War Talk and Scientific Cooking

There is no talk in Birmingham but war talk. Every man is giving his opinion. In view of this a reporter for the Age-Herald called on Paul" Everybody in Birming- ham knows Paul." and his opinion would be valued.
 ''What do I think of war; said he. "I am not taking much stock in war with Spain. I am too busy making war on com- petitors."
 Paul says he is entirely too busy attend ing to the wants of the various bodies which meet in Birmingham and desire to eat, to dabble in war. A few nights ago the Alabama Scientific and Industrial as- sociation had a banquet at Paul's cafe They all express themselves as being de- lighted, and Paul contends that scientists ought to know scientific cooking. '.
 Paul has entertained the three carnival kings. and he says if they declare war he will enlist.

FORTY-TW0 CASES
Tried Before Judge Feagu Yesterday Morn
 ing.

Forty-two cases were tried in the police court yesterday morning.
 Of this number, five of the defendants were declared not guilty, three were re- leased on account of age. one was turned loose on three charges because of his men tai incapacity, and one, a woman was discharged because she had children to support.
 Fines to the amount of $275 were assessed, and of this sum $25 was paid.

LETTER PERFECT.
An Ambitious Young Soldier Who
Thought He Was Dorm
to Command.

Elmer Campbell was the greencst and most
ambitious raw recruit in Col. Hartigan reg
iment of Tigers. The young man was the
best type of the "hay.foot, straw-foot' sol
der in the ranks, and yet he was more anx
ious than anyone to become an officer.
He pleaded with the colonel so long that
the latter finally told him il he would secure
book on tactics and master it he should
have the first chance to show what he could
do when there was vacancy among the Off.
GERS. Campbell bought book on tactics
and stayed up late at night to learn its con
tents.
Forward, column right Tor left, as the
case may bel, march,"
That was the form of the orders in the
book. Campbell learned these by heart,
parentheses and all. He even committed the
explanatory notes to memory. He was mas,
ter of that book of tactics and military life
began to take on a roseate hue in his eyes,
One day the colonel called the men out for
drill and told Campbell he could try his hand
at giving orders il he wished. Campbell

the book had told him was the proper thing

explained itself, hearty laugh went al

Making Manure.

In order to make the most manure on
our farms we must grow clover in ro-
tation with wheat, corn and potatoes,
! would try to get a heavy crop Of
clover to grow, then secure this for
hay, then pillow under the second
growth to make vegetable mold for the
succeeding crop, whether it be pota-
toes or corn. There can be no doubt of
clover sod being the best for potatoes.
This has been demonstrated by the
best potato growers in the country.
We must positively save all fcrtilizing
materials of our farms. In doing
this the old, leaky stable floors
must be replaced by those that are
tight. Plenty of absorbents must be
used in the stables Mt all times, there.
by saving all fcrtlizing material. This
must be kept under cover TO prevent
loss. In the absence of cover | would
haul direct TO the field where it is
wanted This being done, practically
no waste is had. The manure should
never be sprea on deep snow, but on
land that is nearly bare.
For rotation with wheat would SOW
after potatoes. First thoroughly pre-.
pare the seed bed by extra culture, ap.
plying well decomposed manure for a
dressing. If this is lacking | would
apply the ground bone of commerce.
This will insure good catch of clo-
yer, which would best be sown in early
spring. In rotation with corn | would
apply the manure in the fall, no mat
ter how coarse this may be. When the
plat is plowed in early spring the win.
ter teaching of snow or rain will be
advantageous, thereby securing large
crop of corn, BY blowing under the
coarse manure, it will have u tendency
to make the soil loose as well as rich.
Extra culture libcrates the plant food
stored up in the soil. No labor is lost
in making the seed bed fine. Then APP
ply to it good, rich fertilizer of some
kind.-C. w. kellogg, in. Gentleman

Having considerable experience in
handling wool, | offer your readers the
following points: There is Il very
marked difference between wool grown
on poor sheep and wool grown on a
fat sheep. The fat Sleeps wool is
worth about double that of u poor
sheep, pound for pound. An. expert
enced person could separate the
feeces, the poor from the fat, as fast as
he could handle them. Take little
wool in your hand, press it into a
wad then let it spring out If grown
on a fat sheep it will spring out to its
full extent like india rubber; if grown
on poor sheep it will spring ont part
of the way and crawl little farther
but not the full limit The crawling
is sure indication of poverty. When
sheep are very poor the wool is brittle,
and not much better than shoddy.

Spanish Peanuts, Cowpeas and Sweet Pota-
toes ms Food for PIgs-Results Of
Alabama Experiments.

The Alabama Agricultural Expert
ment station has recently issued II bull
letin on peanuts, Cowpeas and Sweet
Potatoes as Food for Pigs" Summarize
ing the experiments, Mr.. j. +. Duggar,
agriculturist Of the station, says:
Spanish peanuts, when harvested by
young pigs, were converted into pork
worth, at three cents per pound, Sls34
per acre OF peanuts, when all condi-
tions were favorable. In another field,
with only half stand Of plants, the
value of the pork from an acre Of
Spanish peanuts was 5000 and $3.50
in two experiments. Under favor
able conditions pork Give weight
was produced at the rate of
/ ,426 pounds per acre of peanuts, sup
plementcd by 37.s bushels Of corn.
With half a stand of plants, an acre of
Spanish peanuts produced, unaided,
pork at the rate of 26l pounds per acre,
and at the rate of $40 pounds per acre
when the acre of peanuts was supple
lnented with 35.6 bushels of corn.
When Ted to pigs in pens only 2.S
pounds Of unhullcd Spanish peanuts
were required to produce each pound
of increase in live weight. This ia
equal to pounds OF increase, worth
81 cents, as return for each bushel OF
peanuts eaten.
