yened, be and they are hereby prayed to
make suitable and ample appropriations
to promote the cause of immigration, and
carry out to the highest success the plans
and purposes promoted and promulgated
by this convention.
Resolved further, that the secretary of
this convention be requested promptly to

tive states and territories represented in
this meeting certified copies of the fore

they call the attention of the legislatures
of their states to the same.
The following states were represented

In his admirable speech before the i'm
migration convention, Governor Seay de-
clared that our faces are forever set to
the eastward, and forward is the best
word in the language - Alabama has
TO congratulate herself that she has a
governor who is in sympathy with every
progressive movement, and whose voice
gives no uncertain sound on the great
questions that are pressing for attention
and solution; and it is believed that there
is no state in the South but will, through
its governor and legislature, pace itself
on record in the march of progression and
advancement of its best interests by
speedily taking steps to aid in this great
Southern wOrk-for all of which we pray
Respectfully, F. B. Chiffon,

Young Fruit Trees.

II the young trees are to make a
good thrifty growth, considerable
care must be given them. 1t Is not
good economy to purchase and set
out a lot of trees and then expect
them to grow as they should without
giving them good care. When once
well established, they can easily De
kept growing, but a tree or plant
that is stunted will not make as good
a growth afterward.
Close contact with the soil is always
an important item, especially during
the first summer. If in setting out
proper care has been taken to press
the roots. considerable portion OF
the risk of damage is avoided. The
winds that we usually have in the
spring will often loosen up the roots,
and care should be taken to press the
soil around the stem before the hot
weather sets in.
1t is a good plan to stir the surface
and keep it stirred, killing out the
weeds and keeping the soil in good
filth. Weeds and grass allowed to
grow around the stems of the trees
will tend to prevent a good growth,
and one importent item in the treat
ment of young trees is to give reason
ably good cultivation at least.
While a considerable part of the
pruning should be done when the
tree is set out, yet it will pay to GO
over the trees and rub off any extra
growth that may start up where II Is
not desired. This can be done much
easier now than when the wood has
hardened.
One of the worst things to contend
with is the borer that so often attacks
the Young trees, and the surest plan
is to protect them in advance, as often
the tree is practically ruined the first
year by this pest.
a good mulch will often prove very
beneficial through the hot dry months
in keeping the soil moist. and if APP
piled after giving good cultivation,
can be made profitable in the better
thrift and growth Of the trees. Once
the tree gets we'll established, it will
stend considerable drouth without in
jury, but during the earlier stages of
growth muIching is very beneficial.

Uses For Salt.

Willow furniture and straw mating
are cleansed by washing with salt and
water
No compound should be used in
washing delicate colored goods; a
handful of salt in the water will set
the colors of light cambrics and
lawns.
When eaten with nuts it aids diges-
ton, is used as blood-purifier, and
will instantly relieve heartburn if half
teaspoonful in little cold water be
taken. 1t is also soothing to weak
and tried eyes.
If applied Immediately, it removes
inkstains. Add a pinch of salt to the
whites of eggs to make them froth
quickly, and when anything is burn
ing on the stove sprinkle salt over it
to prevent any disagreeable odor.
After carpet is well swept, go over
it with a clean cloth and clear salt
water, and the colors will be greatly
frightened; or, il in hurry, scat ter
salt over the carpet before sweeping
and the result will be the same.
1t will kill weeds, when sprinkled on
the walks, remove slight fruit stains,
promote the growth of hair: dissolved
in alcohol, it removes grease spots
from cloth, and when put in fresh
water prevents black calicoes from
fading.
A nightly gargle of salt and water
strengthens the throat and keeps off
bronchial attacks. Even for sting
this useful substance is called into
use; make thick plaster of moistened
salt, bind on the place, and the venom
will be extracted.
To kill insects or worms at the roots
of house plants, pour strong saltwater
over the earth, being careful not to
touch the leaves of the plants.
If the flue catches on fire, never
throw water down the chimney,
as it ruins the carpets; use coarse
salt instead. When SCOT drops
on the carpet, cover the spot thickly
with salt, then sweep up.
Two or three days ago Station
House Keeper John Joinerwas sitting
out in front of the guard house when
an old negro man and little negro
child came by. The child S thin black
legs were bent after the fashion of
pot-hooks, and nine people out of ten
that saw the child would stop to
stare at its bow legs.
That your child, uncle?" asked
the station house keeper.
"Yesser. Leas' hit oughter be.
Mighty bow legged"
"Yesser.n admitted the old man,
hit does look sorter dat way boss"
Natural deformity?'
NO, sah," quickly; ''he was ies
born dat way"
He-And you are sure that am the
first and only man who ever kissed
you?
She-of course | am sure. You do
not doubt my word, do you?
He-Of course | do not doubt YOU,
my darling. / love you too madly,
too devotedly for that. But why, oh,
why did you reach for the reins the
very instant / ventured to put one
arm around you if you had never
been there before7
