SOME interesting fact are con-

ton the orange trees are injured by
certain worms, and to rid themselves
from these pests, the inhabitants i'm
port ants from tie neighboring hills.
The hill people throuhout the summer
and winter find the nests oftwo species
of ants, red and yellow, suspended
from the branches of various trees,
The "orange ant breeders" are pro.
vi1ed with pig and goat bladders
baited inside with lard. The orifices
of these they apply to the entrance
of the bag like nests, when the ants
enter the bladders, and, as DR.. Mac.
gowan expresses it, "becomes a mark
etable commodity at tie orangeries."
The trees are colonized by placing
the ants on their upper branches, and
bamboo rods are stretched between
the differ ent trees, so as to give the
ants easy access to the whole orchard.
This remedy has been in constant use
at least since 1910, and probably dates
from a much earlier period.

to have the stone quarried away in

CRISIS FOR WORTHINGTON.
Following is a letter from Mr.. Geo.
D. Dayton, Of Geneva, N. Y, on the
Importance of siezing our opportunity
and securing railroads now. The let
ter contains other valuable SUCCESS
tons:
GENEVA, n. Y, May II, '82.
EDITOR ADVANCE: I notice you
print in your paper of May II, part Of
one of my letters to Z. II. Parsons on
railroads. 1t may be of interest to
some Of your readers to know some
what of our history as village in this
particular.
Geneva is on the New York Central
railroad. Some twenty years ago,
when the Northern Central railway
was proposed, Geneva could have been
the terminus if our citizens had prop
erly exerted themselves, but they did
not and rival village sixteen miles
distant attracted the road and secured
its work shops and with it large
amount OF business. Ten Or twelve
years ago, Geneva, feeling that more
railroads must be secured somehow,
bonded for $3.50, 600 for the Geneva and
Ithaca Il. II. and secured it. Shortly
after, the Geneva and Corning II. Il.
came without asking cent. Had the
Northern Central been secured as it
should have been. our village would
now be Il city and instead Of having
three railroads, we would have at least
six, for other roads would have come
to us as a railroad center.
1t seems to me that WOrthingtOn
has reached crisis in its history.
New railroads are being built all
around you. If you secure them now.
your future prosperity is assured. If
you do not secure them now, it will
soon be too late and other places will
reap the benefits that might he yours.
I remember with great deal of
pleasure my visit to Worthington last
December and the kind and friendly
way in which MANY Of your citizens
greeted me. Your village is we'll To-
Gated, and with the rich country
around you l can see no reason why
you should not prosper.
The hay press will help and the
creamery is great thing. Now, what
else can you secure? Would it not be
we'll for your citizens to organize Il
board of trade to consider what can be
done to attract business and also build
up.yuur village? Investigation will
show that some schemes are unwise
and better left alone. But if your citi-
liens act unitedly and vigorously much
can speedily be done to place your viii
lage on the road to great prosperity.
Respectfully,
G.. D. DAYTON.

I THOUSAND |. 600 900.

TO one who has never seen the vail y
of the Red river and its grain fields,
there w;.its him Il revelation such as
his widest fancy has never reached.
10 tell him Of Il fertile plain Of mex
]austible soil over 300 miles in length
by from twenty to fifty in width. con-
Gaining over 10000, 900 acres of land
capable of producing over l,O0O, 900 900
bushels Of wheat annually, is simply to
make a statement, the magnitude OF
which is as incOmprehensible as the
distance to the nearest fixed star.-
Correspondence Pioneer. Press.
But there is one thing Il settler can
comprehend rs easily as the distance
to the nearest tallow dip, and that one
thing is an annual inundation of the
Red River valley. This year water has
been unusually free and familiar with
the settlers, and with some of them on
\ short acquaintance. Water is good
for navigation, but when it gets up,
like the river Scamander, and cllases
the pioneer Achilles, including his
stock and his buildings, all over the
country, its good deal easier to CON-
prehend than the distance to the near
est fixed star, you know. 1000, 000,00O
bushels of wheat. you know, is big
thing on paper or III Il BIN, and it's it,
comprehensive, but five hundred
thousand mil ion bushels of water Co.
ing through everything in reckless
manner, without any respect for good
society or any regard for its own char
acter, can be comprehended by All av-
erage settler and appreciated if he has
a boat or life preseryer. Yes, sir.
the Red RIVER is a proper thing in its
place, Il foot OF so below its banks, but
the Red River going througha settlers
pockets, bureau drawers, and bed
clothes, and making a new channel
right through his favorite cow or his
last baby, is quite an improper thing
to have in the family. LOCO, 0OO, 900
bushels of wheat and 500 thousand
1905, 900 bushels Of water can't live to-
getlier III the same community. They
are inharmoliOus and keep up an sir
repressible conflict" The laws, more
over, are inadequate up that way, in
that rude state Of society, to the pun
ishment of wild river when it gets Oh
the rampage and goes around smash
ing things in a disorderly manner.
There's no redress. Society can't even
take the law in its Own hands and set
the thing right. 100000, 900 bushels
Of wheat don't like to settle in u coun-
try where 500 thousand 100000
bushels of water 60 swarming over the
country once year like horde Of bar
barians.

The Worthingten ADVANCE is still
of the opinion that one or two more
roads will be built into that place this
year. After the survey is all complet-
I'd to Sioux Falls from Spirit Lake the
ADVANCE still claims the road, and
what under the sun there is in Worth
ingtOn to induce the road to come
there is more than we can see, when Il
city is more desirable and so close at
hand. We think Bro. Miller is labor
ing und. l. an ''ipspiration from the
spirits,' more than from solid facts
relative to the proposed roads. Give
us Il long rest.-Sioux Falls Argus.
The Argus is badly mixed or is not
posted. The ADVANCE has never
claimed that the Spirit Lake 4 West
ern was coming to Worthington. On
the contrary we have said it was aim
ing at Sioux Falls. What we have
claimed and keep claiming is that the
Burlington is coming to Worthington.
The company has surveyed two pre-
lininary lines to this place, the new
maps for 1882 all show the road as COM
pleted to Worthington, and the lead
ing officer of the road writes that they
hope to have all the arrangements per-
fected for pushing on to Worthington
after July LIST. If sucl, facts us these
are an ''inspiration of the Spirits"
give US more ''inspiration. We sup
pose when the new depot is up and tile
engines are footing in town the Argus
will call it all ''inspiration." Yes, the
ADVANCE is inspired.

THE DREAMER


The ADVANCE figures out a business
of about $4,000 for the creamery this
year. That is what two men Of Wor-
farmers near by. 1t puts al addition
al value on every COW, on every acre Of
land within the radius travelled by the
creamery people. 1t makes the farms
self supporting ut once, and insures il
crop that drOuth and bad weather will
not injure. 1t is IL pity that such fine

miles of Window must remain parti-
ally unproductive for want Of a cream
