To Combat Cabbnge Margots.

To Combat Cabbage MaggOts.
For cabbage maggot use lime or wood
ashes, or both mixed, sprlnkling them
over the soil and plants. But a new
remedy used last year was made from
a very strong soapsuds, to which was
added one pint of crude carbolic acid
to gallon Of the boiling suds, and
the mixture made into an emulsion By
shaking 1t together in tightly covered
pail. Take this emulsion and add to
thirty times Its bulk of water, and use
freely around the plants. OF course
this remedy would not be practical on
very large area, but for those who
raise only a few cabbages it seems to
be- the best plan there is. The large
growers do not bother much with rene
dies, but rely on using fresh ground
about every year to prevent attack by
such pests.

Some Of the Things to Remember In
Order to Best Dispose OF
the Crop.

August is the month for heavy pro-
duction of lima beans. They continue
TO bear, however. till the first hara
killing frost. The amount and length
of profitable bearing depends largely
upon keeping the vines picked clean
and not allowing pods to get dead ripe,
for the ripened seed of any kind takes
most vital substance out OF the plant
and causes Il to die. Besides the beans
when not quite ripe bring the highest
prices. The time to pick the pods is
when they show faint traces Of light
green to yellow. After the pod be.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, Il Is usually ,neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fneness of the fabric Is
hidden behind n paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiancc Starch, as II can be applied

CROOK MAY MAKE RACE.
Has Been Frequently Mentioned a
 Corners Successor.

Jacksonville, January T-(Special J. Capt James Crook of this city has fre- quently been named as a very probable candidate for the position of president of the state railroad commission-a position which he formerly held-should B. B. Conner be elected governor. When seen yesterday by your representative here and questioned as to the probability of his announcing for the position in question, he made the following reply:
 Yes, it is true that friends have fre- auently urged me to enter the race for president of the railroad commissioners which, you know, will become vacant only upon the election of MT. Conner to the office of governor-but I wish to state very emphatieally that I will not take any positive action upon the suggestion
 As you know, I am now president of the Southern Cotton Growers associa- ton for Calhoun county an organization which wisely excludes politics and promptly disposes of any official who aspires to political preferment. And most heartily endorse this feature of the organization, for into all other organiza- tions or orders looking to the prosperity of agriculture and independence of the farmer, politics has brought discord, dis sension and disintegration. I believe that the hope of the south is dependent upon the success of the Southern Cotton Grow CTS association and the success of the association contingent upon the exclusion of politics and politicians from its coun- els. I would not support any man for office who had nothing else to commend him to me than his membership in the Southern Cotton Growers association: and if at any future time I give my con sent to become a candidate for public of flee, l shall resign my position with that organization, take my chances with the boys and solicit preferment upon merit alone''
 Captain Cook sincerely has the inter- ests of the south and the prosperity of the southern planter at heart, and he will hence very likely give serious considera- ton to an announcement as candidate for commissioner of agriculture. However he declines to commit himself and it cannot be stated authoritatively that he will make any political overtures at all.
 H. F. Montgomery Of this city. who was recently appointed by Probate Judge E. F. Crook to examine the books of Coun- ty Treasurer H. B. Glover, has com pleted his examination, and reports Mir Glovers books to be in a very good con dition. When seen by The Age Herald representative yesterday, MT. Glover stated that the condition of the county treasury is highly satisfactory there now being larger surplus on hand than there has been at any former time during his incumbency. Owing to a recent illness in his family, MT. Glover says that he is not in position at present to give the exact figures of the county's financial standing, but he will make a report to the county commissioners next week, when the figures will be made public
