Notice to Frua Growers Of Delta County.

GENTLEMEN:-That | may
carry out the orders of board of
county commissioners in trying
10 stamp out what few fruit pests
are in the county, ask your aid.
The limited time heretofore al
lotted TO inspection was not suf-
ficient TO locate all the pests and
by informing me OF existence of
any Obstructive insects either in
your own or your neighbor's or.
chard. you will confer a favor
upon all interested in fruit cult
ure.
1t is n mistaken idea TO try to
keep this information, it will be
discovered and the expense will
be fourfold. Let US join hands
now while the expense is com
paratively nothing and rid our
county of these pests that the
fair name OF our frui; may never
be blackened. With your coop
GRAFTON we can accomplish this;
without il we can not.
The law is very strict. any one
failing or refusing 20 rid his or
chard or any orchard in his
charge meaning renters of
any fruit pests, compels the in
spcctor to do so at the expense
of the owner or man in charge
and subject the negligent party
to n fine or Imprisonment tor
each offensc.
Our first efforts will be made
against the brown mites and |
earnestly request every orchard
list in the county to spray his
entire orchard with either the
lime sulphur and salt wash or
kerosene emulsion rs given be-
low. while the trees are dormant.
Either spray will destroy scale
insects, the eggs of the apple.
plum and pear aphis. brown
mite or red spider. This is not
compulsion where no insects ex-
list but a precautionary necessity
and | hope all will comply for
we do not know what we have.
But of all preventive measures
none are so affective rs clean
cultivation. This is the verdict
of all who know. And in the
few cases of Goblin moth il is
imperative. and | hereby mott
fy the owners and rentersof or
chards infested with the Goblin
moth that their orchards must
have clean cultivation from June
lst of the coming season, other
wise. | will have to clean them
ut their own expense and have
the party fined for each oTense.
The county commissioners
are wide awake to the necessity
and mean business. They have
ordered me to prosecute every
violation OF law and while there
is nc necessity of being prose
cu,ed and hope l shall not have
il TO do in a single case. am
under oath and bonds TO see that
the law is executed and shall
know neither friends nor enc
mics but will prosecute every
violation to the fullest extent.
Remember IL is not the writer

One bill is before the Maryland legis-
Iature. and others are in process Of IN
cubation, to authorize county commits
s;oaers TO put inmates Of the jails at

not only authorizes the employment Of

ways but empowers the commissioners
to hire them out to those who wan,

A Dog Dies of q Broken Heart.

Pat Carol, the old-time sport and
handler of fighting dogs and chickens
tells a story that may be true and may
not, says the Philadelphia Cal.
81 had a dog at Il time" said Pat
that had a favorite hold. He was the
winner of twenty-five fights and in ev'
cry instance he would grab tho left hinc
leg of his opponent and never lose hi,
hold until the dog was beaten. Hi
twenty-third fight, however, proved hi
Waterloo. / matched him agains
a dog hat / had never seen and wher
he was placed in the pit ! noticed h
had only three legs, being minus hi
left hind member.
81 dropped my dog aud encouraged
him and be Immediately went for hi
usual hold. He made two or three at
tempts to grab what was left of the les
and turned tail and came back towarC
me. l did what l could to encourage
him to go on with the fight, but ht
wouldn't bulge an inch and finally hi
jumped the pit and ran home.
"For three days l tried to get him
out of the house, but all he wanted Il
10 was to lie down and loan On tn,
fourth day he died and l engaged
veterinary surgeon to dissect him ant
he said the dog died of a broken heart
caused by my having matched hin
against dog that l had never seer anG
minus his left hind leg. The deception
was too great on the dog and I nevel
made another match after that until
had seen what l was up against"

Paper Cartridges Used i'm Civil War

New London Comm Day: A New
London man made an interesting dis.
covery the other day. While rummag-
ing in the garnet of his house he picked
up an old army knapsack carried by
his brother i'm the federal army in the
dark days of 81 to '65. He opened the
knapsack and found within quite a
number of wartime cartridges, which,
as all veterans know, are quite diff
ferent from those now in use. They
are paper cartridges, the end of which
had to be bitten off by the man in the
ranks before loading his musket. A
Day reporter showed the cartridges to
several army veterans, and their eyes
blazed at the sight. They acted like
they had just been introduced to an
old friend whom they had not seen for
many years. One of the eX-soldiers
said the commands for loading in the
days of the war were as follows:
Handle cartridge, tear cartridge,
charge cartridge, draw hammer, ram
cartridge, return hammer, prime, ready
aim, tie." At present the order is:
Load, ready, aim, fire" The paper
shell is a thing of the long ago and the
brass shell has taken its place, but it
makes an old vet feel young again to
get his hands on one of those old
timers, though as a rule the teeth of
the G.. A. r. man would hardly stand
biting the paper end off these late days.

a Monster Devil Fish

Portland Oregonian: The largest
and most notwithstanding octopus, or
devil fish, ever seer in Portland was
displayed in front of a fish market at
Third and Ankeny streets recently and
attracted much attention, being sur
rounded by a crowd all day. 1t is inn
possible accurately TO state the length
of the tentacles or arms of the monster,
as some were f]estooned on the hooks in
the vicinity of the one on which the
monster hung, while others were cooled
in the snow on the sidewalk. 1t was
evident that the reach of the tencles
would cover thirty or forty feet. The
sack shaped body could be distended
so as to hold Il good-sized boy, and the
thing, when alive and in good pas
ture,' probably weighed 100 to $50
pounds. At least these figures are an
average of the estimates made by the
crowd. The long tentacles were thick
ly covered with suckers from end to
end, those near the head-Shrunken
when the fish was killed being large
enough to V n silver dollar, and
probably when the fish was alive and
able to expand and contract them
would cover q disk between the size of
a muffin plate and a soup plate.
The crowd gathered around listened
with open mouths to the story of a fish
erman, who told them that the devil
fish had swamped and smashed n boat
and chased the crew ashore.
