THE WELCOME RAIN.
New England Needs More, However, for
Forest Fire Extinguishment.

Boston, Sept. 30.--Three quarters Of
an inch of rain on an average fell in
New England up to eight a. m. yester-
day. ranging from % OF an inch at Nan
tucket to ITO inches in Greenville. Me.
In many places it was the first moisture,
with the exception of heavy dews, that
had fallen for six weeks, but the relief
will be scarcely more than temporary
unless more follows soon. In southern
New England the rain did scarcely more
than Law the dust and very few of the
brooks and none OF the wells were effect
cd. In the northern part, however, which
was nearer the storm center, as the dis
turbance swept down the st. Lawrence
valley, the fail was heavier and the
moisture gave the underground a good
wetting, which stopped the forest fires,
for few days ct least.
In this city the rainfall up to eight

Strawberries should 90 into winter

cultivation should not be resumed till
after fruit harvest the following season.
Many strawberry plants are smothered
through covering too early in the fall.
A very high covering may be given them
about October %, but the main blanket,
which should be from 10 to II inches
thick. should not be placed until the
ground is frozen hard enough to hold
up a team In locations where moisture
conditions warrant, it is customary to
set out strawberries in the fall, though
this practice has not proved satisfactory

Vermont, in 1907, produced 1896 per

valued at $4.596,724, representing about
l,450.000 cubic feet; in 1905 the value
of the production was S4,5T6,9l3, or
60.36 per cent OF the total and repre-

ranked third in 1907, with an output
valued at ss64.T57, as against S0l9,356

year Of s54,599. In 1906 the product
was about $4,000 cubic feet and in 1907
about S07 600 cubic feet. Most OF the
marble from this state is sold rough by
the qlarrymen to the manufacturers.
The demand for building marble was
reported as very light after the first Of
September, and the output remained
practically the same al in 1906.
New York became second in 1907, with
an output valued at SOL ,a5l, as COM

oming showed decrease.
Alabama marble, which has recently
entered the market, has found favor
both as building and monumental
stone. The Kentucky output was onyx
marble from Cave City, Barren county.
The Idaho output was very small, and
was used only locally for building and
for burning into lime.
Development work and installation OF
machinery was reported on marble and
onyx property in Gunnison county, Colo,
but no commercial output has resulted.
Development work was also done on de-
posts of marble in Nevada, and pro-
duction will probably be reported in

In BOSTON MARKETS.
Drouth Has lad an Effect on the Prod
uce Market.

Boeon, Sept. 30-lhe only important
development since Saturday bearing on
the market for dairy products is the
facts that the drouth which has prevailed
all over the country for the past four
weeks has been relieved by fairly general
rains. Whether the rains have come in
time to do any good is a question that
time aUne will answer. The drouth is
reported TO have seriously reduced the
production OF cheese in northern New
York. while an advance OF a cent pound
in butter at Canton. ~ y, would seem
10 indicate that the dry weather has
Ind n similar effect upon the make of
butter in that section OF the country.
To add 10 the troubles OF the manufac.
turers OF butter and cheese arising from
the protncted period of dry weather,
grain and feeds have been very high, and
even the present range of prices az dis
tributing markets is not very profitable
for tha manufacturers Poultry men,
finding the cost of feeds increasing in
stead of declining, are inclined to reduce
their hucks, with the result that the
supply OF eggs is mgich smaller than
usual at this time OF the year.
Locally untTt Is no CnANge III Cutlda-
tons Fine table butter finds ready

prices are easily maintained. There is

THE PROPER GOLF COURSE.
English Champion Tells What Links
Should Be.

One of the most interesting contribu-
tions on how to lay out golf course
is offered by James Braid, Great Brit
aims open champion. Braid contends
that course should have four snort,
holes, two for an iron or mashie, one for
a cleek, and one for full drive; also
two very long holes. The others should
vary; two ful.snot holes, predominant
ing. He does not favor cross-bunkers
to any great extent, but believes in thu
"bottle.neek" system of guarding the
greens so as to make the approach mar
row. In his opinion, the total length
of course should be between 5000 and
6,400 yards.
The champion is also particular
about the arrangement of the holes.
The first two, in mis- opinion, should be
of such nature as to permit players
TO put quickly away without congestion
and he also asks that the three last
holes be a severe test. The logic of
this contention has long been admitted
hy all thinking golfers. So many
matches are settled at the latter end Of
the course that it is unquestionably
preferable to have these holes Of a
character calculated to bring out the
best golf the the players command.
Braid believes in variety OF holes, evil
guarded putting greens, alternative
methods of playing a hole. He sets
forth. the length of the holes, the or
der of their arrangement, and the chief
point. quality or character OF each,
something as follows:-
