THE GRAVE ON THE HILLTOP.

1t stood on the very summit of the
! hill a little, lonely, neglected grave
| A weather beaten, wooden headstone'
whose name and date, if they ever bore
| one had long since been obliterated by
| the elements, marked the spot, while
the whole was inclosed by a rusty iron
fence fast falling into decay.
| But if man had long since ceased to
think or care for the little grave, nature
had been more kindly. AT all times and
in all seasons she remembered it.
In the spring the overshadowing trees
put forth their fresh, green leaves, the
birds returned from the South and
built their nests in their leafy branches;
here, too. they taught their young to
fly. Sometimes the baby birds, all un-
used to their feeble wings, would fall
prone upon the grave beneath, but the
quiet sleeper never disturbed them.
There were flowers, too, on the little
grave in the spring time, bright-hued
anemones and big golden poppies, ma
lures kindly compensation for mans
neglect BY and by the sun veered
around in his course and sent his hot,
scorching rays directly upon the brown.
wild flowers dropped their tender heads.
the moss became scared, while
the whole earth quivered and palpitated
under his ardent caresses. But each
night the heat abated, the sun sunk
slowly, slowly, until it seemed to rest up
on the very topmost peak of the far
away mountains before bidding the
world good night" Then the gold
changed to deepest orange and yellow,
the sky and the distant waters were so
tinged with its last ruddy glow that
they resembled FURNISHED bronze; from
yellow the color changed to intensest
red. from red to purple and from purple
to a million Kaleidoscope opalescent
hues. This in turn gave place to
shimmery, silvery veil out of which
the moon shone and the stars twinkled.
Far away in the valley tiny lights ap-
peared in each of the houses. The moon
beams filtered through the leafy
branches of the trees and fell in weird
fantastic patterns on the grave.
AS the earth moved on it's axis another
change took place and autumn was
abroad in the land. The sun shone as
brightly as of yore but his rays had lost
their power. AT night the frost king and
his entire retinue came forth and played
at hide and seek in the trees, and 10!
each leaf was turned to richest red and
yellow. Then he waved his magic wand
and presto! each tiny blade of grass
was instantly armed with a glistening
spear of sparkling silver!
Finally even the day of the Frost
King was at an end and winter with his
chilling blasts and fierce storms held
the earth in subsection. The wind moan
ed a requiem through the naked
branches of the trees, snow and sleet
fell unremittingly. The headstone on
the lonely grave was buried deep in it's
chill embrace Icicles twined themselves

Spraying Against Insect and Fun
0ous Pests.


There seems to be an impression
somewhat common abroad that the
laws and regulations regarding IN
sect pests injurious to the fruit In
terests of the state have been abrO'
gated, or that they are not now In
force because of certain changes
made in the statute by our last leg
islature. This, however is q mis-
take. No change was made In the
general law governing these regu-
lations. Any owner Of an orchard
or fruit trees infested with noxious
insects may be compelled by intor'
nation or complaint before JUS
tice of the peace to abate such nul'
sance, and upon failure so to do
subjects himself to a fine OF $50 or
moro. And any dealer in fruits
handling or offering for sale any
fruit SO infested subjects himself to
the same penalty. The presence OF
he worst of the pests becomes the
aost widespread by reason of their
dissemination through the ship
nsnts of fruit from districts often
thousands of miles distant, and the
greatest damage often results from
The oarelessness, and sometimes
,hs defiance Of the law on the part
of many dealers in this respect
And as y strict compliance with the
law works no hardship with the
dealer, as he simply requires to re-
frain from the sale of such infested
fruit, there is but small excuse on
his part for noncompliance there
with.
1t is somewhat different, how
sver, with the orchard owner. Con-
tinuod careful watchfulness and
more or less expense is needed on
his part to ensure that his fruit
trees are kept comparatively free
from such insect depredstions. Yet
self-interest, in 3 large measure,
should cause those having fruit
trees to annually spray them or by
other means prevent the increase
and spread of these pests who are
the robbers and destroyers of any
profitable fruit production. Many
think that they cannot afford the
ofspraying their trees. But
really, if they make the slightest
calculation, they will find that they
cannot afford not to do so in most
cases. Now that very good prac-
ticable hand spray pump can be
purchased for $3.50, and very eff
isct!ye spray solutions cost but
few cents per tree sprayed, and that
time is often a waste product large
lY with many, it can easily be
shown that the fruit trees under
ones care will pay very largely for
such treatment rs will rid them of
the insect and dangerous pests with
which they are 30 often infested.
Just at the present time the green
aphis or louise infesting the apple
trees are Matching out, and can
very easily be destroyed by any
simple summer solution. The
Young Of the woolly aphis, and Of
the different scale insects where
these prevail, can also be the most
easily reached and killed now by
these sprays. The different form
ulas for them, and also how to pre-
vent dSmage from fungous diseases
are generally we'll known. Printed
cjrculscs containing them will be
sent on application by postal card
or letter TO. the subscriber. J. F.
