THE FARM ADVISER.

Two or three years ago they en-
ployed a Farm Adviser at Rockville,
Conn. He happened to be of an in
curing and experimenting turn of
mind, and also to know something
about soils. The short of the story is
that he soon had the farmers of the
county raising cucumbers both winter
and summer. 1t seems that the soil of
that county is so peculiarly adapted to
this plant that it produces cucumbers
with as distinct flavor as the Rocky
Ford melons are different from the
same variety of melons grown else
where. And this season Rockville
shipped 200, 900 cucumbers a day to the
pickle factories. This winter large
quantities of them will be grown in hot
houses to supply the luxurious tables
of those who can afford to pay fifteen
or twenty cents apiece for them. 1t is
a new industry. which is making hun
dreds of Connecticut farmers rich And
a lowly Farm Adviser did it!-Iola Reg

Grand Opera.
By ROY K. MOULTON.


Grand opera may be mighty fine
And nifty and be all the rage,
And quite the most expensive line
OF music that's sung on the stage.
It's called the standard, but for mine
L much prefer the narrow gauge.
L guess it's pretty plain to see
That L am not much of a hand
For music that comes DER the sea.
The music 1 call grand
And that which makes a hit with ME
Is the music that understand.
L don't pretend to be a shark
On technique or capriccio.
And L am rather in the dark
On measures malincolico.
L Know I'm an fashioned mark,
Because my wife has told me so.
But still should you ask me today
what is the real and only thing
In music, 'cordfng to my way
OF fgurin' it out, by jing.
L guess that L would have to saw
The songs my mother used to sing.

ASPHALT PLANT
INCREASE ASKED
Commissioners Want $eO,OOO, Instead of $s5pOO, For
Establishment of Municipal Enterprise, Follow
ing Report of Inquiry.

Following an investigation of the
cost and desirability of establishing
municipal asphalt plant in the Dis
trict, the Commissioners have sent to
Congress a request that the item of
$4,000 contained in their annual esti-
mates for this purpose be increased
to $4,000. This is in accordance with
the report of David E. McComb, en-
gineer of bridges. made public today.
in which is set forth the advantages
of a municipal asphalt plant over the
present contract system.
The District appropriation act for
the fiscal year 1918 contained an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to enable the
commissioners to make a thorough
investigation of the desirability and
cost of establishing a municipal as
phalt plant. The appropriation be-
came available July /. 1912. and on
the same date the Commissioners ap-
pointed to make the investigation.
David Z. McComb. former superin-
tendent of sewers and recently ap-
pointed engineer of bridges to sue
ceed T. c.. j. Baily.
Many Cities Visited.
Mr.. McCorb began the investigation
at once and in connection Herewith
visited the following cities In which
asphalt plants have been es-
tablished: Detroit, Mich: Brooklyn, N.

WHALES AT WORK
LIKE SHEEP DOGS
Made to Herd Schools of Herrings
Into Port for Fish
ermen.

VICTORIA, British Columbia, Jan. 2.
From Prince Rupert comes the report
that two huge whales have been en-
gagged to herd the shoals of herring into
that port for the benefit of the fisher
men and the plan has met with such
success that whales are to be used here
after as the '.sheepdogs" of the sea at
the northern terminal
The two whales display a lorily In
difference to everything except herring.
with the result that big catches are be-
ing made.
The whales drove the herring close
to shore and after opening their mouths
TO wide angle they went through the
shoal of fish at high speed, with the
result that many of the herring were
missing from the shoal The gulls fiy-
ing over the whales locate the leviathans
and the fishermen instead of making
long trips for their catch are now fol-
lowing the gulls. with the result that
big hauls are the rule.

Pittsburgh, Pa. and Cleveland, Ohio.
Information also was obtained from
New Orleans. San Francisco. Spokane,
Seattle, and Winnepeg, Manitoba, which
operate municipal plants.
The decision reached by Mr.. McComb
is that there is no doubt but that the in
stallation and operation of a municipal
plant would be advantageous to the Dis
trict. The Commissioners concur in
this.
The total saving to this District
in round numbers is not figured by
Mr.. McComb, but that economy would
result Is indicated by comparison of
the cost of the work under the existing
contract and the estimated cost of the
work by a municipal plant. For in
stance. the contract price for standard
asphalt pavement a square yard is sl.72
The estimated price with a municipal
plant Is $l.42 square yard.
The contract price for standard
asphalt surface is 62Jz cents a square
yard. which il is estimated would be
IS and a fraction cents with a NUM-
cipal plant.
Would Cost Sso,ae7.
