HE PAID THE PENALTY.

News came here last night of the
killing of D. Tongue, and the shak-
ing up of his brother William Ton
que, at small station on the Pee
Gee road called Wilton,
The news as gwen us, recites
that D. and William Tongue, young
men en- route to Prescott, boarded
the baggage car some where
up the road and were getting along
all right until near Wilton, where
the train parted at the car they
were on. Those familiar with the
automatic air brakes, know that
as soon as train parts, the air in
effort to escape, sets every brake
on the train-that' part which is
parted from the locomotive and it
is brought almost to a stand still,
and it was this fact that caused
the brothers whe were riding on
the forward platform of the bag
gage car to be thrown from their
places. D. Tongue fell directly
across the rails and was run over
and killed, while his brother was
hurled down an embankment. The
trainmen did not know of their
presence on the train until the ac-
cident happened, 1t is to be re-
gretted that the young man lost
his life in such a tragic manner.

Yesterday was a fairly busy day
IN the senate. Six measures were
passed aud one met defeat. Among
the important bills passed was one
by Senator Douglass regulating the
impoundiug of hogs, sheep and
goats, Senator Shackleford sue
ceeded in having a bill passed to
amend the primary election law OF

duced.
In the house a resolution giving
right of way to the appropriation
bills was defeated, indicating the
certainty that the session which
expires by constitutional limita-
ton March 9 will be extended at
least thirty days.

of constitutional amendment ex-
empting from taxation for seven
years capital invested in cotton

The best time to secure grape
vine cuttings is in the Fall, after
the first heavy frosts that have re-
moved the foliage. Cut the cuttings
in three-bud lengths from good,
strong, vigorous canes, Of the last
Summers growth, throwing away
the small or immature end of the
cane. Put the cuttings in a moist
sand bed, not wet, in the cellar,
where they will keep moist and not
freeze. In the Spring after the
dangers of frosts are past, spade up
a bed of rich soil. Ii a mixture of
clay and sand all the better, and

Berry Culture.

Every farmer should raise enough
berries to supply the family all the
year. There is nothing more deli
cious and healthy than strawber
ries, raspberries and black berries,
and no other crop on the farm pays
as we'll for the small outlay and the
land they require. September is
the month to plant them, and when
this is properly done good crop
can be grown the first year.
A northern slope that will drain
well is best A great many make
the mistake of getting the soil too
rich for Strawberries, and get big
crop of vines with very little fruit.
Land that will grow good crop of
corn is just right, and when proper
~ planted and cultivated will al
ways produce plenty of fine berries.
The soil should be cleared of all
weeds and rubbish, well pulverized
with disk or cultivator and harrow,
and then plowed deep and thorough
ly pulverized after blowing Mark
rows 3 feet apart and set the plants
in deep, putting half pint of water
with each plant and packing the
dirt firmly around the roots. Late
in the Fall they should be mulched
with clean straw, marsh hay or corn

vate shallow, but not after the
plants begin blooming, rs it will
cause them to rust.-Fruit Grower.

FOR THE FARMER.
Orchard Treatment.

Good drainage, natural or artitic
ial, is essential to success. Trees
are impatient Of wet feet.
Good tillage increases the avail
able food supply of the soil and also
conserves its moisture.
Tillage should be begun just as
soon as the ground is dry enough
in the Spring, and should be re-
peated as often as once in ten days
throughout the growing season,
which extends from Spring until
July or August.
Only cultivated crops should be
allowed in orchards early in the
season. Grain and hay should
never be grown.
Even hoed ar cultivated crops
may rob the trees of moisture and
fertility if they are allowed to stand
above the tree roots.
Watch sod orchard. 1t will
begin to fail before you know il.
Probably nine-tenths of the apple
orchards are in sod, and many of
them are meadows. OF course, they
are failing.
The remedy for these apple
failures is to cut down many Of the
orchards. For the remainder, the
treatment is cultivation, fertiliza-
ton, spraying-the trinity Of ORTIZ
odox apple growing.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be
applied to fruit trees, particularly
after they come into bearing.
Potash may be had in wood ashes
and muriate of potash. 1t is most
commonly used in the latter form
An annual application of potash
should be made upon bearing
orchards, 500 pounds to the acre
Phosphoric acid is the second
important fertilizer to be applied
artificially to orchards. OF The

the entire bed with chaff, in which
there are no weed seeds; or, what is

will keep down the weeds and re-

The rouud-headed borer (Saperda
candida) is one of the troublesome
insects, and it has killed many a
tree. The eggs are deposited in
May or June, when the weather be-
gins to get warm, near the base of
the trunk of the apple tree, The
larva eats it's way through the outer
bark tn the inner and takes about
three years to develop. 1t works in
the sapwood, where it forms fiat,
shallow cavities, filled with saw
dust-like castings. These are often
seen on the bark and indicate where
the borer is at work. As it reaches
maturity it cuts a passage upward
into the solid wood, and then it
curves toward the bark. In this
channel it enters the pupa stage
about Spring. When fully develop
ed it is an inch long and has a
round head that distinguishes it
from the fat-headed borer, which
also affects the apple tree.
MISUNDERSTANDING the trees in
Autumn, and where the sawdust-
like castings indicate the presence
OF the borer stiff wire may be
pushed in and the larvae killed, or
sometimes the larvae can be cut
out with a knife. About the LIST of
June apply the following mixture
to the trunk of the tree; One pound
of hard soap, or one quart Of soft
soap in two gallons of water, heat
to boiling and add one pint Of crude

nous green manures.

Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops than when applied to or
chards; yet they can be used with
good results, particularly when re-
juvenating the old orchards.
Cultivation may be stopped late
in the season, and a crop can then
be sown upon the land. This crop
may serve as a cover or protection
to the soil, and as q green manure.

TAKES s; The ELEPHANT.
Constable Levies on q Circus Animal
at Anderson, Ind, and Forces
Settlement of Claim.

One of the performers Of circus quit
at Anderson, Ind, the other day and
demanded his pay. There was some
trouble and he at once took steps to
attach Gypsy, the elephant. The pa
pers were issued and placed in the
hands of Constable Bravy, who levied
on the elephant and her trunk.
The show people brought out some
papers which contained reports of her
vicious character and her almost sue
cessful efforts to clean out several
towns, and announced that they guess
ed they would let the constable have
his elephant. She had just been put in
heavier chains, but the officer did not
feel safe even under those conditions.
The parade was not given and the
constable had possession Of the ele-
phant. When the show people saw
that the officer would probably make
arrangements to keep her they pushed
the money out over the counter and
took the elephant back into the fold
and went on to the next town.

EXPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Great Falling OF In the Foreign De-
mand for the Breadstuffs Of
This Country.

There is marked decrease in the ex-
port movement of products of the field
and farm. The foreign demand has
fallen off, and the sales of breadstufs
abroad for the II months of this fiscal
year were S5O,791, ,474 less than for the
same period last year. There was de-
crease of S5,235,619 in corn and S32, ,255,-
AS in wheat, but an increase of So, ,3s7,-
1886 in -four.
The exports of domestic animals
dropped $780, ,46S, and of cotton S21,-
713,O4O, while provisions and dairy
products showed gain of S5,35O,S11.
1t thus appears that in domestic ami
mails, breadstuffs, cotton, provisions
and dairy products there has been net
loss in the export trade for the II
months of S75,6O4,151.
While the great staples of field and
farm show. large shrinkage, so far as
foreign trade is concerned, the facto-
ries and the mines have nearly made
good the deficit, so that the total value
of the exports for the period named is
$1,130,633,511, a loss Of only Sj,S7O,O96,
as compared with the same period last
year. The balance of trade for the II
months is S495, ,243, ,762, a decrease Of
$76,475,422, as compared with the same
time last year. The wonderful activity
in the factories suggests largely in
creased home demand TO counteract the
losses in the foreign trade to the
farmer. 81
