coming more and more popular every year

family from st. Louis to come 70 the local
resorts. and for many years they stopped
annually at the Spring Lake Hotel The
number has been increasing year by year

Worms as Soil TiIers.

Perhaps no member of the animal
Kingdom has done so much in keeping
vegetation on the surface of the earth
as the earthworm, Notwithstanding the
fact that it is one OF the very lowest
of animals, says a writer in Farmers
Voice.
Living as It does in burrows. it pro-
vides channels through which mois-
ture, soluble plant food. and roots Of
plants which would otherwise stay
near the surface can easily penetrate.
These burrows pass straight down for
six or eight inches, when they change
to winding courses gradually getting
lower until they reach a depth of six
10 eight feet. In making his burrows
the eartbworm eats his way through
The soil BY this process all the soil
particles eaten by him are thoroughly
mixed and ground together In the d.
gestlve tract, whereby reducing them
IN size and 70 some extent making
them more soluble by the action OF
The digestive fluids OF the stomach so
THAI they can be used more readily as
plant food.
After the soil has been through the

done " night when the eRrthworm
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-12-31

made a careful study of the earthworm
IN its relation to the soil, estimated
that the average earthworm passes
through it's body about twenty ounces
OF soil per year, and that there are
ON an average $4,000 worms per acre.
Or one for each two square feet, MAX
ing a. little more than fifteen tons of
soil and humus brought up from I'M
derneath and deposited on the surface
OF every acre of land annually. This
is heavier manuring than is done by
the average Iowa farmers. He also
states that they cover the surface of
the earth at the rate of three inches
in fifteen years.
We can readily see that while the
soil is constantly being brought to the
surface other articles, such as stones
are gradually sinking. This in course
of time will free the surface soil of
these distractions on land that is not
cultivated or pastured.
One would naturally expect such I'M
protected animals to have enemies
which would destroy them, and so
they have. Enemies such as birds
and moles destroy countless numbers
of them; hence, when we exterminate
the English sparrow and ground MOLE
we not only protect our grain, fruit
and vegetables, but we also protect our
most useful friend, the earthworm.

Land intended for growing potatoes
next spring should be prepared this
fall, as the yield is found to be one
third greater when the blowing is
done in the autumn than just before
planting time, says the American Gull
tivator. The soil should be plowed
to a depth of twelve inches and
thoroughly narrowed. This treatment
allows the frost to penetrate the soil
readily, the action of the air upon the
HANGED, it's dries out quickly in spring
and with the first warm days is ready
for planting. Poor, light gravelly
soils yield small and few potatoes,
and in a dry season fail altogether
Heavy, tough cold clay are likewise
unfavorable The ideal potato land
is a warm, permeable, loamy sand or
light moorland, we'll drained, clean
and rich from the vegetable decay of
past ages. Soil containing large pro-
portions of sand produce potatoes of
the best flavor and highest percentage
of starch. The proper depth for plant
ing for sandy soils is four inches, for
loans three inches, and for heavy clay
two inches. In Germany seed pota-
toes are often planted whole, as it is
claimed that cutting the seed pota-
to impairs the vigor of that plant
which in it's earlier stages of growth
feeds upon the substance of the tuber
To obtain the best results the variety
of the potatoes grown on a given
patch should be changed from year to
year 1t is found that this expedient
causes the yield per acre to increase
in a remarkable manner. In general,
the red and so-called "blue-skinned"
potatoes are found to do better than
the white in damp localities, or where
the land is excluded from the free
action of the sun and wind.

C0URTING ON HORSEBACK.
The Only Way the HandhOIders of
Seville Can Get Together.


Seville Can Get Together.
From the Washington Star.
The Seville girls dress in bright col
ors and always wear flowers in their
hair. Except in Triana and on feast
days the local costumes are, obsolete,
and more is the pity.
Through the wide archway that forms
the entrance to every house you can
catch glimpses of most attractive patios
which are adorned to reflect the taste
Of their owners. Nearly all of them
have artistic marble fountains with
statues of more or less merit placed
against the background of palms of
banana trees and, following the Moor
ish custom, the life of the household
centers in these courts. The houses
have seldom more than two stories.
The street fronts are almost always
dead walls. broken by heavily barred
windows, and the Zaguan, or archway,
which is protected from intrusion by
handsome gate of wrought iron. Some
times the patio is covered with a glass
roof and movable awnings are arrang-
ed so as to shut out the sun. Here
the families receive their visitors and
spend most of their time except in the
rainy season. which drives them under
the thick tiled roofs.
The windows of the second floor al
ways have balconies which seem to
have been planned to meet the require
ments of courtship in Seville. Accord
ing to the custom of all the Latin races,
lovers are not allowed to become &C
quainted with their sweethearts until
after marriage, and Cupid must do his
work at long range. Young men must
not visit young women, but they can
talk together through the bars of the
windows on the lower story, or the girl,
like Juliet will hang over the ball
cony of the second-story window and
talk to her admirer in the street.
Often walking through the streets OF
Seville I have found the sidewalk
blockaded by horse which STANDS pa
tiently while it's rider makes love to
pretty girl in the window. From his
saddle he can reach her level and can
press her hand. while if he were on
foot he could only express his emotion
by the gestures that Spaniard or ltal-
ian can make so eloquent. After court
ship through the grating or from tpe
balcony has resulted in an under
standing the young man sends his
father or some friend as Cupid's ann
bassador to the father of the girl. The
match is arranged, the wedding day
is set. the bride and bridegroom meet
for the first time under circumstances
when they can exchange condolences,
and after the priest has pronounced the
benediction they can begin TO get &C
Quainted.

comes out of his burrow to feed, for a
snare of his food is dried grass and
leaves.
During the day our industrious
friend, being sensitive to light, closes
up his burrow with a plug made Of
leaves, small sticks, and such material
while he carries on his constructive
work. This plug serves to keep out
water to some extent, during a heavy
rain, which if it We're allowed to en-
ter the burrow would drown the earth
worm.
Some may think the earthworm
likes water and damp soil because he
is always found in such places. The
truth is this: He is found near the
surface in these places because there
is so much moisture lower down that
he is driven up in order to keep alive.
In ordinary soil he will be found a dis
lance below the surface.

Fla, the destruction by fire of the
commissary, store house and office of
W. L. Perkins, a prominent lumber
man Of that place. occurred this morn
ing. The fire was of incendiary ORR
gin.
1t is said that the watchmen saw
several men running away from the

Horse and Buggy Stolen.
DR.. Junius Talley Of Midtown was
in the city this morning on the trail
Of thieves who stole his horse and

TO this city, but lost the track here
The thieves first entered the store of
Clements, Lee & Co., and stole four
teen suits of clothes and a large GUAM
tity of merchandise of other kinds.
This, it is supposed, they packed in
the stolen buggy.
Persons here saw two negroes going
through the streets about daybreak
this morning with some large pack
ges in their buggy and they were
driving a horse which filed the de-
scription of DR.. Talleys. One of the
negroes escaped from Gress camps
yesterday. The other has been living
around Midtown for quite a while.
DR.. Talley has offered a reward of
$50 for the return of his buggy and
horse with evidence to convict the
thieves. 1t is believed they went to-
ward Florida from here.
Gin House Burned.
Sheriff Johns of Jasper reported this
morning that the gin house of Hon.
Frank Adams of Jasper was burned

They brought with them a satchel and
several other articles which the rob-
bers left behind them in their flight
from the place and they hoped to find
out to whom the articles belonged
They had something of clue and it
was probably strengthened by their
visit here.
