A STUDY IN SCARLET.
By A. CONAN DOYLE.
PART ONE.
{Being a reprint from the reminiscences
of John H. Watson, M. I)., late of the
a—my medical department.]
“There’s more work to bo got ont of
one of those little beggars than ont of a
dozen of the force,” Holmes remarked.
“The mere sight of an official looking
person seals men’s lips. These young
sters, however, go everywhere and hear
everything. They are as sharp as needles
too. All they want is organization. ”
“Is it on this Brixtou case that yon
are employing them?” I asked.
“Yes, there'is a point which I wish
to ascertain. It is merely a matter of
time. Hello, we are going to hear some
news now with a vengeance! Hero is
(iregsou coming down the road with
beatitudo written upon every feature of
his face. Bound for ns, I know. Yes,
ho is stopping. There he is!”
There was a violent peal at the bell,
and in a few seconds the fair haired de
tective came up the stairs, three steps
at a time, and burst into our sitting
room.
“My dear fellow', ” ho cried, wringing
Holmes’ unresponsive hand, “congratu
late me. I have made the whole thing
as clear as day!”
A shade of anxiety seemed to mo to
cross my companion’s expressive face.
“Do you mean that you are on the
right track?” he asked.
“The right track! Why, sir, w T e have
the man under lock and key. ”
“And his name is?”
“Arthur Charpentier, sublieutenant
in her majesty’s navy,” cried Gregson
pompopsly, rubbing his fat hands and
inflating his chest.
Sherlock Holmes gavo a sigh of relief
and relaxed into a smile.
“Take a scat and try one of these
cigars,” he said. “Wo are anxious to
know how you managed it. Will you
have somo whisky and water?”
“I don’t mind if I do,” the detective
answered. “Tbo tremendous exertions
which I have gone through during the
last day or two have worn mo out. Not
so much bodily exertion, you under
stand, as the strain upon the mind. You
will appreciate that, Mr. Sherlock
Holmes, for we are both brain work
ers. ’ ’
“You do me too much honor,” said
Holmes gravely. “Let us hear how you
arrived at this most gratifying result.”
Tho detective seated himself in the
armchair and puffed complacently at
his cigar. Then suddenly lie slapped his
thigh in a parbxysm of amusement.
“The fun of it is,” he cried, “that
that fool Lestrade, w’lio thinks himself
so smart, has gone off upon tho wrong
track altogether. He is after the secre
tary, Stangersou, who had no more to
do with the crime than a babe unborn.
I have no doubt that lie has caught him
by this time. ”
Tho idea tickled Grcgscu so much
that he laughed until he choked.
“And how did you get your clew?”
“Ah, I’ll tell you all j about it. Os
course, l)r. Watson, this is strictly be
tween ourselves. Tho first difficulty
which we had to contend with was the
finding of this American's antecedents.
Some peoplo would have waited until
their advertisements were answered, or
until paities came forward and volun
teered information. That is not Tobias
Gregson’s way of going to work. Yon
remember the hat beside the dead man?”
“Y’es, ” said Holmes; “by John Un
derwood & Sons, 129 Camberwell road. ”
Gregson looked quite crestfallen.
“I had no idea that you noticed that,”
he said. “Have you been there?”
“No.”
“Ha!” cried Gregson, in a relieved
voica “You should never neglect a
chance, however small it may seem.”
“To a great mind nothing is little,”
remarked Holmes sententiously.
“Well, I went to Underwood, and
asked him if he had sold a hat of that
size and description. He looked over his
books and came on it at once. He had
sent the hat to a Mr. Drabber, residing
atCliarpentier’s boarding establishment,
Torquay Terrace. Thus I got at his ad
dress. ’ ’
“Smart—very smart!” murmured
Sherlock Holmes.
“I next called upon Mine. Charpen
tier, ” continued the detective. “I found
her very pale and distressed. Her daugh
ter was in the room, too—an uncommon
ly fine girl she is too. She was looking
red about the eyes, and her lips trem
bled as I spoke to her. That didn’t es
cape my notice. I began to smell a rat.
You know the feeling. Mr. Sherlock
Holmes, when you come upon the right
scent —a kind of thrill in your nerves.
‘Have you heard of the mysterious death
of your late boarder, Mr. Enoch J. Dreb
ber of Cleveland?’ I asked.
’ ‘The mother nodded. She didn't seem
able to get out a word. The daughter
burst into tears. I felt more than ever
that these people knew something of the
matter.
“ 'At what o'clock djd Mr. Drebber
leave your house for tho train?’ I asked.
“ ‘At S o’clock, ’ she said, gulping in
her throat to keep down her agitation.
‘His secretary, Mr. Stangerson, said
that there were two trains—one at 9:15
and one at 11. He was to catch the first’
“ ‘And was that the last which you
saw of him?’
“A terrible change came over the wo
man's face as I asked the question. Her
features turned perfectly- livid. It was
some seconds before she could get out
the second word, ‘Yes, ’ and when it did
come it was in a husky, unnatural tone.
‘ 'There was silence for a moment, and
then the daughter spoke in a calm, cleat
voice.
"‘Nogc- ever come of falsehoc
mother,’s. Ac- frank.w
this gentle. We did .ee Mr. l>r

VALUABLE INFORMATION GIVEN
Why So Few Sheep Are Railed In Georgia.
More About the Wire Cotton Tie —Jeru-
salem Artichokes as a Food For Hogs
and How to Plant Them —Importance of
the Selection of Good Seed.
Question.— -Why is it that in Georgia,
many parts of which state are pecu
liarly adapted to sheep raising, there are
so few sheep raised? One would suppose
that if properly managed it could be
made a most profitable business.
Answer. —ln southern Georgia there
are a good many sheep raised. Several
years ago one of the largest sheep own
ers there reported that he clipped an
nually 90 cents worth of wool from
sheep, which cost him only 14 cents a
head in expenses. There is only one
reason why sheep husbandry is not one
of the leading industries of the state,
and that is, there is no law for their
protection against the dogs which roam
at will through the country. It has
been said by men of experience that one
acre well sodded in Bermuda grass will
support five sheep nine mouths of each
year. This was ou ordinary land, which
had not yielded profitable returns in
other crops. For the remaining three
months we have other crops, such, as
rye, turnips, barley, potatoes and the
hardy native grasses, all of which can be
grown in abundance. The sheep more
than pay for their keep in the increased
fertility of land on which they are folded.
One hundred sheep reeularly folded
will fertilize eight acres of land to such
a degree as will enable it to double the
crops produced on it. Besides the added
value to the lands in the droppings we
have the crop of wool and the in rease of
the flock, which last may be reasona
bly calculated as 90 per cent of the
whole. Nor are these all. The charac
ter of tho crops required to support tho
sheep are just those needed to recuper
ate our too often exhausted lauds. Ber
muda is particularly adapted to these
lands and the grass roots serve to hold
the soil together and prevent the wash
ing away of the accumulating vegeta
ble matter. Many worn fields could be
thus rehabilitated, that now offer no
encouragement to cultivation in other
crops. We trust the day will dawn
when the present difficulties in the way
of successful sheep raising will be re
moved, aud instead of about 500,000, the
present number of sheep in the state,
Goorgia will contain at least 3,000,000
or 4,000,000. Our mild winters and
early springs givo us many advantages,
of which growers north of us are de
prived. Iu some sections of the state
the sheep receive no attention beyond
the annual clipping, aud until the price
of wool was so much reduced they were
even under this careless management
found profitable. If more attention
were given to raising crops for them, to
improving the breeds, and to the gen
eral care of the flocks, there is no rea
son, except the one mentioned, why
sheep raising should not be made profit
able iu our section. Au experienced
sheep raiser in Southeastern Georgia
once said to me, that it was cheaper in
that section to raise a sheep than a
chicken, because the chickens had to be
fed, while the only attention the sheep
received was au occasional salting.

llow to Tell the Age of Sheep.
Question. —How can I tell the age of
sheep?
Answer.— By examining the front
teeth. The first year, eight small teeth
make their appearance. The second
year the two middle ones are shed, and
two teeth of much larger size take their
place. The third year two other small
teeth are shed, one on each side of the
two center teeth, and they are replaced
by two large teeth; thus giving them
four large teeth in front, on each side
of which are two small, pointed ones.
In the fourth year, this process is re
peated, the animal then having six large
teeth in front, flanked on each side by
one small tooth. In the fifth year the
last of the small teeth are lost, and are
replaced by large ones, thus giving them
eight large front teeth. In the sixth
or seventh year, they generally begin
to drop out, and if not they will begin
to break or st ow signs of wearing.—
State Agricultural Department.
Wire Ties,
Question. —I notice that there is
much complaint from compresses as to
the wire ties with which some of the
cotteu has been baled. Are these the
same ties of which you speak in your
last month’s report, or are there other
patents on the market?
Answer.— There have been several
ties used, all more or less unsatisfactory
on account of the inflexible quality of
the wire, light weight and inconvenient
methods of fastening. Most of these
are single, large wires, without bncklea
or other means of fastening quickly and
securely. The Hitt patent wire tie, to
which we called attention last month,
consists of two flexible wires, with pat
ent buckle, which oan be quickly and
securely adjusted, and weighs 50 pounds
to the bundle. Wherever this has been
tried it has proven not only equal to,
but superior in many respects, to the
flat tie. Had it been patented earlier in
the season, there is no doubt that it
would have been largely used, but it j
was perfected too late to be used on this
year's cr p. Many merchants, ginuers
and compress companies had laid in a
stock of the flat ties and were not will- !
lug to try the wire. It will, however, j
be given a thorough test during the j
present season at compresses in the
different sections of the south, and an
other year it will doubtless be a strong
competitor against the flat tie. Be
sides, the reasons giveu by compress
men for its adoption is the fact that no
special machinery is required for its
manufacture. —State Agricultural De
partment.
Artichokes to Fatten rio^s.
Question. —Are Jerusalem artichokes
good to fatten hogs? If so how are they
planted?
Answer. —A few years ago the Jeru
salem artichoke seemed to be making
its way into favor with the farmers;
but. of late little is said about it. It is
highly recommended as a fattening
food, not only for hogs, but also for
homes, cattle or sheep. It costs but little
to raise them; they will grow ou almost
any soil if not wet. They are said to
yield two or three times as much as po
tatoes, and they are easily stored and
kept. With these advantages I think
they should be planted more largely.
The great objection urged against them,
is the difficulty of getting rid of them,
once they are planted; but my opinion
is that a few hogs confined to the patch
of artichokes would soon fmd every
tuber that had been overlooked in gath
ering. They may be planted iu drills,
three feet apart aud two feet in the
drill. Plant whole small tubers, aud
cut the large ones as you would Irish
potatoes. Cultivate as you would corn.
They do best on a rich, mellow, light
soil, and the laud should be prepared
and manured as you would for Irish
potatoes. This plant is a native of Mex
ico, but has been cultivated in Europe
for more than two centuries. It grows
from five to eight feet high and is a
hardy perennial. I hope you will plaut
at lea t a patch, aud report result to the
department. State Agricultural De

Turnin'! Under I>ead Grass.
Question. —Where I planted corn this
year, I have a heavy coat of dead grass.
Would you advise burning this off, or
turning it under? Wont the burning of
the grass kill most of the seed, and ben
efit me in that way?
Answer. —By all means turn under
the dead grass instead of burning it off.
It is to a small extent a fertilizer, and
if it does no other good, it at least adds
mechanically in loosening up and mak
ing the soil more porous, so that air aud
moisture can more easily reach the roots
of plants. The burning of the grass
would undoubtedly kill some of the
grass seed, but the heat is too shoi't-lived
to kill them all, and next spring when
cotton-hoeing time comes, you would not
miss those ruined by the fire. Lay it
down as a general rule, never to burn
off your fields, but always turn under
all vegetable matter, even if it is dry
and dead, and the more you can turn
under the better for your land, espe
cially if it is a stiff clay.—State Agri
cultural Department.
Fertilizing Peaoli Orchard*.
Question. —Should peach orchards be
fertilized, and if so, what would be a
good formula?
Answer. —lt has not been very usual
for our peach growers to fertilize their
orchards with special reference to the
trees and their fruit. As a rule the fer
tilizing has been done to promote the
growth of some crop requiring shallow
cultivation, such as cotton or ground
peas, and the fertilizer applied to these
crops, between the rows of peach trees,
has usually been considered enough for
tho trees, with perhaps the addition of
a little ground bone applied immediately
around the tree. This plan is not con
ducive to either healthy trees or flue
fruit. Fertilizing the peach orchard is
as essential to success, as fertilizing the
garden or the cotton field. As you
would not expect to make fine cabbages
or onions on poor land, neither need you
expect fine peaches from an impover
ished and worn out soil. Fertilizing
the peach trees, not only improves the
fruit both in size and flavor, but it gives
vigor and health to the trees, and thus
to some extent enables them to resist
the attacks of insect enemies, always
ready to pounce upon and destroy any
tree that shows signs of loss of vitality
or strength. Nitrogen, potash and
phosphoric acid are as essential to the
perfect growth of peach trees, as they
are to any of the cereal crops. The use
of large quantities of nitrogen should
be avoided, as an excessive growth of
leaves aud wood, would be the result,
with deteriorated fruit. Generally
speaking, sufficient nitrogen can be sup
plied, by planting peas in the orchard
annnally, and giving them clean culti
vation. If, however, the trees show want
of vigorous growth, apply from 75 to
100 pounds of nitrate of soda, or its
equivalent in cottonseed meal, or dried
blood, per acre. Potash may with great
benefit be used liberally on land devoted
to peaches, especially after the trees
have commenced to bear. This can be
supplied, by muriate, or sulphate of pot
ash, by kainit or by ashes. While phos
phoric acid is perhaps of less importance
on most lands, than potash, it should by
no means be omitted, if yon wish to im
prove both the health and the fruitful
ness of your peach trees. Late experi
ments seem to prove that proper manur
ing, not only adds greatly to the crop,
but a’:so to the Ufa of tha trsa. To il
lustrate this, one of the most profitable
peach orchards in New Jersey received
annually 200 pounds nitrate of soda, 200
pounds ground bone, 200 pounds acid
phosphate anu 200 pounds nitrate of pot
ash. This from the time the trees were
3 years old, until now they are 12 years
old, with no signs of decay, where the
average life of a peach tree is only 8
years. The following figures taken
from the New Jersey Experiment Sta
tion report will will show the yield with
and without manure:
The yield without manure:
Baskets
per acre
ISS4-1593. inelusivo, 10 years, aver
age per year <50.3.
The yield with complete chemical
manure:
Baskets
per acre
1881-1893, inclusive, 10 years, aver
age per year 183.4.
You will thus so 3 that by the proper
use of fertilizers the crop was increased
800 per cent annually. During the ten
years, the fertilized orchard received 250
pounds of nitrogen, 560 pounds of phos
phoric acid, and 750 pounds of potash.
In your case, supply the nitrogen by
sowing peas, and you will o ily have to
buy the potash and acid phosphate.—

Hi tits on l>reakiii£ Land.
Question. —My crops are all gath
ered; I have sowed my oats and
wheat, now would it not be a good idea
for me to break my land for next year’s
crop?
Answer. —Your crops being all gath
ered, by all means start at once to break
your land for another year. Many of
our farmers, when their crops aro
housed, make the serious mistake of
waiting until spring before starting
their plows, This mistake frequently
results in serious loss, for should th >
spriug be dry, the ground, packed by
the heavy winter rains, becomes so hard
that it is impossible to break it properly
and the result is that they are forced to
plant on poorly prepared ground.
The old adage that “a crop well
planted is half made” is perfectly true,
therefore “take time by the forelock,”
and go to work at once preparing your
land for another crop. In doing this
work don’t follow the too common plan
of simply scratching the surface as it
were, but get your piows deep into the
ground, bringing to the surface, if pos
sible, not less than an inch of the sub
soil, upon which the sun has never
shone. At the same time turn under
everything that is on the surface, such as
grass, cornstalks cottoiistalks, poaviuos,
etc. Burn nothing, except in excep
tional cases, where on very rich laud
the' cottoiistalks have growu so large
that burning is necessary to get rid of
them.
Our farmers, as a rule, do not appre
ciate the importance of this deep fall
plowing. The advantages of it are nu
merous and important. Among others,
I regard the deepeuing of the soil as
most important. Should you turn to
the surface in the spring an inch of the
red clay subsoil, it would probably be
baked into clods by the heat of the sun,
interfering with the growth and proper
cultivation of the crops through the en
tire season. Turned up, however, in
the fall this subsoil becomes disinte
grated by the frequent freezings and
thawing, and when you plow your land
in the spring it becomes thoroughly in
corporated with the top soil, adding to
its depth and fertility and thus insuring
you better crops. You see at once
that if this process is repeated annually
you will in a few years have a deep,
mellow soil, capable of withstanding
drouths, and in a condition to hold the
rain that falls upon it. There are other
advantages in fall plowing which make
it desirable.
The grass, cornstalks, etc., which are
turned under now, add to the fertility
of the land, whereas, by spring their fer
tilizing properties have been largely ex
hausted by evaporation and by leachiug
rains. Then again land that is deeply
plowed at this season will not wash so
badly as that that is left untouched.
Another very important gain is, that
your fields will be in fine tilth for your
spring preparation for planting, and
while your neighbor perhaps will find
his ground at that time, so hard that he
cannot plow it, yours so treated will be
as mellow and friable as an ash bank.
These advantages of course apply chiefly
to stiff lands, for where the soil is a deep
sand, 10 or 12 inches perhaps to the sub
soil, I can fee uo advantage in fall plow
ing, except the single one of getting the
grass, etc., turned under while yet they
have some fertilizing properties.
I trust that the farmers of this state will
generally try fall plowing at once, this
year being peculiarly favorable for it,
the crops having been gathered so un
usually early. I am fully satisfied that
it needs but a fair trial, to become the
rule, instead of the exception, as at pres
ent. —State Agricultural Department.
Inspection of Gaano.
Question. —Is guano inspected at the
factories in bulk, or where do the in
spectors get their samples? Under the
present inspection system, is there much
room for fraudulent guano to be sold in
Georgia?
Answer. —Some years since it was
the practice for the inspectors to take
samples from the guano in bulk in the
factories, but that method has been posi
tively prohibited by order of this de
partment. Now the inspectors take
samples wherever they find the goods—
in the warehouses, in the farmers’ wag
ons—on the farms, or in freight cars.
The manufacturers of course cannot
know, from what sacks, samples will be
taken, and are therefore compelled to
make their goods equal to the guarantee
that the lav/ requires them to braud ou
their sacks. I will say 1o e, however,
that from my acquaintance with the
guano manufacturers, I consider them
as honest and honorable in their busi
ness dealings, as any men in the state,
and the suspicions entertained against
them, is in most cases entirely un
founded. The manufacturers are re
quired by law to notify this department
of every shipment made by them, giv
ing the name of the goods shipped, to
whom sent and the number of sacks, iu
the shipment. They are also required
by law to have a tag ou eacdi sack or
barrel in which they ship their goods,
which shows that said goods are regis
tered with this department. These tags
cost the manufacturers 10 coutsfor each
tou of guano sold. This trifling ex
pense adds nothing to the cost of the
goods to the purchasers, aud yet the ag
gregate amount received from the sale
of tags, pays the salaries and expenses
of the inspectors, tho salaries of the state
chemist and his two associates, the sal
aries of the commissioner and his clerk,
and in addition to all this, turns over a
largo amount to the public school fund.
This state uses more commercial fertili
zers than any other state in the Union,
indeed almost twice as much at any
other; and the mode of taking samples,
and making analyses, affords better pro
tection to the fanners, than the methods
adopted in any other state. Were there
no inspection or analyses made, the state
would be flooded with worthless fertili
zers, which the farmers could not dis
tinguish from honest goods. The in
spectors are all sworn officials of the
state, and are selected for their fitness
for the work. The safeguards thrown
around this business in this state are so
many, and so carefully prepared, that
there is practically no chance for worth
less fertilizers to be sold within our
borders, without detection. To show
the great increase in the fertilizer busi
ness, and consequently tho greater ne
cessity of careful inspection, I append
a table showing the number of tons in
spected for each of the last 21 seasons:
Season of 1874-5 48,648.00 tons
Season of 1875-6 65,316.00 tons
Season of 1876-7 75,824.00 tons

Good Seed For Planting.
Question. —Is the selection of good
seed for planting as important as many
think?
Answer. —Good seed is the very first
requisite for a good crop, but a great
number of farmers are very indifferent
on this point, seeming to think that any
seed of a given plant will produce a good
crop. There could be no greater mis
take. For instance, take seed of oats or
wheat that has been cut when the grain
was only half ripe, and what is the re
sult? There is an immediate deteriora
tion in the crop, the yield diminishes,
and smut and rust are greatly increased.
Let your seed for planting be always
fully matured aud ripened, that the re
sulting crop may have iu it but few im
perfect plants. Seed corn should not be
selected in the crib, but in the field,
where the stalk as well as the ear can
be seen, and where by judicious and
persistent selection, great improvement
in size of ear and early maturity can be
attained. There is much room for im
provement in the way we select our cot
tonseed for planting, aud with more
care iu this respect we could considera
bly increase our cottou crop.—State Ag
ricultural Department.
Stocking a Fish Pornl.
Question. —Ou my farm I have just
completed a fish pond, covering about
au acre, and from Ito 6 feet deep. How
can I get some fish to stock it, aud what
kind would you recommend?
Answer. —Captain J. D. Edmondson
of LaGrange is the fish superintendent
for this state and you should write to
him on the subject. Carp and tench
have been the fish most usually selected
for our ponds, on account of the ease
with which they thrive and multiply,
but they are poor fish for the table, and
I would recommend for your pond the
black bass or trout aud the bream, both
of which are very fine table fish, and
being very game, afford much sport in
the catching. If the government does
not distribute these last, you might find
out from the fish superintendent where
they can be obtained. The speckled
catfish is also a good pond fish. —State
Agricultural Department.
Balking Horse*.
Question. —How do horses acquire
the habit of balking, and can they be
cured of it?
Answer. —The balking habit in horses
is not a natural or inherited one, but is
taught them through bad or careless
driving. When first acquired, by ex
ercising great care, this fault may be
corrected. Never whip a balky horse
or use any harsh means whatever to
subdue him. Nothing but gentle means
will avail anything, unless you want to
utterly ruin the animal. When thu
bad habit is once thoroughly acquired,
it is considered incurable and the ani
mal is rendered almost worthless.—State
