 The yellows have appeared among peach trees this season and as peach culture has taken considerable import ance flu agriculture in Connecticut late ly, Secretary T. s. Gold, of the state board of agriculture. has made public a letter of Norman s. Platt, of Cheshire, an extensive peach grower, calling on all to cut down at once any affected trees as the only way to prevent ruin of the industry. Mrs Addie s. Hale, wife of J. Fl. Hale. who has large peach or chards, writes as pomona of the state grange calling on pomonas of the sub- ordinate granges to devote the 10th of this month to destroying all trees thus affected.

Five weeks in 8 Pit.

About the 23d of July, Platt Smith of fShekomeko, missed his famous hound, Ring, but thought he was off on long run and would return after while. Days went by and weeks went by. but no Ring showed up and Smith gave up all hopes of ever chasing another fox with his pet hound as leader. Finally the last of last week, workmen on the railroad near Shekomeko, heard the barking of dog. They heard it again the next day, and the next, and on Sun- day party started out to locate the bark. Over in Someone's back lot is the pit of an abandoned lead mine and it was there that the party came to focus. They were almost mortified to behold their old friend Ring down in the pit, and Ring was 50 glad to know that help had at last arrived that he fairly talked. The poor dog was soon rescued from his peril and he was in- deed a poor dog. There was not enough left of him to make photograph or we would have given you cut of him. Tbe pit is about 30 feet deep, sunken through rock. Bushes grow around and over the mouth of the pit and un- fortunate Ring probably ran headlong therein. He had climbed up from rock to rock to ledge within six feet of the surface h,,t op oooor,A .e .L. bushes growing over the mouth of the pit could not jump out. His head was sore and bruised from numerous whacks received by jumping against the bush es. Poor Ring is almost rival of Dr Tanner, for if he fell in on the 23rd of July and being rescued the 2Sth of August he must have lasted 89 days. :
