Horticulture,

If the Strawberries you set last fall
show a disposition to fruit bearing,
do not encourage them. Pinch off
the blossoms as they appear, and let
the strength of the plant go toward
making the plants more vigorous
for next years fruiting. Cut off the
runners, excepting where they may
be needed to form new plants.
For summer use the hedge may
often take the place of a fence, and
will shut off some unsightly part of
the premises. Such a temporary
hedge may be obtained by sowing a
double row Of sweet peas; and if no
seed be allowed to form, a bunch of
the sweet scented flowers NAV be
picked daily nearly all the summer,
or they may be sown by wire fence
already there.
1t is urged that we are keeping up
a careful system of cultivation in the
orchard by growing some small fruit
therein, and are getting some return
while waiting for trees to come to
maturity; but the gooseberry alone
does well in the shade which comes
after the first or second wear.
Heavily MANFRED vegetable crops
are preferable, tor thus we give back
to the soil all the drain we make up
on it.
Pear trees are heavy yielders, and
50 make heavy demands upon the
soil where planted; if not furnished
in abundance we can not expect
large and handsome fruits. If plant
ing out one or a thousand this spring.
select the richest, we'll drained
ground you have in which to place
them.
1t is folly to waste time and money
on good tree and then fail to STAY
and protect it with good stake.
Tie the tree to the stake with wisp
of straw, twisting the band in the
form ola figure eight. Thus secured,
it can neither sway back and forth
nor rub against the stake.
The cOnsumptive demand for fruit
may be, and should be, greatly in
creased. Fruit is healthful, and vet
is a luxury in many homes. The
people eat all the bread per capita
they ever will, and any increase
swells the surplus, but the country
can easily use three times as much
fruit as now.
The demand for fruit increases
wonderfully when it can be bought
from first hands by consumers. The
hills of the central ATTITUDES are we'll
adapted to fruit growing, and, since
wheat and stock seem to no longer
pay, large acreage is being devoted
to peach, plum and apple orchards.
If the orchard is to be so much of
side issue with you that you can
not afford to give it almost as close
cultivation as you do the corn-field,
it will be well not to plant it at all.
1t is just as important to keep the
weeds out of the young orchard as
away from any other crop.

MEN AND HORSES.

The elegant new palace horse car,
recently built for the Hamlin's, has
been sent to Ed Geers at Selma, Ala,
who will use it in transferring his
stable to Louisville, Ky.
We had the pleasure recently of
looking over lot of youngsters by
Thompson d Watkins grand COM
bined horse, Silver Dare. To take
them as a whole, we have never
seen more promising lot of colts by
any sire. They all have big style
and beautiful action, even those from
ordinary farm mares.
Roy Miller, who is training at
Macon, Ga, thinks Norman 2:12I
by McEwen, will be a good horse
this year.
The Boston horse show was a COM
plete success, and a net profit of
about $4,000 was realized. Wistful,
the Tennesses bred mare. by Wedge
wood, won over Young Miss. the
dam of Binger, and Emily the Ham
lin entry.
Geo. NJ. Garth, of CORTLAND, Ala,
who bought recently from Grand
View Farm, the FLY Bayview,
thinks she will pace in 2:25 before
she gets to the races this year.
Helena Duplex, which he also
bought of Grand View, has been
bred to Brown Hal. This mare is
by Duplex out of a mare by Brown
Hal.
The great show mare, Lady De
Jarnette, is dead. She was at Mr..
John II. Hughes stable, near Lex
ington, to be bred to Rex Mcdonald,
the saddle stallion and was found
dead in her stall.

Stock.

Because the fodder is getting short
do not let your eagerness to get on
the spring pasture get away with
your judgment. 1t will pay far bet
ter to buy something to carry the
stock for few weeks in good shape
than to turn into the pasture too
soon. BY letting it get good start
it will last the longer, and carry
more stock all the season.
While horses are young make it a
constant effort to teach them to be
rapid walkers; there is no better
way to increase their capacity for
work. See that they have a change
of food occasionally; they should
not have an exclusive corn diet after
they get at the heavy spring work /;
and give them something better
than hard floor to sleep upon.
When the stock goes out from
under our closer supervision in the
stalls, into the pasture fields, if we
do not make some special provision
for their wants we are pretty sure to
neglect them during the busy time
of blowing. We are too apt TO let
them 60 a week or two at a time
without salt. Let them help them
selves, and they will take Just
enough.
Sheep like to browse on young
weeds, shrubs and briars, but they
can not thrive upon them only. To
be thrifty they should have clean
food, clear water and plenty of salt.
All who have raised sheep with

profit would give as the reason for
their success that they took good
care of their fiocks, and they would
say this unhesitatingly.
The feeding principle in feeding
hogs is not simply to stuff them.
A hog can be Overfed. Too much
placed before them may surfeit
them. The hog is not dainty ami
NAL, and cannot be easily thrown off
his feed, but when diges ion is inter-
fered with an inroad begins to be
made upon the profit. On the other
hand, there will be loss on the food
consumed, if fed too scant.
1t is not the pasture only which is
harmed by turning out the stock
too early in the spring, but often the
stock suffers as well. 1t does no
stock good to be exposed to the early
chilling winds of the season after
having been closely housed during
the winter, and no one will deny
that it is especially disastrous to
dairy cattle, for there will be an i'm
mediate shrinking in their milk.
An animal receives more nutri-
ton from a given amount of grain
which is finely ground than if fed
whole; but there is one objection to
the ground feed, and that is that the
mass may solidify in the stomach
and be hard for the digestive juices
to act upon. Mix it with cOarser
food always, and nothing is better
than cut hay or straw
In feeding the sheep have you run
out of straw, hay, corn fodder and
ensilage? Let the lesson be to sup
plement these things, another year,
with cotton seed meal, linseed cake,
dried grains, malt sprouts, corn or
bran in small quantities. Let the
locality govern you in the choice,
but some such combination will be
saving, and helpful to the stock.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-04-24

A surplus expended in the improve
ment of the farm usually earns bet
ter dividend than when placed in the
bank, and makes the surplus large
next year. 1t is not wise to be so
saving that one cannot have a good
barn, proper tools for work, good
stock, and everything which will
promote the money making power
of the farm.
There is such "a thing as 50 run
ming a farm that it and its outfit de-
precIate in value with each sue
ceeding year that crop is taken
from it. No method will pay, in the
long rum unless so conducted that
there is constant addition to the
value and productiveness of the land.
1t can not be disputed that the

Poultry.

On dairy farm buttermilk can
not be better disposed of than by
feeding it to fowls. 1t will decidedly
improve the egg production, and the
hens soon grow eager for it. Where
given freely there is little demand
for water, and its saline qualities are
of benefit. 1t is richer than skim
med milk, and is fed for fattening
with the best results.
The different parts of ordinary
market bones contain in abundance
the ingredients which make up the
growing chicken, and the identical
substances, in wonderfully close
proportion to the different parts of
the complete egg, shell, yOlk and
white.
The lime phosphate in bone yields
all the necessary lime salts for the
egg shell, and the necessary phos-
pilates for the interior of the egg.
These substances are found in an es-
pecially digestible condition, more
so than in food supplied from dry
meat, corn or wheat; and is it any
wonder we hear so much about the
advantage of feeding this new food
to the poultry?
Do no. be too stingy to pay a fair
price for a well bred fowl. Good
things come high, but are usually
cheap. Poultry, for the money in
vested, pays dOubly more than any
thing else on the farm. Every hen
should make clean profit of dol
lar year in eggs, beside what she
is worth when sold or eaten.
Sell off before September all your
cocks, old or young, and all old
hens. Old hens moult in the fall,
will not lay, and are liable to die.
By no means use the same cocks the
second year, for inbreeding stops
the laying qualities~pf the birds.
New cocks can be bought cheaper in
the late fall than in the spring.

nothing, and it will probably cease its sit
tings shortly.
The legal phase of the strike occurred
to-day upon hearing before Judge Overs
of the District Court to bail for the twenty
two prisoners charged with the murder of
Fireman O'Keefe at the Coronado Monday
morning. The Sheriff and Marshal testi-
fl that the arrests had been made upon
complaints, and they personally had no
knowledge of evidence sufficient to hold
any OF the prisoners.
District Attorney Thomas wanted all
the cases dismissed, but this the court de-
elined to do. The attorney for the de-
fendants also requested a hearing of the
merits of the cases before dismissal or a
finding.
The District Attorney in the afternoon
created scene and was ordered out of the
courtroom by the Judge, the Sheriff
escorting the disgraced officer of the court
from the hall.
Judge Overs decided that in view of the
state of affairs existing here and for the
reason that the defendants and he him
self desired thorough Investigation to be
made the prisoners should be released on
bail in sums of $500, and the Sheriff was
directed to accompany the miners who
desired to go out and obtain sureties.
Although interest centered about the
Courthouse and great crowd gathered
during the hearing no trouble occurred,
the militia preventing a crush of specta-
tors in the courtroom.
In the afternoon crowd also gathered
about the Rio Grande depot to await the
arrival of the special train bringing in the
Joplin miners. The depot was surrounded
by State troops, and no one without a pass
was permitted to cross the lines.
At go four carloads of the local citizen
soIdiery were sent to Malta, four miles be-
low, to guard the train as it came in. The
train arrived at Malta at about 4 O'Clock.
Alter some delay, it proceeded cautiously
up to the city. Along the line of the tracks,
in the suburbs, there was no demonstra-
ton. On the arrival of the train at the
Poplar-street depot, the miners alighted
and formed on the depot platform.
| The order of march was given and the
newcomers, preceded by the soldiers and
hanked and backed by the guards, started
for the hills. Their progress was viewed
| by thousands. At some points on the line
demonstrations were made against them
and there were jeers from the striking
miners and women and children.

sires to see it, shows that the original
vote when the last delegation had an-
nounced it's choice stood 131 for Webster
and Ill for Babcock. Then the Twenty
eighth changed five votes to Babcock and
the Forty-fourth changed three votes to
the same candidate. This made the cor
rected vote stand: Webster 123, Babcock
119. In announcing the result the chair
man called the unreviSed totals instead OF
the corrected figures and on this mistake
the charge OF fraud was based. a minute
or two given to honest investigation would
have shown the true state of affairs and
prevented an unjust charge against a
painsIaking, able and honest official of the
convention.
John Hebbarc, John Hunt, Carroll Cook,
G. K. Bonestell and Jonn h. Finn were
placed in nomination by eloquent spon-
sors for Superior Judges. Chairman Rior-
dan resigned the char that he might have
the pleasure of placing in nomination his
schoolmate of thirty years ago-Carron
Cook. Lincoln T.. Savage, in nominating
Finn, prefaced his eulogy of that gentle-
man by saying: II was sent te Jail for
twenty-four hours for contempt of court
that is what l got from Judge Hebbard." !"
"Good," shouted voice from the gall
lery, and almost instantly the entire house
was in a roar of laughter at the expense of
the speaker.
1t was not Until the Thirty-first District
was called that vote was cast Tor Heb
bard. The five votes announced for him
here started the convention cheering at
each announcement of a vote until the
enthusiasm became nuisance, and the
chairman was forced to request the audi.
ence to refrain from any demonstration
until the result of the ballot was an
nounced, but when the chairman an
nounced his vote for Hebbard he was
loudly applauded.
JUICE Hunt had the proud and unusual
distinction of receiving the solid vote of
the delegates of the convention. The real
contest was between Hebbard, Finn and
Bonestell. though at no stage of the ballot
ing was Hebbard really in the fight.
There having been only four nominations
for Police Judges and five for Justices Of
the Peace all the candidates for these
offices were nominated by acclamation.

lsbors tonight, there remaining nomlna-
tions to be made only for Supervisors and

In the first year of free wool IL 2OO000 600

all classes reached $50, ,000 900 pounds, while

Though the Republican convention OF
the City and County of San Francisco was
in session for two hours last night, so
much of the time had to be devoted to
permitting the delegates and the specta-
tors to give expression to their entnusi-
asm over the various nominations that it
was possible to nominate candidates only
for Superior and Police Judges and JUS
tices of the Peace, as above.
Some few there were who thought
further work of the convention would be
postponed pending definite result from
the conference called by Chairman Nc
Laughlin of the Republican State Central
Committee for the purpose of giving the
recalcitrants under the leadership OF
Martin Kelly an opportunity to make their
peace and to Climb into the band wagon.
But feeling secure in the justice and
strength of its position, the very existence
of the -Raineyites appeared to be
for gotten, and the labors of the delegates
went ah ad with an enthusiasm that ex-
celied any yet exhibited.
They were stimulated with the lust for
battle by the inglorious rout of the enemy,
ana there was vim and force about the
proceedings that spoke in subtle but un-
mistakable tones of deep and strong con-
fidence in victory against the Vaccinations
of the traitors who claimed allegiance to
the Republican party, and against the
more manly adversaries of the opposing
parties.
Secretary Andy Branch was wroth and
indignant over the unfounded charge
made in one of the Kelly Rainey organs
yesterday morning that a fraud had been
perpetrated in recording the vote for Su-
perintendent OF Public Instruction. 1t
was charged that votes for Babcock had
been knowingly and with fraudulent intent
counted for Webster. Secretary Branch S
