To this day the site of Carthage has
remained more or less Of a mystery.

JOHN F. LEWIS, HEALTH
BROKEN, KILLS HIMSELF
Virginian Visits Franklin Park and
There Fires a Bullet Into
His Head.

John F. Lewis. sixty years old, son of
the late John F. Lewis, who served as
lieutenant governor of Virginia with
Gov. Cameron. committed suicide in
Franklin Park last night by shooting
himself in the head. Last week he
suffered stroke of facial paralysis
while at his home in Lynwood, Rock
ingham county, Va. and had been at
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. He
was unable to obtain relief and became
respondent.
Mr.. Lewis came here several days ago
and visited his sister, Mrs. NJ. L. Gibbs,
1881 California street northwest, and
John Lewis Smith, relative, at 1880
S street northwest. He suffered intense
pain and became satisfied that he could
not get well.
When he concluded to end his life he
addressed letters to his sister and Mr.
Smith. He left Mrs. Gibbs house last
night and stopped at the home of Mr.
Smith, but the latter was not there,
and shortly afterward he visited the
park and killed himself.
Dr. William l.. Kelly, member of the
staff at Emergency Hospital, went to
the park, examined the body and found
that life was extinct He took the body
to the hospital, where it was viewed
by Coroner hewitt, who gave a certifi-
cate of suicide.
Mr.. Lewis is survived by three daugh-
tiers. His body was taken to Lynwood
this afternoon.

Although a candidate for a second
term, Carbery was defeated by fifty
votes. At the time of the first election

population of 1924. Carbery died May
%, 1869. and is remembered by sew

In his sketch of the career of the
former District official Mr.. Clark re-
lated many interesting incidents of
life in the capital during that period.
There were no citizens associations
then, but there were town meetings.
at which matters of general interest
were discussed by the citizens. All
of Washington's twenty mayors, Mr..
Clark said, contended for an equitable
contribution by the national govern
ment toward the maintenance and de-
velopment of the National Capital.
The question of suffrage frequently
came up at the town meetings, and
committees were appointed to petition
Congress to bestow this privilege upon
the citizens of the District.

CURRANT. is EASILY GROWN
HeIlebore busted Over Bushes 10 Sure
Remedy for Worms-Not Much
Care Is Required.

Some of us remember the long rows
OF currant bushes which always Dor
dered grandmother's garden. Some Of
OF US. too, remember the delicious des-
serts Of scarlet and white fruit, cooled
with a dash of spring water, and
served with sugar.
Rarely is the fruit offered now and
the following seems the most plausi-
BILE explanation:
The appearance of the currant worm
stripped the bushes of leaves and soon
destroyed their vitality. They became
an eyesore rather than source of de-
light and were destroyed
While it has been known for years
that hellebore busted over the bushes
when wet with dew Is a sure remedy,
the next generation have failed to re-
new the currant rows, and, as a re.
suit, the far-famed currant jelly, one
of the most delicious of relishes, has
been almost forgotten
The currant is easily grown, comes
into bearing speedily, and requires
less care than most Of the small fruit.
Cuttings should be made in Septem-
Der and October, and planted in rows.
These may have some slight protec-
ton during the winter, though 1t is
not absolutely necessary.
In the spring there will be as a re
suit fine bed Of rooted cuttings,
which may be left for a year undis-
turbed, or then transplanted to the
garden row.
Spraying with bordeaux mixture is
good remedy for the fungous growth
sometimes attacking the foliage.

CARE OF THE sow
At narrowing Time

For the first twentyfour hours after
the pigs are born the sow should have
but little food, and if she has been
properly fed during her period of preg-
nancy she will not desire it, writes X.
II. Stone in the National Stockman.
The following day we give her few
quarts Of warm water, after which we
feed warm mash made of pint of
wheat bran or middlings mixed with a
quart of warm milk. For two or three
days feed warm slop food in modera-
ton For the first twenty-four hours
nature has provided sufficient food in
her udder to maintain the little ones
properly. After that her feed must be
such as to avoid all liability of an at
tack of milk fever or caked udder and
other troubles of like character.
l know of a man who fed pail of
separator milk the day after narrowing,
and within five days the SOW and her
litter of eight pigs were dead. BY
overlooking the dam at this period the
milk can be easily dried up, and part If
not all the litter may die for want of
nourishment. A sow may have only
slight attack of milk fever, but in a
short time two or three little pigs will
begin to drop behind the others, which
goes to show that only part Of the milk
secretion has been injured, and the re-
suit is you have two or three runty
pigs. Then we condemn the sow for
being a poor mixer when the fault
was with the feeder.
After the SOW has passed the critical
point and the milk is flowing freely
then we begin TO increase her feed
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1915-09-21

gradually until we reach that point
where the SOW is getting all she will
eat up clean and at the same time be
ready for the next meal with good,
keen appetite If fed too much the
pigs viii not be able to take all her
milk which will cause feverish con-
dition of the sow and produce scours
in the pigs. A pig having a severe at
tack of scours when month old will
usually weigh from thirty to fifty
pounds less than the others when six
months old.
By the time the pigs are three or
four weeks old they will be looking
about for some ezra food. This must
be supplied in small quantities and in
creased rs the appetite grows stronger.
We find that corn and ground feed.
fed dry, is the safest for them while
they are sucking. If milk and slop
food are fed one has to be careful to
avoid their having the scours. During
this period of feeding the pigs viii put
on their greatest growth at the least
expense. provided the SOW is fed prop
erly TO produce large flow of milk
and the pigs are not weaned before
eight or ten weeks old.

AVOID COOLING MOTH INJURY
Many Owners of Fruit Trees Do Not
Realize Importance of Spraying
Work Not Complex.
(By c. G. WOODBURY.

VI. -
After years of the most forcible OBJ
feet lessons in the way of regular
yields and good profits from sprayed
orchards and irregular yields and no
profits from unsprayed orchards, the
fact still remains that many owners OF
fruit trees do not yet realize the i'm
portance of the subject. 1t cannot
be doubted, on the other hand. that
many possessors of orchards realize
something of the Importance of spray
ing, pruning and other methods of
orchard hygiene, and yet fail to be-
gin this work because they regard it
as complex, hard to understand, diff
cult to accomplish, disagreeable and
expensive. The work is not complex
and, considering the results which fol
low 1t, is very inexpensive. Spraying
pays. Every owner OF fruit trees
should plan to give them some atten-
ton In the way of spraying This is
essential to the continued production
of good fruit.
In order to obtain results, however,
1t is necessary for the fruit grower to

spray intelligently. He must know
what he is spraying for; he must
know something of the life history or
disease in question, so that he can
prepare his material and time its APP
plication most effectively.
For instance, every orchardist
should know that 1t is the larva or
young of the cooling moth that Is re-
sponsible for our wormy apples and
act accordingly. The treatment is to
spray with an arsenical poison, paris
green or arsenate of lead, immediate
ly after the petals fall, using three
pounds Of arsenate of lead to so gall
Ions of bordeaux mixture or of water
If paris green is used it should be at
the rate of from six to eight ounces
to each fifty gallons of spray. This
spraying should be repeated in about
ten days. Where the second brood of
cooling moth causes damage, a fur
Their spraying should be given. In lati-
tudes similar to northern Indiana, in
the latter part of July; In southern
Indiana, about two weeks earlier. The
first codling moth spraying, given just
after the petals fall, should be as
thorough as 1t can possibly be made.
Some of the poison should be gotten
into the calyx throat of every blossom
on the tree.
