by scientists who have recently In
veStigaicd this section that the soil Is
so rich that but little tiliage is re-
quired; and that Is the reason that
the mountain coffee districts are so
productive. The mountain coffee is
cut with machctes. or short swords.
In this manner the soil is cleared Of
the wild growth of coffee. but the roots
are left alive. and they help to hold
the ground In place. while they also
furnish forth the basis OF the ensuing
crops.

The Origin of "Buck- I'd, ~

There are few persons" says O SOL
der who, long since returned to civic
ranks. "who know how the name Of
blackboard came TO be applied TO q
vehicle. IL was way back in the '2os,
when the transportation Of goods,
wares and merchandise wan principal
ly all by wagons. DIR. Buck. who for
long years after was the military
storekeepcr here, was then in charge
OF stores en- route to army posts in
the southwest. In east Tennessee
difficulty was experienced by reason
of the rough roads, and there were
frequent mishaps. mostly from the
wagons overtarning. DIR. Buck over
hauled the outrit, and abandoning the
wagon bodies, long boards were set
directly on the axles or hung below.
and the stores were reloaded In such
. manner that there were no further
delays from breakdowns, and the
stores safely reached their destina-
tions. The idea doubtless was not
new, but DR.. Bucks example was fol-
lowed. especially when roads were
rough. and soon much hauling was
done by the use OF wheel, axle and
boards only. Now the fashionable
blackboard recalls the old gentleman
to some of us."-Washington Star.
