Walker de votes more time to canal matters than to fashion plates and could hardly be called spick and span in the civilian clothes he wears at his work. A stranger would be far more likely to take Admiral Walker for a country man than a retired army officer. His lons whiskers are of the type so popu lar with rural dramas, and his rolling walk might well be taken for the movement acquired by following a plow. A brusque young man in search of the canal commission encountered Ad miral Walker in a corridor of the Cor coran^ building in Washington and ' aeked pertly J "Can you tell me where I will find -Walker?" "Yes," Admiral Walker replied. ?"Just come with me." . The dapper young fellow followed Admiral Walker into his office. The Admiral took a seat behind his desk and invited the young 'man to sit down. "Well, what can I do for you?" Ad miral Walker asked of the young man, who began to squirm uneasily ia his chair. - ram Walker," the Admiral contin ued. "John G.

The Secret of Generosity. . "Would there be so many'marriage wrecks if the secret of generosity were learned?" asks Lillie Hamilton Franch aptly in the July Delineator. This author, who, of course, writes her thoughtful articles on "The Joy of Living," from a woman's stand point, goes on to tell of two women who found their husbands exacting, and of the happy results brought about by the generous yielding of the wife in one of these cases. The wri ter concludes: "But the genreous are always im posed upon. They end by being rob bed,' the little soul exclaims. 'People, drain us when we give too much, and then when they have all they want they throw us over.' The little soul can never understand that the g?ner ous soul is never robbed. It is Jike the sun itself-it radiates. Its busi ness is to add to life the joy of its cheer." Did Not Hear lt.

Office Over Mai .fi-E % TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THEPLANTl Usine Weeders. The weeder is a harrow of very light consn? ction and takes a wide strip each time. Th? name is appro priate up North and West, where the great pest the farmer must fight is the vigorous crop of weeds. Down South we have grass rather than weeds. It should be called the grass killer for us. Promptness in the use of this im plement is all important. The grass can be killed in the sprout even before i? appears above ground. Grass rarely ever comes up on soil that has been stirred since the last shower. But it comes rapidly on a crust. Now, if this .point is remembered, we see the im portance of breaking the crust that forms after every shower. If this is done promptly, we will have no grass. The weeder, with its fine, springy steel teeth, does this work nicely. Gra'ss roots are rarely over one-h?lf to three-quarters of an inch deep for sev eral days. Hence, if the crust is brok en the grass and young weeds are de stroyed. Corn and cotton have deeper roots and the weeder docs not injure them but very little. If a rain causes a crust to form before these crops come up, the weeder should be used at once. This will not only destroy the coming crop of grass, but will greatly assist the tender plants in coming upk The weeder can be used to advan tage until~tbe~cotton or corn is eightj or ten inches high. You can run with the rows or across them just as you prefer. By going over the crop once a week with the weeder the cost of cultivating is very greatly reduced. Less plowing and' less hoeing arc re quired. The weeder is a great labor saving tool. As labor is scarce this season, the weeder becomes the more neces sary. Improved machinery lessens the cost of cultivation. The frequent stirring of the soil helps aeration to make the plant food available and in this way takes the place of increased quantities of fertil izers. "Culture is manure" has been proven true. It is cheaper and more permanent than chemical fertilizers. A good two-horse team will go over twelve to fourteen acres per day with a weeder, and one horse can go over six to eight acres.-Southern Cultiva tor. A Few Live Stock Itemed Mr. J. 0. Thomas, of Isle tVigbt County, Va., the well-known curer of the celebrated Smithfield hams, and himself an old farmer and hog keep er, says that he gets so much valua ble information from the Planter that he feels it only right that he should contribute something that may be of service, to other farmers. For Diseased Hogs-Arsenic, he says, is oue of the best medicines for hogs when threatened with cholera or when a sow is weak in the loins or cannot walk from diseased kidneys, or when she has been served and not proved with pig. He gives the arsenic in doses of a teaspoonful for a grown hog every other day until they have had three doses. He gives the arsenic on a piece of meat, buttered bread, or .anything you can get the hogs to take. For Scours in Horses-Take a small bunch of sweet mint, such as you use in a julep and cut it fine on a plate, and then sprinkle it on a feed of bran, meal or oats. If given to a mare suckling a colt, it will have the de sired effect on the colt, or the juice .'.may be given with milk to a colt which is being hand raised. For Grubs in the Backs of Cattle Moisten a cloth with coal oil and rub every other day on the backs of the cattle, being careful to touch each place where there is a grub. This will kill all the grubs, and they can then be squeezed out with the thumb and finger. Two or three applications are sufficient. Warts on Horses-Pure hog lard ap plied twice a week will remove all seed warts on horses. Scratches-Horses suffering from scratches should have the legs washed .with warm soapsuds, then be rinsed with clean water and be rubbed dry. Then apply pure white lead ground in o'1. Wherever the lead gets rubbed orf appiy again each night. Keep the horses out of mud and water and the scratches will soon disappear. Feeding Peanut Hay to Steers. Animal Husbandry Department of the experiment station has been con ducting some interesting feeding ex periments during the past season. As the steers are still in the lots it is too early to compare the value of the dif ferent rations for fattening purposes. Some points of interest have already developed, however, which will be use ful to those planning to feed cattle next winter. In the discussion of the necessary diversification of crops, considerable prominence ba? bean given to the X IN BUILDING MATERIAL ROOFING" CESS TIN PLATE" CEILING, *G, WE 4THER BO ?RDING TDS, METAL SHIN GLES, S, DE 1LIN?G FELTS, BUILEING PAPERS URES, WEATHER STRIP, IXTURES, PLASTER, G, .

This plant is highly nitrogenous in composition and very valuable for milking aud growing stock. Since it has beeu very little used for fattening it was used as the roughage for one lot of cattle in tho experiment still in progress. Another lot received alfalfa hay for roughage. Other lots received cotton seed hulls, but all were fed a grain ration of cot ton seed meal and rice bran. While the steers receiving peanut hay aud alfalfa ate all their food with a keen relish it was apparent at about the third week that their gaius were not as heavy as those made by the other lots, The highly nitrogenous character of the peanut and alfalfa hay, combined with the same charac teristic in the cotton seed meal pro duced a looseness and scouring which made good gains impossible. It was surmised at the outset that this trouble would manifest itself, but it was desired to learn just how Sci ous it would be and in what manner the results would show themselves. This does not argue anything against the value of these feeds-, but does show that where they are to be relied upon for fattening purposes corn or a similar material should be furnished as the other part of the ration. Plant Forage Crop. When the staple crops-corn, cotton -a nd :-tobacco-ha ve-beeit-j^torited^-frndr-l started, on their growth, time should be taken to plant forage crops to sup plement the pastures and to make feed for stock during the winter. The Importance of these crops has been emphasized by the long winter through which we have just passed. Ou hun dreds of farms throughout the South where no special provision had been made by means of forage crops for the feeding of the stock, but the old cus tom of relying.on thc fodder from the corn crops and such hay as had been saved had Jjeeu followed, the stock have had to go short of feed and have come through the winter in worse condition and.are worth less money now than wiieu they went into winter quarters. This is poor farming and bad economy. To keep stock without its constantly improving in weight and value is a waste of food and time and a loss of interest on the money invest ed in the animals. To merely keep them to make manure ls uot sufficient, especially when that manure is made only from shortened rations, of no high nutritive value. It cannot under such circumstances be of anything like the value for the improve)- ut of the land .which it ought to be. Where stock are well fed on rations rich in protein and carbohydrates the manure made will largely pay for the cost of keeping the animals, and will, with the increase in weight of the animals, make stock keeping a profitable busi ness, and result in a farm highly im* proved in productive capacity by the application of the manure to the land. Such manure will return to the soil not merely the vegetable refuse which makes humus, but will also return to the soil something like seventy-five per cent, of thc nitrogen and mineral fertility contained in tho food. Now that the South is becon g so much more largely a stock kee, ig country, the necessity for the making of forage crops is a subject demanding atten tion. There is no section of the whole country where forage crops of so groat variety and of such great luxuriance of growth can be made as in the Sr.-ith. While some other sections can make as fine bay crops, nowhere else can such enormous yields of forage and-so many crops be made in the time as in the South. In making choice of the crops to be grown, attention should be given to the feeding value of the same. Some are rich in protein, the muscle and flesh forming elements, while oth ers are rich in the carbohydrates, the makers of fat and heat. There should be selection mode from both types, so that the animals may be fed a bal anced ration, and thus be enabled to make growth and fat.-Southern Planter. Best Methods With Beans and Fons. Beans and peas should not be plant ed in very rich ground, as such land has a tendency to cause them to run to vine instead of seed. It should be in a state of good fertility sufficient to , cause moderate growth of vine. Suc cesslonal crops of English peas should be planted as soon as possible in or der that they may make their growth and seed before the hot weather sets in, as this is very liable to cause mil dew in this crop. Plant all these crops in long straight rows wide enough apart so that they can be worked with horse power. In planting lima, butter and pole? beans see that the poles are well set in the ground, so that they will not bo easily blown over. Dwarf lima beans will save the cost and trouble of setting poles, and they make a good yield, but not {M> J heavy as the climbing varieties. PALMETTO CROPS PROGRESSING ?Tbe Past Week's Conditions" as Re ported by the Department. J. W. Bauer in his weekly crop bulle tin says: The week ending 8 a. m., June 13th, had a mean temperature of 75 degrees, which is about 4 below nor mal, due to nearly normal tempera tures during the first four days and ab normally cool weather during the last three. The cool weather was accom panied by fresh to brisk northeast winds and unusually low relative-hur midity. The sunshine was normal in places and below in other. The great portion of the State had from one to over two inches of rain on three days. The upper Savannah val ley had less than an inch, while in parts of York county and a few small areas in other sections, the drought is unbroken, and crops are suffering for moisture. Streams are very low, and* many wells are failing In the central counties. A destructive wind and hail storm passed through Pickens county; the track of the hail storm was about one^ half a mile wide and all crops in the path were destroyed. There were also damaging wind storms in Spartanburg and Sumter counties, and hail occurred at various places in the northern and' northeastern counties doing some dam age to crops. The weather was generally favorable for cultivation of field crops, but with large areas where the ground was too wet to work, and where fields have be come foul. As a-rule corn, cotton, to bacco, rice and minor crops are clean, and well cultivated^ and have made marked improvement during the .last week. Corn made steady improvement in all parts of the State, and, although small, is growing nicely and. has a healthy color. Earliest corn is being laid by. With few and unimportant excep tions, cotton has now attained ful):, stands, although somewhat irregular ones as to size. The plants are small for the season, but have good colo: j and are growing nicely. Lice are re ported from Abbeville county. Square: have been reported from nearly all sec-, tions, and a few blooms have been-; noted in Orangeburg county. In places' fields arc becoming foul. Sea Island cotton shared in the general improve-. ment and now has full but irregular stands and good color. Tobacco improved, and is being1; "primed." Rice planting continues and,; the crop is making satisfactory growth. Wheat and oats harvest is nearing com pletion; the yields of wheat are best in' the extreme western counties and only'.' fair to poor in the central ones.

Undertaker Is Still Walting for Em balmed Mummy to Be Identified. A man who is believed to have be longed to a noble EngliBh family died from exposure in Wayne nine years ago and his body still lies unclaimed In the morgue of S. P. Frankenfleld's Sons, says a dispatch from Ardmore, Pa. Mack wa3 employed for several years by R. ?H. Johnson, a contractor of Wayne. He was a man of educa tion and culture, and, according to rumor, was the heir to a British title which, for some mysterious reason, he would not or could not claim. When the man died J. S. Pearce, at that time an undertaker, but who has since retired, embalmed the body and decided to hold it until it should be claimed. No one ever claimed ii, ?rd, as the embalming was unusually suc cessful, a number of efforts have been made by museums to purchase the body, but Mr. Pearce says he will not surrender it except to some membei of Mack's family.

The nose has become un naturally sharp from having been pinched by people who doubted if the man was really dead.

Twine from Wisconsin Wire Grass Wire grass twine is a now product of tho Northwest, which promises to relieve the stringency of the supply of Manila twine during the wheat har vest season, The wire grass from which the twine is made Is grown in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and other products as well as twine, are made from lt. C. W. Crawford of Indianapo lis, explained the nature of the new product: "For the last ten years or more," he said, "the wheat harvest season ha- assumed the aspect of a bugbear to farmers who did not have a large supply of twine on hand. Without twine binders cannot run, and without binders it is impossible to harvest v.-heat. "The only variety of twine that could be used In tho past was the Manila variety, Imported from the) Philippine Islands. The supply of that always gave out before the. harvest ended, and the lack of It often occa sioned great loss. The new wire grass has proved to be equal, if not superior to Manila twine, and the farmers may rest easy now." ^Rir^ArlouseholiIfte?lyj CUITO ?S?
