INFLUENCE OF THE WIND ON
VEGETATION.

The influence of the wind on vege.
tati0n has been the subject of re-
port by Prof. Fruh to Swiss geograph.
ers. The effect is a powerful one,
especially on trees, and even the
presence or absence of forests may
be determined by the character of the
prevailing wind or the conditions that
modify its action. The wind acts es-
pecially as a drying agent in this
way giving special aspect to many
plants. When the wind is almost al
ways from the same quarter, the
plants show greater development upon
one side, trees are smaller on the
windward edges of forests, and trunks
and branches are permanently bent to
leeward. The deformities are most
marked near the sea or In fiat regions.
The cherry, the plum, the walnut, the
black poplar, the ash and GER
tain pines are very sensitive to the
wind, but mountain pines and certain
frs offer great powers of resistance
and these are recommended for re.
foresting wind-swept lands.

Do You Remember
Do you re-rrmber little wife,
How years ago we two together
Saw naught but love illumine life
In sunny days or winter weather?
Do you remember how we two
Would stare into each others eyes,
TIL all the earth grew heavenly blue
And speech was lost in happy signs?
Do you another thing recall,
That used 10 happen often then;
How. simply passing in the hall,
Wed stop to smile and kiss again?
Do you remember how I sat
4 And. reading. held your hand in mine
Caressing 1t with gentle pat
One pat for every blessed line?
Do you recall while at the play
Through hours of agony we tarried?
The lovers griefs brought us dismay;
Oh, we rejoiced when they were mar
RED,
All. me. twas years and years ago
When all this happened that sing,
And many time the winter snow
Has slipped from olive slopes of spring
And now-oh. nonsense; let us tell;
A fig for laugh of maids or men;
You'll hide your bushes? I'll not Well
We're ten times worse than we were
then.

Our Public Library

Last spring public library was es-
tablished and has been kept open for
the public all summer. 1t has been
one of the coy spots of the town and
and now when the evenings are get
ting longer and more men and boys
will be in town is good time to con-
slider how we can provide for its main
tenance for that part of the year when
it will do the most good TO have it
open. The operations at the sugar
factory will bring many people to
town who must of necessity spend
much of their time in public places,
and VIZ owe it to them from a business
standpoint as well as from philan-
throphic standpoint to give them a
chance to spend their evenings in a
quiet pleasant way. Men who are
reading and writing are not disturb
ing other people nor carousing, and
they are more apt to be on duty dur
ing working hours, which is quite an
item to employers.
The following table will show what
it has cost to maintain the reading
room for the summer, and the average
attendance of men, women and chill
dren. Unless some arrangements are
made soon for its maintenance it will
be closed.
Now that the building is already
equipped, the two large items Of furni-
ture and repairs will not need to be
met again. which makes it easier to
maintain it for the next six months
than for the past.

HORTICULTURE.

There lives q man In every town
Whose name is Peter Tumbledown.
OF Horticulture he has heard
And seems to hate the very word.
All garden work he tries to shun.
And by his wife this work Is done:
At flowers he will neve~ gaze,
He likes the fruit his neighbors raise.
To grow his fruit he does not try:
Claims It's cheaper to buy.
But when berries are In their prime.
He's out Of cash, just at that time
Watermelons are his sons delight.
His neighbours fruit they coon" {

The boys soon tire of a farmers life
And mingle In the city's strife.
Nor for his girls is there a charm
About his gardenless old farm;
They declare, IL ever they wed,
Their husbands must be city bred.

TO horticulture you should fee:
Study it well and practice more;
There's happiness for you in store.

BARN CLEANING.

Every farmer should take as much
pride in clean, well-ordered barn, al
the housewife does in her freshly
cleaned rooms.
On stormy days when the work out
side must wait, the barn cleaning
may be done: the corners, windows
stairways, shelves and closets, where
old harness, bottles and odds and ends
of all kinds collect, should be cleared
out and the places well swept with a
stiff old brush or broom.
Then separate the useful pieces
from the rest and replace in order;
burn or bury the remainder. If boards
are loose or steps need renailing or a
knot-hole wants closing, or the
managers, feed bins, or stall partitions
want fixing, have saw, hammer and
nails and pieces of boards handy;
take time to do it right; don't try to
do it all in one day, but make neat
piece of work Of it.

soy BEANS.

This new accession to the forage
plants OF the United States comes from
Japan. 1t may be sown from May un.
til July, and, with two or three good
rains, will make large yield Of ex.
cellent hay, and, If sown early, of
beans also. This plant is a great ad-
dition to the number of legum!nous
plants that have, within the last twen-
ty years, attracted so much attention
as nitrogen-yielding plants. The soy
bean is probably richer in nutrition
than any OF them. It is a prolific
bearer, and as much as twenty to thir-
ty bushels Of beans per acre are not
uncommon on good land. The soy
bean will stand as much dry weather
as kaffir corn, and for that reason is
favorite crop in the arid regions of
Kansas and the Northwest. The value
OF this bean as feed for hogs has
been fully tested at the Kansas expert
ment Station. It was found that In.
dian corn fed alone to hogs made from
six to seven pounds gain in weight per
bushel, but If proportion Of one.fifth
OF soy beans was added to the feed the
increase in weight to the hogs was
practically doubled. Soy beans do
best when drilled in rows thirty inches
apart and the beans dropped three or
four inches apart in the row. They
may be cultivated with a harrow or
cultivator. Level cultivation is best.
Half-bushel Of seed is enough to plant
an acre. If planted for hay alone, they
may be sown on well-prepared land
like cowpeas-one bushel to the acre.
and cover with harrow. July is
rather late to plant this legume for
making a heavy yield of beans. The
pods, like cotton bolls, continue to
mature until frost, but there is scarce.
ly time enough when sown in July
for the pods to mature in large num-
bers.

The ORIGINAL Teleoraph.

Claude Chappe, who drowned him.
self in well on January hun.
dred years ago, was described in his
time as 1.-The inventor of the tele-
graph" says the London Telegraph. It
was not the electric telegraph that
we know, Of course. but very prim.
tive wireless continuance, a soma
phore, in fact consisting of an up.
right post transverse bar on the
top and two arms working on pivots
at the ends of this bar BY means
of a code and the placing of series
of these posts so that each could be
seen from the next, messages were
carried over fifty leagues in quar-.
ter of an hour. The French legislative
assembly adopted the system; but in
situations that Chappe had stolen it
from others preyed upon his mind and
drove him to suicide.

ATTENDANCE FOR AUGUST.
OLD TOM, THE GOLFER.
One Of the Best Known Of Devotees Of
the Ancient Game.

the Ancient Garne.
One of the best golfers that ever laid
out course or drove ball was old
Tom Morris. They called him "old"
to distinguish him from his son, who
was the most brilliant player of his
time, and to whose memory a fine
monument was erected over his grave
In st. Andrews. Once, when old Tom
was greenkeeper at Prestwick, in Ayr.
shire, he took part in a foursome, his
partner being Capt. Wolfe Murray
Next day the postman h nded Tom a
letter simply addressed to 1.-THE Mis-.
ser of Short Puts, Prestwick." This
shows how we'll known Tom was, and
also what had been wrong with
his play in the match. When
the question of Sunday play was
being discussed, Tom was asked
for his opinion. WELL he
said, "if man doesna need rest,
ken the green does" He retired from
the post of greenkeeper . the Royal
and Ancient Club of st. Andrews at
the age of 80 years, but in spite of his
great age, played fine game to the
very last.

Sugar a Universal Need.

Sugar has modified the history of
Europe and Of the world in more ways
than one" says writer. Used four
centuries ago, almost exclusively in
the preparation of medicines, and long
afterward an article of luxury only &C.
cessible to the rich, it has by enlarged
production and cheapened manufac-
ture been brought within the reach of
all The universal use of this prac.
tically pure carbohydrate, which is
not only freely burning fuel and
proteid sparer, but muscle food, in.
creasing the power of doing work
and lessening fatigue, must have had
widespread and beneficial effects on
the general health. Especially in the
case of children, whose greed of sugar
is the expression of physiological
want, has that food been valuable in
conducting to growth. contentment and
well-being."

1t very often occurs that great
deal OF fruit, and sometimes vege
tables, go to waste because OF the
lack Of knowledge that will preserve
them in some manner until they are
needed. Fruits are easily dried and
canned. but vegetables are not SO
easily preserved for future use. We
are wiser, however, than we were a
decade ago, and we are etill learning
things about canning and drying vege.

WILL OPEN THE AVENUE
BRIDGE OVER CENTRAL RAILWAY
 TO HE FINISHED sOOM
Then Extensicn Of Hiehwsy Through
 Capital EfeiEhts VIII be Ready for Use by the Public.

Within ten days the fine thorough fare to be known as the extension of Madison Avenue will be opened from South Jackson Street to the Mount Meigs road a distance of over one mile running through the proposed new residential suburb which has been designated as Capitol Heights"
 This means that within ten days the steel bridge that Is to span the tracks of the Central of Georgia Railway which passes through a deep ravine near pakwood Cemetery, will have been completed. The grading of the exten- sion of the avenue has been practically completed for some time. All that was needed to open the avenue as far as the Mount Meigs Road was the construc- ton of the steel bridge which was ordered some time ago by the Capitol Heights Development Company, pro- motors of the new suburb.
 The steel frame for the bridge reached Montgomery yesterday morn ing from Birmingham where 1t was manufactured, and was delivered on the ground ready for the workmen. Every particle of the bridge will be built of steel except the flooring and 1t was said yesterday that the con tractor will begin today to put the bridge in place.
 l. The bridge will span 1s0 fleet across the railroad cut. It cost s4,0o0 and is being built at thes joint expense of the Development Company and the railroad company.
 For some time paving experts have been at work at Capitol Heights grad ing streets and sidewalks and a num- Der of the sidewalks there have already been paved. The company has pur- chased 1000 barrels of cement from the plant at Demopolis and 1t is proposed to put down cement sidewalks throughout the Heights before houses are built there.
 The promoters of Capitol Heights are J. s. Pinckard. Albert Wilson and Mas sey Wilson.
 It will be recalled that the Mont gomery County Board of Revenue two weeks ago granted franchise to Massey Wilson and his associates to construct and operate a street railway on the extension of Madison Avenue. It Is said that the promoters of the suburb propose to build car line from Jackson Street to the Mount Meigs road which may ultimately be extended to Electric Park connecting there with the lines of the Montgomery Street Railway.
 The opening of Madison Avenue will give farmers residing on the Mount Meigs road a much nearer route to the city,
