The sweet-potato crop of Accomac
county, Eastern Shore of Virginia,
is valued this year at 81 100000. In
Virginia's two peninsular counties
peach trees planted in 1916 bore
good crops this year. The Eastern
Vwginjan says the two counties can
show more living persons from sew
enty to one hundred years old than
any other county Of the same popu-
lation on the continent.

Fattening an old Cow in Milk.

In reply to an inquirer who
wished to know how to fatten an
old COW that was hard to dry up,
the National LiUe-Stock Journal makes
the following SUGGESTIONS The
only profitable way to fatten such
a COW is to feed her as if you were
in earnest in fattening her, and at
the same time take all the milk
she is willing to give. An old COW
dried off before fattening, will eat,
before she fattens, more than she is
worth but if a good mixer, she
will give milk enough during the
process to pay the whole cost of her
food. 1t takes time to feed up an
old animal, and the time will be
somewhat heightened if she is Civ
ing milk; but in the latter case
time is Of no consequence, since she
pays for al she eats
With regard to the kind Of feed
to fatten such an animal on, the
Journal says:
If the old COW is quite thin and
skinny, as she is very likely to be,
she should not be piled strongly
with cornmeal in the start This
is apt to make her feverish, and to
induce a state opposed to thrifty
fattening, and besides this feverish
state will render her milk gargity.
Give her slightly loosening and
cooling food at first, such as pump
kins, potatoes, sweet apples, succu-
lent rowen grass, one or two pounds
of oilmeal, cheap molasses and clio
yer hay, or better, green clover;
and with any Of these may be Civ
en-, on the start, one or two quarts
Of cornmeal per day. The food
must be gradually increased. A
pint to three pints of cheap molas-
ses, diluted with three parts water,
and mixed with one-half bushel Of
cut clover hay will keep the stom-
ach and bowels in excellent condi
ton when beginning the cornmeal.
And all these foods will make prime
milk.
Another food that will be found
successful, and in many places
cheap, is one bushel of faxseed
ground with fifteen bushels of corn.
This aaxseed will render the corn
meal Just laxative enough, for
health, and the f1axseed is worth,
as a food, all it usually costs. Cotton
seed meal may also be fed to advan-
tage up to three pounds per day.
Linseed meal, made by the new
process, is excellent to feed with
cornmeal, as it has a large proper
ton of nitrogen, and thus balances
the cornmeal; but two pounds per
day is sufficient Of this.
The principal grain food may
properly be cornmeal, which is usu-
ally cheaper for fattening than any
other grain Bran and cornmeal go
well together for feeding an old
COW, and after the COW gets accus-
toned to the use Of the grain, you
may feed her six quarts Of bran and
six quarts of cornmeal in three
feeds, per day. 1t is always better
to begin feeding her on pasture,
beginning the use Of grain lightly,
as mentioned, and increasing, little
by little, up to her capacity.

Rev. DR.. Talmage is usually ex-
treme in his opinions ON all subjects.
he glories in extravaganza and is
never so happy as when making a
sensation. His recent remarks ON the
subject OF the newspaper SAVIOR much
OF thls extravaganza, and yet he saws
some good things. There are strange
errors with regard to the establish
ment and conduct of newspapers.
Ihe general public is scarcely aware
OF the extent to which these exacting
p~oilcations use up money. brains,
hFartstrings, and produce an endless
crop OF losses, anxieties and exasper-
atlons. Vast sums are sunk in them
the mortality among newspapers
exceeds that of infants of tender wears

III estaDishInga newspaper; and then
the big newspapers gobble up the
little ones, like whale gulping down
minnows. There is CLEAN of truth
in the the extravaganza and exagera-
tion of DIR. Talmage's remarks. The
impression still exists, in many quar-
ters, that newspapers are born
not made-that Bennett and Gree
ly and Child, Dana, Halstead,
Weed, Medill. McMichael, Hast
ihgs, drew prizes in lottery
where, with many blanks. there
are. still prizes left for lucky ones
to capture. This is great mis-
take. There is no place where
the law of growth is more inexorably
observed than in journalism. Genius,
tact, industry and patience alone
have enabled these shining lights of
the press to capture public opinion
by slow and tedious approaches and
then with superb generalship direct
it to great ends.

A person who has to suffer with a
bone felon has to endure excruciating
pain. Upon the high authority of
the London Lancet the following
(said to be) certain cure is given:
LAS soon rs the disease is felt, put
directly over the spot fly blister
about the size of your thumb nail,
and let it remain for six hours, at the
expiration of which time, directly
under the surface of the blister may
be seen the felon, which can he in

WASHING BABIEs.-M Mothers and
nurses cannot be too careful about the
soap they use on the little one. Few
but physicians know now many of
the so-called skin diseases among
children are caused by the use of
adulterated, poisonous soap. An
analysis of several cakes of the pret-
ty and perfumed toilet soaps that are
scld on the streets showed the pres
ence of ground glass, soluble glass.
silex, pipeclay, rotten stone, borax,
plaster of Paris. tin crystal, magne-
sia, pumice stone, oatmeal and other
substances, which are added to give
the soap weight, hardness, toughness
or clearness. The common colorings
are vermillion, Venitian red and car
mine, ultraInine green, pot pigment
green, copperas, Spanish brown, ul-
tramine blues, yellow and scarlet
anallnes and burnt umber. Many
of the perfuming ingredients, though
harmless in themselves, become
chemically poisonous oy admixture.
Adding the dangers from all these TO
the rancid, diseased, putrid qualities
of grease used. and mothers may
well be appalled, at the permanent
evils these neat looking, delicately-
scented blocks Of toilet soap contain,
ready to be released whenever moist
ened and applied to the baby's body.

The Minnesota Legislature has de-
vised plan for the payment of the
repudiated debt of that State. which
will be submitted to the voters for
ratification or rejection in few days.
Instead of borrowing money to meet
this obligation. public lar dis are to be
set aside and the proceeds of the sale
of these lands employed in the ex-
tinctioh of this debt. The prevail
ing opinion is that the voters will
approve this scheme, as the exper-
ience of the State has convinced her
people that reputation does not pay.
The question of the payment of Mis-
sisippi's reputation debt has been
raised in that State. and there is hope
in some quarters that agitation may
eventually bring about compromise
that will relieve the State of the odi-
um she has so long borne. The
example of Minnesota is setting
about the payment of her suspended
debt started the agitation in Missis.

One of the most difficult things
pastor has to d. is to educate his peo-
pie to a proper standard of systematic
and practical liberaity. The Rev.
DR. Goodall, of st. Louis, gives some
valuable hints in regard to it. These
are all the more worthy of sonsider-
alton coming, as they do, from his
experience as pastor of the Pilgrim
Congregational church. where last
years contributions were more than
four times greater than in any pre-
vious year. He says: "In pastorate
of twenty years I have found the
most successful way of raising money
to be this: Pick out five or six earn
est influential Christian ladies in the
church, divide the parish into dis
tricts, put one lady in a district and
let her go, subscription paper in hand,
to every man, woman and child in
the parish, worldly men as we'll as
Christian and the stranger in the gate
and get from each something, head
ing each paper with a good man and
a round sum. In New Britain, Con.
necticut. by this plan, the sum for
Home missions went up in fourteen
years from $3.50 to 81, $40 "a year, and
each year but one was an increase
over the last. This is one kind of
woman's work that tells. By the
same method our Foreign mission
offering arose from '45O to $2, ,2O0."
