Times-Union and Citizen: on account Of
the many bathers who now take advant-
age Of the surf at Pablo Beach, extra pre-
cautions are being taken by the bathing
company, which has charge of the BUSH

service, has been installed on the beach.
The boat is u light springy craft, built

Thin Versus Thick Corn Planting.
How thick should corn be planted when
it is to be used for ensilage? This ques-
ton is of considerable Importance, as the
thickness of planting has direct bearing
on the yield possible. No absolute rule
can be given that will suit all Soils since
ii Is evident that light and heavy soils
will behave differently, and that difference
of fertilization also has much to do with
the result
At the New Jersey Experiment Station
last year one acre of ground was divided
into one-fourth acre plots and planted
to Southern white corn, June s. The corn
was painted in drills on all the plots, the
drills being three feet and six inches
apart.
Plot l was planted at the rate of six
quarts of corn per acre. The stalks stood
ten inches apart in the drill.
Plot at the rate of five quarts per
acre, the stalks standing twelve inches
apart.
Plot at the rate of four quarts per
acre. with stalks fourteen inches apart.
Plot at the rate of three quarts per
acre, with stalks sixteen inches apart
The results were entirely in favor Of
the thicker paintings The yield of silage
corn on plot l was at the rate of 9.03 tons
per acre; on plot it was at the rate of
7.79 tons per acre; on plot it was at
the rate Of 749 tons to the acre; and on
plot at the rate of 7 As tons per acre.
1t was noticed on plot l, where the
corn was planted the thickest. that 1t
took the moisture from the soil more rap
idly and suffered more from the drought
tEan the other plots. The ears were also
noticeably smaller on plots l and 2, where
the corn was planted thickly than on the
more thinly seeded plots. The experiment
ers express the opinion that the thickest
planting is the most profitable for silage
corn.
We are sure that some of our siloists
will disagree with the above, but know
also that others will sustain the conclu-
sions reached. Some want to grow a good
ly proportion of grain with the stalks and
such will plant at wider distances. On
the other hand, the writer once heard h.
B. Gurler remark that he intended to
plant closer and raise only stalks, finding
1t more profitable to buy the grain needed
than to raise it, taking into consideration
his increasing necessities for silage.

but expensive, far more so than II one
bought commercial fertilizers outright.
Glover has its place in the farm economy,
and II properly used it does well. But
not too much value should be set by It.
II the land is right for clover and one
can get a good stand, It is a cheap fey-
tilizer, and every farmer should make 1t
a point to use 1t. But the cheapness is
one of relative importance, and 1t cannot
be said to be the best and cheapest fer
tilizer even in the majority of cases.
Personally, think cowpeas where they
can be raised, is a cheaper fertilizer. and
likely to give the best all-round salts
faction. We all talked about the value
of clover for this purpose before we knew
much about cowpeas. Now our ideas and
methods are being revolutionized. We
are raising more cowpeas and less clover
proportonately. And yet every now and
then you will hear some farmer say that
cowpeas are now raised in the North by
intelligent farmers. l heard it the other
day from an otherwise good farmer. No,
he was not otherwise a good farmer,
though apparently successful. In the
same breath he said he never raised en-
silage, and didn't think it was much bet
ter for the stock than so much stale
molasses. Now, the opinion of such
man is hardly worth quoting, except to
show that some are so thoroughly OPP
posed to any innovation that they will
shut their eyes to everything modern.
Cowpeas are raised more and more
everey season in the North, and they arc
rapidly becoming the farmers cheap fer
tilizer. They are crowding out clover in
this respect, and they will eventually
make our farming more profitable. Cow
peas furnish nearly twice as much for
age for live stock as clover and when
harvested they leave the field in better
condition for other crops. Moreover, cow
peas will grow on land which is unsuita-
BILE TO clover. and where many grain crops
only sparingly grow. Stock likes cow
peas, and will sometimes eat them in
preference to the best clover hay, and
think they will show up as good results
from any point of view as continuous
food.-W. Z. Edwards, Illinois.

A DESPERATE HORSE THIEF.

Macon Telegraph: Lieut. Murphy and
Officer Ben Dumas succeeded in arresting
a bold horse thief yesterday morning. His
name was Win Banks, and he stole a
horse in Forsyth riding It to Macon. The
negro bad to be shot three times and
dubbed over the head and shoulders be-
fore he would surrender to the officers.
When he was carried into the police sta
ton he made a break for his liberty,
knocked down the sergeant and two Of
ficers and ran into the fire station, where
he was captured by several firemeu. He
was then taken back into the barracks.
and as he was being searched by the
sergeant he made "A second attempt TO
defy the officers, but the billie OF Officer
Dumas and the walking stick of Lieut..
Murphy came in contact with the negros
head and shoulders, and 1t was not long
before he was subdued, and placed behind
the prison bars After Banks had been
conquered, 1t was found that he had been
shot in the thigh. in the abdomen and
through the arm. Five physicians were
summoned, and after dressing his wounds
they pronounced them serious, but not ia

Thursday night and rode 1t into Macon

II is much more healthy than any other
domesticated animal; it does not suffer
from tuberculosis, hence there is no fear
In using its milk for infants; it usually
brings forth two kids each year. and is
cheaply and easily raised and fed. So
1t will be seen that the goat is bound to
have its place in the agricultural
industry of the country, and
already it has taken an important po-
sition in California. Mexico, and south
western section of our country. AT the
present time there Is a widespread de-
sire for information upon this subject
from men who are settling the lands of
Northern Wisconsin and are investigat-
ing the virtues of the goat as a brush
clearer while at the same time breeders
OF Angora goats in other parts of the
country are looking for cheap feed on
rough lands for the maintenance of their
focks for the production of pelts and
mohafr. It can readily be understood
that for poor families settling in wild
districts where COWS cannot well be
kept, and indeed having scant funds for
the purchase of COWS, the goat, capable
of picking up its living, costing but from
Sc to SIS, and producing from two to four
pints of cream-like milk per diem, to say
nothing of valuable mohair and tender
kid flesh, must be considered a most
suitable and desirable animal So great
has the demand for goats already become
in the West that buyers are now collect
ing large fiocks in California and Mexico
for shipment to Iowa and other states
where dealers have engaged in the goat
supply business and there is good reason
for predicting that for many years to
come there will be real profit in the bus
mess of local production of goats, for the
express rates are so high that shipping
from California makes the price of the
animal somewhat too high for the purses
of poor folk. The Angora goat is
strong of constitution and absolutely
healthy, and we consider the business to
have a healthy sensible foundation and
excuse. Taking everything into consider
alton we are therefore free to advise the
breeding of goats on all suitable lands
and think that many farm boy would
find pleasure and profit from embarking
in the business on a small scale. If after
further investigation of the subject he
agrees with us then let him go it!

VIII punIGNoN MAKE THE RACE.

Athens Banner: There has for some
time been much discussion as to whether
or not Hon. Fleming G. duBignon of Sa-
vannah would make the race for Governor
of Georgia next year. The only point of
doubt that seems to exist on this point
has been concerning his state of health,
1t being generally conceded that, if he
should be in sufficient health, he would
make the race Mr.. duBignon made an
address at jefferson, Ga, Thursday, and
by many it was regarded as a test Of
his strength to see whether or not he
would be able to make campaign. He
spoke twenty-six minutes and made
good impression upon the large crowd,
btu there were, according to reports from
those who were present, considerable
signs of physical weakness. 1t may lie
that his health will improve between now
and the time for his race for Governor,
and those who are closest to him politi-
cally believe he will be in the guberna-
torial struggle, If he has the physical
strength to undertake the campaign.
