Dog on Operating Table.

Bum black and yellow middle
sized mongrel dog, for fourteen years
the pet Of Flower hospital, having had
an ear nearly torn off in a battle with
a younger and more active canine, yes
terday ran home, made for the emer-
gency ward, and of his own intelli-
gence and a wisdom born of many
years experience with wounded and
injured persons, climbed onto an op-
Grating table and barked loudly for
surgical assistance.
The truth Of the story is vouched
for by Dan, the orderly (less well
known as Daniel Falvey), and DR.. Day,
of the hospital staff.
DR.. Day said: "None Of us was sur
prised by the dogs running in, after
having been hurt and jumping on the
operating table of his own accord.
Bum has spent most of his time
around the emel gency ward with his
friend Dan, who first discovered him
and brought him to the hospital. The
dog had seen SO many people placed
on the table, fixed up, and sent away
comparatively happy, that when 1t
came his turn he seemed to know just
what to do. He hardly let a whine
out of him as / was taking the stitches
in his head and ear
Orderly Dan is proud of his clever
old dog. He said: why, Bum could
20 into a dog hospital and be trained
nurse, he's that wise about doctoring."

concert last night were bought by
people who wanted to speculate in
them, some being purchased at the
instance Of spectators, in blocks OF
six, this being the limit for any one
person. The spectators thought
there would only be one appearance Of
the great singer and that they would
reap harvest and some tickets were
sold at fancy figure, but the Thurs
day night concert knocked the bottom
out of the plan and a number of the
seats bought on speculation at So were
sold for 81. There is general satisfac-

who have played some pretty sharp
tricks On people here during the fair

AS A MARKET GRAPE
The United States Department of Ag-

the Cultivation Of the Scuppernong.

United States Department of Agri-
culture, Bureau of Plant Industry.
Washington, D. c., Oct. II, 1906.
The Progressive Farmer, Clarence H
Poe, Editor, Raleigh, N. c.:
Dear Sir: Yours of the 2Sth ul-
timo is just at hand. Our investiga-
tion is an effort to get at the facts in
relation to all rOtundifOlia grape va
rietieS and their culture. an
effort is being made to locate all the
promising species that have thus far
been brought into cultivation and to
ascertain their record for productive
ness, size, color, quality, time of ripen-
ing, etc, with a view to ascertaining
at as early a date as possible the rela-
tive value of these varieties for culti-
walton in different portions of the
south Atlantic and gulf states.
At the same time, we are endeavor-
ing to ascertain the soil and climatic
conditions most favorable to the cul-
ture Of this species, the methods of
cult alton, training, pruning, ETC., and
the uses for which varieties are likely
to be found best adapted.
able number of promising varieties
have been brought under cultivation
in different localities, from North Car
olina southwark, many of which are
practically unknown outside of the To-
calities of their origin One of the first
efforts will, therefore, be to assemble
these promising varieties into a vine
yadr where they can grown under
identical conditions for accurate COM
parison of their important character
isticS. The yigor, productiveness and
excellent quality of the ScuppernOng
and the few other varieties of the
species that have been planted to
considerable extent in commercial
vineyards, indicate that this is the
most promising species for CONNER
cial v1ticulture in the Southeastern
United States. At the same time. we
would not advise prOmiscuous or ILL
considered planting in large areas nor
heavy paintings anywhere until the
species has been tested and found
adapted to the particular section.
This investigation is being made
under the direction OF Mr. Geo. G..
Husmann, polOlnolos ist in charge of
viticultural Investigations, who is at
present in California, assisted by Mr..
r. F. Cole, special agent, who is spend
ing the vintage season in the south
Atlantic states.
l may say, in this connection, that
the department is especially interest
ed at the present time in locating
promising varieties that have not been
generally disseminated and will ap-
preciate information regarding such
from any source.
Yours very truly,
