On Tuesday, October 24th, the Sayler Milling Co. did the largest wheat business in the history of the mill. They received over 300 bushels of wheat. This is certainly a good showing for one dav. The lecture at the Presbyterian church last Tuesday evening by Mrs. Newton, a missionary from Allahabad, India, was very interesting and entertaining to those who had the pleasure of hearing her.

James Lester has just finished a well for David Michaels, inJordan township, which is undoubtedly one of the strongestthat has ever been completed in this county. It is a three inch well, but Mr. -Lester says it could easily fill a ten inch casing as it is an unusually strong vein. There never was a time when “tramps” were as numerous as at the present. Men who are well dressed and having a good appearance are often found asking alms. Thousands of men are unable to find employment in the larger cities, and those who have good jobs are “freezing” to them.

We have an interesting communication on “Dairying,” for next week, which should be read by eveay person interested in this kind of work. There is nothing, in our estimation, that pays the farmer so well as this, and more interest should be taken by them in it, in order to get it to a high state of perfection. *

A good many farmers in Northern Indiana are investigating the cause of the failures of the apple crop so frequent of late years. An old fruit raiser in Elkhart county thinks he has discovered a remedy, whether the cause is exactly apparent or not. He has been experimenting with tree spraying this season and is enthusistic over the results. From one small tree that he sprayed he picked eight bushels of tine winter apples. On other trees that he did not spray, there was no fruit. To make the test more satisfactory he sprayed only some of the limbs on a tree, and the result is that on that part of the tree sprayed, apples were plenty, while on the portions that he did not spray, there was an entire absence of fruit.—Monticello Herald.
