A POLITICAL CAKE-wALK.

Washington Gazette: Men who hate
q dull time could have had their desire
for Iiveliness fully satisfied at the big
Democratic mass meeting which was
held in the Court House Tuesday. The
old-line Democrats who were clinging
closely to the principles of the party.
were proceeding according to precedent
when unfairness was charged by some
of the minority. They were very cour-
teously given every opportunity TO
prove the charge. but they utterly
failed on every vote and in every man
ner of voting. Finally they demanded
what turned out to be a grand cake
a peradventure that the old-line Demo-
Gratis had a good big majority, objec-
tions to proceeding according 20 prece-
dent, finally ceased. The question at
issue, was not one time mentioned, but
the anti-dispensary leaders were very
much in evidence as supposed to the
regular proceedings. 1t had leaked out
from that party that they intended to
name their regularly organized COM
mittee as the Democratic Executive
Committee of Wilkes county, but they
did not have enough votes to carry
their point Then their next move was
to have the old committee reappoint-
ed, but they did not get votes enough
to even call for a division. We had
told them that they had put on too
many frills, but they seemed to think
we We're guying them. They had on
so many frills and fiounces they could
not step very lively in the grand cake

House last Tuesday, in Difference to

AnEorn Goats.

Modern skill. necessity and ingenuity
have made it possible to utilize every
portion of the hog except it's grunt and
squeal, and it is asserted you can sell
every part of a goat except it's scent.
The latter statement is made by Mr.
John Collins, who manages an extern
sive goat farm in Arizona. The num-
Der of goats on his farm he could not
for the life of him tell, he says. There
might be 10000 10000 or 30,000-he had
no idea how many. He is considered
an authority upon the uses and abuses
of the goat. On his farm there is
nothing but sage brush and cactus for
the goats to live on, yet no man, he
claims, ever saw a dead goat, unless
he (the goaD came to a violent end.
They will live and thrive where near
ly every other living thing would
starve to death.
He started with $50 common goats,
deriving the profit from the sale of the
hides. After a time these were crossed
with Angora goats and after two years
the cross disappears and a perfect An
CORA goat remains. The long hair of
this goat is made into plush for furni-
ture, sleeping cars and similar uses.
The hair next to the skin can be made
into valuable shawls. The meat of the
kids is delightful when fresh, and is
canned and sent to Cuba, the Philip
pines, China and other foreign coun-
tries as canned lamb. One
great virtue of the milk
is that it is a deadly foe to tubercula,
and consumptives by drinking it are
often cured of the disease. In fine, no
other dumb animal has more valuable
qualities than the goat No stables
are required in which to house him. He
takes care of himself; looks out for
his own shelter if he needs any, and is
altogether an independent, profitable,
happy go-lucky kind Of an animal.

killing Peach Tree Borers with

My experience with coal tar to pre-
vent the injurious work of the peach

nursery business, IL whom l mad the

ter on about 200 trees in a o,oc< OF
Loco. and found thai his statement vas
absolutely correct. For the last eight
years have set peach trees every year
and / never fail to make a thorough
application of the tar With an old
paint brush put it upon the trunk of
the trees before setting, spreading the
tar from the roots up the trunk from
eight to twelve inches. l am careful
to remove any borers that may be in
the tree as they come from the nursery
1 keep in mind this fact that the coal
tar will not Kill the borer deeply buried
under the bark, but will prevent the
moth from depositing it's eggs at the
base of the tree. The application of
the tar must be made annually there
after, being sure to finish the work be-
lore the InOln DeSlnS 10 ny, winch l.
believe is from June l to Is usually. In
making these annual applications it is
necessary to insure success, that the
earth be removed down TO the roots.
The bark from the roots up eight to
twelve inches must be completely
covered with the tar.
In case the tree is suffering from
the effects of the shot hole borer or
fruit bark beetle, l know of nothing
that is equal to the coal tar as a rem
edy. In case of mechanical injury to
a tree the tar is better than any paint
or wash we have ever tried. We have
used it SO many years under varying
conditions with such good results, we
are enabled to appreciate the statement
that Prof. M. V. Slingerland always
makes when writing or speaking on
this subject, ito be careful in the use
of coal tar, for we have heard that it
will kill peach trees" In reviewing
the experience that / have had in using
coal tar, l feel that / have the right
to say that we have proved that coal
tar will not kill peach trees when prop
erly applied. 1t is the best application
to prevent the ravages of the peach
tree borer known to me.

man of Savannah. and at present the

Colquitt counties a visit within the

quit county has gone. so has gone the
state of Georgia; and knowing this,
we have wondered why Col Estill has
not been here sooner. Messrs. Query

ceive the same wages as those who
have borne the burden and heat of

him to our section, confident that our
closer acquaintance will be mutually

There is always more or less inpor-
lance attached to spraying fruit trees
at this season of the year and those
who have orchards and small fruits
will be interested in knowing some of
the preparations to be employed in
spraying and the habits .of the insects
to be destroyed by the spraying. The
New Mexico Experiment Station has
had some experiments along this line
and has given out a bulletin, a por-
ton of which herewith is appended:
Before discussing the spraying form
ulas few words should be said in
regard to the relation of the food hab-
its of the insects to the remedies. Brief-
ly stated, there are two classes of in
sects-biting and sucking The latter
group includes those insects which in
jure plants by inserting their tube-like
mouth parts into the plant tissue and
drawing up the sap of the plant Com
mon forms of these insects are the
scale insects, red spiders, woody aphis,
and other plant lice. The remedy must
be one that kills by contact with the
insect body, such as kerosene, kerosene
emulsion and the slop mixtures. The
biting insects are those which chew
and swallow some portion of the plant
or fruit. The grasshopper, many bee
ties and the codling moth larvae are
good illustrations. The direct poison.
such as Paris green or other arsenicals,
which can be applied to the part of
the plant that is eaten by the insect,
are the surest remedies. Spra ying mix
lures are divided into insecticides and
fungocides. The latter division in
cludes those solutions used for fun
gous diseases. Insecticides are the
preparations used against the insect
pests, and they are divided into two
divisions, according to whether the in
sect to be treated is a biting or a
sucking one.
Fungicides.-Bordeau Mixture-This
is the great remedy for rots, mildews,
and all fungous diseases and it is pre-
pared as follows: Copper sulphate
(blue stone), pounds; fresh lime,
to pounds; water, so gallons. Put he
copper sulphate in coarse sack and
suspend it in water till it is all dis
solved, and dilute to twenty-five gall
Ions. Use either wooden of an earth
en- vessel. Then Stake the lime and
dilute to twenty-five gallons, and at
the same time stir with a paddle. An
important point is to use enough lime.
as it prevent the burning of the fol-
iage. To determine if enough lime has
been used, in preparing the mixture,
add few drops of a solution of cyan
ide of potassium. If the ferro-cyan-
ide of potassium does not change, no
more lime is needed. but if it changes
to a dark reddish color more lime must
be added and the test repeated.
