BALTIMORE FIRM WILL
GO INTO LIQUIDATION.
Lloyd L. Jackson Company Expects

Lloyd l.. jackson Company Expects
to Pay All 1t Owes.
Baltimore, Jan. 31.-It was stated to-
day by Aubrey Pearre, chairman of
the committee of creditors of the Lloyd
L. jackson Company of this city,
wholesale dealers in dry goods, that
the company will go into liquidation.
Mr. Pearre said that the company
would pay every cent it owed by April
Is next, and that the preferred stock
holders would get from so to go cents
on the dollar. Mr.. Pearre is the presi-
dent of the Lloyd L. Jackson Com
pany.
The Lloyd L. Jackson Company's
charter provides for 100000 of prefer
red stock, and 100000 of common stock.
The business of the firm was, for the
most part in the South. The firm was
incorporated in August, 1901, under the
laws of the state of New York, with
a capital of $1,000,000. 1t absorbed the
]. Hurst Purnell Company of this city
and began business Dec. 2, 1901.
The affairs of the company will be
wound up by Aubrey Pearre, N. Wins
low Williams and J. Hurst Purnell, a
committee named at a meeting of the

WARNER AND QUINLAN
LOSE ASPHALT MINE.

Caracas, Thursday, Jan 2S.-The
Federal Supreme Court, sitting in full
session with ten judges on the bench,
has finally handed down a decision in
the long drawn out asphalt case. The
court gives as its judgment that the
claim of Messrs. Warner and Quinlan,
of Syracuse, N. Y. to possession of the
Felicibad asphalt mine, a portion of the
asphalt lake in the state of Bermudez,
claimed also by the New York and
Bermudez Asphalt Company who hold
concession to work the lake, is null
and void
The Felicidad mine was bought in
1898 by Messrs. Warner and Ouinlan.
The court bases its opinion on the ar
gument that while the concession of
the Bermudez company was valid. no
claim to the Felicidad mine could be
granted The debates revealed the fact
that Messrs. Warner and Quinlan had
bought the Felicidad mine without re-
eeiVlng proper title from the vendors,

Spraying Mixtures.

The mixture known as paris green
is the standard remedy for all biting
and chewing insects. 1t is made by
using a pound of it to 200 or 300 gal
Ions of water. Apple, pear, plum and
like trees will take the denser. strength:
but for peach trees the weaker
strength is advised. pound of quick
lime added is good, causing the ma
terlal to adhere well to the leaves and
wood, and preventing harm to the
foliage, which sometimes is apt to &C.
cur when the mixture is too strong
Bordeaux mixture is to destroy fungi
1t is made by using five pounds of blue
stone "copper" sulphate) in forty gall
Ions of water adding four pounds
quicklime, slaked in four gallons of
water and added to the other. when
strained through coarse cloth or a fine
sieve, so that what passes through
can easily be sprayed through a noz-
zle. Paris green and Bordeaux mix
ture can be mixed together and ap-
piled to trees, one not interfering with
the other. Four ounces of paris
green put with the Bordeaux fixes it.
For scale insects, whale oil soap and
Kerosene emulsion are still found to
be efncacious. For winter use. for San
Jose scale, two pounds to the gallon
may be used, but in summer, for use
on trees and plants. one pound to
hVe gallons makes a good mixture.
Kerosene emulsion is made by using
hard soap, one-half pound; boiling
water one gallon; kerosene, two gall
IONS; dlssolving the soap in the water,
add the kerosene, and churn or stir
thoroughly for five or ten minutes.
Dilute four to twenty-five times be-
fore using. Use it strong for San Jose
scale and all scale insects and weaker
for other insects, thrip. bugs, lice, etc.
The San Jose scale should be attac ked
IN the winter as well as in the sum-
mer. One or two doses in winter will
destroy many of the scales. There is
no DOUBT that this pest can be con-
trolled if taken in hand and followed
up persiStentlY.

Protect the Trees.

To protect trees from mice and rab-
bits, which are nearly sure to injure
some in every orchard during the win
ter season if preventive measures are
not adopted, several methods are rec
commended. One is to inclose the tree
with some fine meshed wire netting,
settling it into the earth a couple of
inches, and have it come high enough
on the trunk of the tree to prevent rab-
bits reaching about it. This requires
time and involves considerable ex-
pense if the orchard is of any extent.
Another plan is to inclosa the trunk
with tarred paper, secured with tacks.
This~is much cheaper and can be put
on with less trouble than wire net
ting. Others recommend painting tn =
trunk with house paint. which is said
to be effective and not to injure the
tree. Smearing the trunks with blood
is effective, but rains will wash it off,
and it will require renewing to be eff
fectiYe against rabbits, while we doubt
If 1t will protect trees from mice. For
cheapness and effectiveness we think
paint or taxpayer will be found best
suited for most orchardists. 1t is time
the trees were protected. as the rab-
bits will begin to attack them as soon
as the first snow covers the meadows
and gardens and cuts off their supply
of green food.

Winter Eggs.

In the first place let us say that it Is
necessary to feed well where winter
eggs are expected. 1t is also neces-
sary to have something to feed. Hens
that will lay are the ones to be fed. If
hens are not in a condition to lay all
the feed in the world will not cause
them to lay. The hens must be of the
right age, Matched at the right time
get through melting in time to start in
laying before cold weather comes.
With the right kind of hens it will
be necessary to have the right sort of
a house and then they should be fed
Tor business. A good, warm house will
be necessary with a scratching room
attached. These things being fur
nished a friend of ours gets plenty of
eggs in the following manner: In the
morning grain is scattered in the litter
consisting of cracked corn, oats or
wheat and the hens scratch. About
noon another lot of grain is again
thrown to them in the litter and again
they scratch: in fact they scratch for
about all they get and they keep it up
about all day. In the evening Just
before the fowls go to roost they are
fed warm mash of bran and shorts
They get about all of this they viii eat
up clean in ten minutes. 1t is fed in
troughs constructed so the fowls can
not get in them with their feet. The
water given them in extremely cold
weather is warmed somewhat. This
being done the hens do the rest. The
diet of this pen can be helped great

admiralty, directly responsible to the
Crown and to Parliament. The con-
stitution of the army council aims at
decentralization, the individual men,
bers of the council being entrusted with
different branches. such as armament
supply, finance, etc. In this connec-
ton the report remarks Significantly:
New measures demand new men;
we therefore attach special Importance
to the appointment of military MEM
bers not hitherto closely connected
with existing methods, and who, there
fore, are not likely to be embarrassed
by the traditions of system which
is to be radically changed"
The commission considers the aboli
ton of the post of commander-in-chief
to be imperative, and it urges the di-
vorce of the administrative from the
executive department.
The inspector general is to be APP
pointed for five years. His sole func-
ton, aided by a staff, is to report
upon actual facts without expressing
opinions on policies.
The morning papers editorially ap-
plaud the report of the commission as
complete and practical, and express
the hope that the government will ex-
ecute the reforms with courage and
promDtitude.

WORTH COUNTY REPUBLICANS
Named Delegates to Congressional

cans of Worth county he'd a mass
meeting at Isabella yesterday for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
congressional convention. to be held in
Dawson Saturday. Feb. 49, and to the
state convention, to be held in Atlanta,

ing, of which about 200 were colored.
1t soon developed that an interesting
contest was on. in which it is thought
the postmastership at Ashburn, rem
dered vacant by the death of MIR. J..
w. Evans, was involved. Several
prominent white citizens and business
men of Ashburn were present. Glen
Smith, who was for years the grand
mogul of Republicanism in Worth, was
ousted from the craftsmanship of the
Executive Committee. and E. S. DAN
iels, a colored school teacher, was given
the place. The proceedings of the
meeting resulted as follows:

Washington. Jan. 31.-When the
proposition was advanced some years
ago that the United States govern
ment should share the cost of con-
structing good roads throughout the
country with the states and counties.
it was generally regarded as absurd.
Since its inception. however, the
movement has grown and gathered
strength until all parts of the country
are united in demanding that Congress
shall extend the same aid to the i'm
provement of the roads that is given
to the improvement of rivers and har-
bors. That the bills which are now
pending in the Committees on Agri-
culture of the House and Senate will
receive support from Republicans and
Democrats alike is evidenced by the
following interviews:
In Favor of National Aid.
Il have not given critical examina-
ton to the different bills which have
been introduced, one by Representative
Brownlow, and another by Senator Lat
inner of South Carolina, and perhaps
other bills" said Representative Rixey
of Virginia, but l am in favor of the
general proposition of national aid to
the states and counties in the building
OF important roads, and expect to sup
port the proposition looking to that end
l believe that the farming commune
ties would in this way derive more ben
eft than from any other way in which
appropriations could be applied. With
Of ho 81 u.
is probable that the agricultural classes
receive less benefit in proportion to the
taxes paid than any other class of the
people.
THE making and improvement of the
important highways will require an ex-
penditure of money which think is be-
yond the ability of the local commune
ties to bear, and for that reason l
favor state aid and national aid"
Wants Smaller Appropriation.
Representative Thayer of Massa-
chusetts is in favor of government aid
for highway Improvements, but thinks
that the amount contemplated to be
expended is too high, and that the
experiment should be tried with much
less amount of money. Later the APP
preparations could be increased as the
experience justified. He spoke of the
improvement of the roads in Massachu-
sets, and said they were the best roads
in the country. In this work the state
had aided the various communities.
There is nothing that will show the
civilization of this country any better
than the improvement of the high
ways" he said After we entered
upon the improvement of the roads
with state aid, it marked an advance
ment that has been hardly equaled in
any form in any state of the country"
A National Question.

1t was once supposed that if ma
nure was kept under cover it's fertility
would not be appreciably wasted. The
Department of Agriculture finds that
large losses may occur, though not to
such an extent, of course, as from the
open yard manure pile. The best way
to keep manure seems to be to pack it
into a solid mass, and exclude the air,
in a somewhat similar manner to the
way silage is put up. The department
notes experiments where steer manure
was kept in deep stalls under the feet
of the animals for months, as against
the method of cleaning the stall out
daily, and storing in a compact heap
under cover enough fine cut litter being
used each day to apparently absorb all
liquid manure. The deep stall manure
was trampled to a very dark compact
mass, and there was very little loss of
the valuable fertilizing constituents
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
With the manure kept in heaps one
third of the nitrogen, one-fifth of the
potash and one-seventh of the phos-
phoric acid was lost the total money
value of the losses being equivalent to
$3.50 for each steer stabbed for six
months. Manure, it is stated, can be
kept almost perfectly. so far as the
fertilizer constituents are concerned, by
use of the "deep-stall' system Elk
periments show, however. that nitro
gen is lost very rapidly by such ma
nure, if it be allowed to lie after the
removal of the stock, without such
covering as will retain the moisture
and exclude the ARA. c.
