THE HEADLIGHT OBJECTS.
The populist Organ in this county,
the Flovilla Headlight, objects to the
populists joining the bimetalie league.
We only intended to open the doors of
the league wide enough for patriots
in (lie populist oarty to join, and
cranks ami stradlers in any party to
stay out. The Headlight lias com
plained that if a man was a populist
he was continually discriminated
against, and when his party is recog
nized in any way they object to that.
The state league at Griffin will he
overwhelmingly democratic, and it
will advocate democratic principles;
hut how it would hurt a patriot to be
recognized as a part of the people in
a non partisan spirit, we can not see.
We don't think the Headlight is a
true exponent of the populist party,
if it is, they can not he pleased.
They object to sugar because it is
sweet, although anyone expected it
to be otherwise. They object to vin
egar because it is sour, its natural
office ; to summer because it is warm,
and winter because it is cold. So they
do nothing hut object, and if at last
t hey don’t succeed, t hey object again.
Let thorn object, that is all they can
do—object ! object! object!.
The “sound money” democrats and “sound
money” republicans in Alabama have com
bined so as to prevent the triumph of free sil
ver in that state. These are the men who hold
up their hands in holy horror when Bryan an
nounced that he would not vote for a gold
standard candidate should such be nominated.
—Macon Herald.
Yes, but don’t speak that so sharp
ly, or you will be called a populist.
The latest test of a democrat is this:
If you would not vote for John Sher
man you are not a good democrat.
Now, in all seriousness, we are a dem
ocrat, “simon pure,” just like the
Herald, and expect to be in the dem
ocratic ranks when all the goldbugs
have joined the republican party.
Yes, sir, we are democrats, and feel
insulted when we are called populists;
hut if any man calls us a blue bellied
republican, we will fight him on the
spot.
The general council of Philadelphia
at its session last Thursday, decided
by a'unanimous Tote to send the Lib
erty bell to Atlanta. Some months
ago the management of the Exposi
tion asked for the bell, but the re
quest was refused. The matter has
been put to the Philadelphia council
in anew light since the legislature of
Pennsylvania decided to make a State
exhibit at the Cotton States and In
ternational Exposition, and this
unanimous action of the council in
favor of taking the Liberty bell to
Atlanta was the result.
The people should not he fooled or
gulled by the deceptive cry of “sound
money.” There is no issue on that
point. Everybody believes in sound
money and want no other kind. The
issue is this: as to what it takes to
make sound money. Sixteen pounds
of silver will make as many sound
dollars as one pound of gold, and no
one will deny this. A dollar don’t
have to be so scarce that you can’t
see one once a week to be sound. We
want more sound dollars, and want
them made of silver, for the reason
there is no gold to make them of. **
A “gentleman” who knows all
about Mexico, and a “gentleman”
who understands the financial ques
tion, and a “gentleman” did this and
did the other. But who in thunder
is that gentleman? What is the name
of the gentleman the goldbug papers
are always talking about? Call his
name if you know any such individ
ual. Ah, fie! gold “buddies," your
bubble will soon burst with a loud
financial report.
After we get bimetalism and all our
financial system in good order, lazy,
indolent people will remain poor,
under the force of the law of nature;
but thrifty, industrious people will
not. It is a fiat of fate from which
no human genius can absolve us,
Thank God! there is no excellence
without labor.
The gold craze is not only dying
out, but its corpse needs a disinfect
ant. The odor emitted from its pu
trefacted carcass is ominous, and may
cause miasmatic impressions on the
body politic. 1
FARMERS’ COLUMNS.
THE GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION,
EXPERIMENT, GA.
tOW PEAS.
Our leading article in Press Bulletin
No. 19, for April, was “Cow Peas.” Re
curring so soon to the same subject evi
dences our belief in the great value and
importance of this crop as a hay and
renovating crop. Next toeorn and cot
ton the cow pea is probably the most
important 'farm crop over a large por
tion, if not all. of the South. (1) It fur
nishes a ready and easily available re
liance for hay, when cut at the proper
time. (2) If the weather is not suita
ble for haying, or it is not desirable to
utilize the crop in this way, it is next
to Indian corn as a material for the
silo. (3) If not desired for hay, or for
silage, the peas may be permitted to
ripen and then be gathered, or cattle
and hogs may be turned on to gather
for themselves. (4) The peas are no
mean addition to the list of table food
dishes, whether in the green or dry
state. However utilized the soil will
have been more or less benefitted by
the growth of a pea crop.
The experiments on this Station, as
well as elsewhere, show that by far the
best disposition to make of a crop of
cow peas is to convert the vines into
hay. To re-state, in order, the several
ways of disposing of the crop, I quote
from Press Bulletin No. 19 (April, 1895)
the conclusions that were based on the
results of experiments detailed in Bul
letin No. 27 :
“1. The best disposition of a crop of
Cow Peas is to convert the vines into
hay (or ensilage.)
2. The next best is to permit the peas
to ripen and gather (or pasture them.)
3. Mowing the vines and permitting
them to lie on the surface and plowing
under in November was decidedly bet
ter than turning the vines under in Au
gust.
4. Turning the vines under green
gave the poorest economical results.
No apology is offered for so often
calling attention to the Cow Pea crop.
The point we stress now is to plant peas
—plant them in the corn field-plant
the missing places in the cotton field —
plant after early truck and garden
crops- plant wherever the ground is
not entirely occupied with some other
growing crop; but, especially, plant in
the grain stubble fields.
Cornfields already planted in “the
step,” between the hills of corn, or in
the middles between the corn rows,
should be sown broadcast with peas at
the rate of half a bushel of seed peas per
acre, and plowed in at the last plowing.
Where the “ktand” of cotton is inferior,
the Speckled pea,the “Unknown,” or the
New Era, may be planted 10 or 12 peas
in a place, wherever there is a missing
place of 4 feet, or more, between the
cotton plants.
But the small grain field is the place
now of most importance. Plow the
ground broadcast, sow one bushel of
peas per acre and harrow in, adding
before harrowing 200 pounds of Acid
Phosphate and (on sandy land) 100
pounds of kainit (or 25 pounds of mu
riate) per acre. Or, the peas and fer
tilizer may be sown in the unplowed
ground and plowed in with turn shov
els, and then harrowed smooth (if to
be mown.) The above two methods
will give a mixed growth of peavines
and grasses, and will be easier to cure.
If seed are scarce the land may be bro
ken flush and then planted in 3 foot
row^s; or two furrows may be backed
together, the peas dropped in one of
the furrows, and covered by splitting
out the ridge left in the middle by the
two furrows. Of course when planted
in drills the crop .should receive such
cultivation as may be conveniently
given. This plan (using same amount
and kind of fertilizer) will usually give
a larger crop of peas (seeds), and but
little grass. Avery good way to plant
peas in stubble, or in weed land, is to
break flash with 1-horse turn plows,
following, dropping the seed peas in
every third or fourth furrow ; or if a
2-horse plow is used, drop in every al
ternate furrow, taking care not to cover
too deeply, and harrowing off after
plowing.
Next month we will discuss the meth
ods of curing into hay.—R. J. Redding.

Tomato Fruit Worm.
C. S. H„ Winter Haven. Fla.: “Is there any
practical wav of destroying a green and some
times brownish worm that eats into and spoils
the fruit of the tomato? Some say it is the
boll-worm. It is doing a good deal of damage
around here.”
[Answer by Hugh N. Starnes, Horticultu
rist.!
The worn in question is the Helio
this armigera, commonly known as the
“Corn-worm” or “8011-worm.” It is
quite familiar to the public under both
names, doing serious damage to the
tips of the ears of corn and to cotton
bolls, and also attacking various gar
den products as snap-beans, green peas,
pumpkins and gladiolus plants.
The worm itself is the larva of a
Haoth which deposits its eggs in the to
mato, cotton-boll, etc. After doing all
the damage it can, the larva or worm
burrows into the ground and incases
itself in a cocoon, remaining therein in
the chrysalis state through the winter,
from which it emerges in spring in the
perfect or butterfly state.
On cotton-bolls, spraying with arse
nites (Paris Green or London Purple)
has proved, to a certain extent, effect
ive. This would of course be out of the
question with edible fruits or vegeta
bles. There remains, therefore, the
one remedy of hand picking the worms,
which if persistently followed will
greatly reduce their number. Fall
plowing, in addition, will enable the
farmer to avail himself of the assist
ance of the birds, to a certain extent,
who will capture a large number of
chrysalids.
Scarlet Clover In Vineyard,
J. M., Milner, Ga.: I have a vineyard now
in its fourth year. The vines are set 6x12 feet.
I am thinking of sowing it with Crimson Clo
ver if it will not injure the vines. Would you
advise me to do so ? What effect, if any. would
the clover have upon the vines or fruit? These
vines have an abundance of roots, many of them
being only an inch or so below the surface.
Would it injure the vines by plowing say about
twelve inches from them and breaking surface
roots?

TWO LIVES SAVED.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111.,
was told by her doctors she had Consumption
and that there was no hope for her, but two bot
tles Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos.
Eggers. 139 Florida St., San Francisco, suffered
from a dreadful cold, approaching Consump

boughtone bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery
and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. It is such results, of which these
are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy
of this medicine Fn Coughs and Colds. Free

well on stiff red clay land. It requires
a sandy loam. A good substitute for
Crimson Clover would be the Cow Pea,
Plant either Unknown. Clay or Whip
poorwill —preferably the former. Put
in two rows of peas between the grape
rows. They will thus stand four feet
apart from each other and four feet
from the grape ro v on eith t side. The
ground should not'"be prepared with a
turn plow, as it would thus be broken
too deep and too many of the grape
roots would be severed. The vine can
stand the disruption of a large propor
tion of its root system, however, with
out material injury, as it puts out new
roots very readily. It will be better to
prepare with a Planet, jr., cultivator,
if you have one : it’ not. with a short
half shovel, running lightly. Even if
the pens are put in without any previ
ous breaking—that is. by running out
the furrows and dropping the peas,
they will do very well and fewer roots
be injured. Cultivation should be kept
itp through the season with cultivator
or scrape, running shallow, and the
peas picked and votes allowed to re

STelo-t Worms.
TV. A 8.. New nan. G o “What will prevent
bugs an i worms from I o irg into and destroy
ing cantaloupes and muskmeloas ?”
[Answer by Hugh N. Starnes, Horticultu
rist. |
The only remedy no far found effect
ive asrainst that pest of the melon grow
er- PI i(: cel lun t hyali natal is —is early
planting. Cantaloupes maturing suf
ficiently early escape the ravages of the
'worm. Many experimenters have work
ed in vain to discover simple, sure and
safe preventives. The Georgia Exper
iment Station is now trying paper
sacks, but it is feared that the worms,
when shut off from the melons will
turn their attention to the leaves—for
they are destructive to fruit and foliage
alike.
Mounting melons on chips and bark
has been tried, but uselessly, for the
worms do not make their way upward
from the ground.
Hand killing, both of moths and
larvae, when the first appearance of
either is noticed may help to reduce
subsequent damage.
Early planting, however, is the only
safe course to follow. For this purpose
it is suggested that the seed be started
under glass (common hot beds will do)
by planting in two inch “Neponset”
paper pots, which may be bought at
about S3 per 1,009 from R. &J. Far
quhar & Cos.. 16.and 19 S. Market street,
Boston, Mass. These pots open at the
sides and slip off from the interior soil
without disturbing the roots of the
growing plant. They can be used over
and over again for several seasons.
Ra : p’>erri s for Georgia.
Mrs. tf. M. F.. Columbus, Ga.: Give me the
names of several of the best varieties of red
and black Raspberr'es. and when and how to
plant them. Can currants be grown in this
climate, and waat soil is best adapted to their
culture?
[Answer by Hugh N. Starnes. Horticul
turist.]
Raspberries do not and > well in Middle
or South Georgia. They cannot s„and
the summer drouths and heat. North
of the Chattahoochee they thrive bet
ter. Hence, in this state, in selecting
varieties, it is not a question of quality
or productiveness, but of survival. On
ly those varieties "capable of resisting
the summer can be planted, and to
these we are confined, irrespective of
other considerations.
' Of the Black Caps or Rubus Occiden
talis species, Smith's Prolific leads. It
is very vigorous and also productive
and of fine quality for a Black Cap.
Doolittle and Cromwell come next.
Gregg, an old standard at the North, is
not sufficiently heat-resistant here.
Of the R. Strlgosus or Red Group, only
Catawissa and Rancucas can stand the
summer. Cuthbert, the standard red
berry, succumbs. Rancocas is very
productive.
Of Strigosvs Hybrids , Caroline is rec
omended. It is an orange colored ber
ry* of good fia vor, large a nd showy.
Strange tosay two varieties of R. Ide
as, (the European strain) do very well
here— Fontenay and Antwerp Yellow—
the former remarkably well, suffering
less from drouth than any other. Both
are large, yellow and of good quality,
though not particularly productive,
Antwerp outyielding Fontenay. These
are the only berries I can confidently
recommend for Middle Georgia. They
may not do as well at the low elevation
of Columbus, as here, though the addi
tional humidity of the Chattahoochee
valley may offset the greater altitude
of this location.
Many of the standard, well known
berries, as Irinckle’s Orange, Golden
Queen , Champlain, (the most delicious
of all —when you can get it) Royal
Church, Hansetl, Cuthbert, Marlboro,
Turner, Gregg, Ohio, Palmer, Tyler, Eu
reka, Lacett, etc., will not do in this
climate. We have tried them all and
double their number of others less
widely known, and have sifted them
down to the list just given, though still
engaged in testing new berries as they
appear.
If planted at all in this latitude they
should be given every advantage. Good
deep, loam that never dries out or
bakes in the severest drouth is the only
land suitable; what is known as “sec
ond bottoms” will do first rate.
They should be planted any time
from December Ist to March Ist. Af
ter that it is too late. The rows should
be at least six feet apart and the plants
placed three feet in the row.
Stable manure makes an excellent
fertilizer with the addition of potash
in the shape of 600 lbs. of Kainit per
acre as a top dressing. Any good, com
plete, standard commercial fertilizer
may be substituted for the stable ma
nure at the rate of 1000 lbs. per acre,
broadcasted before the plants are put
in, provided the application of Kainit is
retained.
The second season there should be
erected a permanent trellis of two No.
12 wires on three foot stakes and the
vines tied to same in spring.

Y., can supply plants.

Currants will not do in this climate
even as well as Raspberries. We have
tested White Grape, Fay’s Prolific, White
Dutch, Cherry , Crandall and Black Na
ples. They all die. Would not advise
wasting *;oney on them for your loca
tion, though it is possible that Black
Naples may survive if planted on the
north side of a wall or building in or
der that it may be shielded from the
southern sun. But Black Naples is such
a poor variety that it will hardly pay
for the pains taken with it even if you
succeed in raising it. lam quite sure
none of the choice varieties can be in
duced to thrive here with any sort of
treatment.

[Answer by Hugh N. Starnes, Horticultu

No one handbook 50vers satisfactori
ly all of these subjects. Perhaps th<9
work that covers the field more fully
than any other is Fuller’s “Small Fruit
Culturist.” (Orange .ludd Go., 75, Broad
way, New York.) While its principles
and methods are sound and practical,
it is not quite up to date on varieties.
The work embraces Strawberries,
Raspberries, Currants, Gooseberries,
Black berries, Huckleberries, etc. More
detailed and satisfactory information,
however, can be obtained by purchas
ing separate works on each subject.
On Strawberries. for instance, the
“Biggie Berry Book” (Wilnter Atkin
son Cos., Philadelphia) is just the thing
you want. On the Raspberry. Black
berry and Dewberry, Professor S. H.
Bailey's admirable bulletins cover the
field well and fully. Write to Cornell
University, Ithaca, N. Y., Horticultu
ral department, and the bulletins will
be sent.
In this connection I would state that
the following handbooks will be found
quite serviceable on the subjects of
which they respectively treat:
Grapes: The ltushberg Catalogue

Bailey's "Nursery Book” (Rural

a valuable adjunct to the above, treat

these works are expensive, ranging
from 50 cents to ©l, and should be in

Wine, Peach Cider and Unferraented Grape
Juice.
O. S. H., Stat’iam. Ga., “Several parties here
have fine s rapes and they fear that they can’t
readily find a market for them and want to
put them into Wine nnd Cider. Can you send
me a formula for making Wine and Grape Ci
der—also Peach Cider ?”
[Answer hy HUGH N. Starnes, Horticultu
rist.]
Wine.
Only the briefest directions can be
given here. On Wine making many
■volumes have been written, and scien
tific Wine making is an elaborate pro
cess. The principles underlying it,
however, ate few and simple, and may
be condensed in the one direction :
“Reinforce the alcohol and dilute the
acid.” This is done t>y adding sugar
aud water. The “must” of the grape
is the expressed juice. Must with a
specific gravity of 80 degrees generally
contains sugar enough for the develop
ment of the proper amount of alcohol,
and is not too acid. Concord or Ives
must, however, will not show a specific
gravity of more than 65 degrees on an
average, and must be brought up to 80
degrees by the addition of sugar and
the excess of acid reduced by water.
To do this with precision it is of
course necessary to use both a saccha
rometer and an acidimeter. For all
practical purposes, however, it will be
found, year in and year out, that the
following, formula will suffice :
To each gallon of must add half a
gallon of water and one pound of sugar
to each gallon of the mixture thus
made. For instance, if there are 50
gallons must, add 25 gallons water and
75 pounds sugar.
A detailed description of vessels and
operations is impossible in a short arti
cle. Let it suffice to say that for a
light, smooth wine with little charac
ter or aroma, it is necessary to express
the juice as soon as the grapes are
crushed. For a fuller red wine with
pronounced character the must should
ferment on the husks for from 24 to 48
hours after sugar and water are added.
Wine so ttoade, however, is apt to be too
astringent and foxy to suit a delicate
palate.
A fair claret may be made by taking
the husks, after the juice is expressed,
and adding sufficient water to make a
slush that can be readily stirred, with
three pounds of sugar to each gallon of
water. This will make as good a wine
as the ordinary hotel “Medoc.”
Unfermented Grape Juice.
Express the grape juice after crush
ing before it has remained long enough
on the hulls to have acquired a harsh,
rough, astringent taste from the tannic
acid. By so doing, a smoother, nicer
drink will be obtained.
After straining, heat almost to boil
ing point. Light ebullition will not
hurt. Immerse bottles in boiling wa
ter and pour the juice into them, filling
to overflowing. Drive tight corks into
the bottles with a light mallet so that
no air will be suffered to remain. Seal
aud lay bottles on their sides in cellar
or other cool place where temperature
will not rise above 65 degrees at any
time.
Peach Cider or “Mobby.”
The peach is far too valuable to waste
in making this very inferior beverage.
It would be an utter prostitution of its
better qualities—much like putting
Nancy Hanks to breaking new ground
or hauling a milk wagon. .The stuff is
disliked by a majority of persons. It
is slimy, thick and sticky. It would be
much better to dry the fruit either with
or without an evaporator. However,
here is the simple formula :
Peel and pit the peaches—preferably
clingstones, as they are more juicy.
Run through a cider mill; let the puip
stand for 18 or 20 hours, press and
strain. That is all.
One gallon of water, in which is dis
solved a pound of sugar added to every
two gallons of the mash, when run
through the mill, will imp-ove the
character of the “Mobby,” it both
thins it down and assists fermentation
“Mobby” may be more roughly pre
pared by beating' the peaches unpeeled
and unpitted in a trough and pressing
out. The refuse or pomace is good for
hog-feed.

The method is simple and inexpen

size of a chestnut; or half teaspoonful
of spirits of turpentine; or half tea
spoonful of bi-sulphide of carbon. Close

Tight Lacing and Lack of Out-Door Ex

(From the Detroit Sun.)
The large, pretentious brick residence at 86
Miami avenue, in this city, is the home of the
heroine of this interesting story. She is Miss
Margaret Stenbaugh, and her experiences
during the past four years are published here
for the first time.
Miss Stenbaugh is a pretty girl of about 20
years and is to-day the true picture of the
ideal, healthy, robust and jovial American
girl. She was not always so, as is proven by
the accompanying statement made by her.
“ Four years ago,” she said, ‘‘l was such a
scrawny, puny little midget, pale and ema
ciated fey an ailment peculiar to us women
that ray father and mother gave me up to
die. The local practitioner, whose name was
Dr. Glassford, (I was at that time living at
Scotland, Ont.q said it was only a matter of
days when 1 would be laid away in the
churchyard. 1 could not walk. 1 became
so weak, and regularly every night my father
used to carry me up stairs to my room. I
can distinctly remember my telling him that
he wouldn’t have to carry me about much
longer, and how he said, while the tears
glistened in his eyes, that he would be willing
to do it always, if he could only have me
with him.
“At this time I read, or was told by some
body, of the wonderful cures that were being
wrought by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People, and my father went to Brant
ford, where he purchased a couple of boxes
from W. Wallace. I commenced taking
them, and I thought for a time that they did
me no good, but very'shortly I noticed a great
change. They began to act on my trouble,
and in the short space of six weeks I was
able to walk. I continued taking the pills,
and in six months I was in the condition you
see me now. I fully believe that they alone
saved me from the grave, and you will always
find myself and the balance of our family
ready to talk about the good Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills did for me.”
