Will Erect Monumental Build
ing With Own CaSh-TeIIs
Some Graphic Rat Stories.

William r. Healy. Atlanta multi
millionaire, told a Georgian reporter
today that he was ready to begin work
on giant sllyscraper on his lot bound
ed by Forsyth, Poplar, Broad and Wal
ton streets. 1t is to be the largest Of
fee building in Atlanta. covering an
entire block, sixteen stories high and
costing more than $1OO0.0OO when
finally completed.
But its size and cost will not be its
most individual features The reasons
it Is to be built and the methods Of its
construction will always mark it as
distinct from other structures when it
is surrounded by loftier buildings
Mr.. Healy. who through the years
has diligently saved the income from
his vast properties until ii has reached
a great sum Is tired-not literally. Of
eourse-of his money. The gold ac-
CURED through economy and self-denial
has failed to satisfy He is going to
spend il for a monumental building.
And 1t is said that he will finance the
building of this great structure with
out borrowing a penuy--a feat which
has hardly been equaled before in this
country.
Began With One Mule.
The methods of construction are en-
tirely original-Mr. Healy.s own. He
began excavations for the foundations
three years ago with one negro and a
mule AS the hole grew deeper people
began to ask what it was for. But MIR.
Heaiy kept his counsel and the curious
wondered more and more from day to
day.
The original hole, on the Forsyth
street side OF the lot, was made deep
and round and narrow at first 1t looked
like giant Well But the negro and
the mule kept at work for many DAYS
until the hole finally took the shape Of
an excavation for a building Then
Mr. Healy announced that he was 60
ing to erect an Office building. some
day.
Then he Quickened his pace. More
negroes and more mules were put to
work. Excavations for half of the
block have been completed. Archi-
tects Morgan & Dillon have finished
the plans.
He Sees the Fine Points.
Mr.. Healy has outlined his ideas. He
win begin work on one-half Of the
building at once. When the leases on
the Broad street side buildings have
expired he win tear them down and
build another half of the skyscraper

EFFECTS OF COOPERATION
 ON THE COST OF LIVING. Congress Receives Reports Based on Inquiries in European Countries.

Washington, May 6.-Congress to- day received from President Taft the second installment of the reports of consular officers on cooperation and the cost of living which are the re- suit of the investigation he some time ago directed should be made. The countries included in this installment are France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark. The reports are ac- companied by letter from Hunting ton Wilson, acting secretary of state.
 It appears from the information col lected the acting secretary says, that the rising cost of living has directed attention to and augmented the mem bership of the cooperative societies more especially in France and Bel gium.
 The French cooperative associa- tions are in the main arranged upon the same system as those in the Unit ed Kingdom.
 The tendency is toward small soci- cities, and the great majority of the associations represent groceries and bakeries.
 The most successful distributive so- cieties are in the manufacturing cities of northeastern and central France. Among these societies relief funds are administered and insurance against illness and forced non-e employment is supplied Arrangements are made with dentists doctors and artisans for their services by members on com mission basis.
 The operation of the agricultural soicietles has been especially success ful in southern France. The French government has given encouragement to these societies by furnishing ex- pert advice, granting subventions and permitting long term loans by agricul- tural credit associations. The general buying is done principally through dis trict unions. High grade farm ma chnery such as is beyond the reach of many individual members is pur- chased from the surpluses or is loaned gratuitously or upon the payment of nominal fees.
 Government employees are to a large extent organized into cooperative so- cieties. Many of the associations are affiliated with labor unions that re- strict their membership to persons en- gagged in a given occupation.

DO NOT MULCH WITH MANURE
Common, But Wasteful Practice With
Strawberry Beds-study Will Dis
sipate Erroneous Idea.

A common but very wasteiul prac-
tice is that of winter mulching straw
berry beds with manure, says the
Fruit Belt. None OF the large grow
ers ever practice it, yet many general
farmers who depend upon their straw
berry bed for spring income cover the
bed In late fall with horse manure,
thinking to increase the crop the tol-
lowing year.
A study of the strawberry plant
would dissipate any such idea. Dur
ing the growing season, spring and
summer. the plant stores in its crown
the plant food from which the follow
ing years crop of berries is pro-
duced.
OF the plant food contained in the
manure spread on the bed after the
growth has stopped for the year. not
one atom enters the following
springs crop. In fact. the most yalu-
able element. nitrogen, Is dtssipated
into the air in the form of ammonia,
while the potash and phosphoric acid,
to be utilized must be plowed or cul-
tivated into the soil.

Blue Joint Grass Soil.

For the past three years I have
been growing alfalfa; however, there
is only small acreage In this neigh
borhood, yet in my Judgment there
will be an increase this year, says a
writer in an exchange. 1t has been
my experience that alfalfa grows well
on rolling ground, and on soil that has
at least grown three crops since It
was sod. | believe that farmers would
rroft by sowing thinly and avoiding
black, fiat, gumbo soils. My observa-
tons have been that soil for grow
Ing blue joint is excellently good.

TRAP FOR LITTLE SPARR0WS
More Than One Thousand Caught in
Device In Use at Hawkesbury
Agricultural College.

AT the Hawhesbury Agricultural
college in Australia the trap tliustra-
ted herewith has been found very ef-
fective in catching sparrows. During
one year more than 1000 birds were
caught, sometimes at the rate Of -
or 80 day The birds enter at three
small holes about two inches in diane
ter at the bottom OF the V in the
center and just three inches above
the wire netting floor This floor is
thinly covered under the holes with
soil on which little food, such as
bread crumbs or wheat is sprinkled.
The mesh of the net is one inch.
When once a few birds are inside
sparrows are soon attracted and cas-
lily caught, says the Orange Judd Far
mer The frame is about three feet
square and eight feet long, with doors
