breakfasting together before going down

And, pretty though Miss Vincent may
be, she's not the girl for you to waste your

have magnificent home, and everything
about it indicates wealth and refinement
and culture; and there is no denying that
she is one of the most attractive girls in
society in this city; certainly | have seen

THAT is all very true, perhaps" was
the reply; but her father was very bad

Philosophy in Spiintcrs.

No one but blind man ever passes
mirror without looking in.
A model wife is one who thinks her
husband knows more than her kin.
Every man is hero to some woman F.;
every woman Is Il heroine to some man.
The birthdays of his children are a
mans landmarks on The road to old age.
When a man finally succeeds IN max.
ing himself famous his wife gets the
credit for it.
Nothing pleases man so much as to
be told that some old flame, since mar
ried, is still admirns him.
A woman cab be paid no higher COM
plment than to h We her husband
spend all his time with her.
When man has a rival he stops
thinking oil his appearance, ana "''eH
woman has one she begins.
No woman was ever so homely that a
man does not defend her looks after lie
has heard that she admires him.
When man gets famous it would
seem that every man in the country
used to play marbles with him at school.
The hundred words that Il woman
uses to abuse a man never have one
hundreth part Of the effect of four words
that he uses to abuse her: GLOW like
a woman ~
The trouble with the men is that it
is easier for them to die for a girl
before they are married than it is to get
up and light the fire for their wives
after they arc married.

But, after all, it was King who had

The Question Box.

ing questions at earliest convenience in
Savannah NEWS:
1. Is kainit used alone, or mixed with
other manureS, good fertilizer for pear
treesl f''
2. have seen it stated that nuts from
pecans which have been trausplanted. TINS
losing part of the tap root, are not as fine
favored as those from trees which have
never been used. Others recommend the
cutting OF the tap root What is the truth
IN the matterl
8. Would you advise the sowing of beg
gar weed In pear and other orchard
for the purpose of improving the soil and
keeping down OF er weeds.
Cairo, Ga. Dec. l6. J.B.W.
The lower grade of German potash salts
known as kainit has been very extensively
used IN the past ten years. In a great many
experiments with it there has been observed
very little, if any, effect In the crops on
which it was used. 1t contains usually
from 10 to II per cent of potash. Pear
trees, as well as all other trees, require q
liberal supply of potash. There is no bst-
ter material for furnishing it than hard
wood ashes, and in the essence of this.
plne"ood ashes answer the purpose nearly
as well. Ashes from either are easily pro-
cured In your section. (The muriate of
potash is cheaper in the end than kainit).
z. There is a considerable difference of
opinion upon this question as upon all other
matters of agriculture. That the absence
of the top root of nut trees has any marked
effect upon the flavor of the nut we have
no reason to believe. The normal condition
of trees require that they have this top root
undisturbed. and while it is a common
practice to grow nut trees as well as fruit
trees in the nursery, and afterward trans
plant them, we believe that it is essential to
longevity to preserve the tap root unre-
stricted, which is secured by planting the
seeds where the tree is to grow.
3. There can BE- no serious objection to
sowing the beggar weed in the young
orchard, provided the growth is kept down
about the trees while they are young, which
can be done either by mulching or cultivat-
ing. It is not desirable that the soil of an
orchard be made overrich in humus-veg-
etable matter. 1t creates too rapid and
rank growth of foliage at the expense of
fruit bearing and longevity. Where the
soil is very poor it is necessary to grow
some vegetable matter to enrich it for the
benefit of the trees when they get larger
and their roots fully occupy the soil. Either
beggar weed or field peas are very suitable
crops for the purpose, but care must be used
that the young growing tree is not stunted
by allowing other growth to get the food
and moisture that the tree requires and
must have for its normal growth. 1t is
always well to supply the young tree with
fair ration Of ground bone to start it off,
and our common pine straw used as a
mulch to supply moisture and keep down
weeds ABOUT the tree is an adjunct not as
generally appreciated and used as it should

Tha Iinarance

1t is unfortunate, remarks the Rural
Ae'O Yorker, that the name chemical
fertilizer" should be generally accepted as
something different from manure They
are precisely the same thing. That is to
say, if we desire to answer the question.
what is manurem we must answer that it
consists of just those constituents which by
chemists are called nitrogen. sulphurc acid,
gypsum, potash, copperas, ammonia, m G.
nesia. silicon, etc. If we burn a quantity of
straw, grass, wood, flesh or any other sub
stance, We have the asa constituents remain
ing. They are the so-called chemical fertil-
Izers, except z that the ntr gen, carbon,
oxygen, hydrogen, ETC., have escaped in the
form of gas. If we take a rock and pound
it to a very fine powder, we have a manure
or fertilizer, and its value depends upon its
content Of those materials which plants
need. We do not consider bone or South
Carolina rock chemical fer ilizer per Sc,
and yet either is, in fact, just as much a
chemical fertilizer as is nitrate of soda,
sulphate of ammonia, muriate or sulphate
of potash, for the reason that they are val
liable as a plant food o ly as they contain
those SUI stances. 1t is just the same with
any kind of manure. The essential differ
ence between farm manure and chemical
fertilizers is that the former is bulky, slow
to decay, yielding up to plants its nourish-
ing elements not until they have become
soluble by slow combustion. While, too,
this bulk is decomposing, it exc Is me-
chanical influence on the soil, making it
lighter, admitting more air and moisture to
the plants which are hungry to avail them
selves of either.

other scientific iudividuals-they are not

The Farmers Hog.

E. P. s. says, in the American CuJtiua-
tor, that the profitable hog for the average
farmer is one that is quickly grown. fattens
without delay, and can be 81 .ughtered be-
fore it begins to consume the food laid up
for winter. Such hog cannot be obtained
from any Of the famous pure breeds, which
ans wer the purpose of the large swine breed
ers, but not the purpose of the small farmer
who raises his own pork. There must be some
cross which will supply this animal, which
may also be called the general purpose hog.
A good cross that will hold his qualities
without so much watching to prevent de-
terioration, and one which has individual
excellence, is not to be obtained easily. Yet
none of our domestic animals are SO easily
nodded as the hog, and in breeding for some
particular purpose the owner has many
qualities at hand which he can combine and
perpetuate. The pedigree matters not so
much, 50 long as the breeding animals
which are to make tine cross are of pure
blood. and bear the distinctive marks of
their breed on them.
Given these good parents, offsprings that
will combine the good quail ties Of the two
may be raised successfully. The farmer
wants a cross that will convert mis- surplus
corn into meat, making the greatest number
of pounds for the amount of corn con-
sunned, and at the earliest age possible.
Many think tnat such pig is the Poland
China, and others in the Berkshire, but
cross between these two is much superior to
either. There is an increase Of frame and
flesh from the Poland China, and a finer
grained quality of meat from the Berk-
Shire, and perhaps little more energy and
hardness.
Unless a hog comes to maturity soon and
develons a large frame and covers it quickly
with solid meat, there i, very little profit in
raj ing one. A pig should be slaughtered
elrly. for after they reach certain point
thew do not take on flesh enough to pay for
feeling them. Such cross at the age OF 8
or 10 months should weigh from 200 to go
pound., and up to this time it pays well, but
after that period its profit begins 70 decline.
The same cross will probably reach 900
rounds in eighteen or twenty months. but
this extra weight will hardly suffice for the
food consumed.
