Shenandoah Valley Farming.
[From the Page Co. Virginia Courier.

From the Page Go. Virginia Courier.]
A practical and successful farmer Of Page,
who was recently in the Shenandoah Valley,
says that he saw and learned much about the
changed methods in the operation of many of
the largest farms in that great and fertile re-
gion. He says that many of them had practi
eally quit raising wheat, and had their farms
set in grass and were devoting their efforts to
raising cattle, in which they found, even at
the very low prices they have been bringing,
much better and surer profit than they have
been getting on wheat and corn. They buy
cattle in West Virginia about three years old,
feed them about four months, and then sell.
By this method they are able to sell two lots
each year and have no stock on their farms
during the hot summer months when cattle
are so destructive of grass. They buy corn in
the western markets, finding it cheaper than
to raise it. So we'll satisfied with the plan is
the gentleman who gives the Courier this in
formation, that he intends adopting it on a
limited scale himself, and he advises his
brother farmers to consider the matter for
themselves

Wheat Fed Pork.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The receipt of hogs from the wheat belt
this season is from three to four times what
it ever was before. Another interesting fact
is that the hogs from tina t section are of con
siderably higher grade than those from the
corn regions. There is decidedly larger
percentage of pork to the pound of live hog
in the receipts from the northern belt than
from any 9th II, because they are fed chiefly
on barley, wheat screenings, and other nu-
trtious cereal foods. Every days experience
at the South st. Paul stockyards confirms the
now we'll established truth that the hogs fed
on the smaller grains are much more valua-
BILE to the packer than the corn fed animals.
and that eysn wheat converted into pork will
Yield the farmer much higher price than he
gets for it when sold by the bushel. At pres
ent prices wheat in this form is worth at least
a dollar bushel.

Women Physicians for insane
Women.

TFrom the Norfolk Landmark, Jan. 26l
The bill introduced by Mr.. Koiner provid-
ing for female physician to attend the Wo-
men patients in the State hospitals OF asy-
lums, should pass. This measure was de-
feated in the last General Assembly, being
vigorously opposed by the physician members
of that body. There was a strong popular
sentiment then in favor of it. and that senti-
ment has enhanced rather than diminished.
There is hardly sound reason to be found
against this measure, and those who oppose it
do so chiefly upon the old notion that women
should not be engaged i'll occupations which
have heretofore been monopolized practically
by men, and which are thought to be untitled
to the more delicate and refined mental and
physical constitution of woman. The memb
ers of the legislature who have declined to
support this proposition in Virginia do not
appear to have kept fully abreast of the
times, or they would recognize that in the
practice Of medicine in modern days women
have come to fill a most important part, and
are now practically indispensable.
When we come to consider this subject of
treating insane women, and think below the
surface of things a little, it is hard to reach
any other conclusion than that the eternal
fitness of things demands that the medical at
tendant of the unfortunate women in our
asylums should be one of their own sex. We
believe that Mr.. Koiner will find q much
more cordial support of his measure now than
he did before, because there is progression of
public sentiment and opinion among the peo-
pie, just as there is progress and development
ipc o;a Va md
minded as we study great questions and look
more closely into the relation and propriety
of things. We somehow believe that this
eminently humane and timely measure will
meet in the legislature with support this
year, where it met with opposition when it
was first proposed.

Last Mon3sf night, between u and /
O'Clock, a ie"..ille accident occurred at Kilby

bound freight was being switched at that
point, and Capt j. +. Anderson, while in the
discharge of duty, fell between the cars, two

and chin were completely torn off, his right
foot and left hand were mashed one of the
bones in his right wrist was broken, and his
whole body was bruised.
Notwithstanding his desperate condition
Captain Anderson, being unable to speak,
managed to write an account OF how the ac-
cident happened, the following being a copy
thereof:
II was backing into Kilby's with cars; was
standing on the end of the rear car looking
out for the switches. In getting Off the top to
the breakstep and crossbeam, fell and one
or two cars raE over me-"
The engine was detached from the train and
sent to Suffolk for DR. W. w. Murray. and
while waiting for the physician the suffering,
unseifsh hero wrote as follows, his life blood
saturating the paper as he indited the noble
sentences: "Don't let my wife see me-"
God bless my wife and our babies He also
wrote number of messages to his mother
and Others
When Dr.. Murray arrived at Kilby he made
Captain Anderson as comfortable as possible
nnder the circumstances and then had him
brought to Suffolk and carried to the Com
mercial Hotel, where everything that surgi
cal skill could suggest was done for the
wounded man, but all to no avail, as he was
beyond humanai With nerve unparalleled
