Frost Damage in Maryland 
April 25.—The frost damage was more 
serious than it appeared at first to be. 
The grapevines, which had made shoots 
six inches long, lost the new growth back 
to the old wood. One grower lost 10 
acres of beans and others smaller areas. 
One large grower of strawberries and 
orchard fruits estimates his loss at 
.$50,000. I hope this is an overestimate, 
for I find plenty of sound fruit on my 
trees. The string beans which I plowed 
soil over are still green after uncovering 
them this morning, but the corn is killed 
and the Irish potatoes will have to start 
again. Replanting is now the order of 
the day, and no one will be ahead of 
anyone. The ('annas, which had shot, 
above ground, will have to try it again, 
and the Dahlias, too. To the market 
growers the loss of seed is pretty heavy, 
while with us home gardeners it does 
not amount to much. The tomatoes will 
stay in the frames till it. looks like set¬ 
tled weather. One grower lost eight 
acres of early tomatoes. This is the first 
lime I have known tomatoes killed so 
late in April. I was wise to keep my 
plants under glass. Mark Twain was 
right; we do not have climate—only 
.weather. But 1 feel sure that the esti¬ 
mated damage to the peach and other 
fruits is overestimated. Strawberries are 
certainly badly hurt, as they were last 
year. \Ve got one cutting of asparagus, 
and it went to Winter quarters, and now 
1 see some timid shoots at the surface to 
see if tin* coast is clear, w, F, massey.

Filtering Water 
Will you tell me the host way to con¬ 
struct a water filter sufficient to filter 
water, rendering it fit for family use? 
New York. c. L. l. 
Filtering water may not render it fit 
for family use; much depends upon what 
it is filtered for. Suspended matter in 
the water, making it. roily, may be re¬ 
moved b.v passing it through aaiul or 
gravel, or charcoal, or all three, hut if 
the water has been contaminated by dis¬ 
ease germs, simple filtration will he of 
no avail in purifying it. Cistern water 
is often cleared by building a partition 
of unglazed brick in the cistern, admit¬ 
ting the rain water upon one side and 
withdrawing it from the other after it 
has seeped through. Box filters of any 
desired size may be made by placing 
layers of sand, crushed charcoal and 
gravel alternately iu a box or barrel and 
causing the water to be filtered to pass 
through them before being used The 
water may be admitted either at the bot¬ 
tom or the top of the box. and drawn ofT 
from either above or below. Sand or 
gravel alone will sometimes filter water 
sufficiently, but a layer of crushed char¬ 
coal between will add to their efficiency. 
The size needed will depend altogether 
upon how much water is to be filtered, 
but all filters become foul with use and 
need to be frequently renewed or re¬ 
placed. A little experimenting with some 
clean sand or gravel in layers a few 
inches thick and the water that you wish 
to cleanse will enable you to construct a 
filter that will probably be suited to your
