There were several men at work maui

The Grand Trunk has abolished the
stores department and the accumulation
OF great boards Of supplies at variou;
points. In the future monthly requisi.
tons will be sent in by foremen and
heads of departments, and the goods
purchased by the purchasing agents from
the various merchants and producers all
over the country, cash being paid. The
merchandise will be sent direct TO the
place where il is required. The railway
no longer has large sums OF money tied
up and invested in stores and lying idle,
in some cases for years, in some OF the
central stores. The merchants and pro,
ducers Of the country become store
keepers for the railway, which avoids
the risks and expenses attendant upon
carving heavy stocks. Another ad'
vantage, and very important one, IL
the manner in which the traffic depart,
ment is affected by the reform. Hitherto
when goods were shipped from the GEN.
trail stores TO any part OF the division the
expense of carrying the goods fell upon
the railway itself. Under the new sys.
TEN the purchasing agents will deal with
the merchants as individuals. 1t Is
claimed that 30 per cent OF the former
leaks in the railroad affairs were due TO
the stores department. All OF this will
now be cut of.

AFTERNOON.
GAiR AT ERYE6URG.

The forty-sixth annual exhibition OF
the West Oxford Agricultural Society
opens on Tuesday Of this week. The So
ciety has made many Improvements the
past year. The track has been put In
first-class condition and is one of the
best, il not the best half-mile course In
the state. Every class in the races is
filed and good trotting is assured. IL
bids fair to be the best show with the
best races ever seen on the grounds. The
show of stock promises to be large and
| of good quality.

OBSERVATIONS.

Editor Democrat:
For few years have sprayed my
few apple trees with Paris green twice
as near the regulation time as my judg
ment would determine. Well, Il
amounted to nothing, on early varieties
as they were all affected by the maggot
the same as my neighbours.
Last spring commenced In earnest
Sprayed six times, hung vessels Of
sweetened water on the branches, caugh,
large quantities Of millers, bugs, etc
NV Porters are no better than those Of
my neighbors who did nothing, hence
my labor appears to be lost. or course
they are not affected as previously. A
tree with very few Of the Garder
Royal variety, not sprayed, was badly
affected.
Last spring planted two rows OF pc
tatoes side by side. One variety, Early
Vermont, pink potato, the other
Clark's No. l, white. On digging, oc
casionally | would find hill Of white
potatoes, but nearly all were OF the
pink color. The rows were about twenty
rods long.
have had potatoes change form In
one season. OeIOTe tnls, 50 tucy Wouiu w
considered another variety, but do moi
recall an instance where the color has
changed.
Some years ago observed a young
apple tree, well laden with fruit about
one-half grown, commence to wither and
fade. On examination found between
the bark and the wood, something OF
caterpillar form, little longer than the
caterpillar, Of lightish gray color. dill.
gently at work eating the tender wood
or silver. They had fully encircled the
tree. so that 1t died. On looking further
found more, but as the work of de.
struction had not been complete
managed to save them. | have small
Astrachan which shows signs OF tn,
same pest, but not quite encircled. II
is quick work with this pest, and 1t i
fortunate that it is not common.
In November, just before the ground
closes, or in early spring as soon as the
ground opens, look just below the sur
face for those large borers that have es-
capped you, and you will find them, sure.
