. It is not lawful for one Senator to pro
voko a knock-down by calling another a !
liar on the floor of tho U S Senate; but
they flx it this way. In tho discussion I
of the Lodgo resolution concerning tho 1
Methodist Book Concern investigation, I
Senator Pasco of Florida said of Senator I
Chandler of Now Ilampahire, on Tuea- I
day of last week: “And wheu it was stat
ed yesterday by tha Senator from New i
Hampshire, that 1 was an ngont deoeiv- 1
tho Heuuto ho did himself groat injustice I
in Risking a statement that had so little 1
, foundation in it, a statement that was 1
actually free from the principle of truth.”
And instead of knookiog him down, the 1
Seuulor from Now Hampshire qnietly
hided his time, and when it camo, took
tho floor, aud among many other soft
tilings, said: "I am sorry I did not use
the right word, so'tlmt the Heuator from
Florida would not have found it nooes
sary to have told me that my statement
: was false, which was, of course, a very
, brave tiling to say, but after all, not po
lite, iu this body. Tho amenities of life
' should not be disregarded iu tho United
1 Htates Senate, and gentlemen iu this
body shonld not use language here that

And thu incident passed, aud nobody

ASLEEP IN JESUS.
Gently, sweetly, little Jack McLeod
fell asleep in the arms of Jesus, on the
15th of June 1898. He had been in fee
ble health for a long time, but not seri
onoly ill until two duys before the reaper
ungul Bummoued him to u better homo
beyond this vale of tears.
He has left a kind father, fond moth
er, brothers and sisters, and a host of
relatives to mourn bis going uwuy so
soon.
Words can convey but little comfort
to the sad imd crushed hearts of the pa
rents. Time alone, with soothing touch,
can lessen their bitter sorrow. But it is
well with the child; for Jesus has said.
Suffer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not, for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven.
A preciouß ono from us is gone;
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in onr homo
That never cud bo filled.
God, iu llis wisdom, has recalled
The boon His love had given;
Though tho body slumbers here
The soul is sufo iu Ueavea.

FORAGE CROPS THE
HOPE OF FARMERS
Best Means of Supplementing
Food Supplies.
NESBITT GIVES POINTERS
—
Acrlrultur.il Commissioner on the
Course to Pursue In View of the
High Wheat Prices and With the ;
Prospect of a Continuance of Such
Market Conditions.
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, June 1, 1898.
With wheat quoted at an almost un
precedented figure and prices of other
; food crops advancing, and with the
prospect of 6uch market conditions be
ing sustained for at least some months
to come, prudent farmers are now cast
about for practical means of supple- !
| menting their food supplies. There is |
no section of the world in which a j
greater variety of
FORAGE CROPS
may be grown than in the south, and as
a measure of safety it would be well for
Georgia farmers to put in such of these
. crops as our surroundings and opportu
nities render possible. First and fore
| most comes
FORAGE CORN AS A FODDER CROP OB FOR i
SILAOE.
As to the best methods of managing
this crop there are somewhat conflicting
opinions, but these result from a mis
apprehension rather than from any real
; difference in the proper plans for plant
ing, cultivating, etc. It depends upon
the purpose for which the crop is in- j
tended, as to which method should be j
adopted. If the crop is intended for
fodder, that is, to be cut and cured, the
object is to seonre a large yield of small
and medium sized stalks, having an
abundance of leaves and little grain.
The plant* may, therefore, be planted
in narrow rows and crowded in the drill.
In curing this crop the surplus moisture
is dried out and we have a nutritions |
foraga, which, supplemented with grain,
makes, a good and complete rat on. But
in planting corn for the silo, the object
is to secure a good yield of well de- j
valoped stalks, each one bearing at least
one well grown ear upon it The plants
mnst not be crowded too closely to
gether. The rows should be at least Bto
4 feet apart., and the plants should stand
from 18 to 80 Inches in the row. If the
: plants stand closer than this the stalks
do not have room to mature sufficiently
and tho consequence is watery stalks,
and the ears which form are not well
filled with grain. Silage mad* from
such corn as this is apt to be very unsat
isfactory—sour and innutritions. From
this explanation we see that fodder corn
should be crowded as close as the j
strength of the land will admit, while !
n corn crop intended for the silo should j
have sufficient distance to produce a I
heavy vield of stalks and ears suffi- 1
ciently matured to be cured into good, | j
sweet silage.

earn. Among the many advantages of
j this crop is the fact that it tan be sown
from May until July, and also that it
can be utilized as a three-fold food, for
man, for beast and for the land. No
matter in what way wc decide to use it
it will return with interest whatever
amount we have invested in it.
MILLET.
Millet also may be seeded at any time
from May to August, and though it re
quires richer land and more thorough
preparation than corn or peas, it is a
good investment where forage promises
to be short. One bushol of German
millet, sown on an acre of land, well
prepared and the seed harrowed in, will
make a heavy yield, and when cured at
the proper time, that is before the seeds
mature, will make a most acceptable ad
dition to our forage supply.
SORGHUM.
Sorghum is a crop which should find
a place on every Georgia farm. It is
not affected by drouth to the ruinous
degree that our corn crop often is, and
the stalk and the grain are both ex
cellent food for cattle and hogs, besides
whioh there is usually a good demand
for the syrup. With the improved sys
tem of evaporating, now in general use,
the syrup has bocome a desirable article
of food in most farm households. Dur
ing the hot season the man who is for
tunate enough to have a sorghum patch
is assured of green food for his stock
when every other crop is drying up,
while the cured fodder makes a nutri
tions and appetizing feed for the winter
months.
It is not too late to plant any of these
four crops—indeed, all may be planted
later than this date, and under favor
able conditions will be very satisfactory.
Though there are other crops, which
in time may supersede them, we would
advise, as we have, these four forage
crops of such well known value, and
with the cultivation of which we are so
thoroughly familiar, that we do not
venture, except byway of experiment
on a small scale, on the culture of new
and untried crops. It is well for each
farmer to givo his attention to these
new crops and to thoroughly satisfy
himself as to their merits before under
taking their culture to any large extent.
In these days, when inquiries are
constantly being received at this de
partment as to the value and efficiency
of certain insecticides, and when Paris
green is coming into such general use,
the following
CHEAP SUBSTITUTE FOR PARIS GREEN,
which has been thoroughly tested at

of service in reducing the co3t in cases
where large quantities are used.
White arsenic, in a soluble form, costs
about one-third as much as Paris
green, and unlike the latter gives no
trouble in the way of settling. Paris
green does not dissolve readily and needs
constant agitation to keep it from set
tling. Here is the formula:
Dissolve 2 pounds of commercial white
arsenic and 4 pounds of carbonate of
soda (washing soda) in 2 gallons of wa
ter and use lC; pints of this mixture to
60 gallons of Bordeaux mixture. This
will be found sufficient for any purpose
where a combination mixture for fun
gus and insect pests is required. As for
instance, potato blight (fungus), and
potato bugs (insect); apple scab (fun
gus), and apple worms (insect).
The easiest wav, says the bulletin, to
make the solutions is to put both the
whit* arsenic and the carbonate of soda i
