The Mishawaka Enterprise says the mint on some of the marshes around that city is in a bad condition. Early frosts first laid the mint low, and the succeeding drouth prevented its starting up again. Some fields are as brown and bare as if swept by lire. Other fields do not look so badly, while the new mint which was set out after the frosts is looking well, although suffering for rain. An exchange says that here is something that every farmer should know. Sprinkle a little lime in your stock tank and not a particle of green scum will form on the water. When the lime loses its strength and a scum begins to form, which may be twice during the season, wash out the tank and repeat the dose. It is cheap, harmless and wholesome, keeps the water sweet and saves work. Mishawaka Enterprise: Grasshoppers have become so bad in porp that a meeting of a number of mint raisers was held in the eastern part of the township recently to organize fora systematic raid on the pests. The Woodward brothers, who have been practicing on various

spraying solutions for two years or i more, think they have now a dead-shot for the ’hoppers. The following from a western exchange may cause a few unfortunates to say “Amen.” “These bladderwheeled bicycles are diabolical devices of the demon of darkness. They are contrivances to trap the feet of the nn mrv and skin the nose of the inno-

uiiwhij cent; they are full of guile and deceit. When you think you have broken one to ride and have subdued its wild and satanic nature, behold, it bucketh you off in the road andteareth a great hole in your pants! Look not upon the bicycle when it bloweth upon its wheels, for at last it bucketh like a broncho and burteth you like thunder. Who hath skinned legs? Who hath ripped breeches? Who hath bloody noses? They that dally long with a diabo>bicycle.” .
