Ancient HOstclries In New York.

The earliest record of an English hos
telry that our printed documents afford
is of the Kings Head, kept by one Roger
Baker, where committees of the Council
and Assembly of the province met for
conference, according to the journal of
the latter body, on the twenty-ninth day
of August, 1901. Subsequent entries
show that these meetings were of fIe-
quent occurrence, and always at taverns.
Although the City Hall afforded album
dant accommodation, these gentlemen
preferred, after the fashion of the day,
to negotiate over the social board. The
Kings Head appears to have stood in
"Queens street, without the fortifca-
tions," on location which may be now
precisely described as the northwest cor
ner of Pearl and Liberty streets. The
sign was the head of William of Orange.
of ''glorious and immortal memory, -
then near the close of his reign. Bakers
rival in the patronage of the gentry was
one Gabriel Thompson, who kept the
White Lion, the site of which has not
been handed down. HIS name, with the
mention of his occupation, is found as
early as 1888. Besides the Kings Head
and the White Lion, the name of only
one other tavern sign between 1900 and
1870 has been preserved, that of the
Boot. On the other hand, the names of
keepers of taverns are constantly met
with in official documents. Henry Swift
appears as the host who provided the
dinner given to Lord Lovelace on his ar
rival to the command of the province
an entertainment which cost the sum of
forty-six pounds seven shillings and six
pence, which must have been the equiv
alent of an enormous quantity of "bread
and sack" at the prices of the time. OF
the other ancient hosts the names only
have come down of Bernard Harden
brook, Elizabeth Jourdain, who enter
tanned the Council and 'lodged her Ma
jesty's soldiers, and the widow Post, of
the family of butchers and tavern keep
ers which appears for century in our
annals.-Harper'S Magazine.

FFRTILIzElts FnR OATS.

1t is a serious question with many farm
ers, particularly in the Central West, to
what extent fertilizers can be employed
at a profit. Jacob Zellers, contestant
in the american Agriculturia competi-
ton last year, applied 800 pounds of
phosphate on his acre of oats and har-
vested thirty bushels. The land for six
teen years had been in four-year rota-
ton of oats without manure, then wheat
drilled in with grass-seed and 200 pounds
per acre of bone meal, after having
twelve two-horse loads of manure plowed
under, the hay crop being followed the
fourth year by corn. The crops were
fifteen bushels per acre of oats and wheat,
two tons of hay and forty bushels of corn.
The practical result is therefore an in
crease of fifteen bushels in yield by the
use of 500 pounds of phosphate, This
certainly did not pay, even allowing
literally for the plant-food remaining in
the soil. There are evidences in Mr..
Zellerss report that lead to the conclu-
sion that very much less fertilizer would
have had the same result at cost that
would have proved a profitable invest
ment. 1t is a simple matter for farmers
to find out how much fertilizer it will
pay to use by applying varying quantities
to strips of land and noting which plot
gives the most profitable crop. IN the
case of ]. G. Miller, Fairfield County,
Ohio, clay loan that had never been
manured-a corn stubble-was stirred
three or four inches deep with a spring
tooth cultivator, followed by four har-
rowings with the Thomas harrow, twice
each way alternately, and was rolled
twice. Then 400 pounds of phosphate
were drilled in, after which two and one
half bushels of White Bonanza oats were
drilled in crosswise with 200 pounds of
bone meal. Just before the last harrow
ing, 100 pounds of salt was broadcasted,
and $50 pounds of nitrate of soda was
sown by hand five days after planting.
At fifty cents, the crop of sixty-nine
bushels just about paid for ITSELF

STERILIZATION OF MILK.

A newly-introduced process very
simple one-promises to be useful and
effective for the increased consumption
Of milk. This is the sterilization of the
milk by heating it and thus destI oying
all germs of decomposition after it has
been inclosed in perfectly air proof bot
ties. There is no secret or difficulty
about the process, which may be carried
through in any well-arranged dairy. But
it is a curious instance of the ignorance
of many persons not practically ac-
quainted with the dairy business to
notice the claims of the promoters of the
enterprise for the preparation and sale Of
this sterihzed milk, which will keep in
definitely and is especially adapted for
the nursing Of infants. In a small pam
phlet sent out by company formed to
carry on this business it is stated that
"the milk is carefully freed by fltering
from every particle Of droppings from
the COW unavoidably falling into the
milk pail, and "from excrements adher-
ing to the udder and surrounding parts. -
II is right that this point should be ex-
planned in regard 10 the milk prepared
by this company, but 1t is a remarkable
iLsinuation against the cleanliness of the
farmers who supply milk for sale, an / an
example of amazing ignorance Of the Gus
toms prevailing in even the average milk
dairies, where such unavoidable filth
can never possibly fall into the milk

Fighting For the Frogs.

In the Belgian districts, where the
playful frog lives in large colonies around
the ponds, canals and bitches, there is
lamentation and woe among the farmers
at the wholesale destruction of the
creature, which, besides being in the
French gourmand's estimation, "good
for food, is very useful to agriculturists
as a slug and insect hunter. After
various fruitless attempts to prevent the
destruction of the frogs they have now
put their case-and that of the frogs
before King Leopold, petitioning that
frog hunting be prohibited during GER
tain parts of the year, so us to prevent
frogs from disappearing altogether from
the country. If, therefore, it should be
noticed in the rear future by admirers of
stewed frogs that their favorite dish is
becoming more expensive than ever, they
will know whom to blame for the fact

First Presbyterian Church in America,

After years of toll on the part Of the
Presbyterian congregation at Snow Hill,
Md, they have succeeded in erecting
handsome church ediice as a memorial to
the Rev. Francis Mackenzie, an Irishman
sent to America by the presbytery Of
Lagoon, and who is believed to have been
the first regularly ordained Presbyterian
minister in this country. To his labors
are due the establishment of Presbyterian
churches at Snow Hill, Rehoboth, Mano-
kin and Wicomico. The church Just
completed at Snow Hill, which is to be
dedicated during the first part of May by
the Rev. DIR. Patton, President of Prince
ton College, stands on the site of the
original church. II is handsome
Gothic structure of brick, with red stone
trimmings, having two steeples, through
which the building is entered. The win
dows are of stained glass. The interior
is frescocd and finished in quartered oak.
The building is lighted by electricity.
The original Snow Hill church, which is
claimed TO have been the first Presbyto-
rian church in America, was erected in
1888 or 1854, and was described as ga
plain wooden building thirty feet long" p"
In excavating for the foundations of the
new ediiice, bricks of unusual size were
unearthcd, and were evidently from the
foundation of the old house. The imme-
diate predecessor of the new building
was situated farther back from che street,
was of brick, and built in 1913, succeed.
ing the one erected in 1745, which took
the place Of the original Mackenzie meet.

fourth house of worship erected for the

prominent men in the country contributed
to the building of the new church,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Leave no farm gates ajar.
Poor tools waste time-money.
Complete crops-corn and clover.
Who ever heard of an over-supply of
tirst-class dairy productsa
The man who treats his soil we'll will
be treated well by his soil.
No one can economize for the farmer
so well as the farmer himself.
Peas, beans and cow-peas have about
the same chemical composition.
A soil well prepared to receive the
crop needs little after cultivation.
When asparagus is planted in rows,
they should be four or five feet apart.
A wash of fresh buttermilk is said to
kill lice on hogs. The milk needs to be
well rubbed into the brlstles.
Fowls require lots of water, especially
in warm weather. Fill their drinking
cups often with pure, fresh water.
Brush land is a splendid rowing place
for fowls. If there are no predatory ami
mails better place could not be had.
The scrub animal has pedigree which
by adverse circumstances has a down
ward instead of an upward tendency.
A well-managed creamery in a COM
munity will give the community a pros
perity that it has never before known.
Plant the garden so that you can have
a regular successian of vegetables. Plant
small fruit with the same end in view.
Keep your coops, houses and runs nice
and neat. 1t will not only add to the
beauty of your fowls but make ycu
happy, and will make those who call to
see your stock feel better pleased.
Many of the diseases common to child
hood cause little fear in vegetarian fam
lilies, for even if they should be taken
from association with the children of
tiesh-eating families, they assume only
the mild forms and occasion but little un-
easiness.
Wax pole beans are delicious eating.
They succeed the ordinary dwarf beans,
and keep up the supply until the frost
kills the vines. They are richer, more
succulent and more palatable than the
dwarfs, and should be in every garden
dozen or two hills, as the size of the
family demands.

when the country was new, they re-
manned much longer, yielding good
crops annually Of clover and timothy.
There were present several Of the best
farmers in the county, and they freely
acknowledged the truth of the state
ment.
One farmer said the land is being
robbed of its elements, which produced
large crops Of grass, and are not re-
turned; consequently, the land is be-
coming poor, and would produce less
and less. Others responded that top
dressing did not keep the meadows
good. 1t was the decided opinion that
meadows, as we'll as pastures, must be
plowed, cultivated and reseeded, to OBJ
tain full growth.
The writer well remembers an expert
ment in this direction. A meadow on
the "Homestead" farm, in the days
when the mower was unknown, was
made almost perfect, so smooth was it
and free from stones. Each year it was
given a heavy top-dressing. The sod be-
came very hard and solid. The grass
was fine, and fair crop was obtained,
but not near what should have been
grown, as it was the most natural grass
land on the farm. This was carried on
for years-long enough to demonstrate
whether that was the right way to man
age the meadow. 1t was finally broken
up, and a crop of corn raised, followed
by spring wheat, and then seeded to
clover. A finer crop of clover never
grew.-AmerjcdR Aqriculturist

WIRE NETTING IN THE GARDEN.


The suggestion is made in GardeH and
Forest to substitute wire netting for bean
poles and pea brush in village gardens.
The galvanized wire netting sufficient for
a row of peas, beans, or tomatoes $50
feet long, it is affirmed, will cost twenty
cents a year only, if ordinary care be
taken of the netting when not in use. In
using the wire only few stout stakes are
needed, which can be put away under
cover when not in use, and it makes the
neatest kind of trellis Imaginable, 1t
throws no shade and always presents a
point to tie to. Tomatoes usually need
"a good deal of tying with most methods of
training, but on the wire-netting they
soon get their shoots interlocked in the
meshes and only need the occasional ty-
ing in Of a branch. This netting is not
only cheaper than the various patent trel-
lises offered for sale, but is much better
every way. The netting is largely used
for poultry-yard Enclosures. A wider
grade is used, so as to make a fence seven
feet high by the help of a base board
twelve inches wide. There is no reason
why these poultry fences could not
be made both beautiful and useful by
using them to support grapevines, trained
high, so as to have the fruit out of the
way of the poultry. The vines would be
benefited by the droppings of the fowls
and the fowls by the shade of the vines.

POPCORN FOR PROFIT.

The fact is suggested to those looking
about to "dodge competition" in crops,
that popcorn is always in demand; many
times the quantity now grown would be
used if raised. Children are fond of it.
and it is better for them than nuts and
candy, and apparently just as satisfac-
tory. The price ranges from seventy-tive
cents to 81 per bushel of ears, it being
the latter here now, and scarce at that.
A neighbor sold his crop last fall, nearly
100 bushels, from one acre, for 81 a
bushel. A New York dealer offers to
take all friend of mine will raise this
year-price not quoted, because not
asked. A prominent seed firm tells me
the small, white, flint popcorn generally
brings best price. have raised it, and
can produce as much per acre, both
stover and grain, as large field corn of
any kind. In rows three feet apart each
way and four stalks in a hill, it yields
two ears per stalk, and often three.
There IS no risk in growing it, for it is
worth as much to feed, acre for acre, as
the large flint corn.-NeO York Tribune.

A Chapel ON Wheels.

The chapel on wheels one of the North
Dakota bishops is having constructed is
dubbed the Gospel car" It is de-
scribed as a combination of a church and
private residence. The Former is equipped
with the baptismal font, and all the con
veniences for administering confirmation
and the sacred rites. 1t will be an at

have the converts whirled over the
prairies at forty miles an hour while
being prepared for the celestial journey.

A Tree That is a Sylvan Palace.

One of the most extraordinary OF
African trees is that known as the baobab.
1t is almost a forest in itself, and serves
as complete sylvan palace on the largest
scale Rarely growing more than seventy
feet high, its branches extend horizontally,
supported by a trunk which has a girth
greater, it is believed, than that Of any
other known tree. One of these extra.
ordinary trees was found on measurement
to be forty feet in diameter. The age of
another, counting the concentric rings,
was found to be 5000 years at the very
least.

PRUNING EVERGREEN HEDGES.

Evergreen hedges should be pruned
only once a year in our hot dry climate.
The proper time for pruning is in early
spring, or just before the buds swell and
growth begins. The American arbor
Vita and hemlock are the two best ever
greens for ornamental hedges, but the
Norway spruce and the American white
spruce are sometimes used for this pur-
pose, but they are much coarser- growing
trees than the first two named, and do
not make as neat hedges, although
stronger. York Sun.

wATcH YouR POTATOES.

If you find they are rotting, says a
New Jersey correspondent of The Coua-
try Geatleman, take a large two-horse
plow, straddle the row, plow well to the
left and about two inches under the po-
tatoes, whop them upside down, and let
them be there until you want to market
or put them away for winter. Any po-
tato that is sound (even with white
specks on it) will keep sound in this in
verted furrow. 1 have saved my crops
by this method. If you pull few out
by the vines catching on the plow, pick
them up, but leave the potatoes in the
furrow covered with earth, and do not
put them in heaps or in the buildings, as
they will rot.

no PREVENT FLYING OVER.

The hen always alights on the top Of
the fence before going over. To prevent
her from finding a lodging place on the
fence stretch a wire about six inches from
the top Of the fence aud on line with
the top, by fastening a strip to the inside
of each post for that purpose. The wire
should be on the inside of the fence,
parallel with the top and six inches from
it. When the hen attempts to fly over
she strikes the wire and is thrown back.
