o, TRAINS GO LIDE
CORR LIS STATION

The accommodation east and a
pickup west on the Baltimore q Ohio
railroad had collision at Cornwall
lis Thursday morning.
The engines were damaged some
and the railroad track torn up con-
sitleral3ly. but. fortunately no one
was hurt, so far as can be learned.
The wreck caused delay of
trains and the accommodation ar
rived here two hours late, getting IN
Just at 12 o'clock.
Beyond the annoyance to passen-
gers and the slight injury done to
the engires of the two trains, the
damage is practically nothing.
IT was well that the trains were
running slowly, one getting ready
to 90 into the siding and the other
slowing down for the station, else
there would certainly have been loss
of life or great injury to trainmen.

FRUIT AND FLOWER NOTES

To stir the soil and break the crust
that forms after rain is one of the first
rules of successful gardening
Remove the blossom from newly set
strawberry plants.
Mulch bearing plantations of straw
berries with salt marsh hay or clean
straw. Mulching keeps down weeds,
conserves moisture and keeps the ber-
ries clean.
Hellebore will kill the worms On the
currant bushes, but should not be used
later than two weeks before picking
time.
For scurfy and oyster shell bark
louise on the apple spray with whale
oil soap-one pound to seven gallons
of water-or kerosene emulsion gen
orally the latter part of May or 1st of
June.
Spray the blackberries with bordeaux
for leaf spot when the leaves are half
grown and repeat in two or three
weeks if necessary.
Spray the currant early for anthrac-
nose and leaf spot Before the leaves
appear is best, followed by another
spraying when the leaves are unfolding
and every two or three weeks till the
fruit begins to ripen.

GROWING STRAWBERRIES.
An Ohio Man Tells of His Preference
For Commercial Purposes.

An Ohio Man Tells of His Preference
For Commercial Purposes.
When blossoms appear the first year
the fruit stems should be cut off or
pinched out. The first runners should
be allowed to grow-may not have any
second. AS rule, each parent plant
should be permitted to set eight plants,
which will make your rows about
eighteen inches in width. If ON steep
hillside or where you cannot get wheat
straw for mulching, sow oats between
the rows about Aug. 10 to Is. If the
ground is dry after killing frosts,
mulch; if not, wait until the first hard
freeze. Put more straw between the
rows than in them-just enough to hide
the plants-and then it is not necessary
to remove it the following spring.
Each individual has different meth
cd of handling the berries. A few
things must not be done-picking when
the berries are wet from dew or rain;
long exposure to the direct rays Of the
sun; pruning and short packages. Ber-
ries for home use or shipment must
be handled carefully, conscientiously.
Healthy plantations and those compar
atively free from weeds can very often
be worked over by first moving and
then burning the cured tops and mulch
and throwing the dirt away from the
rows of old plants until the row or
ridge left is about a foot in width
Then follow cultivation as with new
~ set plantation. We spray twice with
the bordeaux mixture, first when the
fruit buds appear, second when growth
has ceased in the fall. Our plantations
are healthy, and our yields have been
very high.-Fruit Grower.

A NOTABLE GRANGE.

HouIton of Maine Now Has Over $40
Members.
Houlton grange, No. 16, of Maine
claims the distinction of having the
largest subordinate grange in the
world. Wolcott of New York is close
second, with over 800 members. Houl-
ton grange was organized thirty years
ago by Deputy A. X. Walker of Hamp-
den grange, a pioneer in work of this
kind in the state of Maine. At that
time the state grange had not been or
ganized. Starting with twenty eight
members, of whom eight are alive at
the present day, five still belonging to
the Order, the number increased to
fifty -four. Some cooperation in buy
ing and selling was attempted in the
early days, which resulted satisfac-
torily for time, but, as it was by
card system, after awhile it was drop
ped.
After holding its own for awhile
the Houlton grange gradually lost
ground and even went so low as to
think of surrendering its charter. In

Hon. W. F. Hill, master of the Penn
sylvania state grange, has gone to
Rome to attend the international con-
gress of agriculture. He intends to Wis
it several countries while abroad and
learn the methods employed by the ma
tive farmers, to study economic condl-
lions and to enlarge his knowledge OF
agricultural affairs so that he will be
able to make it of greater helpfulness
to the members of the Order and to
farmers in general on his return. Mr..
Hill goes at his own expense, but as a
representative of the state grange of
Pennsylvania. He is one of the most
active grange workers and an interest
ing speaker. He is constantly on the
watch for opportunities to promote the
interest Of the farmers of his state. He
has been repeatedly elected to the state
mastership not of his own wish, but
because his friends insisted on his re-
naming at the head Of the Order In
that state.
