Rear Admiral Walker's Quiet Rebuke
Silenced Pert Youth.
1 Rear. Admiral John G. 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. -

name, but you might call me Jack for

to apologize, the young fellow rushed
out .of the office without saying a
word.-New York News.
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."

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

Spanish peanut. 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. The.-,
oats crop is best in the eastern coun-.
ties where in places the yields are
heavy. Late oats show some improve
ment. Both grains have, been housed;'

HOLDS BODY NINE YEARS.
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.
Tho body has been viewed by thou
sands of people, Tji?ny of them En
glishmen, who hoped to Identify it
The skin retains its natural color, and
the sandy mustache and hair remain
as in life. The nose has become un
naturally sharp from having been
pinched by people who doubted if the
man was really dead. Over the head
of the mummy a. cuckoo clock is kept
going to keep him from getting lone
some.
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."
