therein we would feed all the stock, SO

We have just completed close and
critical examination of the $500 apple
trees in the orchard, looking for borers.
We found 300 trees in which the borers
were at work, and the little pests were
dug out and destroyed. Had this work
been neglected there were 300 trees
which inside of five years would have
either died or been broken Off by the

of the apple tree and the one thing
which must be most closely looked aft

ts feared all have persisted The schoon-
er Aloha, one of the consorts which the
Hebard had in tow. broke away in Lake
Superior and has not been heard from
since. When last sighted she was labor
ing heavily in the trough of the sea.
Little hope is entertained for her safety.
The schooners Warrington and Fran
comb. tie other vessels of the tow, ran
before the gale after breaking away
from the steamer and finally succeeded
in reaching an anchorage at Copper

West Superior and were bound for Lake

or were set adrift soon afterWard. Be-
fore daylight Sunday morning the Fran
comb reached Copper Mine Point, at the
east end of the lake. When day dawned
the wreck of the Hebard was seen on
the shore, with only the SmokeStack and
pilot house sticking out of the water.
, but by g. 80 everything had disappeared
and the ship and cargo were being
Strewn along the beach by the breakers.
AS the shore at that point is very
rugged and rocky it is feared that even
If the crew had attempted to leave the
steamer when she struck their boat
must have been dashed to pieces.

brought here by the steamer Ossifrage,
which arrived from Michipocoten. Mrs.
