Cultivating the Crops.
II Whiie the chief object of cultivation is
I to prevent weeds and other spontaneous
I growth from sharing the soil with our
I soeciaily sown crops, it Is not the exclusive
I object by any means.
[ On soils naturally very rich it is only
I necessary, it is true, to keep down the weeds
I to prevent their choking out the valuable
I crop to secure a luxuriant crop. But on
I soils of only medium fertility, and that dry
I out their moisture rapidly, cultivation is
I resorted to as a means of preserving a
steady supply of moisture, of admitting the
necessary oxygen to the soil and keeping it
from becoming too hard for the young roots
to penetrate it rapidly.
Cultivation should begin with most plants
as soon as they are well up. A shallow
breaking of the crust close to the plants
just then keeps in check the weads, hastens
the formation of roots, and holds in reserve
the moisture about the plants that would
soon be dispelled if the soil were left undis
tured.
Beets, carrots, onions and all such plants
that are very small when young if allowed
to get the least weedy just after coming up
present a very laborious job to the oultiva
tur, and the la or of cultivation is multi
plied ten times over what is necessary if the
weeds are never permitted to show them
selves.
With regard to all such plants as are very
tender and delicate when tbey first come up,
the practice of destroying weeds and grass
before they come up must always hold as
the best—the most economical. First culti
vation of such plants as Irish potatoes, corn,
beans, squashes and snch plants that are
first grown in seed beds and then trans
planted after attainging some size is muca
easier than it is with the first mentioned.
Still it is not desirable to allow the weeds
any foothold among these by leaving the
soil unndisturbed for even a week or two.
A protracted rainy spell might occur and
favor the weeds getting too strong a hold
that would require much unnecessary labor
to break. The old adage says the best time
to kill weeds is before they come up.
It will always be found to pay to leave
the soil after sowing level and free from
and stones, so that the young Diants
can bo rapidly and easily cultivated with
the hoc as soon as the plant® are up, and
without danger of oovering them with
loose st mes or soil. For this reason it is
well to run a roller of some kind along the
seed rows after covering lightly with a
rake. This leaves the soil perfectly level,
and renders rapid cultivation more easily
done than when the soil is left rough and
cloddy.
The old-time scuffle hoe has not yet been
unproved on as the very best implement
for rapid y scarifying the soil close to the
young plants, merely running around them
Wlt “ > c and leaving the plow to clean the
middles between the hoe furrows. A light
gmde i plow (hand) with a little sweop ou it
is another good implement for the purpose,
hut of the two, as a ride, we would prefer
the seuflie hoe. These are merely for the
first and the most important cultivation.
Aftrward heavier hand implements and
the horse plow ca i be resorted to to carry
the crop to completion. For garden crops a
heavy drag rake with sharp teeth and
pronged hoes are implements to economize
work also. Still, hoes of various widths for
chopping out” the different crops should be
kept on hand.
In rich soil the weeds and grass often
times spring up before the vegetables make
fleir appearance, and this renders the first
uitivation tedious. Beets, carrots, salsify,
J’Jf sni P s ) onion, parsley and some few
_ ™ w hen sown in January or February

ore than twenty days to germinate, and

improve the yield of grain. But, as a rule,

Deep and thorough preparation for plant

Gland ere.
Charles TV. Heitzmann, veterinary sur
geon, contributes to the Southern Line
Utoclc Journal the following remarks upon
this dread disease:
As this disease has made its appearance
in different parts of the state we have re
ceived numerous queries as to its symptoms,
etc. Following is a brief outline of the
malady: It is a malignant, contagious and
fatal disease, due to the introduction into
the animal economy or of generation with
in it of an animal poison, which infects the
whole aud shows its specific effects more
especially upon the Schneidei ian mucous
membranes (lining of the nose), the lungs,
and upon the lymphatic glands and ducts
(most noticeable cn the inside of the hind
legs and between the lower jaws). Glan
ders and its variety farcy originate sponta
neously in the horse, ass and mule and is
capaple of transmission to man, in whom
the virus seems to inorease in malignancy;
sheep, goats, dogs, the feline species aud
even to mice and rabbits. Cattle, pigs and
fowls resist the action of the contagion even
when inoculated. The cause of the disease
is not as yet clearly understood; i appar
ently arises spontaneously from debilitating
influences, such as old age, bad food, over
work, from specifio miasmatic or animal
pois >us as are generated in badly venti
lated, overcrowded stables. The latest the
ory, however, regarding this is that some
horse had the disease latent in his system
and under these circumstances breaks out.
These cases that arise spontaneously seem
always to run an aoute course. The active
principle of the contagion is described as a
bacillus similar to that of tubercle; they,
however, exist in limited numbers, but
micrococi and bacteria are plentiful. The
disease is usually preceded by diubetis en
sipidus (profuse urination). There is an
elevation of temperature 102° or 103° Fah
renheit. A slight limpid watery discharge
may exist for two or three days and not be
noticed. After this it bee mes more gluev
and sticks around the nostrils—about this
stage the discharge is of a yellowish amber.
Now notice an enlargement of the sub
maxillary lymphatics. In acute oases we
occasionally see swelling of the no e and
face, lameness of a peculiar kind, a general
stiffness is ofteu presens. The pulse ia the
early stage is quickened. Appetite not in
terfered with. As the disease advances
the discharge from the naso bocomes more
purulent, less limpid and will sink in water.
The mucus membrane lining the nose now
becomes of a leaden hue. Pustules crop out
on it and burst, causing the discharge to be
mixed with blood. These pustules have a
raised surface with ragged edge* and a de
pres ed center. After those pustules rupture
the inflammation in that particular spot
subsides giving the part the appearance of
being mouse eaten; more or less cough ac
companying the a< ove symptoms.
The chronic form rosembles the acute in
many rasped s, but is slower in its progress.
The discharge is not so profuse nor offen
sive, the cough is said to be more constant.
The submaxillary glands are bard, knotty
and uudurated, appear to be adherent to the
b me. Ass-dated with glanders we some
times have farcy. In this the lymphatios
and ducts in addition to the tumefaction
rupture, dsscharge and ulcerate. These
ulcers dry up ar.d heal and others break
out The period of incubation of glaudars
is from twenty-four hours to one year. Av
erage length of time three to six weeks.
Treatment in this disease is useless. Destroy
the horse as soon as a positive diagnosis is
made and burn the carcass, burn or disin
fect thoroughly all things the animal has
come in contact w*b.
Asparagus Culture.
There are vegetables and vegetables, but
there are none more delightful than aspara
gus.
And it is a very easy vegetable to grow,
if one goes at it just right. Its culture is
not as simple as raising radishes or beets or
the like, but there is no secret involved in
its culture beyond observing the few rea
sonable requirements—a proper prepara
tion of the bed and patience in awaiting the
time of harvest.
Now if one had to wait until a crop was
produced from the seed it would require an
abundant supply of patience, undoubtedly,
but as there is no necessity for engaging in
its culture after this manner, there is no
reason why anybody who owns the neces
sary ground should net have asparagus.
There are those who make it their business
to gro w plants for sale, and such can be had
at very reasonable prices per huudred plants
one, two or three years old, just as they
may choose
Ii is bettor to use 1-year-old roots to start
the bed with, but If it is desired to hurry
un molters a little 8-year-olds may be used.
Either can be purchased for $5 to $7 a thou
sand, and 100 hundred roots will make a
very nice bed for a small family to start
with. In the sfuall garden asparagus is
usually grown in beds, and it is the best
method. A hundred roots will set a bed
or 5 feet wide and 50 feet long—three rows
of thirty-three plants. This is dose plant
ing, but if the sod is properly prepared and
manured to start with and an occasional
top-dressing made every two years, it can
be grown perfectly well at this distance.
The shoots will not b • so large as when they
have more distance, but this is not impor
tant. Dig the soil out to a depth of two
feet or more, and in throwing it back do so
in the order that it was taken out, mixing
with it some vegetable matter includi g
some siabie manure ai.d broken bones,
some of the latter broken into smell pieces,
but putting in some large pieces, too. Hav
ing the roots ready at hand to plant out be
fore throwing back all of the soil —firm
what has been put in and allow for getting
the plants six inches below the surface.
Spread roots out in ei ery direction, prun
ing off any bruised ones. In fact, the roots
should be trimmed bark pretty close to the
stem. Cover to a depth of six inches only;
press the soil firmly to the roots, level the
bed and mulch it with several inches of
pine straw. Pine straw is a great adjunct
in asparagus growing. If 8-year-old roots
are used and set out in winter or early
spring let it grow i ll it will that summer.
The next spring it may be cut a little, but
not too much. Let the roots get well devel
oped and strong before cutting it f i eely a id
closely. With reaso able oare the bed will
yield a delici us vegetable for many years,

Pho6p'aorio Acid.
The value of phosphoric acid as a fertili
zer is pretty generally known, remarks the
American Cultiva : or, but how toob.ain it
in its cheapest and most effective form is
not of such universal knowledge. In order
to find out whether the soil needs it or not
a small part of it should be supplied with
the slag or rock containing heavy percent
ages oi phosphoric acid, and the diffe ence
in the growth of the crops noticed. In ad
tion to this the soil should be in a low state

Phosph rio sc.d is found in quitea variety
of rocks a<l eg-, and large qua titi a are

The qua t.: y ..iwaver, cannot always lie

the fact that in the first rock only a s nail
part of it is in a soluble state. Bone black,

These percentage of the phosphoric acid in
these rocks is about as follows:
Thoma..’slag 19.62; South Carolina rock

guano 17.15. The prices of the rocks vary,
some with a higher percen ago of phos

with a smaller percentage. But, as said be

it is in a soluble fo. m, and ns this is the great
essential, the percentage of the acid iu the

A New Fruit.
The Japanese wineberry, says Home and
Farm, has created quite a sensation by be
ing introduced into f' uit and ornamental
gardens. It somewhat resembles the rasp
berry, is a strong, vigorous grower, attains
about tbe hight of the raspberry, and is
perfectly hardy in all positions without
protection. It will stand the cold northern
winters and hot southern summers. The
leaves are all silvery white underneath and
dark green anove, and the young shoots
are covered with a reddish brown hair or
moss. Tne fruit is borne in large clusters,
and often seventy-five to 100 in a bunch.
Tbe berriei are inclosed in a burr, and when
ripe tbey open and show a large berry of
tbe brightest glossy light scarlet color. Tbe
burrs aud stems are covered witu a reddish
moss like a moss rosebud. The flavor of the
fruit is distinct from any ether, and is
sprightly, sweet and juicy, delicate and
luscious, with no sour or disagreeable taste.
It makes a fine quality of wine. It begins
to ripeu in July, and continues bearing for
a long time. It is tbe most prolific of all
berry bushes, and' is propagated from the
tips.
Fruit Trees.
TV hererer fruit trees do not shed their
leaves when frost comes it is a sign that
disease is at work which has prevented their
ripening. It leaves have grown without in
terruption during the summer, says a writer
in an exchange, the buds at their base be
gin to crowd them, even before the touch
of frost gives the sigual for them to drop.
Sometimes in a very late fall such leaves
turn red or yellow, and are blown off by
winds even berore frost comes. The tree
whose leaves dry upon it as winter ap
proaches shuuld have these dead leaves re
moved, or it wiil usually die the following
seasou. One reason for this is that so no
evaporation is all the time going on, even
through dried-up leaves, so long as tbey
cling to the tree.
IN FIELD AND GARDEN.
Thoughts Aporopriate to the Season.
Right now is as good as any time to man
ure tbe pear tree. The manure applied at
this season will be thoroughly incorporated
in the soil, giving tbe tree uniform growth
the next season. A considerable amount of
phosphate and potash should be mixed with
the manure.
When young orchards have been culti
vated aud kept free of weeds during the
summer, it is better to remove a few inches
of dirt immediately around tbe crown of
the trees. This will prevent late growth
and also leave exposed insect eggs deposited
just below the surface.
Texas blue grass is easily propagated
from sets or seeds from tbe first fall rains
in September until the first of May
and makes an admirable pasture for winter
gazing. It roots ranch deeper than the
entucky bine grass, and is tbns enabled to
Withstand the longest drouth or severest
cold.
Did you ever notice how much charcoal a
hog will eat if allowed constant access to
it. If you have never taken any note of it,
you will be surprised at ihe amount con
sumed. Oharchal furnishes a substance
that tbe nature of the hag demands in erder
that tbe prosper workings of the system
may be maintained. Don’t neglect the
charcoal. It will often prevent disease.
One of the reasons why hang do not lay
so ma.iy eggs in winter is lack of water. In
very cold weather hens will stick to their
perches nearly all day, and not come down
to either eat or drink until half starved.
Then, probably, thay find the water frozen
over, and eat snow Instead. No wonder, un
der such circumstances, hens grow light In
weight and their egg production is post
poned indefinitely. Let it always be remem
bered that when a hen suffers lack of food
or drink, the eggs which she contains are
absorbed to sustain lift, and as they are at
this stage very small, tbey are dearer feed
than eggs fully grown cooked aud prepared
tor their use.
Irregular feeding of animals is extremely
prevalent, and the results may seem to call
for some simple condiment to repair the in
jury thus caused. But in the common con
dition powders there are some drugs which
are useless, aud some that are worse. A
very good home-made mixture which will
s >rve all purposes and is free from any ob
jectionable quality, H. Stewart says, is
thus prepared; One pound of linseed meal,
eight oun -ee of salt, two ounces of ground
ginger, and eight ounces of flue hicnory
wood ashes. A handful of this given twice
a week will de no harm under any circum
stances and wiil rpliave any ill results of
simple indigestion of tho food.
Adaptation to one's business and the thor
ough knowledge of it which oomes by expe
rience, are essential conditions of success
upon tbe farm, or elsewhere. No other one
thing can conbributa so much to the success
of a dairy farm as a dairyman. No mau
oan make a fortune at truck farming unless
he be a truck farmer. And dairymen,
gardener and other specialists in farming,
aie like lawyers and doctors, they are
made, not born. Skill is talent, and skill
comes of experience. Therefore, hen you
adopt a line of farming, follow it up.
Stand by it. Stick to it. Master it. Se
cure all that is known of it, and add to the
knowledge by tbe exercise of your own fer
tilized brain. ‘ 'There is always room at the
top” of any ladder, but you can only reach
it by climbing. You cannot sail to it, nor
fly to it. Nor can you reach the top of any
one by backing down after you have
climbed a few rounds, and starting up a
new one. If you would succeed, climb 1

It was a despei ale com: at.
Aud an unfaithful w ife at the bottom of
j tbe whole affair.
Sheriff Hewitt arrived hero Thursday
night, having in custody Will Drukell, who
was arrested for shooting Bob White, about
u mile and a quarter cast ot Vilia Rica, yes
terdayuv rni g.
Will Driskell is just 23 year! old. and
would weigh about 135 pounds. B >b White,
the mau he killed we ghs about 2UO and Is 23
years old As soon as the arrival of the
. sheriff last night, a Times leporter held an
interview with tho pris mer, a part of which
e give our readers, allowing them to draw
their owu conclusions as to tbe remainder of
the interview:
“Aud this is Will Driskell, is it, tho slayer
of Bob White.'”
“Yes; I shot Bob White in self-defense
and for other causes this (Thursday) nmm
between 10 and 11 o’clock.”
“VY hat are the circumstances and partic
ulars which caused tbe shooting'” queried
the reporter.
“Well,” said Mr. Driskell, “I was going
through the woods yesterday morning and
came t > a tree top situa ed about 100 varus
fromadim path, leading from New Villa
Rica to the old camp ground near
the Douglas oouuty line, that led
through the woods. As I was pass
ii>S the tree top I heard a noise and, looking
around, saw ray wife and Bob White in the
tree top, and
Hero Mr. Driskell paused aud, from the
huge sigh he gave, it seemed that be was
greatly affected.
“What did you do when you saw them,
when you saw the situation described partly
above?” continued the reporter.
“Well, about the time I *aw them they
saw me. and Bob star.ed toward me. and as
soon as he came near enough i struck him
with my gun; he snatched the gun from
me and threw it away; we both clinched at
this time and also both drew our pistols.
Bob drawing his first, aud mine went off
accidentally. Bob White threw me to the
ground aud was preparing to shoot me,
w hen I fired and hit him just above the
left eye. He fell over stone dead.
“During the fight between me and Bob
not a word was said by either, but my wife
screamed to the ton of her voice.
“Just as soon as Bob fell I (jot up and took
my wife to her mother's, which was not far
away. We never spoke but a few words on
tbe way and when 1 left her at the house I
told her I never wanted her to come to my
house again.
“I went to the telegraph office and sent
the telegram you published yesterday.
“This is all of the horrible affair. 1 never
suspected anything between Bob White and
my wife. Bob and I were good frisads. 1
loved him.
“I thought Bob White was in Douglas
ville, for he had sent me word that he had
a case there, and left like he was going.
My wife was and had been visiting her
mother several days, a mile or so from
home, who was very sick.”
Mr. Driskell seems considerably affeoted.
In a talk with Mrs. Driskell she said that
she met Bob White on tbe lone path in the
woods, and he told her he wauted to read a
letter ho had to her and talk with her sorno.
She said she told him she would have to go
on, but he persuaded her and they went off
to one side, so they could read tbe letter
and talk the matter over. She said
that Bob spread down his coat for her to sit
on, aud that when Will came up he struck
Bob with his guu and shot him, killing hitn
instantly. Sho says she and Bob were doing
no wrong nor intended any.
We learn that Bob White, the murdered
man, and Mrs. Driskeil met in Villa Rica
the day before the killing. We also under
stand that W ill Driskell was very much de
voted to his wife.
The coroner’s jury doclared it justifiable
homicide.
FOR GEORGIA FARMERS.
Farm bands are very scarce in Emanuel

nothing, now he is worth *2,000, allot whica
he has made by farming.

No better preparation can be had than
Ayer’s Hair Vigor. All who use it speak of
Its merits in tbe highest terms and place it,
as a dressing, far beyond anything else of
the kind. It Imparts to tbe hair a beautiful
silken lustre and a fine fragrance, prevents
baldness, and restores gray hair to its orig
inal color and texture.
“For five years I was troubled with a
disease of the scalp, which caused the hair
to become harsh and dry and to fall out in
such large quantities as to threaten com
plete baldness. Ayer’s Hair Vigor being
strongly recommended to me, I began to
apply this preparation, and before the first
bottle was used the hair ceased falling out
and the scalp was restored to Its former
healthy condition.” —Francisco Acevedo,
