Culture of Tobacco

The department of agriculture has,
for the past three years, been making
extensive experiments in specialized
tobacco culture in various states. In
Connecticut many acres have been
covered with canvas stretched over
frames in an endeavor to duplicate
the famous and expensive Sumatra
tobacco and these tests have been
wOndrously successful. In South
Florida considerable acreages are
being planted to Cuban cigar tobacco,
and now Secretary Wilson receives
word from his experts in Eastern
Texas that conditions of soil and
climate have been found which act
ually produce the finest Cuban tobac-
co. Samples grown have been sub
mitted to leaf dealers and brokers in
New York and Philadelphia, and
they have pronounced them the Gu
ban leaf with the peculiar and char
acteristic aroma of the Cuban tobacco,
The expert tobacco men who have
been studying the matter are enthus
iastic over the possibilities of produc
ing in our own Southwest these high
est grade tobaccos. Further and NOR,
exhaustive experiments, however
will be made by the government
before any encouragement is given tt
the Texas growers.

Inits investigations Of thecountry's
water resources the United states
geological survey has recently ex-
tended its operations in New York to
the measurement of the volume Of
number Of streams in the southeast
portion Of the state. Some Of the
newly established points of operation
are on the east and west branches of
the Delaware river just above their
junction at Hancock, n. Y, on the
Delaware and Neversink at Port
Jervis, and on Upper Schoharie creek
at Prattsville, N. Y. Ths Delaware, a
large and swif-howing stream, is one
Of the possible future sources of weter
supply of Greater New York. 1t is
also an interstate stream, following
for some distance the boundary line
between New York and Pennsylvania,
and that between New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. 1t is Of Importance
thatits conditions of flow be accurately
understood in anticipation OF future
Improvements upon it. Upper Scho-
harie creek drains the slopes Of the
highest peaks of the Catskills, with a
watershed almost completely covered
with timber and forest. 1t is expected
That the records of the United States
geological survey will furnish IN
formation ON the much debated ques-
tion whether streams flowing from
wooded regions are better for mill
purposes than those draining cleared
lands.
r, cords arc kept ofall these streams
by local observers employed by the
survey, and from these records the
volume of water flowing in them each
day can be determined.
This work is being conducted under
the charge of Robert E. Horton, oI
Utica, resident photographer of the
United States geological survey fol
New York and Michigan.

interesting Discussion on Dairy
Methods and Feeding
For Pfoht

EoE ENoNb
The annual farmers institute was
held here Monday and organized by
electiug e. Warner, chairman, and
Henry Aldrich, secretary.
Col. } A. Woodward Of Centre
county, a veteran talker to farmers
and who has made addresses in
every county Of the state besides
having visited many others as a
lecturer, was present and took up
the subject Of dairying, which in
oluded proper rations for COWS and
their care and management to make
them produce the most profitable
results. He said there are two lines
which bound the business-the lines
of cost and profit--and the wider
they can be made to diverge the
moro successful is the farmer. The
COW is a machine and the owner is a
manufacturer. The question is how
best to supply the machine to pro
duce the most satisfactory results.
He discussed the composition of
various food rations--sueh as en-
silage and corn fodder and showed
by chart how deficient they were
in protein. The best ration is one
which contains one of protein to six
of carbo hydrates and there is no
more perfect ration than clover hay
cut at the proper stage and perfectly
cured. Peas and oats are balanced
ration, corn fodder and ensilage con-
tain too little of the protein-but
they may be supplemented by corn
or other feeds. He strongly urged
the raising of clover and peas and
oats. He spoke of wasteful methods
in vogue in sowing clover and said
it was his custom to pass a harrow
over the ground before sowing the
seed. The grain would be better
for the cultivation and the clover
4
would be more sure to catch sown
on loose bed of soil. He urged
deep plowing, the deeper the better,
and advised level cultivation for
corn and potatoes. He planted both
il rows and put the potatoes down
seven inches planting cuttings. He
then narrowed over the ground sew
eral times to kill all weeds and then
with a cultivator stirred the soil
deeply as possible. Colonel Wood.
ward is an interesting and convinc-
ing talker. His ideas all appear
born of common sense and exper.
fence. He has no inpraoticable
theories or costly methods. Hi;
whole study is to accomplish the
Sest obtainable results with the
least possible outlay, and in securing
these ends he reaps success.

Taxation without representation

Taxation Without Representation
Mrs. Sara Yorke Stevenson, prom

Gently gave her opinion on woman
suffrage as follows mo fair minded
American, however conservative,
can deny the injustice of taxation
without representation without
denying his own birthright. Either
women are citizens or they are not
Any argument on the subject sinks
to the level Of mere casuistry based
upon expediency. Logically there
is no evading the question of right.
If it is inexpedient to give women a
vote, they should be relieved of all
burdens and duties to the state.
But can it be inexpedlent to
admit into a nations councils the
one half Of its people whose interests
most closely depend upon the main
tainance of law ana order? And
shall we say that women are unfit
to vote, when we remember that
among the most brilliant as we'll as

largest and most lucrative practices
