John Taggard, VIM. Clyme and John
Conroy were summonsed to Port HUI
ron last Wednesday as witnesses in the
suit of the People Va. John Sexton for
selling liquor without a license.
There was one of eye olden time"
fights last Tuesday evening i'll Brown
4 Easton's saloon, one of the kind of
which we hear. 1t seems that a crowd
of fellows were returning home from
sale east of the village. They had
already imbbed of the tire-water and
stopped in at this saloon for another
bout. While there George Staley and
John Gleason got into row, and
John Heron interfered to stop it. He
was then attacked and, as it seems,
narrowly escaped with his life. He
received some painful cuts about the
head, and was taken to DR.. Clyne's
office to have them sewed up.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
copy of the Utica Saturday Globe,
which speaks in very fiattering terms
of the "Cow Boy" preacher in Roches-
ter. 1t is needless to remark that this
formidable name refers to our much
esteemed townsman, $. +. Bettes. The
work which Mr.. Bettes has laid out
for himself is Il great one, and nothing
but the Robustness of his nature could
accomplish it. To quote the words of
the article, ole is going to stay in town
until he kicks good deal of the sin
out of it, or gets kicked out himself,
and we will bet new hat on the first
proposition" This explains admira-
bly, the unique position which Mr..
Bettes can occupy III community.
l.. +. Richardson, of Strathroy, is in
the vicinity of Peck, looking up To-
cation for a cheese factory. He will
run the factory on his own response
bilty. Why would it not be good
plan for the farmers i'll this vicinity to
have the factory located here? BY
making little effort, and engaging
among themselves to furnish II number
of cows by May lst it could be done
easily as we are informed. In certain
directions from the village there is no
cheese factory ut all. Those in that
direction should take this matter in
hand The factory could be secured
here if the people have the energy to
make the trial.
The Teachers Association held last
Saturday at the school house was
very successful meeting in every way.
A report can be found in the "Items

attended by the village people and all
felt themselves thoroughly repaid. At
the close of the meeting the Following
resolution was offered and adopted:
Whereas, the people of Yale and vicin-
ity have Hospitality entertained the
teachers from distance and furnished
some excellent music for the occasion,
and have contributed largely to its
success. Therefore be it resolved that
the Association tend them Il vote of
thanks for their kindness.

BACHELORS BUTTONS.

Unpretentious flowers That AFFORD tho
Gardener Continual Delight.
If bachelors buttons once enter the
family gardens they come to stay-not,
however. to the discomfort of the
gardener, but, on the contrary, to his
continual delight. For this self-same
annual appears year after year under
the most adverse circumstances, to fur
nish its graceful, dainty blooms from
early summer to the very end Of the
season. I only give them the odd cor
ners because of this pertinacity to live
and do well where nothing else will,
and SO oftentime they have but the
vegetable garden for background
with but common potato or pea vine
for a comrade. They are SO very old
fashioned that think our great-grand-
mothers must have been the first to
plant the seed, and few of the flower
loving world of to-day are as well ac-
quainted with their merits as our an
cestors; yet, as old things are every day
growing more fashionable, why should
not this charming old flower?
Sometimes the people, upon coming
into my country garden from the
town below, cry out: ''Oh, what are

those?" and when tell them bachelors
buttons they have not even heard Of
the name, but are delighted to have a
handful to wear, and, by the way, no
flower with a long slender stem is more
graceful than these for breast knot,
or will last longer out of water-their
vitality and pertinacity again.
They are of a variety of colors, of
which different shades of blue and pink
are the most common, with sometimes
q clear pure white among them. They
grow upon tall slender stems, and are
wonderful little blooms of ragged or
pinked-out edges, with only themselves
for show, since their foliage is so deli
cate it is not at all observable when
they are in bloom. They will SOW
themselves year after year, coming up
in the hardest and most uncompromis-
ing places, and require but the hand of
the weeder to keep them in order. For
a tall, delicate-lipped vase they are pc
culiarly beautiful as cut flowers, and
will last upon the stalks until you
wonder at them; and all the time their
color remains as bright as at first

ABOUT BEE PASTURAGE.

No Two Points Plants Seem to Aver
age Exactly Alike.
In a paper read before the North
American Beekeepers's Association at
Keolxulz, Ia, A. /. Root says: Past ex-
perience seems to have taught us that
not only is it true that no plant bears
honey invariably. but it is also true that
a great many plants may now and then
give quite yield of honey. Doolittle
got quite crop of very nice honey from
teasel. DIR. Miller had quite a little
honey yield from cucumbers, where
they were raised for pickle factories.
Spanish-needle from the swamps
sometimes gives large quantities of
very rich amber honey. Last season
DIR. Miller had a yield of very nice
honey right along for months; and. if I
am correct, he does not know yet where
it came from. When 1 visited him he
asked me if I could see enough white
clover, or clover of any kind, to account
for the amount of honey that was then
coming in. 1 could not And yet
there was nothing else visible to
us, in our miles of travel, that
should furnish it. Rape sometimes
give quite flow of beautiful honey in
localities where the plant is raised
largely for seed. Mustard fields also
furnish more or less. The question is
sometimes asked: Shall we give up our
location and move to a better one?
Sometimes it may pay to do SO, if we
have decided that honey raising is to be
our business for life. But after we
make the move we may discover that
the honey has ceased in the new loca-
ton; and at the same time we may find,
too, that the old locality has been
blessed with bountiful flow. Instead
of moving would locate a few colonies,
say five or six miles away, in different
directions. Many of our bee-keepers
who have ''out apiaries" have in this
way found points were the honey yield
is much better, year after year, than in
the home apiary. 1t is fact that no
two points seem to oaverage exactly
alike. Some honey is to be found al
most everywhere, and occasionally
there comes few days of bountiful
yield almost everywhere.

A5ouT FOUL BROOD.
The Most Difficult Problem Confronting
the Apiarist To-Day.

the Apiarist To-Day.
In paper before the North Ameri-
can Bee-Keepers' Association at Keo-
kuk, Allen Pringle gave the following
concerning foul brood: This is the most
serious and difficult question confront
ing the apiarist to-day. The foul-brood
problem has stood the longest def
anee to our heads and menace to our
pockets. During the honey flow is the
best time for operating.
In the evening remove the bees and
queen from the diseased colony, and
place them in a clean hive. with founda-
ton starters. Four days afterwards
take away all frames of comb and
starters from them, and give them full
sheets Of foundation, or empty comb
which you know to be free from the
faint of disease. The colony is now
cured, and will rear brood. healthy
and free from the disease. until con-
tracted again through the ingathering
of diseased honey, or otherwise. The
honey is the chief, if not the only medi-
UNI of the contagion, and one drop of
the affected honey brought INTO a
healthy colony, if used for larval
food. is sufficient to start the dis
ease. To cure foul-brood colony In
the fall, after the honey season is over,
remove the bees and queen from their
hive and place them in clean hive
with as many frames OF healthy. sealed
honey or sirup as may be required for
winter. The combs must be complete
" filed and sealed so that the bees
will retain the diseased honey they
may bring with them until it is digest
ed, instead of depositing it in the
combs, and SO that the queen may have
no place to deposit eggs until all the
danger is past. This is the simple plan
of curing foul-brood. followed by Mr..
McEvoy, our inspector, and is invari-
ably successful. He has treated hum
dreds of cases during the past season,
without single failure. Since he be-
gan his official work. in May last, under
our act, he has examined nearly hum
dred apiaries and thousand colonies.
Many whole apiaries which were fairly
rotten with the disease, are now found
to be perfectly sound and healthy.

PROTECTION WANTED AT HOME.

Cheap Southern Iron Close Up Furnaces in
Pennsylvania and ohio---Protectioa-
Asked of the Railroads
The lowest cost of making pig iron IN

Since this report was publised last

1t is remarkable fact that the South

furnaces in the South have had no sort

Twenty-three blast furnaces Were re-
Gently shut down in the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, throwing nearly O,OO0 workmen
out of employment
In explaining this event the American
Manufacturer, a great protectionist
trade journal of Pittsburgh, says: 1.-The
first reason given by the furnace own
ers why they can not continue opera
tons under present conditions Is the
large amount of Southern iron now
being shipped into that district"
As no tariff can be levied by one State
against another the Pennsylvania and
Ohio iron men know not where to turn
for protection from Alabama They
find that Iron is hauled from Birming-
ham, Ala, to Youngstown, o., about
500 miles, for $40 n ton The rate
paid on pig from Youngstown to
Pittsburgh, Ga miles, is 50 cents
, per ton In one case this is a half
cent 4 ton mile, in the other IL Is l. %

What, then, do the Shenango and
Mahoning men want? The Manufact-
urer says they 'Shold that they should
be protected from Southern competi-
ton by making the rate in iron from
the South commensurate with that

that, being situated midway between

The Farmers burden,

As the principal cause of agricultural
depression the New York Commercial
Bulletin estimates that from $500, oOe 600
to $500, 600. 600 is taken from the farm
ers every year by tariff taxation. Other
classes, being protected, can recoup
themselves for tariff tax by raising
prices; but, as the Bulletin points out,
the farmers can not do this, for their
prices are fixed in foreign markets.
The Bulletin says that this occult drain
upon the rewards of agriculture must
be regarded as the chief cause of the
present impoverishment of the farmers
and of the discontents which find a
cropping expression in the Alliance or
CARNATIONS"
When the farmer finds out the extent
to which the tariff is taking away his
money and giving it to other people
there will be a political cyclone in this
country in comparison with which that
