I have had quite a good deal of ex-
perience in growing rhubarb from seed
and find that this plan has two ad-
vantages in its favor. says the Eptom-
list. To begin with, it is the cheapest,
the plants when purchased being rath-
er dear nearly always from S150 to
81 per dozen Then when plants are
raised from seed, the ground in which
1t is sown should be made very rich
and the young plants allowed to re-
main without transplanting. This is
another advantage because it does not
agree with rhubarb to be disturbed
This is contrary to all authorities upon
this subject, but l have tried both
plans. AS soon in spring as the
ground can be worked select a rich,
well drained piece of ground and work
to the depth of one foot or over, using
plenty of we'll rotted manure. In fact,
the soil can scarcely be made too rich.
If possible, use manure which has been
rotted with alternate layers of rich
earth, poultry droppings being best,
but manure from the horse or COW sta
BILE will answer But bear in mind
whatever kind is used, it must be well
rotted
Planting Seed - After the ground
has been, made mellow and
NM, MAJ Jul III three
feet apart and about one inch deep.
Drop the seed into drill five or six
inches apart and two or three seeds in
place, always using the large seeds,
as the small ones are very apt to be
worthless. Cover about one inch deep
and press the earth little over seed.
Cultivate as soon as the plants are well
up but do not stir the ground too close
to the plants, because if it is leosened
too close to them they wilt and will
often die. If the weather is dry it is
well to sprinkle every evening. After
the plants are two or three inches
high, thin out. Keep the ground loose
between the rows. and when plants are
four or five inches high, pull out
plants until remaining ones are at
least two feet apart. If one is not
scarce of ground it is best to have the
plants three feet apart. Now work the
soil around plants. being very careful
not to loosen them. LIQUID manure
poured around the plants once a week
is great help, and one is always more
than repaid for the extra trouble, by
seeing how quickly they will respond
to this treatment. 1t is best not to be-
gin using until the third year, al
though If judgment is used a few OF
the stalks may be pulled the second
Remember this, when rhubarb is weak
ened once by the stalks being pulled
off to frequently or while the plant is
too young, it will never regain its foS-
mer vigor, and therefore is rendered
practically worthless. Remove all reed
shoots as soon as they appear. Wher

take the outer ones

A Question About Oranges and
Penches

e." Savannah. Ga, asks GD What
ever became of the government expert
ment of grating oranges on the Usage
orange stock?-
(2) Gould you give a list of the
peach trees which the Georgia Expert
ment Station recommended for plant
ing in this latitude. Last fall receiv-
ed about 100 seeds of the Indian Blood
peach, and 1 planted them. Have now
forty-odd fine young trees, which
shall transplant next month. Some of
them are nearly four feet high"
Reply.-It was not on the Usage or
ange that the grating was made, but
upon the little hardy orange known as
the Citrus Trifoliate. 1t is common
practice now to so graft, but what the
practical results are to be cannot yet
be determined.
(2) We are not informed as to any
peaches specially indorsed by the ex-
pertinent station as better suited to eX-
IRENE Southern Georgia, but we would
advise a mixture of "Snead" and "Tri-
umph" for early and Stump the
World and the old-time Crawford.
From our knowledge of the results in
Alabama and the characteristics of the
Indian Blood peach we have frequent
ly in past years advised the planting
of seeds of this variety--planting the
seeds right where the tree is to grow.
If the seeds are taken from Seeding
trees the seeds will in narly very in
stance reproduce its kind perfectly. If
properly cared for the trees so planted
will endure for many years. 1t is diff
f1cult to get such seeds as should be
planted though there are points in AL
ALBANIA where they can be procured.
Referring to the first question, we
will at an early daV give a fuller list
of peaches worthy of being planted in
Southern Georgia. There are peaches
now growing in Florida of the "Peen
to- type that would do well in South.
ern Georgia. With peaches it is ques-
ton of soil, rather than of climate. A
sandy soil with no subsoil will not sus-
tain them many years.

you trim wrap trees up in it, and they

sorghum Killing Cattle"

j. R. F., Savannah. Ga: with ref
erence to an article in the News last
week headed Cows Killed by Sorghum,
! will say that 1 have planted Amber
Cane for several years and have fed
it to the cattle in every way-cut green,
cured, and pastured second growth to
their hearts content and have never
noticed any bad effects. l would like
to hear more on this subject, as it
seems rather peculiar that Sorghum
should be so deadly to some cattle and
not injure Others"
AS J. r. F. says: We also have fed
Sorghum in past years and with the
same lack of bad effects. "Gorging" on
any green food, after long abstinence
from it, frequently kills cattle. We no.
tice every now and then a statement
that Sorghum (second crop kills cattle.
1t is a question for the. Experiment
Stations to take up and settle conclu-
sively. We have no doubt Sorghum will
kill under certain conditions. So will

An Old MiIIet.

wonderful, and introduced it to those
who had not known it as Pearl" Mil

The hoe is not the proper thing to do
this. A solution of Copper Sulphate
(blue vitrioD sprinkled freely on the
young weeds and grass will keep the
walk or road as clean as floor.
Fill barrel with water, 80 gallons
say. Then put 10 pounds of blue Wit
riol in any old bag and suspend the
bag just under the surface of the wa
ter. When it becomes dissolved fill a
watering can and proceed to sprinkle
the weeds freely. A copious application
will keep the walk or road clean for
some time.
A less quantity can be made than the

MOCK MARRIAGE AT GEORGIA
NORMAL.

The girls at the Georgia Normal and
Industrial Institute have lots of life in
them, as is evidenced by the recent
mock marriage which they carried off

vannah. Miss Pearla Cox of Ellabelle
and Miss Stella Knight of Valdosta re-
ceived the guests. The bride was CIV
en- away by Miss Lille Walkup of Flor
ida. The ceremony was followed by

given in their honor. Miss Edmund
Strong Middleton of Savannah read
the Episcopal ceremony.

A PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL

To the equipment of the commercial department in Booths Preparatory school has been added recently phon- cgraph from which the pupils take their work in dictation. MT. Booth finds this system admirable as help to the pupils in acquiring speed in stenog- raphy, and the pupils enjoy it thor oughly. No more progressive or up to date school can be found than Booth s Preparatory school. As will be seen in another column, the spring term begins April IS, between which time, and June 30 all requirements for entrance exam ination to Yale will be thoroughly re- viewed.
 Ten skilful teachers are employed, six of whom are college graduates. Nearly all the colleges admit pupils from this school on certificate, which shows an unusual excellence of instruction.
 The instruction given in commercial work is of an unusually high order, combining as it does. educational and practical methods As Is shown by the introduction of the photograph, noth- ing is left undone that serves to per- feet the pupils in their chosen work. A visit to this school will repay anyone interested in thorough, accurate and useful knowledge.

Grand Opera House.

The Grand opera house contained an audience that almost filled the audito- rum and packed completely the two galleries last evening. Lewis Morrison's s Faust was on the boards and the Mephisto of George s. Trimble was ena- inently pictured and most pleasing to the critical eye. Francis Yale as Faust was also very strong. He presented just the type of character that one would expect in jolly, registering stu dent possessing an ardent nature and a warmth of passion. In the third act, where several very touching scenes are shown John A. Rose as valentine, sister of Marguerite, exhibited quail ties that are only to be noted in per sons displaying marked histrionic tai ents. Miss Villa Feour, as the sWeetly innocent and innocently pretty Mar guerite" seemed to be made for that very part. Her acting was exceptional ly effective On the whole the wit and monstrosities of Mephisto, the guiless- ness of Faust, the ardentness Of Valen- tine, coupled with the unique illuninat- ing effects gave the play variety of ac- ton that was continuously interesting. The singing by the Faust quartet was a feature that was, judging by the re- calls, received with great deal Of fa- vor, While Mephisto was or the scene titters were followed by uproarious laughter and hila1iousness was)succeed- a 1,,, lt,ch how intently the audience followed the play.

WONDERFUL SUCCESS or THE
 KRAKAUER PIANO IN NEW HA-
 VEN.
 When MT. Clinton started the piano business in 1893 in very modest way at r Center street and made leader of the Krakauer piano, an instrument, by the way, that had hardly been heard of in our city, many people predicted that he had an up- hill road to travel.
 It is no easy matter to introduce on unknown make of piano in musical city like New Haven, but with this strong combination, a piano like the Krakauer and man like MT. Clinton back of it, there was no chance of a failure.
 MT Clinton never seems to lose his balance but keeps continually working in his modest way, and his reply is all ways the same when we ask him how business is-"Oh, we are doing little all the time"
 Besides the Krakauer, which has be- come such a favorite among the lead- ing musicians who thoroughly know this make, MT. Clinton has several oth- CTS, which he sells, owing to his light expenses and thorough knowledge of the business, at all prices and on the most liberal terms.
 MT. Clinton is in the business to stay, and his guarantee on piano is as good as an insurance policy We are not afraid to advise our readers to see him when in want of anything in the way of a musical instrument.
