THE BONNER CASE.
[Special tu Reflector. |
WasHINGTON, Jan. 24."There is a
general impression here that the de-

~the witnesses they placed unoa the
stand.
Several witnesses were put on to
prove the character of the Bell boys.
All of them who know Sherrill said his
character was good, but several said
that Uriah had been wild since his fath-
er moved from Aurora to Hyde coun-
ty. One witness said that Uriah had
been wild for two years, and several said
he would get drank and go to
festivals.

A truly remarkable story of feline
intelligence was lately told by a cor-
respondent of the London Spectator.
Indeed, it might fairly be called in-
credible, only that the correspondent,
as will be seen, vouches for its truth.
He says: oEP am induced to send
yeuanaccouut of a remarkable in-
stance of feline sagacity which occurred
in my house last week. About a_fort-
might ago my black Persian cat brought
te the house a young sparrow, and tak-
ing it to the front door mat, began
stripping it of its feathers. The cook,not
approving ot the litter made by the
said feathers, doubled the mat
and told the cat he

Cultivation of the Peach Tree.
The North Carolina Experiment
Station has just published a special
bulletin on the cultivatioon of the
peach tree, which includes articles
on the peach tree and _ its para-
sites by Gerald McCarthy, Botanist
and Entomologist; also planting, prun-
ing and cultivation of the peach, by
W. F. Massey, Horticulturist. As this
bulletin may not be of general inter-
est to all parts of the state, it will be
sent out only to those who make ap-
plication for it. The different subjects
treated include apparatus and remedics
required to check insect enemies of the
peach, as well as fungous diseases. The
special insect enemies mentioned are
rootborer, the curculio, the June beetle,
the rose beetle, peach tree louse, period-
ical cicada, the soft scale, West India
peach scale, San Jose scale, parasitic
nematode worms. The fungous diseas-
es described with remedies so far as.
known, are the following: Peach yel-
lows, brown rot, peach scab or mildew,
peach leaf curl,shothole disease, root rot
or pourridie. The New York law for pre-
venting the spread of contagious dis-
eases among peach orchards is given in
full so that when the industry becomes
of sufficient magnitude in this state,
similar laws may be inaugurated here,
Ameng the subjects discussed in the
bulletin in reference to the cultivation
of the peach are: the soil best adapted
for the orchard, varieties of trees to
plant in different sections of the state,
when and how to prune, to fertilize,
and to gather and to ship the crop, The
extensive planting of the peach in th»
east is not advised at this time. The
largest orchards in the state are those
in the sand hill regions of Moore and
adjoining counties, but many choice lo-
cations can be found further west by
avoiding low valleys and sunny slopes,
which subject the orchard to destruc-
tion by frosts.
Only a limited edition of this bulletin
is issued and parties in this state desir-
ing to read it had best apply at once to
eae B. Battle, Director, Raleigh,
Questions and Keplies.
The Station will be glad to extend its
usefulness by answering as far as pos
sible questions on agricultural tonics sent

Trellis For Grapes and Pruning.

formation the Station has to dispuse of.
"B. W.H., Merry Hill. N.C.
[Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticul-
turist, N.C. Experiment Station. |
Iam inclined to think from a slight
experience that the Munson trellis is the
best method of training vines in this
climate. This is the mode devised by
Mr. Munson, a noted fruit grower of
Texas. The plan is to set posts along
the rows at moderate distances, and
from four to six feet high. On these
posts cross pieces are nailed two feet
long, and wires are stretched along the
centre of the tops of the posts, and from
the end of the cross pieces, making
three horizontal lines of wires a foot
apart. The vines are trained on long
canes alony the central wire, and the
fruit woud is. trained to the side wires,
and allowed to hang over. New canes
are trained out annually to take the
places of those that have borne and are
to be cutaway. We have some trained
in this way at the Station and they di
well. We uever prune grapes here till
March, as those pruned in the fall are
apt to start untimely in the spring and
get hurt by a return of cold. At that
late date the bleeding does not amount
to much, as the foliage soon stops it.
In any mode of training the main ob-
ject is to have a good supply of strong
one-year-old wood. If you train ona
perpendicular trellis, ran the trellises
north and south, so that one will not
shade the other, Stretch three wires
starting 18 inches from the ground, and
a foot apart, and prune fan shape, cut-
ting out annually the wood that has
borne and train up strong canes four or
five feet long for the new crop.

C.S., Maribel, N.C.
[Answered by H. B. Battle, Director

I would suggest the following pro-
portions :
Acid phosphate... ....... 1,200 pounds.
Fish scrap.......... secu ee 500 pounds.
Kainit.........0.....0.0085 300 pounds.
This will give a mixture about equal
to, if not better, than the ordinary am-
moniated fertilizer and cheaper in cost,
As a compost. using stable manure and

course a larger application é6f the com-

Suabsoiling and Preparing Land ForPotatoes.
bive sane taorae or dour aceas of semte
foam that I intend to plant in~ late Irish
potatoes next year. This land has a san-
dy subsoil with some clay. It has never
been plowed deeper than from four to
seven inches. Would it pay to subsoil
this land and if so, how deep? I have
some land that I will turn at once for
corn. It is red clay with almost no sand
at all, in fact in many places there is no-
sand at all. Would it be an advantage to
this land to subsoil it? Iam trying the
experiment of raising late Irish potatoes.
{or eur home market."A. S., Booneville,
{Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticul-
turist. N. C. Experiment Station.}
It will certainly pay. you well to sub-
soil this land this fall as soon as possi-
ble. It would have been far better for
the potato crop if you had gotten a
growth of clover or peas on it this sum-
mer, and had some vegetable matter to:
plow under for the potato crop. Iwould
advise to plow the land at once and sub-
soil it, and sow rye on it to be plowed
under in the spring, soas to give you
some. vegetable matter for the potatoes.
The red land would be more benefitted
by the same treatment than any other.
A good growth of peas the summer be-
fore, followed by crimson clover sown
among the peas in August and plowed
under in the spring will be the best
preparation for the potato crop, and if
on the peas you apply a good dressing
of acid phosphate and muriate of pot-
ash, you will get better results on the
potato crop than by applying all the fer-
tilizer to the potatoes direct. There is
nothing like a good coat of vegetable
matter for the potato crop.

Lansing about an hour when we be-

cars were not 50 yards ahead of us
when we came to a stop. If I hadnTt
