The man who neglects to clean his
seed oats should not complain if the
crop IS full of all kinds of noxious
weeds. No kind of backward weather
will effect the growth of weeds. The
weed crop can be materially lessened
by using clean seed.
Recent experiments have demon
strated that electricity i'll promote
the termination Of seed. At the Mas
sachusetts experiment station in col
lection of seed treated for twenty-four
hours, 80 per cent more terminated
under the current than in lots not
treated 1t is said TO act very much
as light does in its stimulating effects.
There seems to be a wide field of al
most limitless possibilities open for i
entists.

An experienced fruit grower says he
planted about 500 pears some eight
years ago, Keiffer, Duchess, CARRIER
and others, and that all had gone by
blight except the Keiffer and CARRIER.
He said the Bartlett should never be
planted, as it would not live. He ad-
vocated cultivating pears for four years
and then be seeded down to clover or
grass. In pruning he cuts back about
one-fourth of previous years growth
and keeps the trees in good shape. He
claims that Keiffer and CARRIER should

1t has been observed by various farm
ers, when too late to make amends, that
one of the most common mistakes made
is that Of trying to get along with the
farm work with too little help or with
too few horses. Much of the labor is
rush work, and in order to have it done
timely you must have both the man and
the horse power.

1t IS better to be successful farmer
on a small scale than it is to be an
unsuccessful farmer on d large scale.
As a lamb is perhaps the most diff
ficult of all animals to recuperate at
ter once stunted, it pays to keep thrifty.
It Is fair to assume that the no ac-
count farmer is the one who seldom
keeps any account Of his farm opera
tons.
1t Is most difficult for US to profit by
the failure of another man for the sim
pie reason that another's burn does not
keep us from playing with fire.
Watch a horse you are thinking of
buying and if he walks we'll it is safe
to buy him. A horse that is good
walker is usually all right, barring
vicious habits.
The stunted pigs will make fine fat
porkers for the meat-barrel next win
ter, if singled out now and penned by
themselves where you can give them
extra attention.
If a corn planter is to be converted
into a potato planter it will pay to
make the rows closer together than corn
rows. Most planters place the rows
three feet six inches apart. Potato
rows should not be further apart than
three feet.

mends growing black loCusts for posts.
Will it pay? They are subject to many
enemies and will sprout up from the
roots and become very much of a nuts

grown in about ten years.
The farmer who is getting the best
results from his dairy herd is not sup
posing that everything is all right; he
knows 1t is hard to make some men
believe they own poor COWS. The wise
man soon finds it out and Goes the
proper thing to make amends.

Special TO The Times Dispateh.l
.tSHEv1LLF,. n. c.. February g.
An unusual incident featured the close
OF the trial OF Melvin Y Angel. charged
with counterfeitng, in the United States
Court hore yesterday.
When the argument had closed, Judge
waddiil was handed telegram, and aft
ter reading it he informed the jury that
he had intended to allow them to consider
the case over night. trit he had received
n telegram which made 1t necessary for
him to charge the jury at once. He then
called the attorneys to his room and held
a short conference with them. On the
Judges return to the courtroom he
charged the jury, ana then stated to them
that he would ask that they return
verdict as soon as possible.
When the Jury returned 1t presented a
verdict OF Not guilty. against Angel.
and was at once discharged. Judge Wad-
dill then called one of the jurors. John
r. Stevens, to him and told the juror
that the telegram he had received con-
tanned the information that Mr.. Stevens's
brother had died ut Wtllets. Mr.. Stevens
at once left to go to the deathhed of his
brother. Judge Waddill had refrained
from delivering the message to Stevens
during the progress of the trial as II
would have rendered him incapable OF
rendering proper verdict. and probably
have necessltated n new trial.
