A Group of Newspapers Go Under

MIDDLETowN, CoNN.. Oct. 12-Owing to
the objection of New York creditors to Z. F.
Bigelow of Portland continuing in business,
the Portland and Middetown Tribune offices
were closed this morning. This kills the
Middletown Tribune, the only Republican
daily in this county; the Middlesex County
Record, weekly; the Colchester Advocate,
a weekly; the Wesleyan College Argus, and
several other church and college newspapers,
including the Observer. The failure was
caused by inability to make collections.

FRICTION OF WATER.
Experiments to Determine the Ef-
feet UDOu Pines.

In a series of articles describing the en-
gineering department of.the Yorkshire Col
lege, Leeds, Engineering has given some
particulars Of the results OF experiments
conducted in this institution to ascertain
the effect of the friction Of water in Il
pipe fitted with Sockets, elbows, tees.
bends, and a sudden enlargement.
The experimental pipe was Une-half inch
In diameter; and the friction was measured
by loss of head in the usual way. Ii is
shown in works on hydraulics that the
luSS of head due to resistance of
this nature to the free flow of water in
a pipe may be expressed in terms OF i
length Of plain pipe that will give the
same loss OF head due to friction. Expert
mentS extending over several years show
that the loss Of Hcad resulting from a sock.
ct is equal to that due to from . 10 l.
diameters of the plain pipe; while that
of easy right-angled bends may be from
10 to II diameterS; and that due to sharp
ri right-angled elbows from 80 to SO di
ameters. AT one place, the experimental
pipe Is suddenly enlarged to five times the
regular diameter. The total loss due to
this and the contraction should, by calcu-
lation, be equivalent to the friction of %
feet Of this one-half pipe. ENperimentally,
however, the loss is only equivalent to tine
friction of a length of from / q to l 4
feet. The experiments show the detri-
mental effect of sharp elbows on the dis
charging capacity OF pipe system.

stated that while. owing to the nearness

that Mercury is. like our moon, devbtdsof

Wide Range OF Tobacco.

Probably the tobacco crop this season
has proved as profitable as any farm
product. The markets have been very
firm and active all this fall, and the
prices realized are very satisfactory, es-
pecially for the best grades of Havana
leaf and seed. Tobacco can be cultivated
over a much wider range Of territory
than many seem to expect. Twenty
years ago very few northern states raised
tobacco. except in isolated parts Of Con-
necticut, but today Pennsylvania, New
York and Wisconsin tobacco is in con-
siderable demand. More recently south
ern Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
have come to the front as good tobacco
states, and thousands Of farmers are
making good living from the plant.
But, as a writer in The American
Cultivator explained, 1t does not pay to
raise inferior tobacco, for the taste of
smokers Is becoming more critical every
year. "The labor required to put the to-
bacco into marketable shape is great,
but as this comes chiefly in the winter
season no farmer should complain. A
farmer should consequently raise at
least two crops, one Of tobacco and one
OF some other profitable plant. The soils
that give the best results with tobacco
arc sandy loam, we'll drained and very
rich. The soil must be deep and warm,
and consequently we'll drained"

SIX CROPS IN ONE YEAR.

Three OF Corn. Two OF Potatoes and On~
OF Turnips.
To grow and harvest six crops Of grain
and vegetables ON the same field in one
season ~ triumph in farming that does
not come to many. But an Alabama
farmer tells in The American Agricul-
turist that he has a neighbor who grows
annually six crops Of corn, potatoes and
turnips on the same piece Of ground.
He manures heavily with stable manure
and plows deep in February, planting
first Early Rose potatoes in rows Q feet
apart. AS soon as the young vines are
large enough, he gives them q good
working with plow, leaving an open
furrow between the rows. In this fur
row early corn Is planted, the ground
being again we'll fertilized in the hill.
The potatoes begin to mature in May,
and as these are gathered, a second
planting Of corn is made in the rows
from which the potatoes have been tax
en-. In the digging of the latter the
early planted corn is given good work
ing BY the time the second planting is
ready to plow, the first one has matured
in roasting ears, and the stalks are cut
up and fed to live stock, or cured and
stored for winter forage. The ground
upon which this first corn crop is grown
is now opened again with the plow, the
second planting given good working.
and third corn crop isplanted between
the two foot rows, a good manuring in
the hills being given as before.
When the second planting Of corn
comes into maturity and the roasting
ears and stalks have been harvested, the
ground is plowed again, and in the rows
where the second crop of corn grew is
planted a second crop Of Irish potatoes
in furrows well filed again with good
fertilizers. This planting is usually
made early in September, the crop ma
turing in November. The third planting
of corn comes in as late roasting ears.
When this crop has been gathered as be-
fore, the ground is again fertilized and
plowed, and turnips are sown between
the potatoes. This crop is ready for
harvesting in December, thus making
six crops in one year, three of corn, two
OF potatoes and one Of turnips.
This system has been kept up without
variation for five years, and the ground
has shown no deterioration. On the con-
trary, it appears to be steadily increas-
ing in fertility and productiveness, the
result Of six annual fertilizations and
the deep and thorough tillage given in
the various groupings. The system, how
ever, is possible only in low latitude
and where killing frosts seldom appear
between the middle Of March and the
10th Of November.

water Protection From Frost,

The Country Gentleman calls atten-
tion to suggestive fact stated In con.
nection with the Florida freeze which
may prove OF considerable practical i'm
portance- in subtropical cultivation. IL
is stated that the SO acre orange grove
OF White 6 Leonard, near Hastings eta
tion, In northeastern Florida, was saved
by flooding the bitches with artesian
water. Mr.. j. @. White was one of the
first farmers in Florida to put down
artesian wells, and he found that he
could raise the temperature Of his fields
eight degrees by flooding his bitches.
A grove near by, which also had water
protection. was slightly damaged, be-
cause the water had not been turned ON.
In time. Other groves in the neighbor-
hood without such protection suffered
severely. An artesian we'll in that re-
gton costs but little, as an immense vol
ume Of water, believed to be from un-
derground drainage Of the Appalachian
chain of mountains, underlies Florida,
forces itself to the surface in springs
that are rivers, flows southwark and in
undates all southern Florida with flow
ing, fresh water, producing the distin-.
gushing characteristics Of the Ever
glades.
If difference Of eight degrees in tenn
perature can be produced in this way, it
may obviate damage by frost over q
large area in all but extremely excep-
tiopal cases occurring at long intervals
and involving only the northern part Of
Florida. Nine years ago was the last in
furious frost, which was the worst in
81 previous winters, and the settlers,
after such exemption, were courageous
enough to go on with planting and cul.
tivation, with results that have proved
very successful

Shallow Frames Versus Deep Frames Fc
wintering Honey Bees.

Shallow Frames Versus Deep Frames For
wintering Honey Bees.
First. Of the depth or
shallowness of the frames, does the
amount Of comb which the cluster of a
colony covers at the beginning of win
ter, if about four-fifths filed with hon
ey, suffice for it's needs, without the
cluster moving lengthwise until the sea-
son enables it to do SO readily2
Second.-Is there any essential con-
tradiction between the maxim "Deep
frames are better for winterin9'' and
the fact that colonies have wintered
we'll in very shallow hives, such as the
Bingham?
The beekeeeper who asked the fore.
going questions Of The American Bee
journal, also gave his own idea in the
matter. He said: My idea is that very
shallow frames succeed when they are
filled with honey. or nearly so, and deep
frames succeed because they have enough
honey in their tops, and that in neither
case the cluster moves lengthwise in Sc
we're weather."
The reply from Charles Dadant and
son was: IF the place occupied by the
cluster, in shallow hive, was filed
four-fifths with honey, there would be
no room for the bees either to breed or
to cluster, as they do not like to cluster
on the honey, probably owing to the fact
that it is much colder than the empty
comb. The back part of the hive would
then be filed all the way down, and we
would consider that the colony was run
ming some risk, more so than a colony
that had less honey under the cluster.
In addition to this we will say that
we do not believe that colony can have
hive as full as mentioned above and be
strong, as the bees must of necessity have
filled this space during the honey flow,
and there is usually about two months
between that date and the opening of
the cold weather in which they breed
1lore or less to keep up numbers. Bees
i'll very shallow frames with us do not
winter so well as in large ones, as rule,
and the fact that "they have wintered
we'll" is not an evidence that they Win
ter as we'll as in the deeper ones.
G. II. Dibbens replied: 81. think
$50. 2. No; the severity Of the weather,
strength Of colony and the quality of
food have more to do with successful
wintering than the shape Of the hive"
M. Mahin said: 81. Yes and no; it
depends on the latitude and the charac-
ter Of the weather; in some cases the
honey in reach, If there were none above
the cluster. would be all consumed, and
the bees would starve. 3. do not see
any"
DR.. J. p. II. Brown and G.. M. Doo-
little thought the questions had been
we'll answered by the propounder of
them. Professor A. ]. Cooks experience
tailed with the questioning beekeeper's
conclusions.
W. X. Graham said: 81. It is all
sufficient in this locality. Q. would
prefer deep frames for wintering."
