increase in the pasturage. especially of
white clover Then if a pile of coal
ashes is let remain undisturbed for a
good while it seems to decay and de-
velops capacity to support plant life
out of proportion to the analysis.
once had a pile of this character that
had been allowed to remain and settle
into a compact mass. Right on top the
pile a tomato plant started voluntar
lily. 1t was left undisturbed and grew
and grew till il covered the whole heap.
That plant gave me more tomatoes
than any two of the plants in the gar
den, which had the best of attention,
and il had absolutely nothing TO grow
in but the ashes, for the pile was too
large for the roots 10 reach the soil.
Part of this was due probably TO the
fact that an old settled pile of coal
ashes retains moisture al bout as well as
anything, and what little of plant food
there was in the pile was easily Access
sible to the roots which filled the whole
heap. 1 have used the ashes since then
as mulch and fne them excellent for
the retaining of moisture around
plants. l have rendered a piece of very
compact clay in my garden as mellow
as an ash heap by the use of coal
ashes. Sifted ashes mixed with just
enough gas tar to make them crawl
and then packed down in walks and
stable floors will make as good walks
and floors as any cement ever made,
and far better, in my opinion.

The all-steel wagons are all right. At
least, they give perfect satisfaction
here. If you do not follow the oats
with peas the best thing you can do is
to SOW red clover this spring on the
field. Sow on frosty morning in late
February or early March, and the
thawing will cover the seed. Use twelve
to fifteen pounds of seed per acre.

NEWS NOTES FROM GEORGIA,
FLORIDA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Augusta Tribune declares that
Augusta is now a bad place to die in
for the very simple reason that no one
can be buried. The trouble is that the
heavy rains and high water have flood
ed all the cemeteries. and that grave
fills with water as fast as the earth
is taken out. The old or lower ceme-
terry is in bad condition, the new West
End Cemetery has been interdicted by
the Board Of Health, and the smaller
cemeteries around the city are either
closed up OF flooded.

TRIMMED by SAVANNAH spoRrs.

Jacksonville Metropolis: The local
sports are sad. very sad, in conse-
ouence of a visit from three Georgia
boys. who came over to visit the Jack
sonville contingent last Tuesday night
from Savannah. Ii is said by the know
ing ones that the visitors had all kinds
of money, and that it proved a fine in
centive to stir W the hospitality of
the home boys, who could not find
anything too good for the Georgians.
The party proposed a little game, which
a once caught the crowd, as they were
all in the business. They hied them
selves TO certain place, and the game
began. and was continued through the
night. The Georgians showed them
selves to be fast and furious players,
with lots of sporting blood. The good
CID game of crap" was the one played,
and the home boys were not so slow
themselves. Small bets grew to big
ores. and the stakes got to be some
thing above the ordinary after short
time. When gray dawn announced
the birth of another day to the play
ers, the home sports were willing to
quit. and counted themselves just 81 ,040
losers. The visitors expressed them
selves as having had a big time, and
were loud in their compliments of the
Jacksonville boys hospitality The
Georgians promised to return when
the home boys recovered from the
shock.

TOOK PoLIcEMAN's GUN AWAY.


Jacksonville eMtropolis: Some time
ago. a negro supposed to be "Savan-
nah Bill" a notorious negro desperado,
amused himself IN the tenderloin dis
trict by making targets out of several
negroes while at pistol practice. Bill
went into seclusion to elude arrest and
succeeded in carrying his point. This
morning Officer johnson was patroling
his beat in LaVilla, and when near the
intersection of Davis and Ward streets,
he espied a negro supposed to be "Sa-
vannah Bill" Johnson approached the
negro cautiously from behind and
quickly took hold of him and placed
his man under arrest, but in a second
the prisoner turned and threw pistol
in the officers face, at the same time
catching hold of Johnson's pistol hol-
ster in such a way as to keep the Off
Ger from getting it. The negro threat
ened to shoot Johnson if he made a
move and the desperate was the mas
ter of the situation. He took the po-
licemans pistol out of the holster and
armed with two ugly looking weapons
quietly walked off and made his es-
cape. Officer Johnson, much chagrin-
ed over his loss of both prisoner and
his pistol, reported the occurrence to
the police station, and a squad of po-
lice was detailed at once to scour the
city and suburbs for the fugitive, but
without success.

Atlanta Constitution: The following
communication is from a citizen who
received his training in the Bethesda
Orphanage. the well-known institution
established by George Whitfield and of
which Col j. II. Estill has been pres
ident for the last twenty-five years:
Editor Constitution: With no desire
to enter into a political discussion, even
if / were able, but in viewing the names
of the candidates for Governor, l see
one name, that of Col. J. H. Estin,
which should appeal to every poor
workingman in the state. Under Mr..
Estilrs management of the Bethesda
Orphans Home. for a quarter of a CEN
fury, he has trained hundreds of good,
honest citizens all over the state, who,
when the time comes will cast their
ballGts for him. If Col. Estill is able
to train a poor mans son to good citi-
zenship at Bethesda, he certainly is
able to take charge of the affairs of
the state. Go out to the home and the
hundred or more little glad hearts who
would otherwise be friendless and alone
if not for such good men as Col. Estill.

The signing of the irrigation bill by
the president, recently, will attract pub
lie attention to the scope of the measure
and its vast possibilities in the develop
ment of productive areas out of barren
deserts, an enterprise that will ulti-
mately provide homes for 100000 peo-
pie.
An important and interesting feature
of the law is the provision made for lin
iting the sale of lands to bona fde set
tiers and the provision that not more
than 100 acres shall go to any n per-
son in n tract This opens the way to
the home seekers of the crowded east
ern cities and gives assurance that no
large tracts of the public domain will
come into possession of mi man or n
corporation.
Aside from the reclamation of a vast
empire, embracing 100000 acres OF
arid lands, the enlistment of national aid
on a scale of great magnitude has a far
reaching commercial interest that con-
Germs every section of the union. 1t was
this commercial interest that prevailed
against the opponents of the measure.
who maintained that it would seriously
affect present farm values and that it
was unfair to farmers Of other states"
These assailants of the bill took no &C
count of the vast market for machinery
and manufactured products of the south,
east and middle west that would be op-
ened by the settlement of 100000
acres that are now ~unoccupied.
One of the reasons why federal aid for
irrigation has been deferred so long is
because the arid lands have no votes

POULTRY POINTERS.

n Pure water is more essentis; than
clean grass.
Even though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them go
without proper feeding. "
Everything in the rearing Of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until well feath-
cred.
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying. q
Middlngs make good food for poul-
try, but il wet up alone it is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
a Whitewash is better than paint on
the poultry houses, for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying influ-
ence. It may be applied as often as
once month to advantage. "
4 The properties Of sunfower seed are
peculiar, and a small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
imparting to the plumage Of adult
fowls a gloss that no other grain will
produce.
