Horse Meat as Hen Food.

Hundreds of barrels of cooked horse
meat are sold every winter to poultry
raisers. The horse flesh is cooked in
tight tanks under a steam pressure Of
45 pounds. This penetrates every par
ticle of the meat, purifying and cook
ing it thoroughly In this form the
meat will keep from one to four weeks,
accordingto the weather There is no
practical way of preserving horse
meat for any length of time, Where il
cannot be cooked by steam it should
be boiled. The meat might be sailed
the same as beef, but it would have to
be freshened before Being used. and 1t
is a question whether ii would then
be safe feed for hens. It is a good
food for egg production. One of the
most popular brands Of poultry meat
on the market is made from carefully
prepared and well cooked horsefesh

RISE IN FERTILIZERS
A General Advance of From
So to $3.50 Per Ton.
The Components now Cost More. Freight
Rates on Potash Have Gore Up and
Beefbood is Higher.

The long suffering farmer is called
last straw He must pay % per cent.
more for fertilizer, $3.50 per ton instead
of $500. This is big increase. and
means a lot to the farmers. and therefore
to almost all branches of trade and in
dustry: for upon the farmer do we nearly
all depend AS is we'll known, much and
always more and more recourse is had
to productive S,imulants by the tillers of
the long cultivated lands of our section
of the country This is why the raise
in price Of fertilizer will be such a
severe tax.
The fertilizer manufactures of the
South. in accordance with the general
movement toward combination of so
many industries passed very largely a
few years ago into the hands of the Vir-
ginia-C Carolina Chemical Company. of
Richmond. Va, This fact very naturally
led some to predict raise in fertilizer
prices; for more combination means less
competition. The prediction has come
true, but the reasons given for the in
crease are purely economic
Potash. one OF the chief comqonents of
fertilizer is imported from Hamburg,
and freight rates have advanced owing
to the scarcity of freight ships. For this
we have to blame the Spanish American
war and the present conflict in South
Africa The United States Government
bought or chartered about two hundred
freight ships for use as transports dur
ing the war. And now England has Sc
cured something like six hundred vessels
to carry her men and food to South
Africa.
The price of beef-blood, an important
fertilizer material. has also gone up on
account Of the wars and rumors of
wars
All this is eminently reasonable, but
there is still query that may puzzle
the mind of many a r0ughand -ready
economist: why have not the independ-
ent manufacturers advanced pricesy'

THE QUESTIONS INVOLVED.
Under the Decision of the Supreme
Court as to School Boards.

Under the decision of the Supreme
court that the old county school boards
are entitled to control school affairs Il
number Of questions of importance to the
schools will arise. For one thing there
will be the question as to whether con-
tracts made by the new boards or their
subordinate appointees with teachers and
others are valid and binding or whether
they are void. There is also raised for
the superintendent consideration the
alternative of recognizing the new or the
old board in any county where the old
board is not actively contesting. In
all cases where the old board is disposed
to contest the matter the State Super
intendent will apparently be compelled
under the decision to recognize the old
board.
1t is probable that by the first of next
week Superintendent Mebane will an
nounce his course in all these matters
that the winter schools which are just
now beginning in various parts of the
State may be as little injured by the
decision as possible.

But little viands in his cot
And | would furnish one mouth more!
And fain he was to learn my hist'ry,
