earlier steamers for those who had
transportation on vessels sailing the
latter part of August or early in Sep
tember The one and only object Of
the American travellers appeared to be
TO get home as soon possible.
The crowd of tourists was augmented
by many American and Canadian resi-
dents who, owing to the dislocation OF
business were anxious Of taking the op-
portunity of visiting their homSs. The
Cunard, the White Star and other British
and Dutch lines did an immense business
accepting many passengers who had in
tended to sail on Hamburg-American
liners, all of which had been definitely
withdrawn from the service.
The withdrawal of La Provence of the
French transatlantic line also provided
many customers for the steamship COM
panies still doing business.

TALK OF THE TOWN

Naughan's.
Ernest A. Drown and Frank Hutchin-
son returned this morning ON the Green
Mountain express from Boston, where
they have been attending the automobile
show.
Mrs. Clarence Wood of North Main
street, who has been attending the
spring millinery openings in Boston and
New York for the past 10 days, returned
home last evening.
The chances for disastrous flood in
the vicinity of Potash brook have been
greatly mitigated by the action of the
street department in thawing out the
channel from Depot square to the rear
OF the Buzzell block. Several days ago
taxpayers owning property along the
brook became alarmed at the prospects
of food such as occurred in that viein-
ity a few years ago. The street super
intendent was asked to look the situa-
tion over and his investigation disclosed
the fact that ice in the channel had at
tanned thickness of more than five feet
in many places. The brook was well
nigh choked with ice and even then
there was imminent danger of small
food should the warm spell continue.
This morning the city's portable steam
engine was moved to Depot square and
the process of thawing out the channel
by means of steam vas started by a
gang of street laborers. Once the OPP
Grafton was under way, steam began to
issue from every creviee, manhole, etc,
along the course of the brook. The SUI
perintendent was satisfied that the ice
would be shortly dislodged without
damage to abutting property owners.

The Apple Aphid.

] have two dozen young Baldwin
apple trees, planted in spring OF
1911. Last summer they We're covered
with tiny insects on the bottom of
the leaves, and thought they would
all die, but. late in the summer, new
leaves came out. Kindly tell me what
they We're and q preventative.
Dover. Ii. ,.
From your description the insect
which troubled your apples last sea
son was the apple aphid. From all
accounts the aphid seemed to be par
ticularly bad last summer over most
of the eastern part of the United
States and the apple aphid was no
exception. If you spray these trees
now, or any time during the winter,
while they are dormant with lime
sulphur wash (either home made or
bought, you will kill q great many
of the eggs Of the aphids, which are
laid on the bark of the branches and
twigs There are at least two good
lime sulphur washes on the market,
which YOU can undoubtedly secure
from local scotsman. These are
Just as elficacious as the homemade
product, and, If you only have a few
trees to spray, is would be cheaper
for you to use these than to make

uble oils will also give you good re-
suits in destroying the eggs of the
aphids during the winter. In using
either of these compounds you will
have added advantage Of killing any
San Jose scale which happens to be
on the trees, and you undoubtedly
know that this is one Of the worst
insects we have here in the East at
the present time. During the summer
time these winter sprayings should
be supplemented with applications of
kerosene emulsion or a solution of
whale oil soap.

exclude them, and this should be
taken into account in selecting a To-
cation. 1t is generally best to locate
the poultry house at. some distance
from other farm buildings. especially
if grain IS kept in the latter. Con-
Venienee of access and freedom from
Vermin are two desirable points to
be secured. and they depend largely
upon the location. Everything con-
sidered, it is safest to have the house
quite isolated.
The Question of Soil.
\ dry, porous soil is always to be
preferred as a site for buildings and
yards Cleanliness and freedom from
moisture must be secured if the
greatest success is TO be attained.
Without doubt, filth and moisture are
the causes, either directly or indi-
rectly, of the majority of poultry dis
eases, and form the stumbling block
which brings discouragement and
failure TO many amateurs. 1t must
not be inferred that poultry cannot
be successfully reared and protitably
kept on heavy soils, for abundant
proof to the contrary is readily fur
nished by successful poultry men
who have to contend with this kind of
land. The necessity FOR cleanliness,
however, is not disputed by those
who have had extended experience in
caring for fowls, particularly the less
hardy breeds. That an Open porous
soil can be kept comparatively clean
with much less labor than clay soil
will be evident TO those who are at
all acquainted with the habits of do
mesticated fowls.
When the fowls are confined in
buildings and yards that part of the
yard nearest the buildings will be-
come more or less filthy from the
droppings and continual tramping to
which it is subjected. A heavy or
clayey soil not only retains all OF the
manure on the surface, but by retard-
ing percolation at times OF frequent
showers aids materially in giving TO
the whole surface "a complete coating
of filth II knoll or ridge can be
selected where natural drainage Is
perfect the ideal condition will be
nearly approached. Where naturally
favorable conditions as to drainage
do not exist thorough underdrainage
will go a long way toward making the
necessary amends to insure success.
Next week will be discussed the
various way of starting with poultry
by buying pullets, one day old chicks,
Matching under hens, etc.

Here is what breeder of the lively
little brown Leghorn has to say OF
his favorite breed:
The brown Leghorn Is the maj
word in persistent and heavy egg
production, under any and all circum-
stances under which fowls are kept.
In 1884 the first Leghorns were i'm
ported into this country, called then
red Italians, but later changed to
brown Leghorns, after interest deVel-
oped in their wonderful egg-laying
qualities, and the name of the port in
Italy from which they came became
known. Since then, the other varie-
ties of Leghorns have originated from
flocks of brown Leghorns In this
country and England. Not until the
advent of the brown Leghorn did the
egg industry in this country amount
to anything, and all the popular
American breeds of today which lay
claim to egg-producing qualities, OBJ
tained them by u cross with the Leg
horn.
The brown Leghorn is of a nervous
disposition, always alert and active,
and for this reason she bears con-
finement well without becoming lazy
and fat as do any of the heavier
breeds. a lazy or fat fold is never
in a condition to lay many eggs, ond,
as the city man or suburbanite wants
hens that will lay lots of eggs, rata
er than hens fat enough to kill, but
laying no eggs, he can do no better
than pick upon the brown Leghorn.
A flock of Leghorn hens will be good
until the fourth year, and. when "a
flock is once obtained they need not
be disposed OF in a year or so. They
are non sitters and lay in winter as
well as summer. The color of their
plumage is especially adapted to the
needs of the city or town poultry

in appearance, is Vaughan's Fire
Ball. 1t has a small top, thus taking
up but little room in the garden. 1t
Is q smooth, round beet of the most
intense fiery red imaginable when
cooked, without trace of the pur-
plish color most beets have.
If you prefer the dark ones, plant
Burpee's black-red ball. This Is the
darkest of any in color and is very
sweet and tender. These three beets
are totally unlike in appearance, bur
are all of the best quality. Beets of
different varieties should not be
cooked or served together, as their
distinctive characteristics will then
be lost.
Sweet, or sugar corn, is one of the
vegetables which best pays for a
place in the home garden, as the
sweetness is lost soon after picking.
The writer has raised several varie-
ties and eaten still more, but IL black
Mexican wants my vote for best and
sweetest, it can have it. The only
objection 10 this sort is its color
and that Is not an objection at all,
IS the Irishman would say. 1t is col
ored only when it is old and should
have been used before, yet it is much
better when old than most sorts. IL
you once raise this corn, pick the ears
when showing the first violet tint. re-
move the hus<s. place the corn in an
agate kettle with one inch of boiling
water. heap the inside leaves over the
corn, cover tight, and steam fifteen or
twenty minutes-no more. Thus
cooked. anyone will pronounce it the
best ever.
For early use grow Golden Bantum;
for late, Country Gentlemen. These
two, planted at the same time, sue
coed each other just right for use.
BY a test planting last year, the yield
per given sowing was greater when
planted SO as to have one stalk every
nine inches than by growing four
stalks in hill three feet each way.

March is almost gone and 1t Is
the last call to make ready the
hotbed. Fresh horse manure. suf-
ficient to ill the bottom of the
bed, must be procured. The ma
nure is forked over loosely about
three times, at intervals of about two
days, and, if the manure Is rather
dry, it may be wet at each Iorklng-
over If the manure Is very fine, free
from bedding. and rich, one-fourth
leaves may be mixed with II. Inc
forking-over is very necessary to pro-
long the fermentation and consequent
heat after the manure is in the bed,
and the addition of leaves is for the
same purpose. When all Is ready,
transfer the heap of manure quickly
into the bed, that 1t may not

First, put evenly over the surface OF

to four inches in depth when stamped

this manure with four inches OF
sifted TOP soil. Now put on the sash,

has fallen to seVenty-tive degrees, be-
gin seed planting.
Procure a board about six inches
wide and as long as the inside width

of one edge so as TO make sharp

soil, making rows from one-quarter
to one-half inch deep, parallel to each
other and three inches apart Drop

to the size of the seedlings which

1t is entirely possible for you to
have beans and corn all summer long
from making successive sowings Of
one variety and it can he done with
the peas, but l should prefer to plant
an early variety, and then, for my
main crop, plant one of the taller
,arger-podded sorts. For summer
sowing for late peas, it will be neces-
sary for you to plant an early variety,
and even then you must spray the
plants with potassium sulphide at tho
rate of One-half ounc" to one gallon
of water, to keep down the mildew;
for during the dogdays i'll August the
