preparation. The method adopt
ed, Ii accordance With the attor-
ney general g opinion, did not pro-
vide for return of this amount
to the bonded debts fund.
Noting this fact, wrote to Gov
ernor Gambler and to the Atlanta
Constitution stating that / believ-
ed that the supreme court would
declare the appropriation uncon-
stitutional if it went through in
the form proposed, and suggesting
that the money belonging to the
fund be borrowed (stating it in
the act) to be returned when other
revenue comes in. j used, as an
argument, the statement that the
Identical note and dollars arising
from the sale of public property
were not contemplated by the con-
stitution with which to pay bond
ed debts, but that in fact, these
funds were loaned to repositories.
The Constitution did not publish
my letter.
The attorney general now de-
livers an opinion in which he takes
this view, using the same argu-
ments that / used to the Consti-
tuition. This opinion arises out
of the proposition to use the bond
ed debts fund to pay public school
teachers.
Treasurer Park declares that he
will not disburse from this source
for the purpose, notwithstanding
the attorney generals opinion,
and state school commissioner
Glenn, it is said, will bring man
damus against him to compel him
to do so. The question will prob
ably be decided by the supreme
court. Is not this plan by which
to pave the way, if the supreme
court sustains the attorney gem
eral, for further agitation of the
passenger station question before
the Legislature? The strength of
the opposition last time lay in the
alleged unc0nstitutionality of the

The American linden, or Eastwood,
as some call it, Is first class honey
bearing tree, says Farm, Field and
Fireside. 1t Is something of the nature
of the maple or the sugar bush, but Is
perhaps much harder than either. 1t
grows to an immense size, makes the
most beautiful shade tree and Is very
valuable for its timber owing to the
wilderness and fineness of the grain of
the wood. 1t would seem that this
wood would be an improvement over
the maple so extensively grown. There
is no doubt Of the superiority of this
over the maple in hardness, and as an
ornamental tree for shade it certainly
exceeds the maple. The limbs and
foliage of the linden grow more COM
pact when grown out In the open
ground and thus less liable to be dam
aged by the winds. Almost all nursery
men handle them, but their introduce
ton in the western states seems to be
slow, possibly from their unknown val
ue. Catalpa Is another good honey
bearing tree and comes in good time
just little ahead of the linden. Both
of these trees furnish a good quality
Of honey, but the linden is rather the
best and indeed Is perhaps the second
best from clovers. Catalpa is extern
sively grown in the west and Is q
great help to the beekeeper.

Good crops Of tobacco are reported

1t Is certain that the potato crop will

Country Gentleman. Late potatoes are

The poorer grades Of apples will help
to satisfy the demands of the evaporat-
Ing plants this season.
The onion crop Is not full one. and
conditions seem to favor comparative
ly high prices, according to American
Agriculturist.
Lining the soil intended for beets,
preferably in the fall. the application
of acid phosphate and Thomas Stag
with the seed and the treatment of the
beet seed itself with fungicidal sub
stances are suggested by the station for
root blight and heart rot.

Perhaps Your Pastures Need Help.

The severe drought has been hard on
pastures, both on account of lack Of
moisture and on account of Overstock-
ing. The sod is killed out in places,
and weeds will come in. The lifetime
of these pastures could be prolonged
by some attention right now. The best
way to control weeds is to crowd them
out, and there is no better plant than
timothy to do this with until better
pasture grasses can get new foothold.
In September, no matter if the wealth
err is q V, grain drill with sharp hoes
should be run over all thin patches in
the pasture, distributing One-fourth to
one-third of bushel Of timothy seed
an acre in connection with 200 pounds
an acre of high grade acid phosphate.
The drill holes will cut the thin sod so
that some of the seed will find fresh
soil for starting when the fall rains
come, and the trash of the old sod will
furnish some winter protection to the
new plants. If some stable manure can
be spared for light top dressing, 1t
will pay well in making a sod that will
choke out the weeds. We expect too
much of our pastures and help them
too little, says a Farm and Fireside
writer

AS to the value of diamonds, per-
fectly white stones or decided tints Of
red, rose, green or blue are most high
ly priced. Fine cinnamon and salm-
on or brown, black or yellow stones
also are esteemed. If fawless and
without tint of any kind, they are
termed first water. If they possess a
steely blue color, at times almost
opalescent, they are called blue white.
Such are usually Brazilian stones Ex-
ceptionally perfect stones are termed
gems, and for such there Is no fixed
value, the price depending on the puri-
ty and the brilliancy of the stone. The
term first water varies in meaning, ac-
cording to the class of goods carried by
the dealer using it.
1t Is impossible to estimate the value
Of diamond by its weight. Color,
brilliancy, cut and general perfection
of the stone all are to be taken into
account. OF two stones, both flawless
and weighing ten carats, one may be
worth 5000 and the other $4,000. Ex~
ceptional stones often bring special
prices. of color or imperfect stones
sell at an average price per carat re-
gardless of size.

OIL For Dusty ROads.

For several years oil has been used in
southern California to lay the dust
in the streets In summer and on the
roads in the country. There oil has
long ago ceased to be an experiment
as a dust layer. and the people say 1t
is a splendid roadmaker. When the
oil first touched the dust covered street.
1t spread out among the tiny atoms
pretty much as does a drop of oil pre-
ciptated to the surface of water in a
bucket. When a quantity of oil has
been spread and the surface of the
street is covered. the oil gravitates
down through the dust and dirt and
solidifies or cakes the entire surface of
the street. The sun dries out and hard
ems the surface. and a splendid road
Is the result, almost as hard as asphalt,
ond with all the dust and dirt impris-
oned under the hard upper crust made
by the hardening Of the oil soaked top

Care In Making Axes.

An AK is subject to rigid tests before
it Is pronounced perfect. The steel must
be Of the required temper, the weight
Of all axes of the same size must be
uniform, all must be ground alike and
in various other ways conform to an es-
tablished standard. The inspector who
tests the quality of the steel does so by
hammering the blade and striking the
edge to ascertain whether it be too
brittle or not. An ak that breaks dur
ing the test Is thrown aside to be made
over. Before the material of an ak Is in
the proper shape it has been heated five
times, including the tempering process;
and the ak when completed has passed
through the hands of about 40 work
men, each Of whom has done something
toward perfecting 1t. After passing in

through Greenwich and the surround
ing districts, down to Bay Side and up
and out to Roadstown, Bridgeton and
Salem.
Driving, cycling and automobilng
tourists who return from their outings
on the Jersey pixies this summer are
unusually enthusiastic In their praises
Of these shell roads.
The process of constructing these
roads Is Of special interest because of
its simplicity. There Is no expense Of
digging out the roadbed and filling In
first with large stones and then with a
smoother top dressing as In the con-
struction Of a macadamized road. The
shells are simply unloaded from the
boats and are then carted out along the
roads until q hollow Is found or any
spot that needs repairing and are then
unceremoniously dumped and left with
out any process of pounding or smooth
ing until broken up and leveled off by
the passing carriages and farm wag-
ons.
In constructing shell road from the
beginning load after load of the oyster
shells are dumped in an irregular bank
all along the center Of the roadway;
then with a road scraper a bank Of
earth is thrown up along the edge to
keep the shells from scattering. This
leaves a narrow smooth space over
which the scraper has passed along the
edge of the bank Of shells, and as this
Is used for driving as long as the
weather is dry it would seem that the
bank of sharp shells would never be
driven into smooth waite firmness. But
wait until there is heavy storm and
the smooth road ut the side becomes a
mass Of heavy mud and sand; then the
rough shell bank Is gladly mounted,
and. although it is decidedly rough at
first, the heavy country driving and
carting Of farming produce soon crush
the shells and force them into the
rain soaked soil beneath. A second or
third banking Of the shells, scattering
them farther over the sides Of the road
bed each time, with this process re-
peated, forms a roadbed that Is hard
and firm to the depth Of foot or more
and beautifully smooth and white.

How Fortress Monroe Was Built.

The manner of constructing the fort
at Old Point Comfort Is interesting
and throws some light on customs and
practices then in vogue. The work was
almost wholly done by slaves who were
brought to the place by their masters
and leased to the engineers in charge.
The slave owner received so cents
day for each slave, and the government
furnished each "laborer" as the slave
was called, with two suits of working
clothes, pair or two of Shoes ratlons.
quarters and occasionally a little tobac-
co. The "laborers" worked with very
little clothes and generally without
shoes. They lived in barracks and were
subject to kind Of military discipline.
The owners were regular in coming in
to collect the hire for their slaves, from
which we may infer that the "constitu-
ents" of those days knew how to appre-
ciate a good thing to degree worthy
Of the present generation.-Leslie's

Building Earth RoadA.

OF course the hills should be cut
down and the hollows filled up as far
as practicable. Ordinarily and proper
ly the road when first opened runs
down into the hollows and up over the
hills. and, as time or money is avail
able, the high places are cut down and
the low ones filed up. The effect of a
steep hill in limiting the amount that
can be hauled over road Is so appar-
ent to those who use and care for the
road that local authorities can be trust
ed to make all reasonable improve
ments in this line. However. 1t may
be well to mention that the more the
surface is improved the more the
grades should be reduced. This needs
no argument.
