The sooner the barnyard fertilizers

most effectively and to make the ma

An effort Is being made by the agri-
cultural department at Washington to
introduce into the United States the
South African calabash, or gourd, the
use of which as a pipe bowl was dis
covered by the Beers. They tried to
establish o monopoly in the growth Of
the gourd and prevent the expectation
at the seed, but some were brought
over for experimental purposes. Pipes
made from this gourd are said TO be
graceful and distinctive in shape, color
like meerchaum and when imported
are said to cost from S. to $12.

The need for the rigid national in
spection of all foreign nursery stock,
a matter to which attention has been
called in these notes on several occa-
sions, has been given great emphasis
in the report which has been made TO
Secretary Wilson by DR.. l. o How
ard. chief of the federal bureau OF
entomology, who has recently return
ed from Il tour Of inspection in Euro
pean countries, the primary purpose OF
which was to confer with representa-
tives of he department of agriculture
abroad, who are aiding in the importa-
ton of parasites and other natural en-
emies of the gypsy moth and brown
tail moth. the latter pest being intro
duced into the country accidentally
upon plants imported from Europe.
Quarantine and inspection laws are
in force i'll nearly all civilized coun-
tries Of the world but the United
States. which seems to be Indifferent
20 the dangers which threaten its vast
horticultural interests. DR.. Howard
found that the inspection service i'll
force in nursery exports from Hol-
land was careful and reliable, that in
France worthless and their certificates
Of inspection of as little value. while
in England there was TO inspection
whatever of export nursery stock.
When in addition to the above it is
remembered that the very worst fun
gous pests have also been introduced
ON foreign stock it would seem the
part of wisdom for horticulturists to
unite in a demand for rigid inspection
of all imported stock as well as that
of stock shipped from one state to al
other When such inspection laws are
in force there will be some sense in
attempts TO stamp out the pests that
infiict losses running into the millions

The question of whether OF no there
is likely to be an oyerproduction OF
apples is quite effectively answered IN
tba statistical returns Of recent years.
The 1863 crop is placed ut but 42.' per
cent of a normal crop, last year IT. was
but 52.1 per cent, in 1907 34.7 per cent.
while the average for fen years past
has bean only 500 per cent. With this
condition Of underproduction conunu-
ing over so long a period and with
nonulation steadily increasing there
would seem to be slight grounds TOT
fear that the apple supply Will serl-
ously exceed the demand.

An insect known as the southern
pine sawyer, which does much dam
age to injured and felled pine trees.
has lately been studied by government
entomologists. The parent beetle is
one and one-quarter inches long and
notified gray or brown in color. The
grub is white and slender and some
times attains length of two and one
half inches. They hatch from eggs
deposited between the outer and inner
bark and when full grown have been
known TO bore clean to the heart of
large trees 1t is estimated that In
three severe storms which passed over
southern states in 1907 and 1908 2,OO0,-

and that practically all Of this was
damaged by the pine sawyer. the
value OF the timber being decreased by
their attacks more than S2,OOO,O 900.
Saving into lengths and peeling the
bark from storm felIed trees and the
getting Of logs into the water as soon
as possible are suggested as methods

the winter days CHEEKY for their little

Celery is never quite so good as
when it is eaten within half an hour
after it is dug. This is why the home
grown product is so crisp and tender
and so much enjoyed. The raising OF
celery is a simple thing, understand

and more tables ought to be supplied
with it.

The preliminary crop report issued
by the agricultural department at
washington places the average yield
of potatoes the past season at 1O6.5
bushels per acre as against yield OF
S5.7 bushels for 1908 and S9.6 bushels
as the ten year average. The total
production this year is placed at 367,-
473,OOO bushels as compared with 27S,-
o85,OOo bushels in 1908. The above
figures are very encouraging and seem
to show that the growers Of the Irish
potato are waking up.

Much can be said about the proper
handling Of the farm animals during
the winter months. Very much can
also be boiled down to the statement
that the several kinds of stock should
be provided dry and comfortable Sleep
ing quarters, an abundance OF fresh
air and a food ration which will best
enable them to do the work or serve
the purpose which they are supposed
to serve.

Because the railroads and the state could not agree upon stenographers to take the testimony in the htsga- ton on the Alabama statutory rates, which is to be resumed at Louisville January 1, Judge Thomas G. Jones, or the United States court. Monday re- scinded a portion of his former order ms to tne- employment of stenograph- CTS. and ordered that the special mas ter himself employ them with view to tho reasonableness of bids, fitness, and the like.
 By the substitute order. Judge Jones allows both parties to the hti- gation to recommend stenographers to the master. together with the terms Rpon which they propose to do the work.
 Inasmuch as the taking of testimony will entail an enormous amount of detail work and transcribing. the po- sition of stenographer in the litiga- tion is one of Importance and of con- siderable emolument. No agreement could be reached between the two bai ties, and so the employment of stenographers is put up to the mas ters.

state Laws EHect Unwitting Combina- tion by Which Money of Depart- ment ia Taken and little
 h Left

Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkinson will ask Attorney General lGarber to rule upon the right of the Agricultural Department to keep all of the $500 monthly appropriation which Is allowed by statute, whether or not all of the money Is spent during the month for which 1t is appropriated. Fly the law the money that is not used must be returned to the State Treas ury.
 7 But the Department has been shorn of much of it's funds and effectiveness by an unwilling. perhaps. action of the Legislature. A law was passed pro- viding that the prizes of sllo which is offered to each county for the best showing in agriculture. must come from the appropriation made to the depart mert. The appropriation is only &C., 900, S4.000 in a lump, and $500 q month. The prizes amount to $7,370. and there is little money left for institutes, oe- monstratson work. routine xpenses. etc. If 1t is 50 that the unexpended balance of the $500 each month must be paid back into the Treasury, the Depart ment is handicapped to an extreme de- gree. and its natural functions curtail- ed by shortness of money, as ofil siais think.

 The new license schedule has been fin process of arrangement In the hands of the finance committee, of which Alderman Moritz is chairman. for several weeks and three council meetings were necessary to complete it. Proposed changes in the schedule brought about much discussion. but final agreement succeeded in passing the bill with heavy increases in almost every line.
 Mir. Gunter said Monday that all the items in the new schedule were not in accord with his ideas of expediency. but that 1t is now necessary to get the schedule passed in time for the new years business and that such changes as are found to be necessary may be made later.

MILITIA TO CHICKAMAMCA
PRESENT INDICATIONS POINT TO
 MANEUVERS.
Although Definite Settlement of SaEs- mer's Outing Must Rest With -- Congress, ChIclxamauga Looms
 as Probable Outcome.

If all things work out as anticipated, and if Congress Is in propitious mood. then the three infantry regiments of Alabama National Guard will partlct- pate in joint manoeuvers at Chlska- mauga Park next summer similar to the expedition of the summer of 1908.
 The militia encamped, last summer. in Alabama. and each regiment sepa- rately. As much as is known of the tentative plans of the national military authorities has induced the impression that the joint maneuvers at Chicka- mauga would be held every other year. although a separate act of Congress- IS necessary for the authorization of the unanoeuvers of each year.
 That the original plan will be work ed out is the present indication, but next summer is a long time off. and many changes in the minds of the folks at the national capitol may be made.
 The Chickamauga manoeuvers were held jointly with the regulars stationed at the park, and with the militia of other States contiguous to Alabama.
