As the tram stopped at a small town in Virginia, the mail bag was thrown a negro boy of perhaps fifteen years who started off at a brisk run to *h« post office. But u larger boy. turning a cor ner. suddenly ran into the uiailcarrie.i and overturned him. As soon as he re nimadf he turned upon the ag gressor. Look a heah! he exclaimed. You wants to be keerful of dis chile. A hen you knocks ms down you jars de whole gov meat of de United btu t e. I carry de mail. The Columbus Enquirer furnishes this bit of political gossip, but it will not like ly materialize. It. is rumoied that tho populist of Ga. are preparing a plan of campaign which a-ill involve a prohibition fight' Tom Watson announces that he will have a prohibition plank put in the populist platform when the state convention m-eta sons to catch the prohibition vote The plan, then is to nominate for gover nor Mr. waiter B. Hill, Macon, who pub licly lennnuced bis allegiance to democ racy some } ears age to be a r.traightout mohibitiouist wi h<>ut other party align ment. Watson w ill be the general man ager of the campaign and he will aim to ii <ke it red hot all over the state. He will not run for congress in the tench, but probably put forwaid G. H.

Some time ago I wrote you in regard to opening in the reports of the depart ment a space devoted to onr roads as a special adjunct to the farm. This vou did, bnt as no one ha* had anything to say on the subject, will you give some of the advantages ot good roads to the farmers of the state, that we mar all be come more interested iu this important subject. A. L. I.. Gainesville. The advantage ot good roads to the fanner has thus been tersely and clearly presented under the title of '* What Good Roads Mean": They would make it possible for the farmers to take advantage promptly of the highest market, no matter at what season of the year. They would save him days and week* of time which he wastes every year wallowing through the disgusting mire of dirt roads. They would reduos to s minimum the wear and tear on wagons and carriages. They would lesson the expense in keep ing horses in working order, and fewer horses would be required in the country to perform the farmer’s work. They would require less to keep them in repair than do the dirt roads. They would make it easier for a team to pull several tons over their smooth surface than to draw a wagon through the mud. They would afford ready communica tion with the outside world at all sea sons of the year. They would save the farmer many vexatious ami nervous strains. They would practically shorten the distance to the local market. They would increase the demand for country and suburban property. HEKMl'DA GRASS. A farmer who has had years of expe Fence with Bermuda says: "1 would not give Bermuda for all the other grasses grown m tbe south, and I have never failed to eet rid of it when I wished.” Hi plan of exterminating it is ns follows: Plow deep and harrow thoroughly do. in the spring and as early as it will plant speckled peas broadcast, plow in lightly and roll with a heavy roller. When peas begin to ripen gather enough to reseeu; then mow. Plow up immedi ately, prepare well, and sow again. Mow the second crop as late as possible to es cape frost, and sow on the land oats, or turnips, if preferred, and the next spring no Bermuda grass can be found in the field. Roots of Bermuda may be s t at any time during the spring, but March is best. Sots put out now on lreshly plowed laud will take possession has been by next winter. After the land plowed lay off shallow furrows and drop the sets, or piecies of the sod. every two hesitate about trying a crop of Bermuda hay. Those who have done so are su perlative in its uraise. If the fail sown grain hi* a YELLOW, sickly appearance, the indication iB that nitrogen is needed, moais.^O sulphate 1»f**»in* or 75 pounds to the sers.
