tiiatsd Before the squire.
The police court was a scene of ac-
tivity this morning-somethip IN
usual-and women as well as those
of the sterner sex were among the
wrong-doers whom Magistrate
Schroeder had before his highness
to pay the punishment to fit the
crime. Mrs. Lizzie Nichols and Mrs.
Hattie Bender were asked to contrib
ute $40 and costs each to the citv's
funds. Yesterday the twain went
out for good time-anp as
the shades of evening were begin
ming to show their effect two glori-
ously loaded females could be seen
perambu!ating up Third avenue arm
in arm in a zig-Zag condition, headed
in the direction of the Bender wom-
ans home. at the corner of First ave-
nue. and Twenty-second street. Their
maneuvers attracted quite a crowd.
and someone prompted by sense
of decency notified police headquar-
tiers. Mrs. Bender was in a more
navigable state than her comrade,
and made herself scarce before the
officers arrived. The Nichols woman
was taken down, and after a nights
lodging at the city hosiery was
abled to discover what was going
on. Mrs Bender, upon request,

when charged with drunkenness
she was only taking the other wo-
man home-but her smooth talking
couldn't move the court. The

she was making her home with Mrs.
Bender until such time as she could
secure employment. She was for

police chief for his strictness, and
said that when she lived here before
under different administration and
chief, leniency was extended the fe-
males in such cases. Mrs. Nichols
and her friend succeeded in raising
sufficient amount to liquidate their
fines.
Assaulted With Siung-Shot.
Isaac Truesdale. a resident of the
lower end of the city. was bound over
to the circuit court under 5000 bonds
by Magistrate Schroeder this morn
ing for assaulting Douglas Waite, a
nei.hbor. with a deadly weapon.
1t seems the difficulty grows out of
the Indebtedness of Waite to Trnes-
dale of 81. The latter called for the
money Saturday. and upon being in
formed that it could not be paid at
present. struck Waite on the head
with a slung-shot, knocking him al
most into insensibility and inflicting
a scalp wound. He was afterward
caught by Officers Bender and Carnes.
Too Much Mouth.
Upon charge of breach of the
peace preferred by Fl. Schroeder. the
Twentieth street market proprietor.
Lemuel Hudson was fined so and
costs this morning. Hudson shot
off his mouth to Schroeder Saturday
and used language of 4 rather abu-

was not fixed so financially as to re-
nit his fine.

more viruient it would have been advan-
tageous to have given a tablespoonful of
EPSON salts in quart of water Qor the

quently used for external application, but
the ointment of vaseline, carbolic acid
and sulphur is probably unsurpassed. Lo-
cality has much to do with the dreadful
disease. and it is always desirable to give
the fowls water in an iron vessel in which
is kept few nails. The iron imbbed will
have good constitutional effect and tend
to ward off the disease.
This disease should always be promptly
treated and one should be very careful in
handling fowls affected with it. Fowls,
as well as cats, may impart diptheria to
children, especially. This has been clear
ly established, and one can not be too
careful to stamp out the disease of roup
instantly on its appearance in the poultry
yard. See that the fowls have no access
to anything impure, either liquid or solid
matter. The fall of the year is the most
dangerous season. Old fowls are more
susceptible at the moulting season.

Planting MuIberries for Hogs.

/ have eight or ten acres of rather poor
land turned out seven or eight years ago
and now grown up in saplings and mis-
cellaneous growth. I have an idea of
clearing off the growth and planting null
berries to make hog pasture of it. Tell
me the best kind to plant; when to plant,
and where to get the young trees. After
setting out trees and getting them well
started, couldn't l sow some permanent
grass on the land? The land is poor. and
in some places badly quilted. The soil is
washed off of several acres. How many
years would it be before the trees would
bear freely. J. NJ. L.
Wilkinson county, Nov. Z.
Such thing as you suggest has been
done with more or less success. The null
berry is about as easy a thing to grow
on such land as anything. If you could
get a good growth it would be a profitable
thing for you. The mulberry, as you may
know, makes the finest post in the world
The Hicks Everbearing is perhaps the
best, but there are several kinds and you
might include few of each of the others
for the sake of comparison If you have to
buy the young trees to start with, they
will cost you $40 to $15 per 100, according
to size. If you have access to any old
trees you can make plantation more
cheaply. You can either use cuttings of
the branches or of the roots of the former,
take cutting about three feet long, taking
off joint of old wood, the previous years
growth. Bury these cuttings in light
loamy soil, leaving about half the length
out of the soil. Pack the soil firmly about
them and water Apply water from time
10 time and hasten the throwing out of
roots. Set out early in the spring and
cultivate sufficiently to keep down weeds
and encourage growth. Some manure
should be applied around each plant For
two or three years the young trees should
be cultivated with pillow and hoe. Then
after having attained some size the land
can be seeded down to grass and clover
or beggarweed, and the result should be
a very valuable eight or ten acres in the
course of a very few years, carrying the
matter to the anticipated conclusion of
making it the basis of extended pork pro-
duction. There are several nurserymen
in the south who raise the trees for sale.

starch From Cassnva.

E. w. Codington contributes to a local
journal the following in reference to
Cassava: He states that his own expert
ence Indicates that a good quality of
high pine land will produce, with fair
cultivation and no fertilizer about 10000
pounds to the acre the first year" Our
own experience was on first-class fiat
woods land which had been heavily fer
tilted for strawberries for three years
and a good application of manure was
given to the cassava, yet it did not pro-
duce one-half the above amount. A yield
of 10000 pounds represents $500 pounds
of pure starch, and we are very much
doubt if any high pine land will give
that without fertilization
He says it may almost wholly take
the place of potatoes and the cereal grains
in the form of tapioca, but no house,
keeper who was not forced to do ii by
very short allowances would be willing
70 spend an hour or more in cooking
this refractory root.
Mr.. Codington gives the price of Flor
ioa lands to be used in its cultivation
at 81 to s. an acre, as compared with $50
an acre for corn land in the north. He
overlooks the fact that II costs SIS or $50
an acre to clear the Florida pine land.

Boar Hunting.


Here we found still much larger boar,
the center of a well tramped circle per-
haps twenty feet in circumference cleared
by the dogs in their frantic attempts TO
get at the hindquarters and escape his
tusks In this the maddened pachyderm
was circling wheeling suddenly and strik-
ing from side to side in a wild attempt
TO do his tOrmentors to the death as he
described long curves through the air
with his villainous looking tusks, all the
while keeping up an odd combination
OF groWl, grunt and squeal. The noise
made 1t possible for us to get within fifty
yards before being discovered by the
enemy. Then, just as each of us was rails
ing his rife for a shot, without a mo-
mentS pause entirely forgetting the
small fry at his heels, he rushed upon
me, head down, with seemingly no thought
but to deal the dreaded upward thrust
with his tusks. Just then q had better

gled for a few seconds in the death
throes, with the now embOldened pack
doing their best to hasten his departure.

perilous sharpness, was one to be proud

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

Practical Examples of the Advant-
age of Having Many Things to Sell.
The tendency in farming for a number
of years has been toward specialties
rather than a diversity of crops of farm
products. If the farmer lived in a grain
growing section, every effort was made
to produce more and more grain If, on
the other hand, dairying was followed,
no stone was left unturned to keep more
cows. Whatever may have been the wis
dom of this policy in the past, II IS a

that there is a most excellent chance to

figures. The essentials to success are
cleanliness, warm buildings, proper food
and drink, with sharp grit at all times,

fowls, and more if IL could be had. Con-
filming fowls into small yards is risky bust

pullets is enough. The selection of breed
depends on the purpose for which you
keep them. If for eggs alone, Leghorns
and other small non-stting breeds will
fill the bill; If for broilers, Plymouth

and ease with which rice can be cultivat-
ed in Florida. Experience has proved
that in nearly every section of the state
the soil is adapted to its cultivation.

state for the years named below was as
