isfactory system of courts than the COM
mittee had been able to do in five months
after the most careful deliberation ana
consultation with members of the conven-
ton and others from all parts of the
State.
The motion to pass by was defeated.
SINGLE CIRCUIT.
Judge Portlock moved to amend Ut.
Dunaway's arrangement of the first cir
cult so that Norfolk county would COLI
stitute a single circuit
He made another earnest speech IN sup
port of his amendment to the amend
ment It was along the same lines as the
speech fully reported in last Fridays pro-
ceedings, except that Judge Portlock mace
a deep impression on the convention by
his manly and sincere disclaimer OF nav
ing any object in view except to properly
and conscientously represent the wishes
and needs of his constituents.
Chairman Hunton readily accorded this
TO the sneaker and regretted that the
committee did not coincide with his as to
the lack of court facilities sufficiently to
make a separate circuit out Of Norfolk
county.
Judge Portock spoke for over an hour
and a half.
Chairman Hunton briefly stated the
reasons that had controlled the commit
tees apportionment Of the counties into
circuits and opposed the amendment.
The amendment was rejected
Judge Ouarles moved to amend the
Dunawav substitute so that the eigh-
teenth circuit could be changed as report
ed by the committee. Judge Quarles
presented Briefly the views elaborated
last Saturday.
NEEDS IGNORED.
Mr.. KeezelI opposed this amendment
He said he hated to make the same
speech twice. but he could not refrain
from repea ting that the judiciary report
mad entirely ignored the needs of the
counties and had taken particular care
of the cities. He then branched out into
an. earnest sneech against the report of
the committee.
Mir. Braxton again spoke in support of
the report made by the committee and
in opposition to all amendments and sub
StituteS. ),
He fully gave the reasons for not
changing the circuits in his part OF the
State @
Mr. W. A. anderson advocated the
adoption of the report of the committee.
He said that tie provision which per-
mitted the Judge of the Hastings Court
of Starnton to hold circuit courts, and
that the Legislature should provide adj
ditional court facilities when necessary,
would prevent a congestion of business
in the court. He said no complaint what
ever had been made of the arrangement
of this circuit except from Rockingham
county. and that complaint was not shar-
red in by all of it's local bar. he said
Rockbridge. Augusta and Rockingham
made agcompact and homogeneous cir
cult and read sta, -ctics to show that one
Judge would not be overwhelmed with
work.
ANOTHER SPEECH.
Judge Quarles made another speech in
reply to Major Anderson and reminded
him that the people Of Augusta had never
gone hack on him. He again advocated
the merging of the City Court into the
Circuit Court.
Mr.. Mundy spoke in favor Of the amend
ment of Judge Ouarles and said his coun-
ty wished a change Of the circuits re-
ported by the committee and the aboli-
ton Of City Courts

About ozone.

Many people talk about ozone with
out so much as knowing what ozone is.
There is q prevalent idea that it is
something you get at the sea and that
it is good fov the lungs. What that
something is, however, few people have
sufficient curiosity to inquire. Ozone is
what chemists call an allotropic form
of oxygen-that is to say, it is oxygen
n a highly active and concentrated con-
dition. In ordinary pure air ozone ex-
lists. but only in what chemists call
traces" Larger amounts are found in
ocean and mountain air. 1t instantly
disappears WHEN brought in contact
with decaying matter, dissipating it
self. as it were, in the act of oXidizing
that matter.
Ozone is known to occur more plenu-
fully during thunderstorms, and we
have, of course, the analogy of its be-
ing artificially produced from oxygen
by electrical discharges in the labora-
tory. On the body ozone is believed to
act as a stimulant; hence the popular
notion of its beneficial effects as expe-
rienced by the sea, but in any greater
amount than mere traces it is violent
irritant One authority goes the length
of asserting that it is doubtful whether
it is beneficial to animal life at all.

When l reached that corner, was in

came to the door, Does Miss Nelson

answered, and l was turning away
when she called after me, is she

"'Well, l have seen some green
Swedes,' was her retort, and l did not

CORN MACHINERY.
New Methods of Handling the Corn
Crop-From Knife to Harvester.


New Methods of Handling the Corn
Crop-From Knife to Harvester.
We have been just as slow in employ
| ing new methods of harvesting and
| handling our corn as we were in ac-
cepting the wheat harvesters as sub
stitutes for the cradles, says Farm
| and Fireside correspondent. 1t took
years to introduce machines for the
handling of the wheat crop, and, while
they are now an absolute necessity,
| the corn machinery has to be forced
upon the attention Of the farmers in
many sections.
Our conservatism shows up plainly
when a sort of revolution in the meth
DDS of handling crop is urged upon
us. The greater part of the corn crop
Is still cut with q corn knife, and the
corn is husked by hand, while the fod-
der is fed long or else run through a
cutting box But machinery for per-
forming this work has been SO perfect
ed, the value of the stover has become
so we'll understood and the supply Of
hands has become so small upon the
farms that the corn harvester and
husker and shredder are making rapid
headway in gaining public favor.
Farm work must require less and less
human labor or go undone whenever
mines and factories have demand for
their products, as they can pay higher
wages than farming will justify.
With self binders, thrashers, mowers,
hayrakes and hay sings the wheat
and hay crops are now saved largely
by horse and steam power. Such pow
er must do the major part of the work
in the case of corn.
Successful harvesters are now in use,
and the shredders help us to get full
value out Of the stover, permitting the
sale of more high priced timothy hay.
The fact is worth noting that this
improved machinery is not displacing
labor on the farms, but is coming in
to do the work that has been abandon
ed by the men who have focked to
the factories and public works, where
better wages can be paid by employers.

A DUCK FOR THE FARM.
THE Pelsin Popular For All Practical
Purposes and Easily Raised.

THE PeIsin Popular For All Practical
Purposes and Easily Raised.
OF all ducks for farm and practical
purposes none stand higher in popular
esteem than the White Pellin. 1t is
valuable for raising ON large scale
and is the most easily raised of any.
1t is n very timid bird and must be
handled quite carefully.
The Pekin duck has a distinct type
of it's own and differs from all others
in the shape and carriage of its body,
owing to the full growth of feathers
under the rump and the singular turn
ed up tail The legs are set far back,
which causes the bird to walk in an
upright position.
In size these ducks are very large,
some reaching as high as twenty
pounds to the pair. Their flesh is very
delicate and free from grossness, and
they are considered among the best of
table fowls.
They are excellent layers, averaging
from 100 to 130 eggs each in season.
They are nonsetters, hardy, easily
raised and the earliest in maturing Of
any ducks.
The standard bred Pekin has long,
finely formed head, a bill of medium
size Of a deep yellow color that is per-
fectly free from any mark or color
other than yellow. The wings are
short, carried closely and smoothly
against the body. The birds cannot
