Dairy Notes.

AS good disiufectant, gypsum,
sprinkled on the floor about the stalls
of the COWS will keep down the odors
and help retain the ammonia of the
manure and add to its fertility. Use
it.
The yard where cows are kept
should have good surface drainage,
and it should be covered with gravel
or cinders deep enough to form a
hard surface at all seasons of the
year.
Silos furnish one of the best foods
for cows. but if you cannot have one,
raise some OF the roots, such as the
mangel-wurzel, which yields 600 to
700 bushels per acre, and can be pre-
served in root cellar, cheaply built.
The dairyman should be natural
ly neat person. This will give him a
good reputation to begin with, and
as milk is one of the quickest pro-
ducts to absorb odors. he will need
Ito be always particular and on the
outlook for anything harmful to his
business.
Never allow the milk to stand in
the barn, but remove it at once to a
cool place to be aerated, and cool to
e temperature Of sixty degrees or
below. Then be particular that all
empty cans and pals. and everything
that comes in contact with the milk,
are thoroughly washed and sterilized.
One of the most essential requi-
sites in turning out good first-class
butter is cleanliness. Not only
should the vessels for milking, and
those for keeping the milk in, be
clean and sweet, but the COW also
must be kept free from mud and any
other filth that may have adhered to
her, for milk is quick to absorb i'm
purities.
To become successful in dairying,
one must provide plenty of the for
age crops, to be able to keep the cows
in the best condition for supplying
milk, and then calculate to do your
milking at regular hours, never
changing unless unavoidable, and be
sure to milk the cows dry.
1t is not so much the amount OF
milk and butter cow gives, If she
consumes a greater amount of feed
than will make the business profit
able, she is useless. Professor Robin
son. of the Canadian Department of
Agriculture, has been conducting
some experiments, which GO to prove
that there is no profit in the dairy
cow when she consumes more than
six or seven pounds of grain per day.

PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING

and will hardly think 1t necessary
that we should draw attention to this
matter, and yet we may safely assert
that moro plants are injured, and
more fail to reach their greatest per-
fection from an improper mode of
watering than from all other causes
combined.
To water the various plants, that
their different wants shall all be sup
piled and no more. is an art acquired
by but few, and the credit which
most cultivators receive for fine COL
lection of plants is often due to the
proper observance of this one item.
1t should be borne in mind that the
duty Of the water is to dissolve and
convey to the roots of the plants the
food which they need; some plants
must have a season of comparative
rest, and IL such are watered liberally
during this time they will keep oIl
growing, and the necessary rest is not
obtained. Sometimes growers will
tell us that they succeed very well
with certain classes of plants, such
as fuchsias, etc, but that they fail
with other sorts. We at once set such
people down as being profuse water
ers, who, by too much water, injure
or destroy such plants as will not bear
1t. On the other hand. there are
those who fail with this class of
plants and succeed well with others.
because their mode of watering does
not supply enough for the wants of
one class, but is about the proper
amount for another.
Many plants are permanently in
jured by water remaining in the
saucer; Others often suffer from a
bad selection of the soil. Some anna
teurs fail with certain class of
plants, of which begonias may be
taken as a type, because they shower
the leaves with cold water, but for
this very reason they are eminently
successful with another class, Of
which the cemellia will serve as a
type. AS a general rule, from which
there are few variations, the texture
of the leaves may be taken as an in
deS Of their power to resist the appli-
cation of water. Plants having por-
Gus, open or fieshy leaves covered
with soft down should be seldom. If
ever, moiStened, while those having
glossy or hard leaves will do all the
better If washed frequently.-W. R
Gilbert, in Home and Garden.

not purchased as soon as seen. Very
often the self-denying housewife be-
rates herself roundly for crimping
along without wish-for pan, egg
beater or some kitchen utensil when
she realizes that it could be bought
for few cents.
insufficient help in the kitchen is
the rule rather than. the exception on
the average farm. Too often the
housemother is allowed to undertake
more than her strength will permit.

Special By United Press Wire.
Fort Monroe, Va, Nov. 22:-With the
arrival of President Taft here on board
the cruiser Tennessee at 1920 O'Clock
today, 1t was learned that on Friday
night the Tennessee and the Montana,
which accompanied 1t on the return trip

ical storm on Friday night the Tennessee,
in some manner, swung acros the bows
Of the Montana and the two vessels
were only 500 yards apart when the
danger was discovered. Prompt action
on the part of the navigation officers
prevented the collision.

chased a tract containing forty-two
lots in First, Second and Paterson

Der OF modern residences similar to
those which they have built in

An EXTENSION
OF THE SOLID
FILLING LINE
Larson & Fox Complete Sur
vey of Easterly Water
Front for City Attorney.
FACTORIES UNITED FOR
ITS ESTABLISHMENT

Larson & Fox have Just completed
map of surveys along the water
'front.' that may mean the extension
OF the easterly line of the city into
Staten Island Sound and the estab-
lishment of new line of steam
ships into the port. The map is for
the use Of c. G. Hommann, who on
December 1 will make application to
the State Board of Riparian Com
missioners for the extension of the
solid filing line from Smith street
to Buckingham avenue 1t seems
probable that an extension will be
granted, according to those inter
ested, and in that event it will mean
a big improvement to the city Fac
tories will be extended and i'm
proved and deeper waterways Will
aid navigation to the respective fac
tories.
Concerns along the shore front
that include the Roessler & Hass-
lacher Chemical Works, the Perth
Amboy Dry Docks Company, the
Raritan Dry Dock Company and the
Atlantic Terra Gotta Company have
united in the effort to secure the
proposed extension. Messrs. Lar
son and Fox have completed a sur
Vey and a large map showing the
docks, piers, dry docks, bulkhead
and pierhead lines approved by the
war department. for the manufactur-
ing concerns along the shore includ-
ing the above, The extension will
vary in places, but it may average a
hundred feet.
Bulkhead and pierhead lines are
to be measured from the ends of
streets. according TO the new propo-
sition and High street Is to be taken
as a working basis. In that way 1t
is proposed to extend factory prop
erty a hundred feet or so in places,
giving more land for manufacturing
purposes and incidentally better ia
cllities for shipping.
Should the Improvement be grant
ed, 1t Is probable that line of
will be run up to the
chemical works. 1t was stated at
the local pilots office this morning
that water traffic Is constantly in
creasing in this port and by next
year another pilot would probably
have to be added. This would make
a total Of five pilots in this port,
there now being four. The office
started with two. 1t continued for
two years and then a third was add
ed. Two years later the fourth was
put on.

SHE DESERTED HIM
FOR JUST CAUSE

"A divorce has been granted be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. William Knoe-
sci, OF this city, in the state of Mis-
souri,. on the ground Of desertion.
The action was brought by William
Knoesel, although that was only a
matter of discretion with Mrs. Knoe-
sci, who claims she wanted to be d.
Vorced and allowed him to proceed,
since he started the case.
Mrs. Knoesel, who assumes her
maiden name of Elizabeth Seel. says
she has ample grounds for institut-
Ing divorce proceedings. She says
she would have sued for divorce had
not Mr.. KnoeseI started action first.
Mr.. Knoesel, whose parents live
here, and Miss Seel, who Is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Seel, of Market street, were married
in st. Louis, Missouri little more
than two years ago. They lived to-
gether for about six weeks in St.

Knoesel says she learned that her
husband was not the man she want

says her husband followed her to
this city, where he spent a week i'm
ploring her to return, all without
avail. She was dissatisfied and she
asserts, and claims to have had am
pie grounds for a divorce.
Mr.. Knoesel returned to st. Louis.
where he was employed, and sent
letters to her, which she ignored.
She was about to begin divorce pro-
ceedings, when he started action.
Because he happened to start first,
she says, she permitted him to pro-
