No one thing can do so much to
offset the tendency to leave the farm
for the city as the making and keep
ing up of good roads.
Nothing SO appeals to the con-
Stunning public as to be absolutely
certain that the dairy products they
buy have come through absolutely
clean and fastidious hands.
Among the things which go to
make a COW valuable is that she be a
long mixer. It is often in the breeds
and needs to be cultivated by those
who wish to have satisfactory milk
ers.
The mainstay of the state is its
farms and country homes. The sci
ence of agriculture should be taught
in all schools kept up by state funds.
and the state should see to it that
such course of study is provided.
Only half century ago, the first
Angora was landed in this country as
curiosity, and it has been only with
in few years that they have attract

and pelts, and very recently for their
meats.

in ten years the rice area in

600 acres. were under cultivation, and
the area bids fair to reach 250,00c
acres in 1908.
AS long as prices are controlled
by size, style, speed and stamina there
is no danger of values getting toe
high. for the reason that horses will
actually be worth all they bring in
the market. the purchaser getting
demonstrated value for his money.
1t is alleged by those who should
know that .95 per cent. of the fertli-
ling matter Of the food consumed
by sheep is returned to the soil. If
this is SO, and we have no reason to
doubt it, it pays to feed farm prod
ucts to sheep.
Every forlxful of manure spread
on the farm has value It is a sur
prise that so many farmers win let
so much cash" lie around the feed
lots and in waste places when it can
be turned to account. Barnyard fer
tility win do no good unless applied
| to fields of usefulness.

When the skeleton of the first gorilla
brought to Europe by Paul Du Chailh
was on show in London the pL tIic was
admitted on presentation of cards.
The late duke of Argyle wrote to Dp
Chaillu that on such and such a day
"the duke of Argyle proposed to visit
the gorilla" Du Chaillu. who was OF
a very quick temper and refused to be
patronized, at once wrote back that
the gorilla was to be seen every day
between certain hours and that II the
duke of Argyle presented his card he
would no doubt be admitted like the
rest Of the public.

bear up under.
One night she gave a dinner. Several
members of the diplomatic set were pres

she also wore diamond tiara and several
strings of pearls around her neck.
During the evening she complained OF
feeling a bit chilly. and told one of the

When the maid appeared she is said

were swollen so that he could not walk

the end of eight days the swelling was all
gone, but as l wanted to be sure, I kept on

THE CULTURE OE ALFALFA.
An Object Lesson on Some of the
Great Farms of North Carolina
I'm the Culture of Alfalfa.

In company with the commissioner
of agriculture of North Corolina and
the director of the North Carolina ex-
pertinent station, the writer visited
the fine farm of Col. ]. S. Carr, near
Hillsboro, n. c., for the purpose of
seeing the alfalfa fields there. 1t
would be a great object-lesson to
some who imagine that no good farm
ing is done in the south to visit this
farm and the nearby one belonging
to Mr.. Duke. High farming is being
done on both of these places, and on
Col. Carr's place about one hundred
thousand dollars have been expended
In the most elaborate farm-buildings
to be found anywhere. The manager
assured us that he had been shipping
carload after carload of alfalfa hay
west, north and south, and that all
who use it unite in saying that 1t Il
the best hay they ever used FOL
horses or cattle. This would seem to
be fair answer to the objections one
of our friends in the west has re-
Gently made. The horses on Col
Carr's farm, which are fed on this
hay, were in as fine order as horses
need TO be. The first crop of alfalfa
was nearing the time of the first
moving. Il is not little pet let
but wide fields Of verdure. the sight
of which would do stockman good
and those who imagine that alfalfa
will not thrive in the east because o1
the rainy climate should see this mag
nifieent area getting ready for the
mower Tt is no new thing. either

Wonders will seemingly never cease
especially when the corn plant is
concerned. One would think that with
such an anomaly as that of a big
grass plant furnishing both sugar
and vinegar, ship-side packing and
silk the limit had been reached, but
now comes word from Washington
that the department of agriculture
has discovered way to make from
the corn plant the paper on which to
write it's marvellous history for the
benefit of posterity.-Breeders' Go

this alfalfa is growing is heavy red
Piedmont clay, like thousands Of
acres all over the Piedmont country
east of the Blue Ridge, from the Po-
tomac to- central Georgia, and the
success there had shows that all over
the southern red-clay uplands this
valuable crop may be grown. As we
learn the conditions for success it Is
evident that alfalfa has come to stay
and viii be leading forage crop in
the east, as it has no long been in thu
west.-Practical Farmer.

Advice worth Following.

To very considerable extent the
object of the general farmer should
be to produce, as far as possible,
everything that his family and his
live stock will use, and have a surplus
of these products that can be most
readily marketed, and yet will take
the least quantity of fartilizing ele-
ments from his soil. In this way he
reduces his outlay to minimum and
gives himself an opportunity to re
alize on a variety of products.-Faru

SHE KNEW PATRICK.
And Felt sorry for Any "Filypiny''
That was strapped to
Her Son.

Chaplain Edward Vattman, U. 8. A.,
recently returned to Washington from
the Philippines and relates with con-
siderable humor his experience with an
elderly Irish woman whose son is mum.
bered among the missing, reports the
Washington Post.
The young man, Patrick by name, .
private by rank and Washingtonian,
was captured some time ago by Ia
drones. and when last seen was being
taken into the mountains, strapped to
a fierce-looking Filipino. Father Watt
man learned the particulars, and when
he returned to Washington called upon
the bereaved mother to break the
news. Her intuition assisted him, for
she said Immediately:
you've come to tell me of Patrick,
father"
"Yes.- said the priest; land my good
woman. you must remember that
Whom the Lord loveth He chasten-
efh;' In the midst of life we are in
death, but the Lord comforts the af-
fiicted-'"
"Yes yes. father" interrupted Pat
ricks mother; "but tell me the news,
father, dear"
swell, my poor woman" said the
priest, sorrowfully, 1.-The last we heard
of poor Patrick he was strapped to a
Filipino and was being taken into the
mountains"
"My, my!" exclaimed the sorrowful
mother; God have mercy upon the
poor Filypiny that's sthrapped to my
Pathrick!"

Some folks imagine the farmer does
not need to read or think. His bust
ness is just to plod through the mud,
keep his nose down to the earth, and
never look up to see what is going on
in the world. That was the old idea
of farming. 1t is passing away, and
ought to go, with lot of other
things that once were looked upon as
being all right, but which we of to-
day know to be as wicked as Salem
witchcraft.-Farm Journal.
