Starting Early Vegetables.

It is time to start some of the earli
er and harder vegetables under glass,
either in dollhouse or greenhouse. New
Englanders and those living in the
northwest need not haste, but farther
south trucking operations were well
under way long ago. Savannah,
Charleston and Norfolk truckers find
the most profit in the earliest crops.
The larger the plants are when taken
from the hotbed to the open ground.
the quicker they will reach maturity
or a marketable size. Tomatoes may
be started in a forcing house, and
grown in flats or pots until nearly
ready to blossom when transplanted,
and so forced along that the first few
bushels may be ready to pick from
two days to a week ahead of the gen.
eral paintings, and a much higher
price realized for them.
Other plants to be started in this
way are egg plant, peppers and the
usual list of harder vegetables, in
Guiding cabbage, caulifower, celery,
kale and sprouts. For supplying a
local market, where the full retail
price can be secured, it will also pay
to start green corn and melons under
glass.

HAY AND STRAW.
They Were Profitable Crops Last
Year and Will Be This Year.


Both long rye straw and good, clean,
bright timothy were profitable crops
last year, and the farmer owning lot
OF each can get satisfactory prices for
either. The demand for straw and hay
for the new colonies and for South
Africa has stimulated the trade con-

mand from liverymen and private sta.
pies. 1t is a fact though that only the
best grade of either hay or straw pays
good profits. The farmer who raises
inferior hay on his place had better

much less than when 1t was harvested
that it will be hard to think that all
the difference is due to shrinkage.
Wheat and oats straw hardly pay to
ship to long distance markets, but
they can enter into the food economy
Of the farm very satisfactorily. l do

In connection with bran and grain.
The animals seem to like it, and 1t
must have fair percentage of nutri-
ment in it. So much of it is wasted
in bedding that the animals will not
touch it, but feed it to them chopped
up, mixed with grain and steamed.
Very few will refuse to eat then. Long
rye straw pays well enough to ship
1t to most any good market. The West
has not deluged the Eastern markets
with long rye straw, and good, fine,
bright straw of this kind is sure to
find good customers.
Hay farmers in New York need to
stir themselves in regard to improving
their hay crop. We used to think of
only trash coming from the west, but
to-day hay of the better class from
Michigan and Wisconsin is equal, If
not superior, to the same grade raised
in the east. On the new lands of those
states it thrives naturally, and pro.
duces a splendid straw and large

vantage of better methods of cutting
but it looks as if some of the Western
farmers have been taking lessons
from the Eastern men in hay curing,
and they sometimes improve on their
work. We have the advantage of
transportation rates in the Eastern
markets, but that does not always
determine the question of profit We
must consider the cost of raising and
the price of land. With hay at SIS to

THEIR OWN MIXTURES.
Smokers Who Have Tobacco Com.
pounded to Suit Their Tastes.

The young and inexperienced are
ever ready to smile incredulously at
the seasoned smoker who offers his
tobacco pouch with the remark TRY
some of my own mixture" In some
cases my own mixture" may only be
the smokers own" in the sense that
he has paid for few ounces of it, but.
in spite of the prevalence of copy
righted and much advertised special
mixtures in these latter days, it seems,
from what one of the most popular
downtown tobaccoists says. that the
habit of buying ones own exclusive
mixture" is not so extinct as might
be supposed.
Here is list of the special mix
lures we make" said this authority,
taking from corner a large card.
You see, there are about fifty of them
on this card. Each mixture is noted
down, all the ingredients and the pro-
portions in which they are to be used,
and over each one is the name of the
customer who first ordered it. The
way of it is that smoker makes his
experiments on different combina-
lions of tobacco until he hits upon
something which just suits him.
Sometimes he buys the ingredients
and mixes them himself, but people
have so much to do nowadays that
more often they tell us what they want
and we do the mixing. 1t takes weeks
sometimes for customer to get to
just what he is aiming at, and, of
course, it is all guesswork in the mean
time.
But you might be surprised to
know how long man will go on using
the same mixture once he has found
what suits him. This first name on
the list does not belong to the mixture
We have been making the longest;
it comes first because the list is al.
phabetically arranged, but that recipe
has been standing there for ten years
to my knowledge. 1t was first ordered
by an Englishman his name still goes
with it, and he is still using it, but
scores of other people also use it who
have never heard of him.
so, you see, it is possible for man
to be using another mans particular
mixture and go on using it for years,
thinking it is his own exclusive mix.
ture all the time. The way some of
these mixtures gain popularity shows
that it isn't quite exactly true that
there are as many different tastes as
tongues, for sometimes what exactly
suits one man seems exactly to suit
a hundred others. When we find a
mixture becoming widely popular we
sometimes make 1t up in quantities.
but only rarely. And that, l suppose,
Is how new mixtures get put on the

brunswick, Me, November a5.-The
beautiful steam yacht Neoka, owned by
Hartley G. Baxter of Brunswick, was al
most destroyed by fire late last nigh,
while on the ways at its winter quarters
on New Meadows river. The cause OF 9
fire is unknown, but the flames were firtt
seen in the forward part of Enc yacht, ard
gained such Roadway that 1t was imp pcs
sinle to extinguish them, although
twenty men were promptly ON the spot
and did their utmost to save the yacht.
AS the yacht had not been entirely hauled
up when the fire took place, tbs cradle
was released and the yacht slid into the
stream. Her engines were not injured,
hut the tide rises and falls through the
yacht at high water. The damage will
be large, but it is covered by Insurance.
The Neoka was built by the Herreshoffs
at Bristol, X. l., In 1888. and has been
the flagship OF the Portland Yacht Club
1t was ons OF the finest pleasure craft OF
