The cultivation Of the new rasp.
berry plantation should be continued
till the middle Of August. This will
result In keeping down the weeds and
sending the moisture into the roots
OF the plants. The vigorous growth
made this year will be seen in the
fruit next year.

The Poultry Yard Fence.

The Poultry Yard Fence.
The poultry yard fence is one OF
the important features of the equip
ment for poultry raising. In this mat
ter there has been something Of q
revolution during the last generation
The old style fence wes an eyesore
ON most farms. It was made prin
cipally Of laths. generally unpainted
In a short time the wood became
weather beaten and here and there
the laths were broken, Sometimes an
attempt was made to whitewash and
repair 1t. This meant the addition OF
old boards or strips In place Of the
broken laths. and this increased the
appearance Of untidiness that per-
vaded all. Il is no wonder that some
of our farmers wives became heartily
sick Of chickens and the chicken
yard. as the latter was often the most
unsightly object on the farm. A new
day dawned when wire fencing came
into vogue. Whether cheaper or not
the wire netting is far more durable
than the wood ever could be, and II is
far neater In appearance. It is now
possible for the farmer to construct
q neat poultry fence that will not get
out Of repair and that will remain
good for many years.
The usual method Of construction
now is to set deeply into the ground
some cedar or other posts, which have
boen previously dipped In tar to the
height they are expected to penetrate
the ground. This will be found neces.
sary with most OF our timber. The
posts used. however, should be we'll
dried out and not contain moisture at
time OF dipping, else the dipping will
be OF no avail. The posts should be
made high enough to carry four.
foot netting. as this will be found to
be the most serviceable height Of net.
ting for restraining most of our breeds
Of fowls.
No top cross piece should be used,
as this presents a lighting place for
the fowls. II the wire is stretched
tightly on strong posts 1t will need
no board or joist at the top. If, how.
ever. the fowls are to be very heavy
ones, like the Light Brahmas, q top
rail may be used. as they will not at.
tempt to fly up to 1t In any event.
The Plymouth Rocks and Leghorns
will. however. find no obstacle In the
way of their wanderings II they can
see board at the top. A good many
pOultrymen are now saving wire by
leaving of the top board, for 1t Is DIFF.
hcult to build q fence SO high that
the hens cannot get over II they can
find lighting place half way. We
have seen poultry fences eight feet
high that did not hold Leghorns.
The size Of tho yard will have con.
Siderable bearing on the height of
the fence. for 1t has been observed
that when the area is small and the
flock large. the fowls will redouble
their efforts to get out. IL the yard
is large and there is green feed In
side. 1t is surprising how well-content.
ed the fowls are TO remain In 1t.
Two-inch mesh wire Is tho best for
ordinary uses. A board should be-
placed at the bottom and set some.
what In the ground an zach or two
to prevent the hens digging under 1t,
as they fnd 1t convenient place for
making dust bath.

Tombigbee. Railroad.

Al party of business men Of
Columbus are now out on a pros
pecting trip looking over the route
of a new railroad from that goodly
city down the Tombigbee river. for
d distance'of fifty miles: The same
people have looked over the route
from Columbus to Amory and, it
is said, this road will certainly be
built. There is no place in the
state that has suffered from lack
Of transportation facilities. like
Columbus. Until the Southern
road was completed to that city
there was but a single line that
entered 1.-THE Mobile and Ohio
Soon after the completion of the
Southern the deal with the nj. Il o.
was made and the city fell into the
hands of the Southern and is now
entirely at its mercy, where it
will sur ely remain until the peo-
pie of the aristo cratic old town 90

from their unfortunate predlca-
ment.
There is no town in the South
that enjoyes a more commanding
location than Columbus and there
is no town more perfectly blessed
in the possession of every desirable
thing that should make a town
leap forward and thrive. The city
now has ten thousand people who,
in all that a people can claim,
stand pre- eminently high. Health,
wealth, intelligence, fine schools,
rich country about it,-everythlng
desirable in location and surround
ings is theirs and all they would
have to do to make their city
the peer of any in the land is to
wake up and 60 to work to avail
themselves of their own. We are
glad to see the old town shaking
off it's lethargy and hope ,he bust

to reconDoiter for business may
return and tell such beautiful
stories about what they found that
every body in the city may wake
up and join in ga pull, a strong
pull and a pull all together until
they have secured what rightly
belongs to them. The contemplate
ed roads would benefit thousands
of Mississippians, if completed,
and We trust they may soon be
built.

Senator Burton, Of Kansas, who
was recently convicted, at st Lonis,
OF having received large sums of
money for his personal influence
in obtaining information from
the government to give to the
Rialto Grain Go. Of that city, has
written a letter to a friend in
which he says that 'tif all was
known about similar uses of in.
fuence by officials in authority
sit would appall the world" No
matter what the Senator may have
done we certainly believe that he
is honest in making this statement.

Judge Parker.

There seems to be a kind Of
ground swell going on III the
democratic party in favor of Judge
Parker Of New York, as its presl-
Dental nominee. A decided ma
jority of the democrats in congress
have declared for him as their
| preference. This indicates that
they regard him as the most avail
able man and hal they think he
could be the easiest elected. Judge
Parker has been several times
elected to the Supreme bench III
the great state from which he
halls and each time by a large ma
jorlty. He is exceedingly popu
lar and while he is a strong aud
loyal democrat he has no political
sins to answer for. There is moth
ing in his political record, nor in
his personal history to stigma
tie his character. His popularity
comes from his uprightness as q
judge, and his record as a man OF
unblemished private life.
While we are inclined to the be-
lief that Mr. Cleveland is the
stronger man of the two we would
accord to Judge Parker our hearty
support. This we would do to
any man that the party calls to
lead them. 1t is certainly a time
for wise counsel and wise action
and we sincerely trust that these
may prevail in selecting Il candi-
date.

The postal service demands more money reduction in any of the other depart ments. The total appropriations for the present year are $7S1.574.629 99. while the total estimated revenues are only s1o4,472.o60.72.
