Jackson-Messrs. Thompson and Jackson will endeavor to supply efficient help in all lines of work and the exchange will undoubtedly be of much service to those out of employment or seeking more lucrative places. The management is endeavoring to get into touch with all the big firms of the city and will be of much assistance to the Negroes of the city provided the management is able to carry out their plans. Mrs. A. S. Lloyd of 736 Waldburg street, east, will leave on Sunday for Port Royal and Braufort.

Washington will regret to learn of his death which occurred Saturday morning at 3 o'clock at his home on Prince street, after an illness of three weeks. His death came as a shock. Mr. Washington was esteemed very highly by both races. He was about 27 years of age and has lived in Beaufort for more than nine years, where he made a host of friends. He was a very prominent member of Acme Lodge K. of P. No. 78. The funeral services which were held at his home Saturday morning, were conducted by Rev. A. W. Waller, pastor of the F. A. B. church. He was laid to rest at his old home Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Cemetery, Keans Neck, with Pythian honors. The funeral was in charge of Jas. Riley and Son embalmers and undertakers.

Mrs. Lucy Mitchell and her daughter, Miss Jestine, left for Fall River, N. Y., last week, where they will remain for the summer. Mr. R. N. Moore and his wife, Mrs. Eliza Moare, have been very sick for the past two weeks at their home on Charles street.

A. W. Waller officiating. Hon. J. I. Washington, for more than 11 years deputy collector at this Port, resumes his law practice after July 15th at which time his office as deputy collector will be abolished by a recent act of Congress, putting the Beaufort office under the district of Charleston Hon.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1913 Charity Hospital Makes Appeal ASKS FRIENDS TO CONTRIBUTE FOR FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS Operating Room Enameled and Sky Light Placed in—Hospital to be Moved to Allow Street Opening—Campaign for Funds Started During the past three weeks Charity Hospital, 30th and Florence streets, has been undergoing several improvements, which have added materially to the looks and effectiveness of the institution. Chief among these improvements have been the enameling of the walls and ceiling of the operating room and the placing therein of a sky light. For some time the hospital staff has been greatly inconvenienced in performing operations on account of a lack of light in the operating room, due to the condition of the room and the fact that there was no means of admitting light through the ceiling. Therefore, the recent improvements have eliminated this inconvenience and made it one of the most modern operating rooms to be found in the city. Further improvements to the hospital are anticipated by the board of trustees. These include the enlarging of the institution, the purchasing of the adjoining lot and moving of the building about ten feet to the front and about an equal distance to the castward, caused by the opening up of Thirty-fifth street lane and the widening of Florence street. Recently there has been organized by the institution an association of former students and graduates of the nurse training department, whose object it is to further the interests of the hospital and assist in raising funds. This association met last Wednesday afternoon and authorized certain members to collect subscriptions from friends of the institution. In order to effect the contemplated plans of the institution a considerable amount of money is needed, and it is thought that the friends of the institution will rally to its support and assist in raising the needed money. There has been established a "Permanent Improvement Fund" to the institution and the money given by friends will apply directly to this fund. Those who are authorized by the hospital association to solicit subscriptions to this fund are Mrs. A. E. Randolf, Mrs. George LeGare, Mrs. A. B. G. Carr, Mrs. Mintie Cannal, Mrs. Sarah Haywood, Mrs. L. A. Newton, Miss Maria Gardeen, Miss Georgia Saunders, Miss A. E. Williams, Mrs. S. Louise Maiden, Mrs. L. E. Wilson and the members of the hospital staff. The next meeting of the association will be on the 30th of this month. The Carnegie Library Fund The Curators through the secretary, Prof. H. Pearson, acknowledge the following contributions to the Carnegie Library Fund: Mr. Walter S. Scott $40 completing his subscription of $50.00; Boys of Pleasure $2.50 completing their subscription of $5 00 Mr. Scott's contribution is the largest to made by any individual or society. Who next? Mr. Scott is lonesome; who will join his society? It costs only $50.00. H. Pearson, Sec'ty. Must Treat All Patrons Courteous COMPANY WILL NOT TOLE- RATE MIS-TREATMENT OF NEGROES Reprimands Conductor Who Mistreats Colored Girl—Em- ployees Must be Courteous to Both Colored and White Patrons. That the Savannah Electric Company means for all of its employees to be courteous to all patrons of its lines was unmistakably shown in a letter from the acting manager of the company to Mr. J.C. Lindsay who protested against the discourteous treatment of a Negro girl who was riding home on a Battery Park car on the night of the 5th of this month and who was spoken to by the conductor of the car on which she was riding in a very discourteous manner. Mr. Lindsay who was riding home on the car which the Negro girl boarded, and overheard the insulting remarks which the conductor addressed to her, spoke to the conductor of his mistreatment of the young woman, but the reply which he received from the conductor was of a very aggravating sort, and he (Mr. Lindsay) therefore, wrote to the manager of the company, protesting against the unwarranted and discourteous treatment which the conductor accorded the young lady and also himself. The reply which Mr. Lindsay received from his letter shows that the management of the company will not countenance any unfair or discourteous treatment to any of its patrons and that they all, both colored and white, must be treated with utmost courtesy by the employees of the line. The communication of Mr. Lindsay, telling of the incident which happened on the car. and the reply of Acting Manager H. C. Foss are as follows: "Savannah, Ga., July 8, 1913. "The Manager, "Sav'h Electric Co. "Cit "Dear Sir: "Saturday, July 8th, at 9:45 p.m., a Negro girl boarded a Battery Park car, No. 454, at the corner of Duffy and West Broad streets, and handed the conductor, whose cap number was 50, her transfer in payment of her fare, and quietly took a back seat. It became necessary for the car to wait at the corner of Anderson and West Broad streets, until the car which was at the south end of the line pass. While waiting there, the Negro girl took out her change, and began counting it, and the conductor who seemed to have been a new man, stood up over the girl, reaching out his hand and remarking to the girl, 'Haven't you looked at that little money long enough?' She thereupon inquired of him, 'How did that matter concern you?' He (the conductor) remarked that he wanted his fare. She assured him that she had paid upon entering the car, with a transfer ticket, and asked him if he did not remember it. He thereupon acknowledged the payment, but said, 'You niggers is such dead beats, is why I asked you again.' "About this time the motorman heard his loud mouthing.jn the rear and came to the rear end of the car and asked what his trouble was. After being told, he smiled and returned to the front end. "I then made the remark to the conductor that I thought it very SACRED CONCERT AT FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH TOMORROW Mr. Spelghts to be Leading Sololists On to-morrow afternoon as 4:30 o'clock there will be a sacred concert at the First Congregational church. The main feature of the program will be Mr. William Speights of Boston, Mass. Mr. Speights is one of the best known Negro tenor soloists in the country, and as was demonstrated several months ago in his recital here at the Beach Institute, possesses a voice of great range and sweetness. Mr. Speights will render several selections and the best local talent will appear on the program. Prof. R. W. Gadsden has charge of the program and a real treat awaits the crowd which will undoubtedly be out. Admission is free, but there will be a silver offering taken. Six Pass Teachers' Examination Of the applicants who stood the teachers' examination for positions in the Chatham county schools, six succeeded in passing. They are Misses Clinton Dingle, Frederica Johnson, Harriet Jones, Delphene Stoney, Mattie Victory and Dorothy Williams. Among those to resign from the system is Mrs. Florence H. Robinson, for many years a teacher in the city schools. unkind in him to make such remarks to his inoffensive passenger, and especially to a female. He shouted out to me. 'What it takes to cool you and your kind, I have it in my pocket.' I assured him that his conduct would be forthwith reported to the proper authority, as the corporation did not stand for that kind of treatment to its inoffensive passengers. "In view of the fact, that I and hundreds of other Negro men and women find it absolutely necessary to use the cars daily, going to and from our work, to say nothing about our churches and various organizations, which patronize your various lines, from time, to time on outings, I consider the unwarranted conduct of this conductor outrageous and deserving, of your prompt attention. "And on behalf of my people, I feel that I would not be asking too much of you, to be assured by you, that this man, who seems to be determined and bent straining the friendly relations now existing between the intelligent and industrious portion of both races in this community, be removed from this position, where he will be forced to come in contact with an inoffensive people, for whom he shows so much intense hate. . . "I feel that your company stands ready and is willing to give to the humblest peasant a square deal. Your reply in regards to the treatment, which I may expect in the future, is anxiously awaited. "Signed J. C. Lindsay." "Savannah, Ga., July 9, 1913. "Mr.' J. C. Lindsay." "509 West Broad Street. "We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 8th, in which you report the discourteous conduct of one of our conductors on Battery Park car No. 454, on the evening of July 5th. "We have investigated the matter very carefully, and it is our belief that the conductor was courteous, and we have reprimanded him accordingly, and have explained to him carefully the absolute necessity of treating passengers, both colored, as well as white, courteously at all times. Inasmuch as it is the first report we have had against the conductor, we do not feel that it is proper to dismiss him from the service, and we hope that the means we have taken to impress the matter upon him will have good results. "We beg to assure you that it is our desire that our employees treat all passengers, whether colored or white, with the utmost courtesy. "We thank you for bringing the matter to our attention, and trust you will have no further cause for complaint. Tuskegee Band Will. Play Here TO APAEAR AT SAVANNAH THEATER NIGHT OF AUGUST 18TH Band is Composed of Forty- Seven Musicians—Tour of Band Through North and West a Great Success—Local Charities to Get Aid. On Monday night, August 18th, 1913, the people of Savannah will be given the much looked for pleasure of hearing Professor N. Clark Smith and his Tuskegee Institute Band, Orchestra and Glee Club, consisting of 47 pieces, at the Savannah Theater. The band started on June 1st, a tour of the western states, the northern and southeastern states. They have met with unstinted praise and encouragement throughout the trip in the west and are playing before crowded houses in the north. The coming of this organization, with Captain Smith at its head, is really a treat for Savannah. Captain Smith, as every one knows, stands in the forerank of Negro musicians and composers, and his knowledge and love of music he has diligently and successfully imparted to the Negro lads under him. Capt. Smith's record is an enviable one. Among his many achievements is that for four years he was band master of the 8th Regimental Illinois State Militia. He is also known and recognized as an exponent of composers of Negro folk song. Capt. Smith is an attraction by himself. The band is coming here under the auspices of the Local Branch of the National Negro Business League, of which Mr. A. B. Singfield is president, Mr. J. C. Ling-say, vice president and Mr. W. W. Hill, secretary, the names of these men guarantee you a concert of merit. A portion of the proceeds is to be given to Charity Hospital and the Old Folks' Home—two worthy charities. The Business League is not asking your support because the personnel of this band is Negroes, not because the proceeds are to be given to charity, but because they are bringing before the Negro public of Savannah an organization that know music and know how to render it. Make your reservations now. Do not wait until the last minute. For reservations, see Walter S. Scott, 468 West Broad street. Information will be gladly furnished by any member of the League: Seats 25c., 50c., 75c. Box seats $1.00. Mr. G. H. Bowen Asked to Sell Macon Real Estate On last Tuesday, Mr. G. H. Bowen made a hurried trip to Macon in response to a request of the trustees of Morris Brown College, who were meeting there. Morris Brown College owns a tract of about six hundred acres of land in East Macon, and the meeting Tuesday of the board of trustees of the university was called for the purpose of considering the advisibility of placing about one third of this tract, approximately 1000 lots, on sale. Mr. Bowen has met with much success in the sale of real estate in this city and the members of the board, feeling that he would be just the man to handle the proposition which they were about to put on the market, requested his presence at the meeting. The proposition as offered Mr. Bowen by the board is a flattering one and he has taken it under advisement. The subdivision which Mr. Bowen is asked to handle is very desirable property and the chances are more than even that if he accepts the handling of it he will be equally as successful in disposing of it as he has been in his deals in this city. Mrs. Nancy Simmons of Jacksonville. Fla., is in the city visiting Mrs. M. G. Graham, of York street, west. Prof. B. S. Ingram of Macon, Ga., Grand Master of the Odd, Fellows of Georgia, spent several days in the city this week. Monumental Church Services at the Mother Church last Sunday were grand, and all who failed to hear them missed a treat that may never be offered again. Rev. H. Henderson, of West Palm Beach, Fla., a delegate to the B. Y. P. U., preached an excellent sermon at 11 o'clock, from Timothy 2nd, chapter, 3rd, verse, subject, "Christian Endurance." Everyone was made happy by his forceful sermon. In the afternoon, the funeral of Mrs. Belle Watson, was conducted by the pastor, Rev. L. A. Townsley, assisted by Rev. James Gillens of Birmingham, Ala. The deceased was, for a number of years, associated with the Sunday school, choir, and the different boards of the church. In the evening at 8:30 o'clock, Rev. A. L. James, of Ocala, Fla., another delegate, preached a wonderful sermon. Mrs. S. A. Townsley has been quite sick, but is convalescing now. The services are always inspiring and one can find no better place to go than o the church. A cordial welcome awaits all, free pews, plenty of fans, and as fine a sermon as one can hear anywhere, with good singing to cheer one who is despondent.

He then introduced Rev. A. Hitt, of Knoxville, Tennessee, president of the State Baptist Convention of Tennessee, who preached: very pointed and striking sermon from St. John 1:38. The subject was, "Where dwellest thou." We were delighted to hear Rev. Hitt. We are always glad to welcome strangers and cheer the weary traveler.

To be a true Mason is to be a true man and a true man is God's ideal of perfection. I honor the names of the noble exemplars of its teachings, in all the ages, and I love the brothers wherever they may be found. — It is a considerable of a blunder to take out your dimit from your Lodge because you cannot have your own way, it is a mistake, because the lodge can do without you much better than you can, do without the Lodge and the Masonic tramp is not a lovely object, however you may regard him.—Los Angeles Freemason. "As Masons we should endure to cultivate a disposition that will be agreeable to all mankind. In other words, we should instill into our daily life the true teachings of Masonry, so that the prafune world can see that there is true merit in Masonry. When we do this we will have more seekers after mystic rites.—The Masonic News. It is suggested that Masonic Lodges follow the example of the churches, and hold peace meetings. Every meeting of a Masonic lodge is a peace meeting, for one of the most solemn teachings of Freemasonry is brotherly love, and that our brother belongs to every nation and every race. Masonry never, directly or indirectly, fomented a war.—Texas Freemason MASONRY IN TIME OF WAR When, after four long years of war, when hundreds of thousands of men had lost their lives struggling to capture Richmond, at last it felt, when that worn and starving "Pain Gray Lite" had crossed the river and burned the bridges, the foe came marching in as a column of cavalry 'murched up Franklin street, while the fire was raging in the city, thousands of Negroes set free in a moment, while hoodlums, spies, desetters and criminals of every sort were burning and pillaging, all law and order was gone; at this dreadful time the colonel of a regiment saw our emblems and the words "Masonic Hall." He halted the column and placed a guard, all Masons over the oldest Masonic building in America. He thus preserved records back to 1787.—Rt, Wor. Bro. Dr. Jos. W. Eggleston of Virginia. THE MASTER The lodge is ruled by a master. The word Master comes to us from the Latin Magister—a chief, director or magistrate; and ultimately from a Sanscrit word, signifying great. To this day a ruler over great territories in India is called a majharajah, or great king, just as the Persian monarch styled himself great king or king of kings. But until comparatively recent times the Lodge was ruled by a Warden. The Master was the employer or "lord" for whom the work was done. He seldom appeared among the men, though on extraordinary occasions he may have graced their meetings by his presence. At a later date, it was the custom of Masons, as of other artisans, to place themselves under the protection of some powerful men, who guarantee to them their ancient privileges and promoted their interest. If this protector appeared among them, it would be as a superior, before whom they uncovered. In some jurisdictions the Master wears his hat in open Lodge. May this not be a survival of the old habit of the master or lord remaining covered in the presence of his employees or dependents?—A. T. Freed, in Masonic Sun. TO SUBDUE OUR PASSIONS One of the objects of speculative Masonry is to learn to subdue our passions. It is truly a pitiable thing to see a man whose passions have domination over him—who is, indeed, the slave of his passions. His will power is overcome, his life is wrecked. his God-given powers are engulfed in the evil maelstrom of his unholy desires. His short life is lived to no purpose the world is worse because of his having lived in it, he is an influence for harm and not for good. Masonry is intended to strengthen the weak-willed, to aid the faltering, to give power to those who are battling bravely against their evil passions. The lesson so strongly taught in the lodge-room, the brotherly admonition outside of the lodge room, the friendly hand, the kindly aid—all these tend powerfully to assist the tempted Mason to subdue his passons and improve himself in morality. And thus may Masonry continue to assist us to daily increase in faith, hope and charity, and in every moral and social virtue.—Herald. MASONIC DATING The Masonic dating is a matter of mystery to many members. The other day, glancing up at the figures 5877, on the Masonic Temple in Rome a Mason asked me "What does that mean?" It isn't the number of the building is it?" Others have asked me what the letter A. L. after the Mosaic year means. The matter is very simple, once it is understood. To find the "Year of Light." Anno Lucis, or "A. L." used in the Blue Lodge Masonry, add 4000 to the current year, Anno Domini or A. D. The year 1913 corresponds to the Year of Light. A. L. 5913. To find the Hebrew Year, Anna Hebraico, the date, used by the Scottish Rite, add 3760 to the current year. The year 1911 corresponds to the Hebrew Years 5771-5772. To find the Year of the Discovery, Anno Inventions, used by the Royal Arch, add 530 to the current year. The year 1913 corresponds to Year of the Discovery A. I. 2433. To find the Year of the Deposit, Anno Deposition is used by Royal and Select Masters, add 1000 to the current year. The year 1913 corresponds to the Year of Deposit, A. D. 2913. To find the Year of the Order, Anno Ordinis, used by Knights Templar, subtract 1118 from the current year. The year 1913 corresponds to Year of the Order, A. O. 795. Dates of Masonic significance this year are Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Ascension Day, May 25; St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24; St. John the Evangelist's Day, December 27. Local Happenings Boiled Down to Hasty Readers. A handsome silver service was presented Editor P. A. Stovall of the Press by some of his friends.

To The Tribune: We, the members of the St. John Baptist Church, ask for a small space that we might let the public know of the misconduct of Brother. I. R. Riley, a licentiate of our church, who communed the members of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Woodbine, Ga. He communed them the first Sunday in May also the first Sunday in June. He told the people that he was ordained six years, and for such misdemeanor, we the members of St. John Baptist Church, have revoked his license and have withdrawn the right hand of fellowship from him. Iours. Rey. Wm. Gray. Sister L. Baldwin, clerk. Lesson III.—Third Quarter, For July 20, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text, of the Lesson, Ex. iii, 1-14, Memory Verses, 13.14—Golden Text, Matt. v. 8—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. How many years are often passed over in silence, as in the life of Elijah, of whom we know nothing till we see him standing before Abah, and John the Baptist, of whom we know nothing from his birth to his call to service, and those forty years of Moses' shepherd life. Thore cause a day toward the close of those forty years when Moses, having led the flock to the back side of the desert even to Boreh, the mountain of God, saw something unusual, even a bush burning, but not consumed. As he turned aside to see why the bush was not consumed God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." If Moses had not turned inside to see that great sight he might perhaps have missed the call. If we would properly consider every unusual thing that comes unto our lives we might hear the voice of God more often than we do. Note how Moses in his old age speaks of "the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush" (Deut. xxxiii, 16). Stephen in his sermon refers twice to the angel of the Lord which appeared to Moses in the bush (Acts vii, 30, 35). When Moses replied to the voice of Him that spake, saying "Here am I" or "Behold me," he was told that if it was the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob who was speaking to him, and he was told before the interview ended that this was His memorial name forever unto all generations (vvsss 6, 15, 16; iv. 5). The Lord Jesus referred to this incident at the bush in His reply to the Sadducees and used the same threefold name (Luke xii, 26, 27). The Lord after telling Moses who He was that spake to him then gave Moses to understand that it was none of his affair as to how it was to be done; he must put off his shoes, for it was a holy place, the presence of God, and He was to be the door of it all. Joshua had the same orders as he was about to lead Israel into the promised land (Josh. v, 15). The key to the meaning of unshod feet is found in Deut. xi, 24; Josh, 1, 3. In that light consider Isa. ivili, 13, and lay it to heart. While considering the name of Him who talked with Moses we might notice that other wondrous name given in reply to Moses' question, "I am that I am," or simply "I am" (verses 13, 14). In the New Testament, where we read His statement "I am be," you will notice the word "he" is in italics, so that He said simply "I am," as in John vill, 24; xvili, 6, and then He often added a name such as I am the door; I am the way, the truth, the life; I am the good shepherd; I am the Son of God, and many others in the book of Revelation. Having told Moses who He was, He then told him His purpose: I have seen, I have heard, I know, I am come down to deliver and to bring them up onto a good land (verses 7, 8). He asked neither advice nor help from Moses; but, having declared His purpose, He puf before him a great offer in the words, "Come now, therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt" (verse 10). Notwithstanding God's revelation of Himself Moses did not grasp it, but began his objections and assertions of incompetence in such words as "Who am I that I should go?" "O my Lord, I am not eloquent. * * * I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue" (dil. 11: 1v. 10). How patient and graciously the Lord dealt with him, saying: "Certainly I will be with thee; * * * I have sent them." "I will be with thy mouth and teach thee what thou shalt say" (iii, 12; iv, 12). When he was told to gather the elders of Israel and day before them the Lord's purpose and was assured that they would hear him and was then told what he and they should say to Pharah he again objected, saying. "They will not believe me nor hearken unto my voice, for they will say the Lord hath not appeared unto thee" (dil, 16-18: iv, 1). Then he was given three signs, the rod and serpent, the leprous hand and the water turned to blood, each full of significance and bearing directly on the case. When he persisted in insisting that he could not speak his brother Aaron was given to him to be his spokesman or prophet, and the Lord said, "I know that he can speak well. * * * and thus shalt speak unto him and put words in his mouth (iv. 14-16; vll. 1). Truly He is the God of patience, and we need to live in and be filled with the love of God and the patience of Christ (Rom. xv. 5; II Thess. 11, 5, margin). The Lord knew well the heart of Pharaoh and that he would need sore judgments to humiliate him, but He would be patient even with him and bring Israel out with great spoil, even that which belonged to them (iii. 19-22). They did not borrow but asked or demanded (verse 22, R. V.). Note in iv. 22, that the Lord calls Israel His son. His firstborn, and, His firstborn being oppressed, the firstborn of Egypt must suffer if there is no repentance. The meeting of Moses and Aaron in the mount of God after forty years of separation and Moses' communication to Aaron of all that the Lord had said and done is interesting.

Prince Frederick William of Germany is the high sounding title of the little boy whose picture is shown above. He is the grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm, the German emperor, who recently celebrated the silver jubilee of his ascent to the throne. His father is the Crown Prince William, who will one day succeed to the title of emperor—that is, if he outlives the present ruler. Frederick William is the oldest of the crown prince's children and is in the direct line of succession. At present that probably doesn't bother him very much. "Having fun," as young America expresses it, is doubtless more to his liking than thoughts of future grandeur. The little prince is seven years old and was born on the Fourth of July—a date that has no significance to him other than that it is his birthday. What boy or girl in this country would not feel an especial pride in having Independence day for a birthday? Then the Fourth of July would mean two celebrations in one. What Is the Answer? Why is a cat's tail like the ends of the earth? Because it's fur to the end. But if the cat has no tail? Then it would not be so fur (far). What is the best way to find a person out? Call when she is not at home. Why are printers liable to take cold? Because they always use dump sheets. Because they always use damp sheets. Why is it wilt like the shoe on a Chinese lady's foot? Because brevity is the soul of it. What is the difference between a blacksmith and a safe steed? One is a horseshoe, the other a sure horse. What kind of sickle does Father Time use in winter? Ice sickle. Why is it dangerous to sleep in a train? Because the train runs over sleepers. Why is "a" like 12 o'clock? It is the middle of day. When is a boat like snow? When it is adrift. What is that which works when it plays and plays when it works? A fountain. The Daisy. The Latin name of the daisy comes from a word meaning "pretty," and all will agree that it is well named. Our English word daisy is really "day's eye," and that is what it was called many hundred years ago. Like the dandelion, each of its flowers is made up of a number of little ones, the tiny golden "disk flowers" in the center and the long white "ray flowers" around them. Daisies growing on the prairies from Kentucky to Texas have violet or purple rays. To this same big family or "order" belong the asters, robin's plantain, goldenrod, dahlia, boneset and many other common but beautiful wild flowers which we all know so well. If we look at the flowers in the yellow center of a daisy through a microscope we shall find that each is shaped like a little bell and has pointed teeth on its edge. Robin's Helpers On a blossoming apple tree Robin sang so cheerly, "Conc, dear neighbors, for my nest Will you give me of your best?" "Bna, baa," said the sheep, "my wool Is soft, white and beautiful. You shall have some for your nest, My pretty Robin Redbreast." "Cluck, cluck, cluck," said Mra. Hen, "You won't have to ask again. I will give to you a feather With the wool to weave together." Mulley cow said: "Moo, moo, mool Will a wisp of sweet hay do? I should think that would be fine, Robin, for your nest to line." Dobbin horse spoke: "Black and strong Is my wavy tail so long. Hair will blind them well together— Wool and hay and fluffy feather." Robin sat upon the tree, Trilled his song quite merrily: "Thank you, friends, for of your best You have given me for my nest. "Feathers, hay and long, strong hair, "I will weave them all with care. And the wool, so soft and fine, Just the thing to tear it." -Philadelphia Record. A HOMEMADE ROAD DRAG. The office of public roads at Washington has recently sent out a circular which contains the following directions for making the split log drag and how to use it: "This road drag is made from two halves of a log which has been split. The log should be about eight inches in thickness and from six to eight feet long. The two halves of the log should be set with the flat surfaces forward and upright and fastened together with braces set in holes bored through the log. The team for hauling the drag should be hitched to a chain fastened to the front half of the log. The drag should be hooked up in such a way that it will run diagonally and cause a small amount of loose earth to slide past it to the center of the road, thus forming the crown. The edges of the drag will smooth out the ruts. The best way to drag is to begin at the side ditch and go up one side of the road and then down the other. In the next trip the drag should be run a little nearer the center, and the last trip over the road the drag should be worked close to the center. Small ridges of earth will be thrown in the horse tracks and wagon ruts. This smearing of the earth by the drag is called 'puddling' and tends to make the surface of the road smooth and water tight after the sun comes out. A road should always be dragged following a heavy rain, when it is moist and mealy and will work to the best advantage." THE DODDER PEST. Dodder is one of the worst ills that can beset the grower of small grain, clover and alfalfa, and it is likely to be especially troublesome in fields of the legumes named because its seed so closely resembles theirs. The presence of dodder in one's field is usually the penalty he pays for buying "cheap John," catalogue house clover and alfalfa seed. The dodder is a parasitic plant and sponder—that is, it lives off other plants. As soon as the seed is started and the plant gets a start it attaches itself to any plant which it may touch, and shortly afterward the stalk from this point of contact to the ground withers, but the plant above this point flourishes on its stolen nourishment. The most effective way of getting rid of dodder is to quit buying cheap seed that is infested with it. Another is cutting the crop which it infests before the dodder seeds. Still another is following a system of crop rotation which will not leave the same untilled crop on the land two years in succession. THE HANSON ALFALFA. Some three years ago Professor Hanson of the South Dakota Agricultural college made a trip to Siberia for the federal department of agriculture for the purpose of securing, if possible, the seed of a variety of alfalfa that would withstand not only great cold, but also the semiarid conditions that prevail in many of the western and intermountain states. He brought home the seeds of a yellow flowering variety, the stalk of which is smaller and the leaves of which are finer than the common blue flowered variety. It is three years now since this Siberian alfalfa seed was sown, and it is now possible to note results. A stool of this variety recently dug near Pierre weighed seven and a half pounds, while the stalks measured more than thirty inches in length. In view of such a showing, this new variety of alfalfa gives promise of being a real find and of flourishing under any conditions which are likely to be found in the bleakest and driest parts of the country. PRIZES FOR BURAL PUPILS Some months ago Director Page of the office of public roads announced an essay contest to be participated in by pupils of the rural schools of the country. One gold medal and two silver medals were to be awarded on the best essays written on the subject of "The Maintenance of Country Roads." The time limit within which these essays may be written has been extended to Oct. 15. The idea which it is desired to have brought out in the essays and to have public attention centered upon is that of the improvement of country roads and the keeping of them up through the use of materials that are found available in each locality. This contest is one in which both teachers and pupils should take a keen interest, as it is one of the practical and vital problems confronting every rural community today. Further particulars in regard to the contests may be bad by addressing a letter of inquiry to Director Page, office of public roads, Washington. GROWING THE CATALPA The Burlington railroad is closing an interesting test in the growing of catalpa trees for railroad ties. Eleven years ago the management of the road planted a tract of 125 acres adjoining its right of way in western Iowa, and for the past three weeks this has been a forest of bloom, the fragrance of the bloom being wafted through the windows of passing trains. The first fall after setting the trees were damaged by an early freeze, and two years later they were hit by a hallstorm, but notwithstanding these drawbacks they have made a good growth, many having attained a height of twenty feet and a circumference of eleventeen to twenty inches. Experiments by the railroad company with the catalpa wood treated and untreated indicate that the untreated trees make the best and most lasting tie. J. E. Trigg POULTRY NOTES BY C.M.BARNITZ RIVERSIDE PA. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [These articles and illustrations must not be reprinted without special permission.] A visit to most of our prominent duck plants will disclose the fact that, while they raise millions of young, green ducks for market without their having had a day's swim, yet they furnish swimming facilities to their breeding ducks. This is because ducks naturally pair in the water, and thus those that swim lay eggs with a higher average fertility and greater hatchability, and the ducklings are of stronger vitality, better breeders and can stand more forcing for market. The great aim in market duckling raising is to get quick, big growth and to keep the duck soft and juicy. Exercise in swimming, like other healthful exercise, makes muscle. THE FIELD Photo by C. M. Barnitz ALONG THE SHORE hardens the flesh, retards fat, creates stamina and uses up food in the process. That is why the swimming duck is harder, stronger, tougher and thinner than the market duckling, and that is why, on the contrary, the market duckling is such a fast-grower, so toothsome and julicy. It melts in the mouth, is so large and lovely because it exercises but little and loafs and eats much, and most of its food just quickly turns into layers of fancy flesh and fancy fat. The only time it goes to swim is when it is driven in to wash off before killing, and so unused to swimming are they that we have seen them refuse to do that. Duck growers along streams simply inclose water along shore, or others ```markdown ``` make ponds or dams, the thickness of the dam wall depending on volume and velocity of water and made thicker at base than top. The proportions for making 'the concrete dam wall shown were one barrow of sharp sand and two of clean gravel to one sack of cement. The majority of duck raisers feed their breeding ducks fish, either fresh or fish scrap.' This tends to vigor in breeder and offspring and increases fertility. DON'TS.

Whenever a Negro triumphs in life, whether it is in politics, religion, education, society or athletics it is generally an admitted fact that success has come to him in his particular field of endeavor not through any special dispensation in his favor or any established law to suit his case. It is known that he has succeeded in open field in competition with others because he was fit and able to "deliver the goods" better than his fellow competitors. Such seems to be the case of Howard P. Drew, the crack-colored athlete of the Springfield, (Mass.,) High school. Drew seems to be in such fine fettle at the present time until he is having little difficulty in showing his heels to any and all of his competitors. In the National Championship meet held at Chicago a few days ago, Drew was able to demonstrate his supremacy as a sprinter by winning in open field the 100 and 220-yard dashes. In so doing, he succeeded in breaking the senior amateur union records. Time and again, he has been able to show that as a short distance spinner, he is in a class by himself. In being able to out class all rivals in his particular field, Drew has rendered to the race a great service. He has indeed put to flight the idea that in athletics as well as other fines, we are an inferior people. On the other hand he has contributed his share toward proving the versatility of our people. The race to-day is in dire need of more Drews. We need Drews in finance, in education, in religion, in politics and in every other field of endeavor. We need to be able to demonstrate to the world our ability to hold our own in whatever vocation or avocation we may find ourselves. All honor to Howard P. Drew, our crack representative on the athletic field. May the time be not far distant when the Drew, spirit of achievement and success will manifest itself in every field of activity among us. Seldom, if ever, has any stand taken by any of our white friends in our behalf, created more wide spread enthusiasm and hope among us or called forth more genuine thanks from our people, than the one recently taken by Dr. Walter S. Wilson; a prominent member of the Board of Education of Chatham county, in regard to increased school facilities for the Colored children of the county. According to information obtained from a reliable source, it is reported that at a recent meeting of the Board of Education, Dr. Wilson in out spoken language made it plain to his fellow members of the Board that he would not countenance nor support any movement for increased school facilities for the white children of the city until the present congested condition which now exists among the Negro school children is relieved by the building of a first class and modern school building for them. It indeed requires no stretch of thought or breadth of imagination for one to appreciate the unselfishness and unusual candor which prompted Dr. Wilson to take the stand which he has. It must be absolutely clear to all that as one of the leading members of the Board of Education, Dr. Wilson feels it to be his duty to serve his entire constituency each and all alike and this, regardless to race or color. There is no denying the fact that a new school is badly needed for our children. The congestion is indeed too great. And now since the Board of Education has seen fit to give a new school building it is believed that under the leadership of such men as Dr. Wilson, Judge Adams and other members of the Board, men who are fair minded and just to all alike, a new first class school building for Negroes will soon grace the location of the present Haven Home school. The Colored people throughout the city are indeed grateful to Dr. Wilson for his timely words in their behalf. They feel that in him they have a representative of justice and fair play to each one and all alike and a true friend to the race. Denths Mr. Andrew J. Cochran died suddenly in St. Paul, Minn., on last Monday. The funeral services may take place to-morrow from Congregational church this city. Mr. Cockran was a very promising young man and was 26 years old. He was born in this city, where he had a host of friends. At the time of his death he was in the railroad service, running out of St. Paul, Minn., which work he was following during his vacation from Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Cochran had spent three years in Meharry, taking the dental course, and was preparing to return to school in the fall. He was a young man of exceptional manly qualities and his death is greatly deplored throughout the city. He is survived by his mother and other relations. Died at the Old Soldier Home Intelligence was received in the city last week of the death of Mr. Alexander,Melton, which occurred at the Old Soldiers' Home, near Hampton, Va. The funeral took place on Saturday last, the remains being intered in the National Cemetery at that place. He was given all the honors of a veteran. Mr. Melton was born in Thomasville, Ga., 73 years ago. The better part of his life was spent in this city, where he is well and favorably known by the older citizens. He was a model inhis manner and beloved by those with whom he came in contact. Mr. Melton was one of the oldest Masons in the state, being among the first candidates to be initiated in Eureka Lodge No. 1, of this city. He lived an exemplary Masonic life, and was ever loyal to his Lodge and the order. Along the line of charity he was liberal. He left a half brother, Mr. Holloway, and a step-son Mr. Geo. L. Smith with many friends to mourn his death. Mr. Smith attended the funeral and speaks in the highest terms of the officials of the Old Soldiers' Home. Letter Carriers Easily Defeats Doctors and Business Men. The baseball game which was played at the ball park on last Monday afternoon between the letter carriers and the doctors and business men was won by the former by a score of 19 to 10. The game while witnessed by a very small crowd, due to the heavy rain just prior to the hour scheduled for the game to begin, was very amusing, regardless of the fact that the doctors and business men's team allowed their opponents to get a lead of fourteen runs in the first three innings. The game was rlete with errors and misplays, but herein lay the pleasures of the afternoon. In several instances the spectators were given a exhibition which more resembled football than the national pastime. Howbeit, those present had an enjoyable afternoon and more laughs than they probably would have experienced at a minstrel show. The pitching by Mack for the letter carriers and Weston for doctors and business men was superb. The former struck out 14 in nine innings and the latter 12 in seven innings.

C., was the guest of honor at a very pretty and interesting whist party on July 15th, given by her aunt, Mrs. Robert McNichols of 222 Park Avenue, east. The ladies were out in full bloom and it was hard to decide which looked the best. The guest of honor was presented with a dainty pincushion of yellow ribbon, and shadow lace. The first prize was won by Miss M. Clark, the second Mrs. J. L. Jackson, third Mrs. M.D. Johnson. Instead of a consolation prize there was a unique drawing contest. Each lady drew a slip of paper with the name of the local doctors. The lucky name for the married ladies was that of Dr. W. C. Blackman and was drawn by Mrs. G. H.

Wedding Bells Wednesday evening last, the chimes of sweet wedding bells rang out from the home of Principat Jno. McIntosh of the Maple Street Public School of Savannah. His, the second daughter, the queenly Miss Mable Gertrude McIntosh, was joined to Mr. Richard Wright in holy wedlock, by Rev. W. L. Cash in the beautiful home of her parents, 312 E. Duffy street. Mr. Wright is one of Savannah's best young men. He has been in the employ of the high officials of the Central R. R. of Georgia for a long number of years and is esteemed by them and the many whites with whom he has come in contact, as being very intelligent, studious, gentlemanly, faithful, reliable and Christian, a model young man. He comes from one of the best families of our race. The happy bride is a graduate of the Anderson Street Publieschool, of which her father was principal. She subsequently attended Beach Institute, The Georgia State Industrial college, The Florida Baptist College, Spellman Seminary in which she made dress-making and music a specialty. At the appointed time the pianists, Miss Etta McIntosh and Mr. Jno. McIntosh, Jr., skillfully played Mendelson's 4 hand wedding march. Just preceding the rendition of a very spicy duet by Mrs. A. E. Orner and Miss Etta McIntosh. They were at their best and charmed the classical and musical audience with very noted delight, Jno. McIntosh, Jr., pianist. Then sang the Misses Porter and Wells. Their most exquisitely harmoniously sweet voices electrified and charmed the many musical celebrities in that dense audience, Miss Etta McIntosh, pianist. Now all being in perfect readiness, the bridal train wended its measured steps down the tastily carpeted and lined stairway, through the spacious hall to the bridal chamber. Messrs Edgar Blackshear and Clarence O. Houston, ushers, entered forming an isle for the bridal train. Next came Master Jno. H. Law, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Law. He wore an emaculate white linen sailor blouse and carried the bridal'ring of intrinsic value and significance on an unique silver tray; his steps marked the inheritance of a soldier true to music. Then entered the charming Miss Sadie E. Tyson, the bride's maid, sweetly gowned in pink silk creem trimmed in shadow lace with a girdle of pink brocade silk. The dimpled cheeks and bewitching eyes of Miss Jennie Ophelia McIntosh, sister of the bride and maid of honor, were esplend next, beautifully costumed in blue silk pongee, trimmed in shadow lace with a girdle of blue brocade silk. Then followed the sweet cherub, Mildred L. Larsheay, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs D. Solomon Larsheay. She was attired in pink messaline trimmed with point de sprey, bearing a basket of fragrant roses, which she strew in the pathway of the queenly bride and star of the occasion. Then entered the bride supporting herself upon the arm of her father who was attired in Sicilian cream. The bride was gowned in silk embroidered net draped over white silk messaline, with a girdle of white silk messaline finished with orange blossoms. She wore a silk net veil wreathed with orange blossoms, she also wore a beautiful necklace incased with diamonds, the gift of the groove; she carried a bouquet of bridal roses and ferns. She was met by the grooping and best man, Mr. Arthur Andrews, who entered the bridal chamber from the front door of the front parlor. They met beneath an arch术 entrancingly bedecked and adorned with electric lights of variegated colors, emblematic of the rainbow in duplication making seven colors on either side of a white centre light from which was suspended most artistically unique and beautiful "Cole" bell of lovely roses. The bride stood directly under this bridal "Cole" bell of nature's roses and was solemnly wedded to Richard for life, Rev. W. L. Cash, her eminent pastor, officiating, with Dr. L. A. Townsley, Richard's pastor, assisting. The groom and all of his attendants were dressed in conventional style. The mother of the bride and the father of the groom with very stately physique and bearing led the "Grand Bridal March" and stood in the arch formed by the bridal party. The mother were: a cream silk serge, trimmed with embroidered net messaline and pearls; she carried a rich bouquet of white carnations, the gift of the groom. Mr. John McIntosh, Jr., assistant pianist was dressed in cream. Miss Etta, pianist and sister of the bride, was gowned in a dress of lavahire crepe de chene, trimmed in net and pearls. The front and back parlers-of this lovely home were converted by the decorators into a veritable "Eden" of beauty, loveliness and splendor: Golden photos hung upon the beautiful walls, and decorated with bright bamboo vines, potted geraniums, ferns, palms and a rich variety of Eden's flowers. The whole affair seemed but a dream of paradise with the elite of Savannah in large attendance. The happy couple departed amid a shower of roses at 9 o'clock the same evening for Chicago and other points of interest. Presents were too many and too rich, beautiful, useful and valuable to describe or count. The parents of the contracting parties extend to numerous friends never waning thanks. Miss S. C. Housoun, of the Maple Street School, was directress and mistress of ceremonies and was queen of all she surveyed. A Friend.

In Memoriam In loving remembrance of husband and our father SCOTT SMITH who departed this life July 18, 1906. Dear husband, how we miss you Since you have gone away, It has been seven years ago, Though it seems but yesterday. Gone but not forgotten, We all still love you dear, And even though your voice is stillled We feel that you are near. It fills our hearts with sadness To see your vacant place, We long to hear the voice we loved, And see thy dear sweet face. Not now but in the coming years Perhaps we'll understand. Why God took you from us, father dear, To live in his beautiful happy land. Mrs. Sylvia Smily, wife, Miss Rains y Smith, Mrs. Frances Williams Mrs. Ethel Walker, of New York Mrs. Leola Hutching, Mrs. Elzy.Smith. A light is from our homestead gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant at our hearth Which can never be filled, A gentle heart that thrabbed, but now With tenderness and love, Has hushed its anxious throbbing here To thrill in bliss above. Yes, to home where angels are, Her happy soul has fled. We can call her dead, but yet we know She dwells where living waters flow. And some day we shall walk through the streets of that city Where we meet to part no more.

Cherries served fresh and cold on their own stems for breakfast are so delicious that no other way of serving them at that meal could be better. But pitted and sprinkled with sugar and a bit of lemon juice they serve as an apper and at the same time lose none of their delicate flavor. Another way pile of cherries and cook them until they are just tender. Then pour them over buttered toast. Cherry soup has been made, but it can hardly be more than the result of an effort to serve cherries in a new and unexpected way. However, at every course save the soup course cherries can be legitimately served. Cherry cocktails are made in this way: Stone ripe cherries, chop them finely, add a tablespoonful of lemon juice to each cupful of cherries, sweeten them to taste and serve them either in cocktail glasses or else in lemon skin cups made by removing part of one slice of a sufficient number of lemons, cutting a bit of the rind from the other side, removing all the pulp and juice and washing and chilling the shells. Cherries served with French toast can be used as an entree. To make them cut rings half an inch thick from bread and soak them in beaten egg yolk, a little sugar and a pinch of sugar. Roll the bread rings in crumbled bread and macaroons and brown them in butter. Stew ripe cherries with sugar, dough to sweeten them, drain and poke in the middle of a dish. Surround them with the fried bread rings and soak them with the juice of the cherries, thickened with a little cornstarch and flavored with orange juice. Cherry fritters can be served with meat, as a separate course or as dessert. To make them prepare a batter of a cupful of flour, a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of baking powder mixed with a tablespoonful of melted butter, a well beaten egg and enough water to make a thin batter. Stew ripe, pitted cherries until they are just tender—but do not cook them to pieces—and sweeten them. Drain them and add them to the batter. Drop it in spoonfuls into deep fat and fry brown. The juice drained from the cherries can be substituted for water to molten the fritter batter. Sour cherries are needed for cherry sherbet. Stone a quart of them. In the meantime boil together a quart of water and a pound of granulated sugar for fifteen minutes. Add the cherries to the hot sirup just as it is taken from the stove and stand aside until it is perfectly cold. Strain through a fine wire sleeve and freeze. When you take out the dasher stir in a meringue made of the white of one egg sweetened with a tablespoonful of granulated sugar. Pack in ice for an hour or two. Raspberry Tarts. Raspberry Tarts.—Delicious raspberry tarts can be made by cooking paste in patty tins, filling the shells with rice or beans in waxed paper to keep the paste from bubbling and filling the shells with fresh raspberries covered with sugar and whipped cream. Raspberry Ice Cream.—This ice cream calls for three pints of raspberries. Cover and mix them with a cupful of sugar and let them stand for an hour. Mix three pints of cream with a cupful and a half of sugar and two tablespoonfuls of sherry. Freeze and when stiff take out the dasher. Put the berries and sugar in the cavity where the dasher was and set away in ice and salt for an hour and a half. Boiled Sweet Apples. Take five nice, ripe, sweet apples, halve and core them, place in a kettle, sprinkle with four teaspoonfuls brown sugar. Add water enough to boll well over the apples. Cover and let them cook until tender and the juice is becoming thick. Then with a silver fork or spoon lift the bottom pieces, letting the top ones down into the sirup. Cook from twenty to thirty minutes longer, being careful not to burn them. These are much nicer than baked apples. Pan Dowdy. Pie crust, apples, two cupfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one cupful of cider. Line the sides of a deep baking pan with common pie crust, fill it with apples, pared, cored and quartered. Add the sugar, cinnamon and cider. Cover it with rather a thick crust. Bake it slowly four hours, then break in the crust and mix it well with the apples. Eat with cream. Roman Parfait Beat up one quart of thick cream until stiff. Then add one pound of powdered sugar and put into the can of the freezer. Pack in ice and salt and let it stand until half frozen. Then add the juice and grated rind of two lemons, one tablespoonful of brandy and a little green coloring. Repack and let it stand from two to three hours until frozen. Good Breadwiches Have ready thin, slices of bread. Spread them with butter, Neufchatel cheese and minced olives. Press every two together in sandwich fashion and serve. A MODEL FOR YOU. I've a big fluffy hen that's a dandy. She always does her best. She doesn't sport any fancy frills No wear a rounded crest. But when she scratches she crooks her oes. And the dickens is to pay. You'd think she'd scratch the barnyard And the garden all away. And when she lays—oh, my, what eggs And she lays when eggs are high. Her eggs are first—you bet they're best And make swell pumpkin pie. And when she hatches—oh, goodness me! She sits till the cows come home. But, oh, the chicks that she brings out! They're dandy and then some! And when she's in love she's in love, oh my! She has roosters by the score, And, like the seaside summer girl, She's always hunting for more. Oh, no, Sir Sluggard, don't go to the ant For lessons in industry! The ant's not in it with the hen. 'Just take that tip from me. The hen brings in a billion a year. THE POULTRY DOCTOR SAYS Doping the hens in a flock because one dies or is sick is a peculiar and foolish method of some fanciers. This generally puts the whole bunch off their feed and stops laying, and these conditions confirm the dopo fiend's funny opinion that they've all got it, and so he dopes them again. It's far better to remove the sick fowl, clean up and disinfect, study the flock and especially to scrutinize one's methods closely, for it's often what is fed and how it's fed that brings sickness among the flock. "Cholera" is a term often applied to poultry disease in summer, but there is mighty little cholera among the fowls of this country. These intestinal troubles, this indigestion, that somewhat resembles cholera, have their cause mostly in rank, rotten yards, lack of shade and greens, dirty drinking water, hot sleeping quarters, multiplying lice and mites and feeding too much heat, fat producing corn in warm weather. The plaster droppings of ducks that soon cover the whole surface of a yard should be systematically removed during the development of the ducklings or serious results, such as intestinal or rheumatic troubles, develop or the stamina of the stock is lowered. We have seen 100 ducks die in two days, and an investigation showed it was not the feed, as supposed, but the microbial mess through which the quacks waddled every day and which fertilized the desert air with its awful stench. Unless very hungry, hens will not often fill up on mash that is too wet, because they seem to know it is not wholesome. Same with a mash where molly ingredients are used. Both mean intestinal irritation and scours. Feeding small chicks and turkey poults sloppy feeds is a cause of much mortality on farms. The majority of poultrymen feed nothing wet to chicks. To be right a mash must not only be composed of good grain products, but should be crumby and of such consistency as not to stick to the hands. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. The Iowa State college at Ames now holds free poultry clinics, where poultry diseases are diagnosed and investigated. Solomon didn't live in the age of progressive poultry, culture or he wouldn't have said, "There's nothing new under the sun." Lice and cholera germs flourish most in hot weather, and both by a little work may be prevented. Running for remedies and cleaning up when a flock is down with contagious disease is certainly a ridiculous and fruitless proceeding and exhibition of how not to do it. The country boys and girls of Minnesota are taking a poultry census of the state for the state agricultural college. These young people will make a thorough job of it. It will be the first complete poultry census taken, and we advise other states to follow Minnesota's lead. In every neighborhood there are always some who point the long finger when any one tries to farm or dairy or raise poultry or fruit by advanced methods. These weeping Jeremiahso who are always prophesying failure for progressive people generally arrive at their conclusions from facts in their own unsuccessful personal experience. One hundred and twenty-four students made a specialty of poultry culture at the University of Missouri the past term. Fifty-eight Missouri counties and six outside states were represented. A feast today and a famine tomor row will upset the digestion and egg production of any hen. This method neither works with hen nor men. A male bird is often rendered sterile by the strain attending too much exhibiting. Eggs from your pens, whether set in incubators or under hens, should be tested for fertility. This will often save time that would be wasted in setting worthless eggs and also selling eggs that can't hatch. The beginner is often disappointed when he discovers every egg doesn't hatch a winner. He may buy a setting of eggs for $20 and not get a perfecto from the lot. He learns later that phenomenal birds are not the rule, that his best breeders do not always breed true and that anesthesy will show. Just the same with humans, where a red headed baby may be traced back to a great-great-great-grandmother without another bricktop between. ล.ห.ห.สามนิต. POULTRY NOTES BY C.M.BARNITZ RIVERSIDE PA.

Some get round the bughouse job by sprinkling louse powder on the hen while in the nest, placing bug killer, moth balls, tobacco, sulphur, slaked lime, in the nest or greasing the hen with lard with the idea that she will grease the chicks. But why take lazy halfway measures with these crawlers that are so A Photo by C. M. Barnitz DUSTING BIDDY destructive, breed so fast, have so many hiding places in the feathers and resist so many so called insecticides? The most effective method is to treat each fowl individually, to apply the louse powder by hand. Just take your hen by the hocks so she can't jerk and break a leg and hold her head down over a newspaper, and her feathers will fall open. Start with the fluff, the louse incubator; get the powder down to the skin; work it in around the roots of the tail between body and thighs, on thighs, back, cape backle, head, throat, wing quills; work it down to skin all over the fowl, then shake your hen gently over paper and release her quietly lest she fly around and shake off the powder. We find the louse machine next in effectiveness and recommend it for big flocks. It is easily made, dusts five or six hens at once, does quick work and does not injure fowls. It is simply a ```markdown ``` TURNING THE LOUSE MACHINE. revolving canvas drum in which the fowls turn in contact with the powder. Good louse killer is hard to buy, Much on the market is worthless, some injurious. Persian insect powder is the best sold, especially fine for chicks and poults, but rather expensive for big flocks. For new readers we repeat our louse killer recipe, and we find no better for old stock: One pint gasoline. One-half pint crude carbolic acid. Four pounds plaster parts. Stir the mixed liquids into plaster, screen on to newspaper and let stand two hours, then can for use and use in moderate quantity. DON'TS. Don't buy much cracked corn at a time.

One of the simplest hard cements is the well known mixture of litharge and glycerin made to a stiff paste. It sets hard as a rock and is oilproof. A solution of water glass mixed with powdered calcium carbonate serves the same purpose. A mixture of boiled linseed oil and fire clay resists acid better than most cements, though sulphur melted with glass powder is also ranked as very resistant to chemicals in general.

SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] A little copperas in the drinking water serves as a good preventive of diseases to which the poultry flock may be subject. A French aviator, Perreyon, recently broke the record for an altitude flight in carrying two passengers, reaching a height of 15,480 feet. If the wren's nest is exposed to the direct rays of the afternoon sun it is a good idea to shield it with some sort of covering. This will take but a moment's time, but will be a service that the little birds will much appreciate. Barring invalids, the folks who complain most about the hot weather are those who have little else to do. The fellow who is building, ditching or having knows it is hot, but he is too busy to think very much about it. A fellow down in Washington has cured a bad case of dyspepsia by eating a teaspoonful of sand once a day. This cure is cheap enough, but it would better not be tried except on the recommendation of a reliable physician. The South American banana crop is so large that the United Fruit company finds itself unable to handle it. The cause of the enormous crop is not only favorable growing conditions, but freedom from storms and other forms of damage. Old potatoes reached a new low record mark in large market centers early in June, when they slumped to 16 cents a bushel. In some cities they were dumped out and poor people of the city allowed to come and get them for nothing. Coal and charcoal are supposed to be good for hogs—that is, they like it—because it not only stimulates the flow of the digestive juices, but because the sharp cornered pieces are tough on the worms that sometimes infest the intestinal tract. The soil about the bushes and shrubs should be kept spaded and the suckers cut out. Oftentimes it is advisable to give a heavy mulch of straw manure. This not only serves to hold moisture, but gives the growing bushes needed fertilizing elements. Placing a sack containing equal parts of saltpeter and fine broken charcoal in a cistern is said to be an effective means of clearing the water. The saltpeter draws the soot to the sack and the charcoal holds it. This process does not injure the water and is effective for several months. In the manufacture of the high grade tankage which is used to furnish protein in a condensed form in the hog ration the materials are subjected to so high a temperature that all disease germs are killed, including those of hog cholera. However, the sterilizing of the tankage in the cooking process would not preclude the possibility of contamination by cholera germs subsequent to the time of manufacture. Horse thieves and chicken thieves are not entire strangers in many rural communities, but the present season is the first that many have heard reports of tree thieves. In an instance of the latter kind noted the other day a hundred fruit trees that had been lately planted were found missing when the owner went to see what growth they were making. In the same neighborhood seventy trees were taken from another farmer. Where sand or gravel and decomposed limestone and clay are at hand there is no cheaper or better material for road improvement. Where the road to be improved is already sandy, the clay-limestone combination is all that is needed. Where the soil is heavy and either muck or loam, both sand and the clay and limestone should be used. If the roadway is low the roadside should be drained and the road crowned with a grader before the surface materials mentioned are applied. Professor Larson of the South Dakota Agricultural college strongly advises the building of the pit silo in those semikind sections of the state where the farmers are likely to be short of money due to crop failures the past few years and where the soil is clay or gumbo, so that it will not cave in as a result of the action of the weather or moisture coming from the silage. He recommends a pit some sixteen feet deep and from eighteen to twenty feet in diameter and puts the cost of it at whatever the value would be of the labor required to dig it. He suggests a derrick and bucket for this purpose, the same outfit also being used to lift out the silage during the winter season. IS THE KICK JUSTIFIED? A reader of these notes who is a level headed and progressive farmer offers this criticism against the work and methods of the so called county agricultural expert—namely, that his efforts are far less valuable from the standpoint of the average farmer because most of the experiments he conducts are on so limited and intensive a scale that they cannot be carried out in the same way on a quarter or half section farm. Our friend contends that if this same expert were to take entire charge of a farm, assuming responsibility for the planning of the work and for the hundred and one details, some of them often vexious and annoying, and were to make a distinct success of it, an improvement over what the owner is able to do, he would then be in a position to tell the average farmer how to farm. The same thought is expressed by a Kansas farmer in the following language: "I am in favor of progress and advancement, but before we get into the expert business too far I am in favor of putting those experts on probation. Give each one 160 acres of land, one team, two cows, four sheep, provisions for one year, and, if at the expiration of five years he has kept out of the poorhouse, paid his taxes, kept his lodge dues paid and his preacher, let the county in which he is located give him a job on the county experiment farm." THE CELERY BED. The home garden can easily be made to produce all the celery that the family needs. The writer has secured excellent results by digging a trench three and a half feet wide and eight or nine inches deep, spading up the bottom of this to a depth of four or five inches and working in three or four wheelbarrow loads of well rotted manure. The plants, which should have the roots and tops pruned back, should be set in rows ten inches apart and about eight inches apart in the row. The plants should be kept hood and free from weeds and watered during dry weather. When planted in a trench in the manner suggested the soil does not dry out so rapidly, while the earth thrown from the trench may be returned during the hilling process. It is best to begin hilling when the plants are about ten inches high, depending somewhat upon whether the variety is dwarf or giant, and to give a couple of applications of earth after the first. Plants put out early in July should yield celery for the table the latter part of October, while for the winter supply they may be put out six weeks later. THE GRASSHOPPER PEST. In several sections of western states grasshoppers have done great damage within the past few weeks, and entomologists connected with several middle state agricultural colleges have warned farmers of possible damage from the pest in the coming weeks. A spray that is said to be effective in killing the grasshoppers is made by mixing one pound of arsenate of lead and two quarts of cheap molasses and diluting in sixty gallons of water. This should be applied to vegetation along roadsides and the edges of fields where the grasshoppers may be abundant. A dope which kills the grasshoppers when they eat it is made by mixing one pound of paris green in forty pounds of bran and adding enough water and molasses to make it a sticky mass. This should be scattered in small quantities at intervals of three or four rods wherever the hoppers are abundant. Another mixture equally good is made by substituting fresh horse manure in place of bran on the above recipe and adding salt. TWO RECORD BREAKERS. Professor Rice of the poultry department of the State College of Agriculture at Cornell university, New York, has a couple of hens of which he may well feel proud. One of these, Cornell Supreme, has laid 600 eggs in a period of three years, the highest sustained production of which he has been able to find any authentic record. These eggs weighed 86.19 pounds, or more than twenty-five times the weight of the hen. Another hen, Cornell Surprise, has laid 602 eggs in the three year period, a remarkable feature about her performance being that she laid more eggs each successive year, her score for the three years being 180, 186 and 190 eggs respectively. The performance of these hens leads their owner to the conclusion that a hen can sustain a high egg production for a period of at least three years and that such a breed can be developed by selection which will add greatly to the value of the poultry business of the country. WHY SOME SUCCEED. Success in most line of agricultural endeavor or in animal or poultry husbandry is rarely due so much to exceptional opportunity or especially favorable environment or to unusual ability on the part of the operator as to the simple traits of persistence, application to details and the use of a fair measure of good sense and intelligence. Chiefly does it follow sticking to one thing, whatever the drawbacks for the time being may be. Many people make a fizzle of their undertakings by dropping an enterprise just as they have got through the tiresome and experience getting stage. They take a new tack and drop it at about the same stage, and so on. The net result is that they are most of their time gaining experience at a high price, from which they get little or no benefit.

I note in a recent "Kurios" you state you saw a hign that laid when her abdomen was so full of tumors that her oviduct and intestines could no longer perform their functions. Can a hot lay without an oviduct? A. No. The printer failed to get our correction of proof in time to insert, the word gizzard for oviduct; thus the mistake. In same column 90 per cent of an egg is water should read 65 per cent. Q. I have used your gasoline-carbolic louse powder on my fowls with success and am wondering if you haven't something as effectual for the green lice that kill my rosebushes. A. Simply dissolve half a five cent cake of common store washing soap in two gallons of water, place in this a teaspoonful of kerosene and spray the bush thoroughly. One thorough application will be found sufficient. Q. How many varieties of Wyandottes does the new Standard of Perfection contain. Please name. A. Silver, Golden, White, Buff, Black, Partridge, Silver Pencilled, Columbian. Q. What should one do for that large swelling that appears on the sole of a chicken's foot? I have a large Brahma cock bird, with the trouble. Is it contagious? A. Your fowl has bumble-foot. Not contagious, but from a bruise, perhaps in your bird's case from jumping down from too high a roost. Simply cut deep across swelling, squeeze out pus, paint with carbolic acid or some other antiseptic, bandage and keep fowl on straw floor until it recovers. Q. I have a very fine Minorca cockercel and think of showing him, but I notice one of his feet has webs a great deal like a duck's. If he is about perfect in all other sections would not his other good qualities overbalance this defect so that the judge would just cut him slightly? How about breeding him? A. No. He would be debarred from competition. Don't breed from him. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. One way to get ducks off their feed is to get them excited. A dog or a boy chasing the flock can so disturb a flock of market ducks as to put them out of condition. Same way in the laying house. A disturbance that puts the hens on nerve knocks the egg record. Some one says, "The best way to tell whether an egg contains a rooster or a hen is to hatch the egg under a hen and watch the chick for a year, and if it crow's it's a rooster, and if it lays eggs it's a hen." It is occasionally the case that a breeding pen contains hens, that are not popular with the male or which give him the cold shoulder. A testing of the eggs will show some of the eggs infertile, and they may be easily traced. Such hens should be mated to another male, as it is seldom they become reconciled to the head of the harem or the male makes up with them. When the American Poultry association met at Nashville, Tenn., most restaurants put on lots of chicken frills, and chicken soup, chicken salad, chicken sandwich and stuffed eggs were on about every bill of fare. The members felt like the boy who said to the friend who entertained him: "Don't want none of that. Got plenty of that at home." The Single Comb Brown. Leghorn seems to be dropping out of sight, very few being seen at shows, and one seldom sees a flock of them. One reason for this is because show requirements are such that the ridiculous double mating system must be resorted to to get birds to win. This unnatural method applied to Barred Rocks has also retired them from the head of the procession. A way to interest that boy and to keep him busy and happy is to give him an interest in the flock, whether chickens, turkeys, ducks or geese. Make him a member of the firm, give him part of the profit and watch him get busy. Busy boys, with work that gives them a sense of proprietorship and a chance to make money, are not among our dime novel readers nor associates of the bad boys of the streets. A fancier was recently tried at Williamsport, Pa., for shooting and killing a chicken thief. The jury brought in a verdict of not guilty after five minutes' deliberation. Judges in Pennsylvania are getting away from the idea that stealing a horse and a chicken does not show the same moral turpitude, and juries no longer consider chicken stealing a laughing matter. G. M. T. Barrie Professor Hayward of the Delaware experiment station reports that a Guernsey bull, King Bedn, gives a small quantity of milk. While it is a matter of common observation that most male mammals have underdeveloped mammary glands. it is rare that these glands perform their function. The 560,000,000 pounds of veal which Americans consume annually would make 40,000,000,000 pounds of beef if the calves that are slaughtered were allowed to grow to maturity. More than this, the vastly larger amount of beef is not only more digestible but a good deal more nutritious than the smaller amount of veal.

While soap, whitewash and some other things may be applied to the trunks of fruit trees without injury, mixtures containing grease or heavy oils are always injurious. Many a young orchard has been ruined through applying to the bark such greasy mixtures through the mistaken notion that they check or ward off some fungous or insect" pest with which the trees were threatened." Perry R Wright Proprietor 517 WEST BROAD ST SAVANNAH GA Rape sown at the time of the last cultivation of the corn will give an abundant supply of green stuff for hog pasturage that will dovetail in nicely if the hogs are turned into the corn and allowed to hog it down next October and November. But, whether the hogging down method is followed or not, the rape will give an excellent and much needed pasture after the crop has been removed. Quite unusual damage to the small branchlets on the Oregon fir has been noticed on the Pacific slope within the past few weeks. This is attributed to the fact that the sap started early in April, the trees being hit shortly afterward by a bitter cold snap, accompanied by a sharp northeast wind. The damage seems akin to that which fruit trees often suffer from what is usually called sour sap. Where pasturage is abundant the feeding of a grain ration to milk cows does in most cases increase the milk flow somewhat, but the increase is seldom justified in view of the cost of the grain fed. However, it has been noted in some experiments conducted by the animal husbandry department of Cornell college, New York, that cows that were given such grain ration gave 16 per cent more milk after the pasture season than cows that had pasturage only. Attention has been called in a good many quarters to the fact that most states exact definite qualifications for the man who would operate a stationary engine, but that Tom, Dick and Harry are allowed to operate engines of from twenty to sixty horsepower on high speed autos, which are a menace to life and limb to a degree far exceeding engines of the stationary kind. The time is ripe for a change and for insisting on a fair measure of sense and capacity on the part of the person who would run a high power motor vehicle on a public highway.

POLLARD Managers After many experiments and investigation into the causes of white diarrhea in chickens the poultry department of the Storrs Agricultural college recommends the feeding of sour milk or buttermilk to the chicks from the time they are ten days old. The acidity of the milk seems to serve as a germicide and to keep the bowels in a healthful condition. Besides this, the food elements which the milk contains, being, as they are, largely protein, are excellent for the growth and vigor of the young chicks and also a fine ration for the laying hens. If plain sour milk is thus a preventive of this worst of poultry plagues it should be supplied to the chicks and hens whenever possible. Residence Phone 2032 Residence Phone 4241.

WASHINGTON 309 WHETAKER STREET While there are a few New England orchardists who favor keeping their trees in grass, cutting the grass and using it for a mulch, and while in many ranches in the far west the system of clean cultivation throughout the season is followed, there is much to commend the system of giving clean cultivation up to the middle of July and then seeding to some leguminous cover crop and plowing this under the following spring. Even in sections where the rainfall is limited and most of it falls from the 1st of October to the 1st of April the cover crop idea is good. In such case, however, the seeding should be made just before the fall rains set in. The growth made, while not needed as a winter protection, serves to keep the soil from washing and, plowed under in the spring, furnishes a humus that most soils are much in need of. FINE DISPLAY OF ALL THE LATEST STYLES ColoredMillinery Store 464 WEST BROAD ST The greatest danger to young apple orchards comes from the inroads of the borer beetle. The eggs are laid by the mature beetle the latter part of May and early June, and the little borers which hatch in a few days are soon busy. The point where they enter the bark is usually indicated by a drop of brown colored sap or, in the case of the borers that are several months or a year old, by brownish, sawdust-like excreta. Washes applied at about the time the young hatch will destroy many. But the only sure method is to inspect the trunks of the trees just above the ground at intervals during the summer and cut out and destroy any that are found. Where the borers are old and deep in the tree a pliable twig may be used to prod, them in their holes where at work. The ground for a diameter of two or three feet about the trunk should be kept-free from weeds and grass, so that evidence of the borers can be easily detected.

Brown of Magnolia Remedy Company, St. Augustine, Fla. This company makes a specialty of a cure for consumption, which it is manufacturing and which has gained wide recognition throughout the country. The head of the company, Dr. D. H. Brown, has made a special study of the germs which promote consumption and destroy the lungs and other vital organs and the remedy which is being offered for sale by this company is the direct result of Dr. Brown's discovery. The discovery has received many favorable testimonials from all parts of the country from those who have given it a trial. The following is what some of the newspapers say of the company and its remedy: Consumption Cure Magnolia Remedy Company of this city manufactures this boon to humanity. It is rapidly receiving recognition as an almost infallible remedy.—St. Augustine Evening Record. [Image of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie.] Mr. Wm.

Brown, president, are fitted up with facilities for handling the large and increasing business of the company. These are on the second floor of a building on Washington street, one of the livest thoroughfares in that city. The consumption remedy invented and manufactured exclusively by this company is having a rapid sale in many parts of this country and in Canada. Dr. Brown and his office help are kept busy day and night filling the many orders for this medicine and testimonials are coming in daily from persons who are loudly declaring its benefits. Dr. Brown is forced to increase his office force to handle the volume of business that has come to his office. This medicine is sold by leading druggists, and those who use it do not hesitate to tell of its wonderful merits.—Evening Metropolis, Jacksonville, Fla. We wish to call special attention to an advertisement on the cover from a comparatively new enterprise in St. Augustine that bids fair to become one of the leading concerns of the kind in this section of the country. We refer to the Magnolia Remedy Company of which Dr. D. H. Brown is president. This concern is only a little more than a year old and has grown rapidly in the esteem and confidence of the public in all parts of the country. They manufacture a remedy for consumption, colds, coughs, pleurisy and all ailments of the respiratory organs. Dr. Brown, the discoverer of this remedy, which has already attracted such widespread and favorable attention, is a graduate of Meharry and a doctor of deep research.
