NEWS OF THE STATE


The revival of the iron industry in
New Jersey presents some interesting
facts. The investigations of the State
Geological Department show that the
total amount of iron produced for the
year 1900 was 407, 800 tons, an in
crease of 105, 600 tons over the year
1889. Looking backward, Professor
Henry II. Hummel, the Assistant State
Geologist, finds that in 1870, five years
after the beginning of iron mining in
New Jersey, the product of the State
was 10000 tons. The turning point in
the iron industry was reached in 1855,
when it is estimated that 100000 tons
We're mined. After 1865 there was Il
steady increase until 1873, when 60J.-
O0O tons were mined. At this time,
however. there was a gradual decrease
in the output because of a curtailed
demand for iron. The product fuctu-
ated until 1880, when it ran up to
I45,0O0 tons. In 1882 the greatest rec
ord was made, when 1872, 1862 tons were
mined. Then began another decline.
The reaction came during the year
1900, because high prices no longer
prevailed. Some mines were closed
and remained closed, but others, hav-
ing made extensive preparations for
the work. could not afford TO stop, and
continued, keeping as many men en-
ployed as was possible. AT the end
OF the year 1900 fourteen of the impor-
tant mines were in operation.

Renovate the Old Orchard.

There are many old and some mid
dle-aged orchards, once profitable, but
now sources of loss. At the same time
there are men in New York State who
are investing labor and capital In reno
waiting such orchards, and find 1t a pay
ing business. VIII 1t not pay some of
us who have land occupied by neglect
ed and unproduetiye apple trees to
give them another and q fair chance?
Let me outline a curse of treatment
for such trees for this season.
/. The trees need pruning. This
should be done at once. First take out
all the dead, diseased and interfering
branches; remove all suckers and
sprouts from the bases and trunks of
the trees. Second, serape off the rough
'est Of the old bark with an old hoe or
other suitable. tool, being careful not to
injure or expose the live parts beneath.
2. The trees need spraying. The
first spray should be given before the
buds burst. Use Bordeaux mixture.
Consult spray calendar. Continue the
spraying as directed.
8. The trees need tillage. The sod
should be thoroughly pulverized. This
may be accomplished, If the sod is not
tough, by using a springtooth harrow
or disc harrow. II sod is tough and
dense, turn it over with a pillow and
work down fine with a harrow. Plow
away from trees and as shallow as pos
sible near them. Till at least once in
ten days up to the middle of July.
A. The trees need fertilizlng. Fertil.
izers may be furnished through green
manures. During the last half of July
harrow and drill COW peas at the rate
of one and a half bushels per acre. If
drilling is impracticable, broadcast,
rolling the ground afterward. The In
terest In the experiment may be in
creased by using different cover-crops;
for instance, GOV peas on one part.
Canada peas on another and crimson
clover on a third.
5. Record your observations. In or
der to obtain an accurate idea of the
value of the experiment a prolt-and-
loss account should be kept. Charge
the field with cost of labor and mate
rails used, and credit 1t with the re-
turns. An immediate response in the
way of a crop of fruit should not be
e~xpected-this should come the second
year-but the trees win, in the mean
time, take on renewed vigor and APP
pearance Of health.-John Craig, in the
Country Gentleman.

The main thing in building any silo,
either of slaves or boards, is to secure
timber that Is free from rotten knots
and decayed centres. Select good
chestnut, which will outlast most lum-
Der, and have 1t cut from comparative
ly old, well-matured trees. If we'll
seasoned timber there will be little
likelihood of the structure warping
and drawing In summer when empty.
AS a foundation for the silo make an
excavation fully three feet in depth
and at least two feet wider than the
sllo walls. Fill this excavation with
small stones, and mix enough good &C.
ment with them to make it solid and
firm. Then top over with a mixture of
n part cement to two parts clean,
coarse sand. On this foundation the
frame of the silo can be built. Such a
flooring will be permanent and not give
way until several structures have
rotted and tumbled down. With good
chestnut slaves or lumber fitted and
matched snugly together the sllo will
be well built and alright. The inside
of the sllo should be painted with hot
gas tar and the outside with metallic
paint. The roof should be made
double, with roofing paper spread be
tween the walls and painted with gra-
phite paint. In this way the silo will
shed water and prove practically as
tight as needed. Earring the inside Of
the silo not only helps to exclude air
and moisture, but 1t prevents rotting
of the wood and destroys insects that
live in many woods.
In filling the silo the corn should be
cut at the glazing period. The cutting
and filling should then be carried on as
rapidly as possible, so that the last of
the crop will not get too old before 1t
can be harvested. The corn for the
silo should be planted in rows about
three feet apart. and one foot apart in
row. If properly planted and replant-
ed early enough every stalk should
reach a good size and produce an ear.
The silo should be filed as soon as pos
sible after the corn has reached the
proper stage, and then If rightly han
died not a pound of 1t should be vast
ed. A good deal of the waste in the
silo IN from carelessness. The
rain, moisture and air must be ex-
Guided from the silo, but freezing and
thawlng should not injure the ensilage
In winter or spring. Good ensilage
should be as nourishlng and palatable
In the spring as In the early part of
winter.-James S. Wilson, in American
Cultivator.

AT a recent meeting of the Paris
Academy of Sciences a paper was read
by NJ. II. Sebert on the scientific utii-
ity of an auxiliary international IAN
guage. This language should be capa-

Judge Bell Takes the Case From the Jury
and Orders a Verdict For the Defend
ant The Plaintiff, in Her $4,000
Libel Suit. Did Not Produce a Single
Witness-TriaI Ends Suddenly.
Boston, Mass,-After long argument
Judge Charles V. Bell directed the
jury in the suit of Mrs. Josephine G.
Woodbury. against Mary Baker G.
Eddy for $150,000 for alleged libel to
bring in n verdict for the defendant.
The important question before the
Court was that Of the admissibility of
evidence relating to the publication of
Mrs. Eddy's copyrighted annual mes
sage in the Boston Herald. After
long arguments by counsel for both
sides, Judge Bell ruled that he saw
nothing in the evidence to authorize
the jury to find that Mrs. Eddy stood
in the relation of principal and agent
to the person who gave out the copy
of that message to the Boston Herald.
This ruling left the plaintiffs case
trembling in the balance, as it was
desired to show by the publication in
the Herald a connection of the de-
PENDANT with the alleged libel. Judge
Bell ruled in favor of the plaintiff in
regard to the admission of letters be-
tween Mrs. Eddy and Mrs. Woodbury..
But all that the plaintiff could prove
by these was malice.
Mrs. Woodbury., on the witness
stand, was permitted to say what was
the belief of Christian Scientists re-
garding Mrs, Eddy and her mission on
earth. She said that Christian Scien-
lists believed in the infallibility of
Mrs. Eddy and of science and
health" and the necessity of accept
ing both of these in order to become a
member of the church; also that Mrs.
Eddy was especially selected by God,
and was the special object of Chris
tan Science as Christ was of the
Christian religion. Furthermore, that
she was the woman mentioned in Rev
elation who had the crown of stars en-
her head.
When the plaintiffs case rested a
long argument followed on the motion
Of Mr.. Elder, counsel for the defend
ant, that a verdict be ordered for the
defence on the evidence as it stood.
In ruling on this motion Judge Eel
said;
Taking the libel itself, l ran see
nothing which car fairly be said to in
dicate the plaintiff ii the first part CT
the libel. The only thing which Gems
to me could connect the libel with the
plaintiff was the fact that she was a
widow. Even that does not seem to
be suf1cielt, and it seems to me that
the plaintiff has net made cut 4 case"
A verdict for Mrs. Eddy W l9then
ordered.

The philadelphIa Record observes

The Philadelphia Record observes
that a telegram from Williams Bay.
Wis, announces the discovery by Pro
fessor Nichols that the earth receives
a measure of heat from the stars. 1t
is now at least thirty years since the
same discovery wasannounced by Pro-
fessor Higgins; ~ of the foremost of
English astronomers. An instrument
which was invented by him gave very
positive response to the heat rays OF
the fixed stars. Perhaps Professor
Nichols has constructed a radiometer
of his own, and he may have received
notably measurable results, but there
can be no doubt about the priority of
Professor Huggins's demonstration
concerning stellar heat.
