The Artesiian
Water Level
Is Falling

Unless something is done immedi-
ately to stop the present ruthless
waste of the artesian water supply
and if conservation is not practiced
by water-farmers and others directly
dependent upon the artesian basins,
grave consequences are liable to en-
sue owing to the fact that the pres
ent artesian level is rapidly dropping
and is now lower than ever before.
At Beretania pump, where six
months ago there was a pressure of
four pounds at the pump chambers,
there now exists a vacuum of four
inches, and this vacuum is increas-

PLAN TO TEACH IMMIGRANTS
THE RUDIMENTS OF ENGLISH

Ed Towse, legislator and a member
of the board Of directors of the Y. M.
C. A., would have the latter organiza-
tion take up the work of teaching
immigrants the rudiments Of the Eng
lish language during their detention
at the immigrant station. His sugges-
ton to this effect, made yesterday,
met with the hearty approval of other
officials of the Y. NJ. G. A., and con-
ferences will be held with the Terri
torial and Federal authorities and
with representatives of the Sugar
Planters Association to ascertain II
the plan is feasible
In talking of the Towse suggestion
this morning A. E. Larimer, eduea-
tional director of the Y. NJ. C. A., said
IF the plan is adopted our only
effort will be to teach the immigrants
the rudiments of the language. We
have no intention Of educating to an
extent that would make them dissat-
isfied with plantation life.
'Tn fact by our plan they would be
taught the pecessary English which
would make them more capable at
once for plantation work.

mouth, apparently due to hemorrhaga.
Regan was about fifty-eight years Of
age and has been at the house for the
last three years. He was a quiet, re-
served man and the Montgomerys
speak very highly of him.
Regan was an oldtimer here, having
worked as foreman printer on many
local publications. He took up his po-
sition as proofreader on the Star some
four months ago.
Regan is an East Indian by birth
and leaves neither wife nor children.

BIG CROP OF BRITISH INDIA
Over $4,000. 900 Acres Under cultiva.
tion@2, 900 1000 Acres Now
Under irrigation.

The department of agriculture has
issued a report on the crops of Brit
ish India for April, 1912. which says.
in brief:
British India. with a population OF
over 800. 900. 900 people and a total
area of LBS. O75,4S2 acres, or about
three-ffths Of the land area of CONT

223. 600. 900 acres are actually cropped
OF the area cultivated, nearly AZ. 000.-
600 acres are now under irrigation. a
very important factor in agriculture
in British India. as the failure of the
monsoons in certain years has been
the cause OF great famines.

POULTRY NOTES.

All hens like to lay in dark nest
boxes.
No matter where you live. poultry
can be made profitable.
The incubator never changes its
mind 1t stays on the job.
Late Matched turkeys should never
be used for breeding purposes.
In brooder raising special attention
should be paid TO the breeding stock.
Coal oil and carbolic acid are good
lice and mite killers. as well as disin-
fectants.
As a rule. hens that desire TO sit
are fat. though there are occasional
exceptions.
1t is important in caring for sitting
hens to have the nests so arranged
that one can shut the hens in.
A plump young turkey. dressing
from S TO 10 pounds. finds a market
at almost any season of the year.
Don't be tempted to sell your best
birds unless you have some better
ones in view TO take their places.
Nothing worse than damp brooder
floor to start chick ills. Cover them
with a little dry earth or old carpet
Some hens seem to know when il
is feeding time. II will pay you to
humor them and be prompt and regu-
lar.
Ashes scattered about the floor help
TO keep II clean. help keep the air
pure and have some value as disin-
fectants.
II is best that the young turkeys be
come accustomed to their attendant
! and to all persons and animals about
the place.
BOARD floors in poultry houses are
Objectionable for many reasons, and
| should never be used where dirt ioors
can be provided.
Any egg-eaters in the flock? Make
the nests as dark as possible; tha'
will help. If that doesn't discourage
the culprit. sharpen the AK.
II is advisable to place a box OF grit
or coarse sand where the turkeys can
find II. as not all farms have sufii-
Gent quantity for the purpose of good
digestion.
The nests in the poultry house need
not necessarily be expensive anairs'
lint they should be strong and SUD
stantial and at the same time comfort
