ID WARDS.. .Borroa StaarM at tea Postomcs aa ascend daw matter THE RU88IAN OUTBREAK. Count Cassini, the Russian ambas udor Id Washington has been called out to aay something about the Easter massacres in the czar's empire. In stead of denouncing the outbreaks, he seems to aooept the situation, and offers an apology therefor. The ambassador merely says that the outbreaks came in consequence of extortion practiced upon the Russian peasantry by Jewish money lenders, and not because of religious prejudice against the Jews of the empire. In taking this course the count does not help out the case of his irovern jnent In the least. It matters not whether the atrocities were occasioned j by religious prejudice or alleged ex tort ion, their occurrence in indispu table, showing a weakness in the Kns ian empire that explanations and apologies will not cure. It is a fact that Kussian laws pro Libit Jews from engaging in the pro fessions, agriculture, schools Scc, ex -eept under very stringent regulations The world knows, also, that there deep-seated religious prejudice in ftu sia, and the Jew is the universal ob ject of persecution in one form or another, The masses of the peasantry are ignorant, and ignorant minds are al ways the easy prey to prejudice. Igno rance and prejudice always go hand in hand. The more enlightened people become, the more freedom and self de pendenoe they exercise in thinking about the situations of life that con front them, the freer will they be from the blinding influence of prejudice, whether it be religious, political or social. THE NEW POTATO. North Carolina is making an admir - able record with her trucking interests Heavy rains in the early part of the growing season, and the lack of mois ture "until the last few days, have proved detrimental to crops to a cer . tain extent . The Norfolk Virginian Pilot has the following to say of ' an enterprising North Corolinlan's success In improv- " log his potato crop: . It seems that down in North Caro there ia a very enterprising truck grower, who paid a visit last year to tna uanama islands, wmie tnere tie took a great fancy to the sweet potato grown In that country, and he deter mined to make an experiment with the same vegetable on his North Carolina .farm, The Bahama product brings exceptionally nigh prices on northern ' markets, the vegetable being consld- , ered. quite a luxury among the well-to On the return of the North Carol in ian to his plantation he made the ex tyerJments above referred to. He sue seeded quite beyond his most sanguine .hopes. The vegetables ciw and flour jshed, really exceeding in flavor and quality : the f West v Indian goods. 4 Ibis gentleman is sending large quan 'titles how all over the country, and awhile he is practicing h6 deception at all, it is said that he does not go out of the way to tell buyers that the po tatoes were grown in North Carolina instead of the Bahamas. The potatoes liave appeared on the local market and were pronounced equal, if not superior, to the far-southern product. ' . The article in question goes on to say the department of agriculture is making experiments . with many new vegetables that might, If introduced, prove Valuable, especially to our ' s southern fellies. yTV A great many parts of the world are being drawn upon for species of food planta that may be experimented with .here. ' Mexico is especially productive in this respect, and Europe is being .levied upon for plants that may be do mesticated here and help to swell the trucker's profits from ,his industry. .. Hon. W. W. Kltchin, congressman from the fifth district, sees in Judge "Parker the suitable man for the next ' presidential nomination at the hands of the Democratic party. Judge Parker is not running a boom, but ' prominent' men are constantly 'joining his ranks. The chief justice does not owe his present exalted po-' . sition to a skilful manipulation of politics: he 1 no peanut ; politician. His ability alone has .raised him to bis position, and his ability would produce in him the president that is needed to make , the principles"; of democracy effective in national life. It is to be hoped that there is no de mand from any quarter for the exhibi tion of the negro murder, Broadnax, at the curnirt i.t , Keidsville. The mere suggestion of such morbidness is loathsome; and ; indicates a disease ihatwe hope North Carolinians are Jree from. Paint Your Buarar For 75c to 100 with Devoe's Gloss Carriage 1 V.r.t.

Lime is seldom , abused by t overuse, but In most cases too much Is expected 6Mt.v It is' not plant food 1 the Irue sense, but It acts powerfully In con verting unavailable plant food . Into such forms that plants can assimilate It Its principal use Is to correct the physical condition of soils, loosening clayey soils and compacting light, sandy soils. If a soil Is acid through the decay of excessive organic matter time will sweeten It and also destroy the green mass so common in old pas ture fields or in neglected lawns. Lime is generally used freely at first, as it has all the effect of abundant manur lne or fertilizing. Organic matter Is quickly broken up and nitrogen as well as potash and phosphate liberated in soluble form. Even the insoluble soil silicates are more or less broken up, yielding plant food in small amounts. The result on its face is that lime ap pears to be In truth a fertilizer, but sooner or later these stores of plant food are exhausted, and lime no longer gives results. This Is , properly the abuse of Huie. Lime also acts to prevent the forma tion of surface crusts, so common where Intensive fertilization is neces sary In order to procure heavy crops of early vegetables or where large crops of any kind are grown. It should be used nt the rate of forty bushels of slacked lime per acre every fourth year. On very heavy, clayey soils use lluie whenever the soil shows a tendency to form surface clods. On no account neg lect using fertilizer because lime is used. Fruit Grower's Journal. Useless Tricks For Farmers. To try to farm without a Judicious application of manure to your lands. To buy what you do not need be cause it is cheap or nice. To plant more acres than you can properly take care of In the way of cultivation because you wish to have a "big" crop. To expect to grow crop without due attention being given to their cultiva tion. To expect to grow crops from poor seed. To expect to have good farm stock without feeding and giving attention. To leave your farm tools exposed to the weather. To lounge about the village store or post office when the weeds are growing In your crop. To talk of what your farming opera tions will be next year while yon are doing nothing this year. To plant fruit trees and then allow the cattle to destroy them. To leave your neighbors' gates open and then expect yours to be shut al ways. You thus teach a bad lesson by your own example. To be surrounded by mud when you can easily have good paths about your premises. Southern Planter. Flshtlaa Peala. It is reported that the striped cucum ber beetle was one of the causes of damage to the Oklahoma melon crop last summer. In localities where such was the case early preparations should be made for disposing of this insect during this season, r In addition to the preventive meas ures of cleaning up rubbish and a thor ough cultivation of the melon ground, be use of bordeaux mixture as a repel lent and squash as a trap corn are among the most proruislnc of the reme dies recommended by those who LavT ueeessfully dealt with this Insect Squashes' are planted about four days before the melons. One or more rows, of squashes should be planted, accord ing fo the siae of the field. Some of the trap plants may be dusted with parls green when the beetles gather on them. Others should be left to attract the beetles through the summer. Xi seems that "spraying the young melon vines with bordeaux mixture not only repels the cucumber beetle, hut also poisons some of the Insects which feed on the sprayed leavea. Al.tAl.... r . r..ii,,in , Maaorlal Valaa of Cora Stover. According to : the best analysis at band, a ton of com stover without any ears will be worth for the plant food contains at the market ; price : for these things per ton. Of , course this is estimating fit the value of the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash it contains, but it does not properly show its agricultural value since the organ ic matter must go through the process of decay to render what plant food It has available , to plantsi t hence It Is hardly fair to give the full value of the Ingredients that is, we would not put corn stover at $4.00 per ton merely for Its manurial value. If In good feeding condition one might afford to pay more, knowing that he can recover a large part of the manurial value In the drop pings of the animals fed upon the Sto ver. Practical Farmer. . , Ta Sharpea a Hae. :- In sharpening a boe the Bllng should all be done on the Inside of the blade, thus leaving it perfectly flat on the lower side where It first strikes. If filed on the outside of the blade or filed on both sides and made wedge shaped the hoe will hove a tendency to bounce or push out of the ground at each stroke. This will be particularly no ticeable in hard ground or on striking a clod. Don't spoil a good hoe by filing on the other edge because It Is handier. By the way. a good, sharp hoe will save a good deal of muscle In the course of a day. particularly if it Is kept bright so It will "scour." The same principle of sharpening applies to spndes or shovels. File them on the in El le so as to leave a' Cat cutUus eilge cu t'..e back. Iht SPORTING WORLD Shamrock III.
