CLEANED HERE AND THERE
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS THAT CAN BE
APPLIED WITH SPLENDID SUCCESS.
The Care of Live Stock, the Cultivation of
Crops and the Latest Methods Used 10
Raising and Caring for Poultry.
By B. BENJAMIN. JR.

Washington, d. Cat a recent
meeting of the American Beet Sugar
association DR.. Galloway gave an in
teresting account of the visit of an ex-
pert to Europe, where he investigated
some of the farms of France, Ger
many and Austria where sugar beet
seed is grown. The result of his OBJ
servatiOnS was that he believes seed
can be grown in this country that will
produce beet containing about per
cent more sugar than the average in
Europe or eighty pounds more sugar
per ton than yet produced. According
to DR.. Galloway, an effort will be made
to develop this feature of the industry
in Colorado, Utah and Washington.
In termination tests of sugar beet
seed, just reported by Expert Saylor,
seed grown in the state of Washing
ton excelled numerous varieties of for
eign seed from sundry sources in near
ly every particular.
Treatment of Frozen Fruit Trees.
Reports as to damage to fruit trees
by frost, especially in New York and
New England, have been somewhat
conflicting. Professor Waite, patholo-
gist in charge Of investigations of dis
eases of orchard fruits, after looking
over the situation in the Hudson and
Connecticut river valleys concluded
that the damage is mainly to peach,
Japanese plum and pear trees, and
the most serious harm is confined to
the lower levels and pockets. He Wis
tied the orchards around Marlboro and
Milton on the Hudson river and also
those located at South Glastonbury,
Conn.,, and found in conversation with
the growers that, as a rule, they over
estimated the damage. In several
cases orchards were already cut down
which would probably have recovered
if given proper treatment.
In bulletin 81, on fruit trees frozen
in 1904, Professor Waite states that
nearly all peach trees in which the
bark is stuck tight at the critical point
about two feet from the ground
may be expected to pull through, and
many that have the bark partially
loosened may recover Moderate prun
ing back, followed by good cultivation
and, unless the land is in very good
. condition, with a moderate amount OF
fertilizing, is the best course to pursue
Soil Management.
A division of soil management has
been organized in the bureau of soils
1t seems prepared to do in its line
somewhat the same thing the bureau
of forestry does for private individu
ais. 1t was suggested, according tC
the report of the bureau, by the pos
sibilities for improvement in agricul
tural methods or for the introduction
Of new crops in an area" that are ''cOn

ers in the area to make a change II
their practices. Practical field demon
stration seems to be the best way o
impressing these lessons"

Attorney-General Knox fearlessly

The Supreme Court has ruled that
books are not second class matter.
Very few of them are first class.
With inadequate schools, an army of

The poor old liberty bell is again to
be put upon wheels and dragged about
the country. This time it will be sent
to the st. Louis Exposition at a cost
of $4,000. The bell is about the only
relic left of the days of the Fathers
who fought for liberty, equality, and
the pursuit of happiness.
Andrew Carnegie has never made a
gift more splendid than the $4,000,
600 as a perpetual endowment of an
honor-roll of the heroes of peace.
These heroes, lik gunner Munson who
shot the magazine door of the Miss
ouri battleship 'just in time" are very
likely to be forgotten.
The danger of inhaling the dust of
the street has been brought wildly to
the attention of the public from the
fact that 20 per cent. of the street
sweepers in New York have tubercu-
losis as a result of their occupation.
Owing to the dust and dirt in Balti-
more since the great fire, the disease
known as pink eye has appeared.
An Eastern paper says the cost oi
living is rapidly decreasing, and gives
as an illustration the fact that the
price of camphor has decreased g
cents pound. This is catching at {
very small straw for the sake of sup
porting an assertion. CampLor is al
article of consumption in American
households is an unknown quantity y
Besides an article called camphor il
now turned out in chemical laborator
les just as an article known as indigt

camphor is much higher than it wa
ever known to be.

GARRETT'S CANVASS
Is VERY DIGNIFIED
HE is ENDORSED STRoNGl nv
THE BAR AND BY TIL
PEOPLE THROUGHOUT TT
TIRE COUNTY. t.aI

As the day for the primary elect
proaches it becomes evident that
c. Garrett will be nominated for tn
of third associate judge, by hai
majority.
While no noisy or boastful car
has been conducted in his beha
friends have pressed a quiet, di
and earnest canvass for him, co
that his well known fitness for that .ce
needs no meretricious methods to insure
his success.
That the judgment of the members Of
the bar Is a most valuable guide to the
people at large In the selection of judges.
for the reason that they are brought into
closer contact with the respective candi-
dates and are, therefore, more familiar
with their qualifications than the public
generally, Is beyond question. In this
connection 1t Is safe to say that the law
yers who favor Mr.. CARROTS nomination
equal, IL they do not exceed. In number
those supporting any to other candidates
for the same office. and are engaged on
one side or the other Of more than three
fourths OF all the important litigation and
legal business In Jeerson county. This
fact alone aside from his great personal
popularity, should. and no doubt will,
have much weight in his favor. The nom
nation of Mr.. Garrett will call to the SER
vice Of the people in an office OF wider
judicial Jurisdiction than that he now
holds a gentleman Of high character, a
lawyer of recognized ability and an off
cial whose record Is above criticism, and
will be a well earned promotion to a
sphere of larger usefulness to the public.

Mr.. Corners Fight.

From the Montgomery Journal.
Mr. Conner is making a very thorough
canvass of the state, but he Is not re
oeiving that cordial greeting everywhere
that his friends would have us believe.
He is treated with respect as he should
be, but he is not receiving the cordial
support of the press and the people that
he had expected when he started out in
this campaign The Florence Herald says
of Mr.. Corners recent visit to that city:
"The Hon. B. b. Conner spoke at the
courthouse Monday morning. Mr. Conner
is not an orator, but he is a gentleman OF
pleasing address and we presume is a
sbrewd politician. He made a strong plea
for the vote and assistance of those pres
ent. and of course only presented his
side of the discussion, which in some re-
spects is getting to be quite warm, 10
say the least. With all due respect to Mr..
Conner and his friends, we think he is
TOO much of an extremist for the good of
the state We must not lose sight or
what the railroads have cone for this
state, and especially for northern Ala
bama, and that they deserve impartial
treatment.
Elsewhere. as in Florence, Mr.. Conner
impresses all with his radicalism, and
arouses the fears of his hearers that he
will be a danger Gus man in the office OF
president of the railroad commassi on
should he be elected. The people are falr
and while demanding that the railroads
should not be oppressive in their freight
charges. they do not believe that the
railroads should be oppressed those ar

The Railroad Commission.

From the Scottsboro Progressive Age.
The race for president of the Alabama
railroad commission is attracting atten-
ton throughout the length and breadth
of the state Mr.. b. b. Conner, large
mill owner and capitalist of Birmingham,
is arraying himself, through circulars
and papers scattered throughout the
state, as the great champion of the peo-
pies rights. and asserting that If elect
ed president of this commission he will
cut the freight rates in two and work
many other miracles for the people
good.
We have heard Of such men before.
They make wonderful promises on winch
to ride into office but their promises are
as easily forgotten as made. AS to Mr..
Conner as with all other men, we have
only his past record to guide us, and from
this we are loath to believe that If elect
ed to this office any great benefit will
accrue to the masses of the people.
Only on one previous occasion have we
ever heard of him taking part in any
public question that was being agitated
for the public good, and that was In bit
tery opposing the en>tment OF the pres
ent law which forbids the employment of
young children in cotton mills. In oppos-
ing this law he must have been prompted
by purely personal motives. He was at
the head of powerful lobby that at
tempted to defeat this law not because
he considered is best for young children
to be permitted to work in cotton mills
but because the labor of these children
was profitable to Mr.. Conner and his per-
sonal interest led to disregard the public
good. We are further convinced that IL
Mr.. Conner should happen to be elected
president of the Alabama railroad COM
mission his first and greatest effort would
be to establish rates that would be prof.
table to Mr.. Conner in his private BUSH
ness, and this accomplished his great in
terest in the good of the masses would
suddenly languish.
He is that character of man that has
amassed fortune by keen and sagacious
work and who has taken little time to
consider the cause of the people. and Is
only now enticed into an apparent effort
to help them when he sees that thereby
he may promote his own interests.
We publish this week a supplement con-
tanning discussion Of some of the issues
that the campaign has brought forth,
and II read carefully they will explain
themselves and show that Mr. Conner Is
only an ordinary business man with an
eye single to his own interests.
