Gotham's Democracy Makes
A Wise Selection.

When the democratic convention of
New York city nominated William
Gaynor, one of the supreme court
justices Of the state. for mayor they
chose d candidate who will be popular
--one who retains the confidence and
affection of the conservative element
of his party while being himself a
conspicuous exponent of more ad-
vanced ideas.
That Gaynor viii win over Barnard,
the republican nominee, goes without
saying. In the first place he is, by
far, the more representative man OF
the two and, in the second place, he
will have behind him machinery
which never yet has failed to do its
work when permitted to operate with
out hindrance-
Judge Gaynor's nomination does
credit to those who selected him, and,
when he is elected, he will honor his
once and do good service in cleansing
Gotham OF the evils which now infest
it.

Lumber Exports From
The Deep Water Port.

1t will take time to look into past
records, but it is safe to say that the
lumber shipments from Pensacola
during the month past exceed all Of
them. These shipments amounted 70
37,052. 900 feeti an enormous item in
the export business. Of the city which
covers a large percentage of that OF
the entire state.
1t is a great pity that more of this
lumber does not stop here and enter
into the building of new houses, tHt
some OF it does stop and every stick
of it that remains IN Pensacola and
helps to build the city is worth a
thousand sticks shipped 10 other
ports.
AT the same time. Pensacola is
proud OF its lumber export business,
is glad each year and each month
to see il grow in value.

THE RME LOSS.
Neglect Of the Orchards a Serious
Mistake.

Volumes have been written and
libraries will be written covering or
chard possibilities. Fruit growing in
the United States on business princi-
pies is practically in its kindergarten
state to-day and as usual the personal
equation cuts a very large figure In 1t.
Those who have orchards which they
handle on business principles and
work them as producers Of fruit and
hence revenue, rather than asylums
and snug harbors for insect and fun
gous pests, are each year securing
greater revenue and this increased
e is coupled with decreased
cost, for by spraying they have prac-
tically obliterated San Jose scale and

~neighbors who don't believe In spray
ing and general orchard cultivation
and care. One of the most noted or
chardists in the United States arose
in the midst of a big audience of soil
tillers one evening and pied as fol-
lows: Let the old back numbers go.
Don't urge them to spray. Let their
trees die and rot. We commercial
growers are reaping the benefit and
getting more money for our fruit each
year, as we no longer have even the
variable every other year competition
of the old-time orchards"
The foregoing quotation is taken
aom the Long Island Agronomist, and
well illustrates the fact that what is
the farmers loss is the commercial
fruit growers gain, or course, re-

Wet or Dry Feed for HOGS.

A number of experiment stations
have completed experiments in hog
feeding which show results decidedly
in favor of feeding meal in the wet
instead of the dry state. At the Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Oregon and Mis-
souri, stations the average of all trials
resulted in a gain of 100 pounds be-
ing made from 451 pounds of wet meal
while it took 4S3 pounds of dry
meal feed to produce the same amount
of gain. At the Missouri station
~ hogs were used in the test, be-
ing fed a ration consisting of four
parts whole wheat to n of bran,
while at Oregon only four hogs
were on trial and the ration used con
sisted of shorts, chopped wheat, oats

piece of coarse cloth sack, or. better.
in a small basket, and hang 1t in a
tub or keg containing four to eight
gallons water, SO that the bluestone
shall be Just under the surface. Do
this the evening before it is desired
to spray, and it will be dissolved by
morning. After it Is dissolved add wa
ter to make rs gallons Of this blue
stone solution. This must be kept in
wooden receptacles. Place the lime
in a tub or key and Stake slowly with
water. so that the action shall be
complete. When the shaking is con-
pleted add water to make rs gallons.
If the bluestone solution and the
lime solution are kept separate. they
may be kept throughout the season.
When 1t is desired to spray, take equal
quantities OF the two solutions and
pour them together at the same time
into a third barrel or tub through a
fine wire netting or screen, to remove
all sediment which might clog the
nozzle. If your pump tank holds just
so gallons and you have made up
the mixture by the above formula,
you will use all OF both the bluestone
and lime solution to fill the tank.
