NAMES FINE MONUMENT.
State Erects One to Her Dead at
AnderSonVilIe.

G. E. Taylor of Maine has been in
Americas for several days, his firm
having the contract to erect the
Maine state monument in Anderson
vile national cemetery. This monu-
ment, like the Others erected there by
northern states, is a handsome one,
costing $1,000. It's total height is 36t
feet. 1t is eight feet square at the
base, and the die is four feet square.
The shaft proper is little over Is feet
TALL being three feet square at the
base and tapering slightly. Near at
it's bottom on it's front side is the state
coat of arms in bronze, the only thing
about the monument that is not of
granite. Just above iJ is the word
"Maine."

A VAST ENTERPRISE.
Peters Cartridge Company Has
Most Complete Ammunition
Plant in the World.

Much is heard in these days about
giant INDUSTRIES their marvellous
rise from small beginnings and the
genius of the men who have made
such advancement possible. Some
of the most remar kable of these enter
prises are conducted in a quiet way
without blare of Urumpets, so that the
public at large does not know their
magnitude. For instance, how many
people know that located in the south
western part of Ohio is the most COM
plete establishment for the manufact-
ure of ammunition in the world? Yet
this is the literal truth. 1t is safe to
say that comparatively few OF the
millions who have enjoyed and profted
by the use of Peters cartridges and
loaded ;, shells have any adequate
knowledge of the factories where these
goods are made. The buildings OF the
Peters Cartridge Co. aggregate floor
space of almost 200 900 square feet, to
which additions are constantly being
made. They are crowded with machln-
cry of latest design, much of it auto
matte and producing almost incredible
results, and all in charge of men OF
large experience and great success in
their special lines. The output i'll all

ally.
The statement that this company OPP
crates the most complete ammunition
plant IN the world is made adv1sedlyl
for while producing the greatest va
riety of goods of any cartridge factory
In the world it does what no other
concern attempts-make practically
everything entering into the complete
shell or cartridge of whatever kind
except some of the rawest parts OF the
raw materials and some of the nitro
powders. The result is this company

are sent out shells bearing the familiar

STEVENS ON FARMERS
Savannah Paper Likes the Opti-
mism of the Commissioner
of Agriculture.

| The Savannah Press, in an editorial
article, says of Commissioner of Agri--
| culture 0. r. Stevens:
Among the many excellent qualities
possessed by Hon. 0. B. Stevens, COM
missioner of agriculture, is that of OPP
timism. He doesn't talk about hard
times all the time when discussing the
affairs of the farmers of Georgia. Mr..
Stevens always looks upon the bright
side Of things. Caterpillars and boil
weevils even do not shake his faith In
the future of the farmer OF Georgia.
He always believes that there 10 good
time ahead, and not SO very far ahead
at that. He talked the present situa-
tion over with representative of The
Press in Atlanta yesterday. What he
said should sound as a note of encour-
agement to every man who tills the
soil in this state.
He said there is very general feel
ing of prosperity among the planters
of the state. The country districts are
building new school houses, the resi-
dence of the farmers are being paint
ed and repaired, and barns and other
structures are responding to the touch
of the carpenter and the man with the
tool box. The spirit Of progress is in
the air all over the state, and 10 no
particular section only is there sign
of progress. The mountain section
and the wiregrass share equally in
this era OF good times.
This is the proper spirit in which to
approach the people. The pessimist is
never welcome, but the man who looks
upon the bright side wins the conf
dence and good will of his fellows.
Mr.. Stevens knows the Georgia farmer
is prosperous, and it Is pleasure Tor
/ him to tell him so.

mentioned, the size is optional with the

where the lever forms the main right
angle, the rod, or rather rods, for there
are two at this point, should be heated
and fiattened out so as to allow of hole
being made to receive the bolt that holds
the lever on the box. On the hinged
bottom an iron clip is attached and
twisted "a way around in such a manner
that a hole in the small clip receives
the bent end Of the rod or lever so as to
complete a latch. AS the dotted lines

Description Of n Device Recently Pat
ented by Progressive Cali
fGrnia Fruit Grower

Farming century ago consisted prin-
cipally of planting the seed, keeping
out the weeds and waiting for the har-
vest, with little or no conception of the
chemical processes through which the
soil induced the plant growth, and, con-
sequently, no knowledge of how the
plant growth could be forced by the adj
dition to the soil of the chemical con-
stituents which were lacking. Likewise
the apples and small fruits were looked
upon as side issue, which must be left
largely to chance in producing profit
able crops. Gradually, however, a
change has come about, until now the
farmer performs his labor as scientist
with the aid of the agricultural college
and government and state experiment
stations and agricultural Institutes.
With this knowledge has come the ne
cessity of better appliances for inducing
healthy plant growths and guarding
against diseases, both in fruits and veg
etables. A century ago the idea Of

How Roots of Lesuminous Plants
Change Free Nitrogen of the
Air Into Soil Nitrates.

The farmer is not generally looked
upon as a manufacturer. Yet on his
lands and under them, on the roots Of
all leguminous plants, there are at
work the microscopic creations that
labor in changing the free nitrogen
of the air into soil nitrates that may
be used by the plants. Every nodule
on the root of plant is an immense
factory. 1t may be smaller than a
pea, yet in it are multitudes of the lit
tie workers. They existed from the be-
ginning of the development of legum-
lnosae on the earth; but man has
only recently discovered them. Be-
lore ne understood that they were the
friends of man, he regarded these
factories as symptoms Of plant dis
eases, and various remedies were in
vented for the cure of the said dis
eases. But later such efforts were
found to be misplaced, and it was
recognized that these same tubercles
were part of the machinery of Mother
Nature, by which she kept the soil
supplied with the so-readily soluble
forms OF nitrogen, which aloae can
be taken up by the roots of plants
