500 American citizens, together with
their wives and families In towns
along the Mexican Northwestern rail
road are threatened with isolation
far from the American border with
scant means of escaping depredations
of Mexican rebels. Sufficient facts
became known today of the real sit
uaaion along the Mexican Northwest
ern to warrant the statement that II
would cause no surprise if the Ameri
cans in all the towns along the line
were warned to leave Mexico at once
General Pascuai Orozco, Jr., within
the last "a hours, had ordered the
Mexican Northwestern railroad de-
stroyed between Pearson and Made
ra, 10 miles southwest of here, but
the order has been mysteriousiy re
scinded.
Though the destruction of the
Northwestern for a hundred miles in
the mountainous region where 1t can
not be rebuilt for months has been
delayed. officials Of the road are in
constant fear that it may be done at
any moment. 1t was said the officials
did not wish to ask the British gov
ernment to make requests for pro.
lection since the property is British
and the employees are American. For
the Pearson officials, on the other
hand, to order an exodus of their en-
ployes would mean to leave the prop
erty and supplies at the mercy of the
rebels, who already have looted the
MADEIRA company store house. That
the Mexican Northwestern railroad
along which most Of the rebel fight
ing is now stretched, is doomed, gen
orally is admitted, as it is evident
the rebels intend to farass the gov
eminent forces moving northwest 'te
Cnlnuanua Clsy.
It is feared tnat after the cestruc
ttion of the railroad and the telegraph
lines, Americans in the interior viii

irresponsible bands begin. iC is de

communication today with Maders
was interrupted. Mexican Northwest

put. No poultryman. who is worth the
name, desires to sell any other than
strictly fresh eggs-and as l see it,
there is just one way Of solving this
question: Let Atlanta give us city
(centraD market. Then we will have a
place for the small and large produc-
ers to dispose of their products.
and then the people of that city viii
know where to get strictly fresh eggs
as we'll as strictly fresh everything
else. And why not-fron a financial
viewpoint certainly 1t would look good
to Atlanta A great impetus given a
tremendous industry. now lying dor
mant and so supreme and abiding
blessing to her people. Let Atlanta
get in line with all other cities OF
her class, and give us that market
and we will guarantee to her all the
high class eggs, fat broilers, fresh
garden truck and fruits in lieu of
the wilted, stale stuff that she is now
forced to use. It'seup to Atlanta.
F. w. S.
ANSWER.
Your letter received, and I agree
with you fully in reference to your
views on this subject; I believe the
day will come when someone in At
lanta will open place where strictly
first class products fresh from the
producers can be had. AS 1t is now,
no producer in this country can any
ways like supply his demand for eggs
during six months of the year, and l
believe the only way that this propo-
sition would be made to pay. would
be through one central market in
Atlanta. 1t should be operated by
person who has a large number Of
hens and get an enormous supply of
eggs himself every day so as to take
care of his business when the supply
was short. A good central market
in Atlanta for all fresh products
would be a great step in the right
direction in the great city OF Atlanta,
but it is a hard matter to get the
people of Atlanta to see 1t or to take
Immediately to it. 1t is only a mat
ter of time but that 1t will have to
come as the consumers can certainly
get far better quality and much
fresher direct from the producer
through a market than in any other
way and it would save thousands of
dollars to the producers of this state
II such a place to dispose Of their
products could be had in Atlanta.
Furthermore, II would encourage
truck gardening in and around At
lanta to such an extent that it would
help sell many acres of land and in
stead of them now being bare there
would be beautiful gardens that would
help supply many articles of food
that money is now sent out of the
state for. I hope some day that
someone in Atlanta will be Interested
enough. or the city become interested
enough to erect a first class up-to-
date central market in Atlanta

nation as to the best way to keep
beth Irish and sweet potatoes.
MRS. w. ]. w.
ANSWER.
There are various ways to keep
both Irish and sWee- patotoes.
The old fashioned metht q of keep
ing sweet potatoes IN hills that are
PFC. ected by a shed over them is
Usually the best and safest meth
cd, but there should be placed in
each hill an air Aue which can be
made by mailing three pieces Of Ike
about six feet long, together and
bore rome auger hoes in this fiue
so that the air can circulate down
around the potatoes This should
be stopped up at the top in the
winter. and too much dirt should
not be placed on the potatoes be-
fore they have Thoroughly dried
cut
There are quite a rumber OF Pr
tato houses but they require close
attention and careful watching
tc keep potatoes in most Of these
houses that I have ever seen built
To- this purpose.
Irish potatoes are very easily
kept. II the summer potato IS
started out in a cool place on the
ground under a building, in a cellar
or placed on shelves so that the air
can circulate in them tEey viii US
usliy keep well If they are thor
oughly n4atured before being harry
ested The fall potato is no trou-
BILE to keep during the entire win
ter If they. are placed in barrels
and placed in a dry dark place, or
placed on shelves in a cellar where
they will not freeze 1T is no trouble
to keep them perfectly uutil June
or July Of the following year when
they will begin to sprout.
There are several good books
published on both Irish and sweet
potatoes that can be had OF most
any PUBLISHING Rouse, and If you
are raising potatoes on a large
scale It would pay you to read some
of these books and get the opinion
Of different growers.

ANSWER.
You can secure from, the Dupont
Powder company, at Nashville,
Tenn, a little booklet giving val
liable information on how to dyna-
mite your land that will go into
details far more than could go.
1t would help the trees that are
low planted considerably to use a few
feet away from them one-half stock
of 25 per cent dynamite, You would
see them grow in a way that you
would be surprised. No Pecan tree
should be planted in any other way
except in a dynamite hole, or any
other tree as far as that. is con-
cerned, as it is cheaper to dyna-
mite than it is to dig the holes.
The price quoted is right for the
40 per cent dynamite, but the, rs
per cent cost about SIS and will
answer every purpose, Any dealer
in your city who handles dynamite
properly has this little booklet on
hand and would furnish you with
one. This is the time of the year
that dynamiting should be done.

The Fresh Egg Proposition

ssHIS proposition seems to be to-
day one that is disturbing the
Il public more than any other
one thing, according to the food
proposition. From July until Feb
ruary, the problem Of securing fresh
eggs is, certainly a hard one, and
there is only one solution to this.
The breeders who contract to
furnish fresh eggs must hatch
large number of January and Feb
luary hatchedi chickens. These
are the only ones that yon can abb
solutely depend on to give you eggs
during the summer and fall
months. Early hatched pullets that
have been we'll cared for are now
laying and will continue to lay
through the entire winter. The
hens you cannot depend on as they
are moulting, and most of them are
in a weakened condition and it
takes all the food they can possibly
consume to supply growth of new
feathers, and it is. utterly impossi-
BILE for them to. produce eggs and
grow these new feathers at the
same time. Therefore, they cannot
be depended upon.

fected parts is a good remedy A
little Chlo-Naptholeum mixed with
water, one to twenty-five parts and
poured in the horns ana rag band

ANSWER.

There is ne difference in the kind
of lime you use. The only difference
is that ground lime rock or shell
lime requires about twice as much
per acre as the burnt or agricultur-
al lime. II you use agricultural
lime or air-slack lime, two tons
per acre is the proper amounts If
you use ground lime rock. from four
TO six tons per acre should be used.
Fifteen feet each way is close
enough to dynamite your land. BY
using 25 per cent dynamite and
drilling the holes three feet in the
ground it will do the work.
Your land is now ready to re-
ceive the lime. since the peas
have been cut off. The lime should
be put on broadcast and disked
in with disk harrow. Do not pillow
your land. Simply harrow and disk
IL until you have a fine seed bed
about three or four inches deep.
With a Cahon seed drill (Which can
be had of T. w. Wood & Sons, Rich
mond, Va, for s2.50) you can SOW
the seed evenly broadcast. You
should put in at least fifty pounds
of seed per acre, sowing twenty-five

used to cover the seed, running it
both ways. You should SOW your
alfalfa just as soon in October as
you possibly can. Do not put off
sowing it too late.
You can get the lime rock. OF
eager Lime Works, Chattanooga,
Tenn. 1t should cost about SO or
$3.50 delivered at your place. You
can get agricultural or commercial
lime of Ladd Lime Works, Car
tersville, or from any lime dealer in
Atlanta. There has been such de-
mand for this lime that it has been
a hard matter to get it promptly.
1t might be best for you to buy it in
your town, even! If you. pay little
more for IL. You should get 1t on
the ground as. quick as possible.
