''Uncle" Thomas Cheney reached
the age OF 80 on Saturday last. The
occasion was observed by his son
William, who invited old associates in
for an afternoons visit. "Uncle Tom"
is still bright as a button and is good
company for old or young.
The ''club room," if reports from
trustworthy sources are true, is be-
coming nuisance, and clearly very
unwholesome resort for boys. There
are members of the club, who, we
certainly believe, have had nothing to
do with some of the late performan-,
ces there, and feel a sense of morti-
fication, that is much to their credit,
while others seem proud of their
achievements. Boys, it won't pay.
Clement Smith has a horse that is
entitled to ''notice in the paper"
Clement found her the other day in
the cellar with the hogs. The only
way she could reach there was through |
a scuttle hole feet by 40 inches in
the stable floor with a fall of nine
feet to the cellar bottom. She per-
formed the feat without a scratch or
any apparent injury. She probably
got loose and backed into the hole,
very much to her surprise. A place
had TO he sawed out in the basement
orr she could be brought TO light.

Ten. and rightly managed the income
will be from 81 80 to So for that time.
Good management means sunlight,

apartments, a variety of food, warm
mess for breakfast. grain for dinner.
Fifteen minutes twice a day, ordinarl-
allv. is all the time that need be given.
The time required is So slight that
people are apt to omit even that.
Hence, they say, ''don't pay" Like
any other business, it must be faith
fully attended 10. That done and
we believe 200 hens will make better
returns than the average 20 acre farm.
Following is a suggestion that
ought to lie needed by all fruit grow
ers. Every one will remember how
troublesome the worms were the past
season. Let US destroy them so far
as possible:
Every orchardist should take some
time between leaf falling in the au-
tumn and spring to detect and de-
stroy insect eggs in the trees and
mild days in winter afford as good
time as any for this work. The eggs
of the tent caterpillar may readily be
discovered now, being found encir-
cling the ends of small twigs. Every
single nest of these clipped off will
save a hoset of marauders next sum-
mer. The eggs of the sack-bearer'
or drop worm may now also be deiec-
ted, as they hang suspended from the
small branches of trees Once about
the task it is found very satisfactory,
as one realizes what great number
of caterpiIlars in embryo are being
destroyed.
