Fruit Trees in the
Poultry Yard,
By e. q. Miller.

By e. q. Miller.
The practise of planting fruit
trees in the poultry yards is
becoming quite general among
poultrymen and farmers. 1t
has much to recommend it,
since it is good for both fowls
aid trees. The shade during
the hot summer days is a very
desirable feature. The loose
soil under the trees (the top of
the ground should always be
kept loose about the trunks) af-
fords excellent opportunities
for exercise and dust baths, and
the insects, which are certain to
be attracted to the trees, fur
nish a wholesome change of
diet. The destruction of these
insects, of course, works to the
benefit of both trees and hens;
while the constant fertilization
and tillage the trees will re-
ceive promote a healthy and
vigorous growth.
The favorite trees for this
purpose seem to be the plum
and the pear. The latter is
liked because of it's sturdy, up
right habit of growth; the other
because the hens answer the
hardest question of the nlum
grower-How to get rid of the
curculio Apples, or the larger
growing varieties of cherries,
may be equally satisfactory /;
and it would seem that the
ounce might be planted to
great advantage in the poultry
yard. This fruit does not ripen
until late in the season, and is
generally picked off before it
gets ripe enough to fall, so that
the problem of what to do with
the hens while the fruit is rip
ening is solved with much less
difficulty than if cherries or
plums, apples or pears were
used.
Any of the lighter breeds of
chickens could easily learn to
fly into an ordinary plum or
cherry tree, and would play
havoc while there; while most
apples and pears have a habit
Of ripening gradually and fall
ing, one at a time. With any
of these fruits it is almost a
necessity to have another lot in
to which the chickens can be
turned while the fruit is ripen-
ing.
One caution may be given tx
the man who thinks of plant,
ing trees in his poultry runs
Do not plant too many trees
Shade is good for chickens il

necessity. Do not have the
trees so close together, or 81

Green Irish Potatoes.
Care Should be Taken to
Avoid Green while
Curing.

To the human being the Irish
potato tuber when green is a
poison. We have seen it stated
that farm livestock can be fed
this without harm. 1t is not yet
clear to us that such is the
fact.
Quite number of plants are
made into good food from bad
cultivation. Thus we have the
carrot and celery. The Irish
potato belongs to a family of
plants with poisonous charac-
teristics. Among it's members
is tobacco.
The tuber of this potato is
kept from becoming green by
being covered with soil or 9th
erwise. 1t is thus denied light,
without which the green of veg
citation cannot be produced.
The leaf, bark, and fruit Of
the Irish potato contain and al
kaloid called solanine. The bo-
tanical name of the Irish potato
is Salonum tuberbsum.
The tuber of the Irish potato
has an underground stems
stem with buds regularly placed
upon it and not a root without
any such buds, as is the way
among all true rootst
Ordinarily these potato roots
are thus kept covered and SC

cuItivatins Cotton.

AS cotton is one of our larg
est crops, will give my expe-
rience after many years cult
waiting the crop. The first es-
sential thing is to break the
land as early in the fall as pos
sible, good and deep; especial
ly land that lay out that year,
so the vegetation will have plen-
ty of time to rot, the land can
freeze, pulverize and kill out
the cut worms and other in
sects. At the proper time lay
off the rows four feet apart,
deep enough to keep the man
IRE moist, and wide enough to
cultivate. Some land, of course
needs be wider, but just as
much manure per acre as if the
rows were only three feet.
Plant the cotton, one bushel
seed to the acre with a planter
that has roller attached. Set
it to open two inches deep and
it will cover the seed from one
to one and one-half inches.
When the seed is put in that
quantity an dthat deep it will
insure stand most any year.
The faulty seed will sprout
| first and not. come through.
When the good seeds sprout
they will break the crust and
come through healthy and grew
off at once, they are not stun
ned as they would be when
there are so few. The distance
the rows are apart, of course,
has a good deal to do with the
amount of seed.
My calculation is based on
i3 IL foot rows, what most far
mers have. When the cotton
comes up run each side of it
with a narrow hoe or tooth
about / inch. If you cannot
get it to it in few days with
the hoes, put on a little wider
hoe and do the same thing. The
first chopping is the one to
take pains with. Chop it to a
stand and get out all the grass.
4 If the cotton is planted early it
will come ahead of the grass,
and save lots of expense. Mid
dies, that are split just before
the first of June and after, un-
til the crop is gone over, should
be done with a turn-plow with
small wings twice to the row,
good and deep. 1t is easier on
the team and makes it easier
the balance of the year. The
roots will ltake deeper hold and
the cotton will not shed as
much in July and August. My
observation and test is, it will
make from 100 to 200 pounds
per acre seed cotton more. II
answers a good purpose, wet
or dry weather. Another essen
tial blowing is after a long wet
spell. In cloudy, wet weather
| the cotton roots will grow al.
most on top of the ground and
cause the cotton to grow toe
fast and joint long. After
: awhile, when the sun shines
break the ground. Those roots
die and leave a large sappy
stalk with about half of the
roots that made it grow to sub
: sist on. The best thing is tt
+, plowit just as soon as possible
: Check the growth and cause the
new roots, that will come a
T once to take deeper hold.

CITIZENS ARE URGED
To ATTEND Meeting
Subject is One That Concerns VitaIIy
the Interests of Every Man, Woman
and Child in the city-SchooI Lee
lures Appreciated.

DR.. Fred J. Mayer, of New Orleans,
now touring Mississippi under the au
spices of the State Board of Health,
will deliver a public address at the
court house tonight, closing his three
days campaign in Hattiesburg.
The subject for discussion is one
of vital importance to every resident
of Hattiesburg. The rules of hygiene,
sanitation and correct living are SIM
pie. There is nothing complicated or
ambiguous about the subject. But the
average man and woman does not
pause long enough to study the ques-
tion. hence the State Board OF Health
has, at great expense, placed a lee
turer in the field for this purpose.
Correct living and reasonable pre-
cautions to. prevent the spread of
disease are more than personal mat
ters. We owe a duty to humanity
to our children, and to future genera
tions.
DIR. Mayer speaks entertainingly.
His lecture is not a dry rehearsal of
scientific facts, but plain talk along
sensible lines. Every Hattiesburgan
should hear it.

the animal attacked him, and in his
efforts to get out of the way of the
mad beast Mr.. Walker fell and broke
his foot. In the afternoon Rankin

The rumor that Portugal is to send
hostile warships to Chinese ports is
not credited here.

@NiAJ NNN"S OPNSAAA'
Jackson. November 19.-As a re-
suit of the conference held here last
night between General Manager n. G.
Pearsall, of the New Orleans & Great
Northern road, and General Superin-
tendent II. McCourt. of the Illinois
Central, and the engineers of the two
systems, the Goodyear road will have
its trains running into Jackson with
in the next sixty days.
Arrangements have been completed
for connecting the New Orleans e
Great Northern with the Illinois Cen
trail tracks at Seiger's Switch, four
miles south of this city, and all trains
on the Goodyear road will run into
the Union Station over the Illinois
Central tracks.
Fine progress is being made with
the grading and tracklaying work
south of here. The roadbed has been
completed to Ruby, a small town
forty miles south of here. and the
grading work from Ruby 10 Seiger's
Switch ought to be completed by the
18th of December. the track-laying
crews following closely behind the
grading forces, while the bridge build
ers are putting in their work as rapid
ly as possible.
No announcements have yet been
made by the officials relative to train
schedules. but General Manager Pear
sail promises an adequate service. and
there will be no temporizing with the
schedules, owing to the fact that the
Goodyear road is of standard construc-
tion, the heaviest rails being used,
while the grades are all above high
water mark in the Pearl river valley.
The Illinois Central is perfecting
local arrangements for handling the
N. o. & G. n. freight traffic delivered
at this point. The yards in the south
ern part of the city are being en-
larged, and during the next thirty
days number of new tracks, switches
sidings. etc, will be laid.
The Goodyear road has had splen-
did weather for construction work,
no delays having been caused by
heavy rains, and If an open winter
prevails there is no reason why the
company should not succeed in its
effort to have a through train serv-
ice from Jackson to New Orleans by
the 18th of January.
New towns are being rapidly built
up along the line, and as the road
will open up one of the finest agri-
cultural sections in the state its COM
pletion will give Jackson an indus
trial and commercial boom fully equal
to that which followed the compile
tion of the Gulf and Ship Island road
into this city.

TAXES REDUCED
ON SMALL ROAD

Jackson, Miss, November 19-In
assessing the several railroads Of
the state last summer the state
commission fixed the classification Of
the Oak Grove and Georgetown rail-
road at third class, and the privilege
tax at $40 per mile. At the showing
of the company that this railroad is
a narrow guage, the commission has
placed it in the fourth class and fixed
the privilege tax at 50 per mile. In
view of the fact that there is only
2 1-2 miles of the road in this state,
in Greene county, the finances of the
state are not seriously affected one
way or the other.
