in the way of a popularity race ever
 offered to Aiabam.ans. Ii will be
 week and week event down the stretcn for final decision Already the racers can hear the cheers of their friends in
 the grand stand, as this or that favor ite gains some vantage In the race. Cheers will continue until the three winners pass under the wire. when the enthusiasm of the multitude will no longer be controlled The masses will rise up as one man. rush to the center of the arena, embrace the victors, and with mighty shouts of joy bear them from the feld for recuperaticn.
 The question still remains as mys- terious as ever: Who has the S00.000 coupons which have failed to material ize at the ballot box? Who is going to turn the trick? Somebody is evil dently preparing to throw bomb into camp. The time Is growing short only one more week. Visions of Buff falo and the Rainbow City will vanish like mist before the early morning sunshine to all but three--just three Montgomeriana can go: just three will win. The contest pot has been stewing and boiling for over four weeks. until the contents have been re- duced to the following combination: Two teachers, two clerks and two po- licemen have arrayed themselves for a mighty struggle.

TREMENDOUS VOTE POLLED
 IN RAINBOW CITY CONTEST

Pbillipc. Mr. W. D. Martin and MT.
 VI. H. Taylor have formed an organi- zation ot brotheriy love for similar purposes. The contest having paired off In this manner for the final. 1t will cause more interest than ever to pc manifested during the closing week. Tn order that there shall be no unfair ness claimed at the finish. the following rule has been adopted by The Adver- tiser contest Department for the pur- pose of bringing about the most fair and unbiased ruling to govern this point: In the first place. the contest will close September 10th, at mid night. No ballots will be received af- ter that hour from any source what ever. No votes will be counted unless filled out properly on q regularly print ed coupon clipped from The Advertiser and deposited in the ballot box before the closing time. A detailed guard will be placed over the ballot box on the last day and remain until Wednesday morning, September il, when the final count will begin. This arrangement is considered necessary on account of the expected heavy vote, which will not permit of careful counting in time for publication September il. and also permits each contestant to have plenty of time to fill out coupons and make deposits of ballots on the final vote.
 This rule will be strictly adhered to and contestants who are not perfectly familiar with the Idea from this state- ment should sec the Contest Editor for personal instructions. There must not be the slightest degree of unfairness in this matter and it is to be hoped none will be attempted.

Washington Post:
 Acres and acres of the suburbs of Cape Town are covered with corrals for the army horses" said Lawrence O.. Munson of South Africa at the Raleigh. "Shiploads of horses and mules have been arriving constantly in the last year or more. but there are frequent reports of a lack of sufficient draught animals for the wagons and mounts for the cavalrymen. An officer told me that over 100000 horses and mules have been used SO far. When the war was yet new and the soldiers were un- familiar with the country and the best methods of keeping together mounts m good condition, the number of horses used up by regiment was astonishing. A peculiar feature of. this. however. was that the animals of the regiments composed of the inferior class of men were killed off much more quickly than those of the picked regiments.

Commenting upon this mans plan,
Rural New Yorker says: Water is very
necessary for the plant babies. In TAX
ing them out the soil was cut into
squares with a sharp knife, and then
the squares were lifted out on a fork,
as shown in the picture. When finally
set in the ground, these squares were
cut again. so that each plant had its
little block of soil. When this is set in
hill and the earth packed up around
it, the plant barely waits an hour in it's
growth. OF course this plan Of ham
ding pays only with the very earliest
plants. Mr.. Hulsart's system aims to
induce earliness and to promote rapid
and vigorous growth, in which 1t Is
most successful.

grinder is illustrated with belt wheel
for power, but if desired crank and
fly wheel may be used and the grinder
operated by hand. The manner of
making the hopper, attaching legs,
braces, etc, is well explained in the
complete illustration. The interior or
main working parts are shown in the
sectional cut. "a" is a triangular
shaped strip of wood extending across
rear side of box, firmly nailed in place
behind the spiked cylinder 3D. which
revolves and does the grinding, and
&C" is another wooden strip having
teeth like the cylinder extending across
front side of box and fitted in grooves
or small strips at ends of hopper in
such a way as to serve as an adjusta-
BILE concave. The cylinder teeth may
be ordinary II penny spikes, the heads
cut off, the remainder of spikes driven
into cylinder, leaving about one-half
inch projecting and the projecting ends
filed sharp, but it will be better to
make teeth of one-Quarter inch square
bar iron cut 23. or 8 inches long, one
end of each tooth f1attened on an anvil,
chisel shape, and cooled while redhot
by immersion in cold salt water. The
other ends of teeth may be cut with a
screw thread and teeth screwed into
the cylinder. leaving one-half an inch
or so of the chisel end projecting. The
distance the cylinder teeth are placed
apart and the position of the movable
concave, the teeth of which should in
tersect those Of the cylinder, will de-
termine degree of fineness to which
the roots may be reduced.

William c. Maybury is now serving his
third term as Mayor of Detroit, Mich.

In the light Of many such public en-

THE SEED BED.
Make IL EARLY For Late Vegetables.
Famous Growers Do This.

Famous Growers DO This.
Contrary to general custom, the seed
bed for late plants should be made as
soon as the soil can be worked to good
advantage, according to advice of
American Agriculturist. Let the soil
be worked until it is as fine as the har-
row or rake can make 1t. Then roll
after which cover to the depth of three
inches with coarse stable manure. This
should be left on until it Is time to
SOW the seed, when it should be care
fully raked off, avoiding breaking the
surface of the soil. Make shallow
trenches for the seed. Sow thinly and
cover the seed with fine sand to the
depth of one-fourth Of an inch.
This is the custom of the best seed
growers on Long Island and is one of
the greatest importance, as the mulch
will not only keep the soil moist. but
the moist, warm air from below will
completely pulverize the small Jumps,
leaving the soil in best possible condi-
ton for plant growth. No matter how
vi y tbS ScoSOh may NC INC sui VIII re-
tain sufficient moisture to carry on
the young plants until they are suffi-
GENTLY large for transplanting
The Importance of preparing the seed
bed in this manner cannot be overesti-
mated. 1t is utterly impossible to Sc
cure a good crop of either cabbage or
cauliflower without good plants, and
this method, barring accident from
insect enemies, will always secure
strong, healthy plants. This was prov
ed conclusively last year when those
who prepared their seed beds in the
usual way lost heavily, both in the
quantity and quality of their plants,
while those who prepared their seed
beds as recommended were invariably
successful.

AT WINTERS WIND UP,
The Prompt and Diligent Bee All
Ready For Spring Work.


Bees begin work much earlier in
spring than the ordinary farmer, and
those who think bees do not require
looking after until warm weather
comes in are very much mistaken
Bees begin to draw pretty heavily on
their stores to feed the brood long be-
fore warm weather makes its appear
ance in spring. If colony succeeds in
building up strong in numbers, it is
necessary that they consume a large
amount of stores.
Bees begin breeding heavily before
they have an opportunity to gather
honey from flowers, and to make
strong profitable colonies they must
have a good supply of reserve stores
In the hive If they are not thus sup
piled, they will certainly fall short Of
making colonies that will produce the
best results during the honey harvest.
However, not all depends upon food.
Plenty of reserve stores and all the
feeding we can do will not make old,
inferior queens lay enough eggs to
produce a good colony, and 1t is only
previous in requeening colonies with
good young queens. 1t seldom pays
to keep a queen more than one year
and not more than two at the best.
Old queens are content with half hive
full Of bees and will make prepare
ton to swarm with these conditions,
and the result is q failure in honey
and in good swarms also.
Colonies are frequently found not on
ly with old, inferior queens thus, but
often with no queen at all at the wind
up Of winter. Such are Of course worth
less unless we can procure queens for
them, which is difficult to do at this
season Of the year. We may save the
bees by uniting them with other colo
MES, and this is the proper thing to
do with them, and the hive with empty
combs or honey should be placed away
securely from robber bees. concludes
