COUNTRY PRODUCE
Eggs in Brisk Demand-Butter Market
 Dull-PeacheS

The produce merchants of Morris avenue report a comparatively quiet market this week. The appearance of home grown vegetables has caused a falling off in cer- tain lines of shipped goods. New potatoes from Louisiana are still in good demand at $1.15 per sack.
 Georgia peaches received here have been of inferior quality-mostly culls. Ripe peaches are bringing $1.5O per crate but very few have come up to that value The ruling price for inferior peaches has been from 75c. to $1.
 There has been an active demand for bananas at $125 per bunch. The receipts during the past few days have been large, but they were readily disposed of
 The butter market is extremely dull but eggs are in brisk demand at an advance of one and a half cent over last weeks quo tationS.

THIEVES AGAIN.

There is another visitation of house thieves in the town. It is time to get ready for them. Any man who enters a house to steal is prepared to do mur- der There is but one way to meet these villains, and that is with a pistol. No man should sleep in a room with out a pistol at hand ready to use.
 It is impossible for our police force to guard the residence portion of the city. If the force were twice as large that would not be expected. So in re- ality we are expected to guard our own homes and loved ones and to look after our property with our own strong arms.
 We are good citizens when we shoot burglar; we fail in our duty to our neighbors when we allow one to es- cape. The pistol in the house is the only protection against the horde of villains who SCOUT the country for plunder.-Editorial from The Ledger.

destruction uf wolves. which cause
more lOss tn cattle raiscrs annually
than any other single pest.
The suggestion of DR.. Knowles Is
to procure an appropriation from
the legislature to pay for the digging
out OF wolf pups In the spring aud to
inoculate the pups with dog dis.
temper and mango and then turn
them loose. Wolves are known to be
peculiarly susceptible to these dis
eases, md II "A large number Of pups
were turned loose bearing the infec-
tlOn they would spread it all over the
country and would kill off the pests
much quicker than IL could be done
by any other means, he believes.
To the suggestion that the sheep
dogs might get the distemper, DR..

inOculated against it ut n cost OF 80
cents ench, and ii was also asserted
that Digs do not come into close

to offer the same suggestion relating
to the inurulatiunot wolf pups tuthc

San Jose Scale.

State Entomologst Willis G. Johnson,
Of the Maryland Agricultural College, in
speaking of the fall treatment of trees for
the San Jose scale, makes the following
recommen dations fer immediate action:
All badly infested trees, of whatever varl-
ETY., should be grubbed out without delay.
Pile the brush and wood where the tree
stood, but do not burn it until next May
or June. This is done to preserve the lit
tie parasites that feed upon the scale. II
they are not destroyed these little friends
can concentrate their attacks upon other
moderately infested trees near by. The
scale cannot leave a branch or twig to
which it is attached; therefore, when the
tree is cut down all the insects die with
the drying out of the sap, while the para
sites escape and fly to other trees. Spray
all suspicious trees with 10 per cent.
mixture eff kerosene and water before the
leaves fall and while the pest is still active
and breeding. The scale will continue to
breed until cold weather. Do the work
thoroughly and see that you touch every
part of the tree, as the spray kills by con-
tact only. Select calm sunny day for
the spraying. Mechanically mix the kero-
sene and water in right proportion. Late
this fall, after the foliage is falling off,
whale oil soap at the rate of two pounds
to gallon of water can be used on pear
and apple trees, but it is not recommended
for peach and plum trees.
