Another masked ball is to be given to-
night. The French has been dropped from
the tickets this time, aand there is moth
ing about a "bal masque" or Club
Universale." Probably some of the fea-
lures that made the last balls given at
the Odd Fellows Hall rather racy will
not be eliminated from that which will be
held tonight a Armory Hall. The tickets
to the ball announce that it is given by
the Cosmopolitan Club 1t is understood
that this is a successor to the Club Uni
versatile" as some of the same parties are
known to be interested. The balls have
evidently paid or furnished a great deal
of amusement for their promoters, or
their repetition would not be so frequent.

IL would take from FIVE to six days TO
convene this Third House of Congress.
The Spooner bill he said. was impracti-
cable.
As to how the South feels In regard to
this question of quarantine, DIR. Drake
said there had been a radical change In
public sentiment brought about greatly
by the experiences in the epidemic of last
fall. The people, with the exceptions he
had named, politicians and salaried health
officers, and the press, with only a few
exceptions-were in favor of national
quarantine. Many commercial and other
organizations have declared in favor OF
It,
Dr. Drake closed by urging upon the
committee the necessity OF immediate
action on this most important question.
The committee viii probably be some
time in acting upon the bills. There are
numerous measures on the quarantine
question before 1t. but the Spencer and
1 ,,sl nilis are the most important ones.
The sentiment of the committee seems 10
be for a national quarantine law.

Pumpkins in Corn.

~. M" asks if 1t is not a good practice
to grow pumpkins in corn, and If there is
one variety much better than the others.
Many years ago it was almost a univer-
sal practice in the South to plant this veg
etaole in the fields of corn, especially On
the bottom or swamp lands. Now there
are very few, we believe, who follow this
practice. There is not much profit in 1t,
TO be sure, but the pumpkin makes very
fair, succulent food for such stock as viii
cat it. 1t is very wholesome for hogs and
also for cows. You can along in April or
May, or even later, go through the field
of corn and plant any vacant hills with
one or two sound seeds. few weeks
later the young vines should be hoed
around, then let them rough it. If the
land is rich a considerable number of
pumpkins can thus be made. They keep
well usually. Procure seed from some one
who has grown the vegetable in your
nclghbOrhood

Growing srhaIa Fruits.

How to succeed? That is the question.
There are many elements that enter into
the requirements of success in small fruit
growing, but the space here allotted Will
not permit going largely into detail, says
fruit grower in Practical Farming.
We wish first to notice the three main
clements in this chain of requirements
namely, the soil, the climate and the
man.
The production of small fruits can be
obtained in the sand and everglades of
Florida, and in the ice climate of the far
away Klondike, yet we would not expect
pest results in such extremes. A soil rich
in phosphate acid and potash would be
given the preference in making your Sc
lection Sugar tree" land is in our opin-
ION, the best to work on, being naturally
rolling and we'll drained.
The climate should be free from all
dangerous frosts-but it isn't. We get
very nervous on cool nights the middle
OF May and the first of June, and some
times Smoke" and buster around about
o'clock in the morning but the selection
OF high rolling ground will prove your
pest protection against thus most destruc-
tive clement
The man is the most important element.

Selection of Varleties-More failures are

local fruit grower and ask him to give

"B. L. M" asks what is the best mate
rial for furnishing potash as a fertilizer.
AS we have stated before in reply to the
same question, there are not many sub
stances afording potash in a form cheap
enough for ferulizing purposes.
The ashes of cotton seed hulls, where
they can be procured from a nearby mill,
constitute the very best potash fertilizer
That the Southern farmer can use. But
these ashes are not readily procured by
many. Ordinary oak or other hard wood
ashes are also in limited supply. The
chief resort now is 10 the German potash
salts, sold by all dealers in fertilizers. The
low grade kainit is more extensively used
than the richer salts. Kainit contains
usually from u to IA per cent. of potash.
In our neXt issue we will publish the
analysis of these several salts for your fur

TO PUT UP NEW POLES.
Ways of Damage to the Fire Alarm
Iele2raDh

The Fire Commission intends putting IN
new telegraph poles to take the place of
those which have outlived their useful
ness.
Chief Mcguire is now negotiating for fine
purchase of the poles, and expects to close
the contract for a large shipment in a
short time 1t is found by the commits
sion that, while great many of the poles
decay and have to be replaced for this
reason, equally as many are DESTROYED Nv
continual whiting of persons who seem
ngly find no other way to pass away their
time. To avoid this the telephone and
telegraph companies generally wrap the
poles with wire or other material whirh
prevents this abuse, and also protects The
poles from considerable damage which
would otherwise be done.
When the poles arrive for the Fire Com
mission, they will be set where needed at
once as the Importance of keeping sub
stantial poles in the system is thoroughly
appreciated by the commissioners.
