THE POSSIBILITIES OF POULTRY D.
ING IN NORTH CAROLINA "NASI

When we consider the enorn,.
value of poultry produced in ~ S
United States, the hundreds Of r 1'
lions Of dollars stagger our imao+a4
ton. What part of this amons,
does our State produce? Only p w.
small part of what she should fns
nish.
This State is we'll adapted to Il.
poultry business. We not only bar,
the natural advantages, but we bor.
fine railroad connections with ~.
larger cities of the North. A fon
hours journey will put them on II.
market by express from most anr
part of the State. The fast fraiob.
will carry them much cheaper AM.
delay delivery only a short time.
The more civilized a people bo
come, the more poultry they usa
Hence we can look for better Drico.
in the future. There is d fortuna
for those farmers who are progress
i've and start now to raising pouItr7
to furnish the State with breeding
stock.
If a thousand men would engaoa
in raising breeding stock they would
not overstock the market.
The common chicken is very fine
but anybody can readily see that the
demand for a larger and quicker.
maturing chicken is growing Then
instead Of keeping hens that Law
from so to Is eggs per year, tbev
will buy those that lay double that
number and over.
When we go into the business on
a large scale and can furnish eggs and
broilers by the thousands we can eZ.
pect fancy prices. This State should
equal Missouri in poultry production
as our conditions are much more
favorable, and we have a better
market.
These thoughts are suggested by
an interesting article, "Ihe Hen as
a Factor" which appears On page
of this weeks Progressive Farmer.
Why cannot some of our wealthy
farmers follow the example Of the
~poultryman of Sidney, OhioE 1t is
only a question of time when we will
be into the business o a grand scale
and fortunate will the man be who
starts early. B.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mecklenburg, always in the lead
in the good roads movement, is now
to give the wide-tire a thorough test.
The impeachment trial began yes
terday (Monday) at noon. Judge
Allen made the opening speech for
the prosecution.
The dairymen have no idea Of Civ
ing up the fight for the Circuit bill.
Secretary Knights article on this
subject deserves the careful cOnsid-
errti7n of all that make butter.
Mony sections of North Carolina
and adjoining States are admirably
adapted to dairying, but the indus
try cannot be expected to grow so
long as the cleo fraud is allowed to
flourish unmOlested.
We have given more attention to
our Legislative summary than to any
other feature of this number. In
our effort to do that subject Justice,
the editorial page has been some
what neglected. But the Legisla-
ture is now doing most important
work and we believe a carefully con-
densed record Of It's proceedings
will be Of more interest to the read
ing public than our views of affairs
in general.
If the heads Of a haIf-dozen State
institutions can, by a little persistent
lobbying, secure increased appropria-
lions arggregating mauy thousand
dollars, must the Baptist State Con
v%ention, the two Methodist Con.
fercences, the Presbyterian Synod,
the North Carolina Press Associa-
ton, ETC., etc, petition in vain for
only $25, 900 to establish a Reforma-
tory for youthful criminals and main
tain the same for two years?

THIS E PAPER

Director R. J. Redding of the Geor-
gia Experiment Station is an au-
thority upon most matters affecting
Southern agriculture, and we are
sure our readers will find his Ger
tilizer Formulas valuable. It was
through Director Readings assis-
lance that we were enabled to better
expose the great "Limbless Cotton"
humbug,. at the time that so many
of u farmers were being duped by
agents of the fraud.
AgricOla, of Halifax county, dis
cusses a number of vital questions.
Whether or not you agree with him
throughout, you will find his views
suggestive. Messrs. Smith, Moore
and Harry Farmer also have letters
that you cannot afford to miss read
ing. The last paragraph of Harry
Farmers letter strikes the bulls
eye exactly paste it in your hat.
And about poultry read the item
from the Rocky Mount Motor on
page l and the article from the
Lima Times Democrat on page 8
Then put into practice the sugges-
tons made by Corresponding Editor
Irby on this page. To do so means
money in your pocket.
Our fourth and fifth pages contain
selections we'll worth reading-and
thinking about. Still we should pre-
fer to have columns /, 5 and 6 of
page / filled with articles from con-
tributOrs to Social Chat. Where
are its members? The sketch of
Queen Victoria is one of the best we
have seen we are sure u lady
readers will also be interested in the
articles on vines and climbers, which
ought to be more generally grown.
And the question, Who IRE North
CarOlina's twelve greatest men," is
one that ought to provoke further
discussion.
In our news columns the reader
will find the usual record of State
and general news. The great edu-
cational conference to be held in
Winston next month has not attrac-
ted the attention among our people
that it's Importance deserves. The
record of the Fifty-Sixth Congress is
carefully reviewed. Many of the
important acts of the session just
ended may have slipped your mem
DRY you will find our summing up
well worth its space. The failure
of Round Bale Searles is also a mat
ter of interest to farmers.

The metropolitan press tells with

W. E. T. has a question of real
Importance to all farmers. There is
no farm but that has sooner or later

farm animals. Such cannot be turned
to account, unless d cheap way to

such matter, except perhaps the
bodies which are highly contagious,
has been a topic about which we
have looked for data for some time.
The bodies of animals which have

Today's Session.

The Tuesday morning session of the
institute opened by singing Onward
Christian Soldier" after prayer offered
by Rev. Pinkert, followed by the roll
call.
The teachers then listened to a very
interesting address by the Rev. Pink
6Tt. He spoke of the forces most po-
tent in character building, namely,
concentration, and a humility that
must recognize the fact hat we must
continue growing; that to think the
end of learning Is reached is intellec.
tual suicide. He referred feelingly to
the teachers work in helping to form
the moral and spiritual life of her
charges. and closed by a quotation
from Longfellow's m~atchless poem,
THE Psalm of Life"
DR.. Phillips satisfied, in part the Gu
riosity of the teachers. in regard to
their seven sins.
Prof. Roberts was detained by duties
at the university, so his topic for the
morning was postponed. but he return

professional certificates of Wyoming
