Notes of Interest From a Pretty
Town in SunOma County.

Editor Morning cal: The storm has
been something Of surprise. The weather
seemed to be clearing off Tuesday, with oc-
casional showers, ard Wednesday daWned
bright. clear and cold. There was every
reason to believe for these not YEA her-WlSe
that the rain was over. l. was Gleap-
pointmcnt to wake up, on Thursday morn
ing to see the leaden sky ard note the fall
ing barometer. 1t raincd hard and almost
increasingly for nearly two days and Two
nights. But to-day we have the warm, sun
shine again; but, alas! we fear another rain
il in store for us; we cannot hope that this
will last.
The fruit men all flushed their work Of
SPRAYING their orchards in good season.
While this vicinity has not been greatly
troubled with fruit pests, the hortculturist
finds spraying q necessary part OF their
work TO. insure good healthy tees. As one
remarked recently, "Ih some respects it is
a good thing we have this to do, for it causes
us 10 watch our orchards more carefully and
with greater interest" Careless labor IL
orchards always proves to be source OF
| heavy peculiarly loss a spray pump /,
now considered as Indispensable as ploW
or the pruning shears; but the expense OF
! spraying each trte is very slight and the
! benefit is lncalcuable.
