wor.. rnan tn. Goblin me,h.

One OF the worst pests that apple
growers OF the east have fight is the
railroad worm. called also the pulp
worm. and the apple msgsot. 1t 10
worse than the Goblin moth which can
be controlled by spraying. whereas
spraying has no effect on the RAILROAD
worm. The latter is the cause OF tho
pulpy. punky condition OF the apples -
we sometimes find them in tbs barrel
fruit from the east. The eggs are
laid just under the skin OF the apple by
a small fiy. This fly beRins work in
June and keeps i up pretty much all
summer. SO that there may be worms Of
all ages in the apple. 1t has . strong
preference for sweet apples and prscti-
eally ruined the crop Of Talmans Last
year. Still il works all varieties. sour

The Winfield Branch.

A Pittsburg paper says that the Win
field branch has been leased to some
capitalists of that City, who have or
ganized to operate it, with Frederick
w Mckee, as president; W. E. Carn-
ahan, vice president; Sion B. Smith
secretary and treasurer and D. S. Beelel
manager. This company has now val
liable limestone mines along the Win
field branch road, and the present ont
put averages about 25 cars day. Re
Gently larger holdings have been obtain
ed so that the company now has 1.4OC
acres of land, rich in coal, limestone,
sand and natural gas. 1t is now plan
ned to develope this territory as rapid
" as possible, and to build up the town
of West Winfield In order to do this
it was thought best to have control of
the branch railroad, and a few weeks
ago it was leased from the Penn
sylv ania with the privilege of running
trains over the Pennyslvania's tracks to
Butler junction. The new company
has bought its own engines and pas
senger cars and will RUIZ two trains a
day each way from West Winfield to
Butler Junction. This will also open
up a new passenger service, for until
the present time the branch has never
had passenger trains.
The Winfield company has another
project in view, which is to be taken up
next summer. 1t is the building of a
summer hotel and pleasure resort at
Winfield. The road follows Buffalo
creek, which is most picturesque, hav-
ing many ideal spots for big summer
resort within less than two hours ride
from Pittsburg 1t had been intended
to run trains on the line, starting last
Monday, but the opening has been post
pOned for a week

Under the constitution counties with
over '100 600 inhabitants must be dis
tricted for Legislative purposes. Cambria,
Westmoreland and York are now in
this class. In counties with over a
population Of 150,00 separate Orphans
courts must be established and the
county officers must be paid by salary
and not by fees, provisions which now
apply to Westmoreland, Lancaster,
Lackawanna and Berks, The latter
county, however, has already a separate
Orphans court, the Legislature having
power to establish such courts at its
discretion. Somerset is the only coun-
ty entitled to its own Common Pleas
judge, owing to an increase over the
10000 limit. Bedford. which now forms
a judicial district with Somerset, lacks
532 of having enough population tc
give it a judge, and Warren now join
ed to Forest, falls 1,054 short.
