how long the disease has existed in
the region, but desires to notify bee
keepers of the trouble and to suggest
that, il not already informed con-
corning the disease, they inform
themselves at once. Very frequently
colonies of bees are destroyed by dis
ease and the loss is attributed by the
bee keeper to some other cause.
Farmers Bulletin No. 442, 1.-The
Treatment of Bee Diseases. gives
description of the brood diseases and
methods of treatment. 1t will be sent
free on request to the Secretary OF
Agriculture. Washington, D. @.
Attention is also called to the fact
that the brood diseases do not at all
injure honey for human consumption,
so that there need be no fear on the
part of purchasers of honey.

potatoes as Will be required to plant
the next years crop.
The second requirement for good
feeding can be supplied by first pre-
pairing the best possible kind of seed
bed. Many pillow twice. first about
four inches deep in the fall and again
seven or eight inches deep in the
spring. This method seems worthy
of trial. At any rate, the land
should be plowed deep, preferably
eight inches. This should be followed
by thorough working up of the seed
bed, to be followed by liberal use
of the harrow, weeder and cultivator
as needed during the season.
The benefit to be obtained from the
proper feeding and care of the potato
crop is greatly increased by the selec-
ton of the tubers possessing the most
vitality for seed potatoes. Even
though the crop as whole may have
been we'll fed and the yield large there
is much difference in the way in
WhIOh OOI UoIh CuoOlo dCqulI0 Uu0
vitality that results from liberal feed
ing.
The sign of vitality in potato is,
most of all, the plump form as con-
sidered with reference to length.
Rural New Workers and similar
varieties should be round and more
or less fattened without the least
eIongation. Ohios should be as oval,
plump and as short compared with
their thickness as they can be found.
The signs of degeneration in potatoes
are as follows: First, elongatlon of
form as compared with the shortest,
plumpest form that can be selected
for the variety, often accompanied by
more or less tapering ends, a taper
toward the "seed end" being worst;
second, eyes more numerous than
usual and likely to be deeper than
usual especially in badly degenerated
tubers; and third, an increasing pro-
portion of small potatoes.
The above principles of selection
may be applied to any variety of
potatoes. Degeneration is the same
for nearly all of them. A few varieties
do not show the elongation and the
difference in the eyes that are general
ly found along with degeneration
until they are almost completely run
out. In such cases the proportion of
small potatoes is more important
than ordinarily.
Small potatoes should never be used
for "seed." They are very likely to
be the most degenerate seed stock
that could be planted.
POTATO SCAB.
Potato scab is caused by the growth
on the tubers of parasitic fungus.
There are several methods of treat
ment. The one now generally con-
sidered best is as follows
Take one-half pint formalin to Is
gallons Of water. Formalin is fluid
which can be purchased in most drug
stores. 1t is not poisonous and can
be safely handled. Potatoes which
have been treated should not. how
ever, be used as food either by man
or animals. In preparation for treat |
ment it is best to wash the potatoes,
provided much earth adheres to them. |

". B. keenan,, Cherokee farmer,
Hho lives in the Midway section of
The county, suffered the misfortune
to lose two mules Monday morning,
the animals being killed by broken

frightened and fall heavily to the
ground. The other mule acted IN

YOUNG MAN KILLED HIS SISTER

Tom Ennis, Drunk on Blind Tiger
Booze, Shoots Mrs. IsaGore Giles,
Near SaofIarSr;,1o GO
Near Sandersville, Ga.

A dispatch from SandersvilIe, Ca,
says one OF the saddest tragedies that
has ever occurred in Washington
county was that about midnight Mon
day night, at Deepstep, u miles
west of Sandersville, when Mrs. Isa-
dore Giles was mortally wounded by
her brother Tom Ennis. She died
from the wound about 4 o'clock Tues
day morning.
a country party was being given
at the home Of Mr.. Isadore Giles, and
a large crowd of young people from
the surrounding community were
participating. About 1880 O'Clock
Tom Ennis, brother Of Mrs. Giles,
came into the house drunk; in fact
ne had been drunk during the entire
evening.
Mrs. Giles noticed his condition
and, getting him to one side, began
reprimanding him for his misbehav-
ior. Without warning, Ennis whip
ped out his revolver and fred, the
bullet striking Mrs. Giles just under
her chin and passing through the
wind-pipe.
After shooting his sister Ennis be-
came absolutely infuriated and would
have killed others Of the party but
for the fact that he was overpowered
by some Of the men present and TAX
en- out and away.
Mrs. Giles lived until about S
o'clock Tuesday morning, when she
died. sne was 80 years old, and is
survived by her husband and six
small children, the eldest being eight
years old.
Ennis, who is about 20 years old, is
the son of Mr.. Ransom Ennis, who
is highly esteemed in Washington
and Baldwin county, where be for
merly lived.
Inquiry at the sheriff's Office de-
velops the fact that no warrant has
been issued for young Ennis and no
arrest has been made. Late Tuesday
afternoon he was at the home Of his
father, at Deepstep.
The young man was drunk on blind
tiger whiskey. No liquor is sold leg
ally in any part Of Georgia, but those
who want the vile stuff finds no 6if-
6culty in getting it from the blind
tigers that sell it.
