The soil should not be allowed to
"berry out" but the bed should be
changed after every two full crops.
That is, plants set now should be al
lowed to fruit in 1904 and 1905. At
ter that they should be turned under
a new bed being planted in the
spring of 1905 to bear in 1905 and
1907. The quantity of berries that
can be gathered from any small plot,
thus treated is astonishing. A quart
of luscious berries from each plant is
not at all impossible.
Currant and gooseberry bushes
can be planted along the shadiest
edge of the grape t%rellis. If the trel-
lis runs east and west plant them on
the north side; if from north to
south, plant on the east side. A par
tial shade is best for them in warm
climates. Both need about the same
manuring as the strawberry and as
does the grape.
Dewberries follow close on the
beds of the strawberry, and every
garden should have a few dozen
vines at least. They can be planted
three feet apart, anywhere there is
room, and trained up to strips or to
a t%rellis. Well kept they are highly
ornamental and bear enormously of
an exceedingly wholesome and lus-
cious fruit if allowed to get perfectly
ripe.
A few dozen blackberry plants set
same distance apart as the ~dewberry
will prolong the fruit season several
weeks later still.
The same manuring recommended
for strawberries will answer for dew
berries and blackberries.

The mare is probably suffering
from indigestion. She should re-
ceive regular, but moderate exercise.
Her feed should be light for a week
and then gradually increased so that
at the end of two or three weeks she
will be receiving a full feed. The
food should possess variety and be
given regularly. Changes of food
should be avoided.
Give internally night and morning
one dram of sulphate of iron and one
grain of sulphate of strychnine.
Good grooming and a clean dry
stable will aid in the improvement in
her condition.

material increase In the acreage of
tobacco this year and announce an
unusual activity among the farmers
in preparing for the planting of the
crop.-New Bern Journal.
The tobacco growers are the
busiest farmers we have this season.
They are planting beds and preparing
to build more barns for the coming
crops. The acreage in Duplin and
adjoining counties this year will ex-
coed 1902 by Is per cent. While the
tobacco crop last year paid well
throughout the State, yet, there are
very good reasons why the crop this
year will not pay so well. The union
of the two great tobacco companies
is certainly the best evidence that
the price will be much lower. And
a tremendous crop on the other hand
is very plausible excuse, too.-Duplin
Journal.

We understand that Mr.. Covington

and Mr.. Rod McRae about 40 acres.
We also hear that Mr.. J. P. McRae

Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer
In the course of an interview to-day
with Franklin Sherman, the State
entomologist, who has just returned
from an inspection of orchards, he
was asked if there was much San
Jose scale in the State. He replied:
"There is plenty of scale. So far as
I now know it exists in about 80 diff
ferent localities, on about $50 prem
Uses, and on something like 10000
trees. Peaches are most affected;
apples next. I know of scale in three
localities west of the Blue Ridge,
these being Dillsboro, Waynesville
and Mica. I found plenty of scale
in the Hughes peach orchard of
1000 trees near Greesboro; I also
found scale pretty nearly everywhere
in the vicinity of ElIenboro and Shell
by. As I have said, it is pretty even
ly distributed over the State"
Tarboro Southerner: On a basis
of 21,OOO bales of cotton raised in
this county last year the value of the
cotton seed is no insignificant item.
After allowing $4,000 bushels for
seed there would remain to be sold,
or exchanged for meal or hulls, about
$4,000 bushels, which at the present
prices are worth $165,OO0 or more.
This is what these seed were worth
to the farmers. If the oil were ex-
tracted from all it would be worth

price of tobacco, l n consequence OF
the combination of the two tobacco
trusts, will no doubt cause our tobac-
co farmers to reduce their crop this
year.
Farmers at Arnold and other
places in Davidson County are max
ing preparations for the largest crop
of tobacco that has ever been raised
in Davidson. The plant beds RI now
being burned preparatory to sowing
the seed. This renewed enthusiasm
in the cultivation of the weed is no
doubt due to the high prices which
prevailed last fall.-Exchange.
Wilson Times: Lights in various
directions at night show that our
farmers are beginning to prepare
plant-beds for the coming season.
The farmers of the clay section of
Nash County will put in tobacco this
year, it being their only money crop,
while others will diversity their
crops, more wheat, more oats, more
grasses, more clover, pease, potatoes,
etc.
Wilson News: The tobacco acreage
of Wilson County will be considera-
bly, reduced this year while the cot
ton acreage will be ~appreciably in
creased.-The exact amount of to-
bacco sold on the Wilson tobacco
warehouse floors during the month of
January was 1,368,383 pounds. The
total sales for the season amount to
2O,O25, 92O. The total sales for the
same period last season amounted to
100000 pounds, showing an in
crease of nearly seven million
pounds.
Gen. M. W. Ransom last Monday
sold 1900 bales of cotton of his 1902
crop and realized therefor the sum
of over $4,000. He received for the
cotton nine cents all around net
cash. General Ransom is devoted to
farm life and since his retirement
from the United States Senate he
has given much of his time and at
tention to the accumulation of real
estate, preferring to put his money
in taxable values rather than in nom
taxable bonds and securities.-Roan

Smithfeld Herald: Mr.. j. W.
Hinnant, foreman for Messrs. Julian
and David Barbour on their old home
farm, was here recently and from
him we learn something of their last
years farming. They raised $50
bales of cotton on 100 acres, 625
bushels of wheat and 1900 bushels of
oats on IS acres. Where they raised
wheat and oats they raised $500
worth of pea-vine hay. They raised
on same farm 400 barrels of corn
and between the corn they raised SOC
bushels of peas. Such farming as
that pays.

How to Lay OFF a Fruit Garden.
editor Of The Progressive Farmer:

have had so many requests 1or
advice as to how to arrange the part
Of the kitchen garden given over to
fruit that I should like to reply in
q general way, making one stone kill
many birds, or with one word quiet
many querists. This, too, is the most
onportune season for such advice,
spring being the time in which most
planting of fruit is done.
If the garden has a walk (and
every piece of ground aspiring to the
dignity of a garden should have a
walk) an arcade of grapes should be
framed over it. 1t is simple and not
very expensive, and "a be carried
out within two or three years. Plant
along each side of the walk grape
vines six feet apart. Concord,
Moore's Early and Ives are the surest
bearers. Some Niagara and Della
ware should be intermingled for their
beautiful effect, and they bear well.
As the vines come on, say the Sec
ond year, have a trellis over the walk
to train them on. This trellis can
be rough and inexpensive or more
costly in proportion to what you
wish to spend on it. The vines will
soon cover it for the greater part of
the year, converting it into a thing
of beauty. AS the vines will last for
a generation it is wise to have the
supports of a substantial nature,
though this need not cause much ex-
pense. White oak or heart pine post
with wire stretched from post to
post, and overhead will not cost much
and will last twenty years. A more
ornamental trellis can be made by
I having ribs of two inch heart pine
plank sawed so as to arch over the
walk, meeting in the center. The
wires can be stretched on these ribs
and also from post to post.
The effect is exceedingly beauti-
full the whole time the grape vines
are in bloom. When the clusters of
black, purple, red, pink and green
grapes hang down over the walk in
almost a solid canopy it becomes a
wonder. Scuppernong grapes can
be grown the same way.
The strawberry bed should be nest
led IN the warmest corner of the gar
den. To the south of a building is
an ideal place. As space is of value
IN most gardens, only the most pro-
Inc varieties should be grown.
these are neither the very early or
very late kind. There are standard
medium early varieties which will
give an abundance of excellent fruit
through a long season, such as Bran
uyWlne, Seaford, Howell, Cumber-
land Triumph, etc.
Inc strawberry bed should be made
very rich but not with an excessive
quantity of stable manure alone.
stable manure and wood ashes make
perfect manur and can be liber-
ally used provided they are thor
Oughly mixed with the soil.
Inc plants should be set about Is
inches apart each wav b,,+ bo+uoo,

Treatment for an Unhealthy Horse.

Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
I have a fve-year-old mare that
will not thrive. She seems to be
hearty, but will not gain in flesh as
she ought to do for the amount of
grain she consumes. Her coat is
rough, and something appears in her
coat resembling dandruff on the
scalp. Can some good horseman tell
me what is the ailment, and the
treatment? Please answer through
the columns of The Progressive
Farmer. Any information will be
appreciated.

NEW HAMPSHIRE CHARTER PROBABLE
Corporations Committee Give the Connecticut
River Power Bill Hearing Sub. Commit
tee Here Today.

A hearing was held Wednesday be-
fore the corporation committee of the
New Hampshire legislature on the bill
to incorporate the Connecticut River
Power company of New Hampshire.
The passage of this bill is necessary
before any steps can be taken toward
building dam across the Connecticut
river at Brattleboro. Those who ap
peared in favor of the charter were {.
C. Fits, G.. A. Harris, W. ii, Brack-
ett and L. D. Taylor of Brattleboro,
&c. III. Hersey and F. c. Faulkner of
Keene. N, H. Gardner S. Howe Of
Hinsdale and O, f. Randall of Ches
terfield The opposition was compos-
ed of Cheshire county farmers led by
Senator T. Nelson Hastings of Wal
pole, y. H., objections being made to
the charter on the grounds that the
meadows along the river would be sub
merged in case of the erection OF a
dam and that sufficient payment for
damages would not be forthcoming.
The committee gave the bill full hear
ing and will probably make its report
next week. The fact that no opposi-
tion was shown on the part of the Bos-
ton a. Maine railroad makes those IN
tereSted IN the PROJECT nopelul oi its
success in the legislature.
A sub committee of the corporations
committee, composed of Messrs. Pres
ton of Henniker, Farrell and Nyberg
of Manchester and Holland of Hins-
dale, came to Brattleboro this morning
to look over the conditions relative to
a dam across the Connecticut and
make a report to the committee. The
committee is being shown the
points where dam would be likely to
be built and will return to Manchester
this afternoon. All of the members
seem to be favorable to the passage of
the bill, and if anything can be told
from their conversation its chances are
very favorable.
