observations on Southern Horticulture.
The question of transportation OF
fruit is the great one at present. In
northern Alabama and in some parts
OF southern Tennessee the Strawberries
were rotting on the vines this spring
lat a time when they were selling for
10 cents per box in Chicago. They
had been picked to supply the local
demand till the prices fell to a point
where picking was no longer profit
able. The price was low because the
growers were virtually cut of from a
market. Within few hours from that
time, the writer was in Atlanta, where
,hernes were selling from wagons at
from z to IL cents per box. The
growers around Atlanta simply had
access to good market.
There are certain fruits better suit
led to the sandy lands than others and
these only should be grown. We men
ton the peach and plum, the cherry
and the grape, and the Kieffer pear.
At Southern Pines only two varieties
'of grapes are being grown-the Del
aware and the Niagara. These two
varieties are best suited to the soil
and conditions mentioned. OF the two,
the Delaware probably stands at the
head. This is due to the fact that it Is
less affected by grape diseases than
the other, and also to the fact that it
sells at a higher price in the market
The Delaware should be extensively
grown in the South, for it is hard to
owerstock the markets with this yari-
ETY.. The Niagara is profitable where
the marketing conditions are favor
able. Many Of the other varieties of
grapes require a stronger soil thar
the varieties we have mentioned.

1.-Two stock News i.

Ut is said that Landing in southern
Arizona will average 100 per cent this
year as against sixty-five per cent last
season, and this is the best percentage
in two years. The winter was extra
mild and sheep came out in fine condi-
tion. The ranges were never in better
condition, and the grass is of excellent
growth thus far this season.
Sheep killing dogs are SO numerous
in many sections of the south. as to
discourage farmers from attempting to.
keep focks, for which they have am
pie range. a bulletin by the govern
ment recently published emphasizes
the value Of Angora goats as a protee-
ton for flocks Of shsep from the raw
ages OF dogs.
An outbreak of cattle poisoning
which occurred in the, Gallatin4 Basin
Montana. and which resulted mi the
death Of forty cattle, was investigated.
It WAS found that the poisoning was
due to the species Of larEspur ,khoym al ID !,
Delphininm glaucum. and that this
plant had been apparently eaten in UNI
usual quantities, on account Of the fact
that othar green forage was covered /,

the weight Of testimony has - our
'oplntSn been clearly against the use
tdf this com6in1t Hon which while fair-s
" ehectise has the draw back Of being
highly detrimental to the wool On the \
other hand there are many who claim a
with good reason that dips of the tar
product variety are positive advan-s
tage to the wool in that they keep It
soft and full Of vigor and when used
after shearing stimulate q rapid and
healthy growth. That noted authority
upon sheep Richard Gibson Of Can,
ada advises that sheep should be
dipped three times year not because
there will be three crops Of ticks. but
because increase Of both wool and
mutton will result. He adds:"A rich
man may discard the use Of dip;
poor man cannot afford to do so" !
In1s is q fair view of the matter and
We are strongly Of the opinion that
any reader Of this paper who has not
made q 1t 9 practice to dip his sheep at
least once year will find it very
profitable practice to follow in the
future. The best time to dip sheep is
Just after shearing In that the dip then
gets into closer contact with the skin
and will therefore prove most effective
both in destroying any ticks that may
be present, curing skin trouble which
may be h the incipient stage and in
stimulating fresh growth Of healthy,
Long atapled wool At this time too
all OF the young lambs should be
dipped for the reason that the ticks
will have largely migrated to their
tender bodies causing untold misery
and at the same time retarding growth
and health. 1t has further been found
that where sheep and lambs are prop
erly dipped at the season Of the year
indicated that the dip will retain suf-
icient strength for some time to keep
away both CAD fiies-whose larvae en-
ter the nostrils causing the grubs
which later torment the victims and
even lead to fatal results in some in.
stances, and the other common fly
which deposits eggs about the anus
Or in any sores that may exist upon
the body. later producing a crop of
horrid maggots which prove source
OF suffering and emaciation to the
sheep and disgust to the owner.
Viewed from every standpoint we can
think of the dipping of sheep is sem
sible and hygienic.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
From all over Maine Coming to Els

From all over Maine Coming to Ellis
worth In August.
The State convention OF county COM
missioners will be held at the court house
in Ellsworth on Wednesday, August IA.
This convention is the annual meeting
of all the county commissioners in Maine !;
it is held for the purpose OF considering
matters OF business which come before
the several boards in the different coun-
ties.
There are sixteen counties in Maine,
and if each county is represented at this
convention by its full board, the COM
missioners of Hancock county will have
forty five Of their brethren here. Many
of the visiting commissioners will be ac-
companied by their wives.
1t is safe to predict that Ellsworth will
not fail to extend to this distinguished
party the hospitality for which she is ia
nous. And she will do this, not on gen.
eral principles alone, but because She
and all Hancock county besides has g
very kindly feeling for the present board
of county commissioners-John P. Ell
bridge, of Ellsworth, Nahum Hinckley
of Bluehill, and Perry w. Richardson, OF
fremont.
1t is hoped that arrangements can be
made for an excursion to Bar Harbor on
the day following the convention.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Hancock County's First Route--Tren.
ton, Oak Point and Bayside.

Hancock County's First Route-Tren-
ton, Oak Point and Bayside.
The first rural free delivery route to be
established in Hancock county will &C
into operation on Monday, July /, and
will be known as route No. 1. 1t starts at
the posJoffice In Ellsworth, runs out High
street over Beckwith's hill to the post
office in Trenton, near the toll bridge;
thence to Oak Point; thence back to Els
worth, taking in Shady Nook and Bay
side.
The route is 233s miles long; covers an
area of twenty-one square miles and
serves population Of ia. The number of
houses on the route Is 40.
Edward l.. Drummey is the carrier.
The post office at Trenton is retained,
but those at Oak Point, Goose Cove and
Bayside will be discontinued.
The carrier will leave the Ellsworth
postoffice Immediately after the distribu-
tion of the mail in the morning, and will
arrive In Ellsworth in season to connect
with the outgoing evening mails.
The carrier will be supplied with post
age stamps, postal cards, stamped en-
velopes and money order blanks. The
carrier can also register letters and

Every household along the route, in
order to be served by the free delivery
system, must erect at his own expense, a
box Of pattern approved by the govern
ment, and the boxes along the route
must be Of the same pattern.
Boxes cost from 81 so to % each.
After rural free delivery route has been
uniformly equipped with boxes the post
