Harrison, a canvas covered wagon
turn out Fourth street into the
rough road which leads across the
dump down to the embankment over
which the Woman's body was thrown.
On the strength OF the information
thus secured, reporters followed the
tracks of a wagon along this path,
across the refuse heaps and down TO
a point about 1913 yards from the
fatal spot There a curious dlscoy-
cry was made. The wagon tracks
described a loop. indicating that the
wagon had come to a stop, and then
been turned slowly around. This
clew Is being followed. the idea being
that the murder was committed
some distance from where the body
was found.

Approaching Solution of New.
Jersey Swamp Mystery.
Clew of Wagon Tracks Indi-
cate That Murder Was Commit
ted at a Distant Point.
POLICE SEARCHING FOR MEN.

New York, Dec. 3O.-A double
Identification of the victim of the
Jersey swamp murder, curiously eff
fected yesterday makes it practically
certain that the woman was Agnes
O'Keefe, sometimes known as Mrs.
Annie Nerins.
AS Mrs. Annie Nevins she was pos
itively identified this morning in the
Harrison morgue by Mrs. Margaret
Wright, >of Mont Clair, to whom the
woman had applied recently for a
position as housekeeper. AS Agnes
O'Keefe she was with equal certainty
Identified an hour later by Detective
Sergeant Drabell. of Orange, where
the detective declares she was en-
ployed as a domestic in several fam
lilies up to year and half ago.
The curious circumstances which
apparently unite these conflicting
identifications are these:
As Agnes O'Keefe a woman re-
sembling in every way the victim Of
this Christmas night tragedy was EN-
ployed at Orange in the household of
Thomas Nevins. a wealthy contrac-
tor. who has since died in Ireland.
Annie Nevins, niece of the contrac-
tor, and Agnes O'Keefe were fast
friends during all the time that the
latter lived in Orange, and it is re-
garded as not unlikely that when she
left there, inasmuch as she had had
trouble in retaining positions she
adopted the name of her friend in be-
ginning life elsewhere.
Clothing Identified.
1t was as Mrs. Annie Nevins that a
woman, again resembling in every
respect this victim of the swamp
murder. applied to Mrs. Wright in
Mont Clair for position. Mrs
Wright being at the head of an en-
ployment agency there. She told
Mrs Wright that her home was in
Brooklyn, but that recently she had
been keeping house for two men in
Newark. She was attired precisely
as the woman who lies dead at the
morgue, and Mrs. Wright identified
the garments today before she looked
at the body. She gave no address
when she went away.
Today detectives were securing
Brooklyn, Newark, Orange AID the
nearby towns for traces of either An
ME Nevins oD Agnes O'Keefe, but
without results. And even II this
double barreled Identification shall
prove to be correct. the mystery
which surrounds the crime is not a
whit nearer solution, for no hint OF
the identity of the murderer has
bee nforthcomlng up to the present
time.
Another Garment Found.
Following the gruesome process
sion of garments that have been
picked up within half a mile OF the
spot where the body was found, the
seal cap undoubtedly worn by the vic
tim was located today under the bank
Of the Passaic river near the acety-
lene works. It is a simple skull cap
with two feathers fixed in the front
and rolls on either side. which may
be drawn down over the ears for

protection against severe weather.
There was nothing about 1t to aid
in the Identification save the fact
that it matched the nun. which the
scene of the crime has already givep
up.
Nearby also was found a simple
little trinklet in the shape OF heart
"a device wrought of mother-of-
pearl with the letter S twisted across
the front In thick gold wire. II may
have belonged to the victim of the
tragedy or some other woman,
thoughtlessly treading the same
ground, may have dropped II. It was
placed among the other relics.
4 Letter.
The final find OF the day OF the
murder was a mud-stained and torn
fragment OF a letter-torn directly
in half with the signature so blurred
that It was practically illegible.
The letter is addressed to "My
Dear Cora" or ''My Dear Cousin"
and SO much of It as can be made out
reads as follows:
and | thank God TO help you
You may yet be saved and thus re-
stored to your loved ones Now think
seriously of these words. Pray earn
estly over your future. God is good
and | know"
There is no more Of it that can be
made out.
AS yet nothing has been done by
the county health officers TO deter
mine definitely the cause of the wo-
mans death. so that the police are
seriously handicapped in their search
for the murderer.

striking piece of evidence. however

is to buy a herd of that breed. He

The poultry manager of the Canada
experiment station, A. G. Gilbert, has
recently published a summary of ex-
tended experiments In poultry feeding
and breeding from which the following
notes are taken. Hens kent In cold
quarters and fed heavily produced eggs
with strong germs which Matched we'll.
On the other hand, poultry kept In ar
tifically warmed houses laid eggs with
weak germs which hatched weak chick
ems. The results were considered In
favor Of fresh air and plenty Of it even
If it was cold" In a study of the du-
ration of fertilization after the remov-
al Of the male bird, records were kept
of the number of eggs which Matched or
which were shown to be fertile. The
last trace of fertility was noticed elev-
en- days after separation. The unfertil-
led eggs had superior keeping qualities
80 the author recommends that as a
rule male birds should not be kept with
hens depended upon for market eggs.
Experience showed that where there Is
a variety In rations and care in
them, and sufficient floor space, there is
little likelihood Of egg eating or feath-
er picking. Steamed lawn clippings
were fed to the station poultry three
or four times a week and eaten with
evident relish. Glover leaves treated In
the same way were also much liked.

Sowing Glover Seed.

White clover is not averse to grow
ing frequently on the same soil, al
though that soil mag have been but
specifically plowed-a consequence, no
DOUBT, of the plant being indigenous
and growing spontaneously in this
country. Some persons have, however,
observed that on soils not very well
adapted to its cultivation it thrives bet
ter when first introduced than after
the land has borne it for a number of
years Red clover is not found to be in
jured when sown alternately with
white clover. White clover is sown
either on the autu.nnal sowing or
among the spring grain, but the for
mer position is better for it, because
among the autumn grain it grows more
quickly and affords good pasturage
among the stubble. 1t is also spread
over the autumnai sowings as soon as
the frost is over; sometimes also sown
before winter, or even while the ground
is covered with snow, in order that it
may more effectually be buried by the
water formed when the snow melts,
and may consequently terminate on
the first return of spring. The small
ness of the seed of white clover and
the disposition Of the plant to spread
allow of its being sown much more
thinly than red clover much smaller
quantity of seed is therefore required
for given extent of ground, five
pounds per acre being quite sufficient
if the seed be uniformly scattered. The
time for which white clover lasts de
ponds upon the extent to which the soil
is adapted to it Sometimes it contin-
ues for three years only from the time
of sowing and fails in the fourth. When
fed off to excess by sheep it disappears
sooner still, because these animals eat
! the stem even down to the roots, which
they tear up. Nevertheless, it makes
excellent sheep pasture, owing to it,
shorter growth, compared with the rec
variety.

Growing Emit.

larger areas are annually being de-
voted to fruit. AS the demand for
fruit increases it is apparent that new
fields are opening in those sections not
adapted for special farming or stock
raising. Stony hillsides that are now
Improbable can be- made to blossom
with each returning spring. The grape
will grow on soils that refuse nourish-
ment to cereal crops, and the black
berry is successfully grown on tbs
lightest sands. With all the boast OF
favored sections, there Is not a seass
that averages the net profit per acre
that is possible with small fvuits-
Lands that will not grow a blaze u
grass pay the grower in pears, black
berries and raspberries, and the better
qualities of soil produce the best Of
Strawberries. If there Is a failure ir
growing fruit, it Is sometimes due to
carelessness of the grower. Trees and
vines, like anything else, must receive
the care and attention of the grower
must be properly cultivated and pruned
and the fruit judiciously prepared for
market. The curculio must be fought,
the borer killed and the miller and ca
terpillar destroyed. If the work is well
done, and the grower is patient, his re-
ward will surely come, for there is an
excellent opportunity FOR enterprising
fruit growers to increase their profits
by producing fruit Of the best quality.
Low prices occur at times because the
market is oversupplied with inferior
fruit, but there is always n good de-
mand for that which is choice, and at
good prices.

Controlling Growth of CaBbaees.

Some gardeners practice method Of
stopping the bursting of too rapidly
growing cabbage heads. The idea is to
check the root growth, which is sending
too much sap into the head. Either
some of the roots are cut away or else
the roots are somewhat loosened by
pulling the cabbage partly out of the
ground. Either plan will check growth
sufficiently to save the cabbage.
