VAN W|NKLE LAND
PLACE WHERE DEAR OLD RIP
FELL ASLEEP.
On the Very Spot the Play Is to Be
Given This Summer-Here Will
Disport Again Hendrick Hud-
sons Ghostly Crew.

Where is it, this slumbrous region
the whole world loves and cherishes!
On the southern slope of Kaaterskill
Glove. in the very heart of the Catskill
mountains.
lrvings village of Falling Water in
all probability is the Palenville of to-
day. All about is very like the sur
roundings of the Sketch Book tale;
Palenville is situated at the entrance
to the Glove (gap, ravine) wherein are
waterfalls the counterpart of those in
the story; in the Glove Is trail twin
to the one up which Rip and his dog
sadly travelled that evening angry
Gretchen set them forth ..
A visitor to the Glove realizes as
never before the plight miserable Rip
Van Wrinkle was in, when he sees the
character of the wild country through
which dog and man had to make their
way. The mountain all about is COW
cred with forest growth, the precipit-
GUS sides offer no encouragement to
the climber, no matter how expert
enced and brave. One path there is a
narrow trail worn by the Indians,
winding in and out along the Kaater-
skill, climbing gradually to upper lev
els, until at last a height of almost
1000 feet is reached. A difficult, dan
gerous road to follow at the best Of
times, skirting the edge of deep ra-
vines, crossing the haunts of wild
beasts. Think what it was the stormy
night Rip was driven forth.
Mayhap there are some that say
waste not your sympathies on this
Imaginary character, he never existed.
This the answer to the doubters-
There are those who say Rip Van
Winkle is myth, and that the story
of Sleepy Hollow Is an ancient Dutch
legend warmed over to fit American
scenery and American ideas. May such
scoffers never visit those ideal noun
tain paths where the feet of honest
Rip first broke the trail leading to the
SUBMITS. May they never pluck the
fragile mountain flowers or smell the
sweet breath of summer on the noun
tain tops. May they never look from
the tops of these peaks on the placid
waters of the broad Hudson"
A curse this, to be sure, for a sad
loss would it be never to wander in
Rip Van Wrinkle land. Apart from the
legendary and historical suggestions
with which the country is rife, it is a
region of wonderful charm, a picture
of peace and loveliness. From the
grassy knoll where Rip rested one
enjoys a view we'll worth the hard
climb. The Glove itself is full of beau
ty, it's dark depths relieved by silvery
cascades. Over there lies the Hudson,
and the roofs of the little hamlet of
Failing Water" and Off there rise the
Berkshire Hills. No wonder Rip was
tempted to the mountains to life of
Warren sheaf., 1905-07-06

contemplation. No wonder he liked
to lie on the hillsides and judge the
earth spread before him as good.
In this day of much vacationing,
understanding of Rips attitude is not
wanting; and into his land has f1ocked
a colony that this summer is to pay
tribute to the spirit which pervades
the pleasing land of drowsy head"
Summer folk. of course they are; peo-
pie that have cottages in Twilight
park, that aptly named spot in Sleepy
Hollow land. In July they are to pre-
sent an outdoor performance of Rip
Van Wrinkle, and back again to life, on
the very spot where he climbed and
rested and philosophical, the old fel-
low is to be welcomed with the honors
due his memory. 1t is to he a note
worthy performance given in this out
door theater, the setting straight from
nature, the amphitheater accommodate
ingly furnished by the three slopes of
ground.
Professionals and society folk are to
take part, and over 200 performers will
appear, Here will play at ghostly
game Of bowls Henddrick Hudson's
crew; here the schanpps be drunk and
that well-loved toast be given
Here's to your good health and your
family, and may you live long and
prosper"
But, alas! he whom it was hoped
would be the hero's part, beloved Joe
Jefferson, will not be there that day.
Never. again will he and SCHNEIDER
bring before us the man and dog that
climbed the long trail of the Kaater-
skills.

1t will be almost impossible for a

make 1t a paying speculation. The

the top notch, and the next change is
almost sure to be downward. Anoth-

their nature to succeed with them. If

commence with a few-say twenty

The prejudice against the use of
silage as a dairy ration has entirely
disappeared. AS silage used to be put
up ten years ago, made from slushy
and immature green corn and thus
fermenting and souring badly in the

for complaint, but with the better
methods now employed of using we'll
matured corn for silage there is no
reason whatever why it should not be
one Of the very best dairy rations avail

There is some peculiar quality about
the soils Of new countries when first
brought under cultivation which is ia
vorable to the production of wheat and
oats, While it Is at the same time not
so well adapted to the growing of corn.
In the course of twenty years or so
this condition is reversed, and the corn
one year with another will do better
than the small grains. When the land
is new the straw Of the small grains is
stiff and bright and seldom subject to
rust or blight troubles, which later on
are only too common.
Warren sheaf., 1905-07-06

When men can see the wonderfully
enriching effect Of clover on wornout
soils it seems strange so very few will
avail themselves Of this cheap fertil-
izer. There are thousands of acres Of
corn land now yielding about thirty
bushels per acre which If seeded down
to clover would after two years when
again planted to corn easily double
this yield, and, what is more, the good
effect Of this clover treatment would
be manifest for five years after.

A good way to subdue a refractory
piece of land is to give it a deep plow-
ing In the spring and then double
disking once a month during the sum-

hoed crops, such as onions or beets,

We know Of not less than 10000
acres Of the most fertile corn land in

while plowed and planted, has failed
to produce any crop at all save weeds,
for the sole reason that the crop is reg
ularly drowned out This land can be
easily tile drained at an expense Of not
to exceed $40 per acre, but because In
dry season it does not need such
drainage the owners cannot be made
to see that it would pay them to do II,
and 50 they each year go to the trou-
b3e Of plowing and planting and just
trust to luck that the Lord will send

We have several inquiries as to the

redtop can be used to advantage. Un-

owners of automobiles to carefully
study the, relations which exist be-

finding expression in every conceivable
manner-in rigid and hampering legis-
lattOn, In distractions placed on the
highways and In attempts to run into
and injure the machines whenever it
can be done with safety. This antago
inism has its origin largely in the reck-

at the limit of their speed and are ut
terdy Indifferent to the rights Of all
other lawful users of the highway The
