MERRY MAKERS.
General Joe Wheeler Will Pariicipate in
These Exercises.
Oar correspondent m Augusts
writes: Few people outside of Au-
na-la realize the rnaguitude of the
coiiiiuS ^ rc -’ e street attractions which
(he Merry Maker.-)’ Association will
furnish the public during the week
L .omineneing April 23J to 2Sth in
clusive. For several years past this
( ijiv has put on the fiuest attrac
tions during their gala week, hui
the-how of this year will surpass
S 1 past efforts n every particular.
A brief outline of the attractions
are the free performances on four
large platforms to be erected on
Broad street -where the finest artist
that money and experience can pro
cure. The amusement committee
are now in correspondence with
Theatrical managers of the east
who are booking tneir best attrac
tions for Augusta. Aside from this
one of the highest class midways
will be in full blast on Broad street.
Special attention is called to the
fact that the association will allow
nothing that will be objectionable
to the most fastidious, to be pre
sented.
The display of fire works given
last year were superb but the woro
does not express the magnitude aud
beauty of this feature of this year’s
snow. Exactly twice the amoum
of money expeuded for this attrac
tion last year w11! be spent this sea
son.
The Floral parade will surpass
any like attraction given in the
Southern states. The association
have offered exceedingly handsome
prizes for the best decorated vehicle
of all varieties and in ibis manner
furnish all those desiring to enter
mto the parade an incentive to
spend both time and money to make
their vehicle superb. Augusta is
noted the world over for her beau-
tilul women, therefore, what could
present a more beautiful spectacle
tiian a parade nearly a mile in
length and each vehicle occupied
by one or more of our beautiful wo
men ?
The large number of laboriug
people ot tiiis section have siguifieu
their willingness aud desire to co
operate with the Merry Makers and
to assure the success of “Industrial
l)ay” the services of six thousand
men. women and children have
been offered. In this grand parade
a majority of the merchants win
have very attractive floats thereby
lurnishing the snow with a grand
carnival effect.
tieu. Joe Wheeler, the most ad
mired man of the South and the
hero of many wars has been extend-
eu an invitation to visit this city
and participate with the Merry
Makers on military day. On this
day it is the desire of the associa
tion to have many of the state
troops to participate in the parade.
At a meeting held at the Augusta
Exchange on Thursday the Sth, ol
the merchants the Savannah river
improvement company was lormtd
The object oi tins organization is to
improve the Savannah river as tire
name implies. The organization
will extenu an invitation to the res
idents of the Savannah river valley
and bring hundreds of people heie
to show them tiie many auvantage>
which this city nas over any other
Southern city. Every railroad en
tenng the city has signified its in
tention of putting on the lowest
possible rates ior this occasion and
aiding the Merry Makers in every
possible way.
The recent disastrous fires have
not materially affected the accomo
dations of the city. Besides the
several large hotels that are in the
city, there are many commodious
boarding houses and many families
have signified their willinguess to
take boarders for this occasion. The
Merry Makers have-provided a bu
reau of iuiormation for the accomo
dation ot their guests, where those
desiring to engage board or obtain
any other mformatioo concerning
the ciiy wiil be furnished free of
charge.
Merry Makers headquarters are
in the Arcade Alley, the Herald’s
did business office, between 7th and
Mh streets. Gail at the office and
make your self at home.
Separate and distinct from the
Merry Makers the Confederate
Veterans will run a fair which will
be centrally located. Meals will be
served at a nominal price, a check
room will be attached and in every
way the old Veterans will endeavor
io please their guests.

The Other SI«le of Broom Corn.
As the phenomenal price of broom
corn will attract many to enter into
this industry, it may be well to recall
some of the less roseate facts about it.
For instance, that it is a crop requiring
special knowledge and tools, is trou
blesome and expensive to harvest and
thrash, precarious because quickly
damaged by unfavorable weather and
at times very low in price.

INDOOR WINTER WORK.
ft. Potato Planter—Cost $1.50 and
Three Days’ Time—How It Oiserates.
The potato planter shown in the cut
has been in use in this neighborhood
for three years, says a Rural New
Yorker correspondent. It cost me $1.50
and three days’ time and works as sat
isfactorily as a $50 or $00 machine. An
old mowing machine frame and wheels
from the fence corner of one neighbor,
a spring seat, a lifting lever and sever
al old castings from a discarded binder
of another, a pair of billers from an old
wooden frame, live tooth cultivator, a
new shovel plow’ point from the store,
some nails, bolts aud a little old lumber
were the materials.
The wheels are placed as far apart
as 1 desired the rows of potatoes to be,
so as to use the wheel mark for a
guide, avoiding the use of a marker.

HOMEMADE POTATO PLANTER.
The shovel plow is bolted to a solid 3
by 3 piece about two feet long, the oth
er end of which is placed solidly
against the under side of the tongue
and hinged so that it can be raised and
lowered by a lever to which the point
is attached by a chain. The lever is
shown just in front of the wheel and
near the whiffletrees. A rude box of
three or four bushels’ capacity is built
between and over the wheels, slanting
toward the seat, so that, as the pota
toes are used out of the rear end, those
remaining will roll toward the opera
tor, always keeping within his easy
reach. A spout or tube four or five
inches square leads from the rear of
the box to the furrow behind the plow-.
The operator sits at his ease on the
spring seat, picking up the potatoes
and dropping them at regular inteiwals
into the spout. I find it works better
to take only one piece in the hand at a
time, dropping in the spout with one
hand wTiile reaching after a seed piece
with the other. The spout is followed
by the coverers, which leave the
ground slightly ridged over the seed.
A cross harrowing just before the
sprouts begin to show' leaves the
ground level and in fine condition.
The front end of the frame to which
the coverers are attached is hinged to
the two rear upright pieces which sup
port the box. A lever is beside the
seat to raise and lower the coverers at
the end of the rows. The coverer frame
should be bung low at the front end,
and tlie billers must be set just the
right distance apart and at just the
right angle.
A little trouble arose at first in this
respect. One seed piece when drop
ped would stop just where it first
touched tlie ground and tlie next one
might roll or jump ahead a foot or
more, thus making them lie at un
equal distances when dropped evenly
in point of time. This was overcome
by hailing to the front and sides of the
lower end of the spout a piece of an
old rubber bootleg which touched the
bottom of the furrow. Then the seed
had to stay right whore it dropped.
A man to drive the team and to raise
and lower the plow at the ends, anoth
er man to feed the machine and op
erate the lever which controls the cov
erers and a team which walks not too
rapidly can mark, furrow, drop and
cover five or six acres in a day. The
machine does not work satisfactorily
on hilly land. It will work up or down
the hill all right, but going sidewise it
is inclined to slide.
Automatic Rabbit Trap.
The sketch of an automatic rabbit
trap is furnished' to the Iowa Home-
stead by a correspondent, who says:
A RABBIT TRAP.
“It is a rapid firing gun and catches
both going and coming and always re
sets itself. A hole should be dug in
the ground to receive a box or barrel
and deep enough so the top is just even
with the surface of the ground. The
trap is then placed on the box with
the fall doors directly over it. Cover
the sides of the box on each side of
the trap and throw a few weeds or
brush over it all, leaving the ends of
the trap uncovered, and your work is
complete. No bait is required. The
rabbits are attracted by the brush
heap, and when once there they see
the opening and try to pass through it
and are trapped. To make the trap
take two boards 1 by 8, 3% or four feet
long, for the sides and two boards 1 by
4, 4 feet long, for tbe top and bot
tom. The top and sidfes should be nail
ed together first, then saw the bot
tom board, leaving tbe fall doors each
about a foot long. Do not saw square
across, but leave a bevel, so that the
doors will catch when they fall back
In place.”

PEANUTS FOR PLANTING.
I'nslielled Xnis Treated So TBat|
They Make a Good Stand.
One of tbe expenses in planting large!
areas to peanuts is the shelling of the;
nuts. The Arkansas station has ex
perimented for the purpose of estab
lishing some plan by which unshelled
nuts will produce equally good re
sults with shelled seed.
On Jan. 1 a small quantity of nuts
was put in a sack aud immersed in
water for 12 hours to thoroughly wet
the hulls. Then the sack was put in
the earth below freezing. On Feb. 1,
March 1 and April i sacks of nuts
were similarly treated. These four
sacks of nuts remained in the earth
until April 23, when they were taken
up and planted without being shelled.
The object of this treatment before
planting was to soften tbe hulls so
that the voting plants could more
easily escape when the nuts were
planted. On the same date plantings
were made of shelled nuts and of nuts
dry and unshelled and also of nuts
with pods broken into two parts. The
Spanish peanut grows two peas in a
pod and therefore can be easily bro
ken between the peas.
This trial, which is a single one and
unrepeated, makes it appear that nuts
planted in broken pods make as good
stand as shelled nuts aud that those,
put in the earth April 1, 23 days be
fore planting, made practically as good
stand. The dry nuts shelled at plant
ing came to a perfect stand about sev
en days before those two plantings. It
is concluded that nuts after having
been thoroughly wet and then kept
moist for three to five days before
planting will produce a good stand;
that a longer time than three weeks
is a disadvantage. The per cent of a
perfect stand secured from planting
peanuts treated in the different ways
described is exhibited in the subjoined
table:
Nuts shelled at planting, dry nuts 94.8
Nuts broken into two parts, dry nuts 95.1
Nuts dry and unshelled 75.1
Nuts unsheiled, put in earth April 1 92.5
Nuts unshelled, put in earth March 1 55.5
Nuts unsheiled, put in earth Feb. 1 37.7
Nuts unsheiled, put in earth Jan. 1 None
Winter Mnslcmelons.
Luscious cantaloupes in midwinter
are a good deal of an innovation, but it
seems quite probable that they will
become a feature of tbe market. For
WINTER MTJSKMELOX GROWN IN UTAH,
some years the department of agricul
ture has been interested in this type of
melon. Previous to the Spanish-Amer-
ican war seeds taken from melons
brought from Havana under the name
“Turkestan" were sent to California,
where they were reported as succeed
ing well in Los Angeles county.
Through Professor Hansen the govern
ment also imported from Khiva, Tur
kestan, the finest seed procurable and
distributed it to growers in the south
west and in Utah. According to men
tion going the rounds of the press, they
were a failure in the southwest, hue
have succeeded well in Utah. The
Utah melons average from 12 to 15
pounds and are of superior flavor.
They grow very much like other mel
ons, but when frost comes Jfley are
gathered and put in a cellawro ripen.
At the time of picking they have a
taste like cucumbers and reach their
full flavor about Jan. 1. In appearance
the melon is said to resemble very
much a small rattlesnake watermelon.
The meat is very solid, thick and edi
ble to the rind and the flavor very
spicy and delicious.
According to official report, three of
the largest melons imported for seed
weighed up to 30 pounds. The flesh is
white and, as is shown in the illustra
tion, of good thickness.
Soils of the Pecos Valley, New Mex
ico.
Circular No. 3 of the division of!
soils, department of agriculture, con-;
cerns the soils of the irrigated districts
of the Pecos valley, N. M., the extent
of and damage from alkali and seep
ing waters and methods for prevention
of further damage and reclamation of
land already abandoned.
Brief Mention.
The subtropical garden of the de
partment of agriculture, located in
Florida, is used in making preliminary
tests of hybrid fruits and new import
ed plants. This garden has hybrid'
citrous, orange, lemon, lime and guavaj
trees and a large number of seedlings.'
Pineapple plants and imported French
grapes are being tested with a view to
determine their value for the southern
states.
It is expected that experiments willj
soon be made in Louisiana under thel
direction of the United States agricul- 1
tural department with a species of sug-j
ar cane grown in the upper Amazon!
regions, which is of great size and!
yields abundant quantities of sac
charine juice and needs renewal no
oftener than every 15 years.
Light soils would probably not be.
benefited by subsoiling for cotton, ac
cording to the Alabama station. If
subsoiling is practiced, it should be
done early enough in tbe winter to al
low tlie rains to settle the deeply stir
red soil before planting time.
The horticulturist of the Marylandi
station says emphatically that pure,
kerosene cannot be safely recommend-!
ed in that state as a spray for young!
and bearing fruit trees at any season'
of the year.
