THE MONITOR.
\Vf li.i'J thought that tli'j party of
the tlnrl piri P-tty <l<ud ID this
county over since tin* !.i<~t <*!♦*<• tion, hut
we di'l not realize tbo awful deadnc-s of
their Heath nn* tl •* ■■ heard tho other <; <v
that they conk opiate putiilig out John
Dees lie o candidate for the legi .liitnre. I
Here's a shovel! I from the Cleve
land Progress, *‘i ay up in the moun
tains:”
“There ought to be n law requiring n
member of the legislature to come up to
an intellectual -taiidird of requirements, j
before lie is allowed to take his scat.
Take fur instance the member from away |
down in the wire-grass country, who !
last week introduced a bill for the re
peal of the Teacher#’ Institute law. In-;
stead of clogging legislation with his ig- j
tiorauce, he ought to boa cab driver, a
waiter at a restaurant, or at some other
like employment, where ho would ho in
his .jutive element,”
No, don't insist on such a qualifica
tion, brother, dear. Yotl might want to
go to the legislature sometime yourself,
youh now. Asthnhill to kill the Teachers'
Nnissarice is one full of wisdom and pa
triotiam, of course it must needs origi
nate “away down iri the wire grass," !
Wo apprehend it would trouble iln>
dear brother of the Progress to point
out any wise and good law that has been
passed within the lost decade by our leg
islature, that was not introduced by a
member from “way down in the wire
grass country” North Georgia talent is
too exclusively devoted to the gobbling
up of all the cilices in the state, to orig
inate any wise legislation.
THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
A bill baa been introduced in the leg
islature to establish tl.o Australian ballot
system in Georgia. Gen Phil Cook,
whose head is mighty level, speaking of
thii proposed change said:
“Why Georgia's nres'>ut election laws
are ns good as there are on earth, and I
don't see the necessity of such a change.
The Australian ballot system will cost
from $2,000 to $7,000 per comity more
than the present law does, mid i. cannot
for the life of me see where anything
would bo uooomplisliod by the change.”
Like Gen Cook, wo cannot see the
necessity of any change in our election j
laws that will cost the people of the I
state the sum of at least half a million
of dollars. Wo have helped to hold and
couaolidiito all the elections ttmt have
been held in this county for several
years, and we never have seen any fraud
or nnfiiirness itt our present system, or
the mailer of its execution.
COURT HOUSE BONDS.
We would enll attention to the adver
tisement of tho Connty Commissioners
in today's issue of tho .Monitor, order- ,
ing nu election for bonds to build » new
court house on the 18th of next mouth.
The time is short and tho matter is ini
poitHiit, but we suppose no one will
peed much time to make up bis mind on
the subject. It seems to us that there
can be but one opinion on it, and that
every voter who lias the interest of his
county at heart will make a point to torn
out < ii that day and oust his vote in fav
or of bends. A new court house lias
pot to be built. It is a sheer necessity.
The old one we have is dangerous to
human life. The times are too hard to
raise the money at once by taxation. |
Bonds are the only alternative. Tin* |
building will be for tho use of tho fa-!
lure generation, us well as tho present, i
We should think mighty little of poster- i
ity, if we b< hi ved she would not bo wil
ling toooutribute ber share to the build
ing of a court house which will be as
much for her use to for ours. We can- 1
not afford to pay for the court house
now. Therefore let us vote for bouds. I
ABOUT CRANKS.
Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago, ;
was assassinated by a crank, they ray.
who is net lum'dly responsible for Ins
crime Well lie may not l»e responsible
and it may not be iu line with good law
or good morals to have him hung for it,
Ktill, the stern facts are that the world
I as been deprived el a mighty good and
u tolnl ettirou, by tho hand au<l at the
whim, of one whose value to the world
:a in fit- ly less than nothing. And wo
cannot restrain tho thought it would
have beau a great blessing to humanity
if to* could have been hung before he
committed this deed.
We vie uot kuow but tb it it ought ti j
be a crime nnnishablo with death to l«o

A plain old farmer of Sumter county

THOSE INGOTS OF GOLD.
One day recently, when tho exporta
! tiou of gold was at its height and the
papers of the laud were tilled each day
! with the recorded “ilight of eagles
abroad," a large two-horse truck drew
up before tho suhtreusury iu Wall
; street.
Banking up to the curb, » number of
! ordinary laborers began carelessly to nu
h<ad a quantity of reddish-brown metal
slabs, with which the vehicle was bur
jilened. Immediately a crowd gathered
aud watched the progress of the metal
troin the truck up the alleyway which
1 separates ‘.lie subtreasury from the Uni
ted States assay ollioe.
“See those iugots of gold," remarked
a down-town merchant to a New York
Herald man iu pussiug.
“The bulliou must be coming our
way,” said the other, aud the two men
paused with the crowd to watch the la
belers at their work. Others joined the
Huong, aud many were the comiututs
regarding the integrity of humble work
men aud the prospective value of the
load. It was considerable, and one
statistician estimated that there was at
, least one million dollars' worth of metal
opeulv displayed on the street.
“Iu no other 00110 try," said he,
“could this be done. In Eugland and
tin countries of continental Europe, a
regimeut of soldiers would bo ordered
out to protect so great a value."
The crowd listened to him spellbound;
aud invariably tbanked God that they
were bora iu a free country aud w here
there was no show of authority—all ex
cept a policemau, who, walking up to
the throng, which by that time must
have numbered one hundred, said;
“Come, now move along. Don’t
block the way. Did you never see men
working before?”
The crowd moved away slowly. Those
who p.t—od by the front of the truck
noticed the words painted on the dash
board, “Furnace Supplies." All elo
quence ha<l been wasted. The metal
was cot gold, bnt a sulmtanoe for a new
< liniug in the furauce of the assay office.
THE OLD CITY OF J>AMaBUU.t.
A recent work on sanitary engineering
says that Damascus pose esses iu all pro a
bility the oldest wuterw oi ks in the world.
The city itself is the rnt st ancient of exist
ing cities having seen the rise and fall of
the Greek and Roman empires, of Bab
ylon, Nineveh, Palnjyra and lerusaleca.
When taken by tine Saracens from the
Homans, tbe wate.r works already existed,
und it is probable that the latter con
structed the worl.s which still exist aud
supply the town. Damascus lies iu a
valley on tbe river Albaua, which flows
from the Lebanon bills uud is lost in the
desert to tbe -east of the town. In spite
of a copious nupply of excellent water,
Demascus has had no immunity from
epidemics, owing to the fact that the
double canalization for water supply and
drainage, being more or less leaky, sat
urated the soil aud raised the spring lev
el nearly to tbe surface, aud the sewers
are rarely if ever cleaned, are not sys
Lmatically ventilated, and they pass
under nriany of the houses. It is uot
surprising, therefore, that Damascus is
uud always was nn insalubrious town.

Spraying for Blight.
The following interesting matter should
have appeared in our last report, but
was omitted on account of the unusual
amount of matter before us:
FOR THE APPLE.
Spray for the destruction of the spores
of the apple scab and leaf blight, with
sulphate of copper—blue vitriol —one
pound to 25 gallons of water or sulphate
of iron—copperas—one pound to two
gallons water.
For destruction of the tent caterpillar,
canker worm and bud moth, use the
Bordeax mixture, one-half strength with
Paris green, one pound to 150 gallons
just before the blossoms unfold, and for
the same and the codling moth as soon
as the petals have fallen.
Make a third application of the Bor
deaux mixture and Paris green in about
two weeks from the time the petals fall,
should there have been heavy rains since
the lust application, then use the ammo
niacal carbonate of copper one pound to
60 gallons of water at intervals of from
two to four weeks, according to the
weather, until the middle of August.
We would recommend the trial of sul
phate of copper, one pound to 500 and
800 gallons of water after the middle of
June. Should no rain occur after the
use of any fungicide or insecticide, no
further application need bo made until
it does rain; but if the interval has been
long, spraying should immediately fol
low a heavy rain.
FOR THE PEAR.
For the pear scab leaf blight, and
sucking of the fruit and coddling moth,
the same treatment should be given as
for the apple, except that no Paris green
need be used until after the petals have
fallen, and only two applications of that
need be made.
If the poar tree psylla should appear,
spray the trees thoroughly with kerosene
emulsion, one part to twenty parts water.
FOR THE PLUM.
We would advise the same treatment
as given to the apple and pear, for the
I plum leaf blight, black wart and the
I fruit rot. For the plum curculio use
the Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength,
with Paris green one pound to 200 gal
| lons. (One application of ‘he ammoni
! acal carbonate of copper should be made
| after the middle of August, to prevent
I the rotting of the fruit and the leaf
; blight.
FOR THE PEACH.
To destroy the plum curculio, spray
; with the Bordeaux mixtuie, one-fourth
j strength, and Paris green one puund to
| 200 gallons. For the fruit rot, spray
j with the ammoniacal carbonate of eop
j per, one pound to 50 gallons of water.
■ Try the sulphate of copper, one pound
to 100 gallons of water lor the fruit rot.
full THE URAPK.
Spray with the concentrated solution
of sulphate or copper every part of the
! vines tuid trellis before the buds unfold.
i Just before the blossom buds unfold,
spray with the Bordeaux mixture, one
halt strength, with Paris green, one
pound to 100 gallons. As soon as the
petals have fallen, spray again with the
same; then at intervals of about two
weeks use the aiumouiacal carbonate of
copper, one pound to 25 gallons. Try
the sulphate of copper, one pound to 500
and 700 gallons of water at the same in
tervals.
FOR RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY.
For the anthracnose of the blackcaps
i and the yellow rust of the blackberry,
; use the concentrated solution of sulphate
jof copper before the buds open. Then
spray with the Bordeaux mixture oue
half strength, or the ammoniacal car
bonate of copper before the blossom buds
unfold, and two or three times alter th
fruit has been gathered, at intervals of
two or three weeks. The first disease
attacks the canes principally, and more
attention in spraying should be given to
them than to the leaves.
FOR THE STRAWBERRY.
Spray with the Bordeaux mixture,
one-lialf strength and Paris green one
j pound to 100 gallons for the leaf blight
and the •‘spotted paria,” as soon as
growth begins in the spring. Just be
fore the blossoms open use the Bordeaux
mixture s;une strength, hut no Paris
green. After the fruit has been gath
ered Paris green and the Bordeaux mixt
ure should be used if the bed or field is
to be carried through another season.
FOR THE POTATO.
As soon as the larva; of the potato
beetle begin to appear, spray with the
Bordeaux mixture, one-half strenght,
and Paris green one pound to 100 gal
lons. Use the same mixture as often a
they appear in sufficient numbers to be
Injurious. If the weather l>e warm and
moist, applications should male at
intervals of from one to three weeks
after the vim's have blossomed, of the
Bordeaux mixture, one-half strength or
the ammoniacal carbonate of copper,
one pound to gallons of water, even
,if there are no larvae present. The sul
uhate of copper one jx'uud to 500 gal
lons should also be tried on a small scale
to test its value.
STRAWBERRIES.
Will you please tell me how to make
a strawberry bed ? H. L. 1..
Marietta, t ia.
* in mufi.nflj a strawtterry Lea yuii
should first select soil as near as possible
adapted to the plant. Select rich, well
drained moist land, though if unable to
obtain to this by a liberal use of manure
you will be able to secure good crops.
PREPARATION.
Thorough preparation is essential to a
numerative crop. Subsoil your land to
the deptd of 14 inches, and pulverize
the soil thoroughly by harrowing until
in a perfect condition
MANURING.
On the subject of manuring the direc
tor of the experiment station says:
“Well rotted stable manure and wood
ashes, if applied liberally, will in any
soil result in increased yield. Such ma
nures ought to be broadcasted and well
incorporated into the soil. Commercial
fertilizers, bone dust and superphosphate
with potash, salts and cottonseed meal
or crushed cottonseed are highly recom
mended. Bonedust mixture with wood
ashes or muriate of potash instead,
should be used at the rate of at least
one-half ton of the former and <SO to 40
bushels of the ashes, or 250 pounds of
muriate of potash instead. A good fer
tilizer which has given excellent results
at the station, may lie mixed at home by
using at the rate peroereof 1,000 pounds
acid phosphate, 250 pounds muriate of
potash and 500 pounds of cotton seed
meal, this might he supplemented early
in spring with top dressing of 200 pounds
of muriate of soda per acre.
“In our experiments we have gener
ally attained better results from chemi
cal fertilizers than from stable manure.
The latter is too stimulating and heat
ing in its character, producing a rank
growth of leaves and runners at the ex
pense of the fruit, while in case of
drouth the plant will suffer and often
die. Strawberries require a cool, moist
soil; therefore, any heating manures
must be avoided. The fertilizer experi
ment at the station the last season point
in the same direction, highly annno
niated fertilizers produce increase foli
age and runners, hut when the fruiting
season began we were disappointed in
the promise. We also have observed
that we obtain finer, firmer, more highly
colored and better flavored berries from
a fertilizer containing a smaller percent
age of nitrogenous matter.
“We can safely conclude that it is
within our ability, to a certain extent,
to force the growth of our plants in a
certain direction by using the proper
fertilizer materials. But we must im
press the cultivator again with the
necessity of supplying a very liberal
amount of plant food if a large crop and
large berries is to be the result of our
endeavors. The expense of labor in cul
tivating plants, etc., is the same on a
highly as a poorly cultivated soil, ami as
cultivation is the only source of expense
after the bed is established, our failure
or success hinges on a liberal supply of
plant food.
MULTCHIXG.
“The object of multching is some
what different m colder countries than
in our latitude. There the plants are
thus protected from severe freezing and
repeated thawing in winter. In our lat
itude we multch to protect our plants
from the injurious effect of the hot suu,
and to keep the ground moist.”
METHOD OF PLANTING.
In regard to planting there are two
methods—the hill and matted row sys
tem. For the best results, we avise
the former system, which occasions
larger results are obtained from the lat
ter. nevertheless more perfect fruit and
plants are developed under the former,
and the crop is more assured. Plant 12
to 15 inches apart in rows three feet,
and prevent spreading by keeping the
runners down.
This article is necessarily limited, and
those who desire to engage in strawberry
culture as an.industry we would advise
the purchase of a good work on the sub
ject. The work of the station can be
secured free by addressing R. J. Red
ding. Director. Experiment, Ga., and re
questing Bolleton, 15.
HORN FLY.
We have a small fly in this county
which worries the cattle very much.
Can you give me a remedy for them V
H. I. T.
In the .October report of ’92 and the
July report of this year you will find a
description of this fly, which is the horn
fly, also remedies. The following from
the Breeders' Gazette contains further
information on the subject:
“They worry cattle until they become
thin and weak and take special delight
in massing by thousands and thousands
all over the entire body of weak and de
fenseless animals, as these animals be
come powerless to oppose them. And in
another way they wiil (or may) cause the
death of thousands of stock. It is in
this way : They eat or suck blood about
in spots on cattle—on the neck, dewlap,
back of the shoulder blades and under
the belly of the animals. The spots
when first discernible have a dry appear
ance of the cuticle, with the hair eaten
off short and stubby close to the skin, as
if burned off. These spots may be about
the size of a nickel or as large as a dol
lar, but more oftener of the smaller or
intermediate size. The cuticle is next
eaten or dissolved away, and a raw,
bloody sore results, which the pest con
tinues to molest.”
One breeder has applied the following
mixture to the pests, and finds it knocks
them every time :
“Take kerosene, spirits of turpentine,
sulphur and crys.dic ointment and mix
them well and rub or sprinkle it on the
cows. I used it four weeks ago. and the
fi’es have not bothered the cows since.”
