THE FARMERS WINTER.

Nearly All the Flowing Done Over In
LOudOun and Shenandoah Valleys.
There has not been such a winter for
farmers in Virginia in ten years." said a
Loudoun county man yesterday. With
the exception of a little squirt of cold In
November, there has not been frost enough
to kill grass. The ground has not frozen
and we have been blowing whenever We
pleased. OF course, the snap last week
checked things all at once. but We are 60
ing again now. I have just returned from
a journey Of sixty miles, horseback, west
ward from the Potomac to the Blue Ridge.
A finer sight In midwinter you never saw.
All along the route farmers were blowing
their fields and hundreds Of acres were
ready for planting. A majority of the
farmers in the Loudoun and Shenandoah
valleys have finished their seasons plow-
ing and have their hands and teams free
for other kinds OF work till spring opens.
Such an opportunity does not often come.
The times may be pretty hard, but Provi-
dence has helped US out with almost mir
aculous weather. If we could work every
winter as We have this, We could pay our
debts in the course of time, even If we
could not get rich. In some places the fruit
trees have been swelling. Everywhere the
birds are singing as in springtime. Water
Is low In springs and streams because we
have had neither rain nor snow. Steam
sawmils are everywhere running in full
blast and the grist mills are also busy. with
wheat coming In at sixty cents a bIshel
faster than II can be ground. The Touring
business, by the way, Is changing base
somewhat. The old-fashioned grist mills
long ago ceased to grind wheat for flour,
as they could not compete against the new
process mills. But now roller mills dot
northern Virginia pretty thickly and COM
petition among them has resulted in great
advantage to the farmer. He can take six
and a half bushels Of wheat to mill nova
days and get a barrel of -four for it. These
mills have brought the price of flour down
small roller mills look like toys compared
with the huge ones at Minneapolis. Yet
they contain just as good machinery and
their capacity runs usually from 50 to -
barrels a day, which is all that the yield
Of wheat In their vicinity requires. Vir-
ginia farmers will gradually return to
wheat raising and put in as large an acre
age as ever. This year there was a good
deal or land left for spring blowing, which
will be used for corn, that crop having been
very small the past two years. There
seems also to be an increase of attention
TO trucking and small fruit raising Cor the
Washington market. Our people are learn
Ing that the later market is apt to AFFORD
good prices and that the truck country
around Norfolk cannot produce a supply
all the season through for this city, Balti-
more and the north. We have the finest
kind OF land up our way for small farming
and 1t only needs brains and capital to de-
velop this very important industry there"

Toward the middle of the fifteenth cen
fury poor Arab was travelling in Abys-
sinia. Finding himself weak and weary he
stopped near a grove. Being in want of
fuel to cook his rice he cut down tree,
which happened to be covered with dried
berries, His meal being cooked and eaten,
the traveller discovered that these half
burned berries were fragrant He collected
a number, and on crushing them with a
stone he found the aroma increased to a
great extent.
While wondering at this, he accidentally
let the substance fall into Il can which con
tanned his scanty supply of water, Lo
what miracle The almost putrid liquid
was partially purified. He raised it to his
lips. 1t was fresh and agreeable, and after a
short rest the traveller so far recovered his
strength and energy as to be able toresume
his journey.
The lucky Arab gathered as many berries
as he could, and having arrived at Alden in
Arabia he informed the multi of his discov.
cry. That worthy was an inveterate opium
smoker, who had been suffering for years
from the influence of the poisonous drug.
He tried an infusion of the roasted berries
and was so delighted at the recovery of his
former vigor that in gratitude to the tree
he called it camuha, which in Arabic signi-
fies force.-Brooklyn Eagle.

most amusing incongruity. A little girl
