When applied to the woodwork, n either J 

 time nor the use of surface applications 

 is likely to correct the difficulty. 



The only way of which I am aware, 

 for correcting the trouble from the use 

 of coal-tar preparations on the pipes, is 

 to burn off the paint. Heating the pipes 

 with steam under pressure will help in 

 removing the creosote, but a long time 

 will be required and then the process 

 will not be complete. If the entire sur- 

 face of the pipes can be reached with a 

 gasoline torch, the paint can be removed 

 cheaply and effectually. Otherwise the 

 pipes should be taken out and passed 

 through the flames of a bonfire. 



USINGER'S UTtEEANCES. 



John and Robert Espy, of Brookville, 

 Pa., were out in the big woods to get a 

 shot at a deer. 



When I called at the Red Rock 

 Rosery, Bradford, Pa., there was a good 

 display of Christmas plants. The season 

 had been so successful that a banner 

 holiday trade was expected. 



Good azaleas were to be seen at the 

 store of G. Lawrence Graham, at Brad- 

 ford. There was a great scarcity of 

 these plants, especially the ones in a 

 salable condition. 



The advertising merits of the electric 

 fountain were expounded by M. M. Dye, 

 of Salamanca, N. Y. There is hardly a 

 person, he says, who does not stop to 

 watch it. There seems to be an irresisti- 

 ble attraction in anything that moves. 



A. H. Sharman, of Warren, Pa., had 

 his baskets of artificial goods ready 

 early, so that when the early shopper 

 went forth she found Mr. Sharman ready 

 for her with a good display of goods.

Gentlemen : Please send me 'lb record plates 

 like the enclossd sample, and I want to say tliat 

 the machine, bought a good many years back, 

 is keeping up its good work right along. I tiiink 

 it a very useful adjunct to good plant growing, 

 and it should be in every greenhouse, as refer- 

 ence to it may often tell what is wrong with a 

 batch of plants. Very truly yours, 



Albeut M. Hekr. 



The actuating element of the Standard Record- 

 ing Thermometer is of lamina melal, which, be- 

 sides being extreinel.v sensitive to temperature 

 changes, is practically indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily or weekly, and 

 the whole mechani.sni is contained in an attractive 

 melal case fitted with lock and key, which insures 

 the record from being tampered with. 



The clock movement is of extremely high grada; 

 everything about the instrument is up to the high- 

 est possible standard of manufacture.

S. Offerle, of Warren, reports a good 

 business since his beginning some months 

 ago. A good crop of carnations was com- 

 ing on and the plants were fine. 



Victor Offerle, also of Warren, has let 

 contracts for a new greenhouse, which 

 is to go up in the spring, and is to be 

 devoted to roses. W. T. U.
