most growers of poultry, and often
troys whole broods of young chicks.
The disease is caused by a very slender,
thread-like, reddish worm,
Scientifically known as
This worm is characterized by

sexes,

greatly exceeds the male in size.
The worms are found only
in the wind-pipe of fowls to which they
cling on the walls, sucking
the blood of the parts. The female of
each pair produces 2.000 to

decay of the parent and

are mature couples and begin to
duce eggs. The hatching of the egg
occurs only when it is kept constantly
moist and at a temperature of about
degrees F. The sexes never pair ex-
in the wind-pipe of a fowl. If the
temperature is below degrees F. the
eggs not hatch, but will retain
their vitality for a year or more, pro-
they arc kept moist, hence con-
gapes is a wet land disease.
When the affected fowl gapes and
coughs for breath some- of the worms
with their eggs are ejected into the
water troughs where the fowls
congregate, evidently trying
to allay the inflammation in the wind-
pipe by drinking copiously. The
ejected worms or are greedily
eaten by other fowls present, or the
water containing them is drunk, thus
spreading the disease, and in largo
flocks producing a veritable epidemic
The best remarry is

drinking water four fluid ounces of a
solution of acid, made by dis-
solving grains of the dry acid in four
fluid ounces of clear, boiled rain water.
The pen in which the sick fowls are
kept should be as dry as possible, and
the ground should lie sprinkled twice
daily with water, to each quart of which
add four fluid ounces if commercial

The Tornado of 1833.
F. Meteorologist
The tornado which occurred at Ox-
ford on May 1893. was the most
storm of the kind which has
curred in North Carolina since 1884.
On that account it was investigated by
the State Weather Service. Full reports
have been received from Mr. Z.
Dr. J. E. R. O. and an
excellent map, reproduced below,
showing the path of the tornado, from
Dr. J. M. Hays.
The storm struck Oxford at minutes
before S o'clock p. m. It was a local
whirl within the area of a general
storm passing over the state from south
to north, and occurred just at the mo-
the or trough of
low pressure passed Oxford. It is re-
markable that there was an entire ab-
of any close or murky feeling
such as is usually said to precede a tor-
The day was cool, the tempera-
was about degrees; a moderate
thunderstorm prevailed with brisk
south to southwest winds. The total
rainfall was inches.
The path of the tornado was from
southwest to northeast through the
city, and its width about feet. The
buildings demolished or injured arc in-
on the chart by the letters A
to N. Four houses were destroyed and
nine others injured. A fair estimate of
the damage to property places the
amount at Only one person
was killed.
Several of the peculiar effects of tor-
were observed, as the
blowing t of the ends of buildings by
the expansion of the air within, the
whirling of heavy articles from the
south to the north side of the storm,
etc. Quantities of shingles and timbers
i were lifted up and scattered about, ltd
I chief effect seems to have been a crush-
action, and its force is indicated by
the destruction of prize
house a three-story structure of
brick strongly built.
It was very dark at the time of the
storm, so that persons within a few
hundred feet of its track were not
aware of what was occurring. There
is no evidence that any one saw a
cloud.
Commercial Bull Culture Carolina
Horticulturist, Experiment
The case with which flowering bulbs
of all sorts are grown in North Caro-
satisfied me long ago that a profit-
able industry could be built up here in
this line. Few people who use not;
familiar with the flower trade realize
the vast sums spent annually for bulbs
of Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Lilies
and the like. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars are annually sent abroad to.
Europe for bulbs, all of which
can be as well, or better, grown in
Carolina.
Mr. C. L. Allen, a leading New York
florist, seeing the superior quality of
Lily and Hyacinth bulbs sent from
North Carolina, wrote an article in the
American Agriculturist a year or so
ago, urging the commercial culture of
bulbs in North Carolina. The writer

and it. is likely that ere long men of
experience and means will start this
business here. In the Eastern part of
the state the of Tuberose bulbs
has for years been a matter i
importance, markets of New
York and London are mainly supplied
with North Carolina Tuberose
j But the tuberose has lost its

But there are many that

to the upland soils. Mr. Allen
thinks that the Piedmont section is
best for all bulbs and I have no doubt
that good bulbs can be grown all over
the State. But an experience in hand-
ling and cultivating these bulbs for
over thirty years makes me feel
that for Lilies and Dutch
at least, the black soils of the
coast region are far superior to any
other in the State. They are in fact
the same character of soil as that of
Holland in a climate incomparably
superior to that of Holland. If this
culture is once started in North Caro-
by men of experience there is no
doubt that a good and profitable in-
will Ive added to the State. At-
is being attracted to the State
by articles written by Mr. Allen and
myself, and lately a large Dutch grow-
of bulbs at in Holland,
wrote to Mr. Allen for further
saying that he is thinking of
transferring his business to this
try., In speaking of soil needed, this
gentleman says of Hyacinths,
arc planted in different one
year in a sandy one. another in a black
humus ground. Therefore it is of
great interest to choose a country
where different grounds are to be
found. Also that the ground must be
situated so that it will not suffer from
drought, nor where the bulbs will be
drowned These conditions are
easily found in the coast country of
North Carolina. We are strongly in
hopes that Hi is gentleman may be in-
to conic here and start this
which has been the source of so
much wealth to Holland and for which
our soils and climate are far superior.
Since writing the foregoing Mr. G L.
Allen writes that a year or so ago he
imported Lily bulbs from
France, which came in such bad order
that they were unlit to sell. He sent
them to the neighborhood of Southern
Pines and grew them there one season.
The result, he states, was astounding.
After one season's growth in North
Carolina they were letter bulbs than
any imported from Europe. He adds,
is plenty of land your State
selling for less than 510.00 per acre
that is just as good for the production
bulbs as the land in Holland that is
worth per acre. This is no idle
dream; having been frequently in
Holland to buy bulbs, know their
methods perfectly, as well as tho soil
and climate and know the bulbs can
produced here at much less price

Mr. Hunter L- Harris was
drowned near Little River
my in Cumberland county. Mr.
Harris was a native of Granville
county and was one of the bright-
est young men in the State- He
graduated with honor from the
University of North Carolina and
was then professor of
Mineralogy for a year, was
to the State Chemist, was at
Harvard during tho past session
where he won special mention from
Prof. and was at tho time
of his death engaged with Prof.
Holmes in a geological survey
of tho State. He and Prof.
Holmes were bathing in Little
river and not being able to swim
gave the alarm that he was in
water over his head. Prof- Holmes
pushed a log to him, and
in every way to save the
fortunate young man but to no
avail- He found, on account of
the strong eddy in the river that
it was impossible for him to swim
ashore with Mr. Harris, and in
consequence had to save himself,
and trust to the work he had done
in getting the log to him- The
young seems to have been
too much exhausted to hold on to
the log and finally had to let go
and find a watery grave. His
death will be lamented through-
out the State on account of the
promise he gave of being one of
our most useful citizens. His re-
mains were taken to Granville
county for interment
Rev. R- R- Day, a student from

study at the college made him
fall an easy victim to fever from
which he died. He was a young
minister of much promise and his
seemingly untimely death will be
much regretted by his many
friends throughout the State.

The Norfolk July
14th has a piece headed
in which it makes some
statements, though unintentional,
calculated to mislead. It gives no
name but says the young man is
from Greenville, N- C, and is
about to lose his mind because
some girl refused to marry him.
The young man to whom the
Virginian referred is one of con-
business interests and
has been a large factor in build-
up and sustaining tho tobacco
interest hero for the past
it is in justice to him and his in
that we write just briefly in
reference to the matter. The
young man is back here and if he
showed any symptoms of insanity
while in Norfolk ho is certainly
right side up now is perfect-
calm and composed and ready
for business again. The facts in
reference to the Norfolk episode
are very different from what are
currently reported, and lead us to
the belief that some enemies of
the young man have made them-
selves very busy in producing
occasion that might give some
coloring to some very slanderous
reports which they wish to cir-
in respect to the young
man. Few men under similar cir-
would have failed to
have spoken and acted a man-
that, when colored,
would not have given some
grounds for utterance that his
enemies might have used against
him. This view is very much
strengthened when it is known,
that the Odd Fellows here, of
which this young man is an hon-
member, upon seeing an ac
count of the affair, telegraphed
the Captain of Police of Norfolk
to name a lodge of the order there
with which they might
received no answer whatever
from this dignitary. From what
we are able to gather in reference
to the matter certain parties,
friends of man who is no
friend of the Greenville
man, took advantage of tho
condition of the party in
question produced by nervous
prostration to make his surround-
such that they might pro-
duce a sensation, and thereby use
it to the detriment of a man whom
they could in no other way
on account of his very excellent
standing at his home. In justice
to the splendid people who have
been thus wrongfully and we be-
willfully brought into notice
forbear to give tho particulars
at would unhesitating-
say believe the whole affair,
and we form our opinion from
facts given by the young man
himself, is so highly colored that
it may be pronounced a planned
effort to deceive and injure and
thereby advance the interest of
another.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular
Washington July
Facts are stubborn things, and
now that the Democrats have an-
opportunity to examine the pen
roll they are turning up every
day to prove that the claim made
by democrats for years, that mil-
lions of dollars were being paid
out illegal for pensions was
correct. Cases are numerous
where men are drawing a
month for total disability and
are in addition following
nary avocations and drawing the
same salaries as men.
Two cases of this sort turned
this week right here in Washing-
ton, one man a musician regular-
employed and the other a
government clerk, and there are
many more here- These two men
were re-examined and their pen-
reduced to and a
month respectively, and so
rent was the justice of the
that neither of them availed
of the right to appeal
from the decision of the board of
examiners.
A little incident occurred this
week at the Pension office which
shows that politics do not enter
into the present conduct of that
office- A Congress-
man called to protest against the
reduction of the pension of a prom

it clearly proves the

to have virgin soil every year for

now that has been planted for
five successive years and I be-
it improves every year. I
begin to prepare my plant land
as early after January 1st as a
favorable opportunity permits- I
give the land a thorough burning
with wood prepared for the
pose or old fence rails that are of
no other use and then apply my
manures which consists of
pounds cotton seed meal and a
light dressing of well pulverized
stable manure to the square
yards, with this preparation I
have never failed yet to get early
thrifty plants.

In the latter part of the fall I
thoroughly break up my land
deep and then haul about sixty
loads of good woods dirt with
which I compost about bush-

This kind of manuring builds
up the laud at the same time it
does well for the present crop. I

February I break the land again j

all the clods that may not

my rows three feet three inches

my compost and then mix about

course there are slight differences
of opinion among the farmers,

the most information. The
