GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
BY S. A. COOK.

Peaches want light soils, cherries and
pears prefer heavy clay for -sor-
GUS growth and large fruit, but pears
are more subject to the blight in such
soil than they are in light, where
their extremities are not so succulent
and inviting to the blight bacteria.
The old pear tree in the lands of Long
Island and New Jersey may grow
more slowly than others in Western
New York on richer lands, but many
Of them live to a great age without
ever having been injured once by
blight. Vigorous growth with too much
moisture a the roots is the greatest
predisposing condition which invites
the blight Our stimulating climate
forces the pear to grow with little prov
ocation. Let us hope that we may, in
time in our light soils, otherwise so
favorable. learn to lead the pear along
in a quiet way-almost let-alone pol
icy-which will enable it to avoid Ibis
ailment, which is as fatal as consump-
ton to the human race.
The fig is another tree as fasttdious
as the orange. 1t simply wants TO be
let alone-if planted right. On the
high breezy, salty summit of a shell
mound near the ocean it is perfectly
content 1t wants to have water,
plenty of il, but deep down beyond
the warmth Of the soil and the sun,
and with ample chance to reach it

rich mellow land, mellow in its depths.

Harvesting Broom Corn.

It is still a matter of doubt as to
the best time to harvest broom corn,
says a bulletin of the Louisiana Elk
pertinent Station. In some localities it
is customary to harvest soon after the
blossoms fall, or when the seeds are
in the milk stage. In other sections
they wait till the seed reaches the
dough or semi-sold state Such par
ties claim that the straw is as good.
and they gain in weight, and the seeds
become valuable for feed. One impor-
tant point must be held in mind, how
ever, that the straw gradually loses its
green color as it ripens, and the price
is materially Influenced by the color
of the straw. Again, overripe straw
will not take stain as readily as the
greener straw. which is a considera-
ton, especially in making middle grade
and cheap brooms The old custom
of looping" the brushes is still prac-
tioed to some extent. The stem is
bent at sharp angle about a foot or
so below the base of the brush, so as
not to sever il from the stem. but
leave the head hanging as nearly YER
teal as possible. This practice origI-
mated when it was customary to al
low the seeds to mature, and the OBJ
ject was to keep the straws straight,
as the weight of the maturing seeds
bent the straws sustaining them when
left upright, and if they matured in
that way, they did not make a good
straight brush. Early harvesting re-
moves very largely the necessity for
Topping the tops. Sometimes the
tops are broken in a similar manner.
Immediately in advance of the cutting,

cessible, where the stalks are twelve

MOuItrie News Notes.


Moultrie Ga. July 19.-The Colquitt
county sheep owners sold their wool
clip for the year on Thursday. There
were 900 pounds in the lot, and 1t
was sold to Morris Mayer of Albany
at 22A cents. The lot Melted the sheep
men nearly SIS 900. There are a number
of large sheep owners in the county,
the largest being Mr.. ]. B. Norman
Jr., of Norman Park. He has sold this
year about 1900 pounds of wool and
realized nearly $500. He has recently
added to his sheep holdings, having
now 5000.
Clarence Lewis, a young white man
who has been lumber inspector out at
Sumner & Pounds saw mill, was ad-
Judged insane this week and sent to
the state sanitarium. Lewis was hurt
on the head a few days ago while

falling upon him. The wound affected
his mind and led to complete insanity.

there had been some material improve
ments made in the machinery and
equipment used since the plant was
first put up here, and the new plant
will be the most complete of them all
now in use 1t is intended to have the
new plant in operation in thirty days.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion of the probable successor of the
late Mayor B. P. Crenshaw. The city
charter provides that such vacancies
shall be filled by the Council. At the
present time Mayor Pro Tenn c. E.
Holmes is acting, and a petition of
large number of the best citizens of
the town will be submitted to the
Council asking that he be elected to
the unexpired term. 1t is probable that
the matter will take this course at the
next meeting of the Council.
There has been unusual activity in
MOultrie real estate this week. Among
the deals made was the sale of about
thirty acres desirably located in the
southern part of town to Mr. John
Morrison, a wealthy naval stores OPP
orator of Ellabelle. Mr.. Morrison has
considerable business interests in this
county, and has made his temporary
home four miles from here for two or
three years. He will build a very fine
home on his property here.

SUNDAY FREIGHT TRAINS.

The Railroad Committee of the House
had under consideration a bill by Mr.
Dawes of Fannin, giving railroads
which operate in Georgia and another
state the right to run freight trains On
Sunday in order to reach terminal
point which is not more than fifteen
miles inside the state line. The bill
in question affects principally the AT
lanta, Knoxville and Northern, which
has shops at Blue Ridge, in Fannin
county, and which sometimes finds it
necessary to get its trains from Ten
nessee into these shops on Sunday.
Under the present state law this is
prohibited, and the bill by DR.. Dawes
was framed to fit the case. The com
mittee found no special objection to
the bill, and decided to report it back
with the recommendation that it be
DaSsed

The pineapple will grow almost any
where, but it plainly likes dry and
sandy soil better than a heavy and
humid one, says the Florida Agricul-
turist Our growers and experimenters,
however. incline to the idea that it mas
this preference not so much on account
of any mere liking for barren sand
and the air that may be enclosed in
its meshes as on account of the greater
freedom of sand from standing water.
That is rich soil with a heavy content
of vegetable matter is distasteful to
the pine because it retains the rainfall
too long.
The presence of lime was formerly
thought to be injurious to the pine
apple but it is now believed that the
lime itself is not obnoxious to the
plant but only the coarse sea shells
from which it was obtained. Not llmey
land, but shelly land is to be avoided.
The orange is one of the most fas
tidious of all trees in its selection of
home in the soil, Notwithstanding it
is so prolific and so hardy and tolerant
of many forms of abuse. The one pre-
eminent requisite demanded by the or
ange for it's roots is a soft and perne-
able soil and deep subsoil. 1t need
not be rich, but ii must be mellow; 1t
table matter; it need not have hardly
anything in the way of plant food, but
it is absolutely essential that ii shall
have water or an easy descent down
TO the water.
The outreaching rootlets of the or
ange are as delicate as the Whiskers
of a feline. Any trifiing matter of
ferric acid or hardpan or chlorine, and
at once there is trouble at the center
and a case of die back. Some obscure
chemical substance of vegetable acid
resulting from the fermentation of
green plants plowed under, and imme-
diately we have a case of frenching, or
french leaf, a notified coloring which
surely denotes a condition of i'll health;
not altogether a serious case but mere
ly out of sorts.
Plant the orange in a clean, mellow.
absolutely odorless but very fine sand,
and ii will be satisfed-but it will at
once demand a ration.
Melons squashes. cantaloupes and
similar vines succeed best on a warm
light but fertile soil. A light, sandy
soil we'll enriched, is, perhaps, all
things considered, the best for melons,
and this is one secret of the high quail
ity and popularity Of Florida melons
and cantaloupes.
Onions thrive best on low, black soil
of a moderately firm texture but not
in clay: neither should il be too wet.
A heavy sand is also Objectionable be-
cause the expanding bulb cannot,
when still young, thrust aside the
weight for its expansion end IL grows
up scallion.
Roses thrive best in clay, rhododen

Chemist Rose has received assurances
