and sulphuric acid, poison. We hope

date says that Somerset county is the
great horse producing county of West
ern Pennsylvania; that it furnishes
more horses, and they demand better
prices, than any other county in the
State" The Press is mistaken. But

in the horse line, than Somerset or any
other county in the State. This is an
admitted fact by all dealers.

Now is the time to destroy the ver-
min that lurk in the loose bark of your
fruit trees. Give the trunks of the trees
and the larger limbs good scrubbing

gy bark and destroy the larvae and
eggs of the various enemies of the
fruit. and act as fertilizer and stimu-
liant to the trees. You will find abund-
ant reward later in the season in
thrifty trees and perfect fruit.
