Cranberry Pests.

At convention of cranberry growers
in Philadelphia, as reported in The New
England Homestead, it was stated that
several members whose hogs had been
seriously damaged by grasshoppers and
katydids bad purchased, large flocks of
turkeys and set them to foraging. They
soon ate up the grasshoppers, but the
katydids largely flew away and did not
return. The turkeys trampled many Of
the berries off, but it was thought that
the gain largely exceeded the loss. An
other member, who had had his berries
destroyed by the grasshoppers, bought
an expensive spraying machine and
sprayed the boys early in the season, be-,
fore the fruit was set, with paris green,
and thus secured large crop where for
merly all the berries had been eaten by
insects.

Fertilizers ON Tomatoes.

A New Jersey station report gives de-
tails and results of an experiment ON
the value of nitrate Of soda in varying
amounts, both alone and in different
combinations, with boneblack and mu-
rate of potash. Twelve twentieth acre
plats were employed, two of them being
left unfertilized and another treated with
barnyard manure, as checks To some
Of the plots all of the nitrate of soda
was applied at once, and to others two
applications were made, three weeks
apart. The tomatoes matured more
quickly and gave a greater proportion Of
early fruit on the plats receiving nitrate
Of soda. Other results were as follows:
1. Nitrate of soda is superior to
both barnyard manure and mineral fer.
tilizers alone. 2. Nitrate of soda
alone is, ON the whole, but slightly less
effective than the complete manure
8. When small quantities of nitrate
are used, the second application is adj
vantageous. 4. Large quantities $3.50
pounds per acre) Of nitrate are more
effective than small quantities (160
pounds per acre.

Docks" Expectations.
(Biddeford Journal.)

The Portland ball team came up from
Lewiston last night on the same train
with Canton Dearborn. A journal repre-
sentative engaged Goodhart of the team
in conversation. Goodhart is a gentleman
on and off the field, and a pleasant man
to meet. He talked Interestingly of base
ball, and during the conversation was
asked what he thought of Dookerty as a
player.
Goodhart said he thought aDock'' was
fast enough in fielding for the league.
He liked his way of handling himself in
the field, but thought that he would be
weak at the bat. He said, however, that
he thought Dock would overcome this
weakness if he could get up little more
confidence Another thing he said was
that 'sDock" had the misfortune during
his brief trial to run up against good
pitchers. Then, too. the Portlands were
playing in hard luck and not winning
many games, consequently the manage
ment couldn't afford to experiment..

THE NEW STREET RAILWAY
A Substantially Constructed Line From
the Santa Fe Depot
To Be the nost Substantial Road In Town
When CoripIete1-The Line of
Construction

In about four weeks one of the finest
roads in this city will bs placed at the
service OF the travelling public.
In the latter part OF last March ground
was first broken for the new road, and
since tn At time the work OF construction
has steadily progressed. Rails, ties and
piles Of loose dirt have blocked the streets
upon which the track is to bs placed. and
as these subsde the heart Of the suburb
an resident has once more regained its
joyful throbbing.
The road is being built by the Los An
geles Traction company, OF which Presi-
dent Hook is the moving spirit. 1t is
nearly four miles in length and will be
built OF the most substantial material in
the market. The rails themselves are
known as 60-pounders, weighing sixty
pounds to the yard. This is greatly in
excess OF the usual weight and will kee p
the street in much better condition by its
greater rigidity under the strain of the
car. The tracks are bonded at intervals
with heavy electric wires OF ''hoods, to
facilitate the passage of the electric cur
rent on the return circuit. The ties are
6xS railroad ties and are heavily blocked
to prevent sagging.
The road will extend from the Santa Fe
depot to Hoover street, the line of con-
struction being as follows: From the de-
pot up Third TO Hill, to Eighth, to Pearl
to Eleventh. to Georgia Bell, to Six
teenth, to Bush. to Hoover.
The motive pow er will be electricity and
the wires for the overhead trolley system
are already in position. The cars and en-
gine for the power house are expected at
any time from the east, and are to be Of
the most modern improved class.
