VALUE OF SERMONS.
Baptist Preacher Asks $50 Each
and Gets $I.23 Each.
Southern Railroad settles for lost
Manuscripts After the Matter Is
Determined by Ministerial
board of Arbitration.

The cash value of Baptist sermons in
Virginia has been officially fixed at
s1.23 and a fraction each. A board Of
arbitration composed of Baptist cler-
gymen the other day decided that the
Norfolk 4 Western Railroad company
must pay Rev. w. p, Hines, pastor Of
the Park View Baptist church at Ports
mouth, $3.50 for ZOE sermons lost BY
agents and employees of the company.
Mr.. Hines had valued the sermons at
$50 each.
Pastor Hines was a passenger on a
Norfolk & Western railway train few
weeks ago and had the company check
his valise. in which we're the 202 SER
mons, besides Bible on which were
many memoranda Of a religious nature,
When he presented the check for the
valise at his destination il could not
be found. and although a tracer was
sent out the valise was never located.
DIR. Hines told the railway people
that the loss of his best sermons would
place him in an embarrassing position.
and he asked 10 be reimbursed. The
company declined TO pay $50 apiece for
the lot, and suggested that the matter
be settled by arbitration. DIR. Hines
agreed to the proposition.
The railway people selected Rev. DR..
Lafferty, editor of the Richmond Chris
tian Advocate. DIR. Hines selected Rev.
DIR. Owen, Of a local Baptist church, and
these two ministers selected Rev. DIR.
j. J. Hall. pastor Of Park Avenue Bap-
fist church at Norfolk.
The conference began in the morn
ing. and all through the day the value
of the sermons was discussed and ar
gued, until finally $3.50 was agreed
upon.
DR.. Hines, when notified. said he was
satisfied, and the railway people ac-
cepted the verdict, so DR.. Hines will re-
ceive check for $3.50.
The case has attracted widespread
attention, and II is believed to be the
first of its kind on record in this coun-
try.

HORSE NOTES.

Train the colt for a fast walker.
 The draft horse Is the standard busi- mes horse of the world
 Grow the 1700-pound horse and see how well they will sell
 It Is a hard m alter to put too high a price on such a horse. They go like hot cakes among corn huslkers.
 Teach the colt to walk fast and don't allow him to trot until he has learned to walk as fast as he can without trotting. Let the colt walk fast and make him keep on walking as fast as he can, and the habit will soon become a fixed one
 A colt generally wants to go as fast as he can but the troube is he Is allowed to do this at trot
 The best way to get a fast walking horse Is to train him as a colt to walk as fast as he can without trotting.
 The profit in rearing a three-year old colt that will sell for $100 only is much greater than in rearing a steer that sells at that age for $50.
 There Is a steady, demand for horses both for working and for driving, at very remunerative prices.
 It costs more to feed and rear a ssDo colt than one worth but $50. The cost of the sire is the only difference. This ia now a seasonabIe matter to rpake a note of.
 A successful horseman prevents crib ping by keeping bucket of water in the stall and feeding in low-down boxes. He asserts that the horse becomes thirsty

l want to offer few words of caution about using fresh slacked lime on tender plants. The use of lime is all right when used right. but all wrong when used wrong.

The Poultry Yard.


 Give the COW good care twelve months an the year.
 The feeding should be as regular as the milking.
 ] he man or woman who sets out to be a dairyman must love his work. No feed that has an odor should be permitted to remain about the stables. There is as much nutrirnent in a quart of milk as a pound of beef.
 The dairyman must meet the competi- tion of every one else in the matter of selling his products.
 The poor man, above all others, can least afford to be slipshod in the care given his cows.
 It is almost impossible to get things clean and sweet if left to dry with sour milk and cream in them.
 The place where cream and milk are kept must be free from odors.
 Though an economical feeder, a good COW has no power to make something out of nothing.
 Where the dalryman can make money is in reducing the cost of his milk and by keeping only good COWS and produc- ing big crops with which to feed them. You cannot feed moldy hay, bad sil- age, musty corn fodder that has been .prt into the mow when 1t was not in shape to go there and get good milk
 The cows should be fed and milked regularly, and any deviation from their accustomed time for either will be very prompt to show It's result in the milk bucket
 The success of failure of the dairy man will generally depend very largely upon the care that is given to his herd and on the comfort and favorable con- dition with which he surrounds the cows Good dairying requires comfortable sta bling. good bedding, strict attention tc cleanliness, such ventilation as will fur. nish good air. the kindly treatment of the COW with exercise in the open air, except when the weather is severe.
 Good milking Is an important factor ir the management of the COWS, for many a good COW is prevented from doing hel best by the unkindness, or even the roughness that is not meant unkindly on the part of the mill1er.
 Milking should be done regularly al fixed hours each day, milking the cows in the herd in the same order and as ia, as possible by the same mixers
 No dairyman can practice cruelty tc animals and expect to obtain a decen price for his milk and butter. This is ar memorable law promulgated by nature
 Every farmer in Alabama should be z dairyman, and to be a good dairyman should be a subscriber to the Mammontt Eighty-four Column Twelye-Page Week ly Age-Herald.
 Milking should be rapidly done. as rap idly indeed as Is consistent with gentle ness, and the milker should get all the milk each time, otherwise he will fint the yield gradually decreasing. As 2 means of securing the best yield of whicf a COW Is capable feeding Is of the highest importance.
 It Is not mere A-Itiment that calls fol washing and scalding a milk pail or par until Its every crack Is absolutely sterile but, to the ever wise, a certain practica object is in view-namely top price tc be secured for future butter, the crude material of which must pass through that utensii.

It is mistake to feed pigs too much grain.
 Young growing hogs ought to be fed more swill.
 Ground corn put in to swill is stilf bet ter.
 For young hogs ground corn with oats or barley mixed in the swill nake splen- did feed.
 Plenty of wood ashes are helpful in keeping down. worms; also. a box of con- centrated lyeiwith a small opening in one end and put lin the swill barrel will help to keep thesgrowing pigs in good fix. We hope the present scarcity of hogs will clean out all the long nose razor- backs which have been an eyesore for Iso many years, and require breeders to keep a better grade of stock which will Iproduce three or, four times the profit of raZorbacks.

HOG RAISING.

More farmers should raise hogs every year
 A hog can be raised In Alabama for half 1t costs in Illinois or Kansas.
 There Is always more or less feed which hogs will eat that often goes to waste.
 Why can't Alabama be as noted for its hogs as are any of the Western States.
 The American Berkshire Association re- corded more anim als in March, 1902, than in any previous month of its history of 25 years.
 A few hogs will bring in quite a snug sum of money when they are from eight to twelve months old and are always as good as cash.
 There are two disca9ss termed hog cho- lera, one affecting bowels (the true cholera) and the which attacks the lungs and known Jwine plague. An animal may also both diseases at the same time, but c|ch cases are rare.

The horse has been here so long that we are 10th to give it up in a hurry. The man who is breeding really good horses Is not engaged in business that will loss him any money.
 The Shetland pony originated in the Shetland Isles, off the north cost of Scot land. The ponies are largely used in the northern countries for working in the mines and in places where 1t Is impossi- ble for the larger horses to work. and contracts the habit, which water handy prevents Georgia pine managers prevent cribber from biting; the rosin taste is not reiished.

Dry Weather.

My former prediction for a dry May seems to be holding out well, as 1t is, now the middle of the month and no rain yet. Nor do I expect to see much rain this month though l may miss my guess and should be glad to see my mistake. Ordinarily farmers do not want much rain in this month, but rather have fine weather for getting crops cultivated
 But this season the conditions are all different to what we usually have. We he'd cold, wet weather right up to May. then we went out of winter right into hos summer. Owing to so much rain farmers were unable to get much land plewed, then when the rains did quit there was so little time before the land got too dry to blow well and what was broke broke up In clods, and 1t has been almost impossible to make fine seed bed. Owing to this unfavorable condition of things all crops In this sec Ion are suffering for rain. The farmers are very late in getting crops planted, and there Is much land yet unbroken which can not be plowed until we have soaking rain. It will be almost im- possible to get this unbroken land in corCition for producing a crop of any thing this season It Is a hard time now for setting plants of any kind. and the sweet potato crop Is bound to be short unless we have rains soon SO that the' plants may be safely set. I seldom ever wait for rain for setting out sweet po- tato plants, but this Is once when we will have to wait for rain. Pastures. too, arc getting low and stock will soon suffer for grass During a dry time like this all growing crops should have regular but shallow cultivation. The soil should be kept stirred that the soil n.ay not become packed around the
