high-priced thoroughbreds at West
bury L. l. On his estate among the
Wheatly Hills Mr. Whitney has a SUI
perb stable for thoroughbreds, proba-
bly, the finest structure of the kind in
the world Ever since he has owned
running horses he has wintered them
at Westbury, and the passing of each
winter has left them only the wrecks
that were turned into the box stalls
there in the autumn. This winter the
Whitney horses will have winter quar-
tiers at Aiken, where he already has
one of the finest stables in the South,
and to which he will add a number
more stalls before it is time to send
the horses to stable for the winter. He
has a very high opinion of the climate
of Aiken, for horses as we'll as hui
mans, and has found it the best place
in this country to keep race horses
during the winter. Mr. Whitney now
is about to do just what Mr.. Thomas
Hitchcock has done for some time. He
realized the great value of the Aiken
climate for race horses some years
ago. Here they can take exercise in
the open air nearly every day in the
winter instead of being confined to
their stalls by long spells of inclem-
ent weather.

NEWS OF 3 STATES.
NEWS NOTES FROM GEORGIA,
FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.

Atlanta Journal: From the far Lone
Star State a football team will come
this year to do battle with the leading
Southern teams on the gridiron. The
University of Texas is planning to send
an eleven east this year that will make
a bid for the South's championship. A
letter has been received by the man
agement of the University of Georgia
football team asking for a game with
the eleven that is to represent that in
stitution this year. The letter states
that the University of Texas is plan
ming to send a team east, and that
games are being arranged with Van
derbilt, North Carolina, probably Sc
vance and other leading Southern
teams. The Texans will not be able
to make the trip unless a sufficient
number of games can be arranged, and
they are very anxious to get a game
with the University of Georgia and the
Tech. Should a game be played be-
tween either the University of Texas
and the University of Georgia or be-
tween Texas and the Tech it will prob
ably take place in Atlanta, and the
fanatics here will have an opportunity
of seeing the big, braWny fellows play
the great college game. 1t has been
some time since Texas sent a football
team this far east, and a game on
Georgia soil would undoubtedly draw
big crowd. Texas usually has a strong
team, and her eleven this year is ex
pected to be one of the best in her his
tory.

In the broad domains of agriculture
there are many beautiful sights here
and there to delight the eye, and
which also may in time fill the purse
of some one. In one case it may be
a broad field of many acres of cotton
with an Average yield OLA bale to the
acre, or it may be a like expanse of
corn with its promise of 60 or IS bush
els per acre.
1t may be a pretty orchard of thou
sands of luscious "Elbertas" coloring
by the rays of July sun. 1t may be
an orange grove rich in promise with
its golden fruit
There are scores of pretty scenes in
farm or garden or orchard, but is there
any single one that delights the eye
of the practical farmer more than a
field of Bermuda grass-let it be TWEEN
ty or let it be a hundred acres, in its
fullest development, solid mass of
luxuriant grass eighteen inches high
weed to be seen it in. 1t is
surely a pretty sighl.
All over this Southern country such
a sight should be multiplied many
thousands of times. Thousands of
acres now being devoted to corn and
yielding with all its cultivation less
than fifteen bushels of grain per acre!
How much better il would be il such
lands were converted into Bermuda
pasture or meadows with its due al
lotment of cattle to convert it into
cash.
Some day the South will awake to
her royal opportunity and she will
see prosperity such as has never been
hers before. The firm basis OF 1t viii

from this stubble. We do not generally
use it in the south for syrup making
because | suppose the sugar cane is
preferred for that purpose, but l al
ways grind a little of it every year
and make a few gallons of syrup, as
it comes in at a time of year when
there is a call for fresh syrup, and
it always goes in a hurry. But it is
for a fall crop, succeeding some other
crop that it comes in the most useful
as forage crop, and this year it
comes in doubly so owing to the
drouth having cut so many crops short.
: Sorghum, if planted any time in Au-
gust will still make a good crop in all
the Gulf States. The land for the
crop must be thoroughly plowed and as
good a seed bed as it is possible to
make prepared for it. Fertilizing for
the best results ought to be on lib
eral scale, and applied broadcast and
worked thoroughly into the soil a week
or ten days before planting The
analysis of the fertilizer used should be
high in both nitrogen and potash
These are the most expensive of our
fertilizer ingredients, but 1t is both
bulk and quality we are after in this
crop, and to get these we must apply
a proper grade of fertilizer When pos
sible to get it, the analysis of the fer
tilizer should be as near as possible:
phoric acid, and to per cent nitro
gen. from 500 to 5000 lbs. per acre
of this on the best of our piney wood
lands will give very satisfactory
crop. If, however, the soil is in a good
condition physically and has been al
ways kept up in fertility, this quantity
could be profitable doubled.
For fall forage. when we expect to
get but one cutting, broadcasting the
seed and working it into the soil by
means of either harrow of cutaway and
finishing by rolling the land is really
the most satisfactory. For spring
planting, when we. expect to make
several cuttings. drilling it about three
feet apart Is the best way, and after
every cutting there should be a little
more fertilizer added and worked in
with the cultivator. But when it is
broadcasted, it should be sown thick
and when it gets ready to shoot out
for seeding, it should be cut and cured
as hay, and a little fertilizer added
and either weeder or harrow used to
work it in. This young stubble and
new growth makes excellent hog past
ure.

BOY "ARMLEss WONDER DEAD.
Russell Brown Used Feet as Others
Use Their Hands.
From the Baltimore Sun.

IOHl liC OdiJllllOIc GUN.
Binghamton, N. Y, Aug. 22.-Russell
Brown, aged 10 years, who was known
over Central and Southern New York
as an "armless wonder" died at his
mothers home here to-day, after a
short illness of diphtheria. The child
was born without arms, but showed a
wonderful natural dexterity in using
his feet and toes.
His toes were as pliable and con-
trollable as fingers, and there were
few things that other boys could do
that Russell did not practice until he
could repeat them. He always wore
light kid shoes, covering his feet as
far forward as the ball, leaving his
toes exposed. With these members he
could handle knife and fork at the
table, pick up the smallest articles
from the floor and hold book and
write exceptionally we'll for a boy.
His chief accomplishment, however,
was his skill with a violin, and on
this instrument he was an adept The
instrument, of course, was placed on
some object under his feet. and he
played many difficult compositions. A
bicycle fitted with a steering bar
against which his shoulders rested

horse was another of his favorite pas

use of the boy for exhibition purposes

HOTEL PROPERTY SOLD.

Jacksonville Times-Union and Citi-
zen: 1t is stated upon good authority
that a deal was made last week for the
sale of the Sarasota Hotel property, To-
Gated at Sarasota, and owned by a
stock company composed of citizens of
Tampa, of which company H. l..
knight was president. John Savarese
vice president, r. A. Crowell secretary,
and A. c. Clewis treasurer. TIE name
of the purchaser has not vet been Civ
en- out, but 1t was stated by one of the
officials of the stock company that the
property had been sold TO a railroad
syndicate. This naturally leads TO the
conclusion that the Seaboard Air Line
has bought the hotel, and will extend
its line from Braidentown 10 Sarasota
and operate the hotel as a tourist re-
sort. The price received FOR the prop
erty was not given out, but IL was
learned that II did not cover the orig
inal cost OF the hotel.

powerful pump for COMPRISING air
The men about the factory have been
accustomed to turning a small cur
rent of air on their clothes to dust
them off. The air is conveyed from
the tank through hose furnished with
a nozzle similar to a garden hose
Elmer Cook, on finishing his days
labor, took the nozzle to dust off his
clothes. The air was turned on slightly
and small jet was blowing the dust
from his clothing when Reap appear
ed 1t is said i'll feeling had existed
between the men. Reap, it is alleged
tried to seize the nozzle for his use
and Cook objected. He is then said
to have snatched the nozzle from
Cook, and. placing it against Cooks
body, turned on the full force of the
compressed air
The air hurled Cook across the
room, and he became violently ill., dy-
Ing in a, short time. An autopsy show
ed that the air had ruptured the in

issued a warrant for Reap's arrest. He
was arraigned in court and entered a
plea of not guilty.

Insect Enemies of Tobacco.

Great damage is done every season
to growing tobacco by numerous in
sects. Beginning with fieas in the
plant beds until the last plant is cut,
and even after hanging, the grower
has to fight insects on his precious to-
bacco leaves. Those that annoy the
planter most through July and August
are grasshoppers, green worms, stink
bugs, bud flies, katydids and fieas. The
most formidable foe, on account of
his evasiveness, Is the grasshopper. 1t
is almost impossible to catch stray in
dividuals, and utterly impossible to
catch swarms of them.
There is a widespread but erroneous
idea that the grasshoppers come from
meadows and roadsides, and that
cloth covered areas are free from
them. A trip through a tobacco tent
will soon dispel this illusion. The hop
per that is the terror of tobacco fields
is born and bred right in them. Any
one that will take the trouble to look
will find, about the middle of July,
young green hoppers in the middle of
his tobacco fields, perhaps a long dis
lance from any grass lots. These soon
turn a yellowish color and are then
ready for business. Luckily, they do
not appear very general; but where
they do, they finish a piece of tobacco
in short time, if not attended to at
once by spraying with some compound
that is fatal to them and harmless to
the tobacco.
The other insect that can only be
COPIED with by spraying, on account of
its great numbers and evasive ways,
is the flea. Planting potatoes, toma-
toes, cabbages or other crops. that the
flea is fond of, adjoining tobacco
fields, will make the f1eas that infest
them attack the tobacco as soon as the
tops of these crops lie down. The green
worms are more easily held in check
by persistently picking them off. be-
ginning when they are very small.
Katydids are very easily picked.
