At the late meeting Of the Farmers
Institute at Accomac 9. II. one Of
the speakers tried to impress oul
farmers with the fact, that one OF the
greatest obstacles in the way of their
success was their lack of attention to
the little things, and the bad judg-
ment of the average farmer in feed
ing his stock and in allowing much
to go to waste, which might be utih
zed as source of revenue to them,
was especially commented upon by
him. Among those little things
he did not mention corn
stalks, but as our farmers have 30
regarded them in the past we pub
lish below in part an article showing
their value, for the benefit of those
who are open to instruction and are
willing to profit by it. In addition to
the purposes for which they are used
by factories the writer says:
1.-The great agricultural discovery
of the closing years of the century is
the fact that all this material can be
utilized, every ounce of it. The
shredding machines slit it into fine
fodder, which the farmers report is
not only we'll relished by cattle, but
is as good as clover hay for horses
and costly mixed feeds for cattle. 1t
is not only fed from the fields, but is
preserved in silos. and fed the whole
year around 1t is as good food for
sheep as for cattle and lowers the
cost of fattening these animals near
ly one half. Shredded corn costs not
above 1915 per ton when stored. So
the farmer has a new feed at half the
cost of hay, and almost unlimited in
its supply 1t is made of one of the
wastes of the farm, at the same time
converting a nuisance into blessing
American agriculture has a grand
opening before it as the old century
passes into the new"

tells of his gratitude and his plans:
The courts have dismissed the

my friends and the public for their
confidence in me and the suspension

said by few private individuals for
publication were unfair and did me
great injustice. 1t is needless now

untold injury, but God has overruled
all for good.
He has delivered me, aud l have
nothing but praise for Him and

The report of the Board of Fish,
eIies at its meeting last week was q
very gratifying one and satisfactory,
we presume, even to those remote
from Tidewater, who have always
insisted there was millions" in the
oyster beds of the State. 1t is some
thing at least to be grateful for, that
a deficit OF $4,000 year has been
changed into revenue to the State
of a greater amount, and that bet
ter showing may be expected an
nually, even though the revenues
from the oyster industry may never
reach the rosy figures which some
claim for it. But whether everyone
is satisfied or not with the present
showing, it is safe to predict, that
there is enough wisdom in the State
to hold in check the dreamers from
the remote portions of the Common
wealth, and to continue the oyster
and fishing industries under the
present management. The present
revenue derived from them will justi-
fly certainly that conclusion on the
part of our legislators, if past legisla-
ton in the matter and the results
obtained therefrom is taken into
consideration, and the prospect of an
increase in the revenues to the State,
from larger area of oyster planting
grounds and from cutting down the
expenses, should leave no doubt in
the minds of anyone that the oyster
question is no longer "vexed one"
but has been solved at last in way
for the best interests of all the peo-
pie of the State.
OF course our present oyster law is
not perfect, and improvements in the
same are desirable and to be expect
ed but that radical changes may be
made, which might impair its eff
cheney and destroy the good results
already attained, are not to be
thought of and certainly not to be
seriously entertained by any body of
sensible men.

MONEY FROM OYSTERS.
The States Income this Year Will
Amount to 100000.

The fine showing made by the
State Board OF Fisheries this year Is
q subject of the deepest qualification
to Governor Tyler. The report,
which is now in the hands OF the
printer, shows net income to the
State from her oyster-beds Of about
$4,000 for the fiscal year ending
September 30th.
The law putting the oyster and
fishery industries under the control
of board of five men was passed at
the legislative session of 1897-98.
Previous to that time the oyster beds
owned by the State had cost much
more than they yielded in the way
of revenue. The deficit had amount
ed to as much as $4,000 a year. In
other words, the board has saved
$3.50, 900 to the State during the thirty
months OF its existence.
The splendid showing of $4,000 is
spoken of somewhat alphabetically
by the members of the board. They
had hoped the amount would be
larger, and it would have been but
for extraordinary expense incurred.
This was chiefly due to the beginning
of the survey of planting grounds,
which work will be completed as
rapidly as possible. The planting
grounds of two counties have been
surveyed. 1t is estimated that the
resurvey will immensely increase the
extent of the States beds, and, con-
seouently, very much increase the
revenue.
The exhaustive report of the board,
besides containing so many statistics,
deals infinitely with the work OF the
oyster inspectors of the State; shows
that as rule the planters along the
coast have respected the recent oys-
ter laws and states the condition OF
the oyster navy to be good. The re-
port also calls attention to the diff
Guilty of collecting taxes from tongers
taking oysters from natural beds, on
account of the provisions of the pres
ent Constitution on the subject;
points out the wisdom of the consti-
tutional amendments suggested to
the last Legislature, and recommends
their incorporation in the proposed
new Constitution.
Senator George w. LeCato, OF Ac-
comac, the author of the bill Greats
ing the Board of Fisheries, was at
the Capitol yesterday, and, as may
be imagined, was in high good humor
over the superb showing made by his
board. When advocating the passage
Of the bill creating the board, Sena-
tor LeCato told the Virginia Senate
the people of Tidewater would never
ask the passage of more oyster legis>
lation if the law did not do that
which he claimed. 1t has already
done much more, and the members
of the board think it will be the
means of bringing in twice as great
revenue. Richmond Dispatch, oath.
