Board OF Trade Meeting

A fair representation of the
business men met last night in
the city hall and discussed sever
al matters of vital local interest,
resulting in the appointment of
two committees-one composed of
Mayor Reardon, M. Fishel and
{. l.. Bittinger, to interview the
railroads; anG the other, Blttin-
ger, Helvenston and Sam Bird
sey, to see every merchant and
business man in town Friday
afternoon and have them sign an

flag a train, when in the vicinity
of Silver Springs. He sat down
on the rail and fell asleep, and
when his train approached, the

In time, did not slacken speed.
Jones was knocked off and terri

Visited the NOrmals

the honor Yesterday to visit the
summer normals now in session
and doing such excellent work in
preparing teachers for their win
ter duties.
At the colored normal we
heard Professor Warn on commits
sion, per cent. and fractions.
The lie cture ended, and by request
Of Professor Hines, the visitors
spoke a few words of encourage
ment to those present.
We found Mrs. Mathes in
charge of the white teachers,
who were just taking a recess.
When called together, Mr.. Warn
introduced Mr.. Zewadskl, who
captured the teachers in a capital
talk, relating some things done
in the legislature regarding legls-
latlon for the support of summer
normals. He said he opposed
the appropriation, largely infiu
enced by the arguments of his
colleague, M. L. Payne, but said
he was glad the appropriation
prevailed and the teachers re-
ceived the benefit OF the training
received IN these schools. He re-
lated a good thing on Payne in
his opposition to appropriations
to summer normal schools. He
said Payne's opposition was a
surprise, as Payne had always
impressed people at home when
he was county superinten-
dent as being not only a. most
Jealous school man but enthusi-
astic for normals. Payne op-
posed the appropriation in one of
his most earnest and eloquent
talks, when a number of prOmi-
nent members drew letters on
him, in which he was tooth
and nail for normals, which non
plussed the speaker and created
great laughter.
Mr.. Zewadski also related how
Hon. Ziba King opposed the
granting of aid to the Barlow
Military Institute because his son
had gone there, and, not liking
the place, left IN a few days, but
Superintendent Law demanded
pay and got it, but it made the
DeSoto county cattle king as fu-
rious as one of the roaming Tau
ruses in his herd at the sight of a
red flag. He wanted to get even
with the Barlow Military Insti-
tute, and was appointed on the
Legislative committee, which
made him happy. But judge of
Mr.. Zewadskl's surprise to find
on the return of Mr.. King from
the inspecting tour, change
had come over the spirit of his
dreams, and from frOthlng de-
nunciator he became an eloquent
pleader for the school. He said
his boy had fooled him and he
had gotten wrong idea of the
school. Instead of aboliShing it,
it needed aid and all he could get
for it, nothing was too good fol
it, and all he could do for it should
be done.
Here was a case where, coming
in contact with the subject itself
instead of taking hearsay testl
mony, restored reason and gave
a just and equlta bic verdict.
And, by the way, there is va
cancy in that institution for some
deserving Marion county boy.

Meat for Growing Chicks.


According to experiment made at
one o. the stations meat is of great
advantage to growing chicks, and the
feeding of ration containing good
portion of animal feed is found to be
less expensive than has generally been
figured out. This is due to the fact
that while it costs more per pound,
yet the results are so much better than
with a grain food alone, that one can
afford to pay more. This probably
would not be true to so great an OK
tent with grown fowls, where the
product is to be eggs and flesh formed
on developed frame. The great ad-
vantage of the meat diet is to start the
fowls into life with vigorous consti-
tutions and habits. 1t should be re-
membered that in their natural state
fowls live largely of Of insects and
other forms of animal life The whole
grain ration is rather hard on the d.
gestion of the growing chick. 1t seems
to US that it would pay to feed grow
ing chicks more meat, especially where
it can be purchased at low rate. A
few cents worth of lean meat scraps
per day would not mean a large in
vestment, but if fed for even a few
weeks would richly pay in more Wig
orous habit of growth established in
the chick.

Of the seed oats fail 10 produce any

sim damp from the field. and II such
oats are put In close bins the vitality
Of their germ is quickly destroyed by
heating. To make sure Of getting sound
seed oats they should not be threshed
until winter. and never be allowed to
heat In even the least degree. Every
such seed put into the ground will
not only grow. but it can be made to
produce q hundred fold. though this
Is hard to secure under ordinary crop
conditions. All our. grains are doubt
less for our climate sown more thickly
than Is necessary. More attention to
the quality of seed and its ability to
terminate would pay farmers better.
Grain that either will not grow. or that
makes such feeble growth that neigh
boring grain dwarfs it, Is about the
most expensive manure a farmer can
use. Yet this is what many farmers
are doing with large part Of the seed
grain that they put into the soil, where
it simply rots and furnishes plant food
for the seed that could terminate.

Ringing Grapes.

From Farmers Review:-This proc
ess is the removal Of a small section
of the bark surrounding the cane for
the purpose of obstructins the down.
ward flow Of sap, which is thereby
caused to accumulate in excessive
quantities in the portions of the cane
above the ring, and to supply these
portions richly with food materials.
Experiments were tried last summer
to test the results of ringing on sew
eral varieties. The rings Of bark were
removed in the period between June q
and July 5, when the grapes were from
one-third to one-half grown. The
width of the ring removed in most
cases was one-half inch, but ON some
canes only one-fourth inch. The fol-
lowing notes taken at the time of rip
ening indicate the results on each
variety:
Concord showed the first on the
ringed canes to be slightly larger and
. day or two in advance of the fruit
OF the rest of the vine.
Cambridge showed the fruit on the
ringed canes to be larger, of better
quality and two or three days earlier
than that on other canes.
Brighton showed no difference in
quality or size. but three days differ
ence in earliness.
Columbian Imperial showed very
great difference in size, the berries
averaged one-fifth larger on the ringed
tnan on the unringed canes, while the
rlnged canes ripened fruit two weeks
earlier than other canes of the same
vines.
Agawain showed only a slight differ
ence in size and earliness.
Herbert showed no difference excep:
that the fruit on the ringed canes was
poorer in quality than the rest.
Moore's Early showed no percep.ible
difference in size, quality or earliness.
Niagara showed the fruit on the
ringed canes to be two days earlier and
slightly superior in quality to that on
the unringed canes.
The. Delaware showed better and
earlier fruit on the ringed than on the
unringed canes. but showed the best
fruit where only small section of the
bark had been removed.
The best results were obtained on
canes where the bark evergreen the
sections from which 1t had been re-
moved. Where the bark overgrows
the section about the time the first
begins to ripen the surplus food ma
terial in the cane is drawn away into
the lower parts of the vine and the
fruit ripens with only a normal guam
tity Of food material present. If the
section Is not overgrowr, the excess Of
food remains, the fruit is forced to
ripen with this excess on hand, and
hence ripens improperly. The width
OF the section of bark to be removed
should vary according to the vigor OF
the cane and the variety. On strong
canes Of vigorous varieties three
fourths of an inch Is not too much
while on feeble varieties one-fourth of
an inch may be sufficient.

Thin Seeding of Grain.

Less grain per acre is sown in this
country than by English farmers, with
whom three to three and one-half
bushels of oats are often deemed nee
essary. says American Cultivator. Eng
lsh summers are nearly always moist,
and as farm land is generally rich it
needs this thick seeding to make the
plants crowd each other from the start
and thus prevent too luxuriant growth.
Here such a seeding on land of mod
crate fertility might not produce any,
thing but the straw of grain without
any heads. We once drilled some oats
in field and found at the end Of the
row that a wider balk was made than
the single width of the drill passing
across the rows at each end would COW
er. We were only sowing with the
drill two bushels of seed per acre. so
we thought, not to leave any balks. to
drill twice across each end. But the
second drill width, though it made a
good appearance, early dried up and
amounted to nothing about the time
the oats should head out.
II clean. sound, plump oats can be
had, bushel and half drilled in with
some phosphate is better than a great
er quantity. There is no crop. not
even wheat, to which commercial
phosphate is SO well adapted as the
oat. With this light seeding of oats.
which should always be drilled early,
we gave the oats light narrowing just
after the young shoots began to come
up. This broke down the ridges be-
tween the rows. and entirely covered
the leaves that first put forth. But it
gave q great stimulus to root growth,
and In q few days two or three or
may be more shoots would be put
forth by the root for every leaf that
was destroyed. The narrowing also
loosened the surface soil. SO that any
crust formed by rains will be broken.
The new leaves will start up 50 quick
" and 50 plentifully that no more
crust will form on the surface through
the season. Such grain always COW
ers the ground at harvest with a bet
ter crop than can be got from two
to two and one half bushels Of seed
eown per acre, but not narrowed after
the grain comes up.
The grain grown from such light
seeding is nearly always plump and
full, and Is worth more for seed than
grain grown in the usual way. On
rich land with q fair season We have
grown 80 to 100 bushels of oats from
% light a seeding as one and one-haH

Irrigating Strawberries.


Irrigation has two distinct advan-
tages; it discounts the possibility OF
loss from drouth. and increases fruit
production. Some commercial grow
ers have even trebled the average yield
by judicious irrigation. But there are
disadvantages. also. The fruit Is like
ly to become soft and unfit for long
shipment: a deterioration in quality
usually accompanies an abundant
water supply; and. again, the season
is retarded several days. II one is
catering to a personal and discrimi-
mating market, where quality is aD-
preciated, it would be wise to think
twice before irrigating frequently dur
ing the fruiting season. None of these
objections holds where irrigation is
practiced during the summer preceding
fruitage, and to my mind. this is its
legitimate place in strawberry culture.
1 believe that crop production depends
more on conditions during the first
seasons growth than the second, and
that our aim should be to carry great
lusty crowns into the winter with
plenty of reserve strengths. w.

For small quantities of seed, vitrio-
liking on a floor, in sacks, tubs. ETC..
docs very well, but for large quanti-
ties it is too slow, writes C. H. Lester
in Dakota Farmer. Heretofore I have
used a wagon tank with the top re-
moved. set o. two benches so placed
that lift of hundred pounds at the
front will raise that end ten or twelve
inches to secure drainage. Place tank
convenient to seed bin. Nail double
thickness Of wire screen on inside over
plug hole at back end of tank. Place
three barrels at back of tank into
which put your vitriol solution. and
also rlace a large wash tub under the
drainage vent The vitriol solution
will have to be constantly replenished
as we'll. l would here suggest that
when you buy your vitriol, you have
it finely ground when 1t will readily
dissolve in cold water, and don't use
tin pats to handle it with as the ac-
ton of the vitriol will ruin them. Hay-
ing thus made preparations, fill the
tank nearly full of wheat and level it,
then dip solution from barrels into
tank until the grain is entirely sub
merged. Let stand two minutes. No
skimming or stirring is needed as the
soaking is sufficient to kill vitality Of
smut balls. Knock out drainage plug
and let fluid flow into washtub, from
which dip it back into barrels to be
used again. When the flow becomes
sluggish raise front of tank and allow
to drain. The action Of the vitriol
water generates slight heat and a
in about an hour after draining, the
wheat can be scooped into a wagon
box or sacked. II sacked. fill sacks

change their position In order to move
the grain in the sacks to facilitate dry
