The second annual election of the
Tecumseh bicycle club was held at that
city last week and Mr. A. James was
chosen president.
J. H. Kingsley, of Manchester, says
he has already more applications for
electric lights than he will be ahle to
furnish this summer.
An exchange is responsible for the
statement thatapublishw who "picked
up the trade," on making up forms for
the first time, got a marriaga and grocer's notice sandwitched so as lo read:
"John Smith and Miss Ida Qua were
united in the holy bonds of saurkraut
sold by the quart or barrel. Mr. Smith
is an esteemed young cod-fish at «nly
ten cents per pound, while the bride
has a great many berries for sale at
one shilling per bushel, Rev. Brown

Monday night after druggist Spencer
had retired, he was knocked out of bed
—that is, there was a rap at the door—
and responded in person. In fact there
was very little about him except his
person, his chief adornments being
hung up on the bed post. A young doctor was at the door and said he urgently
nesded medicine at the store. However he crowded in as did a company of
masked "burglars" fourteen strong,
composed of ladies and gentlemen—
neighbors. Then fled the druggist as
the shadow fleeth away, but soon with
his family reappeared, all clothed and
in their right minds and a season of
jolity ensued. This at Morenci.—Adrian

As to thanks Kitty, "don't mention
it."' We will simply say that we have
on hand 7a lbs. of spring poetry that
has never been used and a considerable
assortment of choice rhymes concerning the feathery fall of congealed aqua
pura which we will close out to you "at
prloes that defy competition." In fact
Kitty, if you will call and get it yourself you shall have it for nothing. We
had thought of sending it packed in a

we had as soon give it to you. If you
cannot call personally for it, will ship
it to your direction, consigned f. o. b.

name, either in this world or the next.

"THE ROCKY   MOUNTAIN   LIMITED," AND "THE BIG 5."
Two  Grand Trains Daily Between  the
World's Fair City and, the Fgotlnlls,,^*"'
The popularity of "The Great Rock
Island Route'' aa a Colorado line—it
having long time since taken first place
as the people's favorite between the
Lakes and the Mountains—ha* compelled the management to increase its
present splendid service by the addition
of a train that is one night on the road
from Chicago to Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo. This train will be
known as the "Rocky Mountain Limited," and will be put in service May-
first. Leaves Chicago daily at 10:45 a.
m., arriving at above cities in th«
afternoon of the next day, earlier than
any of its competitors. Especial equip-
ment.has been built for this train, with
the view of making it a limited in
every sense of the word, and best of all,
there will be no extra charge. The
route of this exceedingly fast train is
by the Rock Island Short Line,'' and a
few of. the large cities thrpugli whjch
ft passes', are D^ren/port, IJe|" Moines,
Gq'uncil Bluffs, Qmaha, Lincoln, Bea-
tric, Fairbury, Belleville, Phillipsburg,
Smith Centre, Colby and Goodland.
This makes it a most desirable route,
and particularly interesting to the
traveler. Another point: The popularity of our dining-car service is still
on the increase, and no money spared
to make this service what our patrons
always say, "the best."
Our "Big 5" will continue as usual,
leaving Chicago at 10 p. m., and arriving at Denver, Colorado Springs and
Pueblo the second morning, being but
one day out, and this fast and popular
train goes through Omaha.
Our So. 11 will leave as heretofore
at 6 p. m., arrive at Kansas City at 9 a.
ni., and will reach D,enver, Colorado

the trees.   Sqrely there was a fairness
and candor about  all of this which
rightly claims our respect and admiration.   Prom a long acquaintance with
Prof. Lintner, it is just what I should
bave expected.
I regret that I could not write you
earlier regarding our experiments in
this matter, which I am sure settle the
question beyond doubt; but you know,
how four months' absence from home
fairly swamps a man with work. This,
together with larger classes than usual,
have given me no time till now to consider the matter and write you the
facts.
Mr. Elwood's article shows that he,
one of our best-informed' apiarists, as
well as Dr. Lintner, feels that the matter is in an unsettled state, and pleads
for more experiments that we may
know tho exact truthin relation to this
important matter.
I am very happy to give you in advance the experiments which we have
made, that I am sure will convince all.
These are now in type, and will soon
appear in the Report of the Michigan.

no need that any pfchey station should

drugstores added in the same proportions that we use it for spraying.   In
every  case  the bees were poisoned.
Yet they did not die at once; indeed,
they  lived  many times  longer than
would be necessary to carry the poisonous liquid to the hires and store it
there.   This explains why the brood is
also poisoned.   As these people wrote
to me of their losses—quite a number
have done so, and from at least three
states—I had no doubt that the spraying at the wrong season was the cause.
1.   The poison would do it, as I h,ad re;

That some one has sprayed
s trees while in bloom, and yet no
were known to be lost, would derive an entomologist "who was not an
apiarist; but a bee-keeper would know
,bat the spring is often so cold that the
owers secrete almost no nectar, and
be bees are often unable to fly at all.
While, then, in many cases, spraying
the trees while in bloom would cause
 yet in another case when the
weallir was mild so that nectar was
abundant, and the bees out in force,the
loss would be most serious. I presume
this explains the report from the entomologists at the meeting in Washing-
n.
poisoning bees.
The standard mixture—1 lb. of either
London purple or Paris green to 200
allons of water—is fatal to the honey-
This makes it imperative that
uit-trees  be  not  sprayed  while in
lossom.   It may be done just before
at any time afterward, but never
ring the time of bloom.
'he above, written last October for
Report for 1891, settles the matter
Ibsitively.   When we add, that during
loom is not the time to spray; that
for bud-moths and fungi it should be
done earlier, and for the codling moth
later—not till the blossoms have fallen
from all the apple-trees—we thus see
there is no possible excuse for spraying
while the trees are in bloom;  while
there are very important reasons,as iw
have just seen,   why no one should
spray while the blossoms are still on
the tree.
It has seemed to me, -Mid I am now
stronger in the faith than ever, thai
every state should pass a law making it
a serious misdemeanor to spray our
fruit trees while in blossom. I do not
think such a law need to be used much,
if ever; but as an educator it would do
signal service. It would act as our
foul-brood and yellows laws have.
When men find that there is a law
against any proposed course of- action,
they will almost always hesitate before
they act. In a case like this, when;
there is no cause for wrong action, but.
every reason for doing that which wiU
work no one ill, but the most good lo
all, then, surely if a legislation act will
have influence it should be urged by
all, whether directly interested or not.
Is it not wise for every bee keeper to
agitate this matter, that the publi--
may be educated at least, and that such
legislation may be secured as -will aid
to prevent any spraying during tho
time "that the 1 r-uit-trees are in blossom V
