APPLES FOR ANIMALS.

In a recent number of the American
Agriculturist appears an article by
the late Col. F. d. Curtis on the sub
ject of feeding apples to animals. At
this season of the year the subject
may be worthy the attention of all
who have refuse apples to dispose of.
He says IAN orchard planted thirty
five feet apart will contain thirty
seven apple trees per acre. These
trees, we'll grown, will produce FIVE
hundred bushels of apples. Apples
have a food value, according to
chemistry, says Prof. Sanborn, as
follows:
Protein. Fats. hg Sfaeas Fibre Total
Apples PTR s 90 81 1875 1873 i, s4 1911 1911
Compared with corn at a cent
pound and apples at ten cents
bushel, one dollar would buy 1888
pounds of digestible matter in corn
and S0.55 pounds in apples. The
corn has more fat, but it is not SO
well balanced food as the apples
Experience teaches me that apples
are complete food; for, when a boy
it was my chore to feed the hogs.
and my father used to winter a
large number of swine on nothing
but apples. These apples were of the
common sorts, and there were two
large bins, one of the softer kinds
and one OF the harder. Of course the
softer sorts were fed out first These
apples were shaken off from the trees,
the ground underneath first having
been cleared of all stones so they
would not bruise more than neces-
sarv, were handled carefully, and
then put into the bins when perfect
ly dry The badly bruised ones
were left on the ground, to be eaten

PLANS FOR GOOD ROADS.

For the past two months the VINDICA-
TOR ha; published each week on the first
page OF the paper an article on county roads
a I'd how 10 better them. Each article was
from The Lest authority on the matter. and
each was one OF a ser .es nearly all differing
from each other i'll suggestions. We pub
llsh this morning two articles from resi-
dents of the county, the writer of one.
signing himself 'B. d. M being prom
1nent citizen who has had Us much expert
ence in the matter of lettering county roads
and providing the means for paying for it.,
as any citizen of the county. We are in
clined to take his plan for giving the coun-
ty land Staunton as well, for Stanton s
interest in good roads in Augusta is about
as great as that Of the farmer) good roads.
We prefer that plan, not because many of
the others are not good, but because outside
Of the monarchies Of Europe no pan OF
law has yet been invented by which the
people persOnally-however much they may
need them and feel the need of them-wil
build good roads. If the people of Augusta
ever have good roads it will only be when
the plan of ''B. D. NJ or something SINH
something involving the expenditure
Of so much money for so much labor-is
adopted. We hope to hear from him again
On the subject, and from as many others as
desire to put their views in space brief
enough for Us to make room for them.

Can't We Have Better Roads in Augusta?

Editor Vand5c0t0r:
l noticed in your paper several weeks ago a
communication Oh roads, and | am truly glad
to see the subject brought before the people
again, as that is the only prospect we have of
ever having good roads. Keep the subject
right before the people and show them in dol
lars and cents the benefit of good roads and
then they may be interested. | am not OPP
posed to the present law we have, but if we
can make some improvements on it let us have
them. Therefore l would like to hear the
views OF practical men in the county express
ed through. the columns of your paper. You
know there is wisdom in multitude of coun-
sci. L, for one, am utterly opposed to paying
road tax and putting it into dirt every year.
There is no business or practical sense in it,
We do The same thing over every year and
have same impossible roads every Winter and
Spring.
l suggest as an Improvement on our present
system, that we have only one Road Commits
sioner to each district in place of the three we
have now, and have the law so no man can be
elected that seeks the office. He must be a
man that the people want and not one that
wants the Office. Then we Will get one that
about being elected again and trying to please
every person so they will vote for him again.
| think another improvement would be not
to collect any more road tax than would be
necessary to pay the Commissioner and fur
nish tools to work, and make the tax PAYERS
work their tax out on the road and put it all
in rock and let the two days that we have to
work now be all that is thrown away in dirt
Further, let the taxpayers of every neighbor-
hood meet and say what piece of road shall
receive the benefit of their combined tax, and
further, if any man wants to pay his tax in
money let him pay it to the overseer and then
he can hire some one to work it out
Now Mr.. Editor as our grand old county is
having boom in towns and cities and as this
is a progressive age, let us for the benefit OF
ourselves and for the sake of those that are to
follow after us, have boom in the way of
improving our roads. We have as fine lands
as L have ever seen any where, but if men
were to come to Staunton for the purpose of
looking at our lands with view of settling
and you were to start from Staunton with
them for the purpose of showing these lands
you would not get three miles from Staunton
till they would tell you they had seen all
they wanted of lands and roads too Is not
this deplorable state to he in, in county as
wealthy as this =? Now Mr.. Editor, | think
you and the rest of the city people ought to
be as much interested in the roads as the coun-
try people, and think if we all counsel to-
gether we may be able to adopt some system
that Will improve them and without increas-
ing taxes MIR. Editor l would like to hear
from you on the subject, and all others that
feel interested. Y,

Mr.. ingalls, is worth so much to this section
How about Gordonsville? asked STATE re-
porter, while he sat talking with Mr. Ingalls,
Yesterday afternoon.
Why, Gordonsville is all right. That town
is waking up, tell you.
Many of our Richmond people are interes-
ted in Gordonsville, the scribe remarked
"Well, they ought to be. Gordonsville is
making rapid progress and is going to be one
of the best points on our line. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio will do its part in looking out
for the interests Of Gordonsville. You know
Chesapeake and Ohio already. I learn that a
great many new industries are being secured
for Gordonsville
MI ingalls, then went on to tell of the ex-
cellent facilities for industrial enterprises at
Gordonsville; of the splendid railroad facili-
ties; trains radiating from there to all points
-eas1, west and north.
Gordonsville is only two OF three hours
from Richmond, and only few hours from
Washington and Baltimore.
No town in Virginia has ever attracted
more attention than GordonsYille is now at
tracing,

A Plan to get Good Roads.

,. ~, -
hdst0r Vs1adsc0t0r
On the first page of your last weeks paper
you have an article which begins by inform
ing your readers that ssGood Roads are Com
ing This is indeed good news.
In my opinion all the politics on both sides
the questions in CONTROVERSY. all the railroads
in tile county are not of so much Importance
to the best interests of the citizens of this
county, as would the improvement in a sub
stantial manner of the main arteries of trade
within the limits of the county of Augusta.
further believe that if the question was
thoroughly understood and the small annual
cost necessary to accomplish this was gener-
ally known, the people would demand if.
Tie taxable values of the county are in
round numbers $4,000, 900, of the city of
Staunton IS, 900 900 (the interests of COUNTY
and City are so interlocked that they should
not be separately, total $4,000, 900. The
county and city can borrow $3.50. O0o-at per
cent. which would give 81 900 per mile Cone
track to 80 miles of county roads. There
are about 100 miles of main through roads
therefore we would have funds enough to
McAdam $50 miles of the more important
cross roads, roads leading to depots. Sc. and
i'll that manner carry the good work of road

as the newspaper mans friend, And this
