The disadvantage of having grass or growing crops in an orchard is not entirely due to the chance of the crops robbing the soil of fertility needed i>y I the trees. If it was it would be easi- i ly remedied by the manure applied to | the hoed crops, of which the trees i would get their share, or by tu ning I sheep into the orchard to eat the grass and the fallen wormy fruit, who Would enrich the soil by tlieir droppings. But the greater trouble conies from the I summer and fall droughts when the I t^ees need all the moisture to perfect I their fruit If the grass or ether surI fnoo rrnn tnkes it there will be a large amount of fruit fall which might have been saved if there had been moistu:c enough to carry it through to maturity.

She eaVt find out why green sorghum should t e so quickly fatal to cattle, says an exchange. Sorghum rapidly is coming into favor as a forage crop. Owing to the large yields obtainable and to its high feeding value, stockmen are beginning to depend upon this crop for fodder and roughage. But latali ties in herds pastured on the the growing cane are frequently rei>orted. With the increased use of this crop for forage there has followed an increase in the number of fatal cases. Cases are recorded of cattle dying within five minutes after entering a sorghum pasture. The true reason for this fatal effect is net known, but many stockmen believe it may be found.in the presence on the leaves of the cane of poisonous fungi. One Nebraska farmer was driving bis cow across a small strip of cane, and oefore the animal had gone more than -? few rods she dropped, and in a f?w minutes she was dead. Another cow that was killed by greeu sorghum had eaten only one stalk, apparently, and that was still In her throat. The Nebraska agricultural experiment station has analyzed stalks of green sorghum that, being partly eaten by < attle. h id killed them. It found none of the common known vegetable poisons excepting a small quantity of oxalic aOd that could not be fatal. Skill In th? Garden. The gardeners work depends mor.> upon skill than upon strength. Tli grub hoe. the pick and the breaking up plow for new land need to be strong but in the garden a light tool in good condition will make the work ea*i? r and accomplish more than the heavy tool. Keep the hoes sharp and tie teeth of the cultivator and horse hoc down to a cutting edge, and good points on the plows, and keep everything clean and bright, so that d id will not adhere to them to double the'r weight and lessen their efficiency. The light tool may net last as long as tinheavy one and if it seems to be using up the hoe very fast to grind it even, day, at least it is b.tter to wear o;ii several hoes than one man or boy. Many a boy has become disgusted with : farm work aiul with the farm itsdr. simply because lie was given woruont tools to work with, which had been conuleuimecl as unfit for a good workman to use. Tut such tools into the junk heap, or lay them away to be usee j only in cases of extreme emergency, and give the boys good tools and teaci i them how to use them and take care of them, .and even if they do spoil Thenby not knowing how to use them, it will lie better than spoiling the boys We remember when our fathers bought us a new hoe. small and light suitable for a boy. and in showing us how to use it he found it work so we 1 and easily that it was not long before he had a new one nimself.?American Cultivator. I New Way of Branding;. A 1 hiimono npvsnn irniilil I au? wuujuwu rv?vw- ?vv.... be glad to know of some way of J branding which would not bo so cruel | as many of the old methods. It serins that Walter A. Cameron of Stacy, Mont., has invented an instrument to be used with an indelible fluid instead of burning. It would seem that it would be an effective and permanent ! marking and probably as convenient, or more so than most of the old methods. j The branding instrument, as de [ scribed by the Scientific American, consists of two levers pivoted together i and provided with jaws. On the lower jaw a soft metal impression block is secured, and cn the upper jaw a | block is carried, having a chamber communicating by means of a tube with a reservoir containing the indelible fluid. The tube incloses a plunger operated from the upper lever and is provided with lateral ports at its upper | and lower ends. The lower ports per mit the fluid to flow into the chnm bored block when the plunj; r is raised unil the upper ports permit the liquid above the pluup r to be forced l a> K into the reservoir. Symbol carrying plates are removably secured to the chambered block. ! The symbols consist of b. tt'TS. Hj:; tires or other chnrabtbrs, and are ! formed Of tubular pins. In using the instruments the levers are used to sop urate the jaws. Ify reason of this nio! tion the plunder will be drawn upward to permit the liqu'd front the r. servoir to flow into the chamber. After placing the impression block cnrriid oy tht* lower jaw against the outer mhi' | of the miimnl's oat- the levers are : eporated to force the tubular pins into j the ear, therein* cn Using the plunger to j inject the liquid into the wound.

A smaller bed moderately close and compact is much more satisfactory and effective. A great deal can be done however, to improve a bed that appears slightly bare at first, by slightly pinching bark.

To keep up vigorous growth give the beds a top-dressing of fine manure, which will also act as a mulch to the plants and be of great benefit to them. L>o not let the soil become hard; it should be stirred frequently to keep the plants in good growing condition, and with this slight care the bedding plants will soon become compact and filled with b'ooming branches that win keep up a continual display of summer and fall bloom. To lie successful with the summer bloomers practical common sense will be more satisfactory than all the luck theories. Many professed lovers of flowers cling to the fallacy that success in the culture of plants is. purely a matter of "luck." They think that "flowers always grow for some folks." while others "never have a bit of luck" with them. This theory should be exploded as speedily as possible. It bas no foundation, in fact, it is purely Jarlacious. Luck rarely lias any part >n the successes of life, and it has little to do with success in the culture of flowers. Success in this direction is a question of unceasing watchfulness, industry and information, with a mixture of common sense.

DEMOCRATS WIN THE VICTORY flafiort Butler Turned Down and Adoption of Amendment Will Disfranchise Many Negroes. The elections in Korth Carolina Thursday for state officers, membefit of the legislature and county officers and for an amendment looking to a practical elimination of the negro from politics, ttere unexpectedly quiet. By far the greatest interest centered the ficrht ntpr the amendment. Over ^ ? o? - ~ the state a great many negroes voted for it. The faculty of Livingstone college^ at Salisbury, one of the most prominent negro educational institutions in the souths voted for it. The amendment was opposed by the ftision fbtces of the Populists and Republicans headed by Senators Butler and rriteliahl aiid the campaign was the most taittei" staged in the state since reconstruction days. There was a full poll of the democratic strength, which, combined with a small negro vote and some Populist and Republican votes, rolled np an unprecedented majority. Spencer B. Adams, fusion nominee for governor, wac defeated by Charles B. Aycock, democratic nominee, fully 40,000 majority. All other state officers w?re elected by equal majord ties. The legislature is democratic in both branches. The election through out the state was generally quiet and peaceable, the negroes, as a general thing, remaining away from the polls; _ The voting in Raleigh was the quietest ever known. Business was sus^ pended and the day was Sabbath-like. There was no disturbance and no aiS rests. The negroes who had registered polled wit.hiu fifty votes of the registered strength. About fifteen of them voted for the franchise amendment and the Democratic state ticket. The ne^*8 which came in during the day from other parts in the state was that the election Was extremely quiet and that the democrats polled theif greatest tote at a number of points. Never in any electiou was interest sd intense.

Wi Potato Blight it is not yet fully decided, or at least parties are not all agreed, whether the leaf blight is the cause of the potato rot, or whether they are entirely different fungus resulting from similar conditions. We incline to the latter opinion, because we have found rotten potatoes where we saw no leaf blight. But It is surely the case that when the leaf is badly blighted the crop is damaged, and there is likely to be rotten potatoes in the bill. It is, therefore, better to prevent the blight by spraying with the Bordeaux mixture. It is not claimed that this will cure the blight when it has once got a foothold, but is is a preventive, and even may check its spread when it has appeared in a part of the field. The directions given by the experiment stations for effectual work in this is to begin spraying when the vines are six inches high, and repeat one in 10 days or two weeks, as long as the vines remain green, which they arc said to do much longer than when not sprayed. This gives a longer season of growth, even on fields where the blight would not have come, and this results in a heavier crop. A case has been reported where part of a field was sprayed and part left without the treatment. The blight did not appear in either part, but the sprayed part kept green longer and yielded more. The cost of material to spray an acre is placed at about 50 cents each time, and the number of applications at from five to seven?American Cultivator. Bee's As a Late Crofc.
