Kill Out the Vermin.

Good authorities confidently declare
that the majority of the diseases 10
which poultry are subject are caused
by vermin. says the Poultry World. II
this is the case, no precaution can be
too great to take against these pests,
and scrupulous care of the poultry
houses become imperative. The dis
graceful way in which some poultry
houses are kept Is productive of a
thousand ills to the flock. the direct re-
suit of laziness or carelessness on the
part of the owner. Too many fowls
should not be kept in one house, no
matter how large this Is an axiom. II
Is better all around TO have the flock
divided. Twice a year the houses
soul be thoroughly lime washed. not
only the walls. but all the holes and
corners. Lift the perches out OF their
sockets and something will be seen
which looks like black dust. but is
really vermin. which hide there during
the daytime and come out AZ night 10
feed on the fowl To destroy these
pests. the ends Of the perches and sock
cts should be thoroughly treated with
parahln oil or. some equally efiicaoious
substance. Attend 20 this before the

SUING UNDER FLORIDA LAW.

Macon News: Mrs. Lizzie Carrin. a
resident of Berrien county has brought
suit for $4,000 against the Georgia
Southern and Florida Railroad Com
pany. Mrs. Carrin claims that on July
80 of last year she purchased a ticket
from the agent at Hahira, Ga, to Jas
per, Fla, over the defendants rail-
road; that she had with her two small
children, and years old; also a large
hat box and grip. The petitioner claims
that when the train arrived a Jasper
it did not stop long enough for her
to get cut without injury to herself
or children. She further alleges that
the train did not stop until it had
passed a mile beyond her destination.
and that she was forced to walk back
to Jasper where she arrived with her
bundles and two children about dark,
in a WORKOUT and distressed condi-
ton, and she claims that she has been
sick ever since the occurrence. This
case will be of unusual interest. as
the case will be tried under the Flor
ida law. 1t is coptended that the law
in Florida requires that when a pas
senger is carried beyond his or her
destination, the conductor must see
that a suitable place is found for put
ting off such passenger.

have not yet secured, but let us hope
it can be done. There are individual
trees of the native chestnut to be met
with in the woods of larger size than
usual. 1t has never been my luck to
meet with one with nuts as large as
the foreign ones produce, and yet
should not give up trying for it were
1t in my line to look for it. The per-
son who could offer trees of kind to
produce nuts of as large size as the
Japanese and of as good flavor as the
native one, would possess something
valuable indeed. Mr., Burbank, the
well-known Californian experimentor,
has been. hybridizing the various
chestnuts mentioned with a view to
the getting of one to fit the require
ments of the times, and it is thought
he has secured what he desires. The
Japanese chest nut is an early bearer,
so also are the improved sorts of the
European. But the early bearing of
these improved sorts comes from the
grating which all have undergone.
Grating usually accelerates the bear
ing of all fruit trees, and it certainly
does of the sorts spoken Of Seedlings
of the European bear no sooner than
the native. Those who have native
chestnuts on their grounds could pro-
cure cions of the improved sorts and
graft with them. The process is just
the same as for ordinary grating.
Large trees could be worked. the cions
being placed on suitable branches,
the same as for apples or pears. Some
times there are sprouts in a thicket,
and these could be grated with the
desired sorts. The cions to be used
need not be cut far ahead of the time
for their use. If cut month in adj
vance of their use ii will be time
enough. The grating should be done
when the buds are plainly swelling,
not before. as the sap must be freely
flowing to make a complete success
Of the operation.

Too Many Elbcrtas Being Planted

In a recent number of a cotempo-
rary, the American Agriculturist we
believe it was, a word of warning,
worthy of serious consideration, has
been given out to peach growers of the
South and West.
We regard the warning as timely ut
tered-perhaps a little too late for the
good of some.
We believe it is true that there are
too great proportion of alberta
peaches entering into the new planta-
lions. A larger number of earlier and
later varieties than the alberta should
have found a place in the newer orch
ards There are other good peaches
that should have attention in order to
prolong the season of fresh fruit for
the cannery, as well as for the table.
Our peach growers should consider
this matter. The markets are inviting
a larger supply of yellow and white
peaches that ripen both before and
after the season of Elbertas The In
dian Bloom type of peaches has been
neglected greatly in the past twenty
years. The White English is in very
limited supply in sev-ey market nova
days. How about the reento type, too?
Is not this variety worthy of more ex-
tended culture? What say our peach
growers? -Essace.

BAD FIRE AT RooKLEDGE.

A fire started either by passing
train or by the section men, who were
burning brush out by the track, played
havoc with the lower part of Rock
ledge Friday. The fire originated in
a brush pile by the railroad track. A
heavy southwest wind was blowing
and in a few minutes, it was beyond
control. 1t swept through Munzingos
grove, and it was only by hard fighting
that the house was kept from CATCH
ing. From Munzingo's it crossed Sal
mons place and entered Breese's place
Breese's entire grove of nineteen acres
was swept from one end to the other
burning the trees and running the fruit
of which there were some two hundred
and fifty boxes on the trees. Both
men and women worked Valiantly to
keep the buildings from burning. Had
the wind not suddenly veered to the
southeast the whole place would have
undoubtedly gone, and perhaps the
whole hammock.

PIGEON SHOOTING CONDEMNED.

Aiken Recorder: The crowded
roops of fiuttering pigeons that are
almost daily seen In front of the ex-
press office, and the sounds bang-bang.
that are heard nearly every afternoon
10 the northwest of the city indicate
the brutal sport carried on here every
teason. Live pigeon shooting is a bru-
tai sport. Their is no possible excuse
tor 1t, and its foundation is cruelty,
and cold-blooded indifference to suffer-
Ing. The Workmanship is almost OF no
use either in war or in hunting, the
places where the shooting matches
are held depreciate real estate values
tor large distance around them i'm
every direction. and they are centers
Of Generalization, especially to the
boys who find employment around the
traps, while modern humanity can well
Afford to lack such pleasure as a few
score gunners get out of the shooting
Df helpless birds We learn last sea-
son over 1900 pigeons were shot at
the grounds in the suburbs of Aiken,
and this season, unless the cruel work
b stopped. II is likely that as many,
II not more, of these gentle birds will
be killed.

Perfected Foreign Chestnut-.

For several years past considerable
attention has been given to the i'm
provament of the sweet chestnut, seek
ing for hardy, large fruited sorts. and
much success has been attained, says
Joseph Meehan in Practical Farmer.
Both the European and the Japanese
species bear nuts very much larger
than our native sort does. The Span

been grown In this country for many
years, and some improved varieties OF
