QUESTION BOX,

To question as to which is the best
strawberry for market?
Mr.. Hale said there is no "best
strawberry.
| Asked for half a dozen of the best
Splendid, Candy, Pride of Columbia
and Haverland.
! The best market grapes Mr.. Hale
named as Worden, Concord and Maya
| IA.
| How and in what way are peach yell
| lows controlled?
| Mr.. Hale-The larger growers pull out
diseased trees as soon as possible, and
| thus prevent its spread In small orch
ards 1t is doing immense damage as
the owners are ignorant or not alert.
Experimental Inquiry Upon Milk Sc
erection.
Professor Charles D. Woods. former
ly of Storrs college, but now of Orono,
Me-, delivered an exceedingly interest
ing lecture upon the above subject from
a scientific standpoint.
There are no signs that can be relied
upon to tell a profitable dairy cow, al
though an opinion may be formed. The
scales and Babcock test are reliable.
Following Professor Woods Miss
Katherine Murphy, with Mrs. A. Heat
on Robertson as accompanist, sang 'In
Loves Service Meyer Helmund: At
Parting, Rogers, and The Rosary New
in.
The convention then took up Profess
sor Woods lecture for discussion.
O. B. Hadwin of Worcester, Mass,
thought the quality of food affected the
quality of milk
Professor Woods read from renort
upon an exhaustive experiment with
more than 1000 cows, showing that the
quality of milk depended upon the
COW, and not the food
Vice President Seeley thought that
food would affect the quality of milk.
Governor Hoard said the Wisconsin
experiment station had spent thousands
of dollars trying to change the per-
centage of butter fat in milk and If
could not be done.
Professor Phelps of Storrs COLLAGE
thought the difference of opinion was
now owing to difference of intarpreta-
tlon, rather than difference in facts.
MI COLD gave notice that the MEM
bers of the convention were invited to
visit Yale university on Friday fore
noon.
Mr.. Human moved that the invita-
ton be accepted and the thanks return
ed for the invitation.

Mr.. Hale moved vote of thanks to
the orchestra, which was unanimously
ipassed by a rising vote after being
lamended to instruct Secretary. Gold TO
isend the Y. M G. A. barrel of the best
apples to be found on Cream Hill
On the subject Lessons of Pomolo-
tgy'' j. Fl. Hale in the course of his re-
marks said that while there might be
germs in milk or other food, the fruits
came from the trees and vines pure.
When it comes to quantities, California
produces seventy million pounds of
Iraisins and ten million boxes of oranges,
while our people pay for the little
| strawberry $70,00O000 annually.
Mr.. Hale criticised the taking of the
United States census regarding pomol-
ogy in Connecticut, in that the census
taker was perfectly innocent of all
knowledge of the subject.
| Speaking of fruit growing in other
states, Mr.. Hale said that the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad people were en-
| couraging the planting of fruit trees in
western Maryland and West Virginia
| in order to build up business along the
line of the road
The instructions of the superintendent
of the industrial department were to let
himself loose and if possible have some
thing growing for sale on every mile of
the road. Mr.. Hale said the Connect
cut farmer should see that every rod of
his farm was growing something for
sale or home consumption.
The greatest bloom of fruit trees ever
known was that of 1900, but this did not
insure a phenomenal crop. Frost in
some localities, drouth in others and
excessive wet weather in still others
made the crop barely an average. The
lessons of the drouth with us taught
steady cultivation, with trees farther
apart
There are statistics Published that are
a little misleading sometimes. For in
stance, the Apple Shippers Association
last fall said there We're to be hum
dred million barrels of apples, and
bought fruit low Of the growers on that
basis.
Mulching and culture are, in connec-
ton, extremely beneficial to fruit trees.
The best apples grown in the world to-
day are grown in New England. One
of the largest fruit buyers in New
York asserts that he shall buy no more
apples grown west of the Hudson river
if he can buy New England apples.
Mr.. Hale thinks there Is no so sure
investment for Connecticut capital as
buying what are known as abandoned
farms and setting them out with trees
to yield good red apples. He has just
set thirty-five hundred such trees in
New Haven county.
The packing of apples in barrels is
about going out of practice; bushel box
es will be used In the future.
Labels on packages giving guarantee
of quality were a help when first intro
duced, but so many people fail to I'M
derstand that it is dishonest and buy |
and refill the labelled packages with in
ferior fruits that the value of the label |
is destroyed.

WON'T WITHDRAW TROOPS.
But Gov. Taylor Says Legislators VIII
Be Unmolested.

Frankfort, Feb. Ex-Governor Tay-
lor last night sent message to the
members of the committee appointed
under the Crenshaw resolution to de-
mand the withdrawal of troops from
Frankfort and his vacation of the Of
flee of governor to Governor Beckham.
The reply stated the troops would not
be removed as their presence was con-
sidered essential to the preservation of
life and property. Assurance was
given, however, that the members Of
the legislature would not be molested
in the discharge of their duty.
The action of Judge Taft; in deny
ing federal jurisdiction in the contests
for minor places on the state ticket
did not discourage Gov. Taylor in the
least. He contends the matter has
nothing whatever to do with his own
case. The suit of Beckham VS.. Taylor
for possession Of the Office of governor
was filed in the circuit court at Frank

The thousands of visitors to Florida
whose opportunities for travel have
been shortened and whose Indignation
has taken on explosive qualities at
the discovery that they were held
up by the Florida railroads for and
> cents mile instead of the and 3
cents charged in other states-will re-
joice in recent order of the state
railroad commission limiting the maxi
mum fare to cents. The companies
at first rebelled, but on suit being
brought found it wise to obey. Unless
one can afford to get about and enjoy
an occasional change of scenery, a
winter in Florida is apt to be tire
some; hence the cheaper rates will be
boon to multitudes, and probably
more profitable than the old ones to
the railroads as we'll.

years ago occurred the loudest noise
ever heard on the earth in historic

which converted the Dutch island of
Krakatoa into fine dust floating in the
higher atmosphere, and 1t is said that
every Dutchman swelled with pride at
the thought that his country was re-
sponsible for so distinguished phe-
nomenon. The fine sunsets produced
several years afterwsrd by the absorb

dust, II we are to believe tie new in

for. In common with other kindred

faces of sensitive people and irritates
the eyes. throat. mouth and bronchial
tubes in much the same way, we take
1t. as the dust of various vegetab,s 2

to depend on the efforts of the ves-
