NEGRo FInED AT sOLDIERs.

atlanta Constitution: A negro man
shot into a crowd of soldiers near Fort
Mcpherson Friday night about 9
O'Clock, and the affair threw the post
and vicinity into a state of great ex-
element. The ball failed TO take Ell
feet, but ii was first reported that a
soldier had been killed. Marshal Ed
Ryan of Oakland City with his blood
hounds, ana members of the county po-
lice force chased the negro for some
time. but failed to catch him. The
shooting greatly excited the soldiers at
tne post, and a break was made to
leave the place and join in the pursuit.
Maj. Pratt, the post commander. i'm
mediately took steps to prevent trou-
bic, and had the bugler blow assem-
bly,. This called the men back and
they We're formed in line. The roll was
called after which the men We're dis
missed. but We're not allowed to leave
the reservation. A special guard was
formed and patrOlled the post to see
that everything remained quiet. Much
indignation was expressed over the at
tempted killing and had the soldiers
been allowed to join in the chase and
had the fugitive been captured, he
would have Jared roughly.

save All seed. Possible.

Let every farmer and gardener de-
eide now and forever to save all the
seeds he possibly can of every plant
that seeds with him.
Some seeds he cannot save to ad-
vantage, but these he should save:
Beans of all kinds, corn, cucumbers,
English pea, pepper tomato, squash,
okra, sorghum, broom corn, melon.
Raise some seed potatoes of Georgia
yam and pink squash from planting
the vines and save carefully to bed
next spring. The Southern gardener
cannot very well grow his own beet,
turnip, onion and cabbage seed. 1t is
not advisable even to attempt the saw
ing of collard seeds in this section, as
they are cheaply procured from North
Carolina and generally better in quail
ity.
1t is easy enough for our Southern
farmers and gardeners to save most
of their own seeds and of much choicer
quality than what they usually buy.
1t is something they should not neg
lect.

OF all tubers. the most royal! What
a blessing to the people of the South!
A blessing to the aristocrat likewise to
the pickininny. We value it some
what, but not as much as we should.
They are too cheap, too easily grown
to be priced by a large class. They
are not edible raw like the banana, but
when baked just right why should
Georgia yam" stand uncovered to a
West Indian banana? Why indeed?
And the pink Spanish too! Think of
it! Gentle rains saturating the soil
to its full depth have fallen like
bedeniction upon all the farms in
Georgia probably during the past ten
days. Dry weather was beginning TO
tell upon the various crops about the
10th of the month, but to no serious
consequence we trust. May a benef-
icent creator pour out his blessing
upon the honest toiler under the South
ern sun. He needs it badly even if he
doesn't fully deserve it.

WHEN JUMBO IL sNEEzED.
After n Half Hour of Humping Him
self He Let Go.
From the Baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
Jumbo II sneezed yesterday. To the
average person this information is of
no startling importance. but to those
who happened to be on the Midway
at the Maryland Industrial Exposition,
Pennsylvania and North avenues,
when Jumbo sneezed the event was
one long to be remembered. Jumbo's
sneeze is like the bursting of a boiler,
and it created a fairly good-sized pam
ic. The elephant began to get ready
for the sneeze half an hour before it
happened, and as the time for the
event drew near he was rolling about
in his cage in great agony. Sudden
~ he stopped, gave one below and
then sneezed.
The look of perfect contentment on
his face after the great event was in
startling contrast to the terror seen
on the faces of the fleeing people. Wis
itors to the exposition were running
in all directions, not knowing what
awful thing it was they were racing
away from. Among the Mohamme-
dams of the Oriental and Cingalese viii
lagos Jumbos sneeze caused wild ex-
citement. Oriental folk are most SUI
perstitious about elephants, and they
believe to hear one sneeze brings all
kinds of good luck They rushed to
Jumbo's cage, and, bowling low before
his elephantine highness, began pray
ing at a rapid rate. When they fin
ished they explained that an elephants
sneezes are of the rarest occurrence,
and the vent was one of great sig
nificance to them. Elephants are sus
ceptible to cold and catch cold easily,
but it is very rarely that they sneeze.
Capt. Miller, Jumbo's keeper, says
it is good thing this is so, for a
few more sneezes like Jumbo had yes

swet-Corn And Sorghum For Hogs.

SWet-COrn And Sorghum For Hogs.
AS it is the time of year to make
calculations for the spring crop, and
what you are going to plant to feed
next fall and winter. 1 wish to men
ton two that should go into the yearly
calendar says a Western Farmer. One
is sweet corn and the other is sor-
ghum. They are especially adapted
to cows and hogs. Sweet corn is
crop that can be produced cheaply. 1t
takes about the same cultivation as
field corn, but will mature much
earlier, oft will come in when the
grain is the scarcest and the most
needed. 1t is an ideal feed for young
stock, especially young pigs; it gives
them a s,art, so they are in fine con-
dition for the field corn when it is
more mature, says a correspondent in
the National Stockman.
But what l want to speak about
more especially is the sorghum. Here
we have a plant that is vigorous in
growth that will stand drouth re-
markably we'll, and that is rich in
sugar, with a grain ration on top. 1t
is a heavy yielder; it will make as
much succulent food an acre as any
feed we can raise here in Ohio. In
planting this crop do not plant it too
thick for hogs, as the larger stalk the
more sap and the more seed it will
produce l found that was the mis-
take l made; the hogs don't care for
the small stalks, but they are better
for the cattle. When | plant this
spring I will aim to plant about three
and one-half feet by three feet. and
not too much in a hill, so as to get as
large a growth as possible of stalk
and seed. AS last season was very
dry, | calculated / got from four to
five tons an acre.
/ would advise the amateur to start
with an acre and see how much feed
of that kind will lbe needed. For an
ordinary farmer with ten brood sows
and some CROWNS shoats an acre will
be enough, and then you will have
some for the cattle besides. l have
been feeding from my acre more or
less ever since / cut it and it is not
half gone yet. Five pounds of seed
will be required to plant an acre. 1
feed my brood sows two ears of corn
a head with their sorghum night and
morning, and l never have had sows
in such fine, healthy condition; their
hair is a ssmooth as If they had been
lately groomed. My neighbors see the
difference and remark, Your sows
look so we'll" OF course they are
pure bred Poland Chinas, and their
hair is naturally smooth, but the sur
ghum puts the gloss on.
To cure the crop l had a large shed
sixty feet long, to which l hauled and
set it along the walls till it cured,
then l stored it in one end; but had
l no shed l would cut and shock like
corn in the field till cured, then store
in the barn. The enemies of the seed
are mice, chickens and English spar
rows; if you can keep them off you
are all right. Thede is no waste in
sorghum fodder, as the horses and cat
tie will eat every vestige of it, and
you can't tell where you fed them last.

turned upside down. or quart berry

good, rich soil, and plant the SEEDS III
these. covering lightly and watering
Just enough to keep il moist. In the
case of sod 1 put some fine soil on top
of them and plant the seeds near the
center of the piece. else they cannot
be moved without the dirt dropping
off the roots. The square, bottomless
boxes are by far the best, as the plants
handle far nicer in these.
In transplanting l take the boxes up
by running a fiat shovel under them
and placing them on a platform on
wheelbarrow, first soaking them thor
oughly. 1 take them to the land pre-
pared, and strip the boxes down over
a piece of scantling that just hts the
inside of the box, thus leaving the
plants with a ball of dirt standing on
the end of the scantling. These are
carefully set in holes, freshly prepared,
one man doing this while another with
the hoe prepares the hills ana draws
the dirt back around the plants, press
ing It firmly In this way the plants
grow right along. without the slight
est check, if set out when settled warm
weather has come. They will be so FAR
along and so tough that by the time
the striped beetles find them they do
the plants little harm.
The Netted Gem or ROCKY OIu 10
one of the easiest to grow in this way.
The Emerald Gem is one of the most
satisfactory melons to handle, because
of its very fine quality. and it is early;
but when grown in this way 1t is neces-
sary to keep up a vigorous growth
from start to finish, as it is more cas-
lily stunted in transplanting. In that
case it will not bear much of a crop.
The Usage and the Tip Top are fine
melons to grow in this manner, but 1T
is also necessary to push them along
with a vigorous growth, in order to get
them to ripen up fully before the
blight comes.
Soil with plenty of decaying matter,
old rotten sod, is best, and l aim to
pillow this in the fall and give it a good
coat of well-rotted manure in the fall
or winter. In the spring go over this
as early as the ground works we'll with
a pulverizer or disk harrow, and thor
oughly work the manute into the
ground When nearly ready to plant,
pillow the ground again, pretty shallow,
fit it and mark in squares 3X4 feet for
Emerald Gem, AKA feet for Melted Gem,
and 4x5 or 4x6 feet for other strong
growing kinds. After cultivating sew
eral times the vines are drawn into
full rows the short distance, thus leav-
ing the space between the rows for
gathering. Aside from the general ma
nuring l generally apply in the hills
a liberal quantity of well-rotted COM
post or fertilizer strong in nitrogen,
so as to keep the vines growing Wig
orously.

sumnanry of the Cowpea.

First. The COW peas can be grown
in all parts of the country where dent
corn succeeds, observes the N. C. Ex-
pertinent Station.
Second Different varieties produce
plants of widely different habits, some
erect and shrub shaped, others with
long, trailing or climbing vines; some
ripen seed within two months from
planting, others require six months or
longer for their maturity.
Third The variety of planting is to
be selected according to the use to
which the crop is to be put, and the
time of planting.
Fourth. Thorough preparation of the
soil before planting is as profitable for
cow peas as for any other crop: the
greater the care in this respect, the
greater the satisfaction and profit in
the yield.
Fifth. Phosphoric acid and potash
need to be applied literally to promote
the heaviest growth and to ensure alb
sorbtion of the greatest possible
amount of nitrogen from the air.
Sixth. a small amount of quick
acting heterogeneous fertilizer is some
times valuable in giving the young
plants a prompt and vigorous start,
but too much is Improbable
Seventh Cow peas may he planted
whenever the ground is warm enough
for planting beans or melons.
Eighth. Drill planting requires less
seed and more cultivation, and the
yield Is unusually heavier than when
sown broadcast.
Ninth. When saved for hay the crop

1t is common complaint that
the farm and farm life are not ap-
preciated by our people. We long
for the more elegant persuits, or
the ways and fashions of the town.
But the farmer has the most sane
and natural occupation, and ought
to find life sweeter, if less highly
seasoned. than any other. He
alone. strictly speaking, has home.
How can a man take root and

The Uselessness OF Swearing.


While sitting with General
Grant at the camp fire lafe one
night, after every one else had gone
to bed, L said to him: General,
it seems singular that you have
gone through all the tumble of
army service and frontier life, and
have never been provoked into
swearing L have never heard you
utter an oath or use an impreca-
ton"
"WelI, somehow or other, 1
never learned to swear" he replied
When boy 1 seemed to have an
aversion to it, and when l became
a man / saw the folly of it. have
always noticed, too, that swearing
helps to rouse mans anger, and
when a man flies into a passion his
adversary who keeps cool always
gets the better of him. In fact, 1
never could see the use of swearing.
1 think it is the case with many
who swear excessively that it is a
mere habit, and that they do not
mean to be profane; but to say the
least, it is a great waste of time" y

BOYS And The uigarette.

The statistics in regard to heart
disease among boys caused by the
use of the cigarette are simply ap
palling. One hundred and fifty
boys were recently examined in
Chicago as to their physical quail
fications for positions on the vari-
GUS high-school athletic teams, and
nineteen of them were rejected be-
cause of the tobacco heart. 1t is
probable that a large proportion of
the boys examined were not smok-
ers. In preliminary examination
for West Point. in Pitts6eld, Mass,
one-fourth of the candidates were
rejected for the same cause. The
army and navy records present a
fearful list of heart failures from
the same evil habit. 1t is also a
fruitful source of insanity, as many
medical men testify. Each teach
er of boys can adduce instances of
of young lads ruined mentally,
morally, and physically by the ter
rible habit, grown into vice. The
cigarette fiend is the boy who has
become complete slave to his ap-
petite, Once fairly in it's grasp,
he is stunted in development, lost
to ambition, sunk to all appeals to
honor; he will lie, steal. do anything
to satisfy his Unsuitable drawings
