FOUGHT TWO MEN.
I. F. Doster Yields Stick With
 Telling Effect on Their Heads.


 In the Recorders Court yesterday I. F. Doster, manager for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, with offices on Dex- ter Avenue was dismissed from charge of assault and battery, the charge having resulted from a fierce fight he had on the previous day with J. M. Carrigan and c. H. Henley in his offices. Carra- gan and Henley were fined $2 each by the Recorder.
 Henley, so the testimony revealed, was drinking prior to the fight, and gave the bookkeeper of MT. '~oster $35 to put away in the safe. Later he wanted the money and in company with Carrigan called at the sewing machine office for 1t.
 Mir Doster informed the men that the bookkeeper was out and had the safe key, but that he would attend to the matter later. This satisfied the men for time, but soon they returned and on being informeod that they would have to wait, became boisterous. They were ordered out of the place and then the fight started, during the course of which the manager used a stick. He cracked Henley over the head and belted Carrl- gan in the face with the weapon.
 By this means" he told the Recorder fin his statement, q drove them out of my place"
 The Recorder rendered his decision without hesitation.

 The golf links of the club at Cloverdale are in the pink of condition now and some exceptionally good games are played every. afternoon. 1t Is & nine hole course, | covering nearly two miles around, and the bunkers are all in good shape. There Is a probability of golf tournament between Mobile. Selma and Birmingham being held at Cloverdale in the near fu- ture.
 For several years past the Southern In- terstate Tennis Tournament has been held in Montgomery, and it has inva- riably proved a great success both finan- cially and artistically.
 During the past season the tournament had to be called off as the courts of the Montgomery Tennis, and Golf Club at Cloverdale had Ito be moved. The old courts were regarded as among the fast est in the South and the new ones are said to be as good in every respect as the old ones. ~tt %.s
 The new courts are only few hundred yards from the old ones, and while there are only two courts now yet there Is room for the same number of the old ones four.

The Value OF q Clover Sod.

The report of the weight Of stubble
and roots ON 'clover field after the
last crop had been taken off in the
autumn, as found In the experimental
farm of the late John B. Lawes. at
Rothamstead, England, has often been
published, but it has been so long
since we have, seen it that it will
probably be new to many of our read
ers. They found in the ,stubble and
waste on the surface of the ground
1869 pounds per acre. III the first nine
inches below the surface 3017 pounds.
In the next nine inches 275 pounds,
and in the third nine inches 191
pounds, or in all 6152 pounds. Accord
ing to analysis this vegetable matter
would have enough phosphoric acid
for more than two average crops,
enough nitrogen. for. more than four
average crops, and potash enough for
more than six average crops Of wheat.
Thus we can see the value Of clover
sod plowed under for the wheat or
corn crop. If the clover. which pro-
duced 5Ooepounds of.has to the acre,
had been plowed In that would have
added 10S pounds Of nitrogen, %
pounds Of phosphoric acid, 81 1-2
pounds Of potash. 96 pounds Of lime
and "a IL pounds of magnesia, but
it would certainly be more profitable
to feed out the clover to animals and
save their, .excrements to use on the
land.-American Cultivator.

The Solids in the MIX.


Although the law may fix a mini
mum percentage Of solids in the milk
sold in market, yet milk varies accord
ing to the kind of COWS and the food
and water allowed. 1t is possible to
water milk through the COW, and the
milk from one cow will vary day after
day. The highest percent of solids in
milk found in England when tests
were made was 14.49 and the lowest
was 11.o2. The proportion Of fat
ranged from 2.20 to 4.S5 percent, show
ing that some of the milk was more
than twice as rich in cream as others.
In the United States the percentage
of both solids and fat have been
greater where tests have been made.

pecadence OF an Cvercoat.

'Where do the old overcoats go?" Is
q query that is natural successor to
the old riddle, Where do the flies 60
in winter!" The old overcoats seem
somehow to fade away, no one knows
just how. The overcoat starts its
career on the back OF its owner who
paid S45 for it. It keeps him warm
and shelters him from cold winds and
from storms until it commences to get
frayed ct the edges and the pockets
ere torn down the sides. Then the
owner uses the coat for rainy days
only, and no more does he take it to
call on his fiancee Or to recline on the
back of chair while he IS reading at
the club. He keeps it another sum-
mer and the moths get into it, and
when he takes it out in the fall it has
holes here and there.
So the owner gives it to the janitor
ii the janiter is not cold, naughty
man, and the janitor wears it awhile
until his wife gives it to the tramp
who wheeled out the three barrels Of
ashes. The tramp wears it until the
old coat commences to fall apart. Then
he gives it to another tramp, and it
falls apart still more. And then, some
day, the coat has entirely disappeared.
No one knows how or when. The coat
just simply faded away. That's all
ANYBODY knows about it.-Chicago Tri-

Automobiles in the Army.

Indications continue to multiply
that automobiles may be made ex-
tremely serviceable in war. The ex-
periments conducted during the past
three years by the military bureau OF
several nations prove that, In
numerous ways, the self-propelled
vehicles are superior to those drawn
by horses and that hereafter they will
constitute part of their armies
equipment. The saving of time in
Transportation is matter Of impor-
tance, and here the value OF automo-
biles is greatest. For the purpose of
conveying orders, transporting troops,
provisions, artillery and ammunition,
and for Fastening the removal of
wounded soldiers to hospitals the
value of the new machine appears to
be pretty thoroughly established.
In Germany, particularly, the adapt
ability of motor wagons to the re-
ouirements of the battlefield has re-
ceiYed very close attention. That
government has recently purchased
seven automobiles for transporting
food and ammunition. and in the last
few years has experimental with the
horseless vehicles extensively. The
scarcity of horses in Italy is one of
the reasons assigned for the war de-
partment's employing automobiles
there to assist in carrying material
from one place. to another. In the
Belgian Congo state, wherever trans
portation BY water is difficult, the
self-moving carriage will be used in
place of boats, and regular automo-
bile routs will be laid out.
Throughout the civilized world the
ability of the automobile for quick
travel is being recognized by military
authorities. Not month passes,
moreover, that does not mark it's i'm
provement and development in one
respect or another.-New York Sun.

frozen, then take it to the cellar, bank

Hens Stop Laying.

There is some cause why hens sud-
denly stop laying, though certainly
not always a lack Of food, as the
cessation may happen in single day.
Neither Is It due to disease. as the
hens may be very healthy. It is moth
ing more nor. less than a lack OF
warmth, the heat produced from food
being necessary to keep up the AMI
NAL heat. leaving nothing toward the
production of eggs.
A certain amount Of heat is due
the body Of the fowl and should the
building not be sufficiently warm,
then that food which should go toward
producing eggs is devoted toward sup
plying heat for the body.
One cold night with insufficient pro-
lection for the hens will stop their
laying for fully week, this occasion
ing loss far greater in the end than
would have been the cost Of warm
building. -t@ ...
: Don't neglect the hens in winter If
you expect to have them lay eggs.
Watch carefully for each sudden
change in the weather and change
the house accordingly. During the
day keep the hens hustling. from day
light till dark and the cold will have
no effect on the egg supply.
Let the morning feed be very light,
only one-third of a full meal, then it
will not be difficult to keep them
busy.-Home and Farm. 3

To Kill Weeds.

It is not quite safe to plunge into
the use of chemicals for the destruction
of weeds. 1t is possible to do more
harm than good. We have known some
fine trees, vines and shrubs to be killed
by the careless use even Of kerosene
and Of common salt. Mr.. L. R. Jones
names some solutions, with directions
as to the strength and use. that are
worth preserving. I'm fields" he says,
weeds can usually be killed more
cheaply by cultivation or digging, and
>chemicles used in sufficient amount
to destroy the weeds are liable to in
jure the grain. An exception to this
lies in the use of blue vitriol to de-
stroy kale in grain fields. 1t is said
that a 3 percent solution OF blue
vitriol in water sprayed over a weedy
grain field will kill the kale without
injury to the grain. We have not
tested this ourselves as yet, but pro-
pose to do so this summer. The hawk
weed or paint-brush may form another
noteworthy exception, since it is
readily killed by sprinkling with salt
in an amount which does not in
lure the grass. In general we advise
cultivation to destroy the hawkweed,
however. ::
Chemicals may be used most advan-
tageously in gravel walks, drives, ten
mis- courts, paved cutters and similar
places. Common salt. applied dry, can
be used for the purpose, but it requires
so heavy an application that it is liable
to wash into and injure adjacent grass
borders. Either of the following solu-
tions are more effective than salt,
more enduring in their action and do
not wash. They may be applied with
a watering pot attherateof about eight
gallons to the square rod, and one
or at most two such applications dur
ing the season will entirely prevent
weed growth.
(a) Crude carbolic acid, one pint in
four gallons of water. This is very
powerful and quick acting, but not
quite so lasting in effect as the next.
It may be objected to on account Of
odor; this disappears after the first
day, however. (b) Arsenate of soda,
one pound in eight gallons of water.
(c) White arsenic, one pound; wash
ing soda, two pounds; water, nine gal
Ions. Practically the same as (b), less
convenient but little cheaper.-Farm,
Field and FireSide.
