J. w. Van Lindley of North Carolina, a
noted and experienced horticultural. thus
describes the Carman peach in the Rural
New Yorker:
After thoroughly examining the Car
man peach. with other varieties ripening
about the same time, we all OF us have
decided that the Carman is the best peach
the best shipper, ripening perfectly all
over. When perfectly ripe It leaves the
seed clean. I fruited ii this year in the
sand hills of Moore county. North Caro-
lima, where the sand is perhaps fifty feet
deep, and also here In the foothills at my
home place, in red clay land. Here at Po-
mona II seems a little earlier than Con-
netts Early, though at Southern Pines
they seem to ripen near together.
II haven't fruited the Carman enough
to tell all about its bearing qualities, but
believe, from the bloom, which is a large
strong one, that 1t will hold its fruit when
many other varieties fail; and this Is what
Mr. Stubenrauch. the originator claims
for IT, So l am certain, from what'I have
seen this year, that Carman is going 10 be
a leading market peach for that reason.
1t ripens here, common seasons, The first
week in July. This season was a very
late one. and all early varieties were at
least ten days later lhan usual"

The Mule I'm the South.

A bulletin of the Agricultural Depart
ment of the government shows how the
mule has been a curse 10 the South be-
cause 1t is non-productive. when South
eEn farmers farm with mares that raise
colts. new era of osperty will dawn"
says the bulletin. Just so; but let us con-
slider what a tedious process that must
necessarily be. From the first the plant
ers had no call for other stock than mules
10 do their farm work. and il was cheap
er and easier for them to purchase mules
in Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri than
to keep mares TO grow either them or
horses. Fences were few and such
young stock would have been decidedly
out of place while growing up to maturity.
The mule has become as much a part Of
the life of the colored man as is his dog:
and being so, he is naturally prejudice6A
against the horse, besides "Sambos voice
in praise of his "mu-il" is much more mu-
steal than IL would be to laud a boss"
But in time the horse will largely supplant
the mule in the South. The change will
be made very gradually. We can even
now see il occurring sporadically. FARM
ers used to horses are settling there and
taking their teams with them. The young
colored laborers are learning how TO
handle horses, farms are being fenced
more and better, and this will make it
more convenient to grow horses. In
about fifty years the TRANSITIONAL ton will
be complete and then The old colored
man with his mule" will be memory.

Poultry I'm Ho, Weather

May Build the Mil.

Judge Aldrich has decided that the
Paco.et Manufacturing Company has the
right 10 build a mill near Gainesville. Ga.
A month or more ago Francis j. Pelzer of
Charleston, representing the minority
stockholders, all of Charleston, brought
action against the Pacolet company TO
enjoin them from building 81. OO0, goo cot

plaintiffs were represented by Modecai &
Gadsden OF Charlesto ton, and the Pacolet
company by II. a. NJ Smith of Charles
too. and S. j. Simpson and C. p. Saunders
of Spartanburg. The question involved is
whether the Pacolet Manufacturing Com

Too Much Politics.

East Coast ADVOCATE: Politics has been
the all-important and everlasting cry in
our ears for some months past. Florida
-Brevard and Dade included-seem TO be
burdened with politics. From the largest
centers of population TO the smallest
crossroads and hamlets. the local poliSi-
clan is in evidence, each one vieing with
the other 10 how these United States
which some claim are going 20 the
"demnition w-wows''-should be man
aged by the President and his cabinet.
And during election time there obtains
a feeling of bitterness that makes enc
mics of friends, and often divides com
munity into two distinct elements. which
frequently carry their differences into the
walks of private life and business. Now
lea some of Us residents of Brevard and
Dade turn over a new leaf and devote
some of our spare time to the develop
ment of our land. and the growing of
pineapples and citrus fruits.

proportion and quantity:
Pho schor!c acid ..............12 pounds
Pc ash ............ ............14 pounds
Lime ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. -. p5uncs
Besides this 81 pounds of mineral ele-
ments, IS bush Is CT wheat take also 3
pounds of nitrogen. This element though
known as "a mospheric." must go into
the op through the soil just as the min
eral elements do.
II does look like any fair soil could be
made to produce 10 bushels of wheat
without any very great effort or expense
As you say two acres producing at that
rate would supply a small family abun-
dainty with bread and at TIE same time
furnish a nice Little quantity of bran for
the milk COW and also some shorts. 1t
would allow also of setting aside several
bushes for sesd. Fart to sell and part for
home use the next year. If you take
much interest in poultry keeT ing you will
find II a good thing TO raise at least a
half acre of wheat for the special pur-
pose of feeling the hers with 1t. Wheat
fed hens will lay in the winter and early
spring when corn-fed hens are not likely
to lay.
If your soil produces 10 I" 70 bushels
of corn without feIt lizers there is no
reason whatever for your not making it
produce 10 or even p bushels of wheat
next year by applying the above mate
rails to the soil 1t depends greatly how
you pre- pare the SOL the quality AMI
quantity OF seed us ami the time #

will be more or less free from smut and
rust how great will he your success in
raising wheat. Wheat is so subject to rust
in our cl mate that it has been
the greatest draw hack in is
culture. But for this difficulty the
Southern farme- would have no excuse
for neg ectng it's culture.
If pc ssibe procure seed from some one
who raised 1t in your section this year
and whose crop did not rust. Pillow your
soil thoroughly ty the middle of October
aud free it as much 70 sible from all
trash and unde 7omposed vegetable MAJ
ter. Sow two bushels CT seed on the
two acres sowing as evenly as possible,
and when the sell is fairly dry. Then give
tie land q good rolling after the seeds
have been narrowed in Before sowing
the seeds wash them well in strong blue
stone water and then dry them off by
rolling in fresh airs aktd lime.
As you have had TO experience with
wheat we would advise you to sow one
acre broadcast and sow one acre in DIR
IS or p inches apart ami cultivate this
acre about three times next sprirg dur
ing Mar, h and Arril; use three p cks of
was ed seed on this acre and five pecks
on the broadcast acre. If you will follow
this advice you will find next year that
you have learned something about wheat
that will be useful to you in the coming
