Queer Pepper Business.— When sweet 
peppers first began to be largely raised for 
this market they were practically controlled 
by one commission firm. They found that the 
picklcrs of this city could use many more 
than were then available, and induced several 
Jersey growers to go into the business on a 
larger scale. This went very well for a time, 
and the bulk of the crop sold at .$1.50 per 
barrel or more. Two or three cut price com¬ 
mission men went among the growers and 
by big promises got hold of part of the crop, 
which they promptly sold to the picklers at 
10 cent per barrel less than the original 
handler had been getting. Of course he had 
to meet this price or he could not sell any, 
and then anomer cut came, and so it has 
gone until after two years of this business, 
peppers, within the last week have gone for 
75 cents a barrel. This means that the 
grower is now selling peppers for 75 cents 
when he might just as well have double this 
or very near, for the pickling demand is 
just as good as it was and the low price is 
not caused bv over-production. 1 know two 
concerns that have been active in this busi¬ 
ness. This morning the cut price man got 
."09 barrels, while the original receiver had 
less than 25. The picklers used to pay $1.50 
without much grumbling. Now they are crazy 
and think there is no bottom to the price. 
Spraying Potatoes. —There is quite some 
spraying done here with Bordeaux Mixture on 
potatoes; some farmers think it pays and 
others think it does not, as in a good many 
instances pieces that were not sprayed, but 
had a decent show, will turn out better thaq 
some of those that have been sprayed. There 
is one certain thing about Bordeaux Mixture, 
and that is it keeps the vines green longer, 
and some farmers seem to think that they 
will grow longer, while others think the 
longer they keep green the more they are liable 
to rot. There were about 200 gallons of 
ready-mixed Bordeaux used here, and I took 
special pains to find out from some of the 
farmers who have used it whether it was 
satisfactory to them or not. and the reply 
is that it was for the number of times it was 
put on. Although a little dearer than home 
mixed, they thought it was worth the differ¬ 
ence not to have the bother to mix it.

Apple Orchards on New England Hills. 
—The soil varies in depth and roughness. 
Some of it was tilled with cobblestones, but 
was plowed and these stones removed. Some 
of these orchards on the sidehills have large 
depth and quite free from cobblestones. There 
are orchards on these soils still in existence 
and bearing good crops which have been set 
for 60 to 75 years or more; although many 
of the trees have died there are others left 
that look as though they were good for many 
years to come. Apples grown on these hills 
are of the best llavor, and such as the Bald¬ 
win and Williams Favorite of the highest 
color. Those grown on plain lower land are 
not to be compared with them in this respect. 
Most of the orchards in this vicinity have 
been neglected, and we have devoted our time 
to other specialties. I now make strawberries 
my specialty. 1 have now, September 15, 
plants of the Ban-American strawberry (an 
everbearing variety) that have nearly a quart 
of green and ripe fruit on them and the 
plants are covered with blossoms.

Some Alfalfa Experience. —I want to tell 
you something about our present effort at 
growing Alfalfa. We have studied as to best 
time to sow. 1 learned through Prof. Yoor- 
hees that his best catch was sown early in 
August, 1903, so we arranged accordingly. 
We had grown Alfalfa in the garden for three 
years. Prof. Voorliees advised us to examine 
for the nodules on our garden product. We 
found no evidence of any. He sent us one 
barrel of earth from his successful growth, 
and we sowed August 12. 30 pounds to the 
acre, and we have a splendid catch. It looks 
line, and is growing rapidly, so we feel quite 
encouraged to believe in this instance we 
shall succeed. I was at Allentown, N. ,L, 
recently, and looked at 10 acres which were 
a success, where it had been mowed three 
times, affording about seven tons of bay per 
acre. This person had sown another 10 acres. 
This soil was a sandy loam. Our land is 
somewhat heavier, and I have been fearful of 
too close a subsoil for the roots to penetrate. 
After reading your article on growing Alfalfa 
auout Syracuse, N. Y., I concluded the Alfalfa 
roots would penetrate any kind of soil provid¬ 
ed other conditions were all right.

A LINGERING COUGH 
The cough that holds on 
in spite of all remedies needs 
energetic and above all thor¬ 
ough treatment. A mere 
cough mixture won’t do. 
Root out the cold that causes 
the cough. 
How? Scott's Emulsion. 
Why Scott’s Emulsion? 
Because it stops the irrita¬ 
tion, soothes the tissues and 
heals the affected membranes. 
When ? Right away. 
Scott’s Emulsion begins to 
help with the first dose. 
We’ll send you a sample free upon request.
