The bitches should have about three
inches of fall to the 100 feet. At the
upper end Of the gravelditch place six
inch tile and keep it full of water dur
ing the dry time. Also place line OF
tile at the lower end Of the ditch to act
as drain during wet weather. Place
the gravel bitches about six or twelve
feet apart and about two feet deep. On
a small scale for gardening this plan
will work very well.-J. b. Hill, In
Orange Judd Farmer.

There is nothing more provoking
than trying to cook with partially green
wood. So much more wood has to be
burned to overcome the waste in turn
ing the moisture In green wood to
steam that more heat is given out than

farmer to have a years wood cut and
piled always In advance Of its use.
When this is once begun there is real
saving in labor, az less OF the dry

All the necessity for care Is not end
ed when the hen Is duly installed In her
three weeks task, and Is sitting faith
fully. The Asiatic breeds of fowls, in
Guiding such crosses as the Plymouth
Rock. are so persistent In sitting that
unless the poulterer tempts them on
to eat they may addle the eggs by too
much warmth and exclusion Of the air.
The egg Is porous, and the young chick
must get all the mir II requires
through the shell. As Matching time
approaches, there is less danger of adj
ding the eggs by cold, even II the hen
is Off some time. The warmth from the
chick will keep the egg from getting
cold, anyway. Sprinkling the eggs
with tepid water is useful where the
sitting Is too persistent.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
and constant reader of your valuable paper
of publishing a few remarks regarding the
editorial, prince Bismarcks Despond-
ency,' which appeared in The Star a few
days ago. A great newspaper like The
Star, so uniformly fair in its discussion of
public men and affairs, and usually so well
informed on all topics of the day, is GER
ing Germany and the German emperor, and
the only reason for it's structures on the
latter Is, believe, that 1t sees everything
concerning him through English and
French glasses. There never was a public
man SO persstently abused and so relent-
lessly prosecuted by a large part of the
public press as the German emperor is,
and all through prejudice because the dire
predictions Of failure. war. political and
commercial ruin, made by a large part of
the continental press, ably seconded by
English newspapers. have failed, and the
contrary has been the result.
What are the charges, and what are the
facts?
That he has tried first one thing and then
another? That is no reflection on his ca
pability or his honesty. All his critics adj
init that he Is sincere. He does what other
statesmen observes his country as he
thinks is best, submitting his views to his
ministers, and through them to the reich
stag. If that body fails to pass the meas
ures, he is relieved from all responsibility
He has always acquiesced in the judgment

Peach feliows In Connecticut.

. H. Hale III Hartford Courant.
The yellows has broken out with great
Viruience in many Large peach orchards,
and on the whole there is not quite the
hopeful feeling among the growers that
there was a few years ago. There are a
good many young orchards yet to come into
bearing, so that it is probable that each
year for the next three or four Will see an
increase of yield from the Connecticut
orchards The lower prices and the con-
tinued spread of the yellows will probably
discourage much further planting, so it is
probable that within two or three years we
shall have reached the full high tide of the
present peach boom The next legislature
will probably be asked to re-enact the vel
lows law, which this industry and all in
telligent cultivators demand. Most of the
commercial OIchardists for their own pro-
lection have kept right pulling and
burning diseased trees as soon as dis
covered but driving about the state with
ones eyes open can be seen in private
gardens yellow-infected trees on almost
every mile of country Travelled. AS there
is now no way to force their removal, most
of them will remain to hinder their owners
attempt to grow more and better peaches
as well as poison the air of all the neigh
borhood. Constant agitation may bring
enlightenment, and with it greater success.
