The Nuts We Eat.
a the Ohio State Journal.

From the Ohio State Journal.
The old butternut. very rich and
fragrant nut of the olden time, has al
most disappeared. Very few people OF
the present generation have ever tasted
a butternut. The black walnut is becom-
ing fewer, and ini generation hence il
will hardly be known. And yet it is a
precious nut, full of goodness and rare
taste. Those old pans of cracked wal
nuts, in the long winter evenings, made
up a family joy that has never been sur
passed. The hickory nuts, especially the
good old shellbarks, figured prominently
In those nutty days. and the chestnuts,
too, including the hazel nuts and beech
nuts; but they are all growing scarcer
and have sadly strayed away from the
human heart. -.
The pecan is becoming the gre1e Ameri-
can nut. There are thousands Of trees
cultivated in the south, and the nut has
become commercially important. Trees
are reported bearing 500 to 500 worth
of nuts per acre. 1t is rich nut but
quite too hard for the novice to pick out
the kernels. There are, however, ma
chimes that do the work perfectly. But
after all, for rich. well favored and grand
mouthfuls of nut, give US the English
walnut.

Circumstance.
From the Columbus Journal.

FROM tue Nofumous journal.
A woman who is wise in the philosophy
of life often speaks, and always with a
laugh. of ''the depravity OF lnanimate OBJ
jects." The collar buttons that insist on
hiding themselves, the chairs that stick
themselves out where your ankle bone is
sure to hit them. the books that always
open to the wrong place instead of to the
right-these are n few of them: but we
all have our pet grievances from these de-
PRAYED objects. Lucky for us IL we can
take them with "a laugh, for they can
not he avoided.
And the strange thing about these de-
PRAYED objects is that. just as soon as
they are taken seriously their case is
aggravated. The other day an Ohio man
committed suicide because his new barn
did not suit him. There was a case where
inanimate (aRd unimportant) objects had
been allowed entirely to dominate and
finally to destroy human being And
that's what they will do. If they are given
a fair chance-these little, insignificant
inaninate objects.

Weeks Course Downward.

The course of prices this week con.
tinued to reflect the unfavorable con-
struction placed upon present market
factors by the trading element The
downward movement OF the last few
weeks vas continued and new low prices
were made all through the list.
In some cases quotations were carried
back to the low points reached In the
June slump.
The general situation was little chang.
ed by the developments of the week. Tn
certainty as to the effect of tariff
changes and currency legislation were
considerations uppermost In the minds
Of traders.
Recent events in Mexico again brought
to the fore the situation there as a dis
turbing influence.
Rallies Due to Short Covering.
The low prices of stocks failed TO at
tract investors, and there was no con-
siderable demand.
Rallies which occurred from time to
time apparently. were due principally to
short covering
Conditions in foreign money markets
were not encouraging. and there was
some selling of stocks here for foreign
account. A further advance in the Bank
of Englands discount rate was regard
ed by International bankers here as not
improbable. The local money market
tended toward greater ease owing large
ly to the comparatively small demands
for stock market purposes, and to the
deposit of government funds in banks
of the west and south for crop moving
purposes

WANTS INFORMATION ABOUT
CULTIvATING ALFALFA.

plante, from ST Maftinville Parish
writes: Will you please furnish me
with data as to the cultivation of al
falla the time to part and what soil,
etc.
Reply: Alfalfa generally gives best
results in South Louisiana when planted
in October or very early November. The
best preparatory crop for alfalfa is cow
peas sown broadcast: then in the fall
harvest the peas for hay, and disc the
land with a disc harrow preparatory TO
sowing the alfalfa.
Unless land is exceptionally well
drained it is well to throw, il into wide
beds when preparing it for the eowpeas,
so as TO facilitate drainage. Use about
90 pounds of seed per acre sown broad
cast and narrowed in light Or If the
land is in nice shape, as it should be,
drag Is good thing with which to cover
the seed. Unless it is known that the
the artificial cultures for inoculating it.
This culture material may be obtained
from seedsmen or from the laborat tories
that prepare H. The National Depart
ment Of Agriculture still furnishes a
limited quantity of this land -inoculatfnG
material. Good drainage is essentially
necessary for successful alfalfa culturs

CHARLTON (ANTHRAx.)

One of the most serious prob
lens that confront our farmers
! and stockbreeders at the present
! dau is how they shall rid the
country of that dread and fatal
malady. Charlton. that is almost
constantly epidemic among stock
| i'm this section of country, partlc-
ulailv in the SUMMER season. So
much has been published on the
diagnosis of this diseases. of its
prevention and treatment, that
everu householder and farmer
should be informed of it's symp-
toms and the sanitary precau-
tons that should be taken to pre-
vent its periodical recurrence
among their stock.
DIR. Dalrymple, the eminent
State Veterinary Surgeon, has
pronounced internal charlton in
durable, despite the claims of
some "horse doctors" who assert
that they have effected cures.
They may have given relief, or
even effected cures i'm diseases
that resembled charbon, but DR..
Dalrymple and other distinguish
ed specialists in animal diseases,
are emphatic in their professional
opinion that Charlton cannot be
reached by any therapeutical
treatment They do say, how
ever, that it can be prevented by
vaccinating the animals with
serum that renders them immune
from taking the disease They
also say that if the bodies of an
imals which died Of it were thor
oughly incinerated, completely
burned so as 10 destroy the germs
or spores of the disease left in the
dead body, that, in time, the dis
ease might be eradicated. Bury
ing the bodies will not do because
the spores will come to the sur
face and infect the grass for
years, perpetuating the poisoned
virus from year to year in the
pasture of every vicinity where
such animals had been buried.
Charlton has been the scourge
Of this country for years and the
losses from its prevalence have
amounted to thousands of dollars
annually
Those who have practiced an
annual incubation Of thir stock
in time with the Anthrax serum
have lost few, if any, of their |
stock, although other stock. not
treated, were dying all around
them.-JenDings Times.

WHAT IT LED TO.

An automobile, case of beer, gen
tleman 90 chauffeur and friend" two
pretty girls, and "ioy ride" until mid
night and after. Next day, some father
or brother shoots the gentleman" or
his friend, or both, scandal is uncov-
cred, three or four families are involved
in court trial, their family names held
up to shame and disgrace In the com
munity, and the community and the
gray heads of parents are bowed in re-
morse. This has not occurred In our
community, but IL did occur in city
not hundred miles away, and is not
an overdrawn or exaggerated picture of
what can happen. A little observation
and caution on the part of parents will
go long ways toward avoiding Just
such occurrences.-Colfax Chronicle.
