most shamefully passing her by as il

years old and knew as little about ro'

carried full-lepgth portraits of girls

/ romantic nature Of the mother who
had named her, had often pictured
to herself how exotic and fascinating
these society breakfasts must be in
comparison with the oatmeal and
coffee which she and her father
consumed from the kitchen table every
morning at = o'clock.
Often the persistent and rather
comely Desdemona had succeeded in
attending charity teas or art eXhi-

caught fleeing glimpses OF these fa-

HEAVY RAINS DO LITTLE
DAMAGE TO CONN. CROPS
Only Harm Resulting From Holiday
Downpour Is Little Delay In
Harvesting.

Hartford, Sept. Z Pl-Copious as
the rains were over Labor's holiday
little or no damage to standing
crops was done in Connecticut In
quiry made today by Commissioner
of Agriculture Philo T. Plat Of
Newtown, from his office in the
state capitol, indicated that in no
section of the state was the rainy
weather accompanied by damaging
breezes. Agriculture did not suf-
fer from the Storm" the commits
sioner said. THE only apparent eff
feet was to delay some harvesting,
but as all crops are very late even
the harvesting was not materially
interrupted. The only element in
troduced into the situation is that
the hazard Of damage by an early
frost has been increased but this is
more directly due to the lateness of
all crops rather than the storm it
self. The tobacco crop was being
gathered in some places and the

York, soon is to be ousted from it's

building have been sold.
But the huge building program
spreading northward from the river
and westward from the lake seems
destined finally TO overwhelm the
village. Already its inhabitants, art
lists and writer's and the usual camp
followers of studio life, are moving
farther north and west into new
territories. However, for those who
know where to find them there are
still plenty of book stores, tea rooms,
basement cafes, clubs, little theatres
and the like to maintain the artistic

was so serious that ambulances were
unable to make their way through.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.
reported that lightning caused seri-
Gus damage to wires over a wide
area from New York to Washing

Marooned at Coney
More than 100000 holiday visitors
were marooned on Coney Island
when the storm broke. Subway lines
failed then and taxicabs were unable
10 take care of the clamoring
crowds. Incoming trains were de-
layed one and two hours.
Traffic on Staten Island was still
domoralized this forenoon. The
principal roads were almost impass-

Several Advantages in
Fall Freshening of Cow

There are several advantages in
having the cows freshen in the fall
provided there is a sufficient supply of
labor available during the winter
months. Cows freshening in the fall
may be fed so that they will produce
a good flow of milk during the winter
months. During the latter part of this
period the flow tends to decrease, but
it will be increased with the stimulus
of spring pasture. The period of
smallest flow will be during the latter
part of the summer, when conditions
are not favorable for high milk pro-
duction and labor can be used to adj
vantage In other farm work. This
tends to equalize labor to a greater
extent than when the majority Of the
cows freshen in the spring.
Calves born In the fall make good
growth during the winter and are
able to make some use Of the pasture
In the spring. Calves born in the
spring are not sufficiently mature to
make much use of pasture even in the
latter part Of the same season, on ac-
count of the annoyance Of heat and
flies.

Proper System of Swine
Sanitation Cuts Losses

system of swine sanitation devel-
oped by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture IN
Mclean county, Illinois, has gradually
snread until 1t is widely used In hog
growing states. The method used
greatly reduces losses caused by
roundworms, and extension workers in
Iowa. Nebraska and other states have
been active in acquainting swine grow
ers with it. The bureau of animal in
lustry. United States Department OF
Agriculture, says that many hog men,
using the system, are now raising as
many pigs as formerly with about
two-thirds as many brood sows, being
equivalent to reducing pig losses one
third. The method, though directed
principally against roundworms, is SO
effective in controlling other disease
conditions that death losses from any
, cause are rare and runtiness is seldom
observed.
The foregoing results show the prac-
ticaI application of scientific work
which at its outset was extremely
technical and involved detailed study
