Male applicants may enter the navy betw een the ages of 14 and 35 year-. Boys between 14 and 17 years old can enlist only as apprentices. While in the army the private, soldier may rise to a major generalship, in the navy the limit of the bluejacket’s possi¬ ble promotion is the position of warrant officers, as gunner, boatswain, carpenter. The highest, pay of a warrant officer is 81,300 a year. Bluejackets are better paid than sol¬ diers iu the United States service, and when in active service have what the. soldier is seldom Sure of, the assurance of good food and comfortable quarters,. A landsman in the navy receives in the beginning |16 a month, and his pay in¬ creases at each stop of bis promotion to the rank of ordinary and of able seaman. From Key West to Havana is a dis¬ tance of 00 miles measured iu a direction almost, due south. To cruise on a warship in the Oarib- bean sea is a far more healthful and pleasant business than to campaign on land. It is cooler upon the water, there are no venomous reptiles or insects to make life a burden and but little liability of malarial or epidemic diseases. For fighting m warm climates the United States seamau wears a uniform of white—canvas jumper, canvas trou¬ sers, knitted watch cap or white canvas hat, black necktie and lanyard with knife. For boarding or repelling boarders in a naval engagement the United States sailor is provided with a revolver and cutlass. When landed as infantry he carries a Lee magazine rifle. There is nothing cleaner than the decks and equipment of a warship. All woodwork is scrubbed and brass work po isn it oat.y, , and theie is . end to no paiuting and scraping and to the chip plug of fust from anchors and cables. The Fajsef You Sign. Commanding officers of the companies says tho News, have been provided with the enrollment sheets, and they are now busy getting them filled out. Volunteers have to sign the roll. It will be interesting to know just what the obligation is to the men who enlist.

Now that war with Spain bus been definitely decided on, the gravity of the situation demands that we, as farmers, give i urserves to a, careful study oi its hearings on our agricultural interests, b°th individual and collective. The opinion among competent army and navy experts seems to be gaining ground that the campaign, after hostilities ac- tually begin, will be neither short nor en.sy, and , it .. may drag- , along , for months, Under these apprehensions what is our plain duty?. What do we owe to our- selves, our families, our country? While our army and navy on land and sea are enforcing a recognition of the great principles . . , of . , human independence, . , , what are we farmers to do? How can we help m the struggle 2 that is to set r Cuba , . free? . ~ -nr We are to supply -j not , only , the , homo demands , to for • • but , , provisions, we arc to supply the “smews of war to our armies m the held by a bound* ful „ , food n , ^ Besides ., the , usual . home , crop. demand , , there ,, will n bo i a i heavy demand n for - breadstuns , , , « and . . . ^ feed . provisions to our armies. Should 7 peace be declared . . without , , hostilities ...... the ., dernahd , will ... still . . be , heavy. rni There will , be X1 thousands . of „ , homeless, , helpless t , . people , in . Cuba ^ . x to . be x 1 fed. , , Thus m either event, x peace, war or all n surplus , supplies will find a ready , .imda , profitable o. , -i market. i . nn Therefore, p if YvO , have not . already , , done , should . so, we put in an unusually heavy provision crop, even it we have.to appropriate for this purpose some of tlie acres intended for, or already planted in cotton. efpkcit of the wau on cotton. When a farmer sots himself fora band to hand struggle with an overwhelming cotton crop, he necessarily consigns the provision crop—the broad and meat supply—to the domain of chance. Under present- conditions every consideration of self interest, every prompting of pat.ri- otlsm appeals against such a course, The generally accepted idea of war, ag- rioulturally speaking, is cheap cotton and high provisions. A war with Spain would almost paralyze our cotton trade, while the price of provisions would ad¬ vance. In view of those facts, what will be tlie fate of the man who pro¬ duces a large cotton crop, for which he will get a low price, and who depends cn buying the whole or even part of needed provisions for which he will pay a high price'? It is scarcely necessary to say, and while he has injured him- self, he has also, to a certain degree, in- jured Ms state and country, both of which are now looking to him to do his duty in the struggle which is upon us. I know that some farmers may argue that as the general crop may be much reduced, now is the time to take tho chance and put every available acre iu cotton, but there was never a graver mistakc. If over there was a year to j increase the food crops and decrease tho ! cotton, this is the year, for tho reasons already given. THE FLOOR IN THE MISSISSIPPI also furnishes another argument with some farmers for planting a large cot- ton crop in Georgia. They reason that it will be so late when the cotton crops in the fertile Mississippi valley are planted, that, tho yield will bo very much cut off. But they forget that in the year just past, there was an almost uu- precedented flood in the valley and that the crop of ’07 was delayed almost later than was ever known before, certainly much later than the present flood can possibly do. Levees were swept away, property was destroyed and the making of a cotton crop in that section seemed an almost hopeless undertaking. Geor- gians and farmers in other states pro- sumed oh this and put in a big crop, but the valley planters were also busy. 8ev- tSyWopnt^Mg was“h2 lameTf crop aTTThef^n eralcotffT reimeme mu crop on record and ruinously low prices. At present THE PRICE OP COTTON IS ADVANCING and this also may allure the unwary farmer into the error of overcropping himself. I have always maintained that the true policy is to provide bountifully for every need of the farm, and then to put in just as much cotton as can be well managed. And that rule still holds good. The man who does this is Safe in any event, be the price of cotton high or low, becpaise he,is not compelled to sell himself to the provision dealer or merchant for bread and meat. He is also in a position' to exercise Ms judg- ment Sell in the hold, dirpgpal circumstances < f bis cotton to or to as sag- gost. Were every farmer thus hide- pendent the control of the cotton mar- ket would be virtually where of tho it be- longs—that is in tho bauds pro- nncers—rather than ot the men who iVal in “futures.” It lias been well said, and it has come to be a fact, that hot supply and demand for spot cotton affect ;hc price, but supply and demand for “tulures’ establish the price, and this “future” market is controlled by professional which operators and possible mauipu- tutors, could not be able wore each indiririoal farmer to sell or j j of the entire cotton crop being on the market within a certain period, that i tliey farmers’labor actuaU y *oll 12 months the results in advance of the 1 i I And ho far, the farmers have quietly submitted. Why? Because their short- sighted policy has rendered them pow- ! ^ die compelled for< o their cotton oil tho markets early ] in the season and the speculator* thus become masters of the situation.

Qt i.siioN.- ihere is a bug eating up 2eml'there° any°’‘sure remedy "What for them, and if so what is it? is the name, of the bug? Answer.—T he insect you enclose is called the Colorado potato beetle, and is very destructive to the Irish potato crop, They have only appeared in Georgia during the last few years, but are how thoroughly domiciled, and for- timate is the owner whose patch or field of Irish potatoes is not attacked by them. They should bo attacked on their first appoaraneo, as they multiply rapidly, and any delay renders it more difficult to get riel of them. They may easily be distinguished from the striped ,, buster , beetle (also to the an enemy po-. tato plant, but less destructive), the lat- j ter being much more slender in body and longer, with longer legs, greater activity and more ready to take flight. A very effective remedy against the Colorado beetle, especially on first, appearance, m to pick them off by hand, at tho game time destroying their eggs, which may ho found on the under side of the potato leaves in masses, and are easily recog* nixed by their orange color. The usual ■ remedy is to dust or spray the plants with either Paris green or Loudon pttr- 1 plo. If dusting is preferred use one part of the poison to five parts of flour and two to three parts of air slacked lime or finely sifted ashes. Apply wit h a sifter or perforated pan. If spraying is preferred use 0 to 7 ounces of cither poison to 50 gallons of water. Most persons prefer London purple because of its cheapness and better mechanical condition, being a§ a j-nle more finely powdered than the Rms r> • ^' eon - m Iheso appbeatxons ,. ,. may have to be repeated two or three times during the season, Remember that Paris green and Lon¬ don purple are both deadly poisons, and should bo handled most carefully. In dusting apply in the morning, while the dew is on tho plants.—State Agrieult- ural Department. To Distinguish the English Walnut Scale From the San Jose Scale. t,l<!

Question. —- Although I have suc- ceeded iu raising very largo crops of to- “(aloes, I have had great difficulty in “me uto smooth j a large per cent are rough and nnoven, which, of course, injures their market, j qualities. It you can give me some hints to enable me to overcome these | drawbacks, I will be greatly obliged. j Answer. —While tomatoes will grow and produce abundantly on any medium : soil, there is one essential to their suc¬ I cessful cultivation, and that is very thorough preparation. If tho land is subsoiled so much tho better, and it. should then he harrowed and reliar rowed until not a lump remains. It is not necessary to broadcast the manure if a complete commercial fertilizer, with a preponderance of potash and phos¬ phoric acid, is used. Use a handful of this, a handful of wood ashes and « lablospoptifnl ot nitrate of soda to each plant, being careful to mix thoroughly with tho soil, and to prevent any of these ingredients touching tho plant. After the plants are set, that is iu two or three days, give thorn a thorough Working with tho harrow, or cultivator, and, of course, tho weeds are to be kept down throughout the growing season. When tho fruit begins to sot repeat the application of fertilizer. By this plan the plants are strong and stocky and tho fruit abundant and evenly developed. Stable manure may be used, but it should be thoroughly decomposed, made fine and mixed with tho soil. If the plants are troubled with insect enemies they should he sprayed according to tho j directions wo have frequently given.— j State Agricultural Department.

It generally dries oil’ some time in May. Answer. —There aro two or three plans by which yon can make such land profitable, but the foundation of each is thorough preparation. As soon as it ia dry enough to bo worked, plow it, that is, break it up deeply and thoroughly and harrow until smooth. Now sow it in peas, some upright variety which can bo cut for hay. When these are taken off plow and harrow again and set in Bermuda grass. It will make a perma¬ nent pasture, or royal hay. Some of the finest Bermuda bay is produced on just such lauds in this stato. Another plan, which wo have seen highly- recommended, is tho following: After the preparatory plowing and harrowing, keep down tho weeds by harrowing once a week until the mid¬ dle of June, then sew in millet, a bushel to the acre if grown for seed, a bushel and a half if grown for hay—tlio Ger¬ man millet if the seed is to bo used, the Hungarian if for hay. When this crop is taken off go over tho field two or three times with a cutaway harrow in opposite directions so as to thoroughly break up the surface. Repeat this op¬ eration every week or ten days until the middle of September, and then sow timothy at the rate of a third of a bushel to tho aero, with 850 pounds of fertilizer, harrowing it in lightly. By either plan you will have a permanent : j meadow, which can be grazed or out as j j you prefer—State Agricultural Depart- merit. Effect of Mineral Manures. Question.—D exhaust the o mineral manures tend to nitrogen in the soil? Answer.—T he mineral manures ena¬ ble* the plants to make uso of the nitric acid that is in the soil. Indeed, if they are absent, the crops cannot take up this nitric acid, no matter how great tho amount that is diffused through thenoli. Therefore tho mineral manures cannot be strictly said to- exhaust tho nitrogen, for although they cause the plants to j tako pa larger amoun t than they other-’ | | exhaustion, would, as this tho does the minerals not increase only the ar- rest and hold for the use of tho crops that which would otherwise bo washed aw .._g toto Agricultural Department.
