 The New England Homestead of August 13 has an article on Beating the Railroad Worm." which would seem to be of interest to those of our townspeople who are owners of apple trees and who enjoy apples that are worth eating. The writer is V. Q O'Kane of the N H experiment. stR- tion aud the subject is treated in 8 clear and comprehensive manner, showing not only the cause of the railroaded" apples. with which we are all familiar. but also explaining the only methods that have yet been discovered to rid us of the pest which causes so many of our apples to be worse than useless
 Last week the Sunday school picnic was postponed to Wednesday on ao- count of the weather. Wednesday proved to be one of the finest days of the season, and a good number of all ages gathered in the grove on Meeting House hill to enjoy a social time. Some of the Mashapaug people were unable to attend beoause of the lack of transpor tation facilities, but Rock Meadow was very we'll represented. Although there ia no chance for boat ing, as at Mashapaug, old Meeting House hill has many advantages as a picnic ground. It is centrally located, and so easy to reach from all parts of the town, there Is an abundance of delightful shade, the church sheds are near by for the shelter of teams. the settees from the town hall are con- venient and comfortable, and the town hall itself affords a good shelter in case of sudden shower.
