Every wear as soon as hot weather
begins or from MAY -. to June |, the
Experiment Station is in receipt of nu
merous samples of diseased cabbage
plants with requests for remedies for
the trouble.
The most prevalent diseases of cab
bage in this state are the white mildew
caused by the parasitic fungus Pero-
nospora parasitica, stem rot, caused by
the fungus cystOpus candldus and Club
foot or Big root caused by the fungus
PlosmOdOphora braasica. The first is
the most common and destructive.
As to remedies the most economical
and satisfactory one for the lower and
middle districts is to refrain from
planting summer cabbage. The cab
bage plant is native of a colder cline
than ours and cannot stand the heat of
our summers. The early varieties of
cabbage such as Jersey, Wakefield
Express. etc, may be transplanted to
the field during November, Decem Der
and January and will remain free from
disease and give good crop before hot
weather begius. Late cabbage of the
Flat Dutch type or SavOys may be set
out as soon after September 10 as the
rains begin, and will in most cases re-
main healthy and form heads before
NnflStIDdS. oLISI lIldl lueSe CdDDdge
growing in this climate cannot be made
profitable.
There is little success in treating ca b.
bage with fungicides. The leaves are
SO smooth and covered with a wax-Iike
"bloom" the fungicides viii not adhere.
Those who wish to make the trial
should use the copper sucrate mixture
for which a formula is given in Bulle-
tins 81 and % of this station.-GERALD

The dairy industry in North Carolina
within the last ten years has increased
to remarka BILE extent, far more than
is generally supposed. Bulletin No.
1O1 of the n. C. Experiment Station
treats of the states progress in this
direction and gives several reasons
therefor, one of which is the adoption
of the ''no-fence" law in so many of the
counties. and another is the determined
progressiveness of citizens in so many
localities.
The bulletins of the Experiment Sta
ton go to every one of the 90 counties
of North Carolina and to every post
office in each county.

Warts Upon Cows.

Ihave Holstein COW that has warts grow
ing all over her neck. Can you advise me how
to cure her &c. r. w. Saxon, n. c.
answered by F. E. Emery, Agriculturist n.
c. Experiment Stat1on)
These are quite common and usu-
ally harmless blemishes. They can
be removed by lunar caustic, blue
vttriol or chloride of zinc. If long,
first clip of; with scissors then cauter-
ize: or they may be corded with
sne string when they will soon
drop off. Warts are most trouble
some when on teats. If near the
eyes lunar caustic should be used
and applied carefully to remove the
blemish without injuring those organs.
The Experiment Station at Raleigh
in encouraging the dairy interests of
the state, offers to cooperate with the
next State Fair in conducting dairy
tests of the milk cows which will be
placed on exhibit at the fair in October
The tests will be conducted at the home
of the cows under conditions described
in bulletin No. 1902 of the station. The
prizes are three in number, $40, S25,
and SIS respectively. Write to the sta
ton for this bulletin.

A MURDER AND A SUICIDE,
JOHN TIEHNEY AND MS WIFE
FOUND DEAD
ON the Floor of n Cafe Pnrlor In
MlddIeton--A Mystery Surrounds
the Case and some Consider II n
Double mnrder-The Fncts.

Nlddletown. N. Y, Oct. "A mys-
terlous murder and suicide or double
murder occurred in this city this morn
ing. John Tlerney was found with a
bullet hole IN his right temple. His
wife was lying near him with a bullet
hole In her left breast, while a pistol
lay few feet away The affair oc-
CURED IN a cafe owned and conducted
by Mr.. Tierney. An aged uncle. Rob

and went down stairs to the kitchen
In the basement and built a IRE While
thus engaged he heard report which
did not seem to him, he said, like
that OF pistol, and the fall Of body.
and moment later 1t was followed by
another report. He sent young man
who had just come In the back door
OF the cafe to ascertain the cause OF
the noise. The young man returned,
reporting nothing. Shortly afterward
Mrs. Tierney's son Thomas, who Is
said to have been lying on a sofa in
the kitchen, went UP and found the
two dead bodies. His mother lay IN
the purlor with her feet in the bed
room adjoining and his step-father lay
In the center Of the parlor. He ran
to his mother and found the body still
warm, rlerney was gasping and froth-
Ing al the mouth. What at first APP
peared to be murder and suicide now
looks to the authorities like double
murder. Tlerney married Mrs Aic.
CURE, widow. with a son, some weeks
ago. Thomas was very angry at the
marriage and left the house for two
weeks. About the time OF the marriage
he took l4-callber British bull dog
revolver and threw It behind trunk
IN a closed bedroom. He claims no
one knew 1t was there but himself
Mrs Tierney had some property which,
previous to her marriage, II was

she died This was not likely, how
ever, after she married Tlerney There
were two others in the house who say
they did not hear any pistol shots.
Young Tierney gives It as his opinion
that his mother was murdered by Tier
neg, who committed suicide.
