Savlnf Fruit From Proit.
The very pleasant, balmy weath
er that we have had during the last
few days, following a long season
of unusual cold, is causing some
uneasiness among Pennsylvania
farmers and fruit growers, lest
under the influence of sunny days
for a considerable period, buds
may develop, only to be killed by
frosts later in the spring as f reez
unr weather often comes in this
climate when the season is farth
er advanced than it is now.
This fact lends timely interest
to a little illustrated pamphlet
issued by the Oregon Short line
Railroad Company, telling the
fruit growers along its lines now
to protect their fruit crops from
early Spring frosts.
As fruit buds are often killed
by frost in Pennsylvania, the
question of the feasibility of pro
tectmg orchards from frost by
artificial heat, is as interesting
here as anywhere. When it is
remembered that estimatesbased
on careful investigation place the
annual loss by frosts to the fruit
growers of the United States' at
fifty per cent, the importance of
the experiments thus far made is
apparent.
Most that has been accomplish
ed has been within the last three
years in the Grand Valley, Colo
rado, where it is asserted that it
has been proved possible to main
tain a safe temperature in or
chards when the natural temper
ature is many degrees below the
freezing point and where a fruit
crop value at $2,000,000 was saved
and marketed when the records
show that the temperatures out
side of the orchards in various
places in the Valley were nine
teen and twenty degrees above
zero.
The method of orchard heating
recommended by the author of
the Oregon Short LineCompany's
pamphlet is by means of smudge
pots with crude coal oil as fuel
The total cost of heating a ten
acre orchard for eight nights by
means of smudge pots is estimat
ed at $510. This is for the first
year and includes the cost of 500
pots, two 1,200-gallon storage.
tanks, wagon tank and oil pump,
oil pails, torches, thermometers,
&c, and 2,400 gallons of crude oil.
But after the first year the cost
would be limited to the value of
the oil used and this it is estimat
ed would not amount to more
than one per cent, of the value of
the fruit saved.

Saved A Soldier's Life.
Facing death from shot and
shell in the civil war was more
agreeable to J. A. Stone, of Kemp,
Tex., than facing it from what
doctors said was consumption.
"I contracted a stubborn cold,"
he writes, "that developed a
cough, that stuck ta me in spite
of all remedies, for years. My
weight ran down to 130 pounds.
Then 1 began to use Dr. King's

came to Miss Catherine Smith on her
49th birthday, which took plaoe on the
26th ult., at her home in Belfast town
ship. . -
Catherine was busy superintending
the work of getting out posts for a
wire fence, when her home was invad
ed by sixty-five of her friends and rel
atives. Imagine her surprise as she
returned to the house, to find dinner
ready, and the many smiling faces
there to greet her.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Hess and son Blair, Mr. and
Mrs.' Samuel Mellott, Mr. and Mrs.

onzo Mellott; Guy Spade, and Ray
mond Plesslnger,
After dinner was served, which was
composed of the finest delicacies, of
which a king might wish to partake
such as chicken, beef, salads, cakes,
pies and puddings, and a variety of
good things, the time was taken up by
music and chatting and having a mer
ry good time. About 6 o'clock, all
took their departure for their respect
ive homes, each wishing for many
more such oocaslous. Catherine re
ceived many good useful presents, of
which she is very proud.. She also re
celved more than a hundred post cards
which she also prizes.
May we all meet again on more of
these occasions.
