Orchard and Garden
What a joy it born of Spring,
When the birds tcgin to sing,
And you smell the apple-blossoms
In the orchard .down the lane.
After each rain stir the ground ;
once in ten clays whether it rains
or not.
Seeds can be tested in the house
with a pan of water and some
cloths, a"d this is cheaper and bet
ter than testing them in the garden.
Remember, the current and goose
berry worms can easily be killed by
spraying the bushes promptly with
one ounce of white hellebore dis
solved in three gallons of water.
If you have a patch of briers to
kill, don't undertake to dig tnem
out, but stt them on fire; then when
the young briers come up, let the
cattle and sheep pick them off.
This will effectually kill them in a
year or two.
Asparagus for market should be
properly bunched. To do this well
you will need one of the inexpensive
"bunchcrs" sold by seedsmen and
implement dealers. 'Tis a useful,
handy little implement. Do not
cut new beds set last year ; let the
plants grow this season.
Remedy for aphis or plant lice :
These tiny black, green or red in
sects are easily killed by using a
strong solution of tobacco in water.
Or kerosene emulsion, or whaleoil
soap solution. Apply remedy eaily,
when lice first liatch out and before
they are hidden by the curl of in
fested leaves.
Seed for late cabbage should be
sown early this month. A good
way is to sow the seed in a well
prepared seed-bed in rows twelve to
fourteen inches apart. It is much
easier to cultivate and protect the
young plants from insect enemies
in the seed-bed than when they are
scattered over the field where they
are to grow. Then, when large
enough, they can be stt on land
where spinach or some other early
crop has grown. May Jiarm Jour,

Drags Make Good Hoad3.
The simple device known as the
split-log road drag is working won
ders on the dirt roads of Lycoming
county. Since the trost has exuded
from the ground over ioo of these
drags were made and used on the
country roads by farmers and iby
Boards of Township Supervisors.
As a result of the campaign the
most glowing reports concerning
improved roads are being received.
The wide use of the split-log drag
is the result of the efforts of the
Good Roads Association of Lycom
ing county, organized last winter,
and under whose aggressive leader
ship a strong good roads sentiment
has been aroused.
The Good Roads Association, to
add still more ginger to the work,
offered prizes aggregating fiooo to
Township Boards of Supervisors
for the best roads built under the
operation of the drag. Fifteen
Boards of Supervisors have already
entered the contest. One township
has had eight drags at work. The
new scheme will not only vastly
improve roads, but will also be eco
nomical. Horseradish.
HoreeradUh grows bo easily that
i'ry few words are sufficient to ass
ist anyone to produce a crop. It
!oes best In soils that are rather
noist, but not wet, as that would
produce soft roots, while dry soil
jroducea woody roots.
In moKt gardens horseradish grows
n some distant corner with other
:ropa, from year to year, some of the
roots being taken. up for using and
the rest left to propagate.
Must Use The Knife
Said the Surgeon, bat Dr. David Kennedy's Fa
vorite Remedy was taken and the Knife Avoided.
The Union anil Advertmer of Rochester,
N. Y., recontly published the following in
Westing account f how William V. Adams
of 127 South Avcuue, that city, was saved
Jrom a painful operation by the usu of Dr.
David Eunuedy's Favorite Remedy,
Mr. Aditms said: "Three years ao I was
!aken with kidney dmeiiMo very badly; at
ametf I was completely prostratod j in fact,
was so bad that the day wus set for the doc
tors to porform un operation upon me. But
1 decided I would not suhmit. I had been
put in hot water baths, and, in fact, nearly
very means was tried to help me. Upon
the day set for the operation 1 commenced

DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE REMEDY
and from that moment began to gnln, and
it was not long before I wax entirely cured

Mountain, from the Delaware river
near Stroudsburg in .'Northampton
county to the river "Schuylkill In
then Berks, now Schuylkill county,
in which service I entered as sub
stitute for Jacob Reedy. Iu May,
1780, was appointed orderly ser
geant in Capt. Conrad Rather's
company, in which situation I serv
ed that season six months, as fol
lows: two months under Capt.
Rather; two months under Capt.
Deal; during this two months the
Indians made an attack upon our
blockhouse, at which engagement
some of the Indians were killed;
and two months under Capt.
Smeathers. During the winter it
was considered unnecessary to con
tinue the service. In May, 178 1,
the forces were reorganized at the
blockhouses, where I served four
months. In September of the same
year I entered the French service
in Philadelphia as wagoner, with
Capt. Gosho, wagon master, and
was attached to the hospital depart
ment; arrived at Yorktown, Vir
ginia, the last of September, about
three weeks before the surrender of
Lord Cornwallis. I remained with
the army in the neighborhood of
Yorktown until June, 178J, at
which time the French army left
Virginia for Boston, arrived at
Providence, State of Rhode Island
about November, remained there
until the first of February, 1783,
when the army marched to Boston,
and .embarked on board of their
fleet. I then returned to Philadel
phia, Pennsylvania, was discharged
and returned home after an absence
of about eighteen months. I was
born, says our family register ; July,
1763, near a place now called Hud
son, on the North River, in the
State. of New York. Have contin
ued to reside within Luzerne coun
ty from September, 1769, to the
present time, excepting five years
as before stated."
The first public road that led to
Fort Jenkins was located nearer the
river than the present one, and was
obliterated by the canal when the
present road took its place. The
Beach family built their log cabin
on the site of the canal at Fort
Jenkins just below the canal bridge
and it was from this cabin that
young Nathan Beach then less than
sixteen years of age joined Ensign
Tbornbury'a command to .fight the
Indians who had planned to decoy
the garrison out of the Fort by the
attack made upon the Rameys and
Farrows, settled at where the old
Ferry house stood on the bank of
the canal and which may have been
built by the Rameys who had erect
ed a saw mill on the creek which
enters the Susquehanna near Col
umbia Park. The mill was removed
by the building of the canal and
the last visit the writet made to the
place the remains of the dam and
race of this first saw mill were still
in existence. The saw mill stood
011 the site of the canal which wip
ed it out of existence. Visitors to
Columbia Park can find amusement
in looking up and tracing out the
dam and race ot this saw mill built
by the Rameys. If the writer had
the naming of the Columbia Park
he would have called it Ramey
Park in memory of those old hero
settlers who died on or near its site
in their struggles and encounters
with the Indians.
