Signs of the Coming Winter.

awe are going to have an early
fall and long, cold, hard winter
remarked Samuel Lovelance, an old
Jersey farmer, to several friends at
the New Washington Market yester
day.
"How do you figure that out?"
asked one of the marketmen.
"In the first place." the Jerseyman
replied, ''just try the skin of any of
your fruit, You will fad your ap-
piles and peaches and grapes, and all
your fruit, Tor that matter, which is
home grown, with thicker and
tougher skin than you have seen for
several years. That is one of the
indications. That is the way nature
takes care of her products. Last
winter apples and other fruits were
so thin skinned and tender that it
was hard to gather them without
bruising them, if you will remember,
and we had an extraordinarily mild
winter. Corn is another OF natures
sign boards. The ears this year are
protected by thicker and stronger
husks than l have seen before for
years, and talking with farmers up
in Pennsylvania find it is the same
way. Wheat and rye straw are
tougher, hay is wirier and the seed
pods are better protected than usual
These are old farmers signs, and
they are good ones, because they
don't come from any moon.planting

New York Star.
Like ak metcoric wisdom from
similar sources, the above is the
sheerest bosh. The apples left tc
nature would fall and rot before
winter set in and their thick skins
would afford no protection to the
seed whatever. Corn husks, wheat
straw and all vegetable growth i:
very rank this season simply because
there has been an abundance of wei
weather, while the grain part of the
product is correspondingly small
This result can readily be produced
in the dryest season by supplying
the plant with an over dose Of water
through the entire season, and with
out the slightest regard to the com
winter. Though the abundant sun
slime of a dry season might counter
act to some extent the depressing
influence of cloudy days on the for
nation of grain and seeds, but the
same heavy growth of stalk and
husk would be produced to shield the
grain from the acinter's cold! And

The fourth annual convention of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Cecil county held in Ris-
ing Sun last Friday was an interest
ing nvention, and demonstrated
the educating power which this great
grand cooperative body exerts in
many ways. The most apparent
feature to spectators is the business
method the members acquire. There
are forty departments of work, each
department requiring separate atten-
ton and o report to be made to the
Convention. The President, the
Secretary and ChairwomGn of the
association and departments acquire
very considerable clerical and par
limentary knowledge in their routine
duties. This training was brought
out very conspicuously in the pro.
ceedings of the convention. The
President, Mrs, Milligan, presided
with dignity and ability that would
grace any legislative assembly, and
the secretaries and heads of the var
ious departments when called, rose
in their places, read their reports
and when occasion required explain.
ed and commented on their branches
of work.
The President delivered her annual
address. and acknowledged the COM
pliment of her reelection in grace
full and extemporc manner that would
do infinite credit to the trained par
Humanitarian and diplomat.
When Fair Work" was reached
in routine business, and the an
nouncement was made, by the Secre.
tary reading notice from one of the
county papers, that the managers Of
the County Fair had decided to sell
the privilege of pool selling at the
races, the Convention was on it's feet
and at fever heat in a minute. The
President stepped to the front of the
platform and famed with indignant
protest. The Secretary drew up a
hasty resolution which entreated,
denounced, expostulated with and
threatened the management of the
Fair. When the tempest had spent
its force committee was appointed to
to confer with the officers of the Fair
and endeavor to have the pool selling
resolution rescinded. The following
officers were elected: President, Mrs.
j. r Milligan, of Zion; vice-presi :
dent, Mrs. Isaac Jewell, of Rising
Sun; recording secretary, Miss Mary
&. Warning, of Colora; correspondent 2
secretary, Mrs. L. M. Haines, of
Elkton; assistant recording secretary
Mrs. Edwin Haines, of Rising Sun
treasurer, Mrs. G. A. Martindale, of
Zion. Superintendent of depart
ments were appointed.
In the evening, Mrs. Mary Allen,
NJ. D., delivered a most able and in.
structiYe lecture before the associa
ton.
