BLACK ROT CURED.


The Hon. G. w. Koiner, Com
missioner of Agriculture Of Vir
ginia, and Prof. S. B. Hedges, for
merly Pomologist Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, under ex.
President Grover Cleveland, and
now manager of the Virginia State
Test Farm, in SAKE, Charlotte
county, were at the Southern Pines
hotel yesterday. They visited the
Experimental Farm and several
vineyards and expressed them
selves as much pleased and inter
ested in what they saw. Prof.
Heiges is an experimental farmer
of many years experience and is
still president Of the Pennsylva-
MIA Horticultural Society. His at
tention was called to the rot of the
Niagara grapes in this section. Be-
ing asked for his views, he said
that he had managed to eradicate
anthracnose from his grapes in the
following way: The mummifed
punches are removed and burned
as soon as dried up. The leaves
are burned as soon as they drop off.
The reason for burning them is
that they carry the spores which, if
they are allowed to lie on the
ground or hang on the vines, will |
propagate the following year. Then
early IN the spring, before the buds
begin to swell, the vines, the posts
and all wood work is thoroughly
sprayed with a solution of sui phate
of copper in the ratio of Is gallons
Of water to l pound of sulphate of
copper. This solution, however,
cannot be used after the foliage
develops; it must be done while
he vines are in dormant state.
After the foliage develops, the
Bordeaux mixture is used, as often

washed off. He also says that the

BUZZINGS FROM BEEDOM.

The young and unsealed brood
should always occupy the center of the
brood nest.
The best time to improve the bees
by selecting and breeding is early in
the season.
The apiary should be kept neat and
tidy, clear of all kinds of grass, weeds
and rubbish of all kinds.
1t is unwise to draw from moderate
ly strong stocks too early in the sea-
son to strengthen weak ones.
In spreading brood combs and in
serting empty combs. care must be
taken not to spread too rapidly.
In order to obtain the greatest
amount of honey swarming or increase
must be controlled to some extent.
The principal objection to clipping
the wings of the queen to prevent
swarming is the liability of losing the
queen.
Bees must have plenty of water con-
venient. In the spring if little salt
is added all the better. A salt barrel
with water in it will do.
So far as can be done it will be found
very desirable to keep each variety
of honey separate when it is stored
throughout the season.-National Ru-

CROPS FOR POULTRY.
There Is Still Time to Put Them In
and 1t VIII De q Good Invest
ment to Do 1t.

Where poultry is raised in large num-
bers on the so-called poultry farms it
will pay well to put IN special crops to
supply the required green food. Plen-
ty of green's are essential in late fall
and during winter, if best egg results
are to be ATTAINED. There are num-
Der of things that are suitable to plant
for the purpose. If there is field
that the fowls can have access to dur
ing winter-that is, if it is located
near enough to their quarters-crim-
son clover planted about the middle
of August will make splendid win
ter pasture and will supply required
nitrogen for egg-making to form a
balanced ration with other food given.
in May or before with great benefit to
the land, so the crop can be made to
serve q double purpose. Rye can be
used in the same way, but it is not con-
sidered as valuable for either purpose
as the crimson clover. OF the root
crops mangles are excellent, as they
can be used for green's and may also be
boiled and utilized to mix with the
regular morning meal. Turnips and
rutabagas are also good poultry
crops. If the turnips are planted
near the henhouse it is good plan to
leave some of the turnips in the
ground. The hens will take great de-
light on favorable winter days in pick
ing at them, and the exercise will do
them good. Farmers who do much
truck gardening have considerable
waste that is not marketable that
could be used in the poultry yard with
much profit. Poultry that are sup
piled during winter with an allow
ance of bulky green food do much
better than when the diet is mainly
grain. In fact, the aim should always
be at all seasons to provide the flock
each day with bulky food of some
kind. Close observation will show
that hens confined to a limited space
are always eager for bulky food. They
viii eat dry shattered clover tops and
sometimes dry grassravenously. There
is plenty of time to put in poultry
crops, and it will be good investment
to do it.-Baltimore Sun.

PeafowIs Around the Farm.

Peafowls are not only ornamental
but excellent for the table. They are
slow in reaching maturity, and the hen
seldom lays before she is two years
old. The chicks, however, grow very
rapidly at first, but as they begin to
feather almost at the start of life
they require frequent feeding or they
will perish. They soon begin to fly,
and roost on the highest positions
they can find. The hen lays from ten
to sixteen eggs, according to age and
treatment. The young chicks should
be fed the same as young turkeys, but
meat, finely chopped, should be given
three times a week after the first
week. The male is d quarrelsome bird
in the barnyard, and often makes
short work of young chicks. They
are more ornamental than profitable,
though the tail feathers may be pulled
for sale as soon as the moulting season
begins. and Farmer.

COOP AND RUN FOR CHICKS.

small slide door is made on one side
of the coop, and the run is placed so
the opening in the side comes oppo-

can be shut in the coop by closing the

move them to fresh ground frequent

they are safe from all animals or what

THE AMERICAN BREEDS.
Many Promising Plymouth Rocks
and WyandOttes Are Positively
Spoiled by Overweight.

Farm-Poultry, an influential Bos-
ton publication, has of late been invit-
ing opinions concerning the proper
weight of the American breeds of
chickens, among which are the Ply
mouth Rocks and the Wyandottes. We
should say that fully two-thirds of
the breeders who have expressed
themselves on the subject take the po-
sition that the standard weight is too
high. 1t is claimed that the medium
sized birds of these families are al
most Invariably better layers than
those which meet the demands of the
standard in regard to weight. One
well-known poultry judge, in his con-
tribution to the discussion, says that
not more than one Plymouth Rock in
IL which pass through his hands at
the shows is up to standard weight. If
the men who patronize the shows meet
with difficulty in getting their birds up
to standard weight, how much more of
a task it must be for farmers who,
as rule, can give but fraction of
their time to the study of the prob
lens of the poultry yard? And if this
heavy weight is obtained at the sacri-
fee of the laying qualities why not
cut it down? Some advertisers take
great pains to haveit known that their
birds are fully up to standard weight.
Farmers should know that they can
easily pay more money for that kind
of Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes
than they are worth.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The translation of the Bible is still
going on. The latest step is to trans
late the Bible INTO the Morocco col
loquial.
In Strassburg and other German
cities dentists have been officially ap-
pointed for the public schools. In
some parts of Bavaria 90 per cent. of
school children were found to have
carious teeth.
South Dakota has passed a law that
kindness to animals shall be taught
to school children, and that no ex-
pertinent upon live animals shall be
made in the public schools. South
Dakota is the fourth state to enact
such legislation.
In 1868 three Quakers of the name
of Holden, Copeland and Rouse were
deprived of their right ear by the
Boston hangmen in pursuance OF
sentence of the court against the
Quakers, and four people suffered
the penalty of death in 1860 for the
same offense.
The gifts of the Presbyterians for
all purposes amounted last year to
more than $15,O0O,000. They closed
the year with their missionary treas
uries free from indebtedness. Their
twentieth century fund, to be applied
to different branches of church work,
has risen above $3,50O,00O.
An advance step in recognition OF
the Importance of the teaching func-
ton of the ministry, both in personal
work and in oversight to others, has
been taken by Hartford theological
seminary. Courses designed to teach
the psychology of education with
normal Bible and Sunday school
classes, held; in connection with the
teaching, will be provided.
Maryville college has ceased to be
a place where negroes may be edu-
Gated, the recent law passed by the
Tennessee legislature having been &C
cepted by the directors without a
contest. The directors will pay the
interest on an endowment of $4,000

negroes be admitted to the Swift
Memorial college at Rogersville, q
school for negroes only.
