THE GREAT ARTISTS.

Craeger painted several of the best
pictures after he had passed so years
and died at S3.
Pollajuolo was tho son Of poulterer,
whence his name, and began his career
as a wood carver.
Brenghel was the first artist to give
attention to the different phases of peas
ant life and represent them on canvas.
Francia did not begin painting until
nearly 60 years of age, and in ten years
executed long series Of admirable
works
Lorraine was left an orphan at the
age of IL and was cared for by his
brother, who instructed him in wood
engraving.
Bordone painted so much after the
manner of Titan that many works
proved to be his were long credited to
the latter.
Orcagna's Last Judgment, now in
the Campo Santo at Pisa. was in the
fourteenth century deemed the greatest
picture in the world.
Diepenbeck started out to make a rep
| utation as painter on glass, but aban-
doned that line on account of the fragile
nature of the material
| Signorelli, born in 144O, was the. first
artist who Systematically studied anat-
omy with a view to de1ineating the
human form with greater accuracy.
Fiesole made beginning by docorat-
ing the cells of the convent of st. Mark
in Florence. Every cell was adorned
| with magnificent fresco, and the fame
of this work made the reputation Of the
| artist.
Del Piombo took his name from his
Office. His duty in the papal court was
to affix the leaden seal to the papal or
i dinances. The place gave him iveli-
| hood while he was making a reputation
by his pictures.
Murillo died of injuries caused by q
! fall from scaffold in church in Cadiz
He had just finished q picture and was
admiring it when, stepping backward
to get better view, he made missteE
and fell.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes Through the
Winter.

The following method / have found
to keep sweet potatoes in perfect order
until June. Procure good supply of
pine straw from the woods in dry time
and keep it under cover ready for use.
Dig the potatoes as soon as frost cuts
the vines, If not convenient to dig at
once, cut the frosted vines off at once,
or they will harbor fungus growth that
warm sunny day-lay the potatoes
along the row as dug, and do not allow
them to be bruised by throwing into
piles. Handle at all times as gently as
eggs. Allow them to lie in the sun dur
ing the day, and in the evening haul to
a convenient place. Place good lay
er, a foot thick, of pine or other straw
on the ground, and on this, pile the po-
tatoes in steep heaps, not over 20 bush
els in pile. Cover the piles thiczly
all over with the dry pine straw-now
build q rough board shed over the piles,
and let them remain until the weather
grows colder, or until they have gone
through sweat and dried off. Then
cover the heaps with earth six or eight
inches thick and beat smooth. The i'm
portant points are the sweating under
the previous cover ofthe pine straw be-
fore covering with earth, very careful
handling, and the board cover over
head. Dry earth keeps out more cold
than wet earth. If for family use, put
in smaller piles and take up an entire
heap at once for use, keeping them in a
dry warm place while using.-W. f.

To Destroy sprouts and s.ump..

What Is the best way and when is the best
time to destroy sprouts from En aspen tree
which come up in my yard f''-H. b. B. Ra-
leigh, N. c.
answered by Gerald Mccarthy, Botanist.)
The aspen is botanically poplar
Populus tremuloides and is one of the
most inveterate sprouters. The best
time to destroy the tree and so prevent
future sprouts is about August Is. at
which time the roots are nearly ex-
hausted by the summer growth and
have not yet began To store reserve ma
terial for next years growth. To get
rid of the tree now the best plan is to
cut it down and dig out the main roots
Next year keep the sprouts closely cut
off and they will soon die out. Patent
root destroying chemicals are of very
little value and cannot be depended
upon.

Error in Report Of Crimson Glover Seed
Yield for 1904.

A recent press article gave the crop
of seed for this year grown at the Ex-
pertinent farm at S44.61, per acre.
When this statement was made por-
ton of the field recently added, was
unintentionally omitted from the cal
culation of the yield. We hasten to
make the correction. This increased
area would reduce the value of seed to
S31. Sc per acre. However if the straw
were included, the total value would
be about as first reported.
The crop of unhulled seed in 1898 was
1 ESQ pounds per acre, Which at the low
price realized this year. would amount
to S5s.6S per acre, or S18.o7 per acre
more than the crop for 1894 as first re-
ported.
The loss by Misunderstanding amount
ed to S14.43, which is enough to empha-
size the necessity of employing every
means possible to save the crop in good
weather. On this point the Experiment
Station expects to have seasonable
article for next spring before the seed
is ripe.-F. E. Emery, Agriculturist, n.

Ripening Tomstoos il, Winter.

Among the many plans that have
been proposed for saving the tomatoes
which remain -unripe at the coming of
frost, we have found the following the
most satisfactory:
When sharp frost is Imminent gather
all the green tomatoes. Wrap each'
separately in paper-old newspapers
will do. Now pack them in boxes and
store in a cool place, just warm enough
to be secure from frost but not warm,
the object being to keep, not to ripen
them. Bring out few at time as
they are wanted. and place in a.warm
place to ripen a few days in advance
In this way we have for several years
had sliced tomatoes on our table up to
the middle of January.-W. +. Massey,

Mrs. Peary,s opinion.

Mrs. Peary says of her husband s
Greenland expedition: cit is mistake
to allude to my husband as seeker for
the north pole. His object has been and
still is to delineate the northern coast of
Greenland. No one can tell how far
Greenland extends northward, and
Lieutenant Peary says that if it goes to
the pole he will go there, too; that, no
matter how high it runs, he is deter
mined to follow it. " Mrs. Peary can't
tell whether she will go north again
next year. Her husband and herself
have spent about $50, 900 already on
arctic research, and she now feels that
her future explorations Ia these regions
must depend upon public favor. She
wants to go back, however, next sum-
mer If she can.

Dreamer, or Separator for Southern North
Carolina.

81 want to buy creamer. VIII you please
recommend the best make. The Cooley sub
merges the milk and requires ice. Without
ice is the Cooley as good as any oaher make f't-
r. B. c., Charlotte, N. G..
answered by F. E. Emery, Agriculturist
n. c. Experiment Station.)
The Cooley is as good as any gravity
creamer we know, with or without ice
we would recommend you to think of a
separator if you have as many as five or
six cows, riff not SO many to increase
the number and use one or both to
reduce labor while saving its cost in
butter over common methods of cream
ing. The gravity methods lose enough
which the centrifugal saves to pay for
the latter in a reasonable time.
The machines we have tried and can
cheerfully recommend are, the Victoria
and United States separators. The lat
ter is made by the makers of the Cooley
dreamer. (The Vermont Farm Machine
company, Bellows Falls, Vt.,) who will
be reluctant to sell you creamer to
use in our climate without ice, but who
know their separator will give you sat
isfactDn here. The Victoria is sold by
the Dairymen's Supply company, Phil
adelphia, Pa, and is nice perfect act
ing machine.

There is little difference in varieties
of asparagus. Rich soil and good cul-
ture viii make good shoots from any
kind. The Palmetto is now the most
popular sort. You can get the seed
from any good scotsman. Seed sown
in the spring and well cared for in good
soil will make you good roots for set
ting the next fall, and the second year
after setting you may get q 6ne crop.
You will get no crop next spring from

adjournment for lack Of quorum. On
motion of Senator Hill TO adjourn over to-

Brice was paired in favor of the motion
with Senator Palmer. In the morning
hour the resolution of Senator Wolcott,
which proposes that Mexican dollars shall

DISBANDlNG THE MILITIA



CHARLESTON, April THE scene of mil
itary operations in the dispensary war was
yesterday transferred to Charleston, when
]. Cary Watts the assistant adjutant gem
eral of the state, arrived here armed with
instructions from Governor Tillman to
disarm and disband the Fourth brigade
of South Carolina volunteer troops. Tho
charges arc that the brigade refused to
obey the governors orders and repair to
Darlington to suppress the insurrection.
The assistant ndjutant general came here
on a special train, and his instructions are
to take all the arms and accoutrements
back to Columbia with him. He called
upon General Huguenln. the commanding
officer of the brigade, and issued his
orders. There was no conflict. The COM
mnndlng general issued an order directing
each commander in the brigade to surren-
der to the assistant adjutant general all
the property Of the state in their possess
sion, and this order, it is expected. will be
obeyed by all tho commands.
Those who think. however, that the
Fourth brigade will be left unarmed will
find themse Ives very much mistaken. A
good many of them have rifles and cannon
which they bought and paid for them
selves. There seems to be no fear that the
companies of the Fourth brigade will dis
band. From 1871 to 1875 they existed rs
rifle clubs, while the negroes monopolized
the militia of the state. The rifle clubs
will probably be reorganized.
The dspcnsary spies having given thei-
evidence at the inquest In Darlington ure
daily expected here. 1t is understood that
they will resume their raiding. Mayor
