PRAISE FROM SIR HUBERT.
The American Turf. Field and Farm
Compliments the Owners of John II.
Gentry.

The American Turf, Field and Farm
Compliments the Owners of John r..
Gentry.
TIE following from the American
Turf, Field and Farm, the leading sport
ing journal of the country, will be graft
flying to the friends of John r. Gentry's
owners: ''Mr L. Banks Holt, one of the
gentlemen who owns John R. Gentry, is
an honorable and conscientious man, a
great lover of horses and generous
patron of all healthful and legitimate
sports. Mr. James M Scott, an equal
owner of the great horse, is a young
man of clear cut honor, keen judgment
and an ayowed champion of purity
in turf affairs. Both of these
gentlemen abhor scandal, and
neither Of them need any endorsement
where they are known, and their con
duct in the public affairs of the turf has
been always Of a character calculated to
inspire confidence. Myron McHenry,
the driver of John r Gentry, never rode
behind horse in all Of his career that
gave him so much of real pleasure as
this one, and when he was beaten by Joe
Patchen at Chicago, the famous driver
was almost inconsola5le. There is not a
doubt that in every race he drives Gentry
his every skill is brought into action to
the end that he may win"
The Horseman says: The meeting
at Raleigh, n. c., the home of ]. f.
Scott, made famous in connection with
his ownership of John R. Gentry. was a
fake, if we are to believe the reports.
The President and his s., 600 purses
were not honest"
The Horseman commits a gross error
in the statement. The flake" meeting
occurred at Salisbury, and neither the
owners of John r. Gentry nor any Raj
eigh horseman had anything to do with
the affair.

The duty of TRANSPORTATION companies
to the producers Of F orida has been dis
cussed at considerable length in our
columns since the disastrous freeze of
last winter. Wehave taken the position
that as a matter of self-defense the
transportation com panies would be COM
PEELED to make better rate on Florida
produce in order to encourage a larger
production of diversified crops, which,
since the loss of business caused by the
Cat best) temporary disturbance of the
orange groves, is essential to the life of
the transportation business of the State.
We have gone still further. and claimed
that unless these better rates were given,
the production would diminish instead
of increase, as the growers under the
existing conditio ms could not make ex-
penses.
The case, as stated in one of our edi-
torials, appeared so just and logical that

new remedy also want to tell you Of
resin and soap, sprayed on the vines with
a "knapsack" sprayer.
In the first place it requires two PEI
sons to work it-one to pump and one to
lltt the vines and turn them over 1t is
slow and unsatisfactory work. One man
with a large hair brush can do better
work. The mixture seemingly kills all
1t comes in contact with, but in few
days they are back again as bad as ever.
The valves of your knapsack sprayer
in a few hours are stuck fast with the
resin, and while | think of it, be very
sure, if you think you truly need KNAPP
sack sprayer, to buy the latest make, as
those that are soldered tight so that you
cannot get into the valves to clean them
are great nuisance.
l have been telling you of little mat
ters of interest that know to be facts.
Not to seem too presumptuous, nor
question the honesty of many quite
worthy gentlemen, whose names we see
signed 10 long drawn out laudations of
this and that compound to preserve or
cure, | will only say | think know that
you will never get your money back If

The French have by earnest and sci

toward mitigating the ravages of these

cannot buy the remedy from unprlncl-

He had com pounded TWENTY different

ers, some of them for which the farmers
had paid as high as 800. Remember,
it was no joke to lose hundred head OF
hogs in night and a day that would
average 500 pounds and were worth ten
cents per pound, live weight, as in 1869
they were. Well, the druggist took
little of each drug of these many pre-
scriptions, thinking, as he told me, that
there might be some good in some of
them and no harm in any of them.
The farmers whose hogs did not die
after taking the preventative" signed
in testimony, but the farmers whose
hogs did die were never asked to sign.

AS my neighbors do not 60 to SO much

Many are going to try egg plants for

price will be low and the railroads get a
scolding. Let me say to those who try
that if the worms bother the plants, puff
them with the flour mixture lightly.
In one of the numbers of your paper
you said that tomato growers were
troubled with the cut worm, or worm
that bores and eats the tomatoes. If
these men had taken The AaRICULTURIsT

watermelon vines, for them have found
no remedy. Every year l grow water
melons, but only by planting from the
1st of January to October. March vines
were not harmed by them this year.
But about two weeks ago they started
in on a patch of an acre of beautiful
vines and they are now ruined. 1 will
plant some more and they may not

ABOUT CITY.

The foundation walls of the new Hum
garian Catholic church on Capouse ave-
nue. are about completed.
1t is expected that the false work of
the Linden street bridge will arrive to-
day, and then the work of erecting the
eastern span will begin.
Scranton's new school building at
Columbia avenue is approaching COM
pletion. 1t will be a decided acquisi-
ton to the school architecture of the
city.
The roof is being placed on the new
silk mill for James Simpson 4 Co..
of Patterson, N. j., the concern
that intends to move its plant to this
city.
Good progress is being made by Con-
tractor Schroeder on the new high
school. and fair general idea of the
appearance of the building when COM
pleted can now be obtained.
M. ]. Ruddy and b. M, Fox, of this
city, who have the contract for fixing
up the grounds about the federal build
ing, on Washington avenue. are to have
the work completed within sixty days.
A force of men in charge of Con-
tractor c. r. Kingsley are grading the
extension of Washington avenue from
the end of the asphalt pavement at
Electric avenue to the city line. After
the grading is completed 1t is the in
tention of the property owners to lay
an asphalt pavement on the extension.
The new Hotel Jermyn is about ready
to receive the copper roof, but little OF
the stone and brick work Of the eXter-
ior walls remaining to be laid. The
hotel will be lighted by an electric
plant located in the cellar, power from
which will be used to run pump
which will carry water from the city
mains to a. reservoir on the roof of the
building, from which the hotel will be
supplied. This will secure an equal
pressure on all the floors at all times,
will prevent the bursting of pipes by
sudden changes of pressure, and ensure
an adequate supply of water In all
parts of the building, no matter how
great the drain on the city mains.
