CONCERNING THE RAILROAD.

THE TINES publishes this morning
two articles on the railroad question
which deserve the most careful consid.
GRAFTON at the hands OF the citizens of
Roanoke. One is an interview with J.
Allen Watts, Esq, the other q commu-
nication from prominent citizen,
thoroughly familiar with the finances
of the city.
The publication of such articles as
these and the recent interview with
President Kimball, of the Norfolk and
Western, will compel the production Of
arguments in favor of the new railroad
There can be no doubt in the minds of
careful readers of THE TINES as to the
attitude of this paper. Let us state
our position again, and so clearly that
there need be no misunderstood ing now
Or in the future:
THE TINES Is FOR ROANOKE.
That is platform big enough and
broad enough for US and the other "a
500 citizens of this wonderful city. If
the interests of this city demand an
other railroad we are for that railroad.
But because we are for that railroad it
does not follow that we are ready to see
Roanoke shutits eyes and swallow the
first bolus thrown at it, without know.
ing what is in the bolus. and the exact
cost of the fee to be paid
Give US the facts. Can no better
terms be secured than are now offered?
] these are the best tnatcan be secured,
can Roanoke afford TO pay tho price? If
it is merely a matter of new territory
there may be another way OF getting
into it. If it is, as is generally under
stood, matter OF lower freight rates
what guarantees have been given Roa-
noke that the new line will furnish and
maintain them? How much lower are
freight rates to be over the new linen
1t is stated, to get down to the meat
OF the matter, that Lynchburg gets bet
ter rates over the Norfolk and Western
on certain articles than Roanoke docs,
End that certain other competing points
are sin ilarly favored. ThE TIMES will
gladly publish all the statements avail
able on these matters, and it would like
to ask If all means have been exhausted
to have any existing determinations
against Roanoke removed?
One thing is certain, we all would
like to have another railroad in Roam.

FRANK MAYO IN "DAVY CROCK EFT :,
Roanoke will be given theatrical

Forty-ive Deering Irvine binders,
forming a procession half a mile in
length and steadily moving through a
waving sea of wheat-such was the
sight that greeted the foreign commits

great Elk alley farm at Larimore, n.

owned cider mill was very short OF
hay few winters ago. In rear of
the mill was large heap of pomace.
He gave his cattle access to it early
mornings and they had no other feed
till put up at night, when feeding
OF hay was given. Cows gave an un-
usual flow of milk. and steers gained
in flesh. Pomace is too valuable TO
be wasted.
Third. Farmers waste an immense
amount of hay feeding it to horses in
winter when they have little to do.
Two quarts of oats night and morn
ing, with what straw they want will
winter them better than all the hey
they could eat, and their coats will
be sleeker. Let any one figure the
comparative expenses of the two sys-
TENS of feeding, and he will ascer-
tain that straw and oats feeding 10
the cheaper by as much as half. Bar
ley straw and half pint of barley or
corn day will winter sheep better
than timothy hay.
Fourth. Doubtless the greatest
waste OF forage occurs with corn fod-
der. Cornstalks are allowed to stand
in the field until the weather beats
half the life out of them, and then
they are usually fed out in a very
wasteful manner. 1t has been shown
in the columns of this paper that
corn can be husled, shelled and the
stalks shredded by running the crop
through threshing machine, and at
less than half the expense of the
usual way Of securing corn and
stalks. By shredding the stalks cat
tie and horses eat every particle. and
there is literally no waste of any
kind. Ten men, two teams to draw
the shocks of corn, and a steam
thresher will thresh ten acres of corn
a day from land that yields as much
as any ever did. knew of such a
"crew" threshing seven acres of good
corn in four hours, but part of the
shocks had been drawn to tho place

Destruction OF Poison Vines.


One of the greatest pests to the
owner Of country place, is the poison
vine, and one of the greatest prob
lens is how to get rid OF it. The
choppipg down OF the vine accom-
plishes nothing as q rule, the only
difference it makes, being the appear
ance of half dozen smaller ones to
every one cut down. Yet it is a safe
method where intelligently per-
formed. Concerning this pest a
writer in Practical Farmer says:
Juno is the proper time to chop down
the vines, and for the following rea-
sons: All plants make their first
leaves of the season by the aid of the
sap which has been in store for the
previous season. Through the en-
tire summer the foliage of all plants
Is busy perfecting sap for their fur
Their use. The crude sap is carried
to the leaves. where, under the in
fluence of sunlight it undergoes the
proper change. It's this perfected sap
which is used by the foliage in the
spring, pushing it to it's full expan-
sion When the leaves are fully ex-
banded the old supply of sap is ex-
hausted, and then ii is that their
work commences in the perfecting of
more, for future use. This is the
time to chop it down. It's supply of
sap is gone and there are no means
of it's getting more. There will be
perhaps, enough left to cause a few
young shoots to push out from the
base, but be sure that these are not
allowed TO grow unchecked and ma
ture leaves. Keep up this vigilance
all the season through. for unless
you do, the few leaves will mature
enough food for future use, to give a
good deal of trouble. There must
be no foliage allowed to stand from
first TO last of season, then the roots
must die Those engaged in the
propagation of plants understand
very well that the repeated cutting
away of foliage Injuries them. Yet
even they do not think to apply their
knowledge to the destruction OF USE
less vines and trees When a new
fuchsia or geranium. for instance,
Just comes to hand. there is great
desire to propagate it. The cuttings
which are taken from it rob the
plant of so much of its foliage that
vely often it dies. We have only tc
recollect this, and the destruction oil
any plant becomes easy. In the case
of the poison vine, keep up the war
fare the whole season. Chop il
down just as the foliage is fairly eX'
banded in spring. Then watch for
any signs of fresh foliage, and choI
