The HarI low and the ROIIer-"Scien-
tifc" Cultivation.

The HarJ ONv and the ROHer-'Scien-
tifc" Cultivation.
These implements are not much used
in the South. More's the pity! Both
of them are far more essential in
Southern ATTITUDES than in Northern.
We see a harrow now and then, but a
roller very rarely indeed. Cultivation
cannot be scientifically done anywhere
without these two implements and they
are supplementary to each other, as
cultivating tools. There are not many
to be sure who look upon the roller
as a cultivating implement, but there
are times in the home and market
garden especially when it is the only
tool that can do the perfect work of
cultivation. In a long, dry spell it
should alternate with the harrow.
One must understand the nature of
the movement of soil moisture, the
availability of dew as a provider of
sufficient moisture to keep a crop
growing during periods of drougthy
weather. On dry uplands it is re-
markable how a crop can be tided over
dry spell of several weeks duration
by the alternate use of a harrow and
roller, the one following the other
after an interval of several days. The
tirming of the surface soil effected by
the roller causes a deposit of dew that
rain. Most OF our soil has so little
humus in it now it requires only a
week or so of dry weather under a
burning SUM- such as is comomn any
time after May. to show it's bad infiu-
ence on the crop, especially if it is a
quickly maturing one like Irish pota-
toes, sweet corn, peas and others that
enter into the culture of the truck
farm" 1t is also remarkable how lit
tie rain comparatively is needed to
make certain quick growing or quick
maturing crops ready for market, If
only full use is made of the benefi-
cent dews of heaven. This can only
De accomplished by a certain shallow
stirring of the surface soil which
keeps the surface in a well pulver
lied, compact condition-a condition to
be secured by the use of the two i'm
plements that have been named. We
hope yet to see manufactured and sold
an implement possessing in itself the
combined qualities of roller and har-
row so that narrowing and rolling may
be done by the one team at the same
time. Such an implement will consti-
tute the most scientific" implement
of cultivation that has yet been con-
ceived. Its use one season in a truck
garden would prove 1t to be an ''in-
dispensible" tool for securing perfect
cultivation of potatoes, cabbage sweet
corn, onions, spinach. beets and the
like-quickly maturing crops that are
greatly injured sby b ing suddenly
checked in their growth by drought in
the early part of the yNlr.
The roller must follow the harrow to
secure the best influences of dew.
where the surface is kept pulverized
and compact the flow of soil moisture
is kept almost constant through capil-
larry attraction--the air moisture at
tracing that of the soil and vice versa.
We have yet much to learn regarding
the scientific cultivation of crops. as
well also regarding the scientific prep
aration of the soil to receive the seed

SAVANNAH DEsPERADO KILLED.

Darien Gazette: a colored man h.
the name of Sam McIver, alias Scep-
ter Levine was shot and killed by
Deputy Sheriff James Holland. and his
brother, MIR. George Holland, at Ar
dock, about seven miles from Darien,
on Sunday last, while endeavoring to
arrest the man whom they thought was
the party wanted in North Carolina
for murder. The man was told to
throw up his hands which he partially
did, but when an effort was made to
handcuff him McIver reached down
and picked up a club and struck one
of the Hollands over the head, and
then pulled his pistol and shot twice
at the officer but his aim was not
good and the Messrs. Holland got the
drop on McIver and killed him in self
defense. A letter was found in his
pocket which disclosed the fact that
he was not the man from North Car
DINA. but a desperate from Savannah,
who had said that he would die before
were perfectly justifiable in what they
being arrested. From all we can gath
er it seems that the Messrs. Holland
did. We understand that a colored man
by the name of McDuffie. was an eye
witness to the killing and coroborated
the statement of the others present.

WIFE AND AGRICULTURIST.

Improving on Native Dewberry-The
Roller rs an Implement of CuItivn-
tion-The Fight Against Insects.
Locust Pests-Shredding Corn FOd-
der.
Inquirer" writes as follows: 'Hav-
ing read considerably about the culti-
waited dewberry in Texas have been
considering the matter for some time
of making the attempt of bringing our
own native kind into cultivation in my
garden, hoping at the same time to ac-
complish some improvement in their
quality. If possible. 1 do not know
how many distinct varieties of dew
berries there are in our woods. but I
do know there are at least two, the
better of which is as fine a berry as
one need care to have upon the tea
or breakfast table. 1t is a long and
luscious berry, and would no doubt
meet with a ready sale in any mar
ket, especially in the absence of other
berries. This berry averaged one inch
in length and now and then some
would be found nearly two inches long
and fully half inch in diameter. Fully
ripe, they were as luscious berry as
sugar and cream might cover. I'm
pressed with the idea of their value
and desire to cultivate them for home
use, l have the berry bushes marked
in the woods during the bearing sea-
son, and later on in the fall (Novem-
ber) l have 200 plants transferred to
my garden. They were pruned back
closely, and carefully set out. All lived
but unfortunately they were set too
near some peach trees and the roots
and branches of the trees have so en-
croached upon the berry vines the lat
ter do not give much promise of bear
ing fruit this season. l will probably
have to remove them to a more open
space this fall. In a wild state these
berries thrive under shade and very
close to large trees, but that does not
prove that they would thrive under
bearing peach trees. The conditions
existing in the wild woods could not
well be initiated in an ordinary gar
den even if it were advisable to at
tempt it.
Il wish to ask if it would not be bet
ter to treat the dewberry as rasp-
berry? Stake the plants or provide a
trellis having a row of plants on each
side of the trellis?" The two rows
should be fully three feet apart, with
the wire trellis in the middle. If
planted in hills and no trellis used the
hills should have distance of AKA or
3X4 feet. l have no doubt it would be
a good idea to mulch the ground thor
oughly about the hills after the plants
have become well established. The
stakes should be substantial and the
vines kept to them with the help of a
strand or two of wire. If any reader
of the News has had any experience
with cultivating dewberries l hope he
will give whatever information he may
have acquired concerning them. l re-
gard it as a very interesting subject,
and perhaps others may come to do
likewise. And L don't know but what
our native persimmon also may some
day come in for share of interest.

Geo. W. Hooker Dead.

Col. Geo. W. Hooker died suddenly
Wednesday shortly after nine O'Clock
at his home in Brattleboro, of heart
disease. Two weeks ago while in
Springfield, Col. Hooker sustained the
first attack of heart disease and on
his return that day suffered a second
attack. Since then he had expert
enced one or two other attacks but
despite this he was not considered in
a serious condition, and his sudden
death has come as a distinct shock to
the community with whose business
and social life he had been so long
and prominently Identified. Colonel
Hooker was a man of wide acquaint-
ance and had attained prominence
in politics of national as we'll as State
Importance. OF late years he had de-
voted the greater part of his energies
to the building up of the overall busi-
ness of Hooker, Corser & Mitchell,
which is one of Brattleboro's large
industries, employing at the present
time 200 hands. He was president of
the State Agricultural Society, the
Valley Fair Association of Brattleboro.
