Sometimes it is very difficult to point

GARDEN IMPLEMENTS.
The Best Should Be Found In the Han,
of Southern Truck Farmers.


The Best Should Be Found In the Hands
of Southern Truck Farmers.
As matter of course it depends
upon the number of acres cultivated.
whether gardener or trucker should
have few and simple implements that
are run by hand-power, or the most
improved implements run by horse
power.
We have seen. oftentimes, a very ex-
cellent small garden of one-quarter or
one-half acre made mainly with the
aid of spading-fork and a hoe; in
fact, we have seen a backwoods darkev
make first-class small "truck" patch
with nothing but his hoe. But where
market gardening or truck farming is
carried on large scale there are GER
tain implements that he can not fail
to use If he would conduct his business
on the most economical schedule.
Besides the ordinary plows. he wi i'll
recognize the value of a harrow. a
roller, a double cuitivator and a ma
nure distributor. No intelligent truck
err would long deny himself the use Of
these labor-saving, success-insuring
implements. If man is absolutely
unable to purchase these necessary inn
plements, of course he must do the best
he can without them. But if he is able
to buy them under any conditions, it
would be very poor economy to attempt
to do without them.

vegetables should have the necessary

A FEW SUGGESTIONS
About Growing Sweet Potatoes in the
Orchard.

About Growing Sweet Potatoes In the
Orchard.
I'm the SOUTH" says an exchange,
''the sweet potato is q good crop to
plant in an orchard. The potato vines
cover the soil early in the season, pre-
venting the sun from drying the land
and scorching the trees. Not alone SO,
but the sweet potato Is fertilizer like
the pea, and improves the soil all the
while; and it is a surprise to us that
orange growers have not learned these
facts long since, and used the potato to
keep up the fertility of their orchards.
plant the potatoes in rows four feet
apart Cultivate fat. or as near so as
possible. The result will be favorable
to both land and trees"
While it is quite true that the sweet
potato Is one of the very best crops
that can be planted in an orchard,
where the intention is to take the crop
from the land, still, growing such q
crop as this should not be allowed after
the third year of the planting out the
young trees After the roots of the
trees have extended out into the mid
die, as they will have done by the
third or fourth year, further disturb
ing of the soil should cease entirely.
There is such thing as an exhibit
ton of greediness that nature is quite
likely to resent. After one has under
taken to establish an orchard the
first regard ever afterward should be
for the welfare of the trees. Every
thing done should be in their in
terest, and when the trees begin
to bear all blowing should cease.
The roots should no longer be
cut or broken by the pillow. What
ever crop is grown upon the land
should be purely for the benefit of the
trees. If the growth OF the trees indi-
cate a lack of thriftiness in the growth
of foliage, showing lack of the neces-
sary nitrogen, some pure ground raw
bone should be worked in around the
trees out as far as the limbs extend,
and in September and October bur
clover should be sown in the orchard
(six or seven bushels per acre., and this
crop should be allowed to die on the
land in May or June, at the furtherest,
pasturing this clover crop in the spring
with calves.
A great deal of harm has been done
to orchards by growing crops between
the trees after the trees had begun to
bear. Where this is done it is done at
the expense of the well-being and
longevity of the orchard. Do not be
greedy. For the first year or two it is
permissible togrow sweet potatoes, but
no later.

In some ways it is easier to be poor

the former has so many cheap treats at

A CHASTITY FIND.
An Old Soldier Hangs Himself In the

An old soldier, inmate of the Soldiers
Home. made a CHASTITY discovery while
strolling through the southeastern part
of the grounds about noon today. He was
crossing e. gully between the two hills not
far from the spring when his attraction
was attracted to the form of a man sus-
pended from a limb of tree.
A rope around the mans neck was WIS.,
ible from a distance, and the other end
being securely fastened to the limb Of the
tree, made 1t evident that the man was
dead. The soldier who made the discovery
walked nearer the CHASTITY find, and dis
covered that the body was that of a Ger
man named Fred Brockmeyer.
The deceased was an old man and had
served many years in the service. He had
been an inmate of the home for several
years and was favorite with his comrades.
He was not a drinking man, but recently
his peculiar actions had attracted the at
tention Of those about him and they con-
cluded that his mind was unbalanced
When word of the sad occurrence was
sent to the main building the body was
lowered and removed to the hospital, where
1t will be viewed by the coroner this after
noon.
