The Cold vHen4hon

When the telegraph reported snow
storms and freezing weather in Iowa
minnesota and other Western States
on thursday, there was natural an
prehenslon on the part of our peach
growers, lest it strike this section with
suhclent force at least for a heavy
frost, but the course of that wave was
evidently diverted by the heavy rain
STORM that was passing over us at the
same Ilme from sOuthernly direction.
On saturday again a driving snow
storm was reported in Michigan and
northern Ohio, and there was quite a
lall OF temperature here that night. but
tnat and Sunday night were both
cloudy, which doubtless saved US from
nilpping frost. Monday night it was
cold enough to make frost on our low.
lands, but without damage. There is n
possible danger Of frost even till the frat
OF fJune, but damage after the middle Of
May IS exceedingly rare. The follow

We would have given you an ac-
count of the Lynch and Wallace fracas
last week, but there were two versions
to the story, and we had rather let il
pass than do either an injustice. The
account in the Morning NetUs Of the

that the man on the horse was not hit

tackled and his blood stirred un he

With the exception of probable

remarks on the subject:
Spring chickens were recently sold
In New York city for sixtv.fve cents
per pound. Think of that. We natinnt
and bard-wOrking farmers who are
raising wheat and corn for hard nan
prices. Get an incubator or two and
set to work supplying the want for
spring chickens. You never hear of
an over production of early Snring
chickens, and no matter how hard The
times, city folks will continue TO IooL
spring chickens in the face. even ot
slxty-iive cents a pound. Peninsular
FARMERS should turn their attention to
supplying the cities of the North with
irult, vegetables and Spring chickens
and make of this favored land one vast
orchard, garden and poultry ward
Inc trult business has been satisfactor-
lily tried, but the Spring chicken in
dustry is yet in its infancy here. There
IS probably more profit in twenty acres
OF land and an incubator than there IS
In five hundred acres of wheat at tho
present price"
