An official of the company said the
students were thoroughly honest, in

Borax as = Fruit Prescrvative.

Here is what Rural New Yorker says
Of it: A borax producer in California is
said to be experimenting with this sub
stance as fruit preservative. The fresh
fruit is to be packed in barrels with the
powdered borax. A shipment of cherries
packed in this way reached Chicago In
"prime condition. This is far more
honest than it is to buy 8 cents worth
of borax, mix it with little salt, sugar,
etc. name it tPreservaline, and sell
it for 80 cents, but it will not prove
profitable. Borax should not be used on
fruit just before it is to be eaten. While
it will undoubtedly keep the fruit In a
fresh condition, it Is s4hjurious to health,
and the health boards 10 large cities
where fruit is sold will surely prohibit
its uSo.

A Trial of Spraying Machines.

In the field trial Of spraying machines
under the direction Of the Cornell STA
ton, two classes Of hors epower ma
chimes were entered-gavity machines,
or those that simply dripped out the
water by its own weight, and those
that carried pump to force the water
out. All the gravity machines failed to
throw out the bordeaux mixture. They
quickly clogged and became useless.
While these machines will handle paris
green In water fairly well, they are not
serviceable with bordeaux mixture, for
the lime will surely clog them unless
some force is employed to push the mix
ture out The machines with pump at
tachment did better. The most effective
sprayer was homemade affair thus
described by Rural New Yorker:
Last among the mounted sprayers
came q rude, wild woodsy affair which
contrasted strongly with its painted
and polished namesake. 1t consisted OF
the frame and wheels of an old grain
drill, shortened to fit three feet potato
rows On it were nailed some rough
boards. In these was placed a kerosene
barrel with force pump and hose. To
the latter was attached with proper coup
lings a piece of gas pipe, resting Oh
the rear of the machine, nine feet in
length and fitted with four Vermorel
nozzles. The thills were stout hickory
poles, lashed ON with wire. The oper-
ator went down the rows driving the
one horse, pumping and occasionally
stirring the mixture with q paddle. All
the other machines had stopped for ad-
justment, or because they could not get
on with the spraying. Why would not
this rude affair? But on went the lone
horse shay, where one part was as per-
feet as another, without q stop, save at
the ends of the rows and covering "a
rows with the mixture.
The Knapsack sprayers. with pumps,
did good work, and SO did the powder
guns. The success Of this homemade
sprayer ought to show farmers ho,' q
little display of mechanical skill may
save money for them.

that its East street is the finest village street

Need it be said that land has increased
enormously in value in Lenox since its days
Of unamateur farming9 The acre price of
farms runs we'll into the thousands. and Mr..
Stokes is said to have paid $50, 900 for the
little potato patch of a shrewd lrishman who
saw his opportunity in his nearness to the big
stone mansion.
Contrary to the rule elsewhere. the bigger
the piece Of land the higher price per acre
it will bring. And one scarcely wonders at
this, seeing the effect of utmost beauty pro-
duced by unlimited wealth dealing with hun
drsds of acres of lawn, forest, flower gar
den, shrubbery and plantation.
Even a cottager who rents must spend
money. Cornelius Vanderbilt is supposed to
have paid some So 200 for the use Of a cot
tage--if the name can be applied to a struc-
ture of thirty rooms besides closets. baths
and small halls-for little while last spring
during the Burden Sloane wedding festivi-
ties. The Sloanes and Vanderblts are re-
81, 900 for Highlawn for the season. Mrs.
Robert Winthrop pays $500 for ''Sunny-
ridge" Brayton Ives pays the same rental
for "Windysde." Even the unpretentious
Club cottage in the village. with no grounds
to speak of, brings a rental OF S25OO from
F. d. Tappan. A Lenox cottage must have,
however, not less than sixteen bedrooms to
be considered, as the entertainment of large
country parties is the life of the place.
How the thought of money obtrudes upon

more written about, even, than Founder

to shift her quarters by that time-she
is SO sunbrowned and rosy that when
the toque and the tailor gown and the
gloves and the veil come out she looks
and feels for half an hour strangely
awkward in them, like butterfly try
ing to crawl into its chrysalis again.
When the half hour Is over she has ad

mure and discreet, as downcast of eye
and as low-toned az if she had never

The solid fact about Lenox that awes A
beholder Is the bigness of the estates. Mrs.
Hopkins s-Searles had grounds OF 800 acres to
leave to her handsome husband.
Arson Phelps Stokes cottage, "Shadow
Brook" is not only the largest country house
in America, but it has enormous barns below
it in the valley and its thousands acres of
land stretch away toward the summit of
Bald Hill.
John Z. Parsons. the counsel OF the Surar
Trust, must have as many acres at "Ston.
over" In short, the home grounds of these
great houses cover from 100 to l 1000 acres
each.
Nor is it a mere fiction to cali these places
farms. George Westinghouse, jr., the eIec.
trician, raises thousands of chickens in his
coops at Erskine Park. Mr.. Parsons. Mr..
Stokes and Mr.. Sloane keep many cows.
And Miss Carey is not alone IN having thirty
horses in her stables. Some have more.
The horses and the perfect roads and the
big estates go together. What harm is there
