FARM , GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.
Garden >ote—Deeember.
There is not much in the way of sow
ing seeds or planting this month ex
cept in the extreme southern part of
this state and in Florida. In those
sections even there is comparatively
little to be done for most hardy crops
were started last month.
Where such work was neglected or
not accomplished owing to unfavora
ble weather it is still in order to do
it now.
Spinach, onions, English peas, sal
sify. asparagus are crops that can be
started with every prospect of suc
cess anywhere below' Savannah. Even
in Middle Georgia these crops are us
ually started in December and are on
ly seriously damaged one year out of
three or four. Of course, where the
roots are used asparagus can be set
out anytime from November to
March, when the ground is not frozen.
Where the roots can be had either
from the North or South there is no
better time for setting them out than
during this month.
Asparagus is the greatest of all veg
etables and there should always be a
big bed or a long row of it in every
garden. It is the easiest of all veg
etables to grow' after the start has
been made. Once well established in
good soil it endures for a number of
years and the trouble of caring for it
is very little. A good top dressing
every other year and keeping it free
from injurious weeds is all that will
be necessary towards maintaining it
in perfect condition.
The English pea is a very hardy
plant when young. It can be serious
ly injured only when severe cold oc
curs w'hen the plant is blooming or
about to bloom.
It is not well to push the cultiva
tion of the crop until the severe
freezes are over, but it is well to put
the seed in the ground some time
during this month. It is a crop, how’-'
ever, that can be planted in January
and February. Asa rule the earlier
plantings give the best crops.
On naturally good soli the best fer
tilizer for the crop is a mixture of
acid phosphate and potash. Fresh
rank stable manure is not a proper
fertilizer for English peas. It pro
duces a dense foliage or vine with few
peapods. The dwarf sorts will stand
high manuring better than the tall or
running sorts that require staking.
Onion sets can be set out this
month anywhere in the South below'
the latitude of Atlanta. But it is
well when set out this late to throw'
the soil into high beds and then set
the sets deep into this bed. This
will insure the sets not being heaved
out by hard freeze. The soil can be
W'orked away from the plants after
hard freezes are over.
The best crops of onions are now
grown from plants that are raised in
seed beds during the fall and winter
and then transplanted in January and
February.
Onions raised from "sets” are very
unreliable as to bulbing. Sometimes
nearly every plant will shoot to seed
instead of bulbing and the crop there
by ruined, but when grown from
plants this does not occur. Every plant
almost makes a perfect onion. The
plants have no tendency to throw up
seed stalks like the sets. It is a more
tedious plan, but it assures a crop of
perfect onions. Onions that will keep
too, and this is a desideratum.
The Bermuda and Italian varieties
do much better in the South than the
kinds grown at the North.
In Southern Georgia and Florida
cabbage set out in December are not
seriously hurt oftener than once in
three years.
In the small garden it is a very
simple matter to provide a mulch of
straw for several hundred cabbage
plants at least, and thus properly
cared for and protected in due time
need not be affected by the January
freezes. A double handful of pine
straw sprinkled over a plant and al
lowed to remain on while a cold wave
lasts gives complete protection from
any freeze likely to occur In our lati
tude.
Inoculating Soil for Alfalfa—The
Trne l *e of the I/egmnet,
One of the most Interesting facts re
cently demonstrated is that the so
called burr clover can easily be used
to inoculate soil for the growing of
alfalfa, says the Practical Farmer.
This was to be supposed, because they
are both members of the same genus,
the burr clover being Medicago Den
tlculata, and really a sort of annua!
alfalfa, for the alfalfa is Medicago Sa
tiva. At the Edgecombe, N. C., farm
belonging to the North Carolina Board
of Agriculture, the burr clover has been
found to be one of the most useful
winter pasture crops and soil Improv
ers, and while of little value for hay
It Is the best means that can be used
for the inoculation of the soil with the
bacteria that live on alfalfa, for the
burr-like seeds carry the bacteria with
them and the alfalfa following a crop
of the burr clover was found to be
well Inoculated, and the soil from the
burr clover patch has been used to
inoculate fresh soil for alfalfa suc
cessfully. We do not know how far
north the burr clover may be hardy,
but it is well worth trying. It suc
ceeds best on a sandy soil, and the
seed should be sown among corn or
cotton In July or August, and then
will give some grazing In the fall. The
Monthly Bulletin of the North Caro
lina (Department of Agriculture for
July last gives q full account of the
experiments that have been made with
this plant and with the hairy vetch.
This bulletin states that the burr clov
er succeeds best on the heavier type
of sandy soil with a good clay subsoil.
W'hen the seed Is allowed to ripen the
land will be well re-seeded for the fol
lowing fall. The bulletin referred to
shows a cut of a cotton crop follow
ing burr clover which had been fer
tilized with 200 pounds of acid phos
phate and eighty pounds of katnit per
acre. Another cut shows the crop of
cotton following cotton with the same
fertilizer that wa* applied to the clover
on the other plat, with the addition
of 120 pounds of cotton seed meal for
nitrogen which the first plat got from
the clover. The plat on which the
burr clover had been grown made 1,620
pounds of seed cotton per acre, which
was exactly 400 pounds more than that
made on the plat receiving the com
plete fertilizer. This 400 pounds of
cotton sold for IIS, and deducting pick
ing and excess hHUlIng there was a
gain of sl6 In favor of the plat fol
lowing the clover. This la exactly
what we have for years been Insist
ing upon, that we can gain more In
the productivity of the soil through
the use of the mineral forms of plant
food In phosphoric netd and potaah
applied to the crop that feeds the soil
with nitrogen, than we can by an ap
plication of a complete fertiliser to the
sale crop, This Is not only true In
rag.ird to the cotton crop of the Koulh.
but Is equally true In regard to crops
anywhere, and ahowa that the true
use of commercial fertiliser* Is to in
crease the growth of the crops that
feed the et>k and the land at the
aattta Ume, and to look to them for the
sale crops. In short, the true use of
fertilizers is not merely to squeeze
more sale crops from the land, but to
help increase the fertility.
Marling in the Poultry Bnalneaa.
Don't attempt to engage in poultry
raising on a large scale to start with
unless you have had previous expe
rience, says the Southern Ruralist.
Men are prone to estimate that
if ten hens will produce say SSO
a year, 100 hens will earn SSOO and
1.000 hens will guarantee him at
least $4,000 or $5,000. This is fault
less mathematics, but you will not re
alize any such profits when you test
the matter.
Scraps from the table will feed ten
fowls and no special housing will be
required for this small flock. A large
number of fowls (say 1,000) will re
quire a considerable outlay, of money
in the first instance. The interest on
this money will amount to about
$160.00 a year, food for chickens will
cost SI,OOO and help will be another
$1,200, a total of $2,360. Basing the
income at exactly the same compara
tive figures, realized on the ten bird
flock, it will be noted that the com
parative net income will exceed but
little over one-half of that of the
small, easily handled and inexpensive
flock.
It is immeasurably best to start
with a breeding pen of say nine hens
and a cock. Use a hundred egg incu
bator and hatch all eggs the first
year. This, barring accident, will in
sure you a splendid flock of 400 or
500 pullets to commence on the sec
ond year, besides furnishing your ta
ble with a plentiful supply of tooth
some broilers and absolutely reliable
eggs.
The second year you will have a
sufficient knowledge gleaned from ac
tual experience to branch out in the
poultry business on a larger scale.
Your original investment of say SSO
should represent every dollar you put
in the business. Every dime spent in
excess of this amount may be classed
as unnecessary and charged up to ex
perience.
A breeding pen of ten thorough
breds and an incubator will make
you a nice sum after the second year.
Calculate from the figures furnished
above and see if we are not easily
within the bounds of reason. Remem
ber that by following our suggestions
that you eliminate in comparative fig
uring on a flock of 500, all interest,
feed, SSOO and help. $600.00, and you
have thus a total expense of $l,lOO.
Your 500 pullets—that you now un
derstand how to handle—will produce
at a low estimate an average of 15
dozen eggs each per year, which will
sell for about 20 cents a dozen or
$3.00, a grand total of $1,500, a net
profit of $400.00, besides the $600.00
for your work.
The original breeding pen has been
repeating the history of the first year
and your flock will enter into the
third year 1,000 strong.
Let us impress upon you:
Don’t start on a large scale.
Don't buy common dung-hill chick
ens.
Don't engage in the poultry busi
ness at all unless you are willing to
work, and watch, and wait.
Tlie Work of Water.
We have as yet many unsolved pro
blems in agriculture, and among them
is the work that water must do In the
production of crops, says the Farm
ers' Review. We are largely In a mist
as to the amount of water needed on
land to produce a certain amount of
gi'ain or of fruit. The experimenters
that have been at work on this problem
in various parts of the country can
only tell us that they are coming clos
er and closer to some kind of a gen
eral base.
Prof. King found out that it
took several hundred pounds of water
to produce a pound of different kinds
of gi'ain; but to produce a pound of ap
ples the amount of water will be found
to be very much less. Some of the
most effective experiments have been
made in New Mexico, at Mesilla Park.
To them we are Indebted for some
very valuable data as to the cost of
using steam In the pumping of water,
employing wood as fuel. We h*ad natu
rally taken It for granted that It would
not pay to use steam in pumping wa
ter for irrigating land. We now know
that steam Is one of the cheapest agents
that can be employed in the l'alsing of
water for such a purpose.
But one of the important things that
must be settled Is the exact work to be
laid on water. If the experiments have
shown anything it Is that the most
profit comes when the exact amount of
water required Is supplied. Every inch
of unnecessary vrfater used is added
expense. If a good deal too much wa
ter is used the expense may be equal
to the profit. So It becomesa mat
ter of knowledge and the knowledge
is money. The wise irrigator knows
that Irrigation pays; the unwise Irri-
R'ator is strongly fixed In the belief
that it does not pay.
This truth Is coming out In the dis
covery In a good rrtany localities that
less water is required than it was
thought would be required for the
production of a crop of any particu
lar grain. In New Mexico they are
about settling down to the conclusion
that twenty-five inches of water ap
plied throughout the growing season,
from seeding to harvest, is the most
profitable amount. A larger appli
cation may increase the yield of wheat,
but the increase is made at the ex
pense of n large amount of water, and
this water cost Is far greater than the
value of the increase of the grain. Thus
It was found that seven irrigations
with five Inches of water at each Ir
rigation gave 18 bushels of wheat. That
was at the expenditure of 35 Inches
of water over the whole area. Twen
ty-five Inches of water gave 15.1 bush
els. At this rate it took one and
two-thirds inches of water to produce
one bushel of wheat, while the extra
three bushels was produced at an ex
penditure of ten Inches of water or
at the rate of three and a third Inches
of water for each bushel of wheat.
Clearly wheat would have to be very
high In price to make It play to pro
duce It at this cost.
Another thing that it being brought
out by trials with Irrigation water Is
that water does not sink rapidly Into
the soil. When thirty-five incres of
water were applied to the wheat field
none of It sank In deeper than five
feet. As soon as the ground could
hold It without being more than rf.it
uruted It prevented It* downward
movement. This is a help to the Irri
gator. It prevents the leaching away
of the water and It saves the fertility
that may be In the soli naturally or
that ha* been artificially applied.
The root* of many plants. Including
corn, clover and alfalfa, will go down
five feet or more and so can make
Ue of all the water applied.

But this is not the oaa* In many re
gions in the west, where the surfin'*

production. If it had the general
tendency to move down, as most peo
ple suppose, there would be no trouble
from the rising of alkali; for in that
case the alkali would be carried far
below the roots of the crops and
would stay there.
But the water sinks into the dry
soil for five, ten, fifteen feet or more,
dissolves the alkali it finds and then
begins an upward movement, being
pumped up by the air. It brings up
the alkali with it and in evaporating
leaves the chemical as a layer on the
top of the soil. The work of water is
gradually being better understood a'd
it will be made to perform greater
tasks than have hitherto been laid
on it.
Nntrition of the Horse.
Horses, like other animals, require
a definite amount of nutrients per 1,000
pounds of live weight for mainte
nance, says the Farm Journal. To this
must be added an extra amount for
muscular work, this amount being de
pendent on the amount and intensity
of the labor performed. This extra
food must consist largely of energy
producing components such as the
starches. There should be at least one
sixth as much protein as of starchy
matter.
The ration of the horse should con
sist of both concentrated feeds and
coarse fodder. Concentrates alone are
too compact and if roughage alone is
fed the horse cannot consume enough
of it to produce the nutrition required.
A horse fed on roughage Can get along
all right so long as he is not required
to work, but if hard work is required
of him he has not the energy to per
form what he is exnected to. All the
whipping in the world will not force
him to the performance of labor above
his strength.
A hard-working horse should re
ceive the same w'eight of concentrated
foods as of bulky foods. This rule is
a general one, and is, of course, modi
fied according to circumstances. For
instance, it might not hold good if a
large quantity of the coarse feed con
sisted of very green corn, because that
would be too heavy with water.
In many parts of the United States
we find that corn is being fed largely
as the single grain ration of horses.
This is true not only of the corn belt,
but even of the New England states,
where corn has to be imported from
the West. But in the corn belt corn
is fed to an extreme. The general ad
vice to modify this ration by the feed
ing of more oats is a good one. There
is no grain that Is perhaps so useful
in the feeding of horses as oats. A
man that has a large supply of corn
can afford to sell some of it and buy
oats, no matter what the price of oats
may be.
Hardy Plant*.
In all parts of the country an ef
fort is being made to produce hardy
plants, says an exchange. In some
cases this hardiness consists In be
ing able to withstand cold, in
other parts of the country it means
the ability to withstand drought, and
In yet other places the ability to
grow In spite of the fierce rays of the
summer sun. So the men that have
undertaken the task of developing
hardy plants have some extremely
hard problems to solve.
The work Is being prosecuted along
several lines. One is to select plants
from hardy plants and to continue to
select those that show Increased
hardiness. Some progress Is being
made In thlß line, but not so much
as the experimenters desire. Another
method is to cross a very good va
riety with an Inferior one that has
hardiness in an extraordinary degree.
Thus the wild crab apple, which grows
even north of the Canadian line In
Manitoba, Is being crossed with the
finer varieties of apples a thousand
miles to the South. From this cross
seeds are planted and then selection
begins of the trees that bear the best
fruit and yet show hardiness. In
either case It will be observed that
a hardy variety must be selected as
a starting point.
Already much has I been accom
plished and hardy varieties of plants
are being grown much further north
than It was thought to be possible
twenty years ago. It is difficult, how
ever, to say Just what constitutes
hardiness In plants, and it frequently
happens that a plant that seemed to
be hardy at first proves not to be
hardy when given a longer trial.
In a good many cases the apparent
ly Increased hardiness Is due to late
ness of blooming In the spring, the
blossoms opening after the frosts
have passed. A variety that Is late
in blooming can be grown much fur
ther north than one that opens early.
Observations along this line give great
promise of success.
The Drainage Engineer.
The drainage engineer is a product
of modern times and as such should
be encouraged. He has come not
without reason, for drainage has as
sumed a proportion In its relation
to farm work that it has never be
fore had. There are many that do
not yet consider him a necessity, for
they have not yet found out that a
poor piece of leveling In a drain may
reduce its efficiency one-half or more.

BLOOD POISON, VARICOCELE, STRICTURE.
Any man suffering from a private disease that his family doctor does not
seem to understand, or which you are unwilling to mention to him, should
consult the well-known authority. Dr. J. Newton Hathaway. This far-famed
t specialist has given preference for years to the study of
diseases of men affecting the reproductive system and the
blood, and the long list of cured patients he has to his
credit is conclusive proof of his genuine ability in this di
rection. He is successful in curing the most difficult and
long-standing cases, and you should consult him first
when anything like that gets the matter with you. He
seldom or never finds it necessary to resort to a surgical
operation, and his advice on the quickest way to get
well, and his accurate diagnosis of all cases, make it
especially desirable that you seek his Judgment before

Seeding Area of Roots.
The roots of most plants do their
principal amount of feeding near the
surface of the ground, though the
same plants may send down roots to
a depth of four or more feet. The deep
going roots are not, however, very
large feeders. It used to-be thought
that their entire work was to draw
up water, but this idea is evidently
not founded on any good reasons. The
plant needs water principally for the
conveying of food and it is not prob
able that it seeks water for itself ex
cept in times of drought. That the
bulk of the roots should be near the
top of the ground is natural, as
the air gets to the roots more readily
there, and consequently the amount
of available plant food is there greater
than further down. But there is
some food and some air further down,
and these supply the cause for the
penetration of the roots to greater
depths. In the case of crimson clover
most of the roots are found in the first
eight inches of soil. In the next four
inches only abut 8 per cent, of the
total weight of the roots is found,
though some of the roots penetrate
many feet into the soil. There is,
therefore, little in the argument that
the roots of plants are constantly
bringing up the fertility from great
depths.
Kiefler Pear Stock*.
Fkir some few years past nursery
men have been experimenting with the
seedlings from the Kieffer pear as a
stock on which to graft others. It has
not been a success. The Kieffer pear
is of mixed parentage, half Chinese
and half, supposedly, Bartlett, or Eu
ropean. It has been found that as a
stock the Kieffer seedlings are good
for all sorts of pears, so far as the
first year or two’s growth Is con
cerned, but that after the lapse of
those years the European sorts dwin
dle and eventually become of no ac
count whatever. It Is rather surpris
ing that the European kinds should
start off so well and then be so dis
appointing. By European kinds, such
sorts as Bartlett and like varieties are
referred to. For Kieffer itself and Le-
Conte, Garber and varieties of the
Chinese type the seedlings referred to
are Just the thing. They are fast
growing, making vigorous seedlings
the first season, and those who grow
Kieffer pears largely find them of great
use. Stocks for ordinary kinds of
pears are had alrfiost altogether from
France, where the large pear orchards,
the product of which is used in the
making of perry, afford the chance of
getting quantities of seeds. These
seeds are mostly sown in France, but
a quantity is Imported and sown by
our own nurserymen.

NEITHER SHIP

COMMANDER H. S. COLDING
HEARS FROM COMMANDERS OF
HARTFORD AND CHATTANOOGA.
Thought Ships May Be Able to Visit
Savannah Some Time in Fatnrc.
The Hartford Han Been Ordered to
Key Went—Commander of Chntta
noogn, the New Ship, Writes That
Trip at This Time W'ould Not Be
Practicable.
Neither the Hartford nor the Chatta
nooga will visit Savannah in the im
mediate future, though there is still a
probability of both the vessels coming
later.
This information was contained in
two letters received yesterday morning
by Commander H. S. Colding of the
Naval Reserves, one of the letters being
from the commander of the Hartford
and the other from the commander of
the Chattanooga. Both officers express
regret at not being able to visit Sa
vannah at once, but state they hope to
be able to do so some time in the
future.
Following is the letter in regard to
the Hartford:
U. S. S. Hartford, Fortress Monroe,
Va., Dec. 1, 1904.—Sir: I have to ac
knowledge receipt of your polite letter
of the 26th ultimo, and thank you for
your interest, but I have to-day re
ceived orders to proceed directly to
Key West, and I shall not have the
pleasure of visiting Savannah for the
present. Respectfully,
T E. DeW. H. Veeder,
Commander, U. S. Navy, Commanding.
The letter in regard to the Chatta
nooga follows:
U. S. S. Chattanooga, Navy Yard,
New York, Dec. 2, 1904.—My Dear Sir:
Your cordial invitation of Nov. 26,
1904, has just reached me. It will not
be practicable for us to make the trip
to Savannah at this time, but if in
the near future it is possible to do
so, we shall be more than pleased to
come to your hospitable city.
Thanking you for your polite Invi
tation, I am very truly yours,
Ale*. Sharp,
Commander, U. S. N., Commanding.
Commander Colding very much re
grets the fact that the ships are un
able to come at this time. He believes,
however, that they may pay Savannah
a visit some time in the near future.
APPEALS FOR PROTECTION
OF HIS CHURCH.
Uev. Richard Bright’s Charge
Against Lawless White Boys.
Editor Morning News; Asa law
abiding and orderly citizen, I would
like to ask a question relative to the
disregard of law and order. What
would be the result If a gang of negro
boys were to open, during the serv
ices, the doors of the Roman Catholic
Cathedral, the Jewish Synagogue,
Christ Church, or any leading white
church, and hoot and jeer the worship
pers?
During my rectorship, of more than
a decade, of St. Stephens Church for
negroes in this city, I have had ho
greater trial to contend with than the
malicious and persistent disturbance
of our religious services, by vicious
white boys, who congregate in the
square, in front of the church. To
enumerate all their lawlessness toward
the congregation and myself is well
nigh impossible. Recently, however,
the "gang” threw stones in the church
while the sexton was cleaning it, and
this Sunday afternoon during religious
services they opened the church door
and hooted the worshippers.
Now, I ask in the name of God, In
the name of law and order is this
right? Is it just?
Years ago—not so long—a negro con
gregation in this city situated in a
desirable quarter, was so emotional in
its devotions that the white residents
in the neighborhood made a motion
that the church be moved. It was
promptly carried, and the church was
moved. Here at Habersham and Har
ris streets, is a congregation of wellbe
haved, orderly negroes, whose devo
tions disturb no one in the neighbor
hood, whose pastor Instills into young
and old the principles of law and order,
And yet in face of the fact that we
are orderly and lawabidlng, our serv
ices are continually being disturbed
and our property defaced by hoodlums.
To-day to when undue emphasis and
prominence are given to the slightest
dlsorderliness on the part of negroes
is it not heartrending to think that
a congregation of well-behaved among
them are subjected to such outrageous
treatment by white boys whose su
perior civilization ought to teach them
differently.
What incentive is there for a negro
minister to be lawabidlng himself?
What encouragement is there for him
to insist that those whom he leads
shall be likewise, If members of the
apposite race can disturb their re
ligious services, deface the church prop
erty, and threaten him with bodily
harm, with impunity. If wiser coun
sel had not prevailed during these
years that we have been (and are
still being) disturbed, no one knows
what might have been the consequence.
One of the best windows in the church
has been shattered by thees young van
dals; at Christmas they make their
huge bonfire in the plat In front of it,
even tearing up the wooden posts put
down to protect the sidewalks. How
can any set of men live In peace and
good will with their fellows who are
determined that they shall not cele
brate religiously the birth of the Na
zarene; or continue to sing his praises
during the year in peace? Surely there
must be —indeed there are some god
fearing, fearless and righteous men
and women of the opposite race In the
city whose consciences are not dead
to truth and Justice, and who will
wield their Influence in behalf of this
law abiding and orderly congregation.
Very respectfully.
Richard Bright,
Rector St. Stephens Church, Haber

Manchester Cloth Market.
Manchester, Dec. 4.—The decline in
raw cotton at Liverpool had a de
terrent effect on operations in the cloth
market here last week. Buyers are
disposed to pause a while, future wants
being well provided. The India and
China business transacted was on a
smaller scale at generally slight con
cessions. Business for minor outlet
was practically confined to moderate
purchases for South America. Yarns
were quieter, although moderate lines
were negotiated, a majority of users
waiting for developments in cotton.
Scruggs May Get a Job.
Atlanta, Dec. 4. —It is reported that
Col. W. L. Scruggs of Atlanta Is slated
for a diplomatic position under Presi
dent Roosevelt’s new administration.
Just what it will be has not been
made public. Col. Scruggs was minis
ter to Venezuela under President Har
rison and made a splendid record.
