Gil. White left us.  The flying ants of the small black sort are in great agitation on the zigzag, & are leaving their nests.  This business used to be carryed on in August in a warm summer.  While these emigrations take place, the Hirundines fare deliciously on the female ants full of eggs.  Hop-picking becomes general; & all the kilns, or as they are called in some counties, oasts are in use.  Hops dry brown, & are pretty much subject this year to vinny, or mould.
