end of August the lettuce question is a troublesome one, according to the editor of Gardening, who says: The plants hardly get to hearting size when they "bolt, and the best of them at that time is poor and tough in quality.

In the cooler northern states and high elevations, this isn't so, but here on Long Island good lettuces in the hot summer months are beyond us. The Average Now England Farm. Professor Sanborn of New Hampshire, who is quite familiar with western farming, is quoted by Maine Farmer 39 saying: "For a moderate gum entirely within the bounds of economy the average New England farm may be fitted for the use of every essential machine used on the prairies of the west, so that if a western farmer can handle 40 acres of corn the eastern farmer can do it The New England farmer will not be man enough to balance his western brother until muscular tension is relieved by the substitution of abundant machinery ou the 9,80 pm.
