Accurate Knowledge or Science


Simply to determine what are facts may
be said to be the lifework of science. The
term is great bugaboo to those who fail to
recognize its true significance. 1t should
be the joy of the thoroughly practical man
above all others. 1t does not indulge in the
faucifuI. it wants only the truth and cannot
be satisfied with less. Do not ignorantly
scorn It, but seek the aid and comfort OF its
satisfying utterance. Science is only the
accurate knowledge OF what things are aud
how they are 1t is not theory. Science
sits in Judgment Oh "theories.n Do not
therefore, he ashamed of attempting to be d
scientific farmer, or gardener, or black
smith, or doctor, or rosdmaker, or what
not.
The more of SCIENCE you have the more
of practical facts" you will have at your
beck and call to aid you. Science looks for
the short cut. 1t finds you alternatives
when they are necessary. It does the best
way first and the poorest way last. All the
useful practical facts CLEANED through a
life time in the field and garden when
brought together may be esteemed as the
Science Of farming and gardening" 1t
takes the combined experience of many
workers to establish it. 1t is the duty Of
every one to contribute whatever he deems
fact to the general store house OF knowl-
edge that science may make use Of it.
Science and common sense are twin sis
tiers. 1t sounds like paradox it is true,
but what of that We want our common
sense farmers" to aid US in depicting the
science of farming in this column. Give US
all the facts you can this winter.

what TO % with Old Bones,

More or less on every farm there is an &C
emulation of bones-thst is they will accu-
mulate if they are saved aud every one
should be saved. Even if they cannot be
put IN proper shape for use on annual quick
growing crops they can very readily be got
ten in good shape for use as fertilizer for
the fruit trees and grape vines. When
broken up into small pieces and dug in
around the vines or young fruit trees they
prove a fertilizer of the most enduring kind
There is no better fertilizers than raw bone.
When finely ground and applied
several inches under the surface
it begins to feed the crop
in a very little while. When placed under
the soil in good-sized pieces, the bone slowly
but steadily undergoes decomposition aud
yields up Its nitrogen and phosphoric acid
to any plant that Is prepared to make use
of it. There is no potash in bone, but it is
rich in the other two elements. 4 good
quality of ground bone should contain from
8 to per cent. Of nitrogen aud 20 per cent.
OF more of phosphoric acid. The average
price per ton Of pure ground bone at the
seaboard is S35, and compared with most
fertilizers It is cheap at tlat price. No
bone should be allowed to go TO waste on
any farm.

and when needed all worked together on
these.
There is no purpose on our part to urge a
return to these early methods But the
early spirit Of friend mess and mutual help

out OF date. Cooperation has now become
the law for success in business operations
This is the meaning Of all we hear
about trusts and combines These
are selfish manifestations OF the Co

most suggestive of what can be done in
business, even with less selfishness and more
of the spirit Of love and human brother

IN this direction. 1t is never, we think,

roots that hold men to eartl and 30 long as

Those who have soil suited to the growth of
peanuts will find them a fairly profitable

who do not find much profit in growing them
it depends upon the land and the man, OF

waiting his crops is not likely to succeed in
growing good crops of peanuts. 1t requires
care in harvesting and fitting for market

TO Growers of Tobacco in Southwest
Georgia.

As tobacco culture is now interesting a
very large number of farmers in Georgia.
we invite our readers who have practical
knowledge of the subject to give US the
benefit of their experience. Now do not be
afraid to give it to us with the idea that it
will be against your interest to do so, for it
will not be so. If our people find it to their
interest to grow tobacco, the more that
engage in it the better it will be for all and
for this reason, lower freights will be
secured and more buyers will be induced to
come amongst us when there is much to
ship or buy than when only a small quantity
is grown for shipment. This is certainly
true where any article is grown in local
tcuy chiefly: The more buyers the greater
the competition and the better the prices as
a general thinG-where a crop is not grown
over a too extended area.
We want our tobacco growers, therefore,
80 put the matter of its economical culture
before their fellow readers in our columns
without any unnecessary delay. Let US hear
from you.

Fall is the time to manure gardens.
There is now on almost every farm where
horses or cows are kept enough summer
made manure to cover the garden. Be-
cause it is summer made it is probably bet
ter rotted down, aud has fewer weed seeds
than most Of the manure made in winter
will have. Cover the garden with it, first
blowing it, and by spring soluble parts of
the manure will he fully incorporated with
it in the shape to do most good.
Most of the glutted markets in fruits are
due u the inferior quality of so large pro-
portion Of the offerings. If none but the
very best could be had, more would be
eaten, and the demand would not be checked
by a considerable advance in present prices.
Successful fruit growers understand this.
They keep at home as feed for pigs, cows,
or other stock, all except the first-class
fruit, and of the best they have two classes
one for fancy customers and the other
nearly or quite as good for the general
trade and to sell for immediate use.
Close pruning OF old orchards during fall
and winter cannot make an additional fruit
bud the next spring, but will make larger
fruit, and also give more buds next fall, but
cutting off too much at one time lessons the
vitality of the tree and shortens its life

The turnip flavor in milk can be very
nearly prevented by not feeding them until
after milking, beginning very gradually
with them, and never allo wing them to
stand in the barn to perfume the atmos-
phere, from which the milk will quickly alb
sorb the odor. But if the milk is tainted 1t
can be removed by placing the can or pan
in which it is into kettle OF water. placing
a grating of some kind under it that it NAV
not rest directly upon the bottom of the
kettle. Then heat the water until the milk
is brought to a temper ature Of 1859 or 400,
when it may be set away to cool. At that
temperature this odor, like many others,
becomes volatile and is driven Off The
cream will rise quite as quickly and the
milk keep longer for this scalding. The
object of placing it in water is that It may
be brought to the right heat without danger
of scorching.

Select a good loamY soil, and if it is not
rich enough naturally make it so by apply
ing suitable fertilizers. Get the soil In readi-
ness and procure the plants the last Of this
month, or as soon thereafter as possible.
Have the rows 81 or feet apart. The red
kinds such as the Cuthbert should have a
distance Of 3 feet in the row. The black
caps such as the "Gregg" should have more
distance in the row, say 81 or feet.
Where only a small number are grown it is
a common practice to set along a fence.
Set the plants out carefully, watering if
necessary. Firm the soil good about the
roots. Mulch with pine straw Just before
severe weather comes With you, however,
there will be little need for mulching as a
protector from cold but mulching may be
found useful for providing moisture.
Cultivate sufficiently to keep the soil in

SUSPENSION OF THE SESSION.
Members Pummel Each Other, and Several
Challenges Result.

The Trouble Arose Over the Motion to
the Cabinet Minister of the Interior
Sends His Man to Grass--A Grist of
DueIs Arranged--One Member Has Two
His Hands.
PARIS, Jan. 20.-The Chamber of
Deputies was the scene of tumultuous
encounters and fisticuffs yesterday in
which even a member of the Cabinet,
Minister Constans, took part, and the
session at length became so disorderly
that it was suspended in order to allow
the various members who had been en-
gagged in pummelling each other to ar
range for the duels which usually follow
such occasions.
The fracas began with a motion by
Toulangist Deputy Laur, supported by
his fellow Boulangist, Lessene, who de-
sired to ask that action be instituted
against a newspaper, "Intransigeant,"
for alleged attacks upon the Cabinet.
The Cabinet did not, take kindly to
this pretended championship of their
cause by the Boulangists. and Premier
De Freycinet refused the Interpolation.
NJ Laur objected to having his motion
shelved in that way, and he became very
noisy on the subject, indulging in per-
snnal reflections on NJ. Constans and 9TH
eIs
Minister of the Interior Constans got
excited and struck Laur in the face.
Thereupon n great tumult arose, the
majority of the Deputies loudly cheering
ConStans.
Then followed sort of melee, with
personal rcprisals here and there for
harsh and derisive epithets.
NJ. Delpech, II supporter of the Minis
try, boxed the ears of Castelin, one of
the most aggressive Of the Eoulangists,
and Dunsateil, another Boulangist, quar-
relied with Delpech.
The result is the arrangement of a
duelIing match between Delpech and
Castelin, after which Delpech if he is
safe and sound, will have to be shot at
by Dunsateil, who is the second of Gas
telin in the latter proposed duel
Another cause for duel was given by
a blow which a journalist named Du-
monteuie gave to Boulangist Deputy
BOrdeau.
The happy thought of suspending the
session put an end to the disorder.

the house, who has children of his own,
take deep interest in the youngsters,
but he is backed up by the owner of
the property, who has given him orders
to spend a thousand dollars a year in
providing for the amusement of the
tenants children.
The apartment house takes up the
entire block, and the builder was par
ticular to have incorporated in the
original plans playroom, which is sit
uated on the basement floor in the rear
Of the house, and runs nearly the en-
tire length of the building. The room
IS brilliantly lighted by gas jets. the
