The wise tree owner, in fact ev- j ery man who desires to sec trees} kept well and the insect pest-j downed, should make, it his busi-1 ness to cut off the twigs bearirg the webs of moths. Almost every! park or even clump of trees has | some of the webs on the branches, j and the danger is that many of tliei webs may contain the brown tailed ' moth in its winter form. This moth has not been here \ et. but webs have been found in nursery stock imported ami it will cause great damage if it ever does get a hold. A peculiar accident happened on I the Susquehanna railroad, near 1 Ralston, one day last week and as a result two trainmen had narrow escapes from serious injury. A log train was coming down the incline when a log on a car next the ca boose, which stuck out over the edge of the track, struck a stump and was forced backward into the j caboose. There were two trainmen in the latter and the big piece of j lumber narrowly escaped striking 1 them. The one side of the caboose j was completely torn off. Aliens residing in this State will in the future pay their share »112 the cost of maintaining schools and charitable institutions, if a bill in-! troduced in the house becomes a law. This bill provides that every non-citizen male resident of the State over the age of 21 shall l»e assessed one dollar for school and one dollar for poor district uses. It is estimated that there are 50,000 aliens in the State.

But ■' very low became interested, and i those on a very small scale. Hut they said "You try it. Yon ex peri | mi nt and we will see how it comes iout." Well gentlemen 1 have ex perimented with it and find it all ; riv.■ 11- The quality is good and the " | keeping qualities cannot be surpass jed by any apple known. They bear >: every year and hang, on the trees. ,My trees commenced to bear the i next year after planting, and liavt borne every year since. 1 have had fresh apples in my cellar every day for the past six years, and some • times two crops at a time. The , fourth year from planting 1 raised four bushels and sold them for thret ( dollars per bushel. That year we had a heavy wind storm on .Septem ber ;!oand October Ist, which blew til my apples to the ground except the Missing Unit and Ben Davis. The leaves were blown off the Mi-s --ing Link trees but not an tipple was found on the ground after the storm. That year apples were a drug in j Wilkes K.rre and Scran ton markets lin the fall, in many cases not pay ling the expense-. I shipped eleven | barrels to a wholesale house in j Wiikes-l>arre and after two months j received a check for two dollars and fifty-six cents— not as much money as one bushel of the Missing Link brought. The next spring ap ! pies brought from one dollar to one I j dollar and fifty cents per bushel in j I the same markets, it i-? the tipple ! that keeps through the winter that i brings the price. In 1 DOT I had twenty-five bushels iof Missing Links. I sold them F. j 1 ). 1). lure at one dollar a bushel til! I j hut the culls. i'h"-e 1 kept and j when any person called at tiy house jl gave him u cull Missing Link |of l'.H)" crop, with the request' | that they sample it now, and 'every person who sampled them said they were g md. The 1 'st one 1 had 1 gave to two gentlemen on September loth, liiiis, with the., same; request. They .-aid they were all right and a geiod apple My other varieties of apples sold that, year 4)ii December l-.f. at fifty cents per bushel at the cellar. My crop of Mi-sing Link apples for ItMis was IS bushels. The dry weather caused all tipples to I'ul from the tree-two weeks before tin time to pick them. My tipples were all oil the trees b<fore Oct. Ist. The Miss ing Links hung to tie trees and I wer picked Oct. loth. The apple- I buyers were offering from fifteen j cents to thirty cents per bushel for j apples sixty cent- p. r one-hundred ! pounds, delivered to the car, which is about t\\ only-sewn ct lit per bush el for hand picked apples. My Miss j tug Link apples 1 putin my cell ar, | j and tun holding thein for the May I 1 and June market of 11)0!). The year | before 1 planted the Mi-sing Link 1 ! planted other long-keeping vareities ! that t.re not bearing yet. The Miss j j nig Link apple trees have produced ! ; apples enough to pay for the trees' j before the other trees have com-1 I menced to bear. The Hen Davis,' j the Uano, the Stark, the Kowels, i lanett are all long-keeping apples, j that will keep until Spring. The: Rollers .lanett is a good apple and a i j good bearer. It keeps until June' i out is very small which is against it.i ! There is no doubt that any any of! | you farmers who have applts that ' will keep until April or May will be! able to get from one dollar to one! | dollar and fifty cents per bushel for j them at that time. You farmers I have a home market in the Lacka-! : wanna an I Wyoming valleys, with j a half million consumers who are I lot producers, that wouid take all' | the apples thut you can itiise on your farms, if the delivery of them | were spread out over the whole J i twelve months in the year, instead | ; if being forced upon them in large | j quantities iu the fall. Hucksters! I commence scouring the country for' j apples the last of July, and continue! jas long as they can find an apple. I The only reason you are not visited! every day in the year by these men i jis that you have not planted and j ' rais 'd long keeping apples. Most | farmers have more summer and fall | apples than they can di. pose of at a ! fair price, but have no apples to put ion the market in April and May. i l T ler • ».|ioi Id la a flange her I'ant i lor •. : oiq-k»<ping apple , | and be prepared to furnish your cus tomers with .fresh apples everv day iu the year, the same as you do with your other produce.
