Attorneys Fight in Washington Court

Il want to show you that the district

Mr.. Lipscomb knows that he is not

attorney.
You're a liar!" shouted Mr.. Lips
comb.
Then the district attorney made for
him. Mr.. Baker weighs $50 pounds.
He is not so agile as in his college
days, but he was full of fight. He
launched a wallop at Lipscomb, which,
had it landed, would have knocked
him across the court room. His aim
was bad, and the blow landed on the
assistant district attorney.
Then Liscomb and Baker clinched,
and rights and lefts, uppercuts and
jabs stirred up the court room dust,
and likewise the ire Of the Judge, who
ordered the bailiffs to separate them.
Before the court officers could inter
fere, the defendant, Collier, jumped
into the melee and stopped the pro-
ceedings. Justice Gould called the
fighting attorneys before the bar, gave
the district attorney a severe reprt-
mand and fined Lipscomb $50 for con

TO PREVENT BEE SWARMING
Bane of New B~eekeepers Can Be
Averted by Putting the Swarm
Into New, Empty Hive.
BY DIR. A. F. BONNEY.)

(BY DIR. A. +.
The bane of the new beekeepers is
the bees which will insist in casting
swarms after the first ones, called
latter swarms,'' and those which with
out known cause leave the hive and
without wen a ~"good-by" leave for
parts unknown.
l am one of those modern beekeep-
ers who believe bees should swarm
once each year, for this prevents Gin
breeding" which would ruin a stock
farm, but after this first swarm it
should be so managed that there
should be no more. How this can be
done will be understood by reading
the many articles on preventing
swarming; but, briefly, it consists in
putting the swarm into a new, empty
hive on the old stand.
For a~bsconding swarms l know no
remedy, unless it be that you always
put bees into a cool, well-shaded hive
which is clean and out of reach of
vermin. There is not much danger
that a swarm of bees will leave a hive
filled with brood, but they sometimes
do it. The greatest fear of an abscond-
ing swarm is that they will leave be-
fore the queen has got to laying, SO
that there is nothing to keep v e a
portion of the bees from leaving.

POTATOES
Much Speculation Over "Discov-
ery' of This New Plant.
Value Of Vegetable Established Be-
yond Any Question ef Doubt by
Various Experiments in This
Country.

Some farmers of Sangamon county,
ILL.,, during the last season have
grown sweet potatoes without vines,
and as this variety has new been
grown in the north to n extent there
has been a great deal of speculation
over the discovery of this new plant.
VineIess sweet potatoes, ~so-called,
are not very we'll known, though they
have been grown in some parts Of the
south for many years. Doubtless the
Illinois farmers got some of the seed
of this variety from the south without
knowing what it was.
The place of origin of this variety is
somewhat in dispute and the probable
ity is that it was Independently Origi-
mated by at least two men. One report
seems to give satisfactory evidence
that it was found in 1884 on the plan
tation of George Harvey, near Column
bus, Miss, in a field of the old-fash-
toned yam sweet potatoes. By 1898
this variety had been written up for
most Of the leading agricultural pa
pers by C. C. L.. Dill Of Dillburgh,
Miss, according to his own statement.
Another report of the origin Of a
N11lC1CS0 0WOOC pOCoCO "AAOh OOOAAO
authentic was given in the Atlanta
Weekly Constitution for December 26,
1893. In an article in that issue by
A. G. Paddleford of Edwards, Miss,
he states that his father, T.. D. Paddle
ford, found the strain in 1865 in a field
of the "o~ld-fashioned Longtime yam"
Whatever may have been the origin
of this variety, the following seems
certain: It is a mutation or sport"
from the old-fashioned yellow yam,
and it resembles that variety in flavor,
character of tubers and shape of foil
age.
These "vineless" or bunch" sweet
potatoes have been tested at the Tex
as agricultural experiment station, and
the following statements represent
the conclusions reached from these
tests: The value of this type of sweet
potato is established beyond question,
the same as that of the bush lima
bean. There is, however, only one
strain which can be Endorsed. There
are two other strains which have not
proved as productive, and many of the
partial failures reported are attributed
to these having been used instead OF
the one good strain.
The foliage of these two inferior
strains is much less dense n the
stems of the leaves are not nearly Sc
long nor so heavy as those of the
strain Endorsed. In one of these two
strains not recommended there is a
wide range of variability in vines
tops and tubers. One has foliage OF
small size and less dense on the vine
than the other, the vines measuring
from four to eight feet. The tubers
of one are just like those of the par
ent variety, while those of the other
are reddish yellow and resemble very
much the pumpkin type. The strain
recommended is the only true vine
less sweet potato" It's vines are two
to four feet long, with heavy, dense
foliage.
