Made Them Stronger.

New York Times on Germans Speech
He has made the President and the
House stronger even than they were.
He was dangerous as a secret plotter,
or even as an open advocate. But
his opposition, his spite, his abuse,
his mendacity, are new force on the
side of party honor and of patriot
ism. His threats are idle. 1t Is for
the House to dictate terms: free coal
free iron ore, the abandonment ofthe
special rate for the Sugar Trust, or
an indefinite session. And the I'M
checked wrath of the baffled corrup-
ZIONIST from Maryland shows that he
knows his peril.

Ever Bear.og nTuIberries.

The botany of the mu1berrtes Is much
mixed. They all belong to the genus
morus, except the tree known as the
Otaheite or paper mulberry, which IS
Broussonettia. This tree is seldom
found fruiting here as the vast maj or-
ity of those grown on the stamlnate
OF male treeS-Inorus multlcaulls, the
Chinese silk worm mulberry-caused
great excitement IN this country fifty
years OF more ago, with a great craze
over silk culture. From this species
Charles Downing raised the variety
known as Downing's ever-bearing,
which produces a large and very good
fruit, but as it lacks hardness in the
north Is now grown only in the south
There are three classes OF mulberrles,
the white. black and red. but they
sport greatly, for white mulberries fire.
quent1y give black fruit species
from Russia, the Tartarian mulberry,

varieties raised from the foreign spe-
c4es, besides that of Mr. Downing-and
several from our native red mulberry.
The most promising of these native
sorts Is the Hicks ever-bearing- This
Rose of Macon, Georgia. as a tree for
furnishing cheap and abundant hog
food in summer. 1t is a very profuse
and continuous bearer for three to four
months, and is as valuable for chickens
as for hogs.
It is stated that the Stubs mulberry,
which was sent to Mr.. Berckmans. the
nurseryman Of Augusta, Ga, by Colo
mel John NJ. Stubs, of Dublin, Ga,
is the most prolific of all, even exceed
ing the Hicks. 1t produces fruit jet
black and fully two inches long, and
is very good table fruit Mulberries

A New Potato Pest.

Several complaints have reached the
station from Columbus county concern
ing the ravages Of 9 hitherto unnoticed
insect upon growing Irish potatoes
Mr. A b. Smith, Of Armour, N. c.,
writes Thousands of these bugs
have suddenly appeared on my pota-
toes. there being an average of three
or four to each plapt. They do not eat
the leaves but puncture the growing
tip causing the plant to wither and
soon die. What is jt and what shall
do for it ?" Mr.. J. B. Chadbourne Of
the same county sends specimens and
writes in much the same strain.
The insect Is Leptoglossus phyllopus
true bug closely related to the pre-
daceous Thick thighed Soldier bug
Acanthocephoiis femorata. This in
sect is not common in this state and
has been considered beneficial because
it feeds upon thistles and occasionally
attacks the terrapin bug of the cab
bage. IN Florida it attacks the orange:
Now that it has changed its diet from
thistles to potatoes. it is likely to be-
come troublesome pest.
REMEDIEs.-As this bug does not
by assenites. The only remedies are
the kerosene emulsion and hand-picla-
ing The latter will prove upon the
pans containing some water and film Of

Three Forage Plants For Sandy Soil.

Among the plants suitable for very
dry sandy soils. the three best forage
plants are Spurry (spurgula arvensisl
SeradeIla (ornithopus sativus,) and
Sulla, tHedysarum cOronarium.
SPURRY, belongs to the pink fam
lily, which includes besides the gar
dep pinks the very common weeds,
chick weed, mouse ear and sand
wort. From an economic standpoint,
this family is far from promis-
which has been found OF use as forage
plant. Animals refuse this until they
get used to it, and then seem to like it.
The plant rs highly valued for sheep
and COW pastures on the sandy heath
lands of Holland and Belgium. It is
thought to give superior flavor to but
ter and to the flesh of sheep. Spurry
has been tested ON large scale on the
pine barr ems Of northern Michigan and
is very highly recommended for that
section. 1t has been tried In small
way in some of the southern states,
but With no great success If IL has
any value for the Carolinas it will be
for the long leaf pine district. For
good average land some of the legu-
mines will give better satisfaction.
Spurry may be sown broadcast, using
about pounds of seed per acre, any
time from March LIST, to Septemb Der 1st.
The plant grows about 1a inches high
and Is very prolific in seeds. Spurry
seed possesses great vitality, and the
plants usually break ground days after
Sowing the seed The subsequent
pastured in 8 weeks or mown for hay
weeks after sowing the seed. This
plant seeds so heavily and the seed has
Auch great vitality it is liable to become
q more troublesome weed than chick
weed in cultivated ground. 1t should
not be used except on land too poor to
produce better crop.
SERADELLA is a member Of the great
and eninently useful pulse family-in-
Guiding the clovers, peas. beans
etc Like all the members of this
family, Seradelia is able to draw upon
the free nitrogen of the atmosphere
and hence for green anuring is supe-
rior to Spurry. This plant is a native
of Portugal and Is there highly esteem
Seradella rs an annual, grows about
"a inches high. seeds fairly well and
the heritage is easily cured for hay, and
well liked by stock, Seed may be sown
broadcast about April list. using 20 lbs
per acre. The growth is much slower
than that of Spurry, and only one crop
can be grown in year.
suLLA. (Hedysarum coronarium) is
also legumine and is native of
Spain The uses and value of this
plant are much the same as Seradella
but it Is somewhat inferior to the lat
ter.
All three plants above described can
be recommended only for very poor
sandy lands or where no fertilizer can
be afforded. When the land will bring
good crop of COW peas, or soy peas
these latter are the better plants to
grow either for forage or green wa

WALKING IN oARNoT's FUNERAL

There was however, amid the
mournful splendor Of the pageantry
Of last Sunday one figure on which
all eyes were fixed. The new presi-
dent, fllnging etiquette to the winds,
followed tho dead president to.-his
tomb. Alone, in the broad interval
between the family carriages and the
great officials who followed, walked
Casimir-Pe a target for anarchist
bullets. He was told 1t would be an
act OF rashness, and that the police
iii such circumstances were powerless
10 protect him. Nothing could move
him from his resolve to do what he
thought duty to his predecessor and
10 the state. 1t was, In truth, an act,
not Of rashness, but Of high courage,
OF personal courage, and Of that civic
courage which Is higher still. This Is
the spirit In which the menace OF an
archist murder is to be met and 80
long as this spirit inspires the leaders
OF civilization, the enemies OF civiii
cation are impotent-G. W. Smailey's
Letter to New York Tribune.
