THE Easter. prom enade on

confirmation gown could be bought
for SIPS. So the gayly colored but
terf1ies went to church on Fifth Ave
nue., while a host of little white but
terf1ies honored Easter on the East
Side.
Lest the Easter of Twenty-Five
years ago seem imbued with too
much unalloyed happiness, the date,
April 5, 1896, should call to the
minds of some that that Sunday was
the first dry Sunday in New York.
On midnight of April 4 the Raines
law went into effect. What moanings
and groanings there were! No liouor
could be sold on Sunday without the
proverbial sandwich on the table.
Think of it! Persons wanting
Sunday drink would either have to
lay IN supply on Saturday night
or would have to order food with
their drink on Sunday!
s'Hardships' of the Day
The police were cautioned to he

some visitors may have missed-that
Atlantic City has churches. "For
the spiritual man." he says.
So, in spite of the Raines law.
Easter twenty-five years ago was a
gala day. Lest we should suppose
that the only Importance attached to
the day lay in materialistic festivi-
ties, it is assured that everybody
went to church. Church services
must precede the parade, so to speak
The crush was great at all the
churches, and the usual preparations
had been made for accommodating
the fashionable crowds. In several
instances tickets of admission were
required, and those who did not have
them were turned away.
AFTER the church services were
over the crowds turned with one con-
sent to Fifth Avenue for the annual
Easter promenade. From Fifty.
ninth Street almost to Madison
Square, between 1880 and 2 o'clocl,
the Avenue was blocked with gayl,
dressed women and their escort;
Such continuous stream of HI.
manity is seen in New York's mos

the year only. Of late yeats the

large an extent as formerly. The
clubs at Hampstead, Tuxedo and
other suburban places have become
possessed with great attractions for
society on Easter Sunday of late.
But, despite the fact that the repre-
sentatives of society were compara-
lively few, the Easter parade was a
remarkable exhibition of beauty and
general joyousness. Parade is just
the word to describe the movement
of the crowd. Most of the strollers
acted as if fully aware that they
were on exhibition, and were bound
to look their best
Not to be overwhelmed by the
scene of beauty and fashion, the re-
porter must have his little jokes. He
says:
"Suburbanites and visitors from
distance were, as usual, in attendance.
Some of them came from Brooklyn,
for they gasped furtively about at
every corner, looking for trolley cars.
They came from all over New Jer-
sey, for there was mud on their
shoes. They came from Philadel-
phia, for they walked as if asleep.

On the Boardwalk

Besides the Fifth Avenue parade,
another parade holds forth on Easter
with almost as much significance to
New York. 1t is that on the Board
walk in Atlantic City. Even as to-
day, Easter belonged to the gayest of
the gay in Atlantic City twenty-five
years ago. Chairs and bicycles were
factors in the crowd. Thousands of
guests filled the hotels. The hun

City have been commented upon.

PLANS FOR FARM BUILDINGS
Save Inconvenience and Extra Ex.

During the long evenings Of winter
make plans for new farm buildings.
Complete plans should be worked out
for the building before any expensive
foundations are put in, or else the re-
suit will be Inconvenience and extra
expense.
In building barn, first figure out
the number of horses and COWS that
will be kept, with any additional calf
pens, bull pens and harness rooms.
Then determine the amount of space
needed for each and draw them out on
paper. 1t will now be possible to pro-
vide alleys and driveways in the most
convenient places. Great numbers of
barns. are built with too much room
for cattle runways and other nonessen-
tial features that could be more cheap
ly provided in separate sheds. Plans
In many cases would have saved 10 or
20 feet Of gable roof, and at the same
time provided much more convenient
and useful building.

drink of water. If the weather il
cold the water should be slightly
warmed. A thin slop of bran and mid
dlings may be given IL she shows ac-
tual signs Of hunger. The feeding
for the first three or four days should
be light and the time consumed in
getting the SOW on full feed should
be from week to ten days.
1t is Of the greatest Importance in
raising pigs for the market that they
gain weight as rapidly as possible.
The first opportunity to force the pigs
comes when they are few weeks
old. Up to this time they have been
living solely on their DAMS milk, for
which no perfect substitute has been
found. After about three weeks the
young pigs begin to develop an appe-
tite for some accessory feed to sup
plement the sow's milk, and they
should be given some additional food.
The pigs will eat from the sow's
trough, but 1t is better that a pen or
"creep" be arranged adjoining that Of
the SOW, allowing the pigs to have ac-
cess to self-feeder in which shelled
corn alone is fed for couple of
weeks and afterwards shorts or wheat
middlings.
Pigs should be castrated while they
are young, preferably when six to eight
weeks old, and before weaning. De-
tailed information on this subject ia

a farm it would be well to inquire of
the department whether or not 1t had
made survey of the locality. If so,
and the report has been published, 1t
may be had for the asking.
It may be that in deciding to buy a
farm q definite type Of agriculture has
been determined upon. Some ques-
tions will arise. Where can land best
suited for that type be found? Upon
what soils can rice growing be safely
and prOfitably undertaken, or the pro-
duction Of tobacco Of the various kinds
be followed. or the raising of hogs
with alfalfa pasture as q feature in

Perhaps you would establish COM
mercial peach orchard in Georgia, en-
bark upon the growing Of long-staple
cotton in South Carolina, or specialize
In the production Of asparagus, pep
pers, tomatoes for canning, or lima
beans In New Jersey. The results of
the soil survey will help you to select
suitable land. The records of the de-
partment show steadily increasing

lications in this way.
