II. Barnes. alias John II. Nelson, the
Kentucky train robber who escaped
from ten detectives in the West End,
is reported through police channels to
have ben located at Deer Trail British
Columbia. The clue as to the fugi-
tive's place of refuge is said to have
heen furnished to Chief Desmond by
Mrs. Charles II. Barnes. the wife of
the bandit. who has been constant
visitor at police headquarters ever
since the capture of Charming B.
Barnes and the escape of his brother.
Within the past "a hours Mrs, Barnes
is said to have received letter from
Barnes through a mutual friend at
some point in the West. Barnes evi-
IDENTIFY mailed his letter to this con-
fidante, who, in turn, sounded Mrs,
Barnes. Her answer, according to the
detective methods, would have been
framed by the operatives, who werO
on the track of the robber. Several
letters passed between the fugitive
and his wife until finally, caution he

Barberton, Aug. 29.--City Solicitor

The Council claims that the casting is

GRATIFYING

G anGing over our S ate N3ws de-
paTCmens this week n is struck by
the number Of items showing increas-
log INTEREST in EDUCATION. Randleman,
High Point and r Jcky Mount want to
vote on SPECIAL tax for schools. The
University Summer School term is TO
b lengGheue1 so that the University
will be open all the year. The Presby-
Eerlsns have raised the fund Of $50 600
which they set ouE TO secure for their
college for women in Charlotte. Rocky
Mount wanUs a graded school,
Furthermore it appears that the
sentiment in favor Of taking our public
schools out OF politics is to assume
tangible shape in the denomination of
superintendent of Public instruction
Me0ane by all three parties The B4p
Cists are making good progress in their
: IF Jrt to free their Baptist University
from debt.
And the North Carolina Journal Of
Education, a worthy advocate # the
great aus IL represents, in it's F5bru
airy issue gives this encouraging biz of
news:
"Oata VIDA College, Newton, N. O.,
will erect a $40 OOO building next sum
mer, the money for which has been
fully subscribed. OF this sum the
Synod of O1io. of the R 9form Church
of the United States, RIvss 81, $50, the
Synod of PiE5sburg $500, the Eastern
Synod So, o II N. A. A S1utord, of
Hickory, 81 600, a friend $1,000. The
balance Is made up by a number of
smaller subscriptions"
A splendid sho wing this. Lat the
sentiment continue { grow as it is
now growing snd the next Legislature
may find it unpopular to adjourn with
out doing its whole duty by our public
schools.

SKIMM ING STATIONS.

Many readers of Toe Progressive
Farmer, perhaps, do not know what a
examining station is. We will try to
define aud describe one. A skimming
station is a place where milk is brought
from several farms in a neighborhood
to have the cream separated. The
SKINNED milk can then be taken back
to each farm to be fed to young stock
and the cream shipped away for sale
OF made In butter at a creamery.
This creamery may be centrally 10
Gated and too far from many farms 70
receive milk from them. Tnis fact is
the reason for the evolution Of the
skimming station. It enables many
more people to share in the benefits Of
the creamery than could other wise
avail themselve Of it's help to secure
a steady income throughout the year.
BIZ careful attention to stock, feeding
we'll, and housing in stormy and cold
weather, a few COWS can be made to
bring in cash every month if the
creamery Or skimming station is pa
tronized. Wherever in a number of
neighOorhoods as many as itsy or
one hundred COWS can be kept within
a radius Of one or two miles from a
skimming station it will pay well, a
creamery being within Shipping dis
lance for its product of cream to be
sent out daily.
Recently some figures have been
made to show how much can be netted

Would bronze grass, meadow oat grass

this MIXTURE suit this kind Of land, or

Would you advise spring sowing OF

Is it building lime, or is there an agri

Respectfully,
Orange o., N. O. r 0. CATE.
Tall meadow oat grass, bronze or
Hungarian, and red clover make a fair
combination; out toe bronze grass is
usually planted in dry, and rather
barren, OF light sandy lads. This
land, however, may be dry enough for
it. Herde grass would make a very
good addition to your mixture, and
this combination might be arranged as
follows on one acre:
1 Bushel Bronze Grass,
1 Orchard Grass,
1 H9rds Grass,
81 Pounds Of r ID Glover.
Fall sowing is preferable. If in
spring let it be when hard freezes are
over.
1t would be much better to put on
this land a liberal supply of barn yard
msnure. Manure is much better for
grass than chemical fertilizers. Il
would be advisable to apply this ma
nure broadcast and then pillow under.
Harrow the land thoroughly, ana get
1t perfectly smooth and fine before
sowing. Then apply a fertilizer rich
in nitrogen to give the grass a start
until it can take hold of the barnyard
manure. Apply about 200 pounds per
acre of the commercial fertilizer.
The lime generally used for fertilizer
is a very cheap grace. Sometimes
from mari beds, sometimes o~ystershells
burned, and sometimes Stacked lime
not good for building purposes. The
cheapest form usually is sulpnate Of
lime or gympsum. The lime will cost
at the kiln aOout 81 per ton f. O. b.
cars The freight, OF course, will be
quite expensive in proportion to coet
OF lime at the kiln. There ls one kiln
in this State that will sell at the above
prices.
This, Of course, is not the building
lime but is thai which has become
Stacked. Where it can be bought mixed
with the ashes, if wood is used, it sells
for less and is still quite valuable.
But, fortunately, few of our lands need
lining. B. /.
