on stone boats or sledges. The fire is
first well started and then covered with
dense smoke and fills in between the trees
in the orchards. Sometimes several of
these are kept going. Another method is
10 make fires at intervals in the orchard
and to cover these with damp straw or
stable manure. and then let the smoke
spread through the orchard. 1t is GUS
tomary to have everything in readiness.
the fires laid and everything ready to
touch a match to and start the smudges
going as soon as the temperature drops
low enough to cause alarm. Still another
method by which we fight frost is to have
number of heavy wire baskets placed
at intervals all through the orchard. IN
which kindling is laid all ready to fire.
and these are started and the fire COW

soon as it gets any Roadway. In some
cases we make coal fires in this manner.

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED
Governor Hughes Does Not Propose to
Allow Members of Legisla-
fyY~o RI Ecoora
ture to Escape.

Albany, n. Y, April 23.-The legislature
of 1908 closed its regular session this
afternoon. The echoes of its closing
hours had hardly died away before Gov
ernor Hughes caused TO be filed a proc
lamation summoning an extraordinary
session to begin on Monday, May IL, at
$3.50 p. m.
The proclamation gives no intimation of
the purpose for which the governor calls
the extra session. He would make no
statement on the subject tonight. The
general expectation is that he will recon-
mend for further consideration the prop
oSitions of Ills annual and special mes
sages of this year which the legislature
failed to enact; especially the elimination
of the sections of the PercyGray racing
law and penal code, which for thirteen
years has protected public gambling at
race tracks; the establishment of a per-
miSSive system of direct nominating pri-
mary elections. and the amendment of
the public service commission law, so as
to extend the jurisdiction over telegraph
and telephone companies, ferries and
stage lines.
