Farm and Garden Notes.

A light, we'll drained soil is neces-
sary to successfully grow muskmelons.
Once a month at least every chicken,
old and young, should be thoroughly
powdered.
Every pound OF manure that can
possibly be made should be collected
and spread ON the land.
Throops is trouble prevalent with
young pigs and is due to feeding too
much grain and giving too little exer-
else.
Keep the hoe bright by constant
work among the bedded-out plants, as
cultivation is to them what food is to
the body.
Be careful to grub out all weeds in
the corners before they go to seed and
thus make you plenty of extra work
next season.
If q spell of dry weather comes, help
out the little moisture the plants OBJ
tain from the dew by the frequent use
of watering-can.
The round silo is best, as the great.
est capacity is secured with the least
side exposure. A round silo is thus
the most economical.
1t is hardly necessary to urge the
fiower-grower to keep the weeds down.
Weeds and plants, while often close
neighbors, are not fast friends.
A knapsack sprayer is necessity on
every fruit and vegetable farm, and its
use will save much time and labor in
combating disease and insects.
Use considerable care in pruning
shrubs during the summer, for while
the operation in many cases is success
full, in others it results disastrously.
In many sections the rust is often
on strawberry plants. This disease
may be controlled to some extent by
moving off the tops of the plants after
fruiting.
Hogs do better if they can get in the
shade during the heated days of sum-
mer. They cannot be harmed by the
chance to get there if they are so in
clined.
II you want good garden you must
give it clean culture. Good seed and
care in planting may have given you a
good stand, but neglect now will re-
suit in poor crop.
Green cabbage worms succumb to a
powder made of Pyrethrum powder,
one pound, cayenne pepper halfpound,
-four one and half pounds. Apply
with powder gun when the dew is
on.

JudicIous Poultry Feeding.

All who raise poultry recognize the
fact that it is impossible to give any
definite rule for feeding, either as to
quantity or variety, and that the con-
ditions surrounding each individual
flock must be taken into consideration
in supplying ration. 1t is also gen.
orally recognized that different breeds
require different courses of treatment
and feeding for the best results.
There are, however, a few general
rules which apply to feeding all
breeds. In feeding for egg produc-
tion, only sweet feed generally will
produce the proper flavor in an egg,
and consumers of late are quite as par
hcular about the flavor of the eggs as
Of other things they consume. The
active Leghorn can stand much more
corn than the heavy Brahms or the
medium weight Plymouth Rock. In
grain foods all poultrymen should
recognize the value of wheat, oats,
corn, barley and split peas fed in
mixture over any of them fed sepsr-
ately, for egg production. 1t will be
plainly seen that the question of judi
cious feeding is one that must be reg
ulatel to suit the requirements of
ones flock. If the best results
come from a ration that is not gen.
orally accepted by poultrymen as the
best, never mind, stick to it until you
have good reasons gained from your
own experience to change.-Atlsnta

Indian Canals.

Probably the largest canal in the
world is the Chenab Irrigation Canal
in the northwest provinces of India.
It's breadth is 200 feet, with a main
channel some $50 miles long, while
the principal branches have an aggre-
gate length of 20O0 miles, and the vii
lage branches will extend, when com.
pleted, some 1000 miles additional.
But, apart from irrigation, the longest
canal in the world is that which ex-
tends from the frontier of China to st.
Petersburg, aud is 4472 miles in
length. The Bengal Canal, connect
ing with the river Ganges, is 900
miles long, and in all India there are
$4,000 miles of canals, irrigating s.
100000 acres.

Miss Elizabeth Taylor, writing in
Popular Science News of the plants

curious sight which she witnessed in
the lava fields near Reykiahlid. Motto
ing wreaths of steam issuing from the
summit of small volcano, she
climbed up there, and found band

plants, bearing large flowers, encir-

The steam warmed the flowers and
the rim of rocks protected them from

The Grave of COLUMBUS.

A native of Syracuse. N. Y, who
visited Cuba took a number of photo.
graphs during his stay there of which
he is decidedly proud. One of the
best is a picture of the Columbus
Monument and chapel in Havana.
This spot is of special interest to tour
lists, because it is claimed that the
body of the great discoverer is buried
there. 1t is the first place shown to
visitors, and the guides take great de-
light in telling of the great deeds Of
their adored hero.

Pigs Drive on n Python.

Ernest Hose communicates to the
5arawak Gazette some observations on
IN encounter between a python and
wild pigs in the jungle at Tambak. A
young pig had been seized by a large
python, and the cries of distress sum-
moned about twenty of the herd to an
attack. They gored the python
savagely with their tusks, and so
harassed and lacerated it as to force it
to relinquish its prey. The python
was ultimately killed by Mr.. Hose

JUDGE MCCoMAS for United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. German.
Hon Louis Il. McComas.

In few days the Maryland Assem-
blymen will be called upon to cast
their ballots for a successor in the
u. S. Senate to Hon. Arthur p Cor
man. Until last Friday Governor
Lowndes was looked upon as the lead
ing candidate for the place but his
manly withdrawal from the race has
placed him far up in the estimation
of his friends and now few of his
political enemies. BY this withdrawal
on the part of the Governor the race
is left open to two or three others, all
prominent men in the political his
tory of the State. Among this num-
Der is Hon. Louis e. McComas, of
Washington county, who SO ably rep
resented the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict in Congress for six years and
upon his retirement to private life he
carried with him name untarnished.
Shortly after his retirement he was
appointed Chief Judge of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia by
President Harrison which position he
continues to hold. In all his public
life Judge McComas has been free
from anything that would bring re-
proach upon him and was one of the
ablest members in the House of Rep
resentatives where he was held in
high esteem by his associates.
Judge McComas' chances to succeed
Mr.. German are bright and the rep
resentatives of Garrett county in the
Maryland Legislature are urged to
use every means to secure his cleo
ton. He is the choice of the people
of this county. He has been their
friend and now is the time to reward
that friendship by honoring truly
honorable man.
