The Black walnut for Farm Plant
ing.

The following suggestions by D. b.
Thomas Of Missouri are we'll worth
considering by any who begin to need
trees on their farms.
want to urge every farmer to lend
hand and plant trees. Do not plant
them in your tillabe land if you have
any other kind, but plant in stony or
hilly places about the house and barn
lots and along fences and roads. Vari-
Gus kinds of trees have been suggest
ed and tried. and there are many good
ones. Maple is a beautiful and Valu-
able kind, but slow growing. Locust
is not so valuable, grows fast and as
lumber or posts lasts well, but the
sprouts want it left out of mine.
All oaks are grand, but little hard to
get started. Catalpa is a fine, light
and very durable wood, grows exceed
ingly fast and the sprouts do not
bother.
But every one OF these trees is very
much subject to the depredations Of
all kinds Of stock. possibly excepting
hogs, which. while they do not bite
them, scratch themselves against and
loosen them. also root out holes and
wallow around the roots until water
stands about them, which is often a
fatal injury. Most Of us would not like
10 do without pasturing any field long
enough to get young trees started suf-
hciently To be beyond damage from
stock, so what are we going 10 do
about Il? Simply this: plant some
thing that they do not like. / know

About wild Turkeys.

The Farmers Journal says: Every
fall few wild turkeys are put on the
market The experiment has been
made of breeding and keeping the
wild turkey in confinement, and it has
succeeded so we'll that the farmer who
can procure the turkeys should do so.
The turkeys of either sex crossed with
the Bronze give a cross nearly and
sometimes quite as large as the pure
Bronze. and the wild blood gives the
progeny of such a cross a vigor un-
known with the same birds.
The bird from such a cross also has
a superior flavor, and in some mar
kets commands higher price because
of the gamey taste. 1t is true that the
older the turkeys grow the wilder they
grow. but this disadvantage is more
than counterbalanced by the benefit of
the infusion of wild blood. The Rhode
Island Experiment Station speaks as
follows of wild turkey crosses:
Where wild birds are plenty crosses
between wild and domesticated birds
frequently occur without design on the
part of the owner of the latter Scores
of cases are recorded where a wild
gobbler from the woods has taken pos
session of a flock of common turkeys
sometimes after first battling with and
suits of such a cross in almost every
case have been so satisfactory that
such matings are much desired by tur-
key raisers in those sections, and
young wild birds are caught for this
purpose and brought up with common
young turkeys.
Very often nests of wild turkey
eggs are found in the woods and
Matched on the farm. When raised
from the egg they become more gentle
and fearless than the domestic turkey,
but if chased or frightened they re-
cover their wild habits very quickly
Wild turkey crosses are harder and
healthier than common turkeys and
rarely have disease. Half blood hens
are generally too wild. but half blood
gobblers are not so wild and are suit
able for crossing with domestic hens
A quarter wild cross is better for prac-
tical breeding than a pure wild or half
wild bird. Half wild crosses do well
If allowed a large range, but are not
suited to woody lands or as easily kept
on small ranges as the domestic tur-
key"
Wild turkey hens under domestica-
ton and wild first-cross hens often
disappear in the spring and are not
seen again until fall, when they usual
ly return TO their own home with a
brood of nearly full grown turkeys.
Half blood mothers make their young
too wild. Half blood reared by do
nestle hens are not much inclined to
stray. Quarter bloods under certain
conditions may be as wild as the wild
birds of the woods.
There is a growing demand for
wild gobblers, and farmers who may
be so fortunate as to procure them win
get rich.

NEGRO CHARGES HALF
BROTHER WITH PE0NAGE.
First Case on Record of a Negro Be-
ing Charged with the OGense.

First Case on Record of a Negro Be-
ing Charged with the oHense.
Athens, Ga, Dec ia great deal
has been said about white men of the
South holding the negroes in a state
Of peonage, and many cases of that
kind have found their way into the
federal courts. Clarke county comes
to the front with a case that is en-
tirely different from any ever yet re-
ported. 1t is the case of one negro
who swears that another negro is hold
ing him in peonage.
Robert Christopher, a negro living
near Whitehall, took out a warrant,
charging his half-brother, George
Christopher with peonage. Robert al
leges that George is compelling him
to work for him without any legal
right to do SO, and he seeks the aid
of the federal court to make George
let him go.
This is probably the first case of the
kind in the history of the county. It
has hitherto been considered a racial
question, but here is a case in which
race cuts no figure, and in which two
negroes are having it out with each
other.
The conmittal trial Of the accus-
ed negro will be held before Commits
sioner Kinnebrew, and the develop
ments of the case promise to be full of
interest.
