DRAINING MEADOW LANDS.


There is a certain carelessness
about the care of meadow and pasture
lands which is hard to account for. It
may be that we are not yet far enough
away from the wild lands of decade
or so ago to forget that they grow
luxuriant grasses without care or
pillow. Any one who will take the
cannot fail to be impressed with the
lack of attention which these lands
receive. If piece of ground is too
poor to grow grain crop it Is turned
to grass; if it is too wet it is turned
to meadow, with the result that lots of
this land is not producing enough to
pay taxes on it.
Drainage is the only thing needed to
convert these low, improbable lands
into meadows that will produce two or
more tons per acre of commercial hay.
The heritage growing now on much of
this is of no practical value, but when
once the soil is subdued and dried out,
other grasses readily take hold and
make bountiful crops. We have often
wondered why so many continue to
sow expensive grass on these lands,
without first getting rid of the surplus
water and other vegetation that is not
congenial to tame grasses Some of
the finest meadow lands we have ever
seen were fow years ago marsh
lands, where marsh hay. grew five or
six feet high. These lands were first
drained by big open bitches, and then
were covered by system of dies.
Within two years after the opening of
the bitches this waterlogged soil be-
came dry enough to work, and then
the sun and rains did the rest. Stag
nant water kills vegetation. Drains
carry Off this water and let in air and
sunlight and enable the soil to digest
the rain water as it falls and sinks
into the earth.
GROWING PICKLE CUCUMBERS.
A profitable crop for summer plant
ing is the picking cucumber 1t may
be grown to good advantage on piece
of run-out pasture land of medium
soil. Such land should be plowed
early and thoroughly worked to set
loose whatever plant food is available.
Fresh land of this kind is likely to be

eases which so commonly attack Gu
cumbers in old land. A gravelly or
clay loan will be satisfactory. The

and harvest begins the last of July
or the first of August and continues
until the vines are killed by frost.
The best fertilizer is barnyard or
poultry manure, but good crops may
be grown with small amount of mar

tanning considerable nitrogen. The
usual plan in this locality is to plant

WHAT THE TRAP NEST DOES.
1t shows which hen lays the egg.
It shows just what each hen is doing.
1t picks out the 3OO-egg hen, the
200-egg, the 100-egg, the 5O-egg and
the drone. Feeding the drone is one
of the greatest leaks of the poultry
man.
1t picks out the winter layer. 1t
enables one to get acquainted with
each individual hen
The frequent handling and moving
hen from the nest tames her and tina
tame hen is paying hen.
It prevents egg eating, as the cul
prit is easily detecte and killed.
It picks out the hen that lays the
infertile egg, the brown, the white and
the yellow egg.
II picks out the hen that raises the
best chicks. Not always the high
est scoring hen raises the winning
chicks.
1t is the only practical way that
breeder can pedigree his stock. Poul-
try will in time be pedigreed as is
other pure-bred stock. Trap nests
may be placed in building or yard
away from the laying hens (when
used for sitting hens) and they can
be removed once day for feed and
water When they return to the nest
they shut themselves in and the other
hens out so they cannot crowd on
and break the eggs. 35
The trap nest is a simple contriv.
ance by which the door is set on a
trigger which is sprung by the hen
when she enters. The door closes
and she cannot leave the nest until
removed by hand.
A numbered band on each hens
leg enables the owner to tell exactly
what each hen is doing by writing her
number on the eggs in the trap nest

MAINTAINING FERTILITY.

It is an old rule that proper field cul.

inch of space produce to its fullest

ence and reason. All plants require
sufficient amount of food, heat and
moisture to enable them to reach ma

ity and where the ground is annually
devoted to crops the great difficulty is
to retain it's fertility and to secure
from it all that should be derived
under the best possible conditions.
Any dinninution or deterioration of the
plant food in the soil must be resup'
piled in some shape and it is import
ant that the farmer attend to keep
ing the land up to a high standard of
fertility at all seasons, for land that
has been bountifully fed will be in a
better condition for succeeding crop.
while that which has been overtaxed
will gradually lose fertility and entail
an additional expense every years.

MORGAN AND HILL PAY
OFF ANCIENT GRUDGE

Washington, March 20.-That j. p.
Morgan and James j. Hill have paid of
q grudge of several years standing
against +. II. Hartman and his hackers
Is the view which Washington, after the
battle on Wall street, is inclined TO take
Of the remarkable stock furry.
The recent struggle of the railroad
giants Is now looked upon as in many
ways the direct outcome of the historic
struggle of Blue Thursday" May s.,
1901. But this time the boot was on
the other leg. Hartman was on the de-
fensive instead of being the aggressor.
President Roosevelt has been keeping
close TO the streets operations since
the troubles began to grow acute. He
was in no hurry about giving financial
MD. The explanation of his giving it
is that conditions in New York became
worse and more threatening than even
the engineers Of the bear movement had
designed. The treasury took a hand only
when this was deemed necessary to
prevent widespread injury that would
have far more disastrous results than
q mere shaking down Of some of the
excess holdings of Mr.. Hartman.

HARTMAN BARELY BEATS

In the stock market, E. H. Hartman,

zion hat the reports of us having lost
control OF Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific are without foundation, though
Vt must be admitted that his majority
Is so small that his opponents are in
a position to make trouble for him at
any time. Still the fact remains that
Hartman is in control and has beer
able to recover most or all of his losses
by getting back into the market early
In the rise which followed his great
slump.
There is no question in fact that
Morgan and his associates have gath

looked like a Waterloo is all the more
remarkable for, never before in the

EARLY HOURS IN BOSTON.
Lack of Festivity in Hotel Dining
Rooms After II p. M.
From the Boston Transcript,

~ ITDIl III LDOoLOn W "a
Because our hotel dining rooms are not
filed every night between II and IL o'clock
with persons celebrating the new law some
of our ~neighbors are saying that we do not
know how to enjoy our recently granted
privilege. And II Is strongly limited that
our long habit OF enforced total abstinence
near the midnight hour has moulded us.
even though we demonstrated against the
discipline, into a people who live the sim
ple life, the chief virtue OF such an ex-
istence being going early to bed.
This may be so. Certainly we cannot
deny the truth OF the assertion with so
many outward evidences IN support OF IT,
Our dining rooms after II 80 do not have
an appearance of festivity. Here and
there through the rooms are stray parties
enjoying themselves sedately, not to say
mournfuliy. And the tables occupied can
be counted on the fingers.
But those who know hat our theater-
goers are made UP largely Of suburban.tes
find Il easy to discover another reason for
the small number who tarry over their
oysters and their Newburgs after the the
alter. Residents OF the farther points In
Greater Boston who have ever lost the last
train are not easily tempted to repeat the
experience.
