Added to ImprrssiNcness.

The street crowds did indeed add TO
the impressvcrrss OF the parade for
almost without exception the oulookers,
Hike the marchers wore black. Nowhere
was there the slightest evidence Of any
tendency to jeer There was an unusual
predomnance OF women among the spec
tators. as II those who could not quite
bring themselves to march had lent the
support Of their presence.
There is little to say about such a
parade. The rank after rank OF black
or black and white clad women fling by
turning here and there to make way for
the new signal lamp posts, do not lend
themselves 20 varied descriptions. But
the effect was tremendous almost oppres-
sive. The duh padding Of hundreds OF
feet. the muff'ed beat OF the drums the
gray day and the silent spectators, who
stood for hours without a word, made \
symphony OF solcmni;y which New York
will not soon forget. It was indeed A
mourning parade.

COREAN PEDDLER is STRONG

The Corean is of sturdier physical
structure than either the Chinese or
the Japanese. He can bear much
greater burdens. The muscles of the
heels and back seem never to tire.
Many Corean coolies can vie with a
donkey in burden-bearing. On rack
made of two forked sticks fastened to-
gether in the crude resemblance of an
artists easel, Corean porter can car
ry 800 to $50 pounds, and sozaetimes
400. With load of deer hides, or of
pottery, weighing 200 to $50 pounds,
he can go steadily up a precipitous
mountain path. Yet, generally, the
Corean is an idler when it comes to
steady work. He will lie for house in
the sun, fat on his back and sucking
away on long-stemmed pipe. And he
can drop to sleep anywhere and almost
in twinkling With his head down
and his mouth wide open he can
slumber for hours in the broiling rays
of sun an American could not endure
for quarter of an hour.

SPRAYING FOR SOUND FRUIT
Experiments In Missouri Show That
Practically All Unsprayed Fruit 10
Ruined by Disease.

The man who still clings to the idea
that spraying does not aid in the pro-
duction Of fruit should be convinced
by the report of w. L. Howard of the
Department of Horticulture of the Uni
versity of Missouri. BY taking or
chards here and there over the state
Of Missouri, Prof. Howard has just fin
ished series Of experiments that
show that practically all unsprayed
fruit is ruined by diseases or insects.
In one orchard where part was
sprayed and a part was left unsprayed,
only 1.2 per cent of the Arkansas
black apples could be classed as clean
fruit after the trees had been left un-
sprayed. In the same orchard, where
the same brand of apples had been
sprayed, the crop Of clean fruit was
1871 per cent. Another orchard of
Missouri pippin apples experimental
with the same way resulted in 81
clean fruit for the unsprayed part and
SS.5 for that part which was sprayed.

The bride, who was Miss Katherine
Burritt, was gowned in long-tailed

old RELIC TO GO
Only Farmhouse on Manhattan
Island Given to City.
Quaint Homestead, Last of lts Kind In
Gotham, VIII BE Transferred to
lsham Park and Turned
Into Museum.

New York.-The last remaining
farmhouse on Manhattan island will
be formally presented to the city
within few days. Commissioner
Stover, who will accept the gift on
behalf Of the park department, has
promised to provide permanent site
for the ancient house in Isham park,
overlooking the Hudson river, in the
upper part of Manhattan island.
The house Is the old Dyckman res.
idence, which has stood for over a
century on portion Of the extensive
Dyckman farm, now cut up into
building lots and already showing the
effect of the northward trend of pop
ulation by the rows of apartment
houses which are rapidly wiping out
all trace Of the broad Dyckman mead
ows. The curious old farmhouse pre-
sents an odd contrast today to these
evidences of modern development as
one catches glimpse of it at the
corner of Two Hundred and Seventh
street from the trolley cars running
up Broadway. Had Broadway gone a
few feet more to the west or Two
Hundred and Seventh street bit
further to the north the career of this
interesting landmark which links New
York with one of its earliest Dutch
families would have been cut off sud-
denly, and there would have been no
tale to tell of its presentation to the
city and the preparations being made
by the Daughters Of the Revolution
to turn the old place into a museum.
The house was built in 1884, and it's
appearance has undergone practically
no change. 1t was the third Dyck-
man homestead, or rather farmhouse,
for the old Dyckman family prded
themselves on their skill as practical
farmers and never assumed manorial
magnificence, even in name, although

far away from any disturbance, and
where the fumes from the machines
will not be bother to the occupants
of the dwelling house, where the in
cubators are so often kept. AS the
running of any incubator requires
that a fairly close watch be kept
upon it to insure good hatch, 1t
would be necessary that the building
be located within short distance of
the dwelling house-at least within
100 feet.
The floor plan of the incubator eel
lar shows four incubators placed along
the side wall of the room. 1t will be
seen from the plan, however, that at
least eight incubators could be placed
in this room without crowding it to
the limit. Under the steps and along
the wall, as shown in the diagram, are
a number of shelves, on which eggs
may be stored, provided the tempera-
ture of the room is kept at point be-
tween 40 and 60 degrees. 1t has
been found that eggs that are kept
at temperature any higher than this
will be weakened to such great ex-
tent that the chances of good hatch
are reduced to the smallest. About
one-quarter Of the room is reserved
for a space to be used for sprouting
oats, and as this space would be
damper than the vest of the cellar, it
would be necessary for it to be board
ed in. Windows about two by three
inches are placed around the walls
of the cellar to allow sufficient venti-
lation. Care should be taken that
the windows that are shown directly
over the incubators are not opened in
severe weather, as this is liable to
affect the temperature of the egg
chamber.

floor and side walls are shown OF

LESSONS FROM THE DROUTH
Stronger Emphasis Than Usual is Laid
on Importance of Preparation
of Good Seed Beds.

A member Of the crop production of
the University of Illinois reports that
the results as seen in crops this year
seem to emphasize stronger than usual
the Importance Of good tillage. They
have shown also how important it is
in year like the present to prepare
good seed beds for the grain; that the
beds should be well packed, and soil
ON top loose, and a mulch on the very
6urface, in order that moisture be
conserved.
There were two crops in Illinois that

beans. The average yield was only a
few bushels lower than last year, pei
haps one-fifth, while the decrease in
the yield of oats was about one-hali
less than the yield Of last year. Corn,
of course, is not yet harvested, but the
prospects are that the yield will be
from one-third to one-half less. These
facts seem to be important ones fol
farmers to consider. 1t would seem ad
visable that every farmer of the state
should have a good field of alfalfa and
a field of soybeans to meet just such
an emergency as the one of this year

they owned more acres than scores
of old city families which have been
credited with great land posses
sions.
Jan Dyckman was the ancestor of
the Manhattan island family of that
name. History states that he joined
his Dutch neighbors in the little set
tlement around the fort in 1866, when
the town had just come under Eng
1ish rule. Perhaps that is one reason
which induced Jan to get as far away
as he could from the English rulers
and yet remain on the island, for less
than ten years later he was the owner
of several hundred acres at the north
'ern extremity, bordering Spuyten
Duyvil.
There. for over two hundred years
the Dyckmans lived, exemplifying to
the minutest detail the traditional
characteristics of the Dutch in frugal
tity, industry, simple yet generous hos
lpitality, and the art of minding their
own business. When necessity de-
lmanded they served the city as alder
men or constables, and they were al
ways active in furthering the best in
lterests of the early Harlem village.
Later members of the family added
to the broad acres acquired by the
original arrival, and at one time near
1y the entire tract of fertile meadow
land north of Fort George hill, as far
as Spuyten Duyvil, was owned by
the Dyckmans.
The first Dyckman farmhouse stood
In the upper part of the tract near
lSpuyten Duyvil creek. 1t was small
house, later replaced by large build
ing bordering on the Harlem little
to the east of the present Dyckman
house at Broadway and Two Hundred
and Seventh street. 1t was burned
during the Revolution by the British.
The family lost no time in restoring
their damaged property. One year
after the evacuation of the city by the
British the present home was finished.
1t was built by Jacobus Dyckman, the
eldest of the nine children of William
Dyckman. The latter died in the
house In 1887.
The present Dyckman house is now
Judge. They bought 1t several years
ago from tho purchaser of the old

of wild grasses and weeds. On ac-
