DEBRIS.
While the sale was going on one
heard many IA short pithy expression
or a bit of information worth treas
uring up.
A few of these are gathered below
1T is only the first cost that
hurts" This was said in speaking
of pure bred stock such as was being
sold on the spot. The speaker was
urging that such stock could be
raised cheaper than common or grade
stock, because it inherited an incli-
nation to grow flesh and lay on fat
far in excess of common stock.
Only friend, my experience is that
if you pay IA poor price you have to
ask Il poor price and if you pay IA
good price YOU can ask it
To Il remark about his buying Il
large number, Il Western breeder
remarked "Thev are cheap as dirt,
YOU know" and this was his estimate
when prices were as given above.
Altogether the sale was a great
success and will he long remembered.
1t is to be hoped it will have the
effect to stir uD our North Carolina
farmers to the Importance and value
OF farm stock as it Is within the reach
of all to breed good animals, to feed
them better than is being done, and
to realize much higher prices than
are being obtained for most of the
stock in the State. This applies to
all other classes as we'll as to swine.
The BiltmOre Farm managers are
talking of a fall sale and of a series
of annual sales of which this one
inst held is announced in their Cata-
logue to be the ''First Annual"
May this series be a long one and
GROW in inheritance. F. E. E.

1t is White and the Invention Of a
Young Woman Teacher.

Cleveland Plaind Dealer, Miss Em-
ma Levi. a teacher of one OF the lower
grades in the Eagle school has Invent
ed slate which is intended to climi-
nate the sponge as part of the school
furniture and upon the tests made by
the authorities there is little doubt Of
the slate coming into general Use in the
Cleveland schools.
Miss Levi in telling of her invention
says. Il am sure that il will fulfill the
purposes for which il was invented. AS
long as have been IN the profession
the sponge for states has been ono of
the things which made it unpleasant
Long before the germ theory was adj
vanced and the sponge condemned be-
cause Of the scattering of disease
through it. ] reached the conclusion
that il could not but have an undesii'-
able influence upon the health of the
school children
| first tried to find an eraser which
would take the place Of the sponge, and
not need water Here | found that the
Slate is so porous that. while its sur
face appears to be smooth, under mi
croscope ii can be seen that the use OF
a slate in writing exercises depends up
on the porousnesS and that the only
way 10 thoroughly clean them is by the
application of water
Finally another problem presented it,
self, which led TO the solution of both
1t and the sponge difficulty ! observ-
cd, as haze all teachers that 1t was
practically impossible to use the slate
on dark days. which are most numerous
in Cleveland. Most school rooms have
no means of artificial lighting. and on
cloudy days the effect of having the
states outside the desks was to make
the rooms even more gloomy. as putting
the eyes of the children in jeopardy We
got orders one day NOT to nse the states
on these dark days. but to allow them
to study from their books. This gave
me the idea OF white slate and was
the beginning Of my research along
that line.
My first object was to produce a
slate which would be white, and which
could be cleaned readily When ]
found such a Slate. or possibly II is Il
misnomer to cali il slate, as it is real
ity substitute for the slate. | then he
lieved that the time had come to get rid
of the sponge in the schools.
Il worked until ! secured n compost
ton which would have a glazed surface
ard then turned my attention to a pen
Gil which would have an affinity for the
surface, and It's marks still be readily
removed. The pencil by the way, was
mol the least of the difficulties. but at
last | have pencil and a slate which
win 90 together and eliminate both tho
difficulty X regard TO unsanitary
spongrs and t1edarkening effect OF the
slate
Since | have finished the slat find
that il has an advantage over other
states in the matter Of teaching writing
| and the frec-arn movement which is
taught in our schools can be acquired
from the first over its glazed surface
thing which has been impossible with
| the old slate.

why sparrows do Not MIGRATE

FARM AND GARDEN THREE
We are asked why It is that the eng.
fish sparrow docs not migrate--seek a
warmer climate when winter comes.
II is the question of food supply
which largely determines the migra-
tons of birds and not because thev are
not hardy enough to endure the cold Of
the winter Thus. all wild fowls have
their food supply entirely shut off
when the lakes and rivers freeze up
while the dearth or Information Of all
insect life compels the departure OF all
insectivorous birds. The sparrow is
Just simply a sraycnger his main food
simply being obtained from the partly
digested grains In the offal OF the
horse, and so II comes that wherever
horses are kept there win the sparrow
be able to winter. Then, it is a very
hardy bird and one which more than
any other bird has the ability to adjust
itself to almost any climatic condition.
A hailstorm in July will kill ten times
as many sparrows as a blizzard in
