Questions and Answers

Q.-I grew fine Acme tomatoes last year. would you advise a change? Mrs. O.
 A.-The Acme is one of the most reliable purplish pink sorts and a good strain of this variety cannot he easily improved upon. If it suits your fancy better stick to it.
 Q.-I have two fine peach trees in my back yard that suffered badly last year from mildew. I want to treat them this year. What is a re- liable treatment? J. c. c.
 A.-At the first sign of mildew use a dust spray of common sulphur and ii may be necessary to repeat at in- tervals of a week or ten days. 4 weak spray of lime sulphur solution is very effective alone; but if you add three pounds of copperas to each 50 gallons of the lime sulphur spray, even better results are obtained. This same treatment Is valuable for de- stroying mildew on most any plant subject to mildew. Promptness In treating is the main essential
 iQ.-Last year nearly all my roses were bothered with some disease, when the leaves would become black spotted fall off and the plants stop blooming. Cannot this be prevented l? Mrs. $.
 A.-The trouble is most likely due to fungus disease known as black spot, leaf-blotch or leaf-spot. This is serious disease and few varieties are resistant, even the new or tender wood becomes affected, the foliage drops and a general weakened con- dition results.
 Bordeaux mixture is a dependable remedy and should be applied as soon as leaf growth fully develops, and not delay until the disease again makes its appearance. The Bordeaux may injure the foliage some but the plant will recover.
 Q.-Please give me formula for making kerosene oil emulsion. Mrs, B. ]. A.-Laundry soap, half pound. dis solved in one gallon boiling water. when thoroughly dissolved, remove from fire and add two gallons kero- sene oil and churn into a thorough emulsion. This must be diluted be- fore use with 10 to 20 times as much water.
 Q,-How should I plant my Eng fish peas to prevent falling down so badly? Mrs. A.
 A-Varieties that grow as high as two feet can be made to support each other with but little falling down. Thick planting in double rows is recommended. A double row Is simp- ly two parallel rows 15 to IS inches apart, in which the seed should be thickly planted. You should then skip a sufficient distance to serve as a middle for the next double row. The plants in the double row support one another and really bear better when reasonably thick. Falling down

TWO G00DWATER HOMES
 ARE DESTROYED BY FIRE

Goodwater, April 3.-(Special.)- Fire originating last night In the dwelling of Mrs. Eliza Crew, on the east side of Main street. spread to the dwelling of pr. A. P. McClendon in very short time. and both buildings were totally destroyed, together with much of the contents.
 The fire was discovered about 9:3O o'clock, and while every effort was made to save the buildings, 1t was to no avail. By hard work of the bucket brigade of Goodwater, the dwelling of c. H. Gilliland and the store build- ings of w. R. Walker and E. l.. Crew, located on opposite sides of the burned buildings, were saved.
 Mrs Crew and another woman were the only people in her home at the time and they had to be aroused and taken from the burning dwell ing. Cause of the fire is unknown. but there is nothing in indicate in- cendiary origin, and 1t is thought to have resulted from defective wiring of the building.
 Loss is partially covered by in- surance.

to Camilles horror, they shot along the tram-lines at 50 miles an hour, with long row of lamp-posts (to skid into which meant instant death) at intervals of a few yards along the road, and less than two feet from the left front wheel The rain poured in at the sides Of the hooded car, but Camille was much too terrified to care how soaked-to- the-skin she was.
 And when. shooting around the corner from the main road to the Imperial hotel, the car did a com= plete double skid and turned two circles. mounting the pavement and then pumping off again into the road she clung openly to Elliot Glyn with closed eyes, expecting to be killed each moment
 But they actually did reach the widower's home quite safe and sound, although soaked to the very skin.
 Camille was so weak from fright that she could scarcely crawl up- stairs to the room allotted to Dolly and herself for a change of clothes
 "A sporting crowd. don't you think?" the former cheerfully re- marked, but Camille made no en- thusiastie answer.
 However, after a hot bath, hot cup of tea and a change of clothes, she felt much better, and went for stroll in the town with Elliot, for the rain had ceased and everything looked radiant.
 What adorable little houses, smothered in vines and passion flowers!" She looked eagerly about her.
 And the people are so kindly. too" Glyn supplemented. watching the vivid little face beside him with a possessive thrill at his heart.
