Garden and Farm Notes.

Mild weather has been a feature Of
January thus far, and there have been
very few rainy days up to the 23rd Farm
ers and gardeners both have had the best
OF opportunities for blowing and manur-
ing the soil for the crops, that it will soon
be time to plant. The fall-planted crops
have grown right along. and are in a
very tender and succulent condition.
It may be that we are to have mild
winter to the very close. On the other
hand, there is plenty of time yet for a
half dozen blighiing cod waves, that
may destroy everything that is now grow
ing.
Frequently in the past 20 years, our
destructive freezes have come after the
first of February, and in several instances
later even than the 10th of March.
Mild weather in January, such as we
have had this month, offers great temp
tation to venture upon paintings that our
better judgment tells us should be defer
red a month or so at least.
Here in Middle Georgia. the 10th OF
February has been long regarded as the
very earliest period for the planting Of
Irish potatoes with safety. Considerable
risk attends any planting much earlier
than this, but there is little doubt that If
the present mild weather continues for a
week or two longer, many will not be
able to resist the temptation to venture
upon putting in the crop full two weeks
earlier than usual. Two years out of five,
potatoes planted the middle of February
are badly nipped by frost towards the last
of March, or early in April, and this nip
ping never does them any good.

We have mentioned some years ago the
fact that many catalogues varied in the
names they gave to the same variety of
seed, and have suggested that there
should be some attempt made to correct
this fault, and also that of selling several
different kinds under the same name
which last is usually the result of dis
honesty or a carelessness that is but lit
tie short of dishonesty to the buyers We
are pleased to notice that the Department
of Agriculture has begun investiga tin Z
the matter, and Mr.. Tracey, who is in the
seed department, says ne finds in the
many catalogues 692 different cabbages
on their lists, while there are only from
100 to 100 varieties known. also 312 va
rieties of lettuce, while the department
knows of only 81. They have found thus
far, among the beets, beans and cucum-
bers, many kinds that have from two to
six names, and they intend to continue
the investigation, and when it has been
completed, they will publish the results
in a pamphlet, for which we shall look
with much interest. The late DR. F.. l..
Sturtevant began this work while at the
Experiment Station at Geneva, N. Y, but
did not complete it to his own satisfac-
ton before he left there.

Garden Culture of CantaIoupes.

A lady gardener" who Succeeds with
nearly everything that she attempts, has
failed to grow melons as successfully as
she would like" wishes to be told exact
ly how to proceed with the crop, where
there is room for only twenty-five or thir-
ty hills. What variety to plant and how
to manure and cultivate" A rich
garden spot is by no means the best place
10 grow melons to the best satisfaction.
soil rich in vegetable matter and n tro-
gen, is not the best for them for the rea-
son that there is too great a growth of
Vine and insects are more injurious on
such soil always. A sandy soil with not
much vegetable matter in it but rich in
the mineral elements-Potash and phos-
phoric acid-such soil as is best adapt
ed to sweet potatoes is the ideal soil for
melons or cantaloupes.
For Southern use there are no better
varieties than the Rocky Ford and Nixon
and Texas Cannon Ball and Augusta
Market" Any of these will give satisfac-
ton so far as quality is concerned.
Where more than one row is planted in
the garden we believe in giving ample
distance one way and a good deal less the
other. With the rows eight feet apart
a vine can be left every two or three feet
in the row. We much prefer the plan
to the one of having hills equal distance
apart and having two or three vines to
the hill More and finer melons can be
raised by allowing each vine to have
plenty of room to develop in. Where the
rows are wide some upright growing vege-
table can be plant betws en- the rows
of melons-bush beans or garden corn or
okra, for instance. There need be no
waste of ground from having the melon
rows wide apart.
An ounce of seed costing or 10 cents
will easily produce $50 vines.
A tar or camphor bal should be placed
in each hill. This will repel cut worms
and bcrers and other insects.
A sprig of cedar stuck in the ground
close up to the melon vine will also be q
protection from insects.
The cult walton should be very shallow
and sufficient to keep down all weeds.
Do not work the vines or move them
when the dew is on them
| One of the finest earliest melons should
| be left for seed Two or three double
| handfuls of ashes spr nSled about each
vine as soon as it begins to grow will
be helpful. Stable manure should not be
used on melons on any old garden soil

The fact that plum trees always thrive,
bear WELL and that the fruit in uninjured
by the curculio when they stand in a hen
yard, is so well known that we scarcely
need to call attention to it, but not one
half the hen yards that we see have any.
II we had a yarn ten feet square we
would have two plum trees in it, choos-
ing two differ ent varieties, as the plum
is not always self fertiliziig. The chick
ems keep the grass down. so there is no
harbor under the trees for insects, and
If they come from some other place a lit
tie jar of the tree brings them to the
ground, and the fowl bury them in their
crops, where they havet no resurrection.
AS to varieties of plums, If there is any
kind known to do well in that section,
and to be free from rot or mildew and
from black knot, get 1t. If not. try some
of the Burbank or the Abundance. both
of which seem to have proven good in
many localities and on many different
soils.

AN OBJECT OF CHARITY.
How w. s. Cooper Came to Savannah
in n Dying Condition.

Macon, Jan. 26.-Editor Morning News:
My attention has been called to an arti-
Gle in the Morning News stating that
Mr.. Cooper from Macon was found upon
the streets of Savannah in a dying con-
dition and was taken to the Park View
Sanitarium for medical treatment, also
to letter from citizen Of Savannah ex-
pressing Indignation that the city of Ma
~On should dump upon Savannah pitt
able object of charity in a dying condi-
don, without friends and money.
In behalf of the people of Macon, and
more especially the T. p. A s, l have been
requested to briefly state the facts. Mr..
Cooper is a native Albanian, an ex-
travelling salesman, who followed his avo-
cation long as his health would per-
NIT. He is now dying with consumption.
He came to Macon for medical treat
ment about six weeks ago, without money
friends or kindred. The hospitals here
could not receive him, but he was taken
in charge by Dr. Pinson. pastor of Null
berry Street Methodist Church, and cared
for at his residence about a week. He
was then taken in hand by the members
Of Post d, T. z. A., although not a men,
Der of this organization. He was board
ed at hotel five weeks. and given the
necessary medical attention and every
comfort possible at an expense TO the
| travelling men of Macon of about $3.50.
A few days ago Mr.. Cooper against
the protest of the Macon people, ex-
| pressed a determination to go to Savan-
nah before he died to see his wife, whom
ne believed 10 be there.
He left for Swami h after being p.o-
vided with ticket and a small amount
of money to def ay his tray cling ex-
penses.
The travelling men Of Macon, who have
been so considerate OF Mr.. Cooper's well
tare during his lness here. say tn At
while he has no claim upon them vet
recognizing his absolute need and pit able
condition, they are willing to continue to
pay his exp nsss i'm SaVan. an ii nee s
sary / have assured them that the peo-
pie of Savannah are as charitaoly in
clined as the people of Macon ana that
when Mr., Coopefs case is properly I'M
derstood he VII suffer no lack Of atten-
ton. Indeed / am persuaded that he has
been properly cared tor up to this time
l Gm not prepa. ed to say how worthy
Mr.. Cooper is. / learn that he is the
brother of a Methodist minister. But
worthy or unwo ty he is nole the less
an object of Oh ty. He is in a de-
plorable condition with only few days
to live. and ! feel assured that the CT Y
administrator the r. r. AIS and the
good people of Savannah generally wi !
see that he is permitted to de in pc ce,

You will find from that time on they
will require but very little grain. You
do not need running stream OF water
for them. give them plenty of good pure
water to drink and keep them away from

geese left either for market or for feath-

They can be procured at any drug store

gard them as very effective A quarter of
one of these balls (Which are about the
size of small marbles) placed on or near

that infect those plants. They are help
