1. Hurff Weatherby, beside his other
farming operations. is going into the fruit
business quite extensively. He is putting
out this spring $500 plum and cherry
trees, n three acres of blackberries.
Last year he planted several acres in peas,
and other small fruits raspberries, straw
berries and gooseberries, %currants, etc.
lie expects to have 35 acres in fruit.
A fish hawk furnished a dainty meal
for |. HI. Weatherby and family a few
evenings since. His hawkship went fish.
ing in Racooon creek and being a skilled
diver he soon brought up a large gold fish
will which he flew to a tree. Mr..
Weatherby happening along, discovered
the bird, and procuring his gun soon
dropped the hawk into the creek, but the
fish fell on the bank and was served up
for supper later on.
Quite an interesting debate took place
in one of our stores recently, where
several farmers had congregated. The
question was whether the potato sprouts
from the eye or the heart. Nearly all
present were sure that the sprout starts
from the eye, while Andrew Hendricksou
was equally sure that the sprout starts
from the heart, and to prove his position
pared all the skin from several potatoes
and carefully cut out the eyes; he then
planted them in a box in the house, and
in. due process of time his potatoes
sprouted and came up looking strong and
healthy, and were then planted In the
garden. We believe that as one of the
results of Mr.. Hendrickson's successful
experiment he is the owner of a new hat.
1t will be an agreeable surprise to
persons subject to attacks of bilious collie
to learn that prompt relief may be had by
taking Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrh@a Remedy. In many instances
the attack may be prevented by taking
this remedy as soon as the first symptoms
OF the disease appear. 90 and SO cent
