MILK PROJECT DELAYED.

Last week the NEWS published let ter from E. G. Seeley, director of New Haven Route Union, to the effect that the Milk Association had just closed a deal with capitalists who would buy the milk produced in this section.
 The NEWS regrets today to announce thst the milk project is delayed, and that the deal "hangs fire" at prSent. The NEWS is permitted to make the fol- lowing extracts from letter written by Mir See1ey last Friday to an officer of one of the local unions in this section:
 liam sick and have been here in New York for two days pasta little better today. do not feel like writing, but know you are all anxiously await ing results here in New York. I do not think there is the least prospect of the Company handling milk here in New York this spring. They are not ready. aud would not advlse the attempt. They have never done what some of us thought necessary to be done on the start and which they assured us they would do If we would get our part ready They do not come to time not withstanding their urgent request last week Thursday night that we get up out of our beds at 10 p. m. and wire all over the country that the deal was closed etc. ..
 They have been putting us of day after day for week, and have given 1t up for the present. advise that we remain thoroughly organized, and await the development of some plans already on foot, and be prepared to do little later what we now cannot do.
 Of course this leaves the matter of disposing of the milk largely in the hand of each individual milk producer for the present. I would not advise making contracts long in advance. I feel con- fident of our ultimate success if we keep our organization in good shape"

Married in Decem ber,

Later information from Millerton, N. Y., states that George Rivele and Mrs Margaret F. Smith were married there in December by Rev W. A. King who did not know the woman had husband living. It seems that the marriage was contracted through ignorance of the marriage laws as both Rivele and Mrs Smith thought they had right to marry. The trial for bigamy will be at Litchfeld next Wednesday.

The average yield has been about Il tons of beets to the acre, and the price per ton has ranged from four to seven dollars. The latter figure was paid for beets that contciacd the re markedly high per cent. of 90; the lower price was given fer these tkct graded only 12 per cent. Of sugar. The amounts received by the growers ranged from &44 10 $77 per acre. The average amount of beets grown by each farmer was only about 37 tons, showing tat less than four acres were planted, ol the average. But the profit irom this email area was from $50 to &200-morc, prob ably, than that. derived from all the re mainder Of the farm.

Fatten the fowls just as quickly a.s possible. When the fattening process is begun, stuff them.
 Are those broken window lights re- placed by whole ones to keep out the wet and cold that will soon be here?
 When the wings arc cut, the feathers do not renew until the bird molts, but where the feathers are pulled new feathers will appear in a short time.
 Secure q quantity of leaves for the hens to scratch in this winter. Place them in the hen house and scatter the grain therein. The fowls will get need ed exercise in hunting for it.
 Examine the poultry buildings thor oughly. See if the roofs will last dur ing the winter; look at the walls and close the cracks. Clean up, whitewash, and give the place a general overhaul ing.

KITCHEN POTS AND PANS.
Modern Cooking Utensils Are Rot Very DUraJ5Ie-POfnts to Com
 slider.

There has been great change in
 cooking since those primitive days
 when the kneading trough or bowl of
 wood, the kettle that hung over the open fire and the earthenware or clay pipkins were the only kitchen dishes. The invention of stoves has filled cur kitchens with multitudes of pots and pans inferior to the cid ones, which lasted a lifetime, and sometimes several generations. Modern utensils Of the best kind will not bear such test.
 In the rush to obtain variety in cook
 ing utensils the special use to which
 the dish is to be put and the fitness of . the material Of which it is made for
 the purpose for which it is designed are often overlooked. 4 pct intended for slow cookery, like one for cooking dried
 fruits or vegetables, should be made of thick earthenware. One intended for cooking meats should be first of all a
 good conductor of heat, therefore a copper kettle will do the work of pre- pairing a stew or praised dish more ex- peditiously than pot of ircn. Iron is a wholesome metal, but it is so heavy that it ought to be discarded for kitchen purposes whenever it can be, as it is an indifferent conductor of heat. Copper is also heavy. but it is such an excellent heat conductor that 1t is generally em- ployed. by expert cooks for all superior cooking, baking dishes as well as pots and saucepans. In aluminium we have the ideal metal of the kitchen. T. is good conductor of heat, and it is ideally light in weight and does not become tarnished, as copper and all other met als do. The price of aluminium still keeps it out of the reach of many kitchens, but the time must soon come when all obstacles to it's manufacture at low price will be done away with, and the kitchen of the poorest woman in the land will be furnished with shin ing lightweight kitchen pots and pans equal to those of a kings palace.-N.

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Some of the Gowns and Wraps That Are Announced for the Spring
 Season.

The frills and graduated founces added to the fur capes and cloaks of the season do not in the least enhance their rich appearance; on the contrary, the arrangement suggests a compromise with fashion and look as if the addition had been made to lengthen out the gar ment. Plaited and crumpled-top fur ruffies arching from shoulder to shouI- der. give q humpiness 10 the figure hat is most undesirable though Unfortu- nately fashionable; and those who de nounce distending steel springs and canvas and buckram are made to groan
