THE SAVANNAH PUBLIC BUILDING
What Miles a. Bradt Have to Say
About Granting a Delay

Atlanta, Ga. Sept 17.-Ediror Of the
Morning News: The Washington dispatch
and an interview which appeared in your
issue of the 18th had a tendency to mis-
lead readers as to our attitude in the cor
respondence relating to the proposition to
build your poStoffice of marble. We wish
to correct any false impressions that may
have been made 1t is true, in our an
swer, we limited the time we could hold
up on our work to Jan. l, simply because
no time was named in the departments
dispatch to us. 1t is not true that we
would not hold up few weeks longer
We were not asked to do so. We are ready
and willing to do anything within rea-
son to meet the views of the people of
Savannah, although what we have done
has placed US in an embarrassing position
with those with whom we had contracted
for materials, and while our advices from
the department indicate that it is wholly
improbable that congress would make an
additional appropriation, we are yet wilt
ing to hold up and give the Savannah peo-
pie a chance to try.
We desire it understood it is not the 3D.
ject Of this communication to invite any
controversy as to the merits or dement's
of the proposed change.

States revenue cutter Forward did a very
brave act on DeNilliers street at Pensa-
cola Sunday afternoon. 4 large number
OF children were playing in front OF
stable shed, under which two horses were
hltched TO a post The horses became
frightened. and began to rear and plunge.
jerking the post out and bringing the
entire shed down to the ground. The
crash of the falling shed Increased their
fright, and they started TO run through
the crowd Of children. dragging the
post after them. The little ones were in
imminent danger. and doubtless some of
them would have been seriously injured
but for the prompt action of the two ma
rlneS, VINO were passing, who rushed IN
front of the horses, seized their brides,
and held TO them until they were subdued.
L. Z. de Medicis of St Augustine who
runs log camp for the Builders Supply
Company, near Twelve-mile Swamp, came
TO town on the Tuesday morning train
with an immense bear, weighing 800
pounds. Mr.. Medicis had an exciting ex-
perience with the bruin. He was in his
tent and heard what he believed to be a
bear outside. He seized his gun and went
out. The night was dark, but lie
could see the animals form few hum
dred yards away. He leveled his gun
and fired, and the bear made for the
swamp. Feeling sure that he had wound
ed him, Mr.. Medicis followed him. Before
he knew il he was upon the wounded beast,
which showed fight He hastily retreated
and when al g safe distance he fired again
and killed the beast. The bear was an
old one and of immense proportions. MIR.

The most destructive enemy of shipping
and wharVes in southern waters is the
teredo. This little worm of the southern
sea has caused the loss of millions of dol
lars of property, and many have been
the devices by which ships and wharf
owners have sought to overcome its raw
ages. About a year ago Thomas j. Chit
derson. foreman of the paint department
of the Pensacola navy yard, claimed that
he had discovered a preparation when
applied TO wood would prevent the raw
ages of the teredo. Since that time he
has prosecuted his Investigations and ex-
periments, and now announces that ii
has proved a complete success. A block
of wood, which had been painted with
the preparation, was placed in the hands
of Mr.. Mcdonnell. chief of the construc-
ton and repairs a the navy yard, about
the first of last May. Mr.. Mcdonnell u,
once submerged the block in water where
the teredo would be quick to attack II,
and allowed it to remain until last Thurs
day. On taking it from the water the
block was found to be covered with the
little white worms The wood was perfectly
sound, showing no sign that the worms
had been able to penetrate it.

The Dakota Jack Rabbit.
From an Exchange

The jack rabbit is prairie institution
that gives the settlers dogs plenty of ex-
ercise. When a settler sees a jack rab-
bit for the first tinae-starts him up sud
denly on the prairie, he imagines that by
a quick movement he can lay his hands
on him. The rabbit is awkward, appears
to be lame in every joint, holds up one
foot as though it panied him, and alto
gether creates the belief that he is a de-
lapidated wreck Of an ungainly. animate
thing The settler is surprised that he
cannot grab" him. The settlers dog.
also, is confident that be can quickly
make an end of the rabbit. He bristles,
run leisurely toward the rabbit, doubles
his speed, doubles 1t again, triples that
quadruples the whole, when, 10. the rab-
bit disappears. There is some flying
grass a vanishing streak of light, twink
ling Of two prodded feet extending rear
ward. and he. IS gone The dog sits on his
launches and concludes that it was a
dream. and that he did not see a rab-
bit al all.

Phosphate Shipments and Sales in
New Territory.
Ocala, Fla, Sept. n.-Yesterday was the
date of the excursion trip from Tampa and
intermediate points over both the
Plant system and the Florida Central and
Penlnsular. The crowd brought in was
estimated at 500 to 600 persons, largely col

DR.. Charles w. Torrey feels particularly
fiattered that he has succeeded in receiv-
ing letter from prominent freight Of
hcial connected with the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, stating that If the
phosphate miners of this and neighboring
counties would give liberal shipment of
rock for southern and western points,
his line, the owners of the Gulf Transit
Company's vessels from Pensacola to Cal
weston, would inaugurate line to Tampa,
with coal one way and phosphate for re-

pers with the brokers get together we
will know what can be done along this
line to improve the sale of phosphates in
new territory.

A look around the east and south side
of Lake Weir demonstrates the fact that
the orange groves that sustained the least
damage by the freeze, are those of Sam
Hodson, at East Lake, and Capt. Lyttle,
al stanton, short distance south of East
Lake The former grove is covering the
trunks and limbs of the trees
some ten to fifteen feet high
with vigorous growth of
new wood, while Capt Lyttle's
trees show up, some of them twenty feet
any one could wish for All predict they
will have fruit on these trees next year.
IL the winter is not too severe. There are
also a number of groves that show won

of the trees, in consequence the owners
are very much encouraged, so much so
that they will rehabilitate their groves
James A. Harris, who is known as a
pioneer orange grower in Marion county,

lightning, so that he was unconscious
from late in the afternoon until early
morning. He was standing in the yard
when the bolt struck the house, tearing

and breaking the cement lining. He is
able to be around again.

FARM AND GARDEN.
EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.

Something About Those Conducted by the
Canadian Governments.
For several years past the provinces
and the federal government of Canada
have been taking an active interest in
the improvement of agricultural meth
DDS throughout the provinces, and at
present the equipments of their So
called experimental farms are very
complete and efficient. The central ex-
perimenta1 farm, situated near Ottawa,
comprises some 500 acres of land and
complete outfit of buildings and the
necessary machinery. The buildings
are especially fitted up for cattle,
horses, pigs and poultry, and all OF
these are well stocked. There is
dairy equipped with the modern ap-
planes for carrying on experimental
work. The farm includes a seed-test-
ing and propagation house and con-
servatory. Besides this central station
there are eleven experimental farms
situated in other parts of Canada, and
these carry on experiments in agricul-
ture, horticulture and arbOriculture
with much profit. The several farms
are situated so as to render them as
helpful as possible to the most thickly-
populated distric cts, and in their equip
ments and general methods they re-
semble closely the central station.
The staff of workers at the central
experimen tai farm includes a director,
an agriculturist, a horticulturist, a
botanist, an entomologist and chem
list. There are also a poultry manager,
q foreman of forestry and several
assistants to assist the members of the
staff. The work is varied in nature
and has to do with practically every
thing which relates to farming in Can
ada. The adaptability and merits of
various varieties of wheat are, for eX-
ample, the subject of careful inquiry.
Experiments are carried on to deter
mine the vitality and purity of various
agricultural seeds, and to investigate
the nature of the diseases of plants and
trees, and the cure for the ravages of
insects. Various varieties of fertilizers
are tested to determine their compare
tive value with different soils and crops.
The study of the care of animals is a
very important interest, and the value
of different breeds of stock and their
adaptability to various climates and
other conditions are carefully investi-
gated. These stations examine the
scientific and economic sides of butter
and cheese making. Experiments are
carried on to determine the best meta

fruit raising or for shelter or timber.

SALABLE TURKEYS.
The Old Fashioned <SobbIer Gives Place to
a Medium-Sized Bird.


Medium-Sized Bird.
All commission merchants agree that
it is the medium-sized turkeys that sell
the most readily and are the most
profitable. The birds should dress
eight, ten or twelve pounds, according
to the proportion of toms and hens,
they say, and should look plump and
clean. These birds are the first Sc
lected, and the others go off more
slowly. At over fourteen pounds Il re-
duction in the price is demanded, while
birds at eighteen or twenty pounds are
almost unstable at greatly reduced
rates.
Of course there is some demand 2o1
large turkeys for hotels and boarding
houses, but the private family will
have none of them, for two excellent
reasons: First, the oven in the average
city house is too small to accommodate
such 1ordly bird, and, secondly, the
size of the family not being in proper.

Hogs in Clover Grow Eat.

Hogs running on clover are singular.
~ free from disease, says the American
Agriculturist. If a wind-proof shelter
is given the sows at narrowing time,
with plenty of clear water at all times,
their care during the growing season
will not encroach on the farmers time
further than to irrigate the pasture
occasionally to keep the clover thrifty.
In the late fall feed on clover hay,
turnips, beets and a little grain.
Large, rangy sows should be kept, as
they are the best grazers and mixers.
and should be bred to fine boned,
quick growing males. The mother
will insure the pigs a good start and
the sire quick growth, SO that they
may be finished with the least expense
for grain.
