YACHTS IN CUP RACE
MAY BE FOLLOWED BY OCEAN
STEAMSHIP CITY OF SAVANNAH.
WAS AT TWO FORMER RACES
WHILE THE GRAND DI’CHESS AND
OWNED BY PLANT SYSTEM.
A*wor That Ship Will Attend Races
Current In New York—Beached
Savannah Yesterday on Ship** Ar
rival—Will Continue in Service
Until Hacea Are Over—Venae!
Slated to Come Off Line for Her
Annual Overhauling.
The City of Savannah, one of the
largest and speediest of the Ocean
Steamship Company's fleet, will follow
the races between Shamrock 111 and
the Reliance, or whatever boat the
Americans decide shall defend the cup
during the coming international races
for its possession.
This is the rumor that is current
around the New York offices of the
steamship company, and it reached Sa
vannah yesterday with the arrival of
the City of Savannah, though it is not
known to the agents of the ship in
this city, nor has it been officially an
nounced from the New York offices.
It is likely true, however, for the
Savannah is slated to come oft the line
within a few weeks, and after under
going an overhauling, would be in ex
cellent condition to follow the races
before resuming her schedule between
New York and this city. Be that as it
may. the rumor is accepted as official.
It is not exactly new work, either,
for the City of Savannah, under the
name of the Grand Duchess, and while
still the property of the Plant System,
for which she was built, was used as an
excursion steamer during both the last
two cup races. She is well adapted
for such use, as she is large and has
plenty of speed.
Such use would undoubtedly be very
profitable to the company, also, for on
a trip of this kind the ship can accom
modate more than 500 passengers, who.
at a rate of $5 apiece, a charge that ob
tained on former trips of this kind,
would yield a handsome revenue for a
single day’s work.
The present understanding of the
matter is that the ship will take out
such passengers on each day sched
uled for a race and that even though
fluky winds, or no winds at all may ex
tend the time of the races to a greater
length than is at present anticipated,
the ship will continue in the excursion
business until the three races, or as
many of them as may be necessary to
settle the ownership of the cup, are
finished.

MANY AT THE RESORTS
DESPITE THE WEATHER.
Showers and Heavy Clouds Didn't
Keep Crowds Away.
That Savannahians are brave was
shown yesterday by the crowds that
visited the resorts. While many ol
those who went to Tybee, Isle of Hope
and Thunderbolt were excursionists
the home folks were very much in evi
dence.
The weather was threatening during
the entire day and there were several
showers in the afternoon, but these
did not keep the people in doors. At
the Casino a large crowd heard an ex
cellent concert by the First Regiment
Band in the afternoon. In the even
ing there were two programmes and
quite a number was on hand for this
special attraction. A Punch and Judy
show will be the attraction the re
mainder of the week.
At Isle of Hope the crowd was also
large and at both places the restau
rants were liberally patronized. Bar
bee's “snoot the chute" worked like a
charm and was very popular. Hundreds
made trips on the gondola and the day
was a banner one at this resort de
spite the weather conditions.
At Tybee there was an unusually
large crowd and the 3:30 o'clock train ,
carried sixteen coaches. Although the
tide was low in the afternoon there j
were several hundred people in bath- I
ing. Two "beach boats" were very j
much in evidence and with a strong
breeze blowing they were propelled
without any difficulty. Excellent
musical programmes were carried out
at both Hotel Tybee anti Bohan's
South End pavilion.

There is nothing that so utterly dis

that a few doses of the right medicine
will put him on the high road to a com
plete recovery. Mr. Samuel Bayer of
Folsom, la., says: "After doctoring for
about twelve years and spending near
ly SSOO for medicine and doctors' fees. I
purchased for my wife a box of Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets,
which did her so much good that she
continued to use them and they have
done her more good than all the medi

improve the appetite, strengthen the
digestion and regulate the bowels. In

RELIGION AND SCIENCE
SEPARATE REALMS.
Point Mmle by Rev. Dr. W. W. Pill
son nt First Baptist Church.
The morning sermon in the First
Baptist Church was delivered yester
day by Rev. Dr. W. W. Pinson of
Columbus, who came to Savannah to
be present at the Wesley Bi-Centenary.
It was an able address, and was heard
by a large congregation. The text was
Romans 1:16. "For I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth; to the Jew first and
also to the Greek.”
The speaker's position was that the
teachings of the Bible can not be
judged from a scientific standpoint, be
cause while science deals with one kind
of truths, the teachings of the Bible
are in another realm. "There may be
many true things out of the Bible,”
the speaker said, "and to say as true
as the gospel means nothing more than
that anything that is true is as true as
the gospel.”
"Scientific truth has a right to assert
itself. I wouldn't set aside a truth
shown in nature's book for anything
in the Bible; when science shows there
are microbes in water I wouldn't try
to disprove it by quoting from Revela
tions, 'And he shewed me a pure river.'
These are truths that the gospel does
not deal with. Truth is truth and God
is honored by it whether it be written
in the stars, in the strata of the earth,
or in the study of the biologists.
"The gospel is truth in an entirely
different realm. The distance from the
earth to the sun is a scientific truth,
and appeals as such to the intellect
while the statement 'For God so loved
the world that he gave his only begot
ton Son, that whosoever believed In
him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life,' if true means a great deal
more to men than a scientific truth, for
it affects not only the Intellect, but the
heart and the conscience.
"You can't prove such a statement
not true by anything you can discover
in the labaratory any more than I can
disprove a scientific discovery by the
Bible. Each is in a realm of its own,
and 's not to be demonstrated the one
by the other.”

FARM, CARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.
Mlit.amnirr Planting..
The farmer or gardener that is well
up with his work, that is, has every
thing in good shape that was started
early in the season, may find a num
ber of little plantings now that can
be made to advantage, especially In
the way of providing additional for
age for winter use. Any vacant field,
whether stubble of the grain just har
vested or one whereon only weeds
are growing, can easily be put in
shape to grow a crop of peas or fod
der corn in the next three months.
Good hay or long forage of any kind
will be a valuable property to the
owner this winter, for there is every
evidence that there will be a short
supply of it, so far as the home sup
ply is concerned. Owing to excessive
rains in the spring and the scarcity
of labor the average farmer is at
least three weeks behind in his work
up to the middle of June, and he has
not given that attention to hay sav
ing this month that he usually does
when he is well up with his work at
this date. So far as it goes there is
no more valuable crop produced on
the Southern farm than first-class
hay, and it hardly matters what it
is made of so it is from a plant at all
suitable for long forage and it is cut
at the proper time and then cuiea
in th(e proper manner. It matters
not whether it is Bermuda grass or
crab grass or peas or fodder
corn or a mixture of several
grasses if it is made into hay un
der the rule that governs in the muk
ing of good hay, it will always find
a purchaser. Among those consumers
who are not producers. Our South
ern liverymen and commercial houses
that keep and feed a goodly number
of stock learn after a little experi
ence that it is much more economical
to use first-class Southern made hay
than the baled stuff that comes to
us from some point a thousand miles
away, half of which is musty, reek
lne in dust or for other reasons un
palatable to well-kept stock.
First-class Bermuda hay has no su
perior whatever its rival may be, and
it may also be accepted as a reliable
statement that first-class pea or fod
der corn hay is a more desirable for
age than the average stuff that comes
to us from the West.
A farmer cannot have too much hay
or long forage. What he cannot con
sume he can sell. Counting the cost
closely there is far more profit in a
ton and a half of hay than there is
in a bale of cotton. Oftener than
not there Is more clear money in a
ton of good forage than In the bale
of cotton. The best measure of a
country's prosperity is the amount of
hay that she raises and consumes.
The time is coming, no doubt, when
the South—anyhow Georgia—will raise
more hay than she consumes, but she
is far from doing it now, mores the
pity! Even in Bermuda grass, cow
peas and fodder corn the South is not
poorly blessed. Bettveen now and
thirty days hence they may be made
very useful in producing abundant
hay.
Deep or Shallow Working 1 light
Soil.
It depends greatly upon the nature
of the soil to what extent deep break
ing of it is either essential or desira
ble. What may be necessary on a stiff
clay soil, granting that it is rich
enough to justify cultivation may be
altogether out of place on a loamy
soil that is almost entirely sand. The
deep plowing, in the way of cultiva
tion, that may be just the thing on a
soil so clayey and waxy that it runs
together after every heavy rain might,
and usually would be almost fatal on
soil that has so much sand and humus
in it as to render it freely porous. On
soil of the latter character the danger
to be guarded against is keeping it too
open and loose after the plants begin
to throw out their roots. There must
be a certain compact condition of the
soil particles to meet the best condi
tion of growth, especially in periods
of continued dry weather. The ama
teur gardener and farmer has the idea
that it is almost impossible to have
the soil loose and open enough for the
best growth and that the best time to
plant is just after the soil has been
fuliy loosened up with plow or spading
fork and while it is in the condition of
a pile of ashes or woodsearth just
turned out of a barrow or cart. He
would plant or sow his seeds, if possi
ble, before the soil had been slightly
compacted even by one rain. A misap
prehension of the facts —of the per
forating power of roots and of the
most favorable condition of soil for
root development and extension has
caused from first to last many, many
failures to secure the best result,
where a better knowledge of the facts
would have helped to secure it.
The roots of some plants have the
perforating power almost of a steei
gimlet and can make their way
through a brick wall.
The roots of all our ordinary cul
tivated plants have the power to easily
perforate our light pine soil before it
is loosened by plow or spade. Many
years ago we were led to make some
experiments bearing upon the ques
tion of this capability of plants from
observing a number of wheat plants
that grew on an old roadway com
pacted by years of travel. Jt was al
most as firm and compact as a city
sidewalk. Some grains, fallen along
here and there, grew up and developed
into perfect plants, tillering out as it
is rarely seen in any of our plowed
fields. The growth was during the
winter (November-May). otherwise
there would hardly have been sufficient
moisture permeating the hard road
bed to perfect a plant. As it was the
dozen or so plants matured seed
stalks ranging from 30 to 70 each, a
growth rarely seen In the average cul
tivated field.
Since that time the experiments have
Included the making of a half acre gar
den frequently with no other implement
of culture than the wheel hoe or garden
plow, which Is just sufficient to keep
down the weeds and secure a earth
mubh of not mote than an inch. Dis
pensing entirely with the horse plow or
cultivator after the first and onlv
breaking of the soil at the beginning,
the hand hoe and the wheel hoe were
all-sufficient Implements for making
maximum crops of onions, celery, spin
j a< h. tomatoes, Irish potatoes and many
others.
The three first named crops are espe
cially made economically In this way as
j l hey all [arm 11 of being grown In very
narrow rows to perfection and with no
j danger from trampling We have found

pactr.ess will loose its moisture very
slowly when the dry weather of Ap
and May begins to have its effect.
An occasional deep breaking is
desirable for most any kind of soil, *
a clavev or stiff soil muri be thoioughly
prepared with the plow in the begin
ning of a season, but the light soiis
licht from the presence of sand ana
humus—of which we were speaking
must be required to reassume a certain
compactness before they are adapted to
the best growth of plants through the
alternations of wet and dry weather. If
kept loose to too great a depth they
waste their moisture and prevent the
normal and healthy development of root
growth.
The Availability of Fertilizers.
Most of us who have studied the true
worth of fertilizers and manures have
often wondered why we must use
quickly available potash salts and acid
(German potash salts and acid phos
phate) with manures and green ma
nures, says a writer in Country Gentle
man. We know very well, to cite an
example, that farmyard manure of
average grade contains as much potash
as nitrogen and half as much phosphor
ic acid. Now these proportions of plant
food are suitable for alt general farm
ing crops, yet the use of such manures
always gives evidence of excessive ni
trogen manuring when used in suffi
cient quantity. We know the potash
and phosphate are there but we also
know it is not effective, though it would
seem it ought to be, as the same pro
cess which liberates the nitrogen should
also liberate the other elements of
plant food. Asa matter of fact, how
ever, the potash and phosphoric acid
are not made available as quickly as
is the nitrogen.
To follow this through, the growth
of the crop when only farmyard ma
nure is used suffers from lack of all
plant food except nitrogen, but the
roughage growth such as weeds, stalks,
etc., makes a good strong growth un
til checked by cold weather. In the
spring the decay of this vegetable sub
stance is very rapid, and much of its
plant food escapes by drainage where
cover or catch crops are not used. In
this way the loss of nitrogen, take the
season through, is less than of either
potash or phosphoric acid; hence the
need of potash and phosphatic manur
ing in excess of the seeming needs of
the crop. The same thing comes up in
clover farming. It is often asked why
potash and phosphates should be used
on a clover sod turned under, when
the clover must contain nitrogen, pot
ash and phosphoric acid in such pro
portions as to suit the food need of
most crops. Asa matter of practical
fact, however, these mineral fertilizer
elements are needed and are profitably
used, as all farmers who have studied
this matter know.
It is a fact that the nitrogen is more
completely utilized in manures and fer
tilizers than the other two elements,
and this is of course because it more
quickly takes an available form. After
all, the usefulness of plant food is not
so much the fact of availability as hav
ing this availability at the right time.
It boots little that plant food may be
freely available at a time when the ap
proach of cold weather and nature's
provision of dry weather shall have
forced a maturity; it is then too late
to do any good. Asa broad general
principle, therefore, give a somewhat
free rein to nitrogen, but look sharpiy
after potash and phosphates. For
quick effects, such as late spring appli
cations or all kind of mid-summer sea
son crops use only the highly avail
able forms—German potash salts and
acid phosphate. Bone is very good in
its way, which is for fall manuring, but
even then the potash must be used.
There Is no potash and but little avail
able nitrogen in bone. Acid phosphate
will not sour the land, but green ma
nure and farmyard manure will. When
either of these is used, lime must be
also used, as often as once in five
years, forty bushels per acre, but
through all this the availability prob
lem remains the same.
Inoculating the Soil.
Inoculating the soil with cultures of
bacteria for special crops so far as
tests have been made has met with
success in the experiments, says the
American Fertilizer. There are oppor
tunities for farmers to experiment
without depending on the several sta
tions, and as the cost is small every
famer should become interested in
making discoveries with the use of the
"commercial bacteria.” Already the
dairymen of this country have accept
ed these minute agents as adjuncts
to success in the production of choice
butter and scientists have discovered
that bacteria perform special func
tions in the growth of all plants. If
the employment of bacteria becomes
general, and such agencies are to Be
sold by the bottle, as is being done,
we may yet witness the extraordinary
spectacle of the farmer going to the
drug store for his bacteria as well as
to the dealer for his fertilizer, as bot
tles of bacteria have already been
shipped to all portions of the world for
use on soils, each crop having its own
special kind. Once established in the
soil the farmer retains the bacteria
every year thereafter, provided he
does not allow too long a period of
time to elapse, as they will cease to
exist if prevented from performing the
functions for which they are fitted, and
by inoculating the soil of one field with
bacteria from some other location they

The micro-organisms which assist in
plant nutrition are known as “nitro
bacteria.” some forming ammonia, or
carbonate of ammonia, from organic
compounds (as albuminoids), some
transforming ammonia into nitric
acid, while others transform nitrous
acid into nitric acid, each kind being
necessary for its own particular work.
In cultivated soils, which have a neu
tral or alkaline reaction, bacteria are
almost the sole ammonia makers, while
in vegetable soils of marked acid re
action as in swamps and forests, the
molds are the chief producers of am
monia. The nitrous ferments are by far
the largest and most vigorous of the
nitrifying organisms, the further pro
gress being the oxidation of nitrous
into nitric acid, which is performed
by the nitric ferments, which are
smaller than the nitrous. There is
another class of organism which ab
sorb free nitrogen from the air and
presents it in available forms to plants.
These several kinds of bacteria, which
have been fully described and their ac
tion explained by the chief of chem
istry at Washington are actual reali
ties in agriculture, and he verifies the
claim that the "bottled bacteria,”
known as "nitrogen,” permits of mak
ing the micro-organisms a commercial
product, and that in a few years it
will be indispensible on farms—a fact
which is already apparent from the re
sults of experiments made the past sea
son.
One of the easiest modes of experi
ment with bacteria is for the farmers
to procure soil from other farms. On
a field where one farmer endeavored
for years to grow clover without suc
cess was applied four bushels of top
soil from a field on which had grown
a luxuriant crop of clover. The re
sult was miraculous, as the field which
had been used without success pro
duced a magnificent crop. It had all
the elements of fertility for clover,
and as capable of giving a large yield,
but was lacking in the micro-organ
isms necessary for converting the
plant food of the soil into forms best
adapted for desired crop. It may safe
ty be claimed that when there is a
failure of any particular crop, pro
vided the conditions were favorable
otherwise, the addition of soil from a
location from which a crop was luxuri
ant will effect a change. This rule ap
plies to nearly all crops, but one can
not secure a large yield by using the
bacteria of red clover on crimson clo
ver, as each plant has its special agent
in that respect. The clover bacteria
will exist three years on a plot if only
one crop of clover is removed there
from, and on leguminous soils warmth,
shade and an alkaline condition should
be the object. It is because the con
ditions are made favorable to the mi
nute micro-organisms that lime and
potash give beneficial results; hence,
chemical changes are hastened by their
presence. There is more to be discov
ered in this direction and it is possible
that in a few years the farmers will
be able to draw upon the atmosphere
for nitrogen, instead of purchasing it
as sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda
or in other forms.
