The time for the wonderful storm is past,
and in Brothersvalley, instead of tempest,
there was a great calm.
Last Wednesday night the dwelling house
of George Hanger, with all its contents save
q few chairs and q table. was destroyed by
fire. Your correspondent has not learned
how the fire originated, nor whether or not
the building was insured.
There hes not been much sugar made in
this township up to the present writing, but
some of the sugar-mskers have had their
trees tapped for more than three weeks The
indications now are that the sugar season
will be " short but sweet" -.
Some Of our aviarians have, since last
fall,, lost hundreds Of their chickens, both
young and old. through chicken cholera,
and we hear ofs few that have died this
spring of the same disease If any of the
readers of the HERALp knows pfa cure or Q
preventive of this disease, . report through
the HERALD viii be thankfully received in
B~rothesvalley.
We are glad to report that Harry lands,
of whose sickness mention was made q few

Mrs. John J.. Blough is visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Isaiah Brant, at youngstown
Ohio. .~Sheexpects to remain several weeks.
This Is the fnt trip she has ever taken on

James weigles an old and respected citi-

Last season . majority Of our dairymen
keyed their butter in the old.way, and in
the fall shipped 1t to the diHerent commls-
sion merchants in Baltimore. A few Of
them received the proceeds in q short time
some have their butter in baltimore, still
unsold some shipped to . firm that failed,
but their butter was sold and they received q
check for the proceeds, and had it cashed at
our home bank but in the mean time the
firm failed. and they had to refund the
money and pay costs besides. This reminds
me o! Henry Ward Beecher's experience in
farming. A part of his book account ran
thus Bought q pig for six dollars, fed him
thirty dollars.worh of corn, and sold him
for fifteen dollars; gained on the pig, but
lost on the corn" So our dairymen gained
on their butter, but lost on the check. The
lesson to be learned is that when you can
get . fair price for either milk, cream or
butter at home. sell Il, and don't hold it
back, and finally get nothing, or but very
little, for your crop.
