FARMERS COLUMN.
APennsYIvnnia Frnit Farm.

The Erie (Pa.) Herald publishes the fol-
lowing concerning the fruit farm Of Mr.. A.
Battles, at Girard, in that county: "The
largest, finest and most productive fruit farm
in Erie county, in the State, is that Of this
article Although this farm is only about
three miles from the beautiful borough of
Girard, venture to say that many persons
in this township who are admirers of rural
beauty, Of choice fruit have never SCENT OF
the 10000 or 10000 bearing fruit trees on
these two hundred acres, 5000 are apple trees
/ 500 pear trees; $500 peach trees, and 500
ounce trees all of choice varieties. When
visited the farm in June, the prospect for
a fine yield ofapples, pears and peaches was
flattering; but the severe and protracted
drought has caused much Of the fruit to
wither and fall. Mr. B. has six acres of
grapes, mostly Concords, although he grows
Catawbas, Isabellas, aud other choice kinds
to accommodate his customers. As his farm
is bounded on the west by dense forest,
his fruit have never been injured by that de-
structive insect, the rosebug.
Fourteen acres of the farm are planted to
Strawberries, raspberries and blacliberries.
Mr.. B. prefers the Crescent Seeding to any
other strawberry for the table or market Its
yield is wonderful. 1t is larger than the
Wilson and has finer color and flavor.
"Although the extremely dry weather has
probably reduced the yield one half, pre-
sent the figures below as a result Of Mr.. BIS
strawberry season. Whole amount gathered
from II acres, 275 bushels, mostly Wilson's.
Whole amount for Crescent Seedlings gath
cred from one-tentb of an acre, 47l bushels,

Oats are justly advocated as the grain

true that for young horses, and those used on

SEPTEMBER.

The golden-rod is yellow;
the corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes,
Are curling In the sun;
In dusty pods the milkwecd
its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flauut their harvest
In every shady nook;
And asters by the brook-side
Make ssters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all ftutter
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here.
With summers best tf weather.
And autumn's best OF cheer.
But none OF all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air,
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
lis thing which remember;
To name 1t thrills me yet

never can forget.

A Pullman Car Incident.

1t was in Pullman sleeper between
Albany and Buffalo. Among the passen
gers we're a middle aged couple, evident
lv on their first Journey, and a sour faced
old maid, rather dessicated IN her gener
al effect, who was travelling alone The
couple had an upper berth, and the maid
en- we'll stricken in years the upper berth
in the adjoining section. In the same car
were couple of frolIcsome youths, ready
for anv kind Of mischief. Bed time came.
and all hands retired. But the husband
could not sleep. Whether it was because
IF the motion of the cars, the noise or
the novelty of the situation, he could not
tell, but try as he would, he could not
sleep. At length it occurred TO him that
he was thirsty. The more he thought OF
it the more thirsty he got. So he called
the porter, who brought the ladder and
helped him down. Now, while he was
gone for the water, one Of the boys
stel ped out Of bed and shifted the ladder
50 that it rested against the berth in
which the ancient maiden was sleep
ing, and then returned 10 his bed TO
note the result. In moment or two the
husband returned, and erept quietly
up the steps anxious to make rs little
noise as possible, so as not to awaken his
wife. The occupant Of the berth, thus
rudely intruded upon, awokc with start,
and screamed. The husband, supposing
1t to be his easily frightened wife, tried
to reassure her, and said, ITS only me
| Only you, YOU old scoundrel," said the
venerable malden, | II teach you les
| son. and with that she seized him by the
halr Of his head and screamed for help
Then he howled with pain. Then bis
wife, awakened by the noise, discovered
where her husband was, and raised heI
voice in lamentation, heaping reproache
upon her faithless spouse. Then the
passengers all got up and demanded 81
| explanation Of aIl the connection, and
foremost among them the wretch who
had caused it all. Then the husband
covered with confusion. and utterly un.
| able to account for what he had done
climbed down from his perch and slunk
away to bed, where he was 8 undly lee
tured for his faithessness. Altogether il
was a most uncomfortable though ludic-
rous situation, and the chances of def
ance that were exchanged between the
wife and tie old maid ali through the
next day were study. The cause of al
the trouble leaked out, but it never
reached the ears of those chiefly affected
by it.
