May 4th. Mra. Gardner-" What do
you think of the weather this spring ?
After awhile we won't he able to raise
anything. Just think, iiereit is past the
first of May, and I have not started to
make my garden."
Mr. Gardner "Why, what have you
been doing? We had some very line
weather from (he 7th to the 20th of
April. 1 took advantage of it and planted
my onions, lettuce and peas."
Mra. G. "Yes, you may think that it
is alt right to have your garden planted
under six inches of snow, but I would
rather hove my seed out of the ground
until the weather gets warm."
Mr. G. "I am glad that we do not
all act and think alike ; but I want to
toll you that onions, lettuce and peas,
germinated at a low temperature, just
as soon as the snow is gone, will thrive,
if the soil is adapted to their culture."
Mrs. G. Yes ; but 1 will have lettuce,
onions and peas just as soon as you will.
When the weather is warm they will
germinate faster."
Mr. G. "That may be true about
germinating quicker in hot weather, but
I want to say that if you have not plant
ed your onions, lettucq and peas, you
will beat me with pea vines, onion tops
and lettuce leaves, but I shall beat you
with onions, heads of lettuce and bask
ets of peas."
Mrs. G. "I am going by what other
people say, and, as a rule, the majority
ought to know."
Mr. G. "If you think that you are
right by what the majority say about
this question, stick to it, but excuse
me, 1 will remain with the minority
and stand by my own practical exper
ience." William Gumper, who has been work
ing at Werner's store for some time,
has moved to Honesdale to go in busi
ness for himself. Regardless of Will's
qualifications as a business man, the
ladies say he was a clever, sociable,
jolly good fellcw.
Shal v go to South Africa to hunt,
or shall w indulge in thesport at White
Mills? One of our citizens went to
.Brown's store and purchased a box of
shells. Iff stated to the store keeper
that there were bears in his henhouse.
The storekeeper being a great hunter,
put some shells in his pocket, grabbed
his gun and away they went up the hill
in a hurry, neither one having breath
enough to utter asingle word. On reach
ing the spot, the man stationed the store
keeper on the corner of the hen house
in case he should miss the bears and
standing at the runway would then be
in close touch to fetch him down. The
man coming from the hen house said,
"There they arc on the side of the barn,"
and at the same time shooting at the
barn. The store-keeper shaking with
freight said, "I don't see any bears."
"Well," ho said, "Look on the hill and
see those white deer," and at the same
time shooting in that direction, by this
time the storekeeper commenced to
think that he would be safer in the
jungles of South Africa hunting bears
with our ex-president, than with a man
who had a whole menagerie. The only
damage that was done, was done to a
clothes line. It is up to our pure food
laws to find out what the distilleries are
using to change snakes' into bears and
deer.
