COMMISSION Will
DECIDE MATTER
AS to Whether or Not the Gulf and
Ship Island viii be Permitted to
Put on Saturday Special.

Special to The NeaoS.
Jackson, Miss, July 26.-The rail-
road commission will decide this week
whether the Gulf and Ship Island will
be permitted to put on the Saturday
fast flyer. Captain Webb, president
favors it as an experiment, and it is
believed DR.. Sheppard and Mr.. Scott
will agree to allow the road to try
the train for one month, at least, to
see what can be done with it.
The commissioners will get togeth-
er one day this week on other bust
ness, but Capt. Webb, in a letter to
Mr.. James S. Cooper, secretary of the
Mississippi Travellers Association,
said he would bring the matter to the
attention of the other commissioners.
II they would agree to the plan, a
permit will be issued by Capt Webb
for the Gulf and Ship Island to put
on the train, and an order to that
effect will be formally passed at the
next meeting of the commission.
The officers Of the road are willing
to try the experiment for thirty days,
but do not want to put it on If the
commission would force them to CON-
tinue the train at a loss.
The train, if put on, will make it's
first trip either next Saturday or the
Saturday following The fare for the
round trip will be So, and the train
will leave Jackson at 1870 o'clock, ar
irving at Gulfport about o'clock in
the evening. Returning, it would
leave Gulfport early Monday morning,
putting Gulf Coast visitors into Jack
son about 10 o'clock, which would
take them from their business but
short time Monday. morning.

drop out even at the eleventh hour,
chiefly the few who begin life upside
down, and hence can not obtain air at
the last stage of growth.
Having thus increased Our poultry
stock by thirty head, it soon became
necessary to enlarge the little yard in
which they had emerged into the world.
This was quickly effected by the addi-
ton of a few more panels of the NOV
able fence The next thing, of course,
was more durable coops; barrel coops
are very useful in sudden emergencies,
or in the absence of anything better, but
when I knew of that something, | was
bound to haye it. I had made such
coops before, and past experience taught
me their value as the best, nor have l
ever had occasion to alter my mind.
After years of use [ can still say that
this special coop answers every require
ment of mother and chicks, and cannot
be improved upon.

GOATS AS BRUSH DESTROYERS

The owner of badly brier-infested
or brush-covered farm has before him
an expensive and disagreeable task if he
intends to clear it by natural labor.
Many millions of dollars have been ex-
pended in this country in that kind
of work, and many millions more will
be spent in the same direction. But the
Angora goat will do the work for moth
ing and will pay for the privilege. It
prefers briers and brushes to the best
clover and grass that was ever grown
An Iowa landowner has cleared six hun
dred acres of brier and sand brushes
through this agency He estimates that
the goat has increased the value of this
land at least ten dollars an acre, and
while the animal has been making the
owner money in that direction it has
been contributing to his bank account
with its hair, skin and flesh.-Oregon

and do escape the clumsy feet of their
well-meaning mother; if hard pressed
by her erratic capers they retreat under
the sloping sides or run out by the front
or back door. The coop is easily made,
and if white pine from knock-down
packing boxes is used instead of the
heavy yellow pine, it will be light to
lift about.
So much for the first lodgings pre-
pared for our embryo poultry ranch.
Of course, as the chickens grow larger
a different sort of shelter had to be
built, but its story will be for another
time. There was other work to do while
they were growing. At present [ will
merely rise to remark that the expert
ence and study of over twenty years has
satisfied me that there is no place like
Florida for profitable poultry raising:
She can't be beaten or even equalled
the world over, and her people are just
tardily awakening to that fact. Better
late than never"

tie opening showing at the back has a
hinged door which is closed at night
with a catch such as is used on closet
doors. Do not trust to hook or but
ton, or you may regret it as we did
before we learned by sad experience
that the rubbing of a 'possum or coon
or skunk against that tiny door would
result in opening it far enough to let
in a cruel claw, and let out some un-
lucky chicks. The catch gets the better
of such wicked providers every time
The hinged front, held up as you see,
by strong cord tied to a nail at the
peak, can be lowered to form sloped
roof at any desired angle, and thus
make shelter from sharp winds, driv
ing rains or a too hot sunshine. At
night it should be always closed and
hooked so that no "varmints" can break
in and steal the little folks so snugly
cuddled within. The upper front slat is
made to slide to one side to permit the
hens exit and entrance when the chicks
are old enough for her to have her
freedom.
This triangular coop rests on the
ground, but has wooden floor within
fitting close to its edges, SO that water
will run off on the ground, leaving the
floor dry even in the heaviest rains The
floor is loose, so that it is easy to lift
the coop off and clean the bottom Y ou
will notice the wire net ventilator in the
front wall; there was one also at the
back and I will say just here that later
on when experience had taught me the
penetrating power of the driving rains
of the summer season, nailed a slop-
ing board above each venilator, the
back one serving for the little door also.
Everybody who has used the old style
straight wall coops knows by sad ex-
perience how frequently the chicks are
stepped on and killed by the hen. Now,
in the triangular or roof coop they can

THE CITRANGE
AND THE TANGELO.
Hybrid Citrus Fruits Developed by
the Bureau of Plant Industry.
BY w. E. PABOR.
THE CITRANGE.


AS general thing citrus fruit cul-
ture in Florida is as safe from disaster
as are the deciduous fruits of the North,
where late frosts in the early spring are
often the bane of the peach and apple
growers; yet there are seasons when our
special fruit industries in Florida suffer
from the effects of the blizzards that
arise in the land Of the Dakotas, sweep
over the central and Gulf States and
pass over our peninsula like a bosom
of destruction. During the century just
closed three such severe blows-in 1885,
1886 and I8o5-have been in evidence,
destroying all budded fruit throughout
the State and seeding trees through the
northern section. To the end that har-
dier varieties capable of enduring lower
degrees of temperature may be develop
ed, the Bureau of Plant Industry has
been experimenting for several years
with some measure of success. For this
purpose a species of citrus known as
Trifoliata orange has been used as stock
to bud on, and varieties like the Tan
gerine have been crossed with it, pro-
ducing hybrids more or less satisfactory,
two of which may be said to be valuable
initial varieties added to the hardy list.
These have been produced by crossing
the common sweet orange with that of
the trifoliata, but they are not equal IN
sweetness to budded varieties. They are,
says H. J. Webber, in describing them,
neither sweet oranges, trifoliata oranges
nor lemons. One has been named the
Rusk, and was developed by G. IL. Nor
ton in his grove at EuStls, fla. The
other, also originating in the Eustls
grove, has been named the Wilt. Both
are somewhat sour and are more like
lemons than oranges. 1.-The fruit OF the
Rusk is beautiful little orange of ex-
cellent texture and exceedingly juicy. x x
The Wilt citrange has different flavor
and possesses palatable acid taste !.
Since the year 1000 this new class of
citrus fruits has been tested along the
northern border of the State and found
to be extremely hardy, withstanding a

temperature of 18 degrees above zero.
AS material for "citrange" drink, in
time they will replace the lemon, while
their abundant supply of juice will make
them useful for culinary purposes.
A third variety, known as the Morton,
was distributed in 1906 by the Bureau
of Plant Industry, which was already
produced what is held to be fine fruit, in
Baker, one of the border counties of the
State. But these new groups of citrus
fruits have little value for Florida ex-
cept to its nurserymen, who will propa-
gate them for planting in the lower
portions of the Gulf States as far as
800 to 400 miles north of the orange
growing line.
THE TANGELO.
While the experiments which resulted
in producing the citrange were in pro-
gress, similar work was going On in
efforts to create a fruit combining the
qualities Of the tangerine orange and the
pomelo, resulting in the tangelo, which
possesses the rind of the first and
sweeter flavor than the last, and two
named varieties are known now in the
citrus world as the Nocatee and the
Sampson. The last named is likely to
become of commercial value, especially
in South Florida, for its hardness is no
greater than that of it's parents The bit
terness of the mother pomelo has almost
wholly disappeared in her promising off
spring, and Mr.. F. G. Sampson, of
Boardman, Fla, in whose grove the
hybrid seeding from which this Seeding
was developed was grown, has been de-
servedly honored by having it carry his
name. Mr.. Webber, in describing it,
says: "The Sampson tangelo seems to
furnish happy medium between the
tangerine and the pomelo which will
recommend it to many who find the
pomelo too harsh. 1t is believed that
the fruit will occupy a place not now
filled by any other citrus fruit, and that
it will become valuable for commercial
cultivation. It's superior quality and the
kid glove character of the rind mark
it as distinct and most valuable crea-
tion."
AS such, in the near future, the tangelo
grove will become prominent factor in
the counties comprising the southern dis
trict of Florida.

yesterday evening between the Washing
ton Giants and the Newport News Black
Stockings, at the Hippodrome IN Fif-
teenth street northeast The score was
IA to in favor Of the Washington team
The grand stand was thronged with
colored Elks and their wives and sweet
hearts.
The first umpire was unfortunate
enough TO gain the dislike OF the Wash
ington team. and was replaced at the end
Of the third inning One of the local
players made dive for first base and
was called out This started the howl
that put the umpire out Of the game.
The game went on smoorhly after this
until the pitcher for the Black Stockings
hit local man on the head with the
BAN while trying 20 out" him on second.
The game was postponed until dose OF
something could be administered TO
the wounded man. Later IN the game
this player tried to beat the umpire for
calling three strikes on him. and at
tempting 20 make a three-base run on a
FOUL whereuDon he again FLASHED with
the judge OF the contest. A lively time
was had in the grand stand.
