Insecticides.

Suiphur-Sulphur. which is cheap and
safe, will always have a value as a fungi
eide and insecticide. A jar, keg or barrel
of it should be kept in every household.
Bi-Sulphide of Carbon (vapor)-Is a
colorless liquid of very unpleasant odor.
Is very volatile, and it's vapor is fatal to
insects. For some purposes IL is pre-emi-
nent AS in destroying insects that infest
stored grain, and destroying ants and any
underground insects To use it il must
be placed in saucers or pans on piles of
grain. The vapor settles and stiles the
Weevil inside or outside the kernel. The
building must be closed tight as posi-
bic. The vapor is very inhamable and
explosive, and there must be no fire
brought near it. In 50-pound cans it costs
10 cents per pound. 1t must be kept in an
alright vessel. Bean and pea seeds are
easily preserved from weevil by this sub
stance.
Insect Powder'-With the name Blu
hack" Pyethrum or Persian Insect Pow
der. is a most valuable insecticide. It is
destructive of many insects, but perfectly
harmless to human beings and animals.
1t can be used dry or in solution, and is
busted or sprinkied on the insects which
exist on vegetation or inside buildings or
with flies, mosquitoes, fieas, etc. A little
bellows Is used to shoot the dust powder
over or at the insects. 1t costs from % to
80 cents per pound. Should be procured
fresh and preserved in a dry vessel. This
is a vegetable substance, being simply
the pulverized flower heads of d pretty
little sunfiower-like plant. 1t was long a
secret in Persia, but under the name of
Buhack is now extensively grown and
manufactured in California.
Corrosive Sublimate-This dangerous
poison needs to be very carefully kept
and handled. 1t is a specific for potato
scab, a disease that infests, the tubers.
Two ounces of the sublimate is dissolved
in fifteen gallons of water. The potatoes
before being cut are soaked one hour in
the solution. Afterwards they are dried,
cut and planted
Formaiin-This fllngicide and disinfect-
ant derived from Formaldehyde is also
a preventive of potato scab. Formalde-
hyde gas, the result of the partial COM
bustion of methyl alcohol in a special
lamp, is a very valuable disinfectant
fungicide and insecticide. 1t is much
better than sulphur fumes. Formalin is
the commercial form of Formaldehyde
gas, and exists as a 40 per cent. solution
of it,

Nut Growing in Southern Georgia.
The Best Grass for Pastures in
Southern TIorida-some Reliable
Insecticides-A Description of a
Model Garden.
A correspondent at Savannah is con-
templating a venture in nut planting In
Southern Georgia.
He writes to ask where fertile seed of
pecan, black and English walnut and
chestnut can be procured for immediate
planting.
1t is rather late for planting any of
these nuts even if fresh seeds, certain
to grow, were ready to hand. 1t is easy
enough to get pecan Seeds but not so
easy to get fertile seeds of the walnuts
and chestnut.
To insure success in nut planting it
is necessary to procure the seeds fresh in
the faI, and preserve them in moist sand
until January or February, and then
plant them out where they are intended
to grow. 1t is a great gain thus TO have
the nuts in hand as soon as they ma
ture on the trees. Some few weeks
DeLoTe time 10 pant out the sduu or SOil
in which they are preserved over winter,
should be moistened and kept So This is
done with the view of bringing them
nearly to the point of termination. So
when they are planted out they will
sprout and grow without delay. They can
be planted in the fall right from the
tree, but when the seed lay in the ground
ali winter the rats or something else may
destroy them. 1t is best to keep in moist
sand and thus bring them almost to
sprouting.
English walnut seeds, fresh from the
trees, should be procured in the fall FROM
Southern California, where they are ex-
tensively grown.
Black walnut seeds are to be had almost
anywhere in Georgia. if inquiry is made
in due time about the close of summer
They should be kept in the hull and put
away in a box of sand and kept fairly
moist. 1t is safer to plant in hill,
II inches apart, and thin out to one when
two feet high.
This should be done with any kind of
a nut, to insure a stand and avoid trans
planting.
If any reader knows of any one that
can supply English or black walnut
seeds, chestnut and paper shell pecans,
we would be glad to have them advise
us of the fact by postal.

yesterday. 1t was the Tilghmsn Lumber
Company of Norfolk. Va, to the Atlantic

MnuLrRIE,s NEW CENSUS.

MouHrie Observer: Mr.. A. NJ. Davis,
who has been taking a special census of
Moultrie for the benefit of the city off,
Gals, has just about brought his work to
a close. He authorizes the Observer to
say the new census will give Moultrie
5000 inhabitants. The figures are rather
startling inasmuch as the government
census taken last June gave us only 2,2S2.

A RACE ROW AT GEoRGErowN.

A Georgetown special says. There was
a hot fight in the G. and w. shops here
Friday evening. 1t seems that in the
forenoon a small negro boy and a white
youth got into a row and that the white
men understood later that the negroes
proposed to take the matter up on be-
half of the negro and the row was be-
tween the two races. Several were hurt,
but one negro Sam, last name unknown,
is said to have been killed. A sledge ham
mer was buried in his forehead just
above the eye and his neck was crushed.
The police have arrested six men on the
charge of riot end they will be tried. Feel
ing runs pretty high. The negro Sam
seems to have had really less to do with
the row than any one connected with it.

CUT HIS THROAT IN POLICE CELL.

With an ordinary pocket knife, G. Hem
mingway who applied for lodging at the
Charleston police station at 1890 o'clock
Friday morning. committed suicide in a
cell by cutting his jugular vein. The deed
is supposed to have been committed
shortly after the mans entrance to the
cell, though his body, cold and rigid, ly-
ing in a pool of his own blood, was not
discovered until O'Clock Saturday night
For twenty-one hours after the man was
locked In no visit was made to the cell
and then only because its use was need
ed. The man belonged in Georgetown. and
was of respectable appearance. That the
body was not discovered sooner does not
appear to have been the fault of the po-
lice officers as the cell was inspected sew
eral times during the day. Hemingway
had hid himself under the bed, and the
body was not discovered until the cell
was needed for another prisoner Satur-
day night.

Washington Reporter: The killing of
Deputy Marshal Alex Whitley in Lincoln
county was deplorable affair The
comments pro and con of the occurrence
by the people have been many and var
led In this respect. however, we have
been struck with the GOODNESS and indif-
ference with which the killing of an Off
Ger, in the discharge of his duty, has
been treated by a great many Of our peo-
pie. 1t is perfectly natural and we know
that shout of JOY went up from every
lair of blind tigersdom in this section,
when they learned of brave Alex White
ly's death. although caused at the hands
of black man. We say 1t was perfect
ly natural for such sentiment to exist and
we expected to hear it expressed in GER
tain places, but the universal indifference
with which 1t has been accepted appears
strange to us. 1t is true that Mr.. White
ly had his faults Who has not? 1t is
true also that he did NOT fulfill the duties
of his office in a manner very acceptable
TO the people in this community This
derelction, in our opinion, amounted
mostly to the officers leniency in handling
his prisoners and in not arresting GER
tain parties that he knew to be guilty of
the crime of Illicit distilling These facts
and a combination of other circumstances
PROBABLY over which he had no control,
caused these weekly raids to become mere
of a farce that reality. 1t is common
gossip that these raids were made more
to share in the appropriation made ly the
government than to break up the Illicit
distillery of whisky. When a prisoner
reaches Augusta he, is placed under "A
very nominal bond-one that is easily
made and the culprit soon returns to his
lair TO again take up his nefarious prac-
tice. If a conviction is made even for
the fourth of fifth time in the federal
court a small and comparatively insis-
nificant fine is invariably placed upon TIE
prisoner All of these things tended to
cast reproaches upon the work of the Of
fiers and is the cause of SO much in
different sentiment being found in the
sections infested by whisky makers and
sellers. Viewing the circumstances from
every standpoint, we are constrained to
think that the government must handle
the illicit whisky makers with an iron
hand NO quarter must be given or &C
copied If the thing is to be broken up.
When this course is pursued the good
people, the influential people AMI the law
abiding people will assist the govern
ment's agents in breaking up the prac-
tice and an officer will not be snot down
with imcunity with not so much as sim
gle protest going up from the whisky
infested section.

matters, says that from FIVE 20 eight
years will tell the story of the usefulness
of brood SOW. Many persons consider
them old at three or four years, and a
great majority turn off their brood sows
very often as we think to their own loss
at an age considerably younger They
do so lest the meat shall be much dis
counted when 1t goes to the market on
account of the age of the SOW. The age
to which the sow may be profitably kept
will vary with many conditions. If she
breeds but one litter a year. rather than
two, she will breed longer and will pro-
duce better filters than if bred twice a
year. If kept in somewhat uniform con-
dition as to flesh. the brood SOW will re-
tain her breeding powers better than UNI
der opposite conditions. And some sows
having greater individual vigor than 9TH
ers retain their powers longer. No age
can be fixed for turning off a brood sow.
The age at which to dispose of sows can
best be Judged by their failure to breed
as they once did

A rEN-YEAR OLD Tnkrx wREcKER.

John Jackson, a 1C-year-od negro boy
of GlasscocIk county, was arrested Thurs
day and taken 40 Augusta, on the charge
of attempting to wreck train on the Au-
gusta Southern Road, The Tennille News
says: 1t seems that a FISH bar had been
placed between the reils of the track at
Gilmore's, where there is a siding. The
passenger was running very fast when 1t
struck the obstruction and to that fact
alone is ascribed the miraculous escape
from a death-dealing wreck. For two
weeks detectives of tine system have been
on the track of the would-be wrecker. 1t
was unfortunate that it occurred just ef-
ter an unpleasant litigation between Mr.
Gilmore and the road about the killing of
some cattle. The boy has confessed to
placing the bar between the rails, but
claims that he simply put it there to see
how 1t would fit and after getting it there
he could not remove 1t.
