George L. Weeks, who was recently
appointed special agent for the ex-
termination of the brown-tail moths in
the city, has entered upon his lahors
and reports that he found several Of
the nests Tuesday on the east side Of
the river. NJ S. Campbell. steward
and treasurer at the Insane hospital.
reports that his men found number OF
the nests in the hospital orchard, and
there seems to be no doubt that Au-
custa has become infested with the
nest. though the nests found thus far
indicated that they are isolated rather
than in colonies. People should take
special pains to make an examination
OF their orchards at once, for win
the coming of the first signs of foliage
on the trees the little caterplllars IN
the nests become active, and by al
lowing a single nest to remain on a
tree there will be turned loose on that
tree within few weeks from go TO ooo
OF these caterpillars. Agent Weeks Is
sending out his notices to the property
owners of the city and it is warning
that should not be passed unheeded.
The destruction of the nests before TIE
snow GOES means the saving OF the
foliage of the city trees and the trees
themselves.

Irrieatinr sweet Corn.

One farmer IN Winchester, Mass,
who grows ten acres of sweet corn,
plants his corn five feet apart. He irri-
gates the corn with water pumped by
ore OF those pumps which deliver l20,-
600 GALLONS day. He says ii cost
him not over So a day to supply the
water to the corn.
His corn rows are about 600 TO 700
feet long, and the water will run from
one end of the piece to the other with
out going out of sight. As soon as his
corn is picked, about the 25th or the
2Sth of July. he sells the whole thing
to milkmen in the neighborhood. plows
the ground and plants II to celery five
feet apart, and he irrigates for the eel

saddest thing he sees in New York:
"COuntry-dwelling American mes

lively democratic And. being demo
cratic, the cities sadden US country
people For the city-and New York
i typical of urban America-fosters
too much of the sham relation between
men that one finds where class lines
are set The eternal presence of
serving class. whose manners may
some day petrify into servility, the
continual discovery that the ran who
brings the food or sweeps the street
or drives the cab considers wholesome
conversation with him from his pa
irons as a sign OF low breeding. the
presence of the man who fawns for
quarter. all these make the country
man in New York desire to rush home
and organize a Sitting Bull Lodge of
Ancient and Amiable Anarchists.
1T is not the extravaganza of the
rich, but the timber knees of too many
of the poor, that disgust the country
man in New York. The saddest thing
in that great city to one who comes
from the frank. wholesome. clean,
happy faces of the country is not the
eyes, not the overfed, puffy-necked fig
eyes. not the overfed. puffy-necked fig

than they are the loathsome wooden
faces of the men who stand decked out
like human manikins in puppies and
greens and what-not of mOdish Stiffness
and, for price, surrender themselves
to be made part of the landscape. For
years Mickle. the painter, was the low

-. But, On the other hand, some
way the fiunly is just a fiunky and he
seems TO have given UP the right to
