A Peculiar Pest.

Porcupines are destroying M. NJ
Bonham's 8 fruit trees on his ranch south
Of town, says the Long Creek Light.
Mr.. Bonham has about IS young trees
that are bearing nicely and has dis
covered that the porcIpines are raising
havoc with them by climbing the trees,
cutting off the fruit and tender twigs
and breaking off lots Of the larger limbs.
Mr. Bonham has devised scheme to
keep these destructive little animals out
Of the trees by placing joints Of stove
pipe around the trees at the ground
This il said to be working satisfactorily
as the porcupines are unable to pene-
trate tho stove pipe with their claws
and therefore cannot climb the trees.

WinneSheik County Fair.

Next Tuesday will be the first day
of the Winnesheik County Fair. The
management have been busy in getting
out their advertising matter and in
other ways pushing things to let the
people know that they expect to nave
good fair.
The list of attractions is superb.
The exhibition of the Keetcn family
will be worth the price of admission.
One year ago people were paying a
dollar for single admission to see
the great attraction known as the
cycle whirl.
Added to the above is the balloon
ascension by Prof Geo. Harmon of
Cora, Mo-, superb base ball, good
horse races, bicycle race, all free for
one admission to the fair ground. We
are assured that there will be a great
show of hogs and some good cattle.
What is now needed is that the
people of the surrounding county
help US ali they can to make the Fair
a success. A short vacation from
work will do them all good. A..visit
with their neighbors and the exchange
of ideas will stimulate them in their
laudable efforts to make better farms
and homes in what is now one of the
banner counties of Iowa. Everybody
come to the fair and have a good
time. Don't forget there is to be a
Short horn sale on the two last days
of the fair and that some good young
things will be offered.
The oates are Aug. 25-26-27 and
2Sth, and don't forget them.
