also extends to all the other charac-

Of the wood or stem. Some varieties
are always stir stemmed regardless Of

Our present requirements and meth
DDS Of handling this class Of flowers
seem to direct all chrysanthemum

are preferable. For fiat punches and

softer or more pliable stems are the
most graceful. The illustration shows

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

No alfalfa for the orchard. II
takes too much moisture out of the
ground.
Wood ashes are good lawn and
general garden fertilizer, containing
potash. lime and other similar food
elements.
II an orchard is on low ground 1t
should be drained. because the air
must be admitted to the soil or the
trees will die.
The advocates Of sod mulch and cul-
tivation are still fighting as bitterly
as ever and probably will continue to
do SO until the end of time.
Prepare for the spraying campaign.
Consult our spray pump advertisers
and write to your state experiment
station for bulletins on spraying
We do not believe that pruning Is
exactly a science, but it is an art
which the individual grower must ex-
ercise according to his own judgment.
These cold. high winds make fel.
low think Of windbreaks. Let's plan
to set a row Of Norway spruce to the
windward Of that orchard. Why not?
A two-year-old tree can be started
more easily than a three-year.old.
With some varieties a one-year-old
tree is even better than two-year-
old.
An inexperienced man with pair
of sharp pruning shears will do more
harm in an orchard in one day than
all the insects combined could do in a
year.

HaShuQua Items.

The following items were received too late for
publication in last weeks issue.
We are having a big rain this,
Thursday morning, and nothing
can be done out O. doors, and we
eau get our 'thinkcrs'' on, will
try to write you a few that will
be of interest to this section in
particular and the balance of the
county in general.
Mr.. j. w. Jenkins of ShuquaIak
pafSed through the ncighbOrhOod
Tuesday for Fearn Springs, from
which place DIR. j. III. Hubbard
and others would accompany him
to the head of Pearl river for a fish.
Jim has Il reputation as a fisher
MAJ far and wide and if he proves
as good a vote catcher as he is a
fisherman, he is already elected.
Mr.. Will Thomas of Macedonia
was in the neighbOrhOOd Wednes-
day buying cattle.
Speaking of cattle leads us to
remark that Our experience with
the cattle tick this summer con-
firms our belief that we should do
everything possible to eradicate
the tick, and it should be gone at
in Il systematic way. This we
have not done all the time, and
we suppose it has been the same
with others. Recently we neg
lected too long to doctor IL cat
tie and when some of them began
to look bad we found, on inSpec-
ton that the tick was the cause, as
the StOckwas literally covered with
them. This neglect, we think,
will prove an eye opener to us. To
do the most effective work, we
think, is to not let them mature or
get grown. This is what we thought
we did for a while, and the ticks
w6rO not near so numerous, and
with perseverance and the proper
application of the remedy we be-
lieve that the tick can be success
fully eradicated, but it will take a
year or two to do it. We have
some stock that the tick did not
take to, and they look 100 per cent
better than those that have been
infested with the tick.
Mr.. A. G.. Chambliss is respon-
sible for the story that some one
of his family not long ago caught
from a hOuse-fy a good size tick
something we never heard of be
fore, though we do not doubt the
truthfulness of the story.
