fare back Of Cape May was decided upon, and
Immediately after breakfast the President and
Mrs Harrison, Attorney General Miller, Mrs
Dimmick. Lieut. and Mrs. Parker and Baby

The Harvest is Past,

but the summer is not yet ended, and
is the time for building and repairing.
The farmer will know by this time the
extent of the damage done by frost
and will have a fair idea Of the amount
of improvements he can afford in the
way of building and repairing. Almost
every man in the county will have to do
something in this line this season. We
would be pleased to meet each and
every one of you and talk with you
about lumber. We would be more
than pleased to sell you your building
material. We have a good dry stock of
all that is needed for building and re-
pairing. We will not be undersold and
will try to make all our dealings pleas
ant and profitable for you.
We will buy barley this year, and
will take all kinds of grain in exchange
for lumber or accounts and will pay
one cent above market price for same.

THE HUM OF INDUSTRY.

P. D. Armour is the largest individual
commercial operator in the world. His
transactions last year reached the enor-
nous aggregate of S63, 100000. =,
The Pixies Peake railroad is in success
full operation. The lower terminus of the
line is 6.840 feet above sea level and the
upper IA, Az. The distance is nine miles.
In eastern New Mexico nearly 100000
acres of fruit and farm lands have been
reclaimed by the construction of storage
reservoirs and irrigating canals during the
past two years.
What is said to be the largest lumber
mill in the world is at Fort Blakely, Wash.
Last year this mill turned out 50, 900, 900
feet Of lumber, over $4,000, 900 laths and
a large amount of other stock.
One thousand dollars more than the
price paid for the land was Henry Mitchell's
reward for planting eight acres in sweet
potatoes. His farm is at Swedesboro,
N. j., and good seed with good tilling
brought $3.50 an acre for the sweets.
Morgan Mory, of Upper Saucon, Pa,
has just had his barn reroofed with tin.
The structure was built in 1853, when it
was rooted with cedar. A number of
years later pine shingles took the place Of
the cedar. It has been rooted only three
times during its existence.
At the Frankfort electrical exhibition
there was an interesting feature in the
shape of series Of arc lamps supported
on revolving drum. The lamps are
kept burning in spite of the movement,
and the device is said to be valuable es-
pecially for steamboats,, locomotives and
lighthouses.
Experiments have been made on a ranch
in Kern county, Cal, to determine
whether the fibre Of the ramie plant may
be separated from the bark without large
expense. French machinery of recent de-
sign was imported, and the result is said
to be satisfactory, some excellent towels
having been turned out Ramie grows
well on dry lands which will not even pro-
duce wheat; and if it can be manufactured
economically, it opens great industry,
as its use is increasing as a material to
unite with silk.
