The Michigan station has devoted much attention to the testing of straw berries, new and old, through a num ber of seasons. In strawberry notes for 1901 it reports that several varie ties which have stood at the head of the list for a number of years still maintain their position. Excelsior, other, probably a greater prevalence tlie smut yeast spores in later summer, later growing parts—for example, tas sels, brace roots, ears and sucker shoots—are perhaps more often attack ed by the smut. The smut spores may be sentfer- ed in manure if smutted fodder is used, and it seems well prov- ed that manured land yields more smutted corn than un manur ed. The same may be true of clover sod as compared with corn stubbie. The reason ; would exist iu the decayed vegetable ! matter, wherein the secondary yeast spores of the smut may grow and then ma*v be carried to the corn which be comes thus affected. Treatment of seed corn does not apparently reduce the amount of smut. Cutting and burning the smut boils before they have burst open would be useful. It is worth while to fight smut by all avail able means. So advises the Ohio sta tion. CORN SMUT. GREENVILLE. GLEN MARY. GANDY. MARSHALL. Haverlaud, Warfield, Clyde, Bubach aud Brandywine can be relied upon to give good crops under fairly favorable conditions, although the best results cannot be secured with tiro last three varieties except in rich, moist soils. Glen Mary, William Belt, Marshall and Nick Olimer also are quite satisfactory under high culture. Sample in plant aud fruit compares well with any other variety. Morgan, Ponderosa, Ridgeway and Ruby have also been quite satisfactory. Of the newer sorts that fruited in 1900 H. and II., Echo, Emma. Gamage, Gladstone, Stouffer, Johnson Early and Wool! are most promising. Particularizing in regard to some of the varieties, the station says: Greenville.—Plants good in vigor of growth and productiveness. Berries are large in size, but not of sufficient firmness. In other points is very good. Gandy.—Vines are fairly vigorous and hardy. Fruit is large, of high quality and firmness. Season late. Only moderately productive, but the variety holds out well. Glen Mary.—Plants of good growth and healthy. Fruit is borne in abun dance, is of large size, of good quality and firmness. One of the best market varieties under high culture. Marshall.—This variety is a strong grower and quite prolific. Berries large, i dark red and uniform. Quality and j texture are very good. Except on strong | soil the foliage is slightly subject to i blight. This is one of the best large I berries upon moist, rich soils. Cotton Growers Proticliye Association. i The citizens of Burke county who are interested in the price of cotton are respectfully requested to meet iu the court house immediately aft er the noon adjournment of the court on Monday the first day of court, October 7ih, for the purpose : of organizing a branch of the ; “Cotton Growers Protective Asso | ciation.” an organiz ition a'ready in existence in Geotgia, Missisfip pi, Texas and other cotton grow ing stares.

Milk, cream aud butter are of exceeding perishable na tures, and, like all quick decaying ar ticles of food, they are hotbeds for breeding all kinds of destructive bac teria. The only, way to fight this ene my is by celerity of action, flurry tho milk from tlie cow and out of tin? stable. Hurry the cream from the milk and spare as little time as possi ble in getting the cream into the churn and the butter to the customer. To carry out this idea clean the stable, clean the cow, milk into covered pails, use a separator, use a cream starter, use a swing churn and start the butter to the customer the night of the day it is made. This, says L. S. Hardin in Home and Farm, is a strict business principle aud should be pushed for ail it is worth, and that means large profits for the trouble taken, for it may lie safely stated that you will lose 2 to 3 cents a pouud on your butter for every day you linger past tlie 3(1 hours necessary to carry out the plan outlined above. His I’rnyer. The little sou cf ;::i Episcopal clergy man of Los Angeles was visiting with his mother a Canadian city, where the two attended services at a certain church. It is the custom in that church for the clergyman aud congregation to bow in silent prayer for a minute or two just before the sermon begins. It was a new proceeding to the child, for he was not accustomed to seeing this done in his father's church, but t lie little chap bravely and reverently did his part. After the service was over the clergy man, one of the old evangelical school, who had noticed the reverence and ap parent devotion of the child, spoke to him and commended his reverence with an affectionate pat on the head. “It was very pleasing,” he remarked to a group of bystanders, “to see this little fellow so deeply engaged in earnest prayer just before I began my sermon. What prayer did you offer to the throue of grace, my little boy?” All uucouscious of the effect it pro- ! duced, the little fellow candidly and | instantly replied: “I said: ‘Now I lay i me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my ' soul to keep.’ San Fraucisco Argo- i uaut. the best results as regards sugar con tent, while striped first year stubble has given the largest yield in tonnage. First year stubble leads in tonnage, followed by second year stubble. It is concluded that good stubble cane is fully as good as, if not the su perior of, plant cane for seed. One-sixth of the entire crop of cane in the state is used for planting, ac cording to estimates made. Chemical analyses of cane grown continuously from tops, middles and butts show but little difference as re gards the value of the different por tions of the cane. In trials to determine the influence of planting large, medium and small canes, selected continuously from plantings of large, medium and small canes respec tively, the results show diminished yields from using small, inferior stocks, and it is believed to be most profitable to plant large and vigorous cane for seed. The roots and stubble of cane are usually left in tlie soil, but it is a com mon practice in Louisiana to burn the tops and leaves. A ton of purple cane as grown in Louisiana, with its accom panying trash, burned in the field will thus remove 2.98 pounds of nitrogen. 1.04 pounds cf phosphoric acid, 1.22 pounds of potash and .52 pounds of lime. A ton of striped cane under sim ilar conditions will remove 2.3S pounds of nitrogen, 1.30 pounds of pliospko'ric acid, 2.34 pounds of potash and .58 pounds of lime. In fertilizing experiments nitrogen not to exceed 48 pounds per acre has been found profitable when it was used in combination with phosphoric acid and potash. Sulphate of ammonia was found to be best form of nitrogen, with cottonseed meal a close second, fol lowed by fish scrap, nitrate of soda and tankage, in the order named. The increased cost of sulphate of ammonia in tlie local market militates against its use as compared with the cheaper forms. THE COS LETTUCES. Crisp, Cool and Refreshing During the Summer Months. The Cos or “celery” varieties of let tuce resist warm weather well and are highly esteemed for their crisp, brittle leaves and cool, refreshing flavor dur ing tlie hot summer mouths. The Paris White Cos is grown all over the world and is generally con ceded to be the finest of all the Cos sorts. The surface of the outer leaves is a little raised between tlie larger nerves, PARIS WHITE COS LETTUCE. [Plant twelve indies across.] the surface of the iuuer leaves consid erably folded. The heads are 8 to 12 inches high, rounded at the ends, firm and weigh from 12 to 24 ounces each. In quality this variety is hardly sur passed by any kind of lettuce. It is customary to tie tlie leaves together when the heads are forming, although when tlie plants are well grown this is not always necessary. Other varieties closely resembling the above and which appear to be hardly distinct from it are the Trianon Cos and the Faris Self Folding Cos. The White Heart and Dwarf White Heart, if distinct varieties, differ but little from the Paris White Cos and are in ferior to it. The Paris Green Cos is a little deeper green than the Paris White and the plant not quite so large, but matures a few days earlier. Balloon Cos has leafy plants and the heads not very firm even when tied. Ground Cos is a dwarf variety, inter mediate between Paris White and As paragus Cos. Asparagus Cos has little value as a garden esculent, although some people like the fleshy midribs, which are tender, juicy aud peculiarly pleasiug to the taste if gathered just before tlie blossom stalks show iu the center of the plants. Smat on Corn. Corn smut may be propagated by • smutty seed, although much more like ly to be carried by the transportation of the yeast spores of this smut fungus, which may alight upon any young growing part aud produce smut infec tion. From this reason and from an- m ' " Birds' Eks'3 Superstitions. The okl. wrinkled, dusky aunties of the south tell children: “Do not eat tiie bluebirds’ eggs. They make you love to wander.” They believe that the pale blue eggs of that beautiful creature, “that violet of the air,” that bird with “sky tinge on his back, earth tinge on his breast,” will make the greedy nest robber restless as long as lie lives. No place, however enticing, can hold tlie being who has once tasted a bluebird’s egg- He who eats a mocking bird’s egg will be compelled to “tell all lie knows.” The one who robs a kilidee’s nest and eats its eggs will surely break an arm. He who eats a dove’s egg will be fol lowed by bad luck, while the egg cf any bird of yellow plumage will be sure to cause a fever, and he who eats an owl’s egg will be always shrieking. The eat er of a crow’s egg will always, as old aunties say, “be gwine on foolish like a crow does go on, ‘Ha, ha, ha!’ But a partridge’s egg,” they declare, “du des make you thrive an’ grow fas’. Dey is de oulies’ sort er birds’ eggs dat you kin eat widout findin’ ’em danger- some.” — When you visit Augusta cal! on Lewis J. Schaui.

Professor Blum of the Louisiana ex periment station lias made tests and analyses from which the conclusion is drawn that sugar cane grown on the yellow sandy pine lands of Georgia and North Carolina is fully the equal iu sugar content of the best grown any where aud superior to Louisiana caue In tlie proportion of 1G per cent to 12 per cent. Agricultural Notes. Kansas wheat growers are to have seed of the hard, red, Russian or Tur key wheat direct from the Crimea. It Is imported through the State Millers’ and State Grain Dealers’ associations and will be distributed after the mid dle of July. Sugar beets should not be permitted to dry out after being dug, as there is always a loss of sugar. Hessian fly, the bane of wheat grow ers in the older states, appears to be going westward. Secretary Coburn of Kansas is credited with the advice to burn the wheat stubble as soon as the wheat is removed from the field. following amusing account of the or igin of the word “cockney:” “A cock ney, or eockny, applied only to one born within the sound of the Bow bells— that Is, within the city of London— whic-he terme came first out of the fol lowing tale: “A citizen’s sonne, riding with his fa ther cut of London into the country, and being a novice and merely ignorant of how corne and catel do increase, asked when he heard a horse neigh what the horse dide.

At the close of some sports that were being held at a country village one of the competitors, coming across the lo cal policeman, inquired when the thea ter opened. “We have no theater here,” said the policeman. “Well, the music hall, then?” “No; nothing of that kind here.” “Have you no evening amusement at all?” asked the stranger. “Oh, yes,” said the policeman, rising to tlie occasion. “If you wait till 9 o’clock, you’ll see them shunting the goods train.”—Loudon Spare Moments.
