wALDENSIANS AT WORK.

forefathers. The result was, their
methods of farming were rather rude
and primitive.
When the Waldensians came to this
country they brought with them their
old-fashioned ideas and methods. Many
Of the colonists had never seen pillow
or mower and reaper until they ar
rived in North Carolina. OF course,
our modern methods OF intensive farm
ing and rotation of crops were beyond
their knowledge. The colony is located
in Burke county, N. c., about eight
miles from Morgantown, the county
seat The village is called Valdese,
and is laid out into streets and building
lots. The first thing the colonists did
was to build a church and schoolhouse.
Recently they have showed consider
able enterprise in starting a hosiery
mill, in which most of the young people
are employed. The property of the col
onists consists of several thousand
acres. This has been divided into small
farms, each family receiving from SO to
60 acres. At the same time each house
holder is obliged to assume his share
of the debt which the colony still owes.
Thus far, the colonists have been too
busy at clearing the lands and building
houses to make much of showing. II
will be several years before the results
of their work and industry are fully
seen. Already they have set out quite
a number of fruit trees and vines.
Many of them are familiar with grape
growing in Italy, and they will soon
learn the methods of successful viticul-
ture in this country.
They are giving up using their old
and clumsy implements, and to-day
they handle the pillow as sk:llfully as the
native farmers. AS our illustration
shows, the women and children lend
hand and work in the fields. The ma
jority of the people are young and in
the prime of life; that is, they are under
the age of 40. The women are strong,
thrifty and make good wives. The
men are active, vigorous, industrious
and used to hard work. They should
make good citizens.-American Agri-
culturist.

Quite Colony of Them Is Located In
Burke County, n. C..
In the summer of 1893 some 20 fam
tiles came over from sunny Italy and
settled in the western part of North
Carolina. They were the advance guard
of the colony which to-day numbers
about 200 persons.
There would be little to attract at
tention to this settlement if it were
not the only one of the kind in America.
The colonists are Waldenses; that is to
say, they are descendants of re-
ligious sect that was driven by perse-
cution into the Piedmont mountains of
northern Italy. Here they were safe
and secluded, and here they were free
to follow their peculiar forms of wor-
ship. In their mountain retreat at home
the Waldensians have followed the or
binary pursuits of agriculture. Living
by themselves and shut off from the
outside world, these people were con
tent to farm after the fashion of their

GOOD BUTTER COW.

What She Should Look Like and How She
Should Act.
The good mich COW should have a
large muzzle, slim neck and yellow skin.
She should have d long face, wide be-
tween the eyes, alert and expressive,
and placed a long way between the
horns. Her breathing should be regu-
lar and strong, indicative of strong lung
power. The back and abdomen should
be strong, the udded wide where it
joins the body, and the tea!s be squarely
placed; the tail slim. She should be
wedge-shaped, slim in front and wide
behind, with large body, which is nee
essary TO the consumption, assimila-
ton and manufacturing into milk of a
large quantity of food.
The perfect udder, in size and form
with the teats to match, and large alb
dominal proportions, are almost GER
tain indications of good dairy qualities
A slim neck is also supposed to be al
most an infallible sign of good dairy
COW.
A beefy-looking COW rarely proves
good dairy animal. There is too strong
g tendency to convert the food into
meat rather than into milk:
OF course it will occasionally happen
that looks are deceptive, SO that the
best test is the milk pail and the churn.

FACTS FOR. FARMERS.

A man need not work himself to
death because he is farmer. Mind
may do share as well as muscle.
Do not use too much water. Your
thirst may be satisfied without drown
ing you. It is the same with plant.
Nothing pays better on the farm than
to keep accurate accounts-to know
what is raised at loss and what yields
profit.
Be sure to get the bulletins from the
agricultural experiment stations.
They are doing important work. Keep
in touch with it.
Don't waste the straw. It may not
be as nutritious as good hay, but it con-
tains enough food and fertilizing prop
critics to be well worth husbanding.-

SOCIETY IN GUATEMALA.

Unspeakably Dull for the Average Youth
Brought Up in America.
Life in Guatemala City to foreigner,
and especially a young man, says the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, possesses
about as much attractiveness from q
standpoint of amusement as would a
residence in graveyard. There is abb
solutely nothing to do except work,
sleep and eat. The only place man
has to go when he has finished work is
to saloon. and there he has nothing to
do for recreation but drink. The door
to the best society is shut in the face of
Observation-Disclosures, as they are
called by the naughty dons-no matter
what their standing. Of .course, when
one has official dignity he is invited to
the presidents ball and other official
functions. and has entree into society,
but there is no such thing as social in
tercourse in its American sense. No
body is allowed to see young lady I'M
less it is in the presence of her entire
family under the watchful eye of her
duenna, and there isn't much pleasure
in this kind of a visit to most young
men of America. Guatemala City has
population of $4,000. but has no
theaters. There was an opera company
of fair character there two years ago,
but there have been no attractions at
all of this kind during the past season.
Living is very high in Guatemala City,
and salaries are by no means cor
respondingly high. would not advise

An old Irishwoman, who has received

his wife, and for some time Bridget
received no calls from either of them.
One afternoon, however, the minister
relented and stopped at Bridget's door
on his way to see sick woman.
"shure, and it's mesilf that dreamed

PASTURE FOR PIGS.

Results of Careful Experiments Extend.
ing Over Four Years. Z:
Exercise, good air and sunshine play
a much greater part in pig raising than
most people commonly suppose. It is
for this reason that the western prac-
tice of relying quite largely on grazing
for the nourishment Of swine is so sue
cessful.
This has never been SO clearly demon
strated as by series of pig feeding
tests extending over four years, made
by Mr.. a. A. Mills, Of Utah. We give
the results below:
/. Pigs allowed to run at large over
10 acres of good pasture and fed full
ration of grain made the most rapid
growth and required the least grain for
one pound of gain.
2. Pigs confined in movable pens in
the pasture grew more slowly than
those running loose, and required an
increase of 20 per cent. of grain to make
one pound of growth.
3. Pigs at pasture, fed under three
different conditions, gained 925 cent.
more and ate but two per cent more
than the pigs getting grass and other
wise similarly fed, but confined in pens.
The grain required to produce one
pound of gain was increased 40 per cent.
with those in pens over those in pas
ture.
4. Pigs fed but part rations of grain
at pasture made satisfactory gains.
Those at pasture getting the three
fourths grain ration gained more than
those fed full grain ration and grass,
either in the yard or in the pens.
5. Pigs pastured without grain made
about the same growth for three sea-
sons in succession, this averaging SO
of a pound a day.
6. AS nearly as can be judged, exer-
else alone increased the gain % per
cent, and the amount eaten but LIS per
cent, but decreased the amount re-
quired for one pound gain % per cent.
z. Grass when cut and fed green to
pigs, whether fed in pens or yards, or
with full or part grain rations, or with
out grain, proved to be of very little
value.
8. Pigs confined in pens and fed on
grass alone, mostly lucerne, for 81 days,
lost over quarter of pound per day.
9. The average of the pigs fed on
grass gained little more than those
without the grass, but nat enough to
pay for the extra feed in the grass.
10. With the pigs confined in the hog
house pens, the grass proved beneficial,
while with those in the yard it proved
detrimental, the latter requiring more
grain to make a pound of pork with
the grass than without it.
II. Pasturing either with full or
with part grain rations appeared to be
by far the cheapest and best way of
making pork.

PaderevvsI1i's CoIInpse.

The news that Paderewski has been
compelled to cancel all his English en-
gagemenLs owing to nervous prQstra-
ton, says the New York Sun, brought on
by insomnia, will not be a surprise to
those of his friends in this country who
are aware Of the effort that it cost the
great pianist to sleep. While at his hotel
in New y ork he never retired until morn
ing, and one OF the duties of his secre-
tary was to play either whist or billiards
with him until the pianist felt that he
could finally get to bed with some chance
of sleeping. On that famous trip through
the country which nctted over 100000 Tor
him, Paderewski Travelled in a private
car. and he was in the habit of waitins
until after his performance before he
ate. On the days on which ne gave con-
certs-and few night were missed-he
took nothing during the day but a cup OF
tea, waiting until II o'clock or later for
his dinner. Then he ate an elaborate
dinner, with as many courses and as much
variety as the well-equipped kitchen of
his car offered. 1t was after dinner til A.
he really seemed TO wake up and usually
at midnight he commenced to play whist
with MS companions on the car The.
whist playing lasted usually until 3
o'clock or later, and, as PadereWszi is a
strict and scientific player this fea hlrt
of the trip began TO become a little ex-
haustng to the party. 1t was in the hone
of becoming really tired and sleepy rbgf
the pianist prolonged the game, but his
friends knew that he rarely succeeded in
gaining even few hours sleep during
the night.
