sUPERsTITIoNs DYING OUT

Real estate men are gradually forget
ting most Of the old-time superstitions
which used to cause us much trouble"
said dealer the other day to reporter
of the New York Tribune. "The number
Of houses which cannot be rented or sold
on account Of being haunted or because
some terrible crime was committed on
the premises is rapidly increasing. We
run across only few people who balk at
living in house No. 13. Even elderly
men who have made big fortunes are
beginning to believe that there is moth
ing in the old saying that the aged rich
man builds mansion to die in it. New
Workers are entirely to practical to hold
to old superstitions; besides, the big apart
ment houses which we are building all
over town are blotting out the old houses
which may have had histories"
''Tell me something about the haunted
houses which are still standing in this
city," the agent was requested.
Now you are getting on dangerous
ground. In these days Of well-defned
libel laws you can't talk about a mans
property in way that will depreciate its
value without paying well for your fun.
Circulating ghost stories about particular
houses is not calculated to improve their
renting value, and the owners might be

damage. There is one house in West
Eleventh street that is never more than
half-flled, because years ago some one
thought the house was haunted, and the
story of the terrible ghosts that walk
| about the halls at night has been handed
down from tenant to tenant. There are
other haunted houses, but we are trying
to forget where they are hoping that the
stories will be forgotten. 1t is generally
difficult to rent or dispose Of houses in
which sensational crimes have been COM
mitted. Long murder trials in which the
houses figured prominently usually cause
them to remain vacant for long time

Things to Remember

The aim should be to produce from $50
to 200 pound pigs at six to seven months
old for the greatest profit. Keep on
friendly terms with your herd, cultivate
quiet dispositions. Have the hogs so
that you can handle them with ease.
Quietness and patience will eid in doing
this. As soon as your hogs are ready,
sell them; you have no further profitable
use for them on the farm. The man who
keeps his hogs after they are ready to go,
expecting to get more a pound, will be
very apt to lose money, while the one
who sells when the hogs are ready gener-
ally hits it.
The man with the good stuff and who
is not overstocked, reaps the greatest re-
ward, while the one who is overstocked,
Of course, underfeeds and fails to get out
Of the business what he should. A
breeder who will accomplish anything
by permitting his animals to lose in
growth has the expense and no work
done. The fault with the young breeder
is in keeping more stock than can prop
erly be cared for. There should be no
difficulty in seeing which is the right
road to pursue.

stick to Cows and Clover

There are no friends like the old friends
whether it be in the home or in business,
in the dairy or on the farm. But here
our philosophy confines me to COWS and
crops. Cows have proved themselves
good friends to many of US and it is well
to hold fast to such. Clover is in the
same list, and if this friend gets shy
sometimes, it is worth while coaxing a
little Clover is feminine. The best
things are always of that persuasion, and
in its line there is nothing in the world
better than clover, therefore she is shy
and coy, often, perhaps, that she may be
coaxed and wooed and petted and cared
for. mean our common, everyday, red
clover, the clover that was the salvation
of our fathers unwise methods of farm
ing. There are miles written about
alfalfa. I want some of it and mean to
have it, but SO far have not succeeded
in my coaxing. I am not talking down
alfalfa or any other good thing. Our
lives and lands are often enriched by new
friends, but let us hold fast to the old.
Let US keep faith with the COWS and
clover.

FARM NOTES
Winter Layers

Nearly all poultry owners are anxious
to increase the egg yield during the sea
son when eggs are highest in price.
With that end in view, many spare
neither time nor expense for houses,
proper food, care, etc. Even then some
fail. Old hens are not the kind to keep for
winter laying. The thing Of paramount
importance is to have early hatched pull
let's Of laying breed that have been well
cared for during the growing season.
Such stock given comfortable quarters,
with variety Of grains, warm mashes,
ground bone, grit, ETC., will begin laying
early in the fall and continue through
winter. They seldom fail to give hand
some profit for the time, money and labor
expended.

Cost of Virginia'S Constitution

The Virginia Constitutional Con-
vention and the legislation necessita-
ted thereby and incident thereto will
have cost the Commonwealth nearly
of quite half a million dollars when
all the bills have been paid. That is
the estimate Of a gentleman who has
had exceptional opportunities to
form an accurate estimate. 1t may
fall slightly short of the figure
named but according to his estimate
it will approximate 100000.
The actual cost Of the convention
itself was, in round figures. $184,OOO.
rhe extra session of the General AS
sembly, called by the convention to
recognize the new Constitution, cost
about 81 800 more. An extra session
preceding the convention cost $685.
900. The election of delegates to the
convention cost large sum. The
editing and publication OF the de-
bates is yet to be done and paid for.
That will be no inconsiderable figure.
The session of the General Assembly
to begin next week, and which is
made necessary by the convention
work, will cost probably 1926, OOO,a and
there are many other little odds and
ends of expense to be added.
Altogether the prophet quoted
placed the grand total of expense Of
the convention and incident and sub
seQuent thereto at little short OF the
half-million mark. RichmOn d Dis

The following from the Blackstone
Courier shows the estimate placed
upon the services of our representa-
tive, Senator LeCato, by the people
generally of the State:
The misfortune that has befallen
Senator LeCato-he having suffered
a stroke of paralysis-is to be regret
ted by the entire state, certainly II il
will permanently incapacitate him
from further service to the state.
There are but few men who have
rendered the state more service OF
real and permanent value during the
past few years than DR.. LeCato and
his work 10 not yet finished. We sim
cerely trust his hoped for recovery
may prove complete reality"
The Virginian-Pilot commenting
on the above says, that the people
of this section should and do share
the sympathy and regret of Senator
LeCato's immediate constituents. He
is exceptionally we'll informed in
matters affecting this section and has
proven himself capable and Jealous
servant not merely of his own people
but Of the whole section as well. 1t
is sincerely to be hoped that he may
be able to resume his public duties. "
1t Is gratifying to be able to state,
that the Senator is gradually i'm
proving, and without a change for
the worse, not now expected, will soon
be able to resume his duties as our
representative in the General Assem-
bly,.

ACooMAO COURT HOUSE. VA

A Farmers Institute, we are ad'
vised by Hon. John E. Nottingham,
is to be held by the Commissioner OF
Agriculture of Virginia, in Eastville-
on Thursday, the Goth inst, and In
calling attention to it, we cannot, we
believe, too earnestly urge the at
tendance of the farmers from every
section Of the Eastern Shore. The
thrifty and intelligent tillers OF the
soil OF our Peninsula indeed cannot
afford to be absent. With their ia
cility for compromising the errors,
which may be pointed out to them
in their methods of farming and OF
profiting by the suggestions which
may be made to them, there can be
DO doubt In their minds as to their
duty to be present and avail them
selves OF the advantages which the
Institute will offer them. Every pro
gresslve farmer. at least, ought to
feel, with whatever success he may
have grown certain crops, that there
is something to be learned about
them which he may not know and
ought to be willing to learn. But
while the farmers, who attend the In
stitute, will be benefited in the way
indicated variety of other subjects
will be discussed OF especial interest
to them, such as fertilizers, fruits,
dairy products, stock, &C., and about
which they will learn something
which will be of benefit to them in
the future. In fact, there can be no
subjects discussed which will not be
Of interest to them, with the oppor-
tunities they now have of marketing
everything they may have for sale
to advantage through the Exchange.
The farmers In other sections OF the
State have taken great interest IN
and have been greatly benefited by
these Institutes and there can be no
reason why we cannot profit by them
also. Eastville is too easy of access
under the present schedule of the n.
Y. P. l. n. r. r. for anyone to forego
the pleasure and deprive himself of
the benefit which ought to accrue to
him in attending the Institute.
