END DIVISION
 IHIRTY MILES
 BEYOND RHINE

That the Second Division of the American army was 90 miles beyond the Rhine and advancing toward Der lin when the peace treaty was sign ed was the statement made today by Major c Lincoln Banks of this city who arrived home for a fur tough. Dr. Banks was in France and Germany for over a year as a mem Der of the Medical Corps of the Uni ted States army.
 He said the soldiers of the Second division which included several fam ous companies of Marines were very anxious to march into Berlin and were bitterly disa ppointed when word came for them to halt. During the period when they were held in Germany the men were dissatisfied but they showed plenty of spirit when the order to advance further into Germany came
 Major Banks is stationed at Camp Upton at present burt expects to get his discharge soon. He is one of the best known physicians in the city and will probably resume private practice here when he obtains his dis charge.

New York, July 17-Oficers of the Marine Workers Affiliation, which conducted the recent harbor strike wanted to keep agreements, it was men to work with non-union strike breakers.
 We want to keep our contracts with the towing companies" said one representative of the harbor men,
 but we might as well face the true situation I think our men will be reasonable, but there is no denying they will not care to tow or otherwise assist ships operated by strike break ers.'
 The second week of the strike of seamen, iremen, oilers and water tenders of American coastwise and gulf vessels opened today with the United States Shipping Board in structing divisional agents to arrange for having civilians sworn in as dep- uty sheriffs on all vessels of the Board that are tied up.
 There was an tntimation that if conditions warranted, the Government might be asked for troops. Private ship owners said if the police were unable to prevent intimidation and destruction of property, they would not hesitate to ask Governor Smith for State troops.
 Though only one serious disturb ance was reported yesterday, hundreds of strikers p1cketed piers and gave ev-

WILLIAM J. STEWART.

William ]. Stewart, the editor OF
Horticulture, died at his winter home
In Boston February %. He was born
March II. 1S4s, In Cambridge. Mass.
Always fond of flowers. at Fl he was
employed at Harvard University Co
tanic Gardens, and later was engaged
In the wholesale and retail plant and
flower business: later he became en-
gagged in the horticulture publishing
business.
Mr.. Stewart served as secretary TO
the Society Of American Florists for
nineteen years, from 1888 to 1905,
when he resigned that position to de-
vote his whole time to the manage
ment Of Horticulture: In 1907 he was
president of the Society Of American
Florists and he was the first presi-
dent Of the Gardens and Florists Club
of Boston.
Mr.. Stewart was an able writer on
horticultural subjects; he was n thor
ough lover OF horticulture in all its
phases, as was best attested from the
surroundings OF his beautiful home at
Winchester. Mass. The well planned
features of his garden grounds there
demonstrated his ability as a landscape
gardener. These estates of his con
tained many specimens OF rare trees
and shrubs, and Mr.. Stewart was in
his glory when he had friends at his
home to whom to show these rare
plants. In his passing away American
horticulture has sustained a severe

A GARDEN DIARY.

To those who have never tried the
scheme and especially to those who
VIII start this season to make and
plant a home garden ] suggest they
add the diary feature to their garden
activities. It is a most important
factor and strong incentive to keep
pushing on in an energetic manner to
secure practical results. We have
found il helpful in many ways. 1t Is
q waste preventer. time. labor and
money saver. A garden like all other
enterprises TO be successful must be
run on some efficient plan or system.
While we get recreation and pleasure
in the garden IL also has a commercial
side and 1t is essential and also en-
couraging to get good profitable re-
turns. II our endeavors fail to be
crowned with success, many get dis
couraged and quit. 1t is here where
the diary steps in as a consoling friend.
\ glance through the pages of the
little book will show where the mis-
takes were made and why the work
was a failure.
II is through experience OF this kind
that we are prompted to try again and
make a more intelligent start the next
time.
Coupled with patience and the hoe
the diary makes winning combina-
ton and saves the gardener from
putting on his thinking cap or racking
his memory about what was done the
season before: whether the spring was
early or late: when the soil was spaded
and the date OF the first planting;
where the seeds were purchased; what
quantity and which the most pro-
6uctive; what plants. shrubs and trees
were set out and did they thrive or
die
The writer has found the best way
TO keep a diary is TO make map Of
the garden and number the plots and
planting spaces. Plant in straight
lines, as rows are easily worked. which
means less labor. and the growing
crops look neat and attractive.
Working this way We can keep
track of the location and the number
OF rows OF the different kinds Of vege-
tables that were planted. a garden
planted and cultivated in the proper
manner is bound to be a success. And
it is no figure of speech to say that
all the picture galleries in the universe
have nothing on a well kept productive
garden. 1t is n Joy to your neighbor,
a pleasure to the eye from early spring
until the autumn leaves begin to fall.
The time required 10 write up n diary
is practically Mi. ten minutes in the
evening will suffice. During the long
winter evenings a short perusal OF the
little classic will be pleasant reading
and a silent eloquent reminder OF the
gardening days that have passed
Make it the ledger and cash book OF
the garden. JOHN II. HAMILL.

USEFUL REPTILES.

Growers OF fruits may give little
thought to the peril OF fruit trees
killed by the attacks upon their bark
Of species of wild mice in winter I'M
less their OK Is gored." That the
girdling Of fruit trees by mice working
under the snow Is n factor in the
hazards that fruit growers may well
include in their calculations is unde-
niably attested by frequently reported
occurrences.
A serious case of this kind is made
known through Allen s. Williams. di-
rector Of the Reptile Study Society of
reported to the society recently by
one of it's members. L. W. Hopper OF
East Orange, N. j.
Mr.. Hopper was commissioned to
try to effect the sale of a farm for
the executor OF the estate Of the owner
lately deceased. The farm was located
in Litchfield county, Connecticut. The
farm was possessed OF many unusual
attractions and especially boosted one
OF the finest producing orchards in its
section of Litchfield county.
The record cold winter of l9l7-i9iS
was too much for the calculations OF
the field mice when laying up their
winter stock of food; in their desper-
ate hunger they had recourse to the
fruit trees, completely gnawing the
bark beneath the SHOWS surface in a
four inch wide girdle from every tree
in the orchard, killing every one of
them. A result is not only to depre-
ciate the selling value of the farm by
several hundred dollars, but possibly
to make the property unstable.
1t IL easily conceivable to any rep
tile scientist that the sparing and con-
sequent prevalence Of two species OF
harmless serpepts, the common black
snake and the milk snake. by the own
ers or occupants of this farm and
other farms in its vicinity, might have
so kept down the numbers OF feld
mice that some, II not all, of this de-
struction might have been averted.
1t might be added that the sparing
OF these two species Of snakes should
appeal strongly TO the poultry hus-
bandman, II he is wise enough to COM
prehend and realize II. Rats have
played havoc with many n flock OF
chickens and some entire flocks have
even been totally destroyed by rodents
in one night. The common blacksnalie
has sometimes been accused of steal
ing eggs and even day-old chicks, but
tho same snake in his normal life time
would probably destroy hundreds OF
rodent vermin for each possible stolen
egg or chick.
