: Mr.. Andrew Hushabeck is now
gathering his Sharpless strawberries
and they are exceedingly fine. This
is large berry and Of delicate flavor.
Mr.. Hushabeck is very successful
with fruits and vegetables of all
kinds. The crop of strawberries is
good in this section and the warmth
of the last few days has caused them
to ripen very fast.
Rev. Mr.. Louderbough, formerly

N. j., will preach in the Presbyterian |

Davis Bros, the dealers in agri-
cultural implements, have just finish
ed the erection of handsome wind
mill for Mr.. 81. A. Nowland. This
windmill is one of the best in the
market and among all those erected
by this firm not one has failed to give
satisfaction they are substantially
erected and all plumbing necessary
is done by expert workmen. It is as
easy to have water in your house or
any Of your buildings in the country
as it is in the city, and no one who
has once secured this very great con-
venience would be willing to go back
to the primitive method of securing
water by hand-power.
Mr.. Il. A. Nowland has a beauti-
full field Of Fulcaster wheat which is
now in full head and promises very
heavy yield. On the entire forty-one
acres there is not visible one square
yard on which small or diseased
wheat is growing; it is level and very
thick on the ground, and at this time
presents q beautiful appearance. The
Fulcaster wheat seems to do well in
this section and many heavy crops Of
it have been raised since its introduc-
ton here. To estimate Mr.. Now
lands crop on this field at thirty-five
bushels per acre would not be too
high, judging from the present out
look. This wheat was sown early in
October and was fertilized with a
phosphate known as Nowland's
mixture.
