this point, known as the Dawn station,
disclosed the fact that the trail was in
poor condition, ran on the side of the
mountain where there were no trees to
shade it, while the railroad track
stretched away on the north side en-
tirely out of the suns rays. 1t did not
take us long to decide to count ties
to Alpine tavern, where the track ends.
This stretch of track is exceedingly
beautiful, hanging as it does on the
side of Millard's canyon, and we made
rapid progress. Large pines shaded
the track and the nimble squirrels
tame that they barely moved aside to
let us pass.

News ana Notes.

Cement posts for farm fencing where
timber is scarce seem to be attracting
attention.
Official crop reports from st. Peters
burg show the winter wheat crop in
European Russia to be good and the
crop of winter rye below the average.
Nursing dairy calves" is new busi-
ness noted by Rural New Yorker. Dai-
rymen who retail milk in large towns
cannot afford to raise calves. The milk
is worth more to sell. After few days
they send the little creatures to some
farmer who has hand separator and
sells cream. He raises them on warm
skim milk and grain and sends them
back as yearlings.
An encouraging fact In forest man
agement is the growing determination
of large timber land owners to handle
their holdings less wastefully and to
protect the forests with the view to a
continuous yield of timber.
An area of 31O93, 900 acres seeded to
winter wheat is Orange Judd farmers
estimate, an increase over the area har-
vested last year Of 2.500000 acres, but
a decrease of about 1,eea.0o0 acres as
compared with lie acreage actually
seeded in the fall Of i9Q3

Next Monday is the annual Town
Election. Will it be allowed to pass
unnoticed or will the citizens of
Smyrna take enough interest in 1t to
go to the polls? The lack of interest
taken in our municipal elections is
matter to be deprecated. People all
over the town are free enough to
critize the actions of the Council and
condemn them for poor streets, bad
pavements or insufficient lights but
never take enough interest in municipal
affairs go to the polls and express their
opinion at the ballot box. The present
Council has made a good record and
have done the very best for the town
they could with the limited funds at
command. There is no doubt, if
sufficient funds were in the treasury,
the Council could make material i'm
provements in the electric light plant
and on the streets but the property
owners are not willing to bear au in
crease in taxation, and the consequence
is the Council has to figure close.
There are some things. however, the
Council can attend to but haven't and
that is to have better pavements and
better police protection. It is a much
remarked of fact that Smyrna has a
bad lot of pavements and there seems
to be no excuse for it when the Coun.
Gil has it in their power to enforce it
Smyrna also seems to be lacking in
police protection. Policeman Turner is a
good officer but after serving as town
hauler all day he does not feel like
patrolling the streets until eleven or
twelve o'clock at night and as con-
sequence the town at nights is much of
= >the~-ti unprotected. Councilman
Stockly feels the town pays enough for
police protection to have it done pro-
perly and advocates having all the
streets in Smyrna patrolled. Possibly
if this were so Mt. Vernon street would
not have had so many hOld-ups and
highway robberies as has taken place
recently. The matter of policing the
Gown and having better pavementf
should be taken in hand early by the
incoming Council and some way de-
vised to better conditions. The
people have right to expect a reform
along these lines.

THE EKEY.

a rich, bright crimson when fully ripe,
very attractive. The flesh is red
throughout, quite firm and of excellent
quality; plants moderately vigorous
and quite healthy: flowers perfect;
first blossoms, May 10; first ripe fruit,
June 13; last picking, July 3.
With the exception of the Chellie, the
Ekey was one of the most beautiful
berries grown at the station last sea-
son. The great size of the unusually
long, pointed berries, together with
their bright, rich color, made them
equally conspicuous on the fruiting
row and in the basket. While this va
riety does not promise to be as prOduc-
tive as might be desired so far as the
number of quarts are concerned, it
certainly does promise, in the opinion
Of the station horticulturist, to be a sat
isfactory yielder of dollars and cents.
Judging from the past season, its
great size and beauty will cause it to
command a fancy price among appreci-
ative buyers.

SOIL MOISTURE.
Its Management an Art That Calls
For Intelligent Use of Farm Tools.

Its Management an Art That Calls
For Intelligent Use of Farm Tools.
By JOSEPH A. JEFFERY, Michigan Ex-
pertinent Station.
Certain methods of moisture man
agement are necessary. These call
largely for the intelligent use of farm
tools This is an art, and a great art,
which every farmer should master. A
soil may contain an excessive amount
of capillary moisture, and it is not al
ways desirable or convenient to wait
for its removal by natural means. The
farm tool must be brought into USE
1t is presumed that the land is drained
best tiled drained. If it is not and
this excessive moisture is common, not
many seasons should pass before it is
drained.
If the land has not been plowed, then
the plow will probably be the tool
used. If the soil be a clay or a clay
loan
First.-Use a plow with a slanting
moldboard and do not plow deep, for
the abrupt moldboard and deep plow-
ing will both have the effect of unduly
packing the soil when Overwet, which
should be avoided.
Second.-After plowing do not allow
the soil to dry too long before it is gone
over with spike tooth harrow or, bet
ter under some conditions, with a roller,
followed shortly by a spike tooth. The
object of the narrowing is to prevent
the forming of hard Jumps at the sur
face in the drying of the soil, as is al
most sure to occur in the soils named
if allowed to dry too long before a mel
lowing tool is used. 1t is easy enough
to tell by feeling or even by the eye
when this mellowing process should
begin. 1t is not practiced as much as il
should be.
The use of the roller as suggested
will often improve the quality of the
mellOwing, but in any case will bring
the newly plowed soil in more com
plete contact with that below, which il
a thing to be desired in spring plowing
and will at the same time improve tn,
capillary conditions Of the newly plow
ed SOIL
If the soil has already been efthe
fall or spring plowed, then the use o
one of two tools may be suggested:
First.-If the soil is loose, the role
may be used. It's use will more thor
oughly compact the soil grains, an,
moisture will rise more rapidly throug
a reasonably compacted soil than
will through a more open one. When
roller is so used care should be take
not to allow the drying to go too fal
for in such a case the surface may b'
come overdry and even cloddy. At tn
proper time some stirring tool shoul
be used. The use Of the roller for .thi
purpose should be exercised with muc
care.
Second.-The disk harrow may
used. The use of the disk harrow wi
bring the more moist layers of soil
the surface and thus expose them
the action of the sun and wind.

Here's to the Average Farm Hen.


Important factors in the production
of superior quality of poultry, breeds
and strains and other conditions af-
fecting poultry raising have been in
.vestigated at the Canadian expert
mental farms, and the information
gained in connection with testing and
Matching eggs laid during the cold sea-
son is summarized as follows:
The generous and gently stimulating
rations given to the fowls kept in cold
houses. did not seem TO affect the
strength Of the germs of the eggs laid
by them, as similar rations apparently
did in the case of the hens kept in ar
tifcially warmed quarters.
Eggs laid in early December by the
hens in artlfcially warmed houses
showed a greater percentage of strong
germs than did eggs laid by them later
in the season.
Eggs laid by the same hens in early
spring showed a satisfactory percent
age Of fertility, but the Weakest germs.
The most striking and gratifying re-
suits were obtained from the fowls
which, like their parent stock, had nev.
ed known warm quarters. From fifty
five eggs laid by these fowls in early
spring-after laying well during the
winter = forty-eight strong chickens
were hatched. In contrast with this
are seventeen chickens from fifty-twt
eggs laid by hens kept in warmed bu
comparatively limited quarters.
Results were strongly in favor O
the average farm conditions.

That Deadly Hatpin.

That deadly implement, the hatpin Of
modern times, is a descendant of an
equally formidable toilet article used
by Roman women.
The Aspasias and Julias and Claud-
las who decked themselves couple of
thousand years or more ago, to the I'M
doing of the particular Balbus or Mar
Gus they desired to fascinate, wore
bone hairpins of prodigious length.
Yet, like the women of this present
time, they seem to have experienced
the same difficulty in keeping them in
place. This fact came to light during
excavations at Silchester, in England,
a hundred or so of these bone hairpins
being found in the Roman bath, col
lected, maybe, by the bath attendant
to prove all these centuries later that
there is nothing new under the sun,
and that in all ages the same little
foibles have been possessed by women.
