FIGHT WITH INSANE MAN.-James
X. Fitzgibbon, a patient at St. Eliza
beth's Asylum, d. c., who gained con-
siderable notoriety recently through sue,
cessful escapes from that institution, and
who was captured last Friday in North
Adams. Mass, was taken to Washington
and lodged in the asylum. His return
was far from voluntary, and it required
the united strength of four men to get
him from the railroad train to carriage
at the Pennsylvania station. Fitzglo-
bon's escapes were due to oyer-conh-
dence on the part of his attendants, VINO
regarded him as harmless and who COM
stantlv allowed him limited freedom,
of which he was not slow to take advan-
tape. In order to obviate the possibility
of another escape, when Fitzgibbon ar
rived at Washington yesterday morning
he was heavily handcuffed between two
guards. When the train pulled
into the station Fitzgibbon refused
TO leave the coach. Finally the two
guards summoned aid from the
EMPLOYEES of the railroad. Two brawny
negroes responded, and the four men
succeeded in landing the handcuiied
patient on the station platform. There
The real trouble began. From the polnt
where the party landed to the station
cate was about hundred yards, and
Fitzgibbon refused to either move or be
moved. There was a fierce battle, the
insane man delivering telling blows with
his manaced hands. He finally was
lodged on top of one of the baggage
trucks, where he was held by the four
men. while fifth pulled the Etruck and
incorrigible load down to the gate. lhe
patient had by this time exhausted all
| his strength and determination to resist
and meeEly entered carriage and was
conveyed to the asylum. Fritzgibbon is
physically perfect and weighs 1870 pounds.
The officers who accompanied him were
covered with bumps and bruises, which
they declared were due to violent con-
tact with the fists and heels OF the
patient. Fitzgibbon, it will be remem1
bered, was captured in Alexandria few
months ago and returned to st. Eliza
beth's.

not generally recognized as yet, but
when one remembers that from 800
to 500 pounds of gain can be made
on oats, soy beans and cowpeas with
out grain, and about double these
amounts with grain from each acre
of land, it is evident that they pro
vide the Southern farmer with the
e of producing very cheap pork;
as cheap, in fact, as can be produced
elsewhere when the cheap lands and
the large home market in the South
are taken into consideration. As
soon as the forage crop method of
pork production becomes more gen
orally understood and appreciated,
the number of hogs raised In the
South will materially increase"
Prof. P. o. Vanuatter does not
hesitate to say that acre for C r he
can produce more meat or milk-mak-
ing foods per year at less cost In the
South than he a make in the
North, and as he has had practical
experience in both regions, he ought
to speak as n having authority.

A Pecan Tree Worth $500.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
There is growing on my lot in Ra-
leigh a pecan tree that measures 3
feet from the ground, 9 feet around,
and has limbs on it 50 feet long. Tt
produced this year 200 pounds of
choice nuts, which my children are
selling for 20 cents per pound; as
nea as I can get the facts. Two
hundred pounds at 20 cents pei
pound means $40-10 per cent on
$4OO.
This tree is the product of a nut
brought from Texas 48 years ago,
and planted by the late James F.
Taylor. It has produced a crop to
my knowledge, every year of the 80
years it has been in my possession.
I advise the planting of pecans in all
this section. In good ground the
trees will bear in 6 to 8 years from
the planting of the nut. I have 9TH
er trees bearing, from nuts planted
from this tree.

DR.. E. A. Hall, of Bethany, has
brought us a sample of prolific corn
which grew on his place this year.
The corn is from seed which had
been selected from time to time by
the late Milton Morrison, of Beth
any, and it produces two, three and
four ears to the stalk. The corn was
brought up to this by selecting for
seed from time to time sound ears
where two or more grew on a stalk.
This year DIR. Hall found that corn
grew both at the top and bottom of
the stalks. On one stalk he found
two ears at the usual place and at
the ground, where the roots grew out
above the soil, two more ears had
grown fast to the roots. The latter
ears were small but the idea gives
hope.-Statesville Landmark.

DocsrBILITIEs OF STOCK RAISING
IN THE SOUTH.

Must Now Improve-The Drain Of the
One-crOp System Makes this NeeeS-
sary.
We have received a copy of the
CbicagoLive Stock World, "the first
farm daily in the world" and a strik-
inc illustration of the enterprising,
uide-awake spirit of the Western
farmers. In the number now before
rs the leading editorial is on Give
Stock in Dixie: Notes of a Trip to
the Sunny South" and Editor Halli-
Wells remarks are so interesting that
We repubIish them herewith for the
benefit of The Progressive Farmer
readers:
Every country, every region, al
most every county, has its advant-
ages.
The thing to do is to learn what
can best be grown or made in your
locality. and grow or make that thing.
In travelling about the country, one
is apt to draw conclusions as to the
fitness of any place to grow certain
crops by the presence or absence of
those crops.
In the South, however, this method
of Judging must be modified.
One will find in our beautiful Dixie
land, vast stretches of cattle country
without beef cattle; wonderful hog
country, and farmers buying both
hog and hominy; great stretches of
splendid sheep country, and be able
to ride for days at a time, on swift
trains, without seeing even the print
of those golden-hoofed animals.
We are all creatures of habit.
The richest tillers of the soil of the
original thirteen States were plant
ers of cotton and tobacco.
Only enough live stock was grown
to make meat, milk and butter, or
draw burdens incident to the work
on cotton or tobacco plantations.
When you know your land will
make a sure money CROP" and you
have been accustomed with all the
people around you to raising that
money crop" is it surprising that
you do not bother your head much
about the specialties of portions of
the country that cannot raise the
crops at which your country has ex-
Celed?
Believing a vast portion of the
South to be admirably adapted to
stock growing as well as general
larmln", the writer wanted the opin-
Ion OF Director Andrew M. Soule, of
me Tennessee Experiment Station.
The opinion of a man who has
learned his agricultural and live
STOCK lessons in a region where the
growing season is very short, and the
winter feeding season very long,
Ought to be a valuable guide. Espe-
UalIy IS the opinion of such a man
"Or'h while, when, by practical ex-
p%eflence, he has learned and is able

tonseed meal and soy bean meal to
balance up the ration; with an album
dance of leguminous hays for win
ter feeding; with a pasture from Ber-
muda grass and cereals through the
greater part of the year; with large
yields of rich silage because of the
legumes mixed with it, the Southern
farmer is certainly in a position to
produce very cheap beef, and GER
tainly has a great many decided adj
vantages over the Northern farmer.
WHERE BEEF FEEDING Is NEW.
"The beef feeding industry being
a new n in the South, these mat
tiers have not been studied as closely
as they will be in the future. On
the Tennessee station farm the pres
ent year, the gains from silage, cot
tonseed meal and corr and cob meal
approximated very closely those that
can be made on a good blue grass
pasture, and the carrying capacity
of Bermuda grass has also been
shown to be considerably in advance
of the blue grass sod. As a cost of
making a pound of gain, and the
consumption-of concentrates required
therefor, have been very low, there
is every reason to believe that beef
cattle on the cheap lands of the
South, with the abundance of food
crops that may be utilized, can be
produced for less than almost any
where else in the country.
"The Southern farmer has every
reason to be encouraged in the pro-
duction of pork. His natural ad-
vantages are such that he can pro
duce pork very cheaply indeed
through the medium of grazing crops
which can be so grown as to produce
a succession throughout the whole
year. By putting down winter ce-
real crops in the early autumn, say
about the first of September, he can
secure a good deal of grazing
through January and February, and
certainly all that he needs through
March, April and May. Spring sown
rape, seeded about the first of March,
will be available through June, and
by that time such early varieties of
the cowpea, as the New Era and War
ren's Extra Early, can be had for
July and August pastures. Soy beans
will then be available for September
and October, and after that peanuts
and artichokes until the beginning
of the new year.
PIGS IN PEAS.
"Pigs narrowed in the spring can
thus be produced very cheaply, as
they will have an abundance of pas
ture from the beginning. Several of
these crops, particularly the cowpea
and soy bean, will produce a large
amount of grain, insuring the de-
velopment of large frames. If the
farmer will feed along with this grain
all the Stops and skim milk available
on the farm, and in addition, from
