JOHN SQUIRRELS
Animals Play Golf on Oil Kings
Links.
Hiram Revere Ayers He Saw Them
Gambling for Nuts on the Putting
Greens at Pocantlco Hills, Using
Tails for Clubs.

Tarrytown, N. Y.-Gray squirrels or
John D. Rockefeller's Pocantico Hills
estate have taken up golhng, accord
ing to Hiram Revere, who lives W
that way. And what's more, he says
they are gambling for nuts.
Mr.. Rockefeller last year bought
hundreds of gray squirrels and turned
them loose on his estate. He likes &c
see them scamper over the golf links
and often is amused when q lost bal

Revere says he was going down
through the Rockefeller estate, neal
the county house road, when he no
uced a number of squirrels on the
green. He was curious to see what
they were doing and hid behind tree
ut was the prettiest exhibition oil
putin l ever see" said Revere. TWO
big squirrels were playing the game
and there were a dozen others stand
ing around rootin' Pom my word
when one squirrel would make a good

were usin' their tails to putt with
They would carry the ball to the end
of the green, and then one squirrel
would hop on his hind legs, give his
tail twist and send the ball straight
for the hole. l saw one of them hole
out In two. The loser would always
take a nut from his pile and give 1t tc
his opponent.
They played that way for fifteen
minutes, when one of the squirrels
had captured all of his opponents
nuts. The winners crowd set UP q
great chatter and then hoped over &c
the pile of nuts and had feast. The
losers took their medicine well, and
after watching the feast for few min

SMALLER THAN LAST YEAR.
Horticultural Reports Outlook for
Apple crop Not Very Good.

State Horticulturist Albert X Gard
ner of Rockland has stated that all
indications from the orchards that he
visited in the State points 10 a smaller
crop than last year with the eXcep-
ton Of the Baldwins The percentage
of No. / apples will not be as larse
as last year on account OF the scab.
The unfayorable weather conditions,
which caused a heavy drop, and the
scab are the principal causes for ~,
poor outlook. The scab is doing SER
Gus damage at the present time.
In Franklin county, from which Nj.
Gardner has lately returned, he finds
the apple outlook better than in many
other parts of the State. He found
the Baldwin crop looking fairly good
although the seab is working some
upon them and will seriously affect
the crop of fancy fruit. The Baldwins
are looking better than any OF the
other varieties and showing less Sob
than the Stark, Ben Davis, Spy or
Mcintosh Red.

vests and perhaps fertilizes more or
less extensively, yet the harvests are
never up to the average and often al
most total failures. Such farmers,
and there are many of them, need the
advice and supervision of farm eX-
and how to plant and cultivate their
crops. With this expert aid they could
soon turn the balance sheets of their
yearly accounts and become prosper
Gus rather than living along from hal
to mouth, running into debt and be-
coming discouraged with filling the
soil. The farm doctor could put the
whole farm on strong and healthy
feet.
But the county farm home life is
rust as important as fertile soil and
increased crop production. Not only
does eachecounty of the state need
soil doctor, but a doctor of household
science as we'll to visit the farm homes
to help the farm wives and mothers to
plan and execute ideas for better
home life. The department of house
hold science in our colleges of agri
culture are fitting girls and young
women in this special and important
line. Most of these young women
are now taking the domestic science
course in view of becoming teachers.
This is a worthy ambition. and in this
special field they can do much good.
er, who has had college training in
domestic science, is in a position to
do more general good than teachers,
who have had no such training. The
time is coming when every rural
school teacher must have this special
qualification and teach the farm boys
and girls the art Of better home life.
The homes and wives and mothers
of the farms are no small items of
Importance in rural life. Every coun-
t. could we'll afford to employ the
services of a trained and experienced
woman in domestic science and house
hold affairs to visit the farm homes
and confer with farmers wives in
household matters. The plan, if well
carried out would improve rural
home conditions immeasurably The
work would cover kitchen arrange
ment cooking, foods and food values,
table service, the home water supply,
lighting, heating and plumbing of the
dwelling, general home sanitation,
dwelling construction furnishing and
decorating, bedding and sleeping
apartments, hygiene, plan and decora
ton of home grounds and other things
of vital importance to the comfort,
health, pleasure and general welfare
of every member of the farm home.
In the matters of plumbing, lighting,
heating and construction of the dwell
ing, she could confer with both the
wife and husband whose interests are
mutual She could become of more
real assistance than the soil doctor,
and we predict her reality-sometime
