CRRSS.

Neither the water nor the upland cress is
grown to any extent in the south, but both
are grown extensively near the large cities
of the north and in European countries.
The water cress grows only on the bank of
water courses, and when ouce sown in
congenial place is perennial.
The upland cress grows in any ordinary
garden soil, and should be sown early in the
season. 1t is the most pungent of salads
more so, even, than the strongest mustards.
1t shoots very early to seed.

is grown in small way, but we have never
seen it growing in this section outside of a
little for experiment. The leaves can be
blanched and used as a salad, but the prin-

substitute forcoffee. The root, something
like that of a carrot, is sliced up and dried.

of celery. 1t is not much grown in the
south. Where the flavor of celery is wanted
it is very desirable plant to grow, as it
can be sown in the fall, and will endure all
the winter in our climate. As it is just as
easy to grow the celery plant, it is not
generally grown in this country, but is very
extensively planted in Germany.

The expenses of the farm and family 60
on through all the year. 1t is almost i'm
possible to make profit unless there is equal
continuity in selling. There may be and
should be special crops that furnish the bulk
of the money received from the farm; but
if this is drawn upon by continual drain
not relieved by any new supply, it will be
drawn down to nothing. For years southern
farmers have depended wholly on their
sales of cotton, and though this is one of
the most profitable crops grown, it has been
impossible for southern planters to keep out
of the debt until they adopted the northern
plan of growing a diversity of crops.

Fruit trees set last fall should be ex-
amined frequently during the winter, as
they are liable to serious injury. The soil
around them cannot be packed so that it
will hold them firmly, and unless raised
around the trunk it will settle 80 that water
will fill in and wash the dirt from between
the fine roots. II at such times severe
freezing weather occurs, the roots are I'M
protected, and may be badly injured. The
soil taken out from the hole where the tree
is set is never enough to fill around it, and il
is better to leave mound five or six inches
high all around the trunk than to have it
the center of a depression.

1t is an instructive exercise for farmers to
walk over their land just as frost is coming
out of the soil and note the difference be-
tween drained and undrained land. In
every case it will be found that the dryer
soil freezes more deeply, but it also thaws
more readily on approach of renewed
warmth in the spring. Freezing opens the
soil, and this expansion allows larger in
gress Of air from above. On the other
hand, soil that is either watersoaked or COW
cred with water early in winter is protected
from deep freezing. and this film of ice ex-
cludes air until comparatively late in
spring. Ice is thus often found in the re-
cesses of swamps in April week or more
after all has disappeared from upland cult
waited fields.

Why Immigrants Do Not Come to
Portland by Steamer.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Treasury
Department has taken steps to secure infor-
nation in respect to the reports that immi-
grants for the United States are in many iu-
stances. first landed at Halifax, N. S., and
then come across the border by rail to escape
the Operations Of the new immigration law.
The department has addressed letters to col
lectors of customs with request for what
ever information they may have. The first
resense was received today from Collector
Dow of Portland. Maine. dated April 13.
He says the last three English steamers
landed passengers there as follows: March
eth, the Carthagenian. forty-three having
previously landed about 1C0 at Halifax
March 30, the Sarnia three, having previous
ly landed about eco at Halifax; and April Z,
the Partisan seventy-four, having previously
landed 1000 at Halifax. The Collector says
the immigrant inspector at the port has In
formed him that immigrants landed there
were apparentlf of a better class than the
usual run and were in the possession of con-
siderable amount OF baggage, Indicating, the
inspector thinks, that the poorer classes was
landed at Halifax. The collector says 1t is
probable large portion of those landed at
Halifax will ultimately reach the United
States. He also says the steamer Polynesan
Is expected to arrive about the 20th inst. He
supposes she would land many immigrants
at Halifax and suggests that detective off,
GERS stationed at Halifax at the time of her
arrival might be able to trace the ultimate
destination OF any considerable number
OF those intending to cross the line. 1t Is
not possible to prevent immigrants landed
In Canada reaching the United States, the
collector says, without closer supervision of
incoming trains from Canada than has here

On next Monday, April Goth, the towns in
Aroostook will decide by their votes whether
the county shall loan its credit to the extent
OF halt million dollars to aid In the con-
struction Of the proposed Bangor & Aroos-

A special legislative dIspensation is needed
70 enable county to loan its credit In this
way; and this dispensation was given by the
legislature which adjourned recently.

pany has been organized under the general

The proposed plan is to build the road
from Brownville, on the Katahdin Iron
Works Branch of the Bangor and Piscata-
quis railroad, to the Aroostook river, which
crosses the county in its northern portion.
Thus the new road would traverse about
two-thirds Of the north and south length Of
the county. Ultimately 1t might be ex-
tended beyond the Aroostook river to Fort
Kent, on the extreme northern border Of the
State. The main line of the road would be
along the eastern edge Of the county, through

sl7 miles via Bangor 8 Piscatnquis and pro

But the new line would afford yet shorter
line Of rails from Portland to Aroostook. By
consulting the map 1t will be seen that Dover,
on the lower, left hand corner, Is the ter
minus Of the Maine Central in PlscataauIs
county. The distance from Portland to
Dover is 139 miles. 1t Is but 10 miles from
Dover to Brownville; but there Is no direct
railroad connection between the two places.
But there Is an indirect connection via
Milo. on the Bangor & Plscataquis and the
Katahdin from Works branch.
By this way the distance from Dover to
Brownville Is about 80 miles. Therefore It'll
possible to reach Brownyille from Portland
via Dover by an all rail line OF 100 miles. By
way OF Bangor 1t Is 1S2 miles from Portland
to Brownville. SO the following table OF dis
tances from Portland to Houlton results:

For long distance the Bangor and Aroos-

that the road would develop the numbering
