Letter to Martin P. Jones
MOrriStOWn, n. J.

Dear Sir: What will it cost to sow
ten acres half wheat and half daisy
mixed and WHAT II the crop be worth !?
edon't know what daisy seed costs,
nor how bulky it is; we suspect half
wheat and half daisy would make big
crop Of daisies, and last long time ;
the wheat might be short.
The parable throws some light on
The cost Of paint half whitewash.
WhiteWaSh, mixed half -and-half with
paint, is all-paint in look and feel ; in
deed nine-tenths of the "paint " in
the stores is part wbitewash: some
half, some more, some less.
Paint has to be spread with the
brush, the surface prepared, the lad
ders scaffolds pulleys and ropes ar
ranged and moved, there's a great
deal of labor in putting paint on it
costs So to 81 gallon to do it.
What does it cost to paint white
wash? Just the same. Half-white-
wash Just the same. 1t doesn't
seem worth while, for the whitewash
does harm, not good.
Will the paint hold the whitewash
fast ? or the whitewash loosen the
paint?
Better paint pure paint, the least
gallons paint, the least-money paint,
DeVOe.

NEWARK DEEP SEA PORT.
ship Channel for Ocean Going Craft
TO be Dug, in Passaic River.

To be Dug in Passaic River,
Simultaneous with the starting of
meadow reclamation operations on the
Newark meadows, work will be begun
next week by federal contractors to
dredge a deep water channel through
Newark Bay and the Passaic River,
and commercial interests in Newark
are jubilant with the thought that
the campaign to connect that city
with the ocean has succeeded.
The contract for making a waterway
deep enough for oceangoing steamships
was awarded last week to the Midland
Land and Improvement Company, a
subsidiary of the Hackensack Meadows
Company, and it is expected will be
completed within three years. The
channel will extend from the Kill Won
Kull to the bridge of the Greenwood
Lake Railroad, a distance of eleven
miles. The specifications call for a
waterway sixteen feet deep at low
tide, which will mean twenty-one feet
at high tide, and an average width of
three hundred feet from the Kill to
the Erie Railroad bridge at Fourth
avenue and two hundred and sixty
feet for the rest of the way.
1t is calculated that four million
yards of materials will be eXcavated,
and it will be used for filling in three
Thousand acres of the Hackensack
meadows abutting on the Passaic and
Hackensack rivers. The reclaimed
land will be used for railroad yards,
and industrial enterprises are also ex-
pected to settle in the vicinity.
The dredging will be paid out of an
appropriation of 100000 made by Con-
gress last winter. OF that sum $780,
900 is now available.

Seasonal Variation of Milk.

The seasonal variation in cows milk,
ascertained from five years study in
a herd of about 600 cows, all regis
tered or graded Jerseys, on New York
estate, disclosed the rather interesting
fact that the richest milk, that contain
ing the greatest proportion of fats and
total solids, is obtained during Deem
Der, January and February, in the or
der named.
March and April are not very far
behind, but the decrease is practically
continuous until July, when it reaches
its low level, after which follows a
gradual monthly increase until Deem

Cows that are imperfectly MIXED

ness or imperfect milking from the
fault Of the mixer or from the diff
cult task by reason of the anatomical
construction of the udder are convert

HAY Good For Hoqs.

But few farmers would consider hay
as a suitable feed for hogs, but the Kan

and Kaffir corn than from Kaftir corn

finer stems, rejecting the coarser por-
lions. 1t was decided that pasture in
summer and hay in winter would pro-
duce pork cheaply.

tically be a revival of the old Waverly

mile race course is being built by a
force of two hundred men, and during

Waterproof Paint.

The following recipe for a water
proof paint for wood or stone will be
found reliable; Melt twelve ounces Of
resin; mix 1t thoroughly with six gal
Ions OF fish oil and one pound Of melt
ed sulphur; mix some ocher or any
other coloring substance with little
linseed oil, enough to give 1t the right
color and thickness. Apply several
coats Of the hot composition with a
brush. The first coat should be very
thin.

TO GET NIAGARA
POWER
TOWNS OF WESTERN ONTARIO
WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH
ELECTRICITY FROM
FALLS.

Toronto, Ont, June 5.--As a re-
suit of the campaign which has been
conducted by the municipalities OF
western Ontario for the control OF
a portion of the power of Niagara
Falls, the Ontarian government has
just closed a contract with one of the
generating companies, by which pow
er will be supplied to these towns at
a low figure.
The project is said to be the be
ginning of a comprehensive scheme
which Adam Beck, NJ. p, and other
advocates OF government control OF
Niagara power are planning to carry
out. 1t is intended that ultimately
the government shall control the
power product of the falls.
in order to curb the commercialism
which might tend TO impair tho
scenic value of the falls, the govern
ment is energetically restricting the
generation OF power.
