Inquiries Answered by the Ag
ricultural Department.
MUCH INFORMATION FOR FARMERS
l’Htick and Kmi ftn*t.
Question. —Will you give me some
information about the diseases our
farmers call “back rust” and “rod
rust?”’ Can they be prevented in any
way?
Answer —Both of these diseases are
due to physiological causes, and not to
the attacks of any fungus. The “black
Vast” should be called the “yellow leaf
Might,” as in the first stages of the dis
nise the loives assume a decidedly yel
low-spotted or mosaic appearance, and
in this unhealthy condition they are at¬
tacked by various fungus growths,
which gives the leaves a black appear¬
ance, thus giving rifie to the name
“black rust. » » The causes of the di.s
ease are not veil understood as yet, but
it iias been demonstrated tuat the fun
gus organisms do not originate tiie dis¬
ea . 0 , and that they only hasten the de¬
struction of the already diseased plants.
Trials of various fungicides have proved
that the disease cannot be prevented by
their application. Experiments at the
Alabama Station shows i a reduction of
tliG disease where kaiuit was used as a
fertilizer. This effect is more pro¬
nounced in seasons of drouth, followed
by copious rains, than when rains are
frequent enough to keep the soil con
tmu ulv moist, and is doubtless due to
the action of the kaiuit “in binding
more firmly together the soil particles,
so that it is more retentive of moisture,
or more able to draw it up from below. > >
“Wood ashes and salt are known to
produce much the same results in the
soil.” The “red rust, » t or “red leaf
blight,” which is so common on thin
uplands, and so rare on rich or alluvial
soils, is the result simply of impover¬
ished soil, showing particularly a lack
of nitrogen, and probably of potash and
phosphoric acid also. The remedy for
this is by proper rotation of crops, to
til. your land with humus or vegetable
matter, and then with proper fertilizing
and cultivation you will no longer bo
troubled with the “red rust.” Much of
our land, by continuous planting in
cotton, is exhausted of all humus, and
only by its restoration first of all can
proper fertilizing and cultivation be
carried 011 .—State Agricultural Depart¬
ment.
Topping Cotton.
Question.—D oes it pay to top cotton?
If so, at what time should it be done?
Answer. — This question has been
discussed pro and con for years and no
satisfactory conclusions have yet been
reached. In some experiments made at
the Georgia Experiment station the re¬
sults left the question as unsettled as it
has always been. In other words, some
rows that were topped showed a slight
loss in yield, while others showed a
slight gain over the uu|opped rows.
The generally accepted tneory is that
it does not pay to top cotton, though
■under certain conditions it might prove
profitable. It is thought by many that
it hastens the maturing of the bolls al¬
ready set, which would be an advant¬
age with an early frost. Others think
that it tends to check the shedding of
the forms and young bolls, but this
claim I think unfounded. Topping cot¬
ton, when considered advisable, is usu
ullr done when the plant is well fruited
and at the same time growing rapidly.
This condition is usually found about
the first of August, when the seasons
have been propitious. As a general
rule. I would advise against the practice.

Disinfecting Sf tbles.
Question. —Please give me directions
for disinfection of stables, where ani
nulls with contagious disease have been
kept.
Answer. — Remove all litter and rub
bish of every kind and burn. Haul out
all manure to the field, scatter and plow
under.
Dissolve two ounces of carbolic acid
in a gallon of water, heat, and with it
wash thoroughly all feed troughs, wa¬

“Velluws" In l’each Tree*.
jC.'-nuriu.V — I q . there a5V retnelv
known for tlW “yellows’' r m P>acft Gees:
An-wer. -Very many efforts have
hecn made to cure this apparently mys
tonnes and most destructive disease,
hut ail without avail Even the cause
nf Led the disease han not yet been deter
wti'cn.....We do know
that it is highly contagious, and liable
to attack tee most vigorous trees of any
age, especially when in bloom. It IS
also knowu to be hereditary. The only
plan so far used successfully for fighting
this disease is to cut down and burn the
tree, root and brauch. By .hi. heroic
treatmentthedisea.se may at least be
h„d i.. check. Good C!ir8a„d thorough
cultivation appear to render the trees
less liable to attack, though they by no
means secure immunity from it. This
disease is very common in the orchards
of the east and north, but as yet has
done but little harm in Georgia. Want
of proper cultivation, and the work of
the “borer,” will frequently cause
peach trees to appear as though they
had the “yellows,” but the disease is as
yet rare with us, and it should not be
permitted by any carelessness to obtain
a firm foothold.—State Agricultural De

JAY GOULD AND PADEREWSKI
Tlieir Characters as Shown In the Lines
of Their Hands.
Just as ‘‘a woman’s heart is mir¬
rored in her eyes” so the life of a
man is reflected on his palms. At
least, this is the view taken by Miss
Rosa Bauhut , in The Humanitarian,
and we are indebted to her for a
graphic description of the palms of
the great American millionaire, Jay
Gould, and of Paderewski, the Pol¬
ish pianist.
The hand of Jay Gould, the Amer¬
ican capitalist, is that of a man of
great business capacity, for the fin¬
ger of Mercury is long and spatulat
ed, which always indicates inordi¬
nate love of money, and the third
linger—which is quite as long as the
second and has also a spatulate tip
—gives spirit of adventure and pas¬
sion for speculation. All great gam
biers have this sort of third linger.
The fate lino—with so many upward
branches rising from it in all direc¬
tions—is indicative of a career of
extraordinary success as far as
money is concerned. The only
check in the career of any impor¬
tance is shown by a downward line
at some years past BO. The life
line, breaking short at about 57 or
58, marks the age at which lie died.
Widowerhood is shown by the bar
to one of the affection lines at the
percussion of the hand, and the deep
sorrow line from the heart crossing
the fate line at about 52 gives the
date of this occurrence. The chain¬
ed form of the life line, at its close,
shows a lengthened period of illness
before the death. Mercury is the
ruling planet, but the sun has al¬
most equal power, giving success,
riches and energy. Mars is third in
power, giving strong will, courage
and combativeness of character, all
of which he had in a great degree.
The line from the Mount of Venus
at about 19, barring an upward love
line, shows some disappointment
and worry through a woman at that
age.
The hand of Paderewski, the great
pianist, shows energy by the spatu
lated finger tips, though this may,
in some degree, ho duo to the prac¬
tice of his art. There is no mate
rialism in this hand. All is intellee
tuality and nervous excitability.
The line of head is apart from tlie
lino of life, as it genoi ally is with all
0 f the artistic temperament, and it
droops in excess toward the Mount
of the Moon, showing overvivid
imagination. The heart lino is full
a nd strong and the branches at its
termination show devotion in affoc
tion. The line of fate terminates
under the bun finger, indicating
art dominates the existence, and the
one deep line it forms on the Mount
of the Sun shows riches and
fi,>n through art. The downward
line on the fate line shows some
deep attachment at about 27. The
gives love of melody, the moon of
harmony and Saturn in the hand of
a musician would indicate instru
mental rather than vocal music as
the talent most likely to be exercised

Tl-e French Provinces.
Normandy, Picardy, Provence—
in fact nearly allot the provinces of
France—have yielded to the level¬
ing hand of modern institutions.
Brittany alone seems to have pre¬
served its types and individuality.
To be Breton is by no means to be
French. The old men to this day
chatter in the Celtic tongue. The
Breton mother, when not at work
in the fields, sits in the door of her
cottage, plying the distaff and recit¬
ing the old legends and quaint folk
songs to the white coiffed baby be¬
side her. The Breton woman still
wears the costume of her mothers
before her and is satisfied in it.
Algebra.
The science of algebra is said to
have been the invention of Moham
med of Buziana about 850 A. D.
The science was introduced into
Spain by the Moors. The first trea¬
tise on the subject in any European
language is believed to have been
thut by Luca Paccoli in 1494.
Old Corks.
The following extract from a re¬
cently published interview with an
old cork merchant shows that old
corks are anything but useless.
“These,” said the interviewed,
leading the way to a long, high
room, lined on each side with im¬
mense wooden bins, “are all old
corks. The first bin you see is filled
with mixed or broken cork articles.
I pay something like fourpence or
sixpence a pound for this refuse,
and after being washed in hot water
and then dried it is ground fine and
sold to linoleum manufacturers at 2
shillings a pound.
“These are what wo call
‘screws,’ ” ho said, leading the way
to a bin of old ginger beer and wine
bottle corks. “By ‘screws’ we
mean that the corks have been
pierced by a corkscrew, which, of
course, renders them unfit for re¬
making into new corks. So we put
them through a ‘coring’ machine,
which cuts the inside out of them
and leaves a hollow tube. The tubes
are then sliced into rings for use in
beer and ginger beer bottles. The
best quality of wine corks, bought
by us for less than a twelfth of their
original cost, we obtain from the
big west end clubs and restaurants.
It is very seldom that the corkscrew
goes into the corks in high priced
wine, therefore it is an easy matter
for us to make them into apparently
brand new «orks. If it were not for
our trade, corks would be twice the
price they are at present. We re
make an enormous number in a
year. I employ six men to gather
them, and each man has a list of
hotels where he must call
a faWy ^ ^
but when I first, started it was better
than it is now. Other people soon
found out that I had a good thing
and followed my example. One
man has already made a snug for
tune out of old corks and is now
fitting up new machinery which
