INSPECTING THE PEACH TREES.

INSPECTING THE PEACH TREES.
 George c. Comstock, deputy for the inspection of peach trees, was in town on Saturday. He reports the crop in this town as very good and very few dis eased trees. He is acting under the new law passed at the last session of the Legislature. The powers of the deputy allow him to enter any place where peaches are grown, to examine them, and should he believe any to be infected with the yellows to order it destroyed. If the owner refuses to have the tree destroyed he shall not pay less than Sl0O or more than $500, no compensation to be allowed for the tree or diseased fruit.

We notice with much pleasure the rapid growth of the custom of the land owners in moving out their fences, even with people who do not keep their field fences we'll moved. It makes our road sides look neat, clean and thrifty leaves the impression upon travellers that it is not a run down and shiftless community. Also pains are generally generally taken to trim and leave any thing to grow that will make shade tree. This is all in obedience to a statute law, never enforced, but the thrifty look it gives, seems of sufficient weight to overcome the inertia of the lazy, we are happy to say.

The Golden Rod

lifts it's shining head between two seasons, waving a fond goodbye to summer while lowing proudly to maternal autumn earth. Standing as we do upon the threshold of another fall season, we're in a position to know your wants a little better than any other dry goods store and to more satisfactorily meet them b. cause we've been in the bu5i ness "nigh on to fifty year. Think of the successive Springs, Summers, Autumns , and Winters devoted to a continual study of your shop ping needs . This effort has not been without its reward, otherwise we would not be holding front rank in point of size and service. People stick to the store that sticks to them through thick and thin that deserves trade by earning it; that stoops to smallest wants as gracefully as to large ones ; that throws out the best bargain morscls on dry days and checks GUS toners umbrellas on wet days that makes the cost and condition of goods the basis of a E,rrd selling-price instead of sliding prices up or down according to a sup posed fatness or leanness of the customers purse. Such is the Big Store.

FARMERS, WAKE UP!

You that are milk producers, are you satisfied with the minimum price of one and one-quarter to one and one half cents per quart for milk, that has been paid by the different creameries here in Connecticut, this summer? am not satisfied. It will not pay for the labor and running expenses of the farm, leaving us without one dollar for the use of our farms. When the retail price of milk this summer has been from six to seven cehts per quart, it is all fol- ly to sell our milk at the minimum price of one and one-quarter to one and one half cents per quart for our milk. Many of our manufacturing industries combine to make their business successful. For example, take the rubber companies. They combine and make their own price for their goods. The farmers must do the same and make their own price for their milk. If they will only do it they will be the strongest organization on the earth. The whole world is dependant on the farmer, on what grows out of the earth. If elephant knew his strength he would not be mastered by one man. The farmers are not elephants. They are class of as intelligent and good com nonsense men as can be found in the land, and we know our strength and we are going to use it.-[ Wide Awake Farmer.
