James g. Grouse informs us that
Notwithstanding the whits-clover
season, the best in the year for honey
lis about over, his bees must be fed
daily to prevent them from starva-

Prospects for an abundance OF fruit
this year were very bright, but 1t is
believed that the cherry blossom has
bssn drowned by the continuous
rains which have visited this section
lately. Grave doubts are entertained
about the outcome Of the apple crop
since the heavy frost OF Wednesday
last. Some visitors report the ap-
pies safe.
The most accurate method, and the
one most In use by experienced rail-
road men, 10 to count the number OF
rail joints the train passes over la
twenty seconds. The rails In nearly
all cases are thirty feet In length, and
the number passed over In twenty
seconds Is the speed per hour a train
is running. For instance, ifa pass
enger sitting In q sleeper can count
thirty clicks Of the wheels on a rail
joint in twenty seconds the train Is
running at the speed OF thirty miles
An hour.
A new enemy is showing itself. The
grub worm that works on the roots
Of cabbage plants. The plants may
look fresh and healthy In the morn
ing and by levening they drop their
leaves and show every sign OF dis~
tress. BY digging to the roots you
will find snall white worm, / inch
In length which eats the smaller roots
Of the plant and causes 1t to wither
and die. This nuisance with the cur
rentsworIn, the potatoe bug and the
English sparrow almost make IL nec-
essary for the person who expects
vegetables TO stand all day In the
garden armed out a grubbing-
and shotgun.

The citizens OF Hartley township
have crossed swords over the matte
of removing the depot located a
Glen Iron to a point one mile cas-
and opposite Albright's Park, o
erecting the new station on the sit
OF the old one. Naturally enough
the people who live close by tn
lpresent station are up In arms, claim
ing that their town Is "looking up.
and that jealousy OF probable con
tinusd growth and surprising i'm
Iportance is what inspires their neigh
bors In their sndeavor to influence
change. On the other hand man,
good reasons are given for the re
: Imoval. A new station Is to be erecte'
and 10 is claimed that the change O
site will offer the greatest conven
