.WouId Not Be Surprised.

There is apparently more inter-
est felt here in the outcome of the
race by Ninth district lawyers to
succeed Judge Bush as cifcuit
Judge than in any other that is
now pending, and those who are
looking on would not be surprised
to see the Claiborne County appli-
cant land the plum. 1t is known
that Mr.. Mounger is splendidly in
dorsed by the bar OF his own coun-

The Clarion-Ledger prints our
editorial of last week in reference
to the qualifications which should
be possessed by the man whom
Governor Noel will appoint as cir
cult Judge of this judicial district.
The Clarion-Ledger asks WHO IS
the mani" We have received in
quiries from other sources in re-
gard to the name of the person
whom we had in mind and as we
have never avoided stating our
views on matters of Importance we
have no hesitancy in saying that
the man is the Hon. H. c. Moung-
er.
Without disparaging the claims
of any other candidate for the
judgeship we may say that we be-
lieve that Mr.. Mounger has that
judicial poise, knowledge of the
law, and sound common sense that
are indispensable for the proper ad-
ministration of justice. He is a
man of unquestionable integrity,
honesty and probity and has the
confidence of those who have
known him for years. He is a
gentleman of unassuming manner,
pleasant address and is no player
to the galleries. He should make
an ideal judge. Vicksburg

The delegation, which comprised
about twenty-five prominent citi-
zens of the little district, was
headed by Hon. ]. McC. Martin,
of Port Gibson, and they presented
the claims of Mr.. Mounger for the
judgeship in very forceful and
determined manner.
1t is understood that the lawyers
of the district are very evenly di-

Mounger, and there is very littleaif

The influence of the height of
wheel on the draft of farm wagons
lis subject regarding which there
is considerable difference of opin-
ion. The MISSOURI Station has
made trials on macadam, gravel,
and dirt roads in all conditions,
and on meadows, pastures, culti-
waited fields, stubble land, etc. The
results obtained and conclusions
reached were as follows.
For the same load, wagons with
wheels of standard height drew
lighter than those with lower
wheels. The difference in favor of
standard wheels was greater on
road surfaces in bad condition than
on good road surfaces. Low wheels
cut deeper ruts than those of stand
ard height. The vibration of the
tongue is greater IN wagons with
low wheels. On good roads in
creasing the length of the rear AK
lie, so that the front and rear wheels
will run in different tracks to avoid
cutting ruts, did not increase the
draft. On sod, cultivated ground,
and bad roads wagons with rear
axle longer than the front one
drew heavier than one haYing both
axles of the same length. The
best form of farm wagon is one
with axle of equal length, and
wheels 80 to 36 inches high in
front and 40 to A inches behind.

to the governors office yesterday,
stated that he has given his person.
al endorsement to the candidacy Of
Mr.. Mounger, and is doing every.
thing possible in his behalf.
The present incumbent is strong
ly endorsed, but he has not secured
anything like an unanimous en-
dorsement from members of the bar
in Vicksburg, where he now re-
sides. However, it would be next
to impossible to get an unanimous
endorsement from the Vicksburg
bar on any subject or political con-
test.
Col. E. N. Scudder, whose
friends assert that he is in the run
ming, has never heretofore aspired
to judicial Office, although he is
one of the leading members OF the
Vicksburg bar, and holds high
rank in his profession. It is of
something more than passing sig
ni6cance that Col. Scudder is one
of Governor Noel's close personal
friends, and is now serving on the
governors military staff with the
rank of inspector of ordnance and
rifle practice, He was for several
years judge advocate general of the
state militia.
All in all, it looks like the gov
ernor is in an exceedingly unfor-
tunate dilemma in being forced to
choose, between these three men,
each of whom is his personal friend.
Before he gets through with it the
governor will doubtless be more

before that Mississippi ought to

mended by this Division that in.
tested carpets and other material
be busted with pyrethrum powder
or sprinkled with benzine, and that
this substance be also applied to
floors and infested rooms. The
thorough scrubbing with hot soap
suds are recommended by the Di-
vision as the last resort.
The Scotland Experiment Sta
ton says that it is desirable to
cleanse all dog kennels with lime
wash, to wash the dogs and cats
with soapsuds, and then sprinkle
them thoroughly with pyrethrum
powder. The use of creolinated
water in ten per cent solution
was also found very effective in
ridding houses of .1eas and in de-
stroying these insects on dogs and
cats.
The New Hampshire Station ad-
vises the use of creolin. 1t was
found that three per cent solu-
ton was strong enough for ordi-
nary purposes. The cats and dogs
may be dipped in this solution for
about five minutes. The floors and
walls of the house should be
scrubbed with five per cent So
luton of creoline.
Fumigation with blsulphide of
carbon and hydrocyanic acid is
very effective, but these. remedies
are perhaps too dangerous for gen.

The Rhode Island Station gives
the following reasons for practiclng
rotation of crops: "All plants do
not draw to an equal extent upon
the manurial ingredients of the
soil. They send their roots to diff
ferent solvent action upon the con-
stituents they reach. BY rotating
crops insect enemies are more apt
to be dispersed. Fungus diseas-
es may also be materially reduced.
The soil is maintained in good
tilth, and bacteria which are bene-
fetal to the plants are more likely
to be increased. The humus COM
pounds of the soil are increased,
and the work of the farm is more
easily distributed.

ncKnight Would Not Accept.

Hon. Theo. Mcknight has re-
turned from Jackson where he held
a conference with Governor Noel
yesterday with reference to the ap-
pointment of the successor of Judge
John N. Bush, as circuit judge of
this district. Mr.. Mcknight says
that he is not and will not be an
applicant for the appointment, and
so informed the Governor. He
says that while he fully appreci-
ates the honor of the position, he
cannot afford to surrender for it a
law practice worth several times
more than the salary of the office.
The following petition is being cir
culated among the lawyers of the
city today by Mr.. Theo. Mcknight,
IT,, and is being numerously
signed:
"Vicksburg, Miss, Aug. 13, 'o9

Many of the farmers in this state
are of the opinion that cotton seed
should not be fed to cattle. The
results of the experiments conduct
ed by stations show that as much
as six pounds of raw cotton seed
may be fed to milk cattle without
injury to the COWS or the quality OF
the butter. Butter made from the
COWS fed on cotton seed scored 90
points, that from corn-and-cob
meal 90 points.
There is no reason why we can
not-grow plenty of cowpea hay and
Iespedeza and other good hays to
mix with our cotton seed and OBJ
tain the most satisfactory results
from feeding the seed on our
farms.

l have tried almost every meth
cd of curing cowpea hay. | have
at last settled on the following
plan: If the peas are in rows and
full of peas, wait until about half
of the pods are ripe, pick the ripe
pods and cut the vines. When
the dew is off in the morning start
the machine. Let the vines re-
main on the ground undisturbed
until cured. When the rake starts,
begin to haul in the hay. Do not
let the rake get ahead of the wa
gon.
Of course, it is not possible to
obtain the fanciest quality of hay
without raking into wlndrows,
then cooking and leaving the cocks
in the field for two or three days,
but if it rains on the hay in wind
rows or cocks it is almost impossl-
BILE to save the hay.
This method saves a great deal
of labor, reduces the danger of loss
from rain to the minimum and
very little loss is sustained from
the shedding of leaves.

Much interest is now being tax.
en- in the subject of raising sheep.
The Wisconsin Station says: "Our
chief consideration has been to Sc
cure good rams. The high priced
rams are usually those that have
been winners of many prizes. But
this is not the sense in which it is
used here. A greater mistake can
not be made than to buy highly
fitted prize winner, no matter
what the price may be. They al
most invariably prove infertile or
incapable of service. The high
priced rams give good value when
they are vigorous without having
been pampered or starved, and
most certainly when they show that
they have the merit that attracts
higher prices in the commonest
market" !"

"No matter what special branch
of agriculture forms its main pur-
pose no farm is complete without
its family orchard," says A. v.
Stubenrauch, of the Illinois Ex-
pertinent Station, and yet very few
farmers families have pleuty lus-'
cious fruit to last the year round.
The principal reason as given by
Mr.. Stubenrauch, is that "too Of
ten the family orchard is viewed
from a commercial standpoint
that is to say, natural difficulties
which would render a commercial
orchard impossible are looked up
on as unsurmountable for the fam
lily orchard as well. " This is
wholly an erroneous point of view.
Special practices which would be
impossible and impracticable in a
commercial orchard are not only
possible but profitable in tbs
family orchard"
Now is the time TO select the
spot for our family orchard and
get in touch with reliable nursery
men. The trees ought to be Sc

The North Dakota Station says:
sThat humus, at regions of low
annual rain fall, plays q more i'm
poFtant role in agriculture than has
generally been ascribed to it; that
as humus decreases in soils they
become less productive, less reten-
tive of moisture, and inferior IN
physical quality, while on the 9TH
er hand it was found that an in
crease in the percentage of humus
is accompanied not only with an
increase in percentage ofphosphor-
ic acid extracted with the humusi
but also with a much greater pro.
ductivity OF the soil; that as the
humus increases it seems to cause
