The State Saved.

An acceptable Governor has been
elected. At the moment this is writ
ten, Monday morning, his name is not
known, but it is certain that he is u good
man,-honest aud upright and with
plenty of ability.
As for the United States Senator
nominated yesterday, no one need be
excited or alarmed about him. We are
sure that " man has been chosen who
will give close attention to the affairs
of the State. THE ADVERTISER has
long since passed the point of losing
sleep concerning the selection of Off
clals. No matter who is elected or de-
feated, we shall not be chagrinned. No
body is "crow" to The ADVERTISER.
We must even confess that we are not
so intensely concerned about the State
disgracing itself as some of our con-
te~mporaries are. SO long as THE AID
yERTISER does not regard itself an ac-
complice in the States disgrace, it will
insist upon being happy.
All the state officers are efficient and
respectable men. So are all the county
officers.
The primary is a fine institution. 1t
furnishes something to talk about and
read about. On the whole, a higher
class of men might be chosen through
q convention system, but the people
would not have the fun of choosing
them. Politics is a game and it is
played by means of q primary-which
enables all the people to participate.
The rich have polo, golf and ping-pong.
The masses have the primary and it is
the best game of all.

tie soft soap or size to give it a stay
ing quality. If the houses have become
very filthy, whitewash will not be suf-
ficient to kill the vermin. Fumigation
with sulphur is the best remedy for
that condition of affairs. Stop up all
the holes and outlets and set dish of
burning sulphur inside; its fumes will
effectually destroy every form of insect
life. and will penetrate into every crack
and crevice with an irresistible power.
When the sulphur has done its work,
then apply the whitewash and you may
be sure that the houses are chemically
clean. There is an ancient and truth
full proverb which says, "A slack wo-
man can clean, but it takes a neat wo-
man to keep clean This is equally
applicable to the other sex so far as we
can see. A vigorous cleaning and
embarrassing and fumigating once or
twice a year, and almost total neglect
of the poultry houses between whites
is d most pernicious and lazy way of
keeping hens. The houses should be
cleaned at least twice "a week, and
oftener is better and the litter raked
out every day This may sound like
good deal of work, but 1t pays, There
is no play about profitable poultry
keeping. 1t is very easy to keep few
hens dragging out a miserable exist
ence on the manure pile, but not very
lucrative. The natural instinct of
hen seems to turn town dirt and filth,
but this instinct must be combatted
and clean surroundings provided. The
hens thmeslves should be thoroughly
busted with powdered sulphur or some
good insect powder every two months
or so, in addition to the dust bath
which every wise poultry keeper Will
furnish All these preparations may
seem to have very little to do with
winter egg production. but are in real
ity most closely connected with it in
every way. Only the healthy hen will
lay eggs; and only the clean, -vermin-
free hen can be healthy, for any length
of time, at least. Do not delay about
her fall housekeeping. for that must be
done, even if other things wait.

pened to go astray during the shear
ing season and they have not been
looked after for two years, and for this
reason they produced such long mo-
hair. The owners of the goats re-
'ceived from me as much for the mo-
hair as the entire goat was worth to
them. This goes to prove that it is
possible to produce long mohair. and
by doing so the breeders can obtain
much better prices from me for the
Two years growth of the fleece, and
with less trouble, than the total price
would have amounted to in two years,
had the animals been sheared twice
each year. Many breeders have made
the experiment with entire satisfac-
ton and profit to themselves.
Give instructions to your shearers TO
separate the long hair az inches or
longer from the short. 1t win be TO
your advantage. as l will buy all you
have thus saved at a largely increased
price, either in large or small quanti-
ties.
Remember by picking out the extra
long from the short hair you do not
lessen the price of the bulk of the
fleece, which in most instances will
bring the same price as it would had
the extra long hair been left in it.

At Camden, N. J., they were discuss
ing the death of Hon. William J.
Sewell, United States Senator from
New Jersey, when DR.. Taylor, the
family physician, in speaking of the
senator's death this afternoon, said:
HE would have probably lived many
years with diabetes had he not gone
abroad, but Carlsbad had always
helped him before, and it was there
that he went for relief again. 1t was
monia trouble, and this, with the dia-
betes he already had. resulted in a
complication that medical skill proved
unable to cope with"
Thereupon DR.. w. H. Morse, the
American director of the Bureau of
Materia Medica, said:
THAT meets my argument for Su-
vance Springs. 1 published a good
word for them five years ago, and
continue to maintain that in every
way the water is the equal of Carlsbad
or any other. The Springs are easy of
access, and the psychic influences of
change of scenery and climate are
wonderful. There are no chill winds to
cause pneumonia, and no malaria. My
advice is to send all patients with kid
ney troubles to Suwanee Springs, and
let Carlsbad take care of itself. Springs
equal in every way to the most aristo-
cratic in Europe, need our apprecia-
ton, and they are getting it,"

Intensive Tomato CuIture-HiII
Planting.

Flaming.
As a grower of tomatoes for thirty
years, I do not hesitate to say that
until one has grown an acre or two
after the midway method he does not
suspect the possibilities of the plant.
The plat for tomatoes, whether large or
SMALL is checked off 3x3 feet and
stake firmly driven in at each check.
Seeds of selected Dwarf Champion are
soWn in well-made cold-frames about
six weeks before the plants are wanted
for setting out in the open ground.
When the time arrives, three we'll
grown, stocky plants are set around
each stake in a triangle 12X12x12 inches
Before the plants are set the soil has
been well prepared with plow and har-
row, roller if necessary, narrowing in
If necessary, plenty of a good amoni-
ated phosphate. with potash. The to-
mato does its best in soil we'll SUD-
piled with the mineral elements. The
crop is pushed from the start with all
necessary shallow cultivation, going
through with the hoe once or even
three times.
About the time the first fruit begins
to set the vines are encncled with a
band of cloth or coarse Irvine. drawing
them slightly in to the stake. This
band, placed twelve or fifteen inches
from the ground, ordinarily keeps the
fruit from the earth. split the stake
OH rainy days. They are made about
three feet long
The Aristocrat and Champion are
ideal kinds for growing in hills. Some
times | have varied the plan little by
using two plants to the stake, one on
each side, and having the rows 2S or 30
inches. One acre grown in this man.
ner will usually produce as much mer-
charitable fruit as two acres in the or
binary way. 1t is equally satisfactory
also when only a few dozen or a few
hundred plants are grown.
