Notes.

Cultivation of young trees should
not be continued at this time of the
year; let the growth. Of trees and
vines become hardy and woody and
more able to Withstand the yicissi-
tudes of winter. s@s
The objection to seeding down an
orchard to grass is that it. takes from
the soil the moisture needed by the
trees, and when allowed to grow close
to the trees seems to choke them.
Glover does not have this effect, nor
does it usually make a rank growth
under the trees. It rather tends to re-
tain moisture by it's shade. FL:
Farmers are disposed to defer until
spring much of the work that could
be done before that season arrives. On
the opening Of warmer weather all the
work must be HURRIED and a dozen
jobs seem to be ready for the farmer
to perform at the same time, which
delays planting to a later period than
should be the case. 15 IS
The best root is more easily injured
by frost than any other. It should al
ways be harvested before freezing
weather. Nearly all varieties OF beets
grow well out of the ground, and il,

Farm Rats.

The loss Of grain On a farm from
rats is quite an item, as they destroy
a portion other than that consumed.
The corn crib should be made rat
proof, and all harboring places made
disagreeab BILE to them. They can be
prevented to a certain extent by traps,
poison and other devices, but the best
method, if possible, is to provide no
harboring places for them.

Failures With Incubators.

Too much curiosity and anxiety is
the. cause of many failures that occur
with incubators. The most difficult
part Of the operation is to abstain
from interference with the egg drawer.
just at the time Of the coming out of
the shell changes of temperature in
the incubator are fatal to the young
chicks. 1t is we'll known. that when
a hen is ON the nest engaged in hatch
ing nothing will induce her to expose
the egg after she is aware that the
chicks are coming out. She will leave
the eggs at other times, to get food
and water, but not when the. chicks
are Matching. The same rule applies
to the incubators. AS soon as the eggs
begin to hatch close the drawer and
keep it closed until as many Of the
chicks are out as can be expected and
there will be fewer of them die in the
shell. 1nquisitive neighbors, who wish
to be gratified should be told that they
cannot be accommodated. Keep the
drawer shut and have patience. The
result will be more satisfactory than
would be the case if the chicks were
exposed to changes occasionally.

Root killing.


Many inquiries are being made as to
the cause of the entire destruction of
grape vines which have been planted
one and two years. It is because they
have been root-killed by freezing out
during the winter. In many instances
old vineyards have suffered and have
been killed out very badly. Last fall
the ground froze up dry, and remained
in that condition all winter and thaw.
ed out in the same way. There is prob
ably nothing harder on vegetation
than this condition of the soil during
the winter, and nothing can be more
injurious to the roots. The same cause
produced great destruction of clover,
and induced large amount Of root
injury that made vegetation start very
slowly in the spring and in an en-
feebled condition.
The prevention of root-killiDg is not
very difficult. Good cultivation should
be practiced all summer, and in the
fall young vines should be- covered
with considerable amounts Of earta,
reaching q foot and half around the
crown Of the plant Young plants
should be ridged with plow or bank
ed in newly planted plats. Rather
deep planting is also a preventive
measure. =

Pumpkins.

Most all kinds of live stock do well
on pumpkins mixed with their daily
ration, and relish them as well. We
are inclined to think that the feeding
value of pumpkins is generally under
estimated. When fed to COWS they
stimulate a large milk flow, and with
a light grain ration the quality of but
ter is very fine. Pork is always better
when some pumpkins are fed along
with the grain. The pumpkin crop is
a very cheap one when grown with
corn, and several tons of this food
could be produced annually in corn
fields that grow nothing but corn per
farmer.

WATER A~GITATIoNs

From the Tribune of this morming.)
If the health of Jersey City's Inhabitants
is to be maintained, and if there is any
desire to attract home-seekers from other
towns, a water supply of pure quality
and ample quantity mus be guaranteed.
Whether or not the contract now pending
is the best that can be obtained under the
existing circumstances is a problem h
it would be hard to answer here posi-
lively and conscientiously. But the people
know that they have for years been clam
oring for pure water, and that time after
time the realization Of their hopes has
been thrown further ack There is no
doubt that the municipality could have
got a water plant eight years ago for
s2,000,O00 less than 1t can be obtained to-
day.
Whatever the city does should be done
with the ultimate intention Of ownership.
as Ut would be intolerable to look forward
indefinitely to the purchase of water from
a monopoly at whose mercy the munich
pality WOuld be.
Talking about water contracts calls to
mind the bargain between Newark n
the East Jersey Water Company, by
which that city is to get a $4,000, 900 gall
Ion plant for $1,000, 900. When the contract
was made there was a terrible outburEt
of feeling In spite Of the powerful fnfal-
ences used to keep it in check. It Was
generally said that Newark was paying
1ieved that an exceedingly large percent
g of the purchase price was going IN the
shape of corruption money. However all
that may be, neither Newark, Jersey City
nor any other municipality could make
such q contract today FOR $6.Q00,00Q.

WORTH OF AMERICAN ARTISTS,
MRS. Craig Lectures At Hasbrouck

Mrs. L. M. Craig delivered a lecture
yesterday afternoon at Hasbrouck Hall,
on American Artists" She said:-"We
are apt to think of art abroad and ut
terly forget that there are American
artists. We should not consider artists
foreign because they live in Paris or
Rome. Was Browning less an English
man because he lived in Venice when
he wrote his beautiful poems? Are our
artists less Americans because they paint
in Europe2 They are obliged to live
there. There is such a craze among
Americans for foreign artists that to sell
their pictures our artists must go abroad. :
Mrs. Craig had a number of stereopticon
views of American artists and their views
which she showed, telling while the pic
lures Were on the screen about the meth
DDS of the artists. Whistler was the first
artist discussed. He is Known as a figure
painter and has made a name for himself
in that line. ]. g. Brown Is known as
a painter of New York street boys. His
York; they would never be mistaken for
Brooklyn or Jersey City boys. In one
thing, said Mrs. Craig. Brown Is UNI

Is known as a sketcher and water-color-
ist- He had a mania for collecting cos
TUNES and curios and has often been
found attired in some favorite costume.
Gay has painted many pictures OF peo-
pie n ugly peasants which are very
true to life. Remington is known as
the painter of American Indians and
horses In action. He was the first to
paint horses in action. and he did 1t be-
fore the days of snapshots. Hitchcock
paints many pictures of Dutch women.
Mrs. Craig also showed on the screen
his picture of the Annunciation, a study
in purple and white, that has taken high
honors.
Chase has taken more American sub
jects than any other American artist.
One of the most beautiful Of portraits is
that of his little girls. Chace has start
ed a summer school for outdoor study
In the Shinnecock Hills. Last winter he
spent in Spain and painted several Span
ish subjects. Kenyon Cox paints nude
studies. His pictures are often gross n
not always pleasing. Church frequent
1y paints NEUROLOGICAL subjects. His
Pandora was the picture Mrs. Craig
showed. He prefers painting his subject
in draperies rather h a gowns. Harri-.
son is the finest marine painter living.
He lives by the sea and his moods are
said to be affected by its condition. Mrs.
Craig showed the. picture, The Pill
