THE PLUM.

cns Of the Most Luscious Fruits When
Propsriy Grown.
The following interesting communi.
cation in regard TO growing the plum,
especially in Massachusetts. is given in
Country Gentleman:
Next to the peach the plum is the
most important fruit grown anywhere
In the temperate regions. In many 10.
calities it is even more important than
the peach. This observation holds true
In Massachusetts,. for, while in some
sections the peach Is q valuable fruit
and even On important commercial
crop, there are other sections where K
cannot be grown. Plums Of some sort
can be grown, however, in every town
In the state.
This much wider adaptabllity OF the
plum Is Cue to two causes. First. there
are many different varieties, derived
from very different species, some OF
which thrive on one soil and some on
another, so that plums may be selected
for every kind OF tillnble soil. Second,
these different species vary a great deal
as to hardness. While some of them
are more tender than peaches, others
are even harder than apples, so that
they may be grown in cold districts
and exposed situations In spite OF all
its good points the plum is sadly neg
lected. In fact. it Is a rarity TO find an
adequate supply Of good plums on any
farm IN Massachusetts. There are q
few trees on almost every farm, but
the sad fact is that a majority OF them
are mere breeding places for black
knot Only a few ever bear fine, sound,
clean fruit.
As a Dessert Fruit.
Yet the plum Is one OF the most lus.
cIous fruits when properly grown and
well ripened on the tree. For eating
out Of hand it is surpassed by the
peach alone. AS a dessert fruit 1t has
no superior, while for canning It easl
ly ranks next to the peach, and foi
jelly making it competes for first place
with the red currant.
Unfortunately the general impression
has grown up that the plum is a diff
cult frult 10 grow. In certain sense
this Is so. But when looked at fairly
the plum is found to be as easily man
aged as any other crop. The difficulty
Is that men have considered it TO be o.
secondary Importance and therefor'
have not given the same careful atten
ton TO It that they have to what the!
consider more important crops.
Not Difficult to Grow.
The plum is really no more Difficult
TO grow than corn, tobacco OF straw
berries. There are a few principle
which have to be understood and
few details which have to be CAREFUL.
attended to, but. these requirement
have to be met with every other GRO
in order to make II a success.-F. a

WHAT ABOUT THAT PROPOSED
DEBATE7

The people are constantly asking
when the public debate between the IL
cense and anti-forces is to take place.
We cannot answer these inquiries, as
the recent challenge has not yet been
accepted by the License Committee. AS
already stated. the Anti-License people
hold themselves ready at any time to
arrange details as far as they are con-
cerned. The License advocates must
speak for Themselves.
Is it true that our friends OF the IL
cense Committee are afraid to accept
the recent challenge to a public debate
on the license question?
Is II true that they desire to post
pone the proposed debate until after
Mrs. i. NJ. Lake shall have left the
city for fear she might be named as
one OF the speakers?

WHEN TO FEED cows.


The Regular Routine Of Feeding and
Milking.
Feeding cows before. after or at
time of milking has but very little in
duence upon the amount of milk given
or the cows comfort, provided that,
whichever method is. adopted, it is
continued regularly. Cows, like men,
are creatures of habit They know
almost to a minute when it is time
for the grain ration OF other feed and
when the mixer is due to take the
milk. and nothing should occur to
cause a break in the regular routine o.
feeding, milking, etc.
At Milking Time.
Our own practice has been to feed
after milking. It has also seemed best
to have the COWS all attention at milk
ing time. II eating grain feed while
being MIXED, a COW is eager for the
feed and possibly brings the right hind
leg forward suddenly against the
milker, causing the pail to move about
and rattle. The unexpected noise may
cause the COW to kick or the one next
to her to do So The mixer must be
constantly on his guard. In moving
from one COW 10 another he mus;
speak to her and attract her attention
from the feed or she may kick Pos
sibly she is the gentlest COW in the
herd; but, being busy with her feed.
she kicks out at a noise in the rear
or upon being touched with the stooi
or hand. She Is nervous and seekl
to protect herself.
First Work In the Stable.
Our first work in the COW stable in
the morning is milking. The COWS be-
gin to get up and stretch. They are
perfectly quiet, are not expecting feed.
but are ready TO be MIXED, and as
each cows turn comes she puts herself
IN proper position and does not move
a muscle. She likes to feel the brush
on her flank, udder and belly, brushing
Off loose straw, hair, etc. The moment
that the last COW is finished, however,
that quiet, sleepy condition Is changed
to one Of activity.
A Matter Of Habit.
They are eager for breakfast and ash
for It with wide open eyes and gentle
lowing. They smell the ensilage as Il
comes down from the silo. Their ac
tions plainly indicate that they would
like to have the feeder hurry. In an
hour they are lying down, eyes closed
and busy with the grind Of content
ment. 1t certainly must be plain t.
every one that this is habit and that {
continuance Of such regular work /!

 Nashville. Tenn. April "A Clarksville. Tenn. dispatch says.
 The written opinion of Chancellor J. W. Stout, in an injunction suit brought by the Tobacco Planters Pro- tective Association against C. C.. Bell and Son and three tobacco grow CTS of Robertson county. has been gfv- en out. 50 co >s' -~
 The decision declares that the asso- citation Is a corporation organized un- der the laws of Kentucky to do @ warehouse commission business and to act as agent in handling md selling tobacco. holds that the signing of tobacco to the association by the grower Is simply appointing that or- ganization to act as the growers agent and that the contract is, therefore, re- vokable at the will of the grower, and that grower has the right to sell his tobacco when, where and to whom he pleases.
 The decision .holds that the grover is the principaf and~ the association Is the agent and therefore the servant of the grower. not the master and that all the powers of the associa- tion are. therefore, derived from the grower, and the latter may withdraw these powers at any time.
 The suit which brought out this decision was the filing of an injunc- tion by that organization. who were alleged to have sold their tobacco to Bell and Son, after having placed 1t to the association.

 TRIAL ASSOCIATION ACTS.
stated By Member ef Board of Health That Majority of sickness Emin- ates From Tuxedo Park
 Addition.

Selma, April 2--(Special )--At the meeting of the Commercial and Indus- trial Association tonight. arose one of the most important questions pertain ing to the future welfare of the city, that has ever been brought up at any meeting of the Association.
 The question was brought up by pr. W. W. Harper, of the Board of Helath, who asked that the Association ap- point a committee to cooperate with the City Council and with the county authorities in providing ways and means for the draining of that part Of the city known as the axedo Park addition. That section Is swampy and in which water stands the year around.
 He stated 1t was the cause of the ma jority of the sickness here. That with that section of the city properly divid- ed and severed. Selma would be one of the healthiest cities in the United States.
 He asked that a committee be ap- pointed to see the property owners, and that the services of an expert on such matters be secured sy
 From Dr. Harper's remarks, the question took general discussion to the putting in of sewers throughout the northern part of. the city. The com- mittee was appointed as follows: |. Schwarz Chairman, W. C.. Agee. 1T {. K. Graham. F. W. Abbott and A. K. . Cawthon. This committee will at once take up their work and will appear be- fore the meeting of the City Council next Monday night, at which meeting some definite action will be taken.
 The matter of the Selma post ofice was also taken up and discussed, and a committee will be appointed to con- fer with Mrs. Force, post mistress, and with Senators Pettus and Morgan. to have the Selma office classed as first class. so that more help can be secur- ed and the people have better facilities for the handling of the mail in this off, flee.
 The paving of the streets was taken up and the Association will work in unior with the city government in hav- ing this work rushed forward as rapid ly as practical.

Dix said he was sure the coming of so many delegates of the Baptist Young Peoples Union to Montgomery would be of lasting tenefit, not only to the loeal-enions, but to all Its members individually; that so many bright faces on the streets of the city would have an influence for good and that ideas would be exchanged durin g the convention which would bear fruit in time to come.
 Rev. J. L. Rosser, of Selma, respond cd to the address of welcome. Dr. Rosser said in part:
 That we are welcome we know, but none the less we like to have you tell us so. Your warm words of welcome create an atmosphere of the sort of sentiment which will Inspire us to do better, nobler and more lasting work while we are here. There Is usually 50 much of business to be transacted at our conventions tbst sentiment is too often crowded aside This should not be.
 "These palms by which I am sur rounded grow well at this season, but flourish better under the warmth of June. The roses grow to better ad- vantage under the sunrY skies of Ala barna than midst the trosts of New England. and so it is that the warmth of your welcome and the sentiment that inspires 1t is an incentive for us to put forward our best efforts in be- half of the work in which all of us are so great interested.
 After calling attention to the fact that a bureau of general information had been established just at the en- trance of the church. which would be fin charge of young ladies and gentle men competent to furnish delegates with any information desired, MT Dav- idson suggested that the meeting be- come informal.
