How long will it take to reach these conclusions Answers should not be expected in a short time. In many cases several sea- sons of careful work will be necessary. In the meantime the Station seeks to disseminate valuable facts and truths which will enable farmers to make and save money. Is the North Carolina Station at doing all this and in addition, through the Fertilizer Control, it protects farmers from fraud in the sale of fertilizers. In this way it has already saved them millions of dollars. In answering respondents, it is always ready to give the best advice it can on agricultural subjects. Does the Station print the result of its work Yes. It issues frequent bulletins, and reports. These arc all free to those request them.

The disease is caused by a very slender, thread-like, reddish worm, Scientifically known as This worm is characterized by the of the sexes, rupturing the bodies The female 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 which remain within her body she dies. are then loosed by the decay of the parent and remain within the of the young me shell in a few days, and in a few days 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 Keep the fowls on dry per- soil. Feed generously, chopped onions or garlic occasion- ally. Wash out the water trough or pan daily with boiling water. If gapes is present among the fowls, separate the sick ones, add to each quart of 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 sulphuric acid. Where only a few fowls are a bit of camphor about the size of a grain of wheat may be forced down the throat of each will by its the worms. One drop of turpentine dropped into the throat has given good results. grains per head, may he fed ill a mash of corn meal. Chopped garlic or strong smell- onions will also be found beneficial. Turpentine rubbed on the of the throat will sometimes cause the worms to let go their hold. The use of a small feather or hair loop, dipped in turpentine and thrust down the wind- pipe of the sick fowl is often effective. The worms may either be withdrawn or else coughed out by the 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 1.1 tuts since tried to air. Allen in attracting attention to the capacity pf in this respect. 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 with fashionable people and the j for the bulbs has decreased- But there are many that are used in increasing quantities an- that can be grown here as well a Tuberoses. The best Lily soils in the State are the black peaty lands of . the immediate coast. also the bast land;,. Narcissus, i Roman Hyacinths, and Gladiolus are better for the upland districts. The j u 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 than and The Station will be glad to receive any question on agricultural topics any one may desire to send. Address oil questions to the C. Agricultural Experiment Raleigh, N. Replies will be written as early as by the member of the Station stall; most competent to do so. and. when of general interest, they will also appear in these columns. The Station expects, in this way, to its sphere of usefulness and render great assistance to practical farmers. The Culture Fertilizing of Potatoes.

The best seed use we have found to be potatoes of tho Fall crop grown here. They will always do better than any Northern seed, of same variety. You grown probably not of the Fall crop and had been kept too long for good results. If you would send into the truck sec- and buy the second crop seed you would them better than Northern.

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 Wake Forest, who was supplying the pulpit of Rev. R. T Vann at Scotland Neck, died there last week- He was from Surry county, and attempting to work during the summer after a year of hard 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. There has not been very much activity in railroad building in the first half of this year. It is said the cramped financial condition of the country has caused and the small profits by some of them, and heavy loses by others. They built such as was really necessary to fill up gaps, make connections or complete work already begun- The total of the new mileage was but a little over miles, of which miles were in the Southern States- Pennsylvania lead in new mileage Texas comes next with West Virginia 70- We clip the following special telegram to the Wilmington Mes- ganger which speaks for itself X, C, July 13th.-A letter to prominent State official states that Dr. Lewis, health officer of Northampton county, revolts the valence in its eastern section of a dis- ease Asiatic cholera. sons attacked by it die in six to hours and there have been twelve to fifteen deaths. An official examination will be made. The following we clip from the Raleigh O. Chronicle after the above was up in having been sent out from Raleigh stating that a dis- ease resembling cholera had made its appearance in North- county, Dr. R. H- Lewis, President of the State Board of Health, telegraphed Dr. W. H. Lewis. Superintendent of Health of Northampton county, as to the truth of the report and received the following Jackson, W.

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. N- C July Most of the Greenville party left on Steamer Gazelle day evening for home after spent a very pleasant week- Two or three families of them and a few of the young men stayed over f another week and some of them will remain here even longer. After my last letter there arrived from Pitt, C S- Forbes, F L Dancy, R. W. Ward and C P Moore, with quite a number also from Tarboro, Wilson and Wash- The Greenville certainly enjoyed every feature of amuse on the Island. The young folks sparked and danced when they got a few spare married folks fish- ed and the whole crowd bathed and sailed. W- H- and Ola Forbes had guns with them and found splendid shooting. They brought in plenty of game when they went out. Every morning after early several parties would go out and fish noon. Uncle John Cherry and Fleming seemed to have better luck in numbers than any of our crowd, but Prof. had the honor of hauling the trout with-John Ivy Smith a close competitor. They both landed fine ones. Col. Williamson, of Asheville, continued to lead the Island with big fish. Wednesday he made another fine haul in the shape of a twenty-two pound red drum- He caught this big fish with an ordinary trout line and consumed one hour and a half in landing him. The colonel is also a great catcher of sheep head. Mr. R- D- Cherry gave a com- sail to Miss Alice Wilson on Thursday morning- Through the kindness of Mrs. L- B- of Washington, who has the only buggy on the island, the editor and family en- joyed a delightful drive on the beach- With such a beautiful for driving it is a wonder there are not more buggies here horses are so numerous. Host Mayo is exerting himself to please the guests and is seeding in doing so. The fare continues to get better. At one supper I noticed deviled crabs, oysters and four varieties of fish on the table- Oysters are served nearly every day, and clams and fish are plentiful. Prof. Dibble, of Washington, conducts the tonsorial parlor and is also head waiter in the dining room, and in either capacity serves well- Among the late arrivals are W- P. and family, G- kens and family, J. R- Wynne, and family, H. N. Blount and family, Mrs- A- W. Thomas and children, all of Washington, Mr. Davis and family of Wilson.

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 Democratic in his district, and said that the man had Influence enough to throw his district, which is close, to the Re- publicans.

Blow came very near meeting with a serious accident a few days ago. He rode out in the country with Dr. Frank and was sitting in the buggy at the front gate near the railroad track when he heard an train. He got down and went to the horse's head to hold him case he became frightened. Just then the train blew the horse made a lunge throwing Mr. Blow about ten feet in a ditch. It was at first thought he had received severe in- juries but when he arose and blew the sand from his nose and mouth, discover- ed that he was only badly frightened. How To Keep Coed.

There is only one sure course for an editor to pursue, and that i. to carefully consider the views of his advisers, but always rely upon his own judgment for final action.

It commenced in Mr. D. M- Edwards, field and almost entire- destroyed acres of his to- It then pursued a south east course striking the farms of Mr. W. G. Lang, R. B Turner, J. J. Nobles almost literally the entire crop of every kind. Reports from near show that it was more terrific there than where it first started. Last week we had the pleasure of spending a few days in Falk- land township and while we didn't have the time to pee all the crops, what we did see are looking very well indeed. This section of the county has drenched with more washing rains than any other in the county and it clearly proves the we made several weeks ago, that the rains had come at the season of the year when tobacco was young undeveloped and there would be plenty of for improvement after the rains had pass- ed. This is true to a dot. Tc- that two weeks ago looked yellow hard today looks green and Mr. J. H Smith has a line field of tobacco while walking through it. he showed us rows. just acre, on which he had used pounds of commercial fertilizer on the other there was only pounds. The rows ill make a third more tobacco to the acre than the other with pounds. Mr. E. J. Turner with Mr. Henry Harriss has a flourish- crop of the weed. He says he intends competing for the premium offered by F. S. Royster raising and in reply to our question how do you prepare your plant beds he In order to obtain healthy vigorous plants do not think it necessary to have virgin soil every year for plant beds. I am using a bed 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. FIELD. 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- els of stable manure to the acre. This kind of manuring builds up the laud at the same time it does well for the present crop. I The last of January or 1st of I February I break the land again j harrow thoroughly to all the clods that may not have been broken by the plow. I believe in a thorough of laud to secure a good crop of tobacco, I then run off my rows three feet three inches by three feet on the bed, put my compost and then mix about pounds guano and pounds on nearly every matter of in tobacco culture- Of course there are slight differences of opinion among the farmers, from which we may expect to get the most information. The in opinion among men that have made tobacco culture a success naturally create as to which is the best The answer to these is of course accounted for in the difference in the soils, plan and kind of manuring season and a great many natural all of which is a reasoning school wherein the application of practical common sense is the lesson taught.
