Grout, to the Board of Health and the police; but no relief. Not even uhe appearance of any attempt to fenoo the filth, ash and paper dump situated between Third and Fourth avenues and Third and streets. This property is reported to belong to the Litchfield estate; they have given the contractors who remove ashes and other filth, the privilege of dumping in that unfenced space. There, is one entire block of houses between Third and Fourth avenues on the south side of this dump, containing over one hundred families, and with the prevailing winds nearly all the filth that the imagination can put together is twisted into clouds and driven into these apartments. Mixed with this, as though actually intended to kill, is 'that stream of fifth, Gowanus, whoso head pntrifieation sweeps up and around this terrible dump.

The officers and under officers of the last Board of Health certainly must have been very negligent In their duties to have allowed this dump to commence its poisonous deposits without fencing its boundaries first. Tlie ashes and all the barrels contain are taken from the different routes on a particular day throughout the Park Slope and deposited on. this unfenced dump, but not a week passes by witheut our having a good, yet bad, percentage of its foulness Returned to us with every favorable wind and 'this nearly every' day. Have the police ever reported this unfenced dump to the proper authorities with its resultant nuisance? Has the owner of this dump property ever been notified of this unlawful condition of affairs? Have the Board of Health officers never seen it? If eo, have they ever or never taken action? Has the policeman on this beat never reported it? and, will the new order of 'things see that 'this dump is fenced, and fenced at once, not later, but now? HA WORTH. Brooklyn, January 23, 1898.

il spue oi tne taxation and probaDiy our oil roans are an attraction sutncient to offset the tax rate in the eyes of many of the wealthy people who have come among us. In some sections It is said that the increased taxes result from the increase in valuation of real estate owing to the build of these roads already pays the increased caufdvhbJn and when the new system is corn nvted the same result will follow. We have splendid material for good dirt roads right in our town. Our marl and gravel mixed makes a first class highway, good at all seasons." An interesting paper on forcing lettuce was read by Professor S. H.

Beach of the State Agricultural Experiment Station. The speaker said: "I visited the famous Rawson lettuce houses at Bostou and could but express admiration the splendid display. Some of the things I observed about his houses were that they are well lighted and well ventilated. The north side of the building is about nine feet in height to the plate and is built of boards; the south side'is four feet. The houses are heated 'by steam ins tead of hot water or furnaces.

The lights of glass on the roof and sides are large eighteen inches by thirty inches. The supports are wooden sash bars witn wooden purlings and iron pipes as supports. The plants grow in beds. The seedlings are started in houses with a temperature of almost 50 degrees. The soil is moderately light, very fine: hardly any manure is used.

After preparing the bed he scatters tne seed over the surface and spnn kls evenlv over the seed a laver of fine sand. The plants, when sufficiently grown, are first I set out in beds covered with a layer of sand i and are set at a distance of four inches by four inches apart. The sand surface of the bed is dry. but underneath the dirt is moist. They are stili kept cool.

After they are grown larger the plants are again transplanted in other beds, covered with a layer of sand and set out to a distance of eight inches by nine inches apart. They are then forced, the tern lf IUU1 I UCIII ICllftlt IU 1 CC 111 Lli The withering and dying out of the edges of the leaves often noticed when, after several days of cioudy weather the sun comes out hot and clear, can be avoided by introducing artificial moisture into the air of the greenhouse. The roots have been tiuiescent during the dark, cloudy period and fail to respond to the demand suddenly made upon them to meet the evaporation caused by the sunlight, and they must be assisted. Raw son grows his own seed. He selects i Mr.

the best plants for seed and afterward makes a second selection by floating the seeds in water which has been boiled. The nature of the soil has much to do with successful lettuce growing. The famous curled lettuce of Grand Rapids, is grown only on one side of the city. "We have been experimenting in lettuce growing at the Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, a long time and will give the result of our work in a bulletin late this year. We have found that sub irrigation has marked advantage over surface irrigation.

First class lettuce retails Rochester at this time at 12 cents per head and probably brings similar prices in other Northern cities."

The New Men Assigned to Duty in the Three Villages Captain Hance and His Force Summarily Relieved From Duty and Ordered to Remove Their Belongings From the Newly Established Police Headquarters. (Special to the Eagle.) Flushing, February 2 A force of thirty three policemen from New York City swooped down upon this town at 11:30 this morning. The men were under command of Sergeant Contrell and Inspector of Buildings Nicholas Brooks, aud Roundsman Cohen accompanied the detachment.

The men were distributed throughout the town as follows: Flushing, 13 men; College Point, 10 men; Whitestone, 10 men. The local policemen were taken by surprise, although they had expected a change long before this. When the New York police arrived they took possession of the town hall and the local police were informed by Contrell that they were relieved from further duty, and Captain Charles Hance was instructed to notify his men to remove their uniforms forthwith. The news of the ousting of the local police spread like wild fire and crowds of citizens gathered in front of the town hall and discussed the situation. Indignation ran high.

The Flushing police force has been in existence about twelve years during which time Captain Charles Hance was in command. Six new men were recently appointed. The village trustees before passing out of existence made provision for the maintenance of the police. An appropriation of was made by the village authorities to pay the salaries of the thirteen men for the current year. In College Point and Whitestone similar provision was made and the men claim they were legally appointed and their removal so suddenly is entirely uncalled for.

The new policemen, who are total strangers in town, were immediately assigned to duty. The local policemen look very gloomy to day. Only recently they purchased new uniforms involving a cost of nearly $50 each. The old policemen of Flushing, College Point and Whitestone say they will test this matter in court. About forty New York City policemen passed through this city to day.

Several sergeants were in command of the men, who had been assigned to do duty in the borough of Queens. Ten of the men went aboard a special train for Far Rockaway, while the others shortly before noc took train for Jamaica and Flushing. SURROGATE'S COURT. Jamaica, L.

(Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. Yom' rday's session of the Farmers' Institute, held in Ail'Ti Hall.

Mineola. under the diin tiun the York State Bureau of r'tiitio is' Institute. was one of them oit interesting which has Wen hold in this county lor some time, in the Opening address on "i'rofu in I'oultry" H. Valentine, associate editor of the Rural New Yorker, spoke tsubstant Lilly as follows: "The raising of poultry for meat can no longer bo made profitable, owing to the fact that the cold storage business has taken away all the profits that used to come from early raised chickens and it enables dealers to keep I down prices of all kinds of poultry at all times. I Keeping ixmltry for egg production can be made profitable.

The while leghorns and those other classes that are good layers should be selected for the business and only young fowl Should be kept over. They should be kept warin in the winter and their best feed is wheat bran, ground oats and ground peas. The houses should be thoroughly ventilated and not too light. Two small windows iu the front of a ho'use, 12 feet by 15 feet, will an Ewer. Such a house will accommodate fifty hens.

They thould have plenty of clean water, changed at least twice a week They should have plenty of plaster, gypsum aud bone dust. They should be fed a mixture of the ground feed stirred in boiling water in the morning, all they will eat up clean, three quarts of wheat for the fifty hens noon and what whole corn or buckwheat they will eat up clean at night. White shell eggs always bring the highest ice iu the market." 1 Professor J. B. Smith, entomologist, of the New Jersey Experiment Station, spoke on the common farm and fruit pests as follows: "It is fully within bounds to say that the crops of the country at large are reduced in amount by ten per cent, and in value by twenty per cent, by plant feeding insect pests.

The potato beetle is a tax on potato culture each year etiual to the amount of money epent for poisons, and the labor employed in getting it or how much it affects the amount and quality of the crop we cannot easily estimate. We say that peach trees have the yellows and so they do. they are all jaundiced because they are starved either from actual lack of food or from the attacks of plant lice or similar creatures on the roots. Plant lice often dwarf or cripple plants from the very beginning and wheat is reduced in weight nearly half owing to the extraction of its juices by the aphids. The fruit in entire orchards was dwarfed aud often killed last year by lice, in some orchards the apples did no; Ret any larger than marbles.

The growing of plums is a lost art on Long Island owing to the cir culio. The damage to grass lands by wire and cut worms is hard to estimate. You see It plainly after setting out cabbages, tomatoes or sweet potatoes on that same land. "What the worm destroys generally represents what should have been the farmer's profits. "Man, himself, is to blame for the enormous increase in insect life.

In the natural struggle for life which has been going on for ages an equilibrium has been established. All things live and maintain themselves and no more. First tho plants and trees struggled among each other and only the most vigorous survive. Then insects came to feed upon the plants and would destroy them were they not In turn kept down by other parasitic or predatory species and by birds and other animals. And now the farmer changes all this.

He cuts away the trees, blasts out the stumps, plows the land, rakes out the stones and contemplates his work with pride. He has, however, absolutely destroyed all the predatory insects that lived on the surface of the ground under the shelter of the rubbish he has burned. He has made life in his fields impossible to all the small animals that had a home there and he has made everything easy for the plant feeding species by providing them with an abundance of just the kind of food they like best his crops. He kills the harmless snakes, his boys kill the toads and the small birds are killed to adorn the women's hats. Over two hundred web worms Cave been found in the stomach of a single American cuckoo.

The farmer has sinned and he must bear his punishment and work out his penalty. "In importing trees and plants from Europe and Asia we imnort the nt.mt ontlno with them. These insects have even driven out our native pests. Currant worms, cabbage i moth, elm leaf beetle and asparagus beetle are all imported pests. Only a few years 1 ago the hornfly was introduced into Xc Jer sey ana it nas now spread all OVOl the conn try east of the Rocky Mountains.

If in our orchard wo pick up all the fruit as it drops and destroy it as it falls, no plum cir i culio could ever come to maturity, and cod ling moths would be greatly reduced.

Weeds i carry over many pests that attack cultivated plants: for instance, the common white cab bage butterfly. Cabbage lice and maggots are i bred iu old left over stumps of cabbage left on tne field, squash bugs and borers and potato stalk borers are kept over in vines that are not destroyed. "Fall plowing is often a most effective means of destroying underground insects In grass lands. Corn hill bugs are often exceedingly troublesome on corn after old timothv sod. Fall plowing should be universal as soon as the rop omes off.

If it cmr.es nff early, put in something to cover the ground 1 so as to keep out weeds.

One family seven have been without coal for three weeks, depending for fire upon bits of wood picked up by one of the children.

The husband has been blind and so unable to work. The. woman sews gladly, when she can get it to do. The eldest daughter has been out of work for weeks past. They are temperate and industrious.

Another man is suffering from effects of injuries received years ago in the blizzard. Much of the time he is unable to leave his room. One of his chljd ren Is also' ill and there is no one to earn anything but the wife. A third family is to be turned into the street tor non payment I of rent. 'The man lost his place because his 1 employer had so little to do and has had I scarcely any work in three months.
