ImproNing the Soil.

Perhaps no discovery has been made
during the century just closed which is
OF more importance to farmers generally
than the fact that leguminous plants not
only draw the most important and ex-
pensive parts of their food from the at
mosphere but have the power to store
away the nitrogen so gathered into the
soil in which they are growing so that
instead of impoyerishing the soil of it's
fertility as do most other plants they
leave 1t richer in the most costly ele-
ment OF plant food. Thus the great prob
lem of quickly and cheaply restoring the
lost fertility to old and worn out soils
has been practically solved, says the
Journal of Agriculture.
Instead of purchasing a costly fertilizer,
rich in nitrogen, It is now found to be
only necessary to apply a cheaper grade,
containing potash, lime and phosphorlc
acid, on which can be grown a heavy
crop of cowpeas, which will complete the
balanced ration by collecting and storing
the more costly element nitrogen, after
which grass and grain crops will make a
heavy growth.
Ordinary grass and grain crops are
very exhausting upon the soil, as they
draw therefrom their entire food sup
ply while the legumes add to the soil
the most Valua Die ana costly element
thus leaving 1t richer instead of poorer
Like some men they leave the earth bet
ter for having lived upon it, At the
same time the leguminous plants make
better hay and grazing than grass plants
The heritage of the iegumes is more sue
culent, more digestble and richer than
that of grasses.
Legumes will grow and thrive upon
soil too poor, or deficient in elements
required, TO produce or support a stand
of grass, and will yield a heavier crop
than most grasses. Nothing but Gus
tom and prejudice favors the continued
growing OF grasses in meadow and pas
ture to the exclusion of cowpeas and
clover"
The legumes make better hay for but
ter cattle than most grasses, but they
are not so acceptable when green as
Bermuda, crabgrass, paspalum and some
others of the grasses.

Killing Ground-Moles. - Ground-moles,
aside from the damage they do to grow
ing plants by lifting or disturbing their
roots, are rather a friend than an enemy
They are insectivorous, and it is in
searching out grubs and cutworms that
they make tunnels These tunnels are
merely traps, into which the worms fall
and are picked up by the mole in his
rounds. Persistent tramping in of his
runs will drive him to parts of the gar
den or lawn where he will do no harm
However, if he must be killed, it can be
easily done Open his tunnel, saturate
some waste with bisulphid of carbon, put
it into the hole. and cover with dirt
The fumes will permeate the whole sys-
tenn of tunnels and kill all animal life
there. Don't poison grain; he won't eat

insect destroyers, can secure their food

hen, and a week after so dong put a
few hens eggs in the nest. as the guinea
eggs require four weeks for incubation
and the others three weeks. When the
brood comes out the young chickens will
obey the hen and the young guineas will
learn from them, growing to maturity
with them, and making the poultry

A FLORIDA KILLING.

Coatsy r. Mckinney was shot and kill
ed by J. Lee Shaw at Worthington
Springs late Thursday afternoon, just as
the immense crowd Of picnickers were
leaving the place for their homes. The
killing grew from remarks made by Shaw
to McKinney's wife a few weeks ago.
When Mckinney saw Shaw he called him
apart from the crowd, and it is presumed,
asked him to explain. Not being satisfied
with the explanation, Mckinney knocked
Shaw down with a pair of metal knuckles.
W hen Shaw got up he was knocked down
again When down the second time, Shaw
drew his pistol, and as he raised from
the ground, caught hold of Mckinney and
began firing. one bah entered McKinney's
head over the right ear, and came out
over the left. Another went through his
throat. Mckinney died seven hours after
being Shot. Both are young white men,
and We're well thought of. Shaw is a sin
gle man. Mckinney leaves wife and
three small children. Mckinney is a ne
phew of ex-State Senator NJ. l.. McKin-
ney of this place. Shaw is under arrest.

BY all means get two or three ewes
already bred and give them the run OF
that foul pasture. Increase this flock by
breeding and purchase if advisable, until
the number is sufficient to keep down
the weeds on a given area.
No farm is properly equipped without
sheep.
Hen Manure should not be permitted to
become very dry, as in that case it will
lose much of it's nitrogen. 1t may be ac-
cumulated in barrels or boxes which
should be covered to prevent the drying
out by the air. Do not mix dry dust
with it. When any kind of manure is
mixed with absolutely dry dust or great
ly diluted with water bacterial and chem
zeal actions are set up that are very
nearly annihilative in their results. A
mean must therefore be followed, and the
manure kept slightly moist and cold. Lit
tie change will then take place In sum-
mer the droppings from the poultry
should be cleaned away often and APP
piled at once to the land. a con-
temporary assigns as one cause of soft
shelled eggs the overlooking of meat.
This may be so but is not probable. At
least few of our poultrymen can be ac-
cused of feeding so much meat that the
ration is overbalanced - Rheu-
matsm in fowls can be to an extent
avoided by giving dry house quarter.

The Delaware grape is rapidly coming
into great prominence in the South as
shipping grape. If indications count for
anything, the Northern market will not
In the future be as scantly supplied with
Delawares as they have been hitherto
The Delaware has been money maker
for the last few years. Though produced
in considerable abundance the prices have
been high on account of an every-increas-
ing demand. There, are, too, large Sec
lions of country where the Delawares DO
not do as we'll and where their cultlva-
tion has been discontinued, their place be-
ing taken by other grapes. The Dela-
ware is par excellence a grape for sandy
soils, and does exceedingly well where
most of the black varieties are worth
less. In North Carolina the two grapes
that are suited to the light pine soils are
the Delawares and the Niagaras. SO good
have been the yields of Delawares, ana
so profitable their sale. that this year
some of te grape growers are grubhing
out their Niagara grapes and putting IN

plan. An officer OF the company said:

versed we would have declared "a per
cent more dividends than we did last

Economic Value of Birds.

The amount of damage done TO various
agricultural crops by insects is start
ling 1t amounts to hundreds of mill
lions of dollars annually, as there is
scarcely an agricultural crop that does
not have its insect enemies. and they
appear to be on the increase. It seems
that many of our insects, since the clear
ing up of the forests, have taken up
new habits and are devouring our crops.
Insects increase very rapidly. II is claim
ed that one individual In five generations
OF the aphides or plant lice may become
the progenitor of six thousand millions.
On single tree $4,000 bark-boring beetles
have been found. II is claimed that 1000
species of insects subsist on the oak. 1t
is said that If It We're not for the insects
natural enemies there would not be liv-
ing plant on the globe. Earth, air and
water are astir with living things; liv-
ing flesh and growing vegetable fibre are
attacked by them. That our song birds
as well as many others, are largely in
sectivorous is a well-known fact, Where

seeds? The amount OF insects. weed seeds
and noxious mammals devoured by the
various kinds of birds annually is sim
ply enormous. one spring the nests OF
the tent caterplllars were quite numerous
in our orchard, the cuckoos came and in
three days time the birds had torn the
nests TO shreds. and the worms that they
did not eat they crushed with their heaks

one spring OF observing a flock Of crows

corn field. and | discovered they were

see the quail perform the same feat. At

chicks She would jump up and strike
punches OF chinch bugs located on corn
stalks, with her wings, and as they fell

them. / have also observed the downy

Yidalia Press: The other day be heard

mill and turpertine operators exhausted
the climber supply and moved away bus
mess would fall of and towns along the
railroad would stop growing This is a
mistaken idea 50 far as the fertile sec
tfons of South Georgia are concerned
The history Of Dodge. Telfair and other
counties where the timber was exhaust

towns. Neither Eastman or McRae be-

timber was cut off and farmers from
Middle Georgia and other less favored
sections began to move in and settle up

fertile and the health OF the country re-
markably good These lands are grad

Naval Vessels for Private Pleasure.

Washington Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
There is one man. however. who is
having much pleasure this summer. His
name is Hackett and he is assistant sec
rotary of the Navy Department. Mr.
Hackett is an accident in the Office he
holds, but that doesn't bother him. When
he thinks the navy yard at Ports mouth,
Va. or the academy at Annapolis needs
inspecting he hears the call of duty.
Whenever he hears that call the captain
of the Dolphin hears command to take
his ship to those places, with the nag Of
the assistant secretary flying at the main
truck-or possibly al the cardboard strake.
Anyhow. the assistant secretary's flag is
hoisted and the Dolphin steams away car
Tying Mr.. Hackett in solitary state. Some
vulgar barbarians intimate that thees
grave official inspections are mere jun
kets, but the records do not support this
assertion. Lieutenant Commander Suth-
erland's log undoubtedly shows that the
assistant secretary really went to Ports
mouth and Annapolis for the purpose of
making inspections. Other barbarians
who have no respect for the dignity of
assistant secretary figure that 1t costs the
government treasury about $40 day for
coal and other extra supplies for these
trips. They also figure that the treasury
would save money by hiring a special
train to carry Mr.. Hackett to these places
Usually an engine and one coach can be
hired at the rate of 81 a mile travelled
for short trips, and 81 a mile If the "Trip
exceeds fifty miles. Annapolis. as the
railroad runs, is about thirty-five miles
from Washington. The cost would. there
fore. be about $40. II takes the Dolphin
about two days to go to Annapolis. so a
round trip costs about $500 not counting
wear and tear on the machinery.

Good words for the berkshire.

Good Words for the berkshire.
To your first question 1 will say that
the Berkshire is my favorite breed, says
a hog-raiser in Dallas (Tex) News. l be-
lieve they are the healthiest hpgs in the
world. They are one of the largest breeds.
They are the oldest breed known. The
quality of their meat cannot be equalled.
They are the best rustlers. They can be
fattened at any age. They are very pro-
life, the sows heavy mixers, and last,
but not least a real pretty Berkshire is
the prettiest thing l ever saw in the shape
of a hog. As to what is the best age to
kill, l should say from 10 to II months
old. Pigs cared for as they should be
weigh from 200 to 800 pounds at that age,
and are pretty size to handle and the
meat easier cured than large ones. This
age and SIZE think, is also the best to
sell where they are intended for pork. In
selling thoroughbred hogs for breeding
purposes it depends a great deal on the
purchaser. l have sold some fine pigs
from three to eight months old that had
been well cared for up to that time that
afterward were allowed to go without any
care, and when they failed to make fine
individuals it was claimed the fault was
in the breeding, when if the same pur-
chaser had bought full grown hog the
both to the seller and buyer,
AS to the best feed for hogs, l believe
that corn is to a hog what meat and
bread is to man. 1 do not mean by
this that you should feed corn and moth
ing but corn. A hog likes variety of
food and to do his best must have it.
A good Bermuda grass pasture with
plenty of fresh water is fine. Sorghum
planted in a convenient place can either
be cut and fed or the hogs can be turned
in on 1t, 1t Is excellent for hogs. There
is nothing that l know of that is as fire
milk for growing pigs-sweet milk,
skinned milk or buttermilk Stops are
good # they are of the right kind, but
do not believe in feeding hogs everything
In the shape of slop because he is a hog.
Corn should be shelled, and / prefer
soaked enough to soften a little. 1t
should be fed in clean troughs and not
thrown on the ground, cob and shuck to-
gether. The grown hogs and pigs should
be fed separately. 1t is an easy matter
the pigs can go In and eat by them
selves. This will save you the sorrow of
seeing many of your pigs crippled and
disfigured by the larger hogs. There
should be kept at all times plenty of
salt, charcoal and ashes where the hogs
can get it whenever they like. They
should have warm beds and good shelter
but never be allowed to lie or sleep in
the dust. My hogs were never bothered
with any disease. and l believe hogs
treated as above will never be trou bled
from that cause.
