The stores are flowing over with valentines
of every color shape and sentiment. The

pencils of some well known artists. For ex-
ample Church's Greek youths and maidens ;
what can be more lovely and refined than a
maiden in flowing white robes. seated in a
garden and leaning pensively on marble
pedestal listening to the little Love playing
on golden Tyre at her feet ? Or the Greek
youth and maiden under the trellised vine
near the sculptured basin of a fountain, the
youth about to offer Venus tribute. white

McMfIian's Bill to Help the Far

1t is a step in the right direction and
if it accomplishes nothing OF immediate
and practical benefit It's moral effect will
be a material adyaDtage.-lt will
show the farmers Of North Carolina that
the Legislature recognizes their lmpor-
lance in the State and their occupation
as Of prime consideration in It's progress
and prosperity. 1t will show them that
the General Assembly clings to them as
the pillars that support the whole poll
teal fabric. This will be a great gain.
1t will tend to educate the farmers up
to the importance of their calling, to
make them prouder Of it, to make them
fonder Of it and to make them cling to it.
/ Generally now, their heart is not 10 their
work. They are discouraged and dis
pirited and they look with longing eyes
to the towns where everything looks so
longing and so lovely. Something must
be done to arrest this destructive ten
dency or the State will become a rufuge
for wild beasts where Nimrods follow
uncertain trade and little shopkeepers
supply them with cheese and crackers,
powder and whisky.
We have not seen Mr.. McMillan's bill,
we do not know him personally we do
not know his business, but we honor him
none the less, and we believe that be de
serves the gratitude of every good citizen
Of North Carolina for ~bestowing some
thought upon the amelioration of the
condition of the largest, most manly and
best class of population Of the State and
for an honest effort to bring happiness
and prosperity to every farmer In the
land, both large and small.
As a general rule slowness and deliber-
alton are safe adjuncts In accomplishing
any good work, but malignant and grow
ing sores require active cautery. There
is great danger in this part of North
Carolina that farming will become one
Of the lost arts. The best farmers are
leaving it in disgust. There is some
radical defect about the system that must
be corrected at once. Our legislators
must address themselves to the subject
with coats off, so to speak. 1t requires
earnest, thoughtful, active, practical
work. Our legislators have often taken
hold of the matter, but without much
practical effect. We doubt ifevery thing
done by our Legislature for agriculture

! lished has caused two ears of corn to grow

....Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet?
About one third OF the weight of an egg
is solid nutriment. There are no bones
and tough places that have to be laid
aside. A good egg is made up of ten
parts she'll, sixty parts white, and thirty
parts yelk. The white OF an egg contains
sc per cent, water, and yelk 50 per cent.
The average weight Of an egg is about
two ounces. Practically an egg Is animal
food, and yet there is nonc OF the dlsa.
sreeabIe work of the butcher necessary to
obtain it.. Eggs are best when cooked
four minutes. This takes away the
animal taste that is so offensive to some,
but does not so harden the white or yelk
as to make them hard to digest. An egg
if cooked very hard is difficult to digest,
except by those with stout stomachs;
such eggs should be eaten with bread
and masticated very finely. An excellent
sandwich can be made with eggs and
