Orchard And Garden

Thin the fruit if it needs it;
this is better paying method
than propping branches
Place two-pound paper bag
over each bunch of grapes when
the fruit is the size of small shot.
This protects the grapes from in
sect and bird injury, and insures
extra-choice clusters. Faster the
mouth of the bag close about each
stem, with pin, or wire, or string.
Cultivate the spring-set straw
berry bed regularly and often.
Keep the soil loose and mellow,
and let no weeds get foot-hold.
After enough runners have rooted,
cut off all surplus ones the same
as ii they were weeds. OF you are
practlcing the hill system, keep off
all runners.
Look out 70. the blighted twigs
and branches on pear trees. No
remedy is known for this bad. dis
ease, except to cut out the infected
parts promptly and burn them. Be
sure to cut well below the diseased
wood. Disinfect the pruning inn
plement by dipping it frequently
in strong solution of carbolic
acid.
The little brown slug that defo-
hates the pear, plum and cherry
trees during the summer season is
one of the easiest of our insects to
control. No one need allow this
insect to do any serious harm to
his trees, if he will thoroughly use
the remedy here given. Steep two
ounces OF fresh white hellebore in
one gallon of water, and use as a
spray when the slugs are first seen.
Stir the mixture often; or, better
yet, have all agitator attainment on
the pump. Sometimes there is a
second brood Of the slugs, necessi-
tating a second spraying.

ported pigeons, numbering 72,435,
valued at $4,000, and 8 reported
pea-fowls, numbering 22, valued

geese, 10 per cent, pigeons, 81

ing increased from S. to O..

1909, numbered Io,so8; average
value, $3.50. The total number
o. spring calves born in 1910 was
3o.oe4, and the average value,
$500. 1t may be noted that the
census of 1900 showed a larger
number Of calves, namely, 55,465.
This difference was due to the
fact that the census of 1900 was
taken as of date June /, after all
the spring calves were born, and
the group Calves included all
cattle less than 1 year OF age, so
that the number OF calves was
greater than in 1910, when the
census was taken on April IS, and
only Calves born in IoIo,' were
included in the comparative group.
In spite of the younger age Of the
calves in 1910, the average value
per head was reported to be 5000
greater than in 1000.
The total number Of horses and
colts reported in 1910 was 1856
438. OF these 1928 were class
ed by the census as mature horses
that is, horses born before 1900
and their value was SIS $4,000,
and average value $3.50. Year
ling colts, which are colts born in
1909, numbered 1913, and their
average value was $3.50. Spring
colts, born in 1910, were 5842 in
number, and their average value
reported as $1,000. 1t may be
noted that only o.5 per cent. Of
the farms of the State reported
colts born in 1910.
MULES, SWINE AND SHEEP.
The total number of mules of all
ages in 1910 was 22,oo7, which is
14.o per cent. of the number Oh,
horses and colts. OF these, adult
mules, born before 1909, number
ed 2I,49S, and their average value
was $3.50. Only 800 mule colts
born in 1910, were reported, their
average value being given as $50.
There were 800 yearling colts,
born in 1900, and their average
value was $3.50.
The total number of swine in
1910 was 3oI,5S3, of which a little
less than two-thirds, or Io6,4I5,
were mature hogs, born before
1910. The total value of the ma
ture hogs was $I,47o,ooo, and the
average value, $50. The spring

the value OF ali sheep and lambs.
Rams and wethers numbered 6445,
and the average value was So.
Spring lambs were IIo,886 in num-
Der, and their average value was
given as S4.Io. The number of

IMMUNITY BILL IS
ADOPTED BY SENATE
TURN CALCIUM ON BRI8ERS
Bilbo Says He's Not Afraid, and
Reverses Himself by Speaking
In Opposition to
Resolution

| Theodore g. BiIbo. member OF
the State senate and lieutenant
governor-elect, reversed himself
in the senate Monday, when he
declared he was not afraid to have
the searchlight turned on any of
his official acts and then spoke in
opposition to the Thigpen inn
munity bill, which had as its pur-
pose a full and free investigation
of everything that took place at the
last regular session of the legisIa-
ture.
A substitute for the Thigpen bill
was finally passed. 1t was a COM
pan ion to the Street bill intro
duced in the house last week, and
this fact lent it support which
finally resulted in its passage The
only difference between the sub
stitute and the original bill as
offered by Senator Thigpen is that
it gives circuit judges the power
to grant immunity to witnesses
testifying in bribery cases, and
aims at not only the giver but the
taker of bribes.
Bilbo is evidently endeayoring
to make OF himself a martyr. In
his speech he declared that the
bill then under discussion was the
eighth specific attempt to destroy
him, and then went on TO relate
the fight with Henry at Starkville,
the attempt to defeat him at the
polls in the general election and
other alleged efforts on the part
of political enemies to get his
scalp"
Bilbo seems to realize that many
people who voted for him in the
August primary were influenced
by personal periudices, and upon
a calmer view of the situation re-
gret their action. He is well
aware of the fact that his popu-
larity is on the wane, and is shrewd
enough to know that the only way
in which he can restore himself to
the good graces of the people is
TO pose as a martyr.

Will Build New Car Barn.

For a long time past officials Of
the Columbus Railway, Light
and Power Company have real
lied the inadequacy of the old
car barn, and have decided to ul- !
dertake the erection of a larger
and more modern structur .
Plans for the new building are
now being drawn, and as soon as
they are completed a contract for
its erection will be awarded.
The new barn will be located
on the lot Immediately north of
the electric light plant, and will
face College street. This will
place the power plant and barn
in close promoxity to each other,
thus centralizing the two princi-
pal departments, and will not on
ly make things convenient for
employees but will enable the COM
pany to operate on a more eco
nomical scale.
The new building will be of
brick, and will be complete and
modern in every respect.
