GROWING MEAT AN ART.

The art of growing meat that best
suits the consumer has not yet been
mastered by the average grower as it
ought to be. AS rule, the proper
ton of lean in the average animal
shipped is too large; on the other
hand, some of the fine animals are
too fat, or they possess fat that has
been improperly laid on. The great
art in growing beef is to grow it in
such way that when finished the
fat and lean will be we'll mixed. This
is the class of meat that the retail
dealers want, as there is but little
waste in the fat of such animals. 1t
is a class of meat which is in most
demand by consumers whose taste is
properly educated.
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-04-26

In setting out plants the roots
should be spread out in their natural
position to reach as much moist feed
ing space as possible. Press the dirt
firmly about the roots. More loss re-
suits from careless setting of plants
than from any other cause. AS a rule
all plants should be as deep when
dirt is pressed about them as before
taken from the nursery rows.

to know that water will not run up

The Elbert County tribune., 1906-04-26

There are two periods of plant
growth when destruction of the vi
tality is most easily accomplished,
viz, when the germ first puts forth
and when seed formation begins. In
cultivating lands the cheapest and
most perfect work is done when the
germ first comes to the light. Then
the mere stirring of the soil will de-
stroy all plants that spring from the
seed, while the best and most eff
cient work on grass lands and around
fences and road sides is by cutting
weeds and shrubs when the blossoms
begin to decay and the period of
growth is past
The Elbert County tribune., 1906-04-26

1t is not wise plan to place cat
tie on the market that are half fitted
Even though markets may be dull,
it does not pay, and it is usually true
that the poorer the markets the great
er will be the difference between the
prices paid for well-fnished cattle and
those paid for lean animals. No mat
ter how low the prices may be, there
is always a demand for first-class cat
tie. while with poor cattle, when the
markets are dull, the owner must take
a very low figure in order to get rid
of them at all.
The first object in feeding all young
stock should be to- promote rapid
growth. The development of the
frame is the essential thing, and If
the effort is made to fatten at the
same time, it may result in stunting
growth.
The earlier the horses are watered
and fed in the mornings and the
longer the interval between that time
and hitching up the greater chance is
there for the food to undergo dfges-
ton. Ordinarily farm work is not
likely to interfere to any considerable
extent with the digestive process, but
active exercise or heavy hauling
should be avoided soon after feeding.

SEEDS OF PINES AND cEDARs.

1t is not generally supposed seeds
of pines and cedars do any better in
fertilized earth than in earth that has
received applications of manure. But
these trees respond to a good supply
of plant food as much as do other
plants and trees. Pines and cedars
are, however, slow growers. and in
the forests have the protecting shade
of other trees till they get a start.
1t is, therefore, found to be best to
plant the seeds of these in beds where
they can be shaded partly during the
first two years, after which they may
be planted out into the timber belt or
forest plantation.

r E. and P. To Pay Taxes.

While no definite plans have been
made for the merger of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
Company with the Washington South
ern, said TO be the object to. be at
tanned By the three bills presented in the
Senate Wednesday by Mr.. Wickham, it
can be stated with certainty that the
controlling Interests in The two lines
have practically decided upon a CONSOLE
dalton, the surrender of the old legislat.
i've charters of both roads and tie ac-
ceptance of a new charter from the State
Corporation Commission.
The surrender IF the charter would
mean that the Richmond, fredericksburg
and Potomac would be placed on an
even footing with the other RAILROADS in
Virginia and would pay State, county
and city taxes each year OF som ethlng
approaching $50, 900. 1t is provided,
ho lever, that the road shall not be par
alleled.
The Richmond and Washington rail-
road is owned by six trunk lines, all
vitality interested in this single con-
Meeting link between the North aud
South. With the consolidation OF the
two branches into one, it is held that
this predonderance of the influence OF
the Pennsylvania would, for several
reason, be very largely increased.

Miss Rooseyelt,s Gifts.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. o. Within
few days Miss Alice Roosevelt will re-
ceive the much discussed present from
members of the party which accOwpan-
led Secretary Taft on the trip to the
Philippines. Several meetings were held
by members OF the Philippine party, and
it was finally decided to give Miss
Roosevelt pendant Of aquamarine. The
stone is of the clearest blue and of un-
usual size. II is surrounded by hoop of
diamonds and is fashioned so that 1t
may be worn as pendant or as brooch.
The clasp for the brooch is concealed so
as not to be visible when the stone is
suspended from a chain. 1t is limited
that it was the ingeniou. Secretary
of War who first thought of an
aquamarine. The name of the stone
is sufficient to recall To the BRIDE
elects mind weeks and weeks on the
Pacific while the courlship progressed
Miss Roosevelt has already received II
diamond chain from Representative
Longw0rth and similar gift from Miss
jeanne Read. The Philippine party
gift will make the third jewel Of its kind
to find its way to the Presidents daugh-
ter aud many other personal gifts of this
kind are contemplated. Mr. Hengel-
muller, the Austrian Ambassador here,
and acting dean of the diplomatic corps,
has advised his government that 1t is
the wish of the President and Airs
Roosevelt that no official gifts shall be-
presented to their daughter upon the
occasion of her marriage, aud he has
issued a circular TO the diplomatic corps
here TO the same effect. The other Flu
ropesn governments will follow the ex-
smple of Austria, and whatever pres
ents are sent will be in the name of the
sovereigns in the nature of personal
expressions of g )od.will and not as prs
ents from the governments.

is not confined to fashionable resorts,
but exists in nearly every city 10 The

The induction into Office during the
past week of the Governor was accom-
panied with simple dignity. Surround
ed by members of the Supreme Court,
members of the legislature and other
State and city officers, the Governor out
lined his plan of action dnring his term
of office, and 6guratively he has demon
strated to the people that he means to
give them a business administration by
taking of his coat and buckling down to
the duties incident to the position. Many
matters of interest to the State are be-
ing considered. Principally among those
already passed one or both Houses and
favorably reported and likely 10 pass,
are the following: An appropriation
for the public schools of $500, 900; a
bill giving the Corporation Commission
supervisor over water companies, power
to fix rates and stop discrimination; the
establishment of an additional Judi
cial Circuit Court; a bill TO prevent
loan companies charging higher than
legal rate OF interest. The following
bills are being considered with the like
lihood of one practical bill being evolved
from the many presented: A bill max
ing dogs taxable as other personal pro-
perty, with power to recover for damage
or destruction to same; a bill to pre-
vent determination OF game and fish. A
bill to relieve doctors of professional tax
will in all probability be defeated. B.
