BARONS FINED
 FOR PLAYING CARDS
MEEK, SMITH, CLARK AND RAGAN DIDN'T MIND THE FINE, BUT GRIEVED OVER THE DISTURB ANCE-TEN-CENT LUNCH.

Atlanta, July fSpecial) )-Four Bir- mingham ball players, H. J. Meek, But termlk," II. D. Clarke, "Ginger;' A. Ra- gan, Rip and C. smith, "Horseshoe,' were caught in social game of poker in the hotel at noon today by Detectives Roberts and Starnes.
 It was a 1O-ceut limit game and things were going well when the officers got look in. There was $1.70 on the table and no chance for a bluff. All stood pat and in high good humor went to the station with the officers. They declared that no harm was intended, but after some con Versation each raid a me of $5.10
 The Birmingham officers arrested sev- eral Nashville ball players about two weeks ago for similar offense.

Atlanta. July 1o.-(Special.) l.)-A1though Atlanta bats fairly rained hits this aft ernoo and there was precious little doing in the smash line on the part of the Barons. the visitors copped the second and last game of the series, thus prov ing the truth of that old adage, Pride goeth before A fall" Score, to 3.
 Before the Barons came to Atlanta there vas great ju|llation Montgomery proved easy and now the easier Barons are ccming.' Is the way the sporting writers of this city framed it up, and the climb of the Atlantans to the top rung of the ladder was sure to con tinue

The ring of safe hits was not stopped, but the rungettlng ceased for a long while, and after the advent of the slagpie star there was just one more run pulled across the plate by the locals.
 Castleton's Wild Heaving.
 The visitors were hungry in the first inning and before they had completed mat round of play had about eaten all the runs of the game.

IMPORTANCE OF UNIFORMITY.
Prof. L. c. corbett, Of Department Of
Agriculture, on Fruit Shipment.

The fact that the eastern fruit
growers and truck growers are not
as well organized as are the western
and more distant producers is very
largely due to the fact that they have
the advantage of lower express rates
and that the merchants will handle
their goods in small consignments.
BY this method of small individual
shipments. the product upon the mar.
ket is less uniform in character. both
as regards grade and method and
type of package, than is the case
when the product is marketed through
the exchange and in carload lots. In
order to handle carload shipmer Is
successfully. vegetables must be II III
form in character and size and the
product well graded These are ad-
vantages which have been learned by
distant shippers and which have. IN a
great measure, been forcen upon
them by the necessity of shipping in
carload lots.

AN oRcHARoIsr's OPINION.
The Grass Method Of orehardins Good
Under Some Conditions.

A good deal of discussion is going
on about the grass mulch method of
orcharding. l believe 1t is all right
under some conditions, but though IL
is successfully practiced on our farm
l do not like to advocate the method
in public. Most farmers have too
much grass already with their trees
for their own or their owners good
wrttes George c. Hill. in Farmers Re-
view. The orchard is moved or mas
tured; the trees are sod-bound. stunt
ed. starved. drought sick. unproduc-
tive / am acquainted with one pro-
ductive orchard in Wisconsin that is
in grass. 1t contains about 100 trees.
many of them 80 years old. About
one-third of the number are Fameuse
The orchard was in cultivation 12 or
Is years. The trees were headed low
and cultivation became difficult.
Then it was seeded to clover. After
some years June grass took possess
sion of the ground The grass mulch
method would cut the grass and nile
it under the trees to keep the soil
moist and make fertility. Our prac.
tice Is to take up one crop of grass
and top dress literally with stable
manure, No pasturing is allowed.
The second crop of grass makes a
cover crop for winter protection. Any
small trees liable TO be girdled are
banked with earth or coal ashes. The
low habit of the trees makes 1t too
shady under the branches for grass
to flourish. The. tough sod is not
found there. Fruit that falls to the
ground meets clean, comfortable
reception. The trees have been
longer lived than those planted on
neighboring farms with different
treatment. No trees were lost or an.
parentiy injured during the destr,c.
tive winter of 1898 and 1899.

FIGHTING PESTS.
A Word Of Explanation About Fungi.
cides and Insecticides.

There are two general classes Of in
secticides, says a communication from
the Oklahoma station. The first class
OF mixtures contains some poisonous
substance that kills the insects when
1t is eaten with the foliage or fruit on
which it is lodged. Paris green. Lon
don purple, and white hellebore are
the poisonous materials most COM
monty used in these mixtures. These
mixtures are effectual in destroying
only those insects that eat the foliage
or fruit of the plants, and are harm
less to the insects that suck the juice
Of the plant.
The other class OF insecticides kills
the insect by coming in contact with
the body. Kerosene emulsion. whale
oil soap. and pyrethrum powder are
the most common materials used In
these mixtures. Mixtures of this class
are used chiefly to destroy those in
sects that suck the juice Of the plant
and cannot be destroyed with poisons.
The poisonous insecticides may be
mixed with fungicides and applied all
in one spraying, but other insecticides
must be applied separately.
The fungicides and insecticides, IL
properly prepared and applied. have
no effect upon the plants. If the mix
lures are not properly prepared aud
applied they do not form the desired
protection to the plants and may
damage the foliage and fruit. There
is never enough poison on the we'll
sprayed fruits and plants to alter
their value for food. Most fruits ara
oil
of the spraying material removed. In
the case of fruits that are not pared
before eating, as grapes. person
would have to eat from 300 to 500
pounds to get small dose Of poison.
1t will always injure the sale of such
fruits, however, If there are any signs
of spraying material on them whom
placed on the market
