So Grow WAt0fcfooo.
The cultivated crosses are larger and
superior in flavor to those grown Wild.
and the market for the improved sort
is good, writes w. e. Farmer in Ameri-
good swamp with a fresh water brook
flowing through it on the farm, water
crosses should be cultivated as a side
crop. and II the markets are near by
quite little income can be made from
the crop. The method Of culture Is
simple. although it requires consider
able initial labor to start the beds. The
swamp should first be cleared OF the
trees and bushes as much as possible,
and then be cut up into bitches run
ming parallel to each other and at right
angles. Each ditch should be about
four feet wide ard two feet deep. A
space between the bitches should be
left on either side large enough for
man to pass along to gather the crop.
Cross bitches should intersect these
parallel ones about every 20 feet. All
OF the bitches should start from the
head Of the brook, and the fall in them
should be very slight, SO that the water
will 1ow away very slowly. II one end
OF the swamp Is much lower than an
other the depth Of the bitches should
vary just enough so that the water will
be kept distributed evenly through
them. Everything depends upon hav-
Ing the water under control. II the
swamp is low on one side the mud from
the bitches should be thrown up to
form an embankment. At the lowest
point dam should be constructed to
let OF the water when needed. In the
spring and fall the water will collect
too rapidly, and 1t will be necessary to
drain OF considerable Of the surplus
and good dam will then fully pay for
itself. When the bitches are all ready
the crosses should be planted In the
bottom Of them by securing cuttings
from old beds. The cuttings can often
be taken from the wild crosses In some
neighboring swamp. They will i'm
prove in favor and quality under their
new conditions. They can also be
raised from seeds. and the seeds are
sown broadcast into the bitches. The
cuttings are pushed into the muddy
bottom about a foot apart each way.
They will in a season spread all over
the bottom and form a complete mass
Of green. In the winter and early
spring the plants are harvested for the
market. In doing this care must be
taken not to destroy the plants, but
simply to cut OF the edible part and
leave the root growing. The harvester
should take a bunch in the left hand.
and then with a sharp knife cut of the
stalks about four inches down. The
plants should not be pulled. The cress-
es are packed usually in half-peck
baskets, which in turn are packed IN
crates. In winter these baskets some
times sell as high as 81 apiece. This
is the most profitable time to gather
the crosses for market.

Food Of CuckoOa.

The stomachs Of 100 yellow billed
and 46 black-billed cuckoos obtained in
twenty states. the District of Columbia
and Canada. were examined. In the
report the two species are treated to-
gether since they proved to be very
much alike in diet. The greatest DIFF
ference Is that the yellow-billed cuckoo
eats more beetles and fewer bugs. Tho
examination showed that cuckoos do
at times eat fruit, but that 1t II not
their usual habit. The insect food of
cuckoos consists of beetles, grasshop-
pers, cicadas, bugs. wasps. flies. cater
pillars and spiders. of which grasshop-
pers and caterpillars constitute more
than three-fourths. The great major
ity Of the insects found In the stomachs
were harmful kinds. Nearly half Of
the cuckoo's food was found to be
caterpillars. In the cuckoos we prob
ably have one Of natures most efficient
checks on the increase of these harm

One Trouble with the Fairs.-With
Q few noteworthy exceptions. the an
nual fairs are becoming less and less
Of agricultural value and more and
more festive occasions where people
gather from far and near to meet old
friends and enjoy a holiday. A good
many are FVnning simply to amuse-
ments. and come of them to amuse-
ments of pretty low order. such -
cheap gambling games, which are
licensed and tolerated In defiance of
law, q swarm Of fakirs being permitted
to do as they please. II the farmers
boys who engage in these games do
not become gamblers. it is not the
fault Of the society" which stops at
nothing to I'LL its Golfers. Gambling
games. played openly. blast the morals
Of the community far more than the
much criticised Agricultural boss
trot." Besides. many of the societies
give vaudeville shows with baudy Ian
guage. short skirting and high kicking
which outrivals that of the Bowery
itself. It is high time to refuse state
aid to the so-ealled agricultural So
cieties that engage in this sort Of thing.

price for export. The bacon pig prop

Axrieulture In Paraxuay.

from Paraguay as follows: The people
are beginning to wake to the necessity
Of agricultural development. The farm
ers are widely scattered and there 10
. growing sentiment in favor Of CEN
tralization and of heavy foreign colon

Agricultural bank. gives to each farm,

class that does not own property that

Warning Against Prcservatlves.
E. o. Grosyenor, dairy and food COM
missioner of Michigan. sends out the
following:
We desire to caution dairymen and
dealers In milk against the use in their
products Of the so-called preservatives
now upon the market. Many of these
mixtures are decidedly dangerous. and
the steady absorption of the same, es-
pecially by invalids and children, who
are generally large consumers Of milk.
is likely to produce serious II not fatal
effects. Aside from the directly in
furious character of some of these pre-
servatives, they all tend to retard fer
mentation, thus at least Indirectly
preventing digestion. Science has dem
onstrated that the value of all food
depends very much upon the readiness
with which it is assimilated In the
process of digestion and scientific au-
thorities agree that whatever prevents
decomposition delays digestion. There
are legitimate methods of preserva-
ton which do not involve the use of
noxious drugs and the department will
prosecute dealers in milk found using
these deleterious mixtures.

ANY DOUBT OF THE DEAL!
WELL. HERE ARE FEW MORE PROOFS
OF THE PLATT-CROKER ALLIANCE

OF THE PLATT-CROKER ALLIANCE
A move that was regarded by politicians as
another indication OF the deal between Sena-
tor Plat and Richard Croker was the decision
by the new Aqueduct Commissioners yesterday
to appoint George W. Wagner the Republican
machine leader In the With Assembly District
10 the office OF secretary Of the Commission,
with salary OF about 1000 The first indica-
ton Ct the deal. so far as the Aqueduct Board
Is concerned. was tie removal OF Henry w
Cannon and John ]. Tucker. the two Repub-
llcan members Of the Commission. to make
room for Charles H. Murray and William H.
Ten Eyck, Republican machine district leaders
and supporters Of Mr. Platt. who said to
be badly in need OF places with good salaries
The duties Of the Aqueduct Commissioners are
Hght, but on account OF the power vested In
the Commission to disburse large sums OF
money for the city, IT had been the rule TO ap-
point as members Of the Commission men Of
hlgh character and standing in the community.
Ihe secretary OF the Aqueduct Commission Ia
an officer exempt from Civil Service eXamina-
ton, and the new Commissioners therefore will
run no risk in appointing a man after their
own hearts without the formality of competi-
tive examination. There two other officers
under the Aqueduct Commissioners who can
be displaced without violation OF the Civil Ser
vice rules. the auditor and chief engineer. Sew
eral Republican and Tammany politicians in
need OF places are looking with longing eyes at
the places in the gift OF the Commissioners.
The power Of the Mayor to remove members
Of the A1ueduct Commission for purely political
reasons Is 10 be called In question. although the
Commissioners who were removed are men who
do not need to hold office and would not engage
in scramble for office. John j. Tucker one OF
the Republican Commissioners removed, is TO
bring suit In the courts 10 test the Mayor s
power OF removal and Flihu Root has been re-
tained to conduct the SUI.
