form layer and place it in white
saucer, or, better, in plain glass
dish. Set basin of water-as warm
as the hand can bear-on the outside
window ledge and place the dish con-
tanning the chloroform extract in 1t,
closing the window until the chloro-
form has completely evaporated. In
this manner the operation may be con-
Quoted with safety even by one who
is not accustomed to handling chloro-
form. In warm weather the vessel OF
warm water may, of course, be omit
ted. Benzoic acid, if present in con-
siderable amount, will now appear in
the dish in Characteristic fiat crys-
tails. On warming the dish the I'M
mistakable irritating odor of benzoie
acid may be obtained. This method
will detect benzoic acid in tomato
catsup or other articles in which it is
used in large quantities. 1t is not
sufficiently delicate, however, for the
smaller amount used with some ar
ticles, such as wine. 1t is often con-
venient to extract larger quantity OF
the sample and divide the chloroform
layer into two portions, testing one for
salicylic acid and the other for ben
zoic acid.
DETECTION OF BoRIC ACID AND
BORAX.
Boric acid (also called boracic acid
and it's compound with sodium (boraX)
are often used to preserve animal
products, such as sausage, butter and
sometimes milk. For the detection
of boric acid and boraX, solids should
be macerated with small amount OF
water and strained through white
cotton cloth. The liquid obtained by
treating solids in this manner is clari-
fed somewhat by thoroughly chilling
and filtering through filter paper
In testing butter place a heaping
teaspoonful of the sample in teacup,
add couple of teaspoonfuls of hot
water, and stand the cup in vessel
containing little hot water until the
butter is thoroughly melted. Mix the
contents Of the cup well by stirring
with a teaspoon and set the cup with
the spoon in it in cold place until
the butter is solid. The spoon with
the butter (Which adheres to it) is
now removed from the cup and the
turbid liquid remaining strained
through white cotton cloth, or bet.
ter, through filter paper. The liquid
will not all pass through the cloth or
filter paper, but sufficient amount for
the test may be secured readily.
In testing milk for boric acid two or
three tablespoonfuls of milk are placed

The raspberry, blackberry and dew
berry will need careful thinning out
and short pruning of the bearing
canes, and then, after the fruit is well
set, take off one-half or two-thirds of
the berries, and keep down the young
sprouts and canes so that the strength
will go to the berries. Fertilize with
four pounds muriate of potash and
two pounds of nitrate of soda per
square rod.
For next years fruiting, grow the
canes for this especial purpose, re-
tanning about one-fourth as many
canes as usual and then treat the
same as above; picking, handling,
wrapping and packing the same as
for the strawberry. Fine clusters and
branches where they can be retained
should be shipped as clusters after
wrapping.
Twisting the canes often causes
them to produce large fruit. and
water is often used with one pound
muriate of potash and one-half nj
trate of soda to 20 gallons of water
to help increase the size. especially If
the weather is dry. Mulching is nee
essary and watering can be done
safely.

NovIcEs AND INcUBAToRs.

Recently gentleman said that he
had a mortgage on a farm and was
inclined to buy a number of incuba-
tors and put them on the farm in
charge of his brother. He thought
he could thus build up a good poul-
try business. His idea seemed to be
that all he had to do was to put the
money into the work and 1t would run
itself. On inquiry, it was found that
he knew nothing at all about poultry
culture The writer advised him to go
slow, as there is no branch of farm
ing that does not have to be learned.
1t is not for the benefit of poultry SCI
ence to have men rush into poultry
raising in this way. They must ap-
proach the business from a proper
standpoint to make a success of 1t.

1t is a good plan to have box of
salt and ashes-half and half-placed
where the hogs can run to it and eat
what they want. This mixture acts
as a tonic, avoids constipation, and
is all the medicine. hog will need,
IL he has good pure. water to drink,
all the feed he will need. and clean
dry place in which to sleep. There is
no more reason why a hog should be
everlastingly drugged with medicine
than there is for a person to be TAX
ing medicine all the time. Santa
lion is better than drugs for hogs.

THIRSTY BEES.

Just at this time when every bee
counts in keeping up the heat of the
hive and in caring for the young brood
it is important that suitable watering
place should be provided in order that
no more of the hold-over workers shall
be lost in drinking at bitches and
troughs than can be helped. A simple
watering arrangement and one that
will serve the purpose of providing the
bees a permanent place which they
will patronize quite regularly in a
short time is made with box or table.
Tack on a piece of burlap or coarse
canvas with a barrel or keg located at
the upper edge. The barrel should be
kept filled with fresh water and COW
cred while the water trickles out of a
small gimlet hole near the bottom and
spreads slowly across the table
through the meshes of the goods. This
forms an ideal foothold for the bees
while they sip the water without dan
ger of drowning or being disturbed.

Unless the breeder is accustomed to

Rice Experiments Continue.

The United States department OF
agriculture is continuing its expert
mental stations on rice fields in the
vicinity of Charleston, to show profit
able use Of the soil, now that there
has been such a general abandon
ment of rice culture, on account OF the
low price of the staple incident to
>verproduction.
Professor w. R. Beattie, assistant
horticulturist of the department, gives
it az his opinion that the South Car
olina rice will always command 4
sale and the market will be better,
now that there is such a general d.
versifcation of crops in the south
west, where the competition in rice
cultivation has proven detrimental to
the South Carolina staple. While he
favors diversification here through the
drainage of the rice lands and the
raising of such truck and grasses
as will grow, he thinks that the farm
ers should not abandon entirely the
cultivation of rice.

GRosVENOR BADLY BEATEN.
Veteran Ohio Congressman Loses Out
In District Convention.

Veteran Ohio Congressman Loses Out
In District Convention.
A special from Lancaster. Ohio,
says: After service Of over twenty
years in congress, General Charles H.
Grosvenor, the "sage Of Athens" was
defeated for denomination in the dis
trict convention Wednesday on the
first ballot by Albert Douglas of Chill
Hcothe, Ross county, the vote being
73 to 20.
Early in the day the friends Of Cen
eral Grosvenor we're claiming his
nomination on the promise Of John
F. White of Hooking county, that he
would throw the vote of that county
to Grosvenor.
The man who defeated General
Grosvenor is So years old and a Jaw
yer at Chillicothe. He graduated at
Kenyon College in 1872 and at the
Harvard law school in 1874. He was
a presidential elector at large and
president of the Ohio electoral col
lege in 1896 and was defeated for the
republican nomination for governor
in 1899. He is a fine orator and has
dominated the politics of Ross county
for years.
The nomination was made amid the
widest excitement.
The defeat Of Grosvenor was rem
dered the more bitter from the fact
that his own county, Athens, did not
give him single vote, and he did not
get a solid delegation from any coun-
ty in the district. The defeat was
crushing in the extreme and there is
talk that he will run independently.

low ToIbert Lost Out.


A Washington dispatch says: R. r.

will not be postmaster at Abbeville,
S. C. The president seemed some
what surprised when Senator Latimer
and Representative Aiken informed
him that such an appointment had
been contemplated and forthwith Or

What, is he the Tolbert who came
up here a year or so ago with long
pistol and wanted to kill my friend

Mr.. Leupp is now commissioner OF

TILLMAN W|LLLEAD
In Senate Fight for Hepburn
Railroad Rate Bill.
DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL
Their Votes in Committee Meeting Did
the Work Republicans Badly
Split Over the Great
Question.

A Washington special says: By TAX
ing advantage just at the right time
Of the opportunity presented to them
Friday, the democrats of the senate
Interstate commerce committee not
only succeeded in forcing a favorable
report upon the Hepburn bill just as
it came from the house, but succeed.
ed in getting possession Of the bill,
which has been much touted as the,
administration measure.
The net result Of the days action,
studied from strategical standpoint,
is that all the credit for taking this
advance toward securing adequate
legislation must go to the democrats
thus, in the great fight to come over
the rate question in the senate, the
democrats have all the advantage Of
position.
The bill will be in the hands of
Senator Tillman, senior democrat upon
the committee, and under his leadet-.
ship the democrats will see to It thai
rothing Is permitted to stand in the
way Of the enactment Of an adequate
rate law.
After the committee had adjournef
Senator Tfilman held levee IN his
committee room. There were present
several democratic senators to con-,
graduate him upon the practical vic
tory secured by the party In getting
control Of the rate bill, and there
were also present several newspaper
men.

sible conferences between him ana

it was thought a year ago when the

that the number Of commands and

companies are much exercised.
The militiamen are also chafng

Sea Island Seed Cornered.

A Washington dispatch is as fol-
lows: There is an impression prevail
ing in the department Of agriculture
that the growers of sea island cotton,
in South Carolina, have formed cor
ner in sea island cotton seed, or that
they are saving their crop Of seed for
the coming season for planting.
Representative Brantley, who rep,
resents the Brunswick district in
Georgia, has a large constituency, en-
gagged in growing sea island cotton.
During the many years he has been
in congress he has been able to OBJ
tain from the department Of agrical-
ture a reasonable supply of cotton
seed for distribution in his congress
sional district. A few days ago Mr.
Brantley called upon the department
Of agriculture, as usual, to deliver to
him his quota of sea island cotton
seed. After waiting several days he
received the following letter, which
is self-explanatory
Dear Mr.. Brantley: Referring to
your favor of the 10th instant, ask
ing that you be furnished with an al
lotment of sea island cotton seed,
am sorry to state that there will be
none of this seed distributed this year
for the reason that the South Caro-
lima growers, from whom we have al
ways gotten our supply, have refused
absolutely to sell any seed outside OF
South Carolina this year.
Regretting that we are not In a
position to meet your wishes in this
instance, I remain, very respectfully
