Correspondence ofThe Progressive Farmer.
A Farmers Institute was held at
King, Stokes county, N. c., Au-
gust 10th.
The meeting was called TO order
by Prof. Massey. Mr.. Vest was
elected chairman, and S. W. Hall,
secretary. Committee reported an
interesting program. Prof. Massey,
in a commou-sense way, told US how
to cure pea-vine and clover hay.
The farmers listened with interest
and profit. Commissioner Patterson
spoke of the objects of Farmers
I~nititates.
In the afternoon DR.. Kilgore, gave
a very interesting and instructive
address about the composition of
fertilizer and how to use it. Prof.
Massey gave some valuable informa-
ton about the chinch and cabbage
bugs, also about the proper cultiva-
ton of crops as to depth, etc. Com
missioner Patterson spoke about the
Agricultural Department of the State
and how it would help the farmer.
Prof. Massey talked to the ladies
about the cultivation of flowers. The
ladies were much interested in his
remarks. Several practical ques-
tions being answered by the visitors
present, after closing remarks, the
Institute adjourned.
Quite a large crowd was present
and all seemed to be interested. We
Are sur good was accomplished. We
wish similar gathering like this
could be held in every farming com
munity in North Carolina. Any
thing that helps the farmer and bet
ters his condition, is a blessing to
the State. We would not forget to
mention the music furnished by the
young ladies and gentlemen. 1t was
highly creditable and added to the
pleasure of the day.

CORN SLOWER FOR BEEF CATTLE.

Apparently at the present time
more attention is being given to
raising beef cattle than ever before.
In a general way, it may be said that
farmers and cattlemen throughout
the corn belt are spending consider
able time and money in grading up
their herds and taking the necessary
steps to secure pedigreed animals,
as we'll as in studying how the best
and most economical feed stuff a
be produced. Corn slower has been
found to be much better than hay
for feeding purposes, and is steadily
growing in popularity wherever corn
il grown.
Both the C, IN harvester and corn
husker and shredder are coming into
general use throughout the country.
Farmers are beginning to realize
that there is a great deal of wealth
wrapped up in the corn crop which
here tofore, has gone to waste. The
value of the corn crop has practi-
cally been doubled by the use of the
husker and shredder.
Those of our readers who are in
terested in corn machines should
write the Mccormick Harvesting
Machine Co., Chicago for "King
Corn" a beautifully illustrated
book, which tells all about saving the
corn crop. The book is mailed free.

Devery to be Tried.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE application
Of Deputy Police Commissioner William
s. Devery, to make absolute temporary
writ OF prohibition, restraining Justice
Jerome from trying charges of neglect Of
duty preferred against him was today
denied by Justice O'Gorman in the su-
preme court, the justice holding that the
magistrate has jurisdiction TO entertain
the complaint.
The charges against Devery were made
by Patrolman O'Neill, who alleges that
Devery treated him with oppression in
fning him 80 days pay for offenses
against the rules Of the police depart
ment. 1t was alleged in support of ap.
plication for the writ that Devery's acts
we're performed while he was acting in
a judicial capacity, and that he was
therefore exempt from personal liability.
1t vas also asserted that Justice jerome
was biased and prejudiced, and inspired
by partisan motives. -.

Death of Infant.

Dwight Willard Bayley, infant son Of
Rev. Dwight L. Bayley, died last night
at the home of Edgar A. Rider.
The child was 10 charge of nurse
since the death of it's mother in August
and was having the best Of care. The
sudden death OF the child. 30 soon fol-
lowing that of it's beloved mother, comes
as double grief on Rev. Bayley, who
loved the infant more dearly perhaps be-
cause Of the death OF it's mother 30 soon
after its birth.
The remains of the child will be taken
to Denver tonight by its father and laid
beside the grave of its mother from
whom it was separated 20 short time.
Rev. Bayley has the sympathy of large
circle Of friends and Of bis parishoners
in this his second bereavement in so
short q space of time.
Services over the remains will be held
in Denver.

Not Satisfactory.

Washington, Nov. 1l.-In the report of
the equipment bureau OF the navy it is
stated that the subject # wireless teleg-
raphy was followed carefully during the
year, but it does not appear advisable to
adopt any particular system at present
or to acquire any more apparatus than
necessary for the purposes of instruction.
1t is clear that no system as yet has
passed beyond the experimental stage.
Though most Of the principal naval pow
ers have adopted some form OF wireless
telegraphy for their ships. it is believed
from the reports received that none are
satisfactory. 1t was clearly shown dur
ing the international yacht races that
the difficulties OF interference" could
not be overcome with the apparatus
then used

Nav Invest In Colorado.

Denver, Nov. 11.-G. w. Bender OF
Berlin, Germany, left Denver last night
after having made an examination Of
the Colorado beet sugar industry for
the German government. Mr.. Bender
is connected with the experimental sec.
tion of the German bureau devoted to
agriculture and has made an extended
study Of sugar beets, which is one of the
principal crops of the fatherland.
The authorities in Berlin have received
many reports concerning tho adaptable
ity OF Colorado soil for the growing Of
sugar beets and it was determined to
send Mr.. Bender here to make a person
al examination and report. He refused
to reveal his conclusions, but it is under
stood that he Is couyinced that the Colo
RADIO beet is the superior OF the German
product. He has expressed the opipion
that il the problem Of securing cheap
labor can be satisfactorily solved the in
ter-mountain west is destined to monop-
olize the beet sugar business Of the Uni
ted States. At present millions of dol
lors worth OF beet sugar is annually I'm
ported from Germany and the Kaiser's
officers are naturally very jealous of any
rival which would threaten their control
of the trade. The German growers have
a decided advantage in the fact that
they can secure labor to handle their
crops for very much less than the same
work costs the American farmer. In
Mr.. Bender's opinion the Germans will
continue to enjoy that advantage for
many years.
1t is said that number Of wealthy
German sugar manufacturers are pre-
pared to invest heavily in Colorado's re-
fineries II Mr.. Bender's report Leads
them to believe that they may do 30 at
a profit.

To Fight Friday.

San francisco, Nov 11.-Both Jeffries
and Rubin are ready for the gong to
sound Friday night. They are doing
light work in the gymnasium and on the
road to keep in condition. Dslany and
Madden have had . conference with ref
cree Harry Corbett over the rules that
will govern the fight. II has been
agreed that the men In a clinch shall
break away at the order Of the referee
and that they shall protect themselves
in getting away. The referee, however,
will interpret the rules 90 that the con-
test will not develop into q hugging
match. The fight will be proceeded by
two four-round preliminaries between
local fighters. 1t is planned to bring
the big men into the ring at o:lb pm.
The work of preparing the ring began
today. Electric lights Of over 1000
candle power will be installed over the
ring for light for the moving picture
cameras.
The betting is light yet. Rubin
seems to be gaining some. He has some
takers at 2 to l. Some ring followers
predict that the odds on the night Of
the fight will be about 10 to in favor Of
Jeffries.

A Musical Stranger.

The other evening about 7:30 the hum
OF many voices and the click OF the ivory
balls, in the Pastime billiard and loung-
ing parlo., ceased suddenly. Every eye
was turned toward the rear of the room
whence came soft and entrancing music
A short man in shabby clothing. with
large brown beard, and with a big,
black hat drawn we'll down over his
forehead, was seen to be playing some
small instrument which his hands con.
cealed Nobody knew at first just what
it was; nobody cared. Everyone was
completely absorbed in the beautifully
expressive strains which the little man
sent forth to mingle with the blue-gray
clouds OF smoke. The hush was perfect.
The eyes OF many arough-appearing man
who occupied one OF the chairs ranged
about the room, grew moist and hazy.
Music has power to sooth and it has
pow er to bring back sweet, bitter and
sad memories OF the past. II on the
face Of every man present had been
written the dreams Of bygone days which
those eloquent sounds recalled, what a
book Of human trials, failures, tragedies
would there have been to read.
Presently the music oied away. Droop
ing heads were raised again, and starting
tears were brushed away. Then the
stranger, in rather high pitched voice
told his listeners that he had bsen play
ing an ocarina or potato" and that af-
ter giving them other selections on an
sarthenware ocarina and on his fife, he
would pass the hat. All Of which with
the possible exception of passing the
hat" he did to the evident delight OF
the audience. he closed his entertain
ment with popular pieces hammered out
OF a "wood-pile" 4olophone.
On making inquiries Sentinel report
er secured these brief replies from the
little man: "My name is Jim Radcliffe.
I came here from Durango, and am 60
ing to leave town tomorrow. My home
is all over; have always knocked
about, playing my instruments where
