ized the legislature against, and was act
lively opposing the passage Of my high IL
cense bill, then pending in that body. At
that time 1t appeared to me upon the
statement of Mr.. Bower. that Mr.. Turner
had gone out of his way to strike down
with the weight of his great name, the
measure that was very dear to me, and
also to the vast majority of the white
people Of Brooks county and upon which
the Democratic party had put the stamp
.of it's approval
In view of the fact that Mr.. Turner to
me has disclaimed any connection what
ever, either expressed or implied with the
defeat or passage of said nigh license bill,
it affords me the greatest pleasure to
withdraw any remarks made by me, that
would in any way tend to reflect upon
Mr. Turner's character, either as a man
or as a statesman.
Please do me the courtesy and Mr.. Tur-
ner the justice to give this retraction the
widest publicity possible.
Yours very truly,
S. S. GAULDEN,
Representave Brooks county.

Pasture For Cows.

n. W. H., Fitzgerald, Ca:
have a ive-acre field that keep for
a pasture, have kept my cows on it some
four years ago. At that time it was COW
cred with wire grass. Now the grass is
very thin and furnishes but little pasture.
Some Of my Georgia neighbors advise me
10 plant IL to Bermuda grass. Others tell
me that II will spread all over my farm
and cause me much trouble. Being a SUBJ
scriber to your valuable paper, take the
liberty to ask your advice. I don't expect
TO use this piece OF ground for any other
purpose than a pasture for my cows.
Please tell me what kind of grass would
be best to plant and how much seed to
the acre, and where can get 1t. If Ber-
muda, would 1t be best to plant seed or
roots? What time of year would be best
time 10 plant, and about what viii 1t cost?
Please answer through The Journal and
oblige yours respectfully.
Answer: If you have a clay subsoil and
Bermuda grass thrives well in your i'm
mediate section, I would advise you to
sod your pasture in that grass. Bermuda
can be easily confined to a field with little
attention. and can be destroyed in a
sodded field with a little extra trouble and
labor, especially in sandy soils. 1t is best
to secure the roots, chop them up in an
cat cutter. SOW them broadcast and plow
in, or lay of the rows two feet apart,
drop a piece of joint in the furrow every
u inches and cover lightly. Plant about
the middle of March or after frost. 1t
viii soon spread over the field, especially
II plowed through and will give perma-
nent lasting sod after the first year or
two. The seed does not mature in this
country and you have to depend upon i'm
ported seed, which is not reliable. Pre-
pare your land well by deep blowing and
narrowing. II the seed are used broad
cast 20 pounds per acre and run a roller
lightly over the land after planting. To
secure green pasturage I'm winter, pillow
In Burr clover in October, sowing 20
pounds of clean seed per acre, cutting in
tho seed over the Bermuda sod with a disc
harrow The clover will grow during
winter and die down in April, when the
Bermuda will come on and furnish SPLEEN
did grazing until October, when by using
the disc harrow again the clover seed
will again be cut in and give another crop
Of clover. This can be kept up indefinite
". There Is no grass superior to Ber-
muda for spring, summer and fall graz
ing, and nothing better than Burr clover
for winter grazing, all of which can be
successfully grown in the same field.

with regret that our legislature seemed
powerless to arrange for a state exhibit.
was in St. Louis a month ago, and
at that time the officials of the expo
sition expressed a hope that they would
see a fine exhibit from the Empire state
of the south.
The public at large hardly appreciates
at this time the magnitude and impor-
lance of the exposition. In scope, size
and value, especially to the south, it
will mean a great deal more than the
worlds fair at Chicago.
Our company-the Atlanta Terra Gotta

Feedlna Sweet Potatoes.

d. L. B., Grove City. Fla:
VIII you kindly answer the following
through the columns of your valuable
paper, The Journal? Are sweet potatoes
and potato vines good TO feed milk cows?
Answer: Both sweet potatoes and vines
can be successfully and profitably fed
to hogs. cattle and horses, especially in
all localities where the swee potato
thrives. In feeding sweet potatoes 10
COWS. the tubers should be sliced and
mixed with other food. such as bran, corn
meal or cotton seed meal The sweet po-
tato in itself Is not a complete food, as It
falls short in protein, as for instance. 100
pounds OF corn contains 10 pounds of pro-
TEN, while 800 pounds Of sweet potatoes
only show Ia per cent protein. BY mix
ing one-half pound Of cotton seed meal
OF corn meal. OF one pound of COW peas
with 10 pounds OF sliced potatoes good
ration Is obtained. The vines may be fed
to good advantage II cut before frost.

which has developed into bad habit with
your mare. as is the case with many other
horses. Buy a bundle of fiat iron cotton

In the meantime you might also give the
following tonic: Pulverized gentian, one
quarter pound pulverized copperas, one
quarter pound; pulverized fenngreek. one
half pound; pulverized elecampane, one

RUSSIAN HOSPITALITY.
Exchange.

Exchange.
An Englishman who has spent some years in
st. Petersburg declares that Russian hospitality
demands more from Its recipients, in some ways
at least than any other. Here is his descrip-
ton OF the way you spend an evening In a Rus
sian house: you no sooner make your ap-
pearance than your host drags you to his
den and makes you take a drink. You find all
the other men there taking their pick of the
bottles ranging along the hosts private Side
board and helping themselves to a stln one
every few minutes. II you are wise and diplo-
matte you win dodge as many Of the ante
prandial drinks as possible. with view to
your comfort later on But you have got to be
very skillful about this. Most Russian hosts
have way Of regarding 1t as sort OF reiec-
ton upon their stock OF liqueurs II not, indeed,
on their own drinking habits II their non

necessarily you watch the performance, walk
ing about the boxes and chattering between
acts until after midnight, when the show comes
to an end.
docs that end the evening? Not at all.
You return with your host and hostess TO their

Reader, Nacoydachees, Texas.-I am a
reader of The Journal and have great
confidence I'm your advice. have about
175 acres in farm and have been working
it on halves with negro labor and I want
to quit it, Will 1t pay me to quit IL and go
into the dairy business? I have ten aver
age cows and can sell all of my milk at
80 and 40 cents per gallon and butter milk
at 20 cents per gallon and butter at %
cents per pound. / live four miles from
town on a good road Is that too far?
Answer-With the start you already
have in q herd OF ten good milk cows,
with a local market close at hand to dis
pose of the dairy product at good prices,
1 would unhesitatingly advise you to make
the change. You can SOW your land down
I'm small grain. clovers and grasses, using
improved farming implements to reduce
the cost of field labor. Raise corn and
cowpeas in abundance and gradually in
crease your herd. You can have money
coming in every day, improve and build
up your farm and find pleasure and profit
in the business. With your opportunities,
the change to a dairy business is much to
be preferred over raising cotton or any
thing else on halves with negro labor.

am a subscriber to The Journal and would
like for the following to be put in its
inquiry columns.
Ny father had a hog about months old
and small to its age. During the summer
months IL didn't appear to be healthy,
but on turning It in the field 1t mended
all right. and seemed to be in good
healthy condition. My father killed it a
few days ago. But a few days before it
was killed IL had a cough supposed to be
caused from sleeping under the house.
IL moved about carelessly, but didn't fail
10 eat We thought nothing the matter
with Il. only a cough caused by fits sleep
ing under the house. Father. thinking it
was all right, killed it, and on taking the
intestines out found that there was about
one-half gallon OF water between the in
testines and the side--in other words, the
intestines were swimming in water. l am
sure the water was not due to a cut in
the intestines.
You will please tell me through the in
quiry columns Of the next issue the
trouble with the hog. and whether or not
the meat is at to eat 1t seemed to be
all right.

the intestines and other parts of the pig
appeared to be sound and healthy, the

Result of a Quarrel.

Robert ]. Carver, colored and his wife
Agnes became involved in a quarrel at
their home, 1892 10th street northwest, yes
terday morning, and as a result the hus-
band was almost blinded with concentrated
lye, which he declares his wife threw in
his face.
Carver ran to the eighth precinct police
station with the Iye streaming down his
face and over his shoulders, and the officers
went to the scene of the 'broil and took the
woman in charge.
The injured man was sent to Freedman's
Hospital where his case was attended to,
and he was allowed to return home. 1t was
found that the acid had not affected his
eyesight.
The woman is held at the eighth precinct
station to await trial.
