THE NJ, ID. AND S. ROAD.
Important Changes to lie InauRu-
rated shortly,

Dublin, Ga, July 2s.-It is stated up
on reliable authority that on and af-
ter Aug. l the Macon, Dublin and Sa>
vannah Railroad will operate trains in
and out of Macon from the Southern
depot. 1t is also learned from the
same source that all freight for the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah road will
be handled at the Southern freight de-
pot.
Ever since its completion to Macon,
the Macon, Dublin and Savannah road
has maintained it's own depot, both for
freight and passenger traffic. 1t was
located in an out-of- the-way place in
Macon and therefore was inconvenient
to reach. Those having business with
the road are therefore pleased that
there will soon be a change.
Accompanying the report that the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah road win
soon use the terminals of the South
ern road at Macon, is a rumor to the
effect that possibly a close passenger
schedule between the two roads will be
put on. 1t is known that to do this
would be advantageous for beth roads.
Monday afternoon the new steamer
of the Forest and Stream Club will be
launched by Contractor w. w. Ward.
When completed the new steamer will
be one of the fastest and lightest
draught on the Oconee. 1t will be 20
by 100 feet.
Crops in Laurens county have inn
proved wonderfully during the past
few weeks. One farmer, who several
weeks ago thought that his corn crop
would be a failure, stated that next
year he will have corn to sell as usual.
Cotton is also much better than the
farmers though 1t would be. and
IL looks now as II comparatively full
crop will be made. 1t is said that
crops in this county are better than
they are in any of the adjoining coun-
| ties.
Yesterday a meeting of the stock
holders of the Dublin Cotton Mills was
held in the office of the company in the
Henry building. 1t was resolved by
the stockholders to issue bonds in the
| sum of $50,0 An amendment to the
charter of the corporation allowing this
was granted at the last term of the
| Superior Court of Laurens county.

Every Southern gardener and far
mer should save his own seeds of the
principal crops grown by him.
There are some that cannot be saw
ed to advantage, such as cabbage.
beets. onion, satisfy and other roots
celery and perhaps several others, but
there is no reason why those of toma-
toes. corn. peas beans, cucumbers,
squash. eggplant, pepper. okra. mel
ons. should not be saved I'm abundance.
II is all very true that there is an
advantage often times of using seeds
OF these last mentioned obtained from
more northerly localities. but as a rule
il is best TO use our own seeds from
acclimated plants. though something
may be lost in the way OF b rliness.
IL is a very great drain on the
grower TO have TO buy nearly all the
seeds used. II Is always best 10 have
plenty OF seeds.

Varieties of PecanS.

II. M" White Plains. There are
quite a number of distant varieties OF
pecans, but by no means as many as
the named sorts" that may be listed
Bulletin No. 81 of the Florida Expert
ment Station gives a list of seventeen
named sort, but they are hardly so
many distinct varieties. Many of them
no doubt are very much alike in size
shape and flavor of nut and could not
be readily distinguished even by the
most expert. Every propagation gives
his own name to a sort already we'll
named, so there is no end to the crea-
tion of names.
one grower in Florida claims to have
pecan trees thirty to forty years old
that yield from 125 10 500 pounds of
nuts each.
No. they do not bear much of a crop
on trees less than twelve or fifteen
years old. II is misleading to claim
any return from six-year- trees.

we're cases the smaller and sometimes
the larger limbs or even the trunk of
the tree are affected says the Nebras-
ka Farmer 1t is more destructive to
the pear than to the apple.
Causes--It is caused by a minute, sin
gle-celled plant, one of the bacteria.
named bacillus amylovorus. These
germs are exceedingly minute. They
gain entrance in the young and succu-
lent parts of twigs or into the flowers,
increase in number, and destroy the
young growing cells. This disease is
extremely infectious, being carried from
tree to tree by winds and also by in
sects. A rank and succulent growth Of
fers the best condition for the recep-
ton and development of the disease.
Remedies-Spraying has no value.
After the disease is established the
only thing that can be done to the tree
itself is to cut and burn the blighted
twigs, thus removing or lessening the
source of infection. Such treatment
of the ground as will secure a less rank
and a firmer, well-ripened growth is in
the right direction, as lessening the
receptivity of the trees for the germs
of the disease.
Cultivation is a guard against blight.
Such measure Of cultivation as induces
the rankest and most rapid growth, al
50 itdNg VI ildnuIt III 81
far as they increase the rapidity and
ranknesA of growth, conduce to a re-
ceptive condition inviting blight. Prac-
tically in the growing of the apple or
chard the effort should be made to Sc
cure only a fair annual growth, secur-
ing such growth by suitable measure
of culture early in the first two-thirds
of the season, or prior to the first of
August. At this time either SOW cover
crops. like oats, or weeds should be al
lowed TO grow that should absorb sur
face moisture and compel early ripen-
ing of the seasons growth. Coupled
with this should be such location
0hat is, the elevated sites and north
orly slopes are better, and such lack
of windbreak on the north and east as
will allow free circulation of air.
The pear is naturally a more ram
pant grower than the apple, and in
it's cultivation more care is required
to be sure that it does not make rank
growth In the writer's experience
trees that were stimulated with ma
nure and vigorous culture to make a
growth of four or five feet in one sea-
son were usually attacked by blight.
Cultivation should be so slight as to
secure an annual growth not to eX-
coed two feet. Trees may be held in
check by weeds which may be moved,
or the ground may be seeded to clover
or allowed to stand in grass. Pear
trees planted in town can stand on
the border of the lawn, receiving no
cultivation after the first two years.

The plymouth Rock Fowl.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued Bulletin
No. 20 in the Animal Industry Series.
1t is a beautifully illustrated mono
graph on this most excellent breed of
American fowls. The several varieties,
Barred White and Buff, are beautiful
ly portrayed in color. Portraits are
also given of the well-known Domi-
niques and Black Javas, from the
crossing of which resulted the now ia
nous Plymouth Rocks.
There is no question that there is
any single breed of fowls that com
bine so much excellence as this breed
of American fowls. More money is
probably invested in them in this
country than all the other breeds to-
gether. Any one interested in the sub
ject can procure the bulletin by apply
ing to the Department at Washington.

C. p. r., Tibet, Ga: Il would like
to learn through the News how and in
what way l could make it profitable
having a stock of hens for the produc-
ton of eggs. How should they be fed?
What proportion of cocks to hens? 1
have been a reader of the Weekly
News for three years.
In reply to &c. P. r." we must say
that there is very little profit in rails
ing eggs for market-so little that IT
is not worth any mans individual at
tention. A little pin" money may be
gained by the country wife by keeping
hens for eggs but it is rarely worth
a mans attention.
In the aggregate the poultry business
appears very large but the only people
who make money out of it are those
who raise fancy poultry and who pro-
cure fancy prices for eggs and for
fowls for breeding purposes. The
country over there are a great many
engaged in this business and very
many of them derive a good profit
from it.
OF course every person who lives in
the country and has sufficient range
should keep more or less poultry and
raise eggs and chickens for their own
use primarily, selling whatever sur
plus beyond home needs.
Where only eggs are the object there
is no need for keeping many cocks in
a flock of 100 bends. Three or four to
the hundred will be sufficient. To in
sure eggs that would be fertile there
would have to be more than this. Some
hold that where hens are kept only for
eggs there is no need for any cocks
but we are quite sure it is an advan-
tage to have a few if only to keep
the hens from straying off.
On the egg farm cleanliness, plenty
of pure water, proper food for egg
making and a fair range are the con-
ditions of success
No insects must be allowed to get a
hold upon the fowls. Have plenty of
bNSto III WHICH JhL a llAAlt sulphur VI
a camphor ball or so every once in a
while.
Give water in iron vessels.
Wheat. rye and oats are better for
food than corn.
When corn is fed never allow the
fowls as much as they would eat. 1t
pays to parch this corn.
When corn is used give some wheat
bran at least once a day. Wet the bran
thoroughly but not to make it into a
mush.
Some green or succulent food is es-
sential. Fowls that range will get this
and besides large number of insects,
all of which is egg making food. 1t
will also pay to keep the hens supplied
with ground raw bone, placing a box
Of it where It will keep dry and clean
and the fowls can pick it as it may be
wanted. 1t will even pay to buy grit
for laying fowls unless the range Is
very large and no part of this range
plowed up occasionally. oyster shells
broken up finely and scattered freely
about answer good purpose.
1t is very important TO have the ut
most cleanliness about the fowls 1t is
much easier to keep off disease than to
cure it always. A very excellent jour
nal devoted to the business is Farm
Poultry, Boston Mass 1t is well worth
the dollar to any poultry keeper.

AN INSANITY TRUST.
Seventy-nine Secretly Accused by
Parties Who Divide the Fees.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Indianapolis, July 26.-Deputy Attor-
ney- General Hadley, who has been
making an investigation of the insan-
ity records, to-day submitted to At
torney-General Taylor his report. He
found that dispensary doctors entered
into a pool, by which the fees due the
individual doctors were divided pro
rata among them all.
The Attorney General in submitting
report tonight to the Governor and
Board of Health said:
This report, If true shows an utter.
wanton. reckless. criminal disregard OF
the rights of the citizen and a wilful
violation of not only the letter but the
spirit of the laws of Indiana.
I'm the year 1900 and the first ive
months and half of this year the en-
ployes of the city dispensary alone
have wrongfully accused seventy-nine
persons of being insane in this city,
few if any of whom have any knowl-
edge whatever of such a charge"
The pool consisted of employees OF
the city dispensary and others. Hun
dreds of affidavits have been filed by
that department at the police station
and city hospital.
When an affidavit was filed by the
employees of either of the departments
the attending physician and the exam
ming physician were physicians pc
longing to that department, and the
records show that 1t was common lot
the matron or ambulance driver at the
city dispensary or one of the matrons
at the police station or one OF the
nurses at the City Hospital to MAKE
an affidavit that a party was insete
and then have two physicians belong
ing to the same department follow TINS
affidavit with medical opinions that the
subject was not insane, leading TO the
Inevitable conclusion that the afhaht
either knew or could have known Wha'
would be the result OF the invesusa
ton before the affidavit was nled anu
that the county could have saved VI
expense OF any investigation II tne
afiant had so desired.
Where the affiant was an empioye -

BUYING UP ALL THE OIL MILLS.

Florence Times: Speculation as to
the disposition of the Florence Cotton
seed Oil Mill has been brought to an
end. 1t has passed into the hands of
the Virginia Carolina Chemical Com
pany. What the upset price was is not
known, but assurances have been given
that II was a snug sum. The formal
transfer of the mill was made in CO.
lumbus Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Eve,
the superintendent of the MILL has been
appointed manager. The mill will be
considerably enlarged and improved,
and will be operated on more extern
sive scale. The oil mills now owned
by the Virginia-Carolina Chemical
Company will be operated under the
name of Southern Cotton Oil Com
pany," which was recently gobbled up
by the trust Independent mills are
fast succumbing to the tempting Of
fers made by the trust. The Newberry
mill was bought a few days ago. 1t
is stated that by the time the season
opens few independent mills will exist
in this state. Mr.. c. S. Mccullough

COLaUITT's WOOL CROP SOLD.

Moultrie Observer: The major por-
ton of Colquitt's wool crop was sold
this week. Morris Mayor of Albany
bought the Norman, Monk and Murphy
wool, amounting to about forty bales,
while Mr.. j. j. Battle of Moultrie
bought the Suber. Hancock and Horne
clip-about thirty bales. The former
lot sold at Is cents for the white and
IL cents for the black. In tot-l the
sales of the week amounted to about
10000 pounds. and the gross receipts
were something like $1,000. 1t puts
neat sum in the pockets of the wool
growers.
The crop is considerably off from
that of last year, and the price, too.
The same people sold $4,000 pounds last
year and received $4,000 for it, or near
ly so much. The price is off or IS
cents. and the turnout per sheep was
not so much as last year. And there
is said to have done more damage
done by dogs the last season than ever
before. One grower told the Observer
that the dogs had killed 900 head for
him since last shearing time. Notwith-
standing the shortage the receipts
from the wool crop will increase the
money circulation largely.

THE SHOOTER GOT SHOT.

At Cedar Bluff, Ala, an active little
business center near Rome, last Fri
day, William Wood, we'll known
young man about town, was shot by
lack Boggan, the mail transfer man,
with shotgun. Wood was struck in
the back of the neck and head, and is
seriously hurt. The trouble was caused
by Boggan, who charged Wood with
having circulated reports concerning
his daughter. Boggan is a one-armed
man, but his aim was true. Wood re-
ceived the full charge from the gun.
After the shooting Boggan. while in
the presence of Postmaster Sloan, used
some very strong language in connect
ion with the affair. Bad feeling has
long existed between the TWO men, and
Postmaster Sloan took exception to
some of the remarks. Seeing Boggan
was armed. he drew his pistol, firing
six times at Began. One shot struck
the latter in the arm, causing a wound
which may necessitate amputation of
the limb. SHOULD this occur, Boggan
will be left without either arm.
