It is remarked that nearly all the
diseases of poultry arise from cold
moisture,
In the practice of green manuring,
it is found to do well in any condition
of season, or of soil, if it were needing
any fertilizing agent. This will in all
cases prove good for it, and will do
more good compared with the cost of
applying to the whole crop than only re
turning a part of it, and using that in
a live and green state, is better than
to have it dead and dry before using.
For some very dry seasons, and for
some crops, the turning under of a
heavy growing crop in green manur
ing a field, will help the soil to retain
moisture enough to carry its crop
through such a season better than
with any other conditions of manur
ing or tillage for such a year.
Ashes not only give to the plant
mineral food, but they change the
physical condition of the soil. When
an alkali is put into the soil it neutral
izes any acids that are injurious to
plants. Ashes have a special adaptation
to light soils, as sand}' loams, making
them heavier and retentive of moist
ure. Where sod is plowed under upon
sandy loam, the addition of ashes will
hasten decomposition. Applied to
cold, wet soils wood ashes will be use
ful in absorbing moisture. Plants
take minerals in certain proportions,
and are called potash plants if they
contain the greatest proportion of
this element. Ashes are a special fer
tilizer for supplying potash, though
they are beneficial to other crops. On
about every farm there is a large a-
mount of rubbish which would make
a good fertilizer if properly treated;
mix it with ashes and it will be of
some use. If ashes are mixed with
peat, tlie result will be a fertilizer a|-
most as good as barnyard manure,
for ashes decompose the peat and ni-'
trogen is formed. This is a cheap
manure. But ashes should not be
used in compost with animal excre
ments, for the nitrogen will be lost
during decomposition. In an emer
gency. where you have a lot of green
manure that is to be applied very
soon, ashes may be used; but sul
phate of lime, or some other good ab
sorbent, must be used to hold the ni
trogen. By the leaching of soft wood
ashes a much greater per cent of the
potash is taken out than is the case
with hard-wood ashes. It is well to
ascertain before buying leached ash
es if lime lias been used in the process,
for more of the potash is taken out by
its use. Ashes lose little in leaching
besides potash. It has been estima
ted that when used for their potash,
one bushel of unleached will be equiv
alent to four bushels of leached ashes;
but when us< d for the whole of the
minerals they contain, as a rule, four
bushels of unleaclied are equal to five
bushels of learned. The comparative
value of ashes depends to some ex
tent upon their solubility. A much
greater proportion of soft-wood ashes
is really soluble in water than those
of hard-wood. Hence, hard-wood
ashes last the longest.—-American Cul
tivator.
Prof. G. H. Spooner on Hog Cholera.
From the Sparta lshmaelite.
Prof. Spooner of the Virginia Agri
cultural and Mechanical College,
writes, regarding hog cholera, that it
is a rapidly fatal disease and attacks
without regard to race or condition;
that while fanners are losing hundreds
of bogs it is due to their own negli
gence. While the professor lays no
claim to a universal specific, general
panacea” or “unfailing remedy, he
does claim that any intelligent farm
er can apply the simple means of pre
vention. It is now conceded that hog
cholera is a bacteritic disease; that it
is due to the presence of microbes.
When once the bacteria get to de
veloping in the articulating organs
and reach the small capillaries, they
form into masses and caues a clogging
which produces stagnation and ulti
mately death. Upon the point of the
cause of the disease there is now no
great difference of opinion, and it
matters not by what name, whether
bacteria or micrococci or microbe if
its progress can be arrested.
Investigation has proven that the
bacteria do not thrive in an acid medi
um and upon thisjpoint Prof. Spooner
hangs his prevention. His remedy is
to introduce into the system some acid
that will not injure the animal, but
which will‘prevent the propagation
of the bacteritic germs. The best
success attended his experiments by
the use of carbolic acid, enough put
into water to make it slightly acid; 8
to 10 drops to the hundred pounds.
By this treatment not a single animal
was lost. In another herd hyposul
phite of soda was used with results
equally as good. This being cheaper
is recommended for use.
Lime is a compound of oxygen with
calcium, and exists in nature in many
forms. When made from pure lime
stone or from pure dolomite, it is call
ed rich, and when it contains impuri
ties so as to diminish its value as an
ingredient of mortar it is called poor.
Lime in agriculture is used in several
forms, both separately and in combi
nation with various other substances.
Air-slacked lime is extensively applied
to the land. It facilitates decomposi
tion of vegetable matter and coarse
manures, and by a chemical action up
on insoluble minerals in the soil, ren
ders them available as food for plants.
It acts beneficially to stiff clay soils
by rendering them open and there
fore more readily penetrable by rain,
air and the roots of plants. Soils rich
in felspathic minerals, or those con
taining silicates of potash and soda
are benefited after they have become
worn, by an application of caustic or
quick lime. The character of the soil
and its previous treatment should de
cide the quantity to be applied and
the frequency of its application.
Larger applications are called for on
stiff clays than on sandy soils, and in
all cases the quantity is dependent
somewhat upon the depth of the soil
and the amount of vegetable matter
it contains. Soils in cold climates gen
erally call for larger applications than
those in warm ones. Lime should not
be applied to land destitute of vegeta
ble matter. It should be sown broad
cast and thoroughly incorporated
with the soil if applied without pre
viously composing with vegetable
matter. Do not compose lime with
animal manures, or loss of ammonia
will be the result. The larger the ap
plications the less frequent are they
required. In England it is not an un
usual thing to serve as much as from
200 to 300 bushels per acre and then
apply no more for a term of years.
The stronger the soil the more it will
bear; indeed, it is only on soils rich in
humus or clay soils that lime should
be applied liberally. While an essen
tial constituent of plants, without
which, indeed, they could not grow,
lime exists, except in rare cages, in suf
ficient quantity in the soil to give the
crop all that is needed, and when ap
plied as a fertilizer produces astonish
ing results, as has been already im
plied, by its action on other constitu
ents of plant food already in the
ground.
FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN MOON
SHINERS AND REVENUE
RAIDERS.
Atlanta, June 28.—There was a
desperate and fatal encounter last
night near Ben Hill between two Ful
ton county moonshiners and a party
of revenue officers from this city. The
distillery was located last Friday
night by Revenue Agent Chapman,
Deputy Collector Berry Chisolm and
Deputy Marshal McDonald.
About 6 o’clock yesterday evening
the officers started on the raid. The
party consisted of Special Agent W.
W. Colquitt, Deputy Collector Perry
Chisolm and Deputy United States
Marshal W. N. McDonald. It was a
dark night and everything was favor
able to such an expedition. They ar
rived in the neighborhood about 10
o’clock and began to make a careful
and stealthy approach.
The place to be reached w r as two
miles from Ben Hill, and near the
Campbell county line. When within
a short distance of the still, lights
were seen, as were also the forms of
two men moving about at work.
The three raiders came upon the
still in as may different directions.
Special Agent Colquitt got up a little
in advance of the others, and when
the moonshiners detected his presence
they opened fire on him with rocks--
one striking him on the knee, knock
ing him over.
Chisolm and McDonald rushed for
ward into the still and they were at
tacked in the same way, McDonald
was struck in the face by a rock. He
cried to the men to stop, but they con
tinued the attack, when he fired upon
them. He made two shots with fatal
effect. One of the men received the
lead in tfie right side, and the other
was shot through the foot.
The one shot in the side made an
effort to run, but was stopped by
Chisolm, and fell to the ground. It
was found upon examination that he
was dangerously wounded. McDon
ald was dispatched for a physician.
He brought Dr. Suttle, whose residen
ce was two miles away, but when he
arrived the man was dead. The
death occurred about 3 o'clock this
morning. The dead man was John
Brown, and his accomplice was Joe
Overton, who was placed under ar
rest.
Brown was a notorious revenue of
fender, and has given the- officers
great trouble. In May, last year, he

Toccoa News: Rice culture in White

bushels. This rice, when cleaned,
would weigh 30 pounds to the bushel,
which would be 3,000 pounds; and rice

It is observed that “much has been
«ai(i about the advantage of small
farms, special stress being laid on
their being well tilled. But a farm
should be well tilled whether it is
small or large. The size should de
pend upon the business undertaken.
For example, stock farming will re
quire sufficient land for pasturage and
mowing, but for market gardening
or raising small fruits extensive lands
are not needed. In general farming
there are advantages to be secured
from possessing many acres. On the
small farm there are some kinds of
work that require more than one man,
and it costs much more in proportion
to hire help ‘off and on’ than by the
month. There is a loss not to be over
looked in the case of implements. The
large farm will need only a few more,
and some tools are used so little on
the small farm that they will not give
a corresponding return for their in
vestment. In order to have good til
lage on a small farm one must have a
good team: generally one horse can
do most of the work, and it will not
pay to keep an extra horse for so lit
tle"work. On a large farm the cost of
marketing is less, and a large produ
cer helps control the market. But
much, after all, depends upon the
man, and it may be said that up to
the measure of capacity and capital
of each individual person depends the
size of the farm.”
was arrested in a
bell county by Deputy Collector
Chisolm, Deputy Marshal McDonald
(who was also on this raid) and Re
venue Agent Morris. While the offi
cers were breaking up the distillery
they were fired on by other parties
and Brown tried, ineffectually, to get
away. In the following June, in the
United StatesCourt, he pleaded guilty
on information charging him with
illicit distilling, and was sentenced to
two years in the penitentiary at Al
bany, He was discharged a few
months ago under the decision of the
United States Court, which held that
a conviction for an offense of this
character could not be had except
upon indictment by the grand jury.
Brown was considered a desperate
character, and was so looked upon by
the neighborhood in which he lived.
The people of that section were anx
ious to get rid of him, as he was a bad
citizen and by his business doing
much to corrupt the young men of
that portion of the country.
Notice was also given the coroner of
Fulton county, and at noon a consid-
able party left the city for the scene
of the difficulty, for the purpose of
attending the inquest. Judge Man
ning, who was to act as coroner, Dis
trict Attorney Hill, Marshal Nelms,
Revenue Agents Chapman and Col
quitt, and Deputy Collector Haight,
w r ere in the party.
The party returned to the city to
night. The inquest was held where
the body lay, and all the neighbor
hood were present. There was a half
mile of buggies and wagons tied in the
woods, and the deepest interest was
manifested in the occasion. There
seemed to be considerable feeling a-
gainst the killing of Brown, although
the evidence was substantially as
above stated, Judge Manning acted
as coroner, and the jury was taken
j from the neighborhood, as designated
by the local bailiff.
The inquest lasted nearly two hours.
At its conclusion, the jury, after being
out but a few minutes, made a verdict
that the deceased came to his death
I from a pistol shot fired by W. N. Mc
Donald, and that it was murder.
McDonald surrendered to the bailiff,
but he was turned over to Marshal
Nelms, who brought him to the city
to-night and has him now in charge,
