DOWN ON OLD NANTUCKET.
The Relics Of Voyages to All Parts
Of the World in Whal-
ing Days.s


everywhere in quaint old Nantucket,
the island OF the New England coast
which was first settled some 40 years
after, the Mayfower landed at Ply
mouth. Almost every country, at least
every seaboard country that was on
the maps at the time when Nantucket
sailing ships were the wonder of the
world, Is represented in the treasures
which are preserved to-day in the
chests and cabinets of the old families.
Some of these importations of the
days before the customs officer are OF
great wealth; in Nantucket they are
priceless, for family pride .forbids
their sale.
In those days when q Nantucket
matron wanted silk for new dress
gallant captain brought it to her from
the orient. Her furs came direct from
Russia, her spices from India and her
hat from Leghcrn direct. This meant
many ships, and ships must have rec
ords, so Nantucket has perhaps the
most interesting collection of ships
logs in America. Some of them are
treasured by descendants Of the early
captains. Others have been collected
in the library of the Nantucket His
torical society. All are full Of inter-
est.
These logs are mostly In the
cramped hands OF first mates. Many
are the thrilling tales disclosed In
h~%
loss Of ships boat with its compile.
ment Of men, the boarding Of dere-
lict, 4 fight with-a whale, are all ~
corded, but given no more prominence
or detail than the daily latitude or
longitude of the ship.
The logs of whaling ships are partic-
ularly interesting, says the New York
Tribune. 1t was the custom for the
mate to enter each capture or loss of
a whale. In the margin the mate
drew crude picture of the whale,
leaving blank in lie center in which
to register the number Of barrels of
oil obtained. In some Of the old logs
these entries are made with a die If
the whale got away only the flukes
were stamped upon the log book,
Ships which were spoken were duly
entered in the log, and sometimes the
margin showed drawing, true to life
in every nautical detail, at least, even
though the sea and background of
islands left much to the imagination
It is said that a ship never returned
to Nantucket from whaling voyage
with an empty hold, and that there
are documents to prove 1t. That does
not speak very well for story which
is retold to-day by natives of the
island. It is of vessel returning from
a three years cruise after whales. The
captain vas hailed at the bar by the
pilot with a cheering What luck,
cap'n?" ~.
t'Wall, haven't got any oil, but I've
had 4 mighty good sail!"
It is a characteristic story, however,
for 1t shows the undaunted spirit of
the men who made Nantucket famous.

EDUCATING FOR SMALL FARMS.
A r'an IS now taking tangible form,
which will lead to the establishment
of small farms comprising five to
twenty acres each.' On these farms
young men will be taught combined
scientific and practical agriculture
They will also demonstrate the pos
sibility of getting an income and genu-
inc happiness from their investments
which may well be envied by the
salaried man or the man of moderate
capital in the city. 1t is believed too,
that this work will have wholesome
effect upon the farmers throughout
the country. An increase of even
$4,000 in the revenue of each farmer
when multiplied by five million, would
establish the prosperity of the Ameri-
can Nation, the bulwarks of which
are it's farming population.
Mr.. Hollister is also directing
work of reclamation of a large tract
Of salt meadow on the Connecticut
coast which, when reclaimed, will be
used for the purpose of intensive
farming, thereby firmly establishing
the fact that these lands may be used
to furnish employment and bring
wealth and happiness to the people.
Thus each day reveals some new
progress, and farming, that once
seemed hopeless, hapless drudgery,
is being shown golden highway to
an ever increasing success.

hay for pigs it is considered better to

udently a larger proportion of protein
conserved. While late cutting, after
the leaves have fallen somewhat and
the stem hardened is better for
horses; Tor pigs, especially growing
pigs, the crop should be so harvested
as to save the largest number of
leaves. Experience teaches also that
the third or fourth crop is better for
pigs because it is softer and more pal
atable. It is always wise to provide
some sort of trough or rack with a
floor in it for feeding alfalfa to hogs

Of alfalfa, as it is softer in texture,
has a larger proportion of leaves, less

than any other cutting. While poultry
of all classes will eat alfalfa hay, or
at least the leaves from it, and thrive,
1t is undoubtedly better practice to
chop or grind it and mix it with a
grain ration. A good practice is to
steep the alfalfa hay in hot water and
let it stand for several hours before

Some Of the questions considered in
the experiments were the composition
and digestibility of alfalfa, the calcu-
lated cost of nutrients supplied by al
falfa and other feeding stuffs, the
value Of alfalfa hay cut at different
periods of growth, alfalfa as pastur-
age, soiling, and hay crop, alfalfa meal,
and the value of alfalfa, fresh and
cured, for different kinds of farm ami
mails and for poultry. The Importance
of this crop as a honey-producing
plant was also considered.

Horses and mules, it is stated, thrive
on alfalfa pasture, and while alfalfa is
too rich food for mature horses I'M
less used in combination with some
other roughness, 1t is an excellent feed
for young ones, as 1t seems to contain
just the elements necessary to develop
bone, muscle, and consequent size.
Caution should be used, however, in
feeding alfalfa to horses, particularly
If they have not been accustomed to
it. Like other concentrated feeds, 1t
seems to stimulate all the physical
processes to such an extent that vari-
Gus disorders of the digestive system
may appear. This is particularly no
ticeable in the urinary and perspira-
tory glands.
When alfalfa is fed to horses in con-
siderable quantity the grain ration
must be proportionately reduced and
an abundance of other roughness fur
nished. When horses have attained a
mature age and 1t is desirable to
change from other hay to alfalfa, this
change must be very gradual and the
alfalfa selected for this purpose should
be more advanced in growth at the
time of cutting than that which ia to
be fed to cattle or sheep. AS a general
statement, very ripe alfalfa hay Is the
best to use for WORKING and driving
horses, while that prepared in the
usual way-that is, cut when the field
Is about one-tenth in bloom-is better
for the colts. In any event, horses that
are fed alfalfa hay must be given
abundant exercise.
For dairy and beef cattle and for
sheep, alfalfa has given very good re-
suits. AS regards the use Of alfalfa

were taught the economical use If
water and the method of creating q
favorable environment for plants. A
visit was made to Maryland, where
experiments with soil and plant life
added still further to the experiment
er's fund of knowledge, but in 1901,
the most difficult and seemingly i'm
possible work was to come, i.e., the
retaining of tidal lands on the north
shore of Long Island Sound The De-
partment of Agriculture already had
had man in the field, who had re-
ported the feasibility of reclamation
but by slow processes, and that in
vestigation revealed too many failures.
In spite of this, Mr.. Hollister had
sufficient knowledge, gained expert
mentally, to suggest success, added to
which was the further information
gained during four years. residence
in Washington, d. c., for the express
purpose of consultation and co-opera-
ton with the experts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. An experiment
was first made on a small tract on the
south side Of Long Island, where the
salt bog had simply been taken up
and thrown inside of a dixie. con.
structed of lumber sufficiently strong
to withstand the tide. This bog was
made smooth and even, and CHEMICAL
treated in the month of August. By
the of October the surface was
covered with beautiful growth of
tame grass six inches high. This
might certainly be termed, "a Quick
Process Route" Work on sixty
acre tract on the north side was begun
in June and completed in December of
the same year. On this land, covered
the previous autumn with salt water,
nine hundred bushels of turnips were
produced on two acres during the
first season. Rye, oats, celery and
vegetables throve on the same tract.
The following year twenty acres
were seeded to meadow land in April
BY August it was covered by Il btauti-
fnl turf, strong enough to hold up

duced luXuriant crops of vegetables
