THE PIERSON MEETING. CABBAGE IN THE SOUTH. The comine of Dr A. T. il Pierson to Asheboro was of but few hours' notice, and to the majority of i the citizens of the town he was nn- known, notwithstanding the fact ( that he is a character of both na t tional and international reputation. ? f i Dr. Pierson has served as pastor in J UOIue Ol II1C gicai unco vj. j-iiaiv s and America, notably among these I are London, England; New lork, Philadelphia and Detroit, in the United States. He has for more than twenty years been the acceptable and successful editor in chief of the ! Missionary Review of the World a periodical enjoying a large and ' wide circulation in Christian coun tries and is a monthly visitor to all IMission fields in every land. He has written more than forty books and pamphlets covering the various subjects of Christian liter ature, perhaps the most important of these is the "Miracle of Missions" Jwhich has greatly accelerated the missionary interest among the En glish speaking people Dr. Pierson's series of services in Asheboro began at the Presbyterian cnnrch Monday nignt ineui mat. The subject of this first sermon v;was first Cor. 11, 30-32. and was a fine effort of a well trained mind, a I properly drawn picture of the aston- ishing inactivity of the church of this age. j The first lecture was also in the ?. Presbyterian church Tuesday after s noon subject, the structure of the i Bible, the formation of the sixty flix books into one perfect and 'symmetrical whole, proving most j conclusively considering the dura tion of time and circumstances, that the Divine hand guided and i the Divine mind shaped this perfect arrangement. After this service, the i lectures were at the Presbyterian : church, and the evening discourses were at the Methodist Episcopal f church South. j Tuesday evening's dii-ourse ' was upon the subject of temptation, ! based upon the first chaptei of ' James, it showed, not only, the i fearful consequences of yielding to j tempt ition, but also the strengthen t ing power and victory achieved by i the disciple who successfully resists. Wednesday afternoon Continua j tion of lecture upon the Bible, the -r special subject of this hour was : prophecy. The speaker took up p many of the prophecies of the Old V I Testament from Genesis 1 3 Malachi, tv ; in reference to a coming Savior, 'I'y covering a period of nearly four J thousand years, showing their per- jj feet and minute fulfilment in the B coming life, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ, .si Wednesday night subject, fel- Hl lowship with God, shown in two aji words ju3tificition and reconcilia- anty tion. Justification was shown to be o-f: a judicial act, that when God for- 20T gives sin He treats the person as 24 though no sin had been committed. The speaker also snowed tnat re cone'lation is not a matter of feel ing, but aa act of the human will in a positive choice. Thursday afternoon continuation of lecture upon the Bible. Subject types, which was to my mind the best talk of the week," being very conclusive in proofs of the Divine inspiration of the Bible. Thursday night the la9t service of the week was used by Dr. Pier son to describe the great revival in the kingdom of Wales, showing the steps that led up to it and the re sults which followed. Outlining the method by which a revival may be produced anywhere and at any time. Those talks were the fruit of a ripe experience after a long and careful study of the word of God. Having been requested to write this for the Courier, I decided that to follow the course persued above, to take tbe talks in the order in which they came would be most satisfactory. ABheboro has been highly honored in the presence of a visitor of such eminent qualifications and distin guished reputation, and those who failed to hear all, or a part of those talks, have missed an opportunity that may never come to them again. W. A. Bunch. April 7, 1906. If you ever bought a box of Witch Hazel Salve that failed to give you satisfaction the chances are that it did not have the name "E. C.

There la growing wild over a large stretch of territory all through south and southwest Texas on atl kinds of soil and under all kinds of conditions, along river banks and away off on up lands a small bush-like walnut known commonly as Mexican black walnut (Juglans rupestrls). Tor the past eight yenrs this writer has been carrying on experiments with the above mentioned species as stock for the Persian wal nuts, with most flattering and encour aging results. A small grove of young trees of Juglans rupestrls top budded In 1890 bore three good crops in suc cession. The experiments with pecans on this stock are of too recent nature to war rant going into detuils, but there Is reason to believe that pecans will suc ceed ou this stock equally well. An. other advantage lu using this stock, if further experiments prove successful, Is the fact that the seed can easily be obtained in quantities and sprouts as easily, and It furnishes as good a stand iu nursery row as will peach pits. It would be advisable, I think, if the experimenters in other pnrts of our country which are naturally adapted to nut growing would carry on experi ments along this line. I forgot to say that my experiments clearly point out that In using rupestrls stock there Is danger of cross pollenization. In one of the trees a small limb was left unbudded. In the first year when the scions bore this limb was small and bore no catkins; the Persian wal nuts were of a paper shell variety, the same as on the parent tree from which the scions wyre taken. The following ye'ar, when tho unbudded limb had grown larger and borne both nuts and catkins, the pollen of tho wild stock clearly brought about a change as to the size, shape and thickness of shell lot the Persian walnut, practically pro ducing a hybrid. G. A. Schattenberg. FLOWER BED DESIGN. The Dahlia Furnishes a Very- Novel and Pleasing Idea. Winter being the time when the gar dener has most leisure to consider Ideas for the coming season, a suggestion Is here submitted In the picture of a dah lia bed. This, however, is so called be cause it is patterned after a dahlia In form, and it is not, In fact, composed of dahlias. A writer in Floral Life mentions it among the interesting fea tures of the Girnrd college grounds, one of the show places of Philadelphia. The giant petals are douo In three varieties of alternunthera, the brll- THE SUGGESTION OF A DAHLIA BED. llantlssima (red), the Aurca nana (green) and the Prospect park (black) that Is, horticulturists call it black. To many It Is the darkest shade of wine almost black. These stunning petals rest on a carpet of echeverla, whose soft, glaucus green shows their brilliant beauty to fine advantage and fills out the bed to a perfect circle. Separating the petals from the stamens and pistils Is a ribbon of variegated abutllon and crassula. As for the stamens and pistils, Black Beauty can nas, variegated Arundo donax and Penutsetum longlstilum oerve to ad vantage. Japanese Rock Gardens. There are many advantages in fol lowing the Japanese idea in rock dec orated gardens. Inexpensive, quick re sults, durability and the overcoming of grading difficulties are tbe principal features. HORTICULTURAL BREVITIES When the polnsettias are out of bloom lay the plants on their sides In a moderately cool 'house, where they can remain till the middle of April. Among the showiest of fruiting shrubs and small trees are the native hawthorns. Ventilate the cold frames well on the warmer sunny days, leaving off the sashes as long as possible without in Jury to plants. The best temperature for rooting rose cuttings is 63 to 70 degrees bottom heat, with 50 to 55 above. They take about three weeks to form roots (more or less, according to the temperature), says a florist. The old favorite, the Chinese prim rose, is certainly a most satisfactory plant In planning for the garden of next season a bed of fuchsias can be made a beautiful and unique feature. The sago palm needs a rest every winter. After the fronds have turned yellow cut them down close and set away tbe palm In the cellar until spring. tome Important Points In Crowing It Successfully. There are a great many people in the lower south who do not think that cabbage will bead for tbem. That it does not head as readily as it does far mer north is true, for the collard is the result of growing cabbage in an ad verse climate. In fact, if cabbage is allowed to seed in south Georgia or Florida for some years the disposition to head will become less and less until eventually you will have a collard. If only northern grown cabbage seed be used, planted early on deep, rich, moist land, the influence of an uncongenial climate will be overcome. And now a word about seed. Don't try to save by buying cheap seed. With a crop worth anywhere from $200 to $000 per acre It is foolishness to try to save at the outside from $2 to $3 In buying cheap seed, which might mean the price of success or failure. Seeding- and Transplanting, In middle Georgia, for tbe spring crop, seed Is started In open ground by the first to the middle of October. For all medium early varieties, for tbe ex tra early varieties, such as Early Ex press, etc., this is too early, as quite a large per cent will go to seed in the spring. For these seed is started under glass in mild hotbed or green house during December. We have found that it pays to trans plant all our cabbage plants to cold frames, both those started in the open In October as well as those started in the greenhouse in December. The transplanting costs something, but this is more than gained in stocky, fully developed, healthy plants as well as some days In earliness. As to varieties, a selected strain of the Old Flat Dutch makes heads of just about tbe right size, with few outside leaves. Planting In the Field. For extra early plant Jersey Wake field and Extra Early Express in the field from the 1st of February to the last of March for middle Georgia. The land should be manured, plowed and harrowed down ready for planting, in early winter preferably. That cabbage requires deep rich soil is hardly neces sary to say. From twenty to thirty-two horse loads of stable manure and 2,400 to 4,000 pounds of commercial fertilizer per acre are frequently used with prof it, the stable manure plowed under with turn plow)- the fertilizer broadcasted and worked iu the surface soil with cul tivator or similar tool. If cabbage can follow a cowpea crop so much the bet ter. Southern Cultivator. , Corn In North Carolina. The Importance of the corn crop in the state of North Carolina cau best be Indicated by the fact that 47 per cent of all the laud iu cultivation in the state Is devoted to this crop, and yet the average yield per acre is only 12.8 bushels, nearly the lowest average of any of the states of the Union. Now, why should this be so? The soil is not at fault, for there is as good soil iu tbe state as the sun shines on. Tbe climate Is not nt fault, because the state is real ly more in the corn belt as far as lati tude Is concerned than any of the 6tates north of Masou and Dixou's Hue. Tbe corn plant originated In a warmer climate than this and Is quite at home In the state ns far ns that point is con cerned. Now, therefore, the methods of growing the crop must be where the blame ies for the failure to make a lar ger yield per acre. C. K. McQuarrle. A Turkey Coop. A turkey coop which has been used with perfect satisfaction lu Arapahoe county, Colo., is described in American Agriculturist as having several dis tinct advantages over ordinary coops. It Is built out of a large packing case. At the top is a ventilator. Suspended by a cord is a drop door of close boards, and beneath this is an ordinary door HANDY TUBKXT COOP. partly of wire netting. Each Is hinged and can be opened independently. On cold nights ventilator and drop dxr may be closed, on ordinary nights the ventilator opened, on hot ones both. In warm weather the drop door suspended, as ehown In the cut, forms a good shade for the birds. HERE AND THERE Broken crackers, the refuse from the cracker factories, are fed by several successful pouitrymcu, and the con sumption is increasing annually. It must be remembered, however, that the main nutriment In this instance Is starch. As among a thousand human faces no two arc alike, so among on equal number of horses none have hoofs ex actly alike, a fact which has an im portant bearing in correct horseshoe ing. Much care should be taken in obtain ing the various kinds of grass end clover seeds, as these often contain In jurious seeds of weeds that thus be come Nvidely scattered over the coun try.
