rience in farm work. and most of the staff are run
ming North Carolina farms nSv. Quite probably
you have seen our Prof. B. W. Kilgore rt some
Farmers Institute He has managed the State
test and experimental farms for years, and nobody
in the South knows more about soils and fertilizers
than he. And our DR.. @. W. Burkett, Agricultur
ist of the North Carolina Experiment Station

he gets every year.
But these are only few features Scores of the
most progressive and successful farmers and
ularly for our columns, while our literary, house
hold and news features make The Progressive

FERN Notes from Eastern Carolina.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Since my last communication Harry Farmer has
passed away This is sad loss to the farmers of
this State, and perhaps to the South.
In my last I tried to urge the farmers to d-
versify and not depend on cotton alone, as many
were wont to do. Well, I have tried to practice
what preach. I planted five acres in May peas
and fifteen acres in Irish potatoes. These are
fairly promising now; will report results later.
Shall be to plant plenty of corn, COW and
stock peas to have abundance of feed already
have an abundance of salad, kale, rape radishes,
lettuce, etc., with cabbage and tomatoes coming
Have planted quite little patch of water
melons, one of canteloupes and squash, etc.
Strawberries in full bloom now There promises
to a fair crop of peaches; these we have sprayed.
Rather too early to figure apples yet. Pear
trees are full of fruit; set out in early spring
one hundred more peach trees of Sneed, Alexander
and Crawford's Early Thus you see I try to
live on the farm and out of the farm. I have
special crops but have variety of vegetables
and fruits; an abundance of poultry and eggs,
milk two fine Jersey cows which furnishes an
abundance of butter and rich milk. Shad and
in fact all fish, are abundant. [ am one mile from
town here. I get steak at u cents per
pounds. I usually sell the butchers some dressed
hogs or beef, and get them in turn to let me
have roasts and steak. This can be done in al
most any locality and will greatly aid in good
farm living
Now about cotton. When the manure for
fifteen acres of Irish potatoes had been made it
left me with no manure for the cotton, so bought
a carload of Western cattle, fed them twelve tons
of cottonseed meal and forty-fve tons of hulls.
By keeping the quarters well strawed we will have
thousand loads of manure, enough for
twenty acres of cotton. With what we get from
the team stock, cattle and two hundred hogs,
think we can manure thirty-fve acres. This, with
a liberal supply of acid phosphate and kainit, say
thousand pounds per acre, think should
give fifty bales of cotton. So shall try to get
on fhrty-five acres what / used to get seventy
five acres.
The winter has been very cold and the spring is
late. Our fall oats are long way behind other
years. Glover is small; crimson clover just begin
ming to head. Still there is nothing in sight
cept scarcity of labor and the ,unwingness of
hands to work, that would prevent with favorable
conditions from now on) fair crop.

Editors Progressive Farmer:

Editors Progressive Farmer:
Some days ago / was called to see an old widow
lady and to get to her house [ travelled through
the woods over a blind path for some distance and
then tied my horse and walked along little wind
ing foot path for quite distance before came
to the little house down in the woods.
When [ entered the house there sat old lady
trembling with pain and age. She had lived here
all alone for years. Everything looked neat and
clean in this little house. asked her if she did
not feel very lonely there by herself.
Her answer came quick and cheerful: "No, there
is some one passing and the children of my near
est neighbor comes sometimes"
When I left that home my heart was lighter
than when entered it. You see there is bright
side to every life. She loved and enjoyed her own
environments. She had fixed things in her own
way and enjoyed them, and she also had things
neat she could, that her friends might feel COM
Portable when they went to her home. I i'll
the life of this lady much to cheer one. She
loved her own environments She made the best
of them for her comfort and that of her
friends. Do we all do as we'll? Do we cultivate
and improve our own environments, that our fam
lilies and friends may get all the pleasure there is
to be derived from them? When you do things
about the home do you have eye to your own
happiness and the delight of your friends? If
you do not you will be sure to do them wrong.
Have you done anything to make your home
bright and cheerful? Now is the time to begin.
Out there in front of your house, how does it
look Is it covered with green grass now and the
shrubery and rose bushes all covered with life and
beauty? If there is no grass, the wind is blowing
the yard away, and if you have any trees the roots
are becoming bare and the tree will soon be gone,
not only so, but your and daughters will go,
and are now tired of the place, and are longing
to get away to some more genial place.
1t is too late now to have grass, but you can
have few flowers in the yard this spring and
summer and fix for the grass this fall. The best
thing for you to do is to plow up the yard
and make it very fine, and then sow it in peas in
May. Then in September or October sow it in
lawn grass, or best, blue grass. 1t your yard is
shady the grass will do better than if there was
no shade Do this as it should be, and you will
be pleased. No one on the place will have chill
while the peas are growing, and they make very
pretty yard
When you do this everybody will think more OF
you and you will have respect for yourself and
friends that you never had before. I do wish every
farmer in all this land would begin to beau
tify his home, and make it place of gladness for
his family H. F. FREEMAN.

WANTED TO DIE.
Miss Smith of Hisganum the Country
 Girl He Referred eo.

Hartford, June 2S.-NeW evidence has recently come to light which proves that Robert Rapp, who committed sui eide at the National house in this city last week, tried to get the country girl referred to in his letter. Miss Mary Smith of Higganum, to commit suicide with him. Dr O. w. Kellogg. a neighbor and the family physician of Miss Smith, says that on last Wednes. day Rapp telephoned from Hartford asking him to get Miss Smith to meet him in Middletown. Dr Kellogg de- clined, and later in the day Rapp went down to Higganum to see Miss Smith, who lives with her mother, Mrs Nor man Smith, a well to do widow. He attempted to get her to commit suicide with him, but this she declined to do Rapp then returned to Hartford in des- peration. and went straight to the Ma tional house.
 When Miss Smith heard what had happened there she became hystericaI and late on Saturday her mother called in Dr Kellogg, who prescribed some sedatiye. Not only did Miss Smith de- cline to take this, but she refused to eat anything at all. Sunday afternoon, when she had eaten nothing since Fr1- day. she told her mother that she had taken all the medicine left by the doc tor. Mrs Smith at once sent for Dr Kellogg. who used stomach pump all though he said that the drug would not have been fatal in any case He fur ther declared that Miss Smith could not have been accountable for her ac- tions when she took the medicine, as she was in a hysterical condition.
 Dr Kellogg said that Mrs w. J. Mur- phy of No 381 Capitol avenue, this city, who keeps the boarding house where Rapp used to stay, acknowledged that Rapp had bought poison, carbolc aeld and creosote, for the purpose of killing both Miss Smith and himself. To a Courant reporter however, Mrs Mur- phy denied all knowledge of the af- fair, saying that Rapp had not boarded at her establishment for three months. That Rapp did not commit suicide because his attentions were rejected IS certain, because he and Miss smith were the best of friends. He bore an excellent character and was well known and equally well liked and re- spected in Higganum.

KILLED AS HE DREAMED.
Elevated Road Electrician Told His
 Dream as He Went to Work.

Before James A. Jennings, an cleo trician employed on the Sixth avenue elevated railroad, left his home at 246 West 143d street, few mornings ago, to go to work, he told his wife that he had dream he was going to be killed She tried to convince him that dreams went by contraries, and that he should not give the matter any thought.
 Jennings reported at the yards at 155th street and soon after was sent down the tracks to investigate a con nection of some kind that had occurred in the third rail half a block below the 155th street station. A little later, Motorman James Kelly, who was in charge of q southbOund train about to leave the station, saw Jennings's body stretched across the tracks. Jennings was at work repairirE the damage.
 Jennings heard the signal to start the train. He jumped to his feet, but in trying to get out of the way he fell beneath the forward truck of the car and was killed.
 The motornan reversed his power, but he was not able to stop the train in time to avoid running him down. the first car of the train heard the mans cries, and some of them tainted. His body was taken home, and when his wife was told of his death she be- came unconscious. After being re- vived she told of her husbands dream.
 Jennings was in the employ of the company for nine years. and only re gently became an electrician.

"EIijaho Dovvie Met Another Frost
 on His Return From Europe.
 NEW YORK, June 28. Elijah" Dowie on the eve of his departure from this city spent busy time on personal or, rather, "Zion's" busi- ness, as he expressed it, and from his headquarters in the Fifth Avenue ho- tel he completed his preparations for his departure today over the West Shore railroad for Chicago and Zion City.
 The profit as he was dubbed in England, and his party, including the unkissed son and the millionairess whom he converted while in Europe and whom 1t is said Gladstone Dowie is to marry, left the Fifth Avenue ho- tel in carriage, but refused to reveal their destination.
 Following the chilly reception which his lectures received on Sunday and the pittance put on his contribution plate the profit has determined to shake the dust of this wicked city from his feet.

Ansonia Young r1en Prepare Dummy
 to Fool Han at MOtor.

A number of young men in the VI cinity of Division street rigged up a dummy last evening, and set the ng- ure about three feet from the trolley tracks in front of the Southern New England Telephone Co.'S office. The figures hand was operated by string held by a member of the crowd, and every time a car approached the dunn my signalled the motorman to stop. The fun kept up for over two hours, and this morning the dummy was found up against the wall of the tele- phone building where the young men had left it when they discontinued their fun with the trolley crews.
 The figure was well made and from distance closely resembled man, which was operated by a young man .rhe arm was worked by a device who hid in clump of bushes on the roadside.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Old Veteran Told Judge Burpse Hia
 Home Was ssEYerxwhare.,

Lawrence, or Larry" Leonard, as hA was once very well known in the north end, was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day. charged with intoxs- cation. Larry was found by Officer s. Mccarthy last evening on South Main street, near Clay. According to the story he told the court, Larry" heard of cure for sore leg, which however, on this occasion. went to his head instead of his leg. The cure was whiskey. Some one told him it was a great cure and his opinion this morning was that he was in too much of a hurry to cure the leg. He was com mitted for thirty days to Brookside, which for some time has been his home. Leonard is veteran of the civil war and has lived at the Soldiers home in Norotoh To Judge Burpee this morn ing, when asked where his home is now, he said he has been living every where.
 Henry McNamara was charged with creating disturbance at his home yes- terday. McNamaras wife is very i'll and the doctor who visited her three times yesterday morning left directions to have the utmost quiet prevail in the house. McNamara's way of carrying out this order was to break in the door. He made a speech on the witness stand which would have resulted in his being sent to jail, and only help is wanted at Brookside he would have been sent down. He was committed for thirty days on the town farm
 William G. Flanagan's case for non support was called next. He pleaded not guilty. It was apparent from the evidence that the principal difficulty was difference of opinion between the husband and wife regarding certain relatives. The Flanagans were married ten years ago to-day, according to Mrs Flanagan's evidence. Flanagan thinks his wife ought to get along without certain of her relatives, and she thinks otherwise. He works in Winsfed and seemingly has a good position, but she prefers to remain with her relatives. The case was continued thirty days and Flanagan was released on his own recognizance. a very unusual occur renee. Before leaving the court room he asked his wife if she would live with him. She did not leave with him.
 Officer Lachance of Waterville ar- rested James Burns of Brooklyn, IN. Y., for intoxication and also charged him with breach of the peace. A fine of $15 and costs was imposed.
 Mrs Patrick Collins of 239 Bank street charged her next door neighbor, Mrs Catherine Smith, with breach of the peace. Everything charged against her Mrs Smith denied. and put all the blame on her ,neighbors. The disturb ance consisted of calling names. An appeal was taken from the sentence, $7 and costs.
 A boy named Patrick Scanlon was charged with breach of the peace in calling an old man names. AS he was arrested only a short time before court opened the case was continued to to- morrow morning.

HEAT SUPPOSED
 TO CAUSE BREAK

City laborers are repairing pc culiar break in the pavement near the catch basin on North Main street. Up to yesterday morning teams were protected from the danger by half a dozen boxes being laid over the break which was first noticed Saturday morning. Two or three rows. of the brick pavement swelled up, making a ridge almost a foot high. Then the bricks fell apart and the sand founda- ton which was laid on bed of con crete came next and scattered itself within a radius of half a. dozen feet. This peculiar happening had no ap- parent cause. No explosion was heard and the only explanation given is that it was caused by the great heat Of the last few days of last week. There was probably a weak spot in the pavement at that place, or that the moisture from the catch basin at tracted tGe sun and caused the pave ment to swell. From the crowds it attracted one would think it was caused by an earthquake
