The announcement was made some time
ago in Siftings that the Portland hotel
was the only one in the city that donated
to the Fourth of July celebration. We
were misinformed as in regards to this
state of affairs, and have since learned
that Mrs. M. ]. Walsh, proPrietress of the
Castle hotel donated most literally to in
sure the success of the celebration.

We understand that it will not be very
long until the government begins the
task of making arrangements for trans.
fering the postoffice into the list of second
class offices. This will mean that Post
master Noyes will get healthier looking
check each quarter and will not be oblig-
ed to sell stamps with margin" on
them in order to compete with other
postof1ices. AT this time it is difficult to
tell what will be done in the matter of a
change. One thing is practically certain
and that is that the furniture and fixtures
for the office will be all new and up-to-
date and it will then be possible to get a
postoffice box that man can own by
paying rent on it. At the present time
the Office has so outgrown the past that
it is impossible to get box and as re-
suit the general delivery business is
greatly overdone.

The deer seen one day last week on
the hill back of the Oakland Hotel
has disappeared. 1t is thought the
animal was run away by dogs, a num-
Der having been heard in that direc-

A horse, the property of John
Halnes, Esq, of Deer Park, was kill
ed Friday by the point of pillow, to
which it, with another animal was
hitched, puncturing its stomach. The
horses became frightened and unman-
ageable when one of them fell to the
ground the other dragging the pillow
toward it, and the point entering it's
stomach producing death few hours
later.
Messrs. j. w. feathers & Co., the

The day of the lightning rod is pass
ing. The governments latest census
returns shows that Franklin's inven-
ton for protecting the house is little
used today. No electrical manufact-
uring establishment reports it among
the products, and so far as the census
expert has been able to learn, only
one American electrical engineering
firm makes business of setting up
the rods or designing them. So far as
large cities are concerned, disastrous
lightning strokes are reported to be
more rare, and the decrease is ac-
counted for by the network of cleo
trically charged wires and other APP
paratus with which the city is now
interviewer and surrounded.

Merchant and real estate dealer P.
L. Cartwright, of Mountain Lake
Park, has laid the bennett Field,
consisting of about eleven sores of
land, out into building lots of good
propositions and offers them for sale
upon reasonable terms. The ground
lies along the Oakland-Mt. Lake
Park road adjacent to the Park and
through it a street forty feet wide has
been cut. The street extends to the
road in the rear of Hotel bennett near
the Driving Park so that ingress and
egress can be had from two thorough
fares. The ground is most desirable
for building purposes, and pros
pective buyers should not delay in
making their purchases.

the witness just where the latter was
standing at the moment the plaintiff
was struck by the car.

Sheen Made Big Cotton.

A correspondent of Farm and Ranch
says: Zone of the most difficult prob
lens with which Southern farmers
have had to wrestle is that of proper
fertilizing for cotton. On black lands
with alternate plots fertilized and nm
fertilized, the unfertilized have usually
given the best results. On sandy
loans heavy applications Of nitroge-
nous manures have given too much
weed without a corresponding yield
Of lint and seed, and yet on our river
bottom lands, rich in humus, the cot
ton plant frequently grows eight to
nine feet high, and yields from $50 to
1000 pounds OF lint cotton per acre.
Here we have q heavy yield with enor-
nous weed, proving that heavy yield
and great growth of weed are not in.
compatible, but under proper condi-
tons of soil and good cultivation the
'weedy growth is necessary to large
yield of cotton. The writer had seven
acres Of sandy loan that had been a
sheep pen. or series of pens. For
twelve years this ground was planted
alternately with cotton and corn. The
first year the cotton was left eighteen
inches apart in four-foot rows. The re-
suit was an impenetrable thicket and
not 500 pounds of seed cotton on the
seven acres. Afterward it was planted
in six-foot rows and thinned to four
feet. and the average yield of five years
Covering a period of twelve years. was
SIS pounds of lint, and not a pound of
additional fertilizer was used. The
same land also averaged forty-two
bushels Of corn for the six alternate
years. There is something more in
this matter Of fertilization for cotton
than the character and quantity of
the fertilizer. In one respect cotton
differs from most staple crops, because
the more fertile the soil, the greater
distance the plants must have. 1t is
the reverse In the case of corn.

Cantaloupe BLIGHT.


The cantaloupe blight Is increasing in
some sections. As it is carried in the
seed no doubt other sections will soon
make it's acquaintance. and It is well
to be on the lookout for its first an
pearance.
The cantaloupe blight is caused by .
true parasite fungus. It first appears
as a number Of small brown spots
upon the leaves in the centre Of the
hill. If the younger leaves are exam.
ined 1t will be seen that the fungus is
at work some time before the brown
spots make their appearance. It will
be noticed that the leaf tissue is being
eaten away where the fungus is at
work. and it is the decomposition or
dying of this tissue that causes these
brown spots. The spots grow larger
as the fungus spreads, until the leaves
affected have the appearance of being
frostbitten.
AT the first appearance of the dis
ease spray with bordeaux mixture

four pounds of fresh lime; when the
lime has cooled, strain off the lime
water and add it to the bluestone So
luton; add water enough to make
forty gallons.
AS the vines grow rapidly at the
time Of spraying it will be necessary
to repeat often in order to cover the
new growths. Almost all spraying
mixtures should be stirred while being
used to prevent precipitation.
