Fredorick's Fruit Farm, The following is from the Apollo News-Record, published at Apollo, Armstrong county: Its worth while for any one, Interest. ed in prosperous and successful things, to visit the fruit farm of Rev. T. J Frederick, of Spring Church. For its size, there is nothing to exceed it in all one's travels: long lines of thrifty, vig- orvus peach trees with an abundance of long da.k green leaves and the most perfect and beautiful frait, ip surprising quantities and remarkably free from knot or fault of any kind; and this not only one year, but for a number of years in Tt shows that a victory can be gained ip any line of life when the right way is taken. Here is a demonstration farm of the highest order because this suc- cess is before the multitudes. Not by wealth nor by some peculiar methods, but in ways attainable by all who will read sud work and be deeply in. terested, leaving nothiog unknown or undone which may bring abut such results ; and it means an example for all kinds of farming; for it simply declares that the careless, idle, formal, half-hearted, uunskillfull, unscientific ways must be cast adrift and the better methods adopted aud carried out in deep and untiriog industry. This justly noted farm of Rev, Fred. erick with its charming picture of hardy well kept trees and luscious fruit, attended to with the care that a good mother gives to her babe, succession, interest, is the outcome of education; a well trained, cultivated mind, and good judgment | but even mors so the result of sbsesrb. ing interest, deep study, wide reading, thorough knowledge of an industry, and watchfulness that unceasing. It rebukes all failures, because, there in S.ATE GEANGE MELTING Committes Met at State College to Con. sult With Au'horities sus to En. tertalnment, The annual meeting of the Penn- sylvania State Grange will be held at State College, December 21st, to 24th, inclusive, Thess meetings are usually attended by from 1500 to 2000 people.

The casting away of a burning cigar stump is such a common occurrence for the smoker that he has little thought of what might be the consequences. He bscomes reckless by habit, but oc casionally—no doubt "much more frequently than is charged against him-—'he consequences are detriment. al to somes one's property. The smoker has no evil intentions, but the cigar stump will ignite ioflammable matter just as readily as the match of the incendiary, aud the fire it starts will destroy just as completely. The smoker should be thoughtful, careful when handling an agent so destruct ive, The above was suggested by an incident related to the writer that came nearly destroying the lumber and saw mill of B, D. Brisbin & Com- pany, aloog Indian Lane. A smoker passed that way, threw a cigar stump into the roadway like thousands of others have done, and passed on. He had gone but a short distance, when a cloud of smoke arose, which attract. ed his attention. He retraced hie steps, and al once began to battle with the flames, and finally succeeded in subduing the marching column of fire. Had he not observed the fire, or had he had less concern for his thoughtless act, great damage would bave been the result to the firm pam. ed. AA fs MA I ———— From Millhelin Journal, William N.
