TALKING ABOUT THE TROLLEY.
Nothing in the history OF Montclair. from Its
earliest settlement to the present time has caused
so much comment. 80 much debate and so much
sueculation as the agitation which is now going on
in favor of a trolley road which Is 10 run through
the little ar!stocratic exclusive town. The Town
ship Committee had a meeting IN the Opera House
a short time ago. other meetings have taken place
and more are looked forward to with great In
tercst Among those who are leaders In the troll
ley movement James owen. William Holmes,
D. V Harrison Samuel Holmes Frank Lord.
George II. de Cunha and number of other old
and progressive citizens. On the other side, and
opposed to the trolley. the pastors OF the
various churches. the Town Improvement Associa-
ton and many of the people whose fine houses and
beautiful grounds are prominent features OF the
place.
The time was" said a Montclair citizen when
the people with horses and carriages had right
to dictate, and bound to keep the roads
for their especial benefit. but the middlecIass man
has come here TO stay. and his wishes are worthy
OF consideration those OF the rich people.
On the other hand, the people who hope TO see
the rural aspect of the place preserved in Mont
clair, who selected IL as a home simply because II
defeat the -heme. Their views are expressed in a
protest. signed by the Governing Board OF the I'm
prOvement Association. in which II is said OF the

Peas Do Not yepetaSe.

Most gardeners have been more or less
annoyed by the failure of peas to vege-
tate. The loss of seed is not the greatest
vexation, though that is material, but
the loss of time A correspondent in The
New England Homestead writes: When
we plant our early peas and wait ten
days or two weeks for them to put in an
appearance, only to find that they will
never grow, we cannot get back the time,
and SO we have no early peas. A part of
the trouble comes from the fact that
much of the seed is infested by weevils,
which have eaten out the germ and
ruined it. We are sorry to believe that
old seed, SO old that it will not vege-
tate, sometimes gets mixed with fresher
seed and thus reduces the number that
grow. A still further factor in this
trouble is the neglect of the gardener to
suitably prepare the ground. In the
early spring when it is wet this is often
neglected, and the peas are covered with
Jumps OF clay or heavy soil which soon
harden and effectually prevent the vines
from reaching the surface. The ground
must be well mellowed before peas are
planted. Lastly, plant thickly. II all
come up, they can be thinned If neces-
sary, but this is rarely called for.

Let Your Hens sit.

The best results are obtained from
hens that gro allowed TO sit than when
they are prevented from inoubating.
When the hen goes to her nest to sit,
sho does SO for the purpose of using the
fat of her body to impart heat to the
eggs, and as she seldom leaves the nest
to feed she becomes reduced in flesh by
the time the eggs are Matched She also
secures rest and reouperates, AS rule,
a sitting hen is nearly always fat, and
to prevent her from sitting simply keeps
her in u condition unfavorable to lay
ing. There are times, however, when
no chicks are desired. In such cases let
the hen so to the nest, giving her few
porcelain eggs. Do not break her from
sitting, as she will soon become broody
again and will lay but few eggs before
going on the nest the second time, but
if kept on tho nest for two or three
weeks and then "broken up" she will
come off in excellent condition for lay
ing and will lay moro eggs than she
would have done if prevented from sit
ting, including the time lost in incuba-
ton, and she will not become broody
until she is i'll a fat con lition again.

Smut In Corn.

The smut in corn will reproduce it.
self the next year if sown with seed. Tt
is little remarkable that there should
have been SO much smut last year in
view Of the character of the season. The
commonly received opinion is that wet
weather makes a smut year, but we aye
hearing of great deal Of smut in spite
of the abnormal drought. AS has been
said, the seed of smutted corn will I'M
doubtedly contain smut spores. 1t is
also true that the ground will contain
them and make smutty crop the next
season, although perfectly clean seed is
procured.
The only way to get rid of srut that
we know Of, says the Iowa Homestead,
is to put land that has grown smutty
crop into some other crop than corn for
a year or two. Smut left on the ground
will produce smut the next year and in
increased quantity if the ground again
be put in corn. To get rid of it, there
fore, it is necessary to change the crop,
and the corn smut will then die out be-
cause it cannot subsist on any other
host than corn. By cleaning the ground
in this way and then getting clean seed
smut can be eradicated

Puliata CT Hens.

"Pullets excel for eggs, hens for any
thing else" says a writer for Farm
Poultry, who explains as follows: Start
ing out in the spring of the year, pull
let's in the average case lay many more
eggs than hens and are not SO persist
emit in sitting. In summer the balance
is about even, and in the fall the hen,
as q rule, lays the first part before she
molts, the pullet the last part after
she molts, it usually being the case
that the pullet is the first molter. This
leaves the chances in favor of the pullet
as winter layer.
With the spring Matched pullet a
great deal lies in the individual, for
some are naturally more enterprising
than Others and taken miscellaneously
they would not do Bit better during
the winter months than an equal num-
Der of early molters at any age. Hens
throw stronger and more vigorous chick
ems than pullets, are more experienced
and less foolish. Hence greater per
cent of their eggs will be fertile. They
are better mothers and usually better
sitters. In a word, pullets for layers,
Md fowls for breeders.

FARM MORTGAGES.
The First Adequate and Comprehensive
Report Ever Made on the Subject,


We begin at last really to know some.
thing about farm mortgages and the
burdening of American homes with
debt Census bulletin No. 9S gives the
hrst adequate and comprehensive report
ever made on the subject, and that re.
port refutes statements that have been
made and accepted. Here are the facts
as cleaned from the bulletin alluded to
by the New York World;
There are about 4, 100, 600 farm fam
lilies in tine country. Only about 900, coo
OF them have any mortgages at all. And
these mortgages, as clearly appears,
represent for the most part energy and
thrift rather than impoverishment
They are mortgages given for deferred
payments in purchasing land or for cap
ltai borrowed to enlarge operations
Less than 3per cent of all the mortgages
represent borrowing for expenses or be-
cause OF poverty. The rest represent
profitable business enterprise.
This mortgage Indebtedness lies al
most wholly north of the Potomac and
Ohio line. New York farms are mort
gagged for $l39, 900, 003. Those of Iowa
carry burden of little more than
500, 600. 600; those of Illinois, a trife
less In Pennsylvania and Kansas the
figures fall to about $73, 900, 900, in
Ohio to $40, 1000, 900, in Michigan to
$64, 600, 600, in Wisconsin to $55, 000,-
600, in Missouri to 500, GOO, 900, in Ne
braska to SAT, 900, 600, in California to
SAG, 600, 900, in Indiana about the same,
in Minnesota to $37, 000 900, in New
Jersey to $25, Co., 900, South Dakota
$l5, 600, 600 and Vermont and Massa-
ohusetts 81 900, 900 each.
Among the southern states West Viz
ginia heads the list with SIS, 900, 600
mortgage debt. Virginia, the two Caro-
linas and Louisiana owe between 49,
900, 900 and 81, 600, 900 each, Mississippi
less than $4,000, 900, Arkansas about
50, 600, 900, Alabama and Georgia less
than So, 900, 900 and Florida less than
$1,000,0OO

PROPER SIZE OF sEEAves.
Southern Apiarist Gives His Experience
on This Subject of General Interes.


on This Subject of General Intered.
Agriculture is like some other prfes-
sions in the way of progress, whiohaem
to proceed, as it We're, by a sort of ebb
and flow. AT one time il is ten flame
hives, then NEW idea" hives of asin-
gle story OF go, 80 or 40 frames, tese
10 relegate to the rear TO give place to
hives of eight frames, and now these
latter will most likely pass with tho ebb
for the flood tide to bring forward the
ten frame hive again. A Georgia core-
spondent Of The American Bee Jourlal,
who in 1870 discarded the old box hive
in favor Of the ten frame Langstfo5h
hive, gives his experience in hivesas
follows:
The ten frame Langstroth hive gave
nue. good returns but wanted to do bet
ter, so when General Adair brought ont
his small pamphlet on his "New idea
Hive" / applied the "idea" to the
Langstroth frame. Adair's franc was
close fitting all around, something like
section. made dozen of these hives
holding from 20 to 40 frames These
hives | worked exclusively for extracted
honey, but when the season was over
and the results summed up l found l
got no better returns from them than |
did from my ten frame hives.
For several years past have been ex-
perimenting with the eight frame hive,
and these experiments have taught me
that there is limit to hive space, modi-
fed somewhat by locality, which must
be observed in order to obtain the moro
favorable results. In my locality the
honey flow proper commences about the
LIST of April and lasts till the middle Of
June, after which there is dearth Of
nectar till the lst of September, when
tho fall flowers appear. The bees in the
eight frame hives would put the surplus
in the sections in the second story and
not leave enough in the brood chamber
to keep up the working force of tho col
ony for the fall pasture. The result was
deficiency of stores and necessity to
feed to enable them to pull through the
winter. When spring came, they were
weak, and by the time they built up
the best of the honey season was over,
but they did not so consider it and
would proceed to cast off an abundance
of unreasonable swarms.
Summing up my experience on the
hive question, l am satisfied that, for
most locations, q hive of nine or ten
frames is as small as can be proftably
used for either comb or extracted honey.
BY the way, use two story hive. The
second story is devoted to either comb
or extracted honey, and for my manipu-
lation of hives 1 want frame with
closed end top bar SO as to be self spao-
ing. Fer this reason I have long since
discarded the old straight seven eighth
inch top bar.

A Good Grating Wax.

Here is Country Gentleman's recipe
for grating wax: Take 4pounds rosin,
2 pounds tallow and / pound beeswax.
Put all into kettle and melt slowly,
aud when all are melted and we'll
mixed turn all into q pail of cool wa
ter. Then grease your hands well with
tallow or oil, and when the wax is cool
enough to handle work it and pull it
as you would molasses candy, and the
wax will be perfect. Use pail of tepid
water to carry the wax to the field for
use, and the hands must be kept CREASED
when using it. If it is to be used in
quite cool weather, it may contain a
little more tallow.
