Stay on the Farm.


just now farmers are making no
money and every farmers boy wants
to get away from the farm and into
business, says the s. f. Chronicle.
AS result every occupation by which
any one can earn an honest living in
any way but by manual labor is over
crowded hundred deep. Meanwhile
the farms are losing the brain and
muscle which should improve them,
and pretty soon it will be apparent
that the best lands are being quietly
bought at very low prices by the
predetermined city men, who will
put into them their own brains and
other peoples muscle, and in the end
viii make an income, while those who
should be their owners are crying for
easy work which they cannot get.
The most comfortable man in the
world today is the farmer who does
not owe money. He has home.
which his son who has drifted to the
city probably has not nor ever will
have. He knows he shall have enough
to eat and wood to warm himself
wlthal, while his city son would not
be sure of either if his present lob
should fail him. There is COMPETE

stand ready to take your job at less
money than you get at the moment
your grip relaxes on it for moment.
There are, of course, exceptions.
The boy who is strong as an OK and
knows himself to be very smart may
safely take himself to the city and
very likely get rich. Most rich men
were country boys of that kind. Pos.

summer school Opens.


One of the best lectures at the Sum.
mer School at Wrights, was that OF
Prof. Bioletti of the State University.
He lectured on the causes of disease
in plants. By the number and variety
of the questions which the farmers fire.
quently asked they showed a wide
practical experience with plant dis.
eases and an eagerness to learn all they
could from the lecturer which would
assist them TO become good plant doc
tors. Prof. Bioletti said:
In brief, there are two general
classes Of disease in plants-parasitic
and non-parssitic or such as are caused
by adverse conditions. For practical
purposes a plant disease may be looked
upon as anything which Injuries the
market value of the product.
1t is usually the case that several
causes combine to injure the plant
where one acting alone would not
produce any appreoiable harm. Thus
the plant may be weakened by insult.
ficient drainage and an insect attack
upon them occur which the plant in
its weakened condition cannot resist.
The same thing may be observed in
the case of human beings, as where
typhoid fever caused by impure water
supply attacks town, and while max
ing frightful ravages among the peo-
pie in one part will secure no foothold
in another part where the inhabitants
have observed better sanitary rules and
are more clearly and healthy.
In the case of frost attack, it was
formerly thought that the injury con-
sisted only in the rupturing or break
ing of the plant cells, caused by the
expansion of the water in the plant
in freezing. But this is not the whole
of the matter. In the freezing process
water is distracted from the proto-
plasm in the cells and this changes its
chemical nature. Now, if the freezing
has not been too great and the plant
is thawed out gradually and not too
rapidly, this expressed water will be
reabsorbed and the protoplasm will
not be killed. This is the theory now
held of the efficacy of smudges. In
many cases. also, the greatest injury
is done after the frost is over-when
the mechanical injury to the tissue
allows the entrance Of bacteria, which
often kills the whole or part of the
tree.
Disastrous cases of sour sap have
recently occurred in Mendooino and
Sonoma counties from this cause. The
remedy is to prevent the invasion of
bacteria until the plant has repaired
the physical injury by removing the
frostbitten parts. Where this cannot
be done it has been proposed to spray
the plants with Bordeaux mixture or
some such fungicide.
The disease of black knot was dis
cussed at length by the lecturer and
farmers and the non parasitic disease
Of chlorosis, which is a condition of
the plant when it fails to produce the
ohlorophyll. The con-
dition of hunger and thirst in plants
and the causes which produce them
and the effects of sucking and boring
insects were explained.

BADLY BURNED.
The Infant Daughter of Prof. Geo. III. An
drews the Victim of a Serious
Accident.

At half-past nine o'clock last Saturday
morning Elizabeth Andrews, the sixteen
months old daughter of Professor An
drews, was seriously burned at the fam
lily residence. 1875 Forest street.
Elizabeth was sitting in front of a
CRATE in the back parlOr, and was hold
ing little broom in her hands. Mrs.
Clarke, a grandmother of the child, who
was taking care of the little girl, left the
room for only a moment.
When she returned she found the
child's clothes in flames. The broom
had evidently taken fire in the CRATE and
the flames had been carried to the little
girls dress. Mrs. Clarke seized, blank
ct and smOthered the flames, but not un-
til Elizabeth's head, shoulders, chest and
arms had been badly burned. DR.. Bunce
and DR.. Noble were summoned at once
and everything possible is being done for
the child.
At one o'clock DR.. Noble says that there
is very little hope of her recovery.

A NEW PROPRIETOR
TAKES POSSESSION OF THE
FIGURING MILL.
Mr.. j. II. Shelley, IA Practical Miller of
Many Years Experience Will Make
Things Hum. A Good Thing
ForWc llingtOn.

Mr.. j. II. Shelley purchased at public
auction on January 20, the flour mills
of this place. He locates here with the
view Of making Wellington his future
home, having brought Mrs. Shelley and
their four children, making their home
in the residence formerly occupied by
S. E. Wilcox, on Magyar street.
Mr.. Shelley is a miller of many years
experience, having followed the milling
business all his life, and for the past
seventeen years has been employed by
the best mills in Jersey city and Brooklyn.
We should consider ourselves fortunate
to have such man among US, and 1t Is
the unanimous wish of our business
men to aid MIR. Shelley in bringing back
to life the best and most beneficial in
dustry of our town. The reviving Of the
-four mill means a revival OF the business
of our town and the adjacent villages.
What an excellent condition of things it
would be to have as good a market for
the grain raised bv our farmers here, as
elsewhere, and receiving the market
price in cash before leaving the mill.
This is a matter that interests every cit
izen Of our township and certainly should
be appreciated by US.
New London feels the want of its mill
since it was destroyed by fire. They are
urging their mill man to rebuild, but
the conditions of things are such that
he hardly sees his way clear to invest so
much money in milling plant,
therefore the town must suffer and every
citizen OF New London, as we'll as the
business men, feel its loss, besides the
inconvenience to the farmers surround
ing the town.
II our people in Wellington and Vi
cinity will give Mr.. Shelley liberal
patronage, it can be question of but a
short time when our streets will again
assume their former activity, andt e
Of business activity again be seen among
all branches Of trade, as the farmers, by
marketing their grain here, willbuytheir
supplies for their use, Of our merchants
instead of buying largely elsewhere, as
they are doing to a considerable extent
now. ..... ...u...
Mr.. Shelley guarantees every pound Of
flour to be equal to that Of any other

ity over his. We will have an excellent
market to dispose Of our surplus grain,
but can also secure the best Of -four,
from home grown wheat at reasonable
prices.
We extend to Mr.. Shelley and family a
very cordial welcome and hope that his
coming among us will prove to be Of
mutual benefit, to his interests.and those
of town and vicinity.
