a Talbot County (Ga,s) Experience

want particularly in this letter to tell
my brother farmers my experience with
artich0kes, chufas and sunflOWers. Last
year l saw an sad" of red Brazilian ar
tichokes for sale in Mississippi. ordered
a peck and the cost was ST. so including
eXpressage. ] planted them and the yield
was astonishing. l pulled up some of the
stalks and there was perfect ''mat" of
tubers at the bottom of them; the ground,
in three-feet rows, was pretty full Of tu-
bers. l dug few for seed and then turned
in my hOgs-they ate them greedily. This
spring | sowed the land in oats, after cut
ting which, l discovered a fine growth of
artichokes; whether they came from the
seed or tubers too small to be eaten by the
hogs, cannot say. With.the aid of about
125 pounds of guano per acre, my chufas,
on third-year pine land, are meeting across
three-feet rows. l think by frost some of
the hills will yield peck of cleaned nuts
each. l only planted a bushel worth So
and with my artichokes / have food enough
to fatten all the hogs / want by simply
turning them in. Chufas are also great
egg producers, the hens scratching them
up themselves all through the winter.
Seeing how eagerly our poultry ate the
seed of a few sunfiOWer plants / had for
ornament in the yard last year, set out
about one-siXteenth Of an acre this year
for their especial benefit-nOt the old Rus
sian variety with one bloom, mine put out
bloom at every leaf from bottom to top.
l know of one plant that has % blooms. 1
go through the patch occasionally and
press down few Of the most mature
plants, and it is amusing to see how
eagerly the chickens scramble for the
seed. L do not know about their egg-pro-
ducing qualities, not having them long
enough, but l think they make at least
four times as much grain to the area as
corn, are several weeks earlier and are
highly ornamental. The seed is about
three times as large as a grain of wheat
and the seed pods from four to eight inches
in diameter. 1t can be dropped like corn
or sOwn in bed and transplanted-on
stalk to the hill, same distance and work
ing as corn. | shall plant an acre or more
next year, l am so well pleased with it,

ENGLISH MANNERS AT TABLE
A Hint to Ill Bred American Dudes.
Cincinnati Commercial.


No guest ever passes a plate or serves
anything; the servant does all that. Soup
is taken from the side of the spoon, noise
lessly. Soup and fish are not partaken e
the second time; if there is a joint, and
the host carves, it is proper to ask for a
second cut. Bread is passed by the
servant, and must be broken, never cut.
1t is considered gauche to be undecided
whether one will take clear soup or thick
soup; decide quickly. In refusing wine
simply say. EsThanks," or better, ''Thank
you" The servants retire after handing
the dessert, when the party at once
launches in politics and gossip, with now
and then (nOt often. alas!) a bit OF gay
badinage, or 'Echaff," until the lady of the
house gives the signal, and the ladies
retire to the drawing-room. TOasts and
taking wine with people have gone out of
fashion. and the charms of the drawing
room have so far increased in the last
decade that it is only the more confirmed

Sweet and Sour stocks.

Judge j. G.. Knapp, in Times Union.
says that considerable discussion is going
on among orange growers whether it is
best to grow and plant sour orange stocks
and then graft them with sweet varieties
or grow the sweet stocks for the same
purpose; or that they be allowed to come
into bearing, and then, if their fruit is not
of the marketable quality, to change them
to better class. While it may be con-
ceded that for land where the water dur
ing the rainy seasons may lie ON or near
the suMface, and where the sour stock can
survive andMhe sweet stock be killed by
the water, VI, in our opinion, for all other
purposes, til sweet tree is preferable.
The sour does not grow as rapidly
or makeasaa We tree as does the sweet
one, an graft set on the sour stock must
necessary be dwarfed. The effect may
not be equal to that produced by the pear
grated upon the ounce; but it is never
theless dwarfed. All the large trees in
the State are seedlings, that, if not plant
ed where they have made their growth,

Farmers Must Re speoialists.

Farming, like all other pursuits, must
ultimately resolve itself into specialties,
from the mere fact that the arduOus de-
partments Of knowledge are developing
so rapidly In volume that a single lifetime
is not long enough for man to obtain
proficiency in all the branches of this BUSH
ness. To attain prominence and marked
succesSas farmer or horticulturist he
must become specialist and concentrate
his thoughts and energies upon the chosen
speciality. No man in this age of the world
can know everything, or succeed ateVery-
thing, or be an expert at everything.
There must be a proper fitness and prepa-
ration for the work in hand. A great aid
to the farmer toward this thorough prepa-
ration is found in our modern agricultural
college, where every facility is afforded
for the complete study OF any special line
OF horticulture. In this view of the case
it is one of the chief duties, and becomes
one of the important labors, of our State
and local societies to encourage, foster
and support these useful institutions with
all the influence at our command.
In WatertOwn, Mass, poor man with
large family bought six acres of low,
wet land for mere song, ditched it and
planted it with dandeliOns, which he ped
died out at 80 cents peck for greens in
Boston. He sold the roots to druggists at
annually. In few years he erected an
elegant mansion and now rolls around in
as fine carriage as any millionaire would
care to own. W. Fl. Bull, who is engaged
in supplying the New York city markets
with dandeliOns, communicates his meth
cd Of culture to the April number of the
american Garden, published by B, K.
Bliss & Sons, New York city, in which he
says: "This vegetable is making friends

Those who imagine that nay cannot be
successfully made on our South Florida
lands, it would seem, are most widely
mistaken. DR.. G. III. Symms, who lives
near Peru, on the Alfalfa river, informed
us a few days since that he had gathered
this season, from one-eighth of an acre of
his land, $500 pounds of hay of the natu-
raj growth of ''crow-toot' grass. If wild
grass does so vel, it is reasonable to sup
pose that the cultivated varieties would
do equally as well, if not better.-Tq Tampa

PATHS DIVORCE SUIT.
The Hearing of Evidence Behind Closed
Doors I'm Paris.

Doors I'm Paris,
The application of Nine. Adelina Patti
for a divorce from the Marquis de Caux,
says the Paris Figaro, was heard yester-
day behind closed doors. There will be
no decision until after the vacation. 1t
will be remembered that the separation in
the first instance was decreed in favor of
her husband, on the ground of serious
wrongs committed by her in concert with
the tenor Nicolini. Now it is she who is
asking for a divorce, not the Marquis de
Caux. VIII the Count grant the wish of
a wife who has been judicially separated
from her husband and who sees in the new
law only a means Of release from wedlock
Ought it not, on the contrary, in actions
between couples already separated, strict
ly refuse all divorce if asked for by the
guilty party? 1t is evident that the law
would be absurd if it permitted person
to be caught in an act of infdelity, to
lower his head under judgmen of separa-
ton, and then, three years after, to come
with mien erect and light heart, an ask
for a divorce, that is to say legal rupture
of a union which has ceased to please.
The right to apply for divorce should be
exclusively reserved to the party wronged.
1t is at his pleasure, for him alone, that
the marriage, by legal means, should
cease to be a perpetual punishment.

Peck's Bad Boy Again-Usage Familiar
lies 1t.

Mr.. E. A. Comstoek has drawn one-ffth
of the Second Capital Prize ($25, O00) in
the July drawing Of the Louisiana State
Lottery, through the American Express.
Peck'S Sun called on Comstock, hard at
work at the planning mill, 313 Cedar street,
where he is a valuable emplOye. His
number was SO, 204. In the June drawing
Mr.. Philip j. Gruber, cashier for the in
stitution Comstock works for, was the
holder of one-fifth ticket No. 27.S70. prize
$4,000, which he received promptly. Mr.
COmstOck also had an interest in this
ticket of $500. Last, but not least, Mr..
| Comstock held another lucky ticket, No.
81 1913, which drew $40. This notice is
prompted, as Mr.. G. is known to US, and
it substantiates the fact that the Louisi-
ana State Lottery Company is a straight
institution, in which the good people of
New Orleans take pride. MiEsCdWkee

Tobacco Seed,

Since the introduction of several varie-
ties of Havana and hybrid tobacco IN the
Northern tobacco growing sections, the
question of seed selection has become one
of very great Importance to the tobacco
grower. There are several varieties,
which have their origination from Cuba
or Havana tobacco, that are now being
successfully cultivated in our Northern
States, each of which has it's peculiarities
and advantages. Chief among these are
the Wilson Hybrid, Zimmer's Spanish,
Haines' Hybrid and Eureka. The Wilson
Hybrid is, perhaps, most popular at pres
ent, both among growers and manufac-
turers, the qualities of the cured product
being very desirable for wrapping cigars.
But it is important that care be exercised
In selecting seed plants and in preventing
the intermixing of different varieties or
strains; else the most desirable qualities
in the tobacco may be 'bred Out,,' or, in
other words, the tobacco will ''run out.''
