MALLISON, Washington, C. BEAUFQR dim mil 11 iini rn I Latest U. S. Gov't Report. e Queations and Replies. Address all questions to the " N. C. Agricultu ral Experiment Station, Kaleigh, N. C." Ques tions may bejentjn by any one and the sub jects may embrsfce any agricultural topic. Re plies vrlll be written as early as possible by the member of the Station staff most competent to do so, and, when of general interest, they -will also appear in these columns. The Station ex pects, in this way, to enlarge its sphere of use fulness and render great assistance to practical farmers. . Wicky Laurel, or Lambkill. I send a box of leaves to learn if they contain any poison. I have lost two tine horses, sup posed to have been poisoned. K. F. A.. Laurel; Answered by Gerald McCarthy, Botanist Ex periment Station.) The leaves sent are those of -Kalmla angustl folia, popularly called Wick j 'Laurel and Lamb kill. This plant is -considered poisonous to sheep, but has never been known to kill horses or other animals. Yet it might do so when the animals gorge themselves upon the leaves, as they are liable to do when turned out too early. bjefore the grass starts in the spring, and when there is nothing else for them to eat. This shrub should be carefully eradicated from pas ture lots. VinefaT1 Eels. . I send you a small bottle of vinegar which has worms in it. Please let me know if these are always present in vinegar, or if they are un wholesome. J. S. D., Creek, N. C. (Answered by Gerald McCarthy, Botanist Ex periment Station.) The sample of vinegar contains "vinegar eels'' (Vibrones aceti.) Their presence is caused by too much exposure of vinegar to the air, and probably by bad or unskillful handling of the fruit from which the vinegar was made. Heat the vinegar until it is scalding hot about 160 degrees, F. at which temperature keep It for half an hour, then strain through cotton sheet ing, barrel and bung it tightly. Do not boil the vinegar, as that will Injure the quality. After being treated as indicated the vinegar will be , perfectly wholesome, though not quite so strong as might be. Mixing of Watermelons and Cantaloupes. Is it good practice to have watermelon and cantaloupe patches along side of each other? "Will either corrupt the other? R. B. C, Char lotte, N. C. (Answered by W: F. Massey, Horticulturist of itxpenment station.) It was formerly supposed that all cucusbita ceous plants would mix if planted close to each other, but investigations of late years show that there is really very little crossing, even of those near akin. The muskmelon and the water melon will not cross at all, and you may plant them together freely. - When to Plant Black-eye Peas. Cultiva tion of Sage. I have just picked from a five acre field' truck peas, and am desirous to know when,, or how soon I may plant black-eye peas. The farmers here say wait until the dark nights in June. What has the moon to do with it? I am think ing about planting an acre or so in Sage, that is. if there is any market for it. What is the best variety to plant, and when is the best time, etc.? What does it usually sell for? E. E. E., Coleraine, N. C. ' (Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist Experiment Station.) Plant the peas at once, now that the ground Is warm. There are still a great many people who study the moon more than the condition of their soil If the land and season Is all right 'and the proper cultivation given the crop.it will be good. Sun and rain have far more to do with it than the moon. Broad leaf -sage is the kind to grow. It js now rather late to begin. Sage seed should be sown early In April in a rich bed, and the plants transplanted to a piece of land from which an early truck crop has been cut. The plants set in rows 2V feet apart and IS Inches in the row, will, if land is good, nearly cover the ground by September, and as all the growth is young and tender it can be out off at the ground and cured in the shade, if properly cured it will sell better in any of. the northern cities, Baltimore especially. Best Varieties of Early Corn and Turnips I want to plant for market, North, corn for early roast-ears, and also a crop of early tur nips. Will you not please write me as soon as you can what variety of corn will pay best to plant for early market. and what varietv of tur nips planted this season of the year will , do Dest? j. Li. xarDoro, jn. u. (Answered by W. F. Massey, Horticulturist Experiment Station.! The best corn you can plant for early shipping Is Adams Extra Early. There is a variety of this grown. by the market gardeners in Patap sco Neck, near Baltimore, Md. "known there as the Neck corn, which is larger, earlier and bet ter suited to our climate than the northern Ad ams. You can get it, I think, from J. G. Bol giara &, Son, Baltimore. For a crop of early turnips use the Kxtra Jtany Milan. It grows almbst as quickly as a radish and is much ear lier than the ordinary flat Dutch turnip. P. P. P.

There seems to be' a general misunderstanding about the office of United States minister to Hawaii, The public have, apparently accepted as true the recent report from Honolulu that Mr. Blount has forwarded his resignation to Washington, and many newspapers have discussed the selection of his succes sor. No'ojne at the state department will admit, however, that Mr. Blount has re signed, so it is impossible at this end of the line to verify the report of his resigna tion. , ''.--:" Cleveland Taking His Time.

Election Day In Germany Very Much Like That In a Republic Biff Gains For the Social Democrats and Great Losses For Rlchterists The Government Is Ahead. Berlin, June 16. Election day has brought tropical heat to all parts of the empire. In Berlin the pavements have been scorching. Apparently the election has been a notably quiet one, ' In Berlin there has been complete absence of all excite ment. The wealthier classes- seemed "to be apathetic as to the outcome of the elections. The authorities, fearing disorders among the voters of the lower classes, had the troops and the reserve police kept in their barracks so as to be ready to repress any outbreak. Very few voters went to the polls before noon. A t that hour the workmen left the factories. They walked In groups to the voting stations and deposited their ballots. Groups of men surrounded the election posters searching fer information as to the locations of the stations at" which they Were to vote. There are 628 stations in the ity, 300 of them being in the taverns and Restaurants, while 128 are in school build ings and vestry halls. Womtn at the Polls. All the officials attached to the postof- fice received five hours leave of absence In order that they might vote. Arrange ments were made by which the firemen also and the men employed on the tramway and omnibus lines might go to the polls in relays. 1 A number of men and women gathered at the Bock brewery, the headquarters of the Socialist second district where Fisher ran. They devoted themselves to receiving orders for electoral tickets while others scattered leaflets in behalf of the party broadcast. The Socialists displayed more activity than any other of the political groups. Women seemed to be deeply in terested in the success of the Social Demo cratic candidates, as were the men of the party, as they labored in every way to aid the cause. The agrarians were highly elated when they learned that Count Herbert Bismarck had run so unexpectedly well in the Jericho district that a reballot probably would be necessary. - The general expectation was that Count Herbert would be beaten by his freetrader antagonist. - "I Some Conspicuous Features. Berlin, June 17. The most conspicuous two features of the electoral returns have been the continued reports of Social Dem ocratic gains and Richterist losses. Later dispatches from the agricultural districts revealed the other side of the page. From all that can now be ascertained it is reason ably safe to conclude that the government has lost nothing by the dissolution, and probably has won a little. ' Several small election riots are reported from the provinces In Strasburg shortly after the poll was announced about 2,000 Socialists began parading the streets and shouting for their candidate, August Bebel. They refused to disperse when the police attacked them and many cheered for France. The military eventually broke up the procession and arrested eight men. Nobody was injured. Returns have been received from 220 out of 397 electoral districts. In 98 candidates have been elected; in 122 second ballots will be necessary. The National Liberals, Conservatives and Clericals are holding their own. The Richter Radicals remain very far behind. Of the 98 deputies al ready elected 42 are counted for the bill and 56 against it BIRTHDAY OF OLD GLORY. Publip Celebration In Philadelphia of the Adoption of the Stars and Stripes.

Every foreign element should be organized ' into German clubs, Trench clubs, Swedish clubs, English clubs,, ad libitum. Aggres sive Republican newspapers should be strengthened and extensively circulated. The report concluded by saying that it depended upon the young Republicans of the- country whether or not the party should win in 1896. The report was adopted. A resolution to establish a subheadquar ters at Providence, R. I., for the New Eng land states, to be in charge of an assistant secretary working under the direction of the secretary, and a resolution to establish a southern headquarters at Chattanooga, were referred to the subexecutive commit tee.

Judson, Hart ford, Connecticut. id Twenty-four Deaths. Much Additional Evidence; That Criminal Carelessness or Inexcusable Ignorance Brought About the Ftrd's Theater Trag edy The Jury's Thorough Investigation. Washington, June 17. In the inquest over the victims of the Ford's theater col lapse the new line of examining was con tinued and further information brought out in regard to the work which would seem to be at the foundation of the terrible disaster. The most important testimony was given by one of the clerks, who testi fied totthe apprehension he had felt that there was great danger in making the underpinning aud that he had iuformed his superiors and had moved his desk from over the dangerous space. The testimony also probed further into the manner in which the work nf excava tion and underpinning was being cl-me, and whether proper precautious were taken to avoid a general crash. The technical knowledge of Mr. Frank Hanvey, one of the jurors and himself a contractor, has been of great value. in bringing out facts in the case. ' Testimony by a Clerk. Joseph Fought testified that he was a clerk Ju the wrecked building. He had looked at the excavation almost every day. Had taken an interest in the utatter as a. man vho considered his life in danger. Had talked to the contractor several times in regard to undermining the piers with out any supports, and the contractor had said he thought everything was safe. Wit ness had felt differently, however, and had" considered the building so dangerous that he had applied to his chief, Mr. Webb, to be allowed to move his desk close to the wall, which he had done. Had spoken to a number of his fellow clerks as to his Idea of the dangerous condition of the building. Had been warned by clerks that he had better not speak openly in the matter, as elerks were in it supposed to speak freely on such questions. Witness testified that Colonel Ainsworth aud. Superintendent Covert had overseen the roping oil of space on the first floor. , In answer to Mr. Warner the witness said that he should say the workmen on the excavation were uf a rather inferior quality, .Conversation W it tl Masse. Augustus Davis, a builder from Falls Church, said he was a bidder for the con tract for repairing Ford's theater and made an examination of the building at that time. " He saw Mr. Sasse, who showed him a drawing and the specifications. He bad quite a cdnversation with the engineer and was told that drawings were prepared in the building. ,It was evident they were not the work of an expert and they needed con siderable explanation in order to be under stood. Witness spofe at time of the "tick lish" character of the work that was to be done and called Mr. Sasse's attention to the incompleteness of the specifications. He saw Captain Thorpe', name at the bot tom of the specifications and spoke to him about the matter. He noticed a defect in the specifications in. their silence as to the removal of a por tion of the flooring necessary to prosecute the work. There was no provision in the specifica tions for shoring up the other floors while the repairs were being made. Witness told of a conversation he had with Builder Siaims about the character and danger of the work on the day the bids were opened. Witness said at the time if some d n fool was to get the contract he might throw the Whole building down. Witness said, in answer to a question, that, in his opinion, no sane man would have attempted to make the repair in an occupied building without first shoring up the floors. Had they been properly shored there would have been no danger at all. Petitions Were of No Avail. H. P. Wiiley said that he was a clerk in the wrecked building. le wasjon the first floor.. His desk was alwut 2 feet from the pillar. which gave way. Knew of the ropes being put up about two weeks before the accident. Witness had been warned about cross ing this area, and about 15 minutes before the accident the roped -off area had leen extended. Mr. Webb had done this. Wit ness had seen the pillar fall. It went down perpendicularly. Then there was a cloud of dust and he was thrown to the floor. Wit ness had considered the building danger ous, but had never made any complaint. Considered that it would have been of no avail. It was very disagreeable working while the excavations were being made, and witness had spoken to Mr. Webb, and he had said that he had done all he could. Witness knew of three petitions made by the clerks which had been of no avail. In answer to Mr. Warner Mr. Riley said he knew of soaie improvements which had been made in the building in .the line of the sanitary condition. The taking of testimony is about com pleted and soon the verdict of the coroner's jury as to the responsibility for the disas ter by which 24 lives were lost will be given to the public. ' '.
