Standing for Freedom of the Press.

WayneSVllle courier.
Josephus Daniels, editor Of the
Raleigh News and Observer, has been
in the public eye ever and anon for
quite a while, but perhaps never more
favorably than now, while in duress,
because of the stand he has taken for
the rights Of the people of the State
and the freedom of the press. In or
dering Mr. Daniels to appear before
his Honor Judge Purnell of the Fed
eral court for alleged contempt be-
cause of the editorials in Sunday
News and Observer criticiSing Judge
Purnell's appointment of a receiver
for the Atlantic q North Carolina rail-
road, Judge Purnell has shown the
peeviShness of a child or exhibited
the tyranny of a deSpot. And then
following this up with q $4,000 fine
and peremptorally declining bond or
the right of appeal and simultane-
ously appointing V. e. McBee, as CO.
receiver of the Atlantic and North
Carolina railroad in view of the lat
ter's standing and the antecedent cir
cumstances of the case, it looks very
like spite pure and simple. Well
Josephus Daniels stands, as he has
ever stood on great moral questions
coming up in the State, like a rock,
on the side of right. In this particu-
lar episode Josephus Daniels is held
in honor by the people of the State
while Judge Purnell is held in con-
tempt.
what sort of microbe has gotten
into the blood of some of our judges
any way? Well, this contempt of
court business has one effect if no
other: 1t is arousing the contempt of
the people over the State.

MORNING TONIC.
(John G.. Whittier.)

If there be some weaker one,
Give me strength to help him on;
If a binder soul there me,
Let me guide him nearer Thee.
Make my mortal dreams come true
With the work | fain would do;
Clothe with life the weak intent,
Let me be the thing l meant;
Let me find in Thy employ
Peace that dearer is than joy;
Out of self to love be led,
And to heaven acclimated,
Until all things sweet and good
Seem my natures habitude.

One-Mun Cross-Cut Saw.

When one man operates the cross
cut saw the blade Is apt to wabble
more or less, making 1t difficult for
one man to get good work from the
tool. An excellent way to strengthen
the blade is to take hickory pole
about foot longer than the saw, shaw.
ing down the end rather fiat so that
1t will be about one-half inch thick.
Saw a slit In this end Of the pole,
slip 1t over the saw blade close to the
handle and wire 1t to the handle after
making two holes, one on either side
of the slit in the pole. The other end
may be treated in the same manner
or a notch may be cut in the handle
Of the saw and the shaved end Of the
pole 60 up against this notch and be
wired to the handle.
If the pole Is a good one this device
will materially stiffen the saw blade
so that one man can operate the saw
with good results. The illustra ton
shows the details as follows: Figure

Keep Chicks Growing.


Whether the chickens are being
raised for the market or for winter
layers, It is essential that they make
the best possible growth from birth to
going into winter quarters or to the
market. The range, to large extent.
solves the question Of food and Of
healthy growth, but 1t Is necessary
that the chicks have some food other
than that picked up on the range, or
they will wear themselves out trying
to get enough to eat.
Then, II they roost under cover at
night, and they should by all means
do this, there is the question Of lice
which must be given proper considera-
ton, for few lice will cause the chick
to lose more weight in month than
can be made good by two months OF
feeding. Everything possible must be
done to keep the chicks growing dur
Ing the summer; keep them making
strong, steady gain, and then they will
be profitable, and not otherwise.

a little into admired disorder by the
bluff wind on the heath, her cheeks
were flushed with health and beauty,

In which we walked breast high, and

What did it matter that she was pre-
pared to give battle to the monster

Skim Milk for Pixs.

Relative to an inquiry concerning
skim milk and pigs, will say that when
two weeks old the young pig will be-
gin to take skim milk from a separate
trough. OF course, only little will be
consumed at that time, but 1t should
be supplied two or three times daily
at nrst and twice daily later. At first
skim milk alone may be given, but
later cornmeal. barley meal or mid
dlings should be added. Allow the
young pig to eat practically all It will
Of the combination. Often It Is best
to have the trough from which the
pigs feed In a special inclosure where
the pigs can reach II, while the dam
Is kept away. II this plan is followed
the pigs will gradually wean them
selves when about ten weeks old, or
at least there will be no trouble in
finally separating them from the dam.
Carefully conducted experiments at
this station have shown that to get
the largest returns from both milk and
meal, not over three pounds Of skim
milk should be given for each pound
of cornmeal or other grain. Where one
has large quantities Of milk he may
feed as much as from six to nine
pounds of milk with each pound Of
grain, but in that case the returns are
no so economical as where the milk
does not run over three pounds for
each pound Of grain.
There is no better single feed for
pigs than skim milk. Often where
large numbers Of pigs are handled
there are runts or pigs Of condi-
ton, undersized, etc. Always separate
these from the main lot and fed them
separately, giving special care. Ono
will be surprised to see how the un-
likely specimens will improve with a
little care and extra allowance Of milk
and grain.-Prof. w. A. Henry. In

THADDY'S SONG.

Once on u day they clipped away

Visions of shades within the glades
Where dwell the elf and fairy.
My ways ran down into the town
Where all men strive for money;
And l forgot the briery spot
Where wild bee sucks the honey.
Then on day in leafy May
Came to my house q laddy;
And as he grew found he knew
What had escaped his daddy.
He takes me by the solemn, shy,
Sweet silent woodland places;
We hear the beat of elfn feet
We almost see their faces!
Ho! but It's fine 90 to resign
The dun towns toil and worry;
And through his eyes grow young and
wise
Where no ones In hurry.

Poultry Hints.

As an reproducing grain oats has
not an equal among cereals.
Best results are not obtained by per-
mitting poultry to roost in trees.
Pure refined charcoal Is one Of the
best disinfectants for the poultry
yards.
Ducks may be advantageously
raised on many farms where they
have never yet been tried.
Young geese are not good breeders.
A goose yields about 81 year in
feathers, the market price being about
40 to so cents a pound.
Poultry is raised on SS.S per cent Of
the farms in the United States. 1t
would be interesting to know what per
cent use high grade fowls.
Chicks raised in late spring and
midsummer can be made to lay by
February II they are given some meat
In their daily ration.
Soft-shelled eggs are seldom found
where hens are supplied with cracked
bone or small bits Of oyster shells.
Many failures with incubators are
due lately to ignorance in those try
ing to run them. In this, as In every
thing else, a person must learn how.
Goose eggs do not hatch well when
shipped quite distance.
Young ducks should be kept away
from swimming water until they are
well feathered.
Cleanliness is the keynote Of health.
Nothing will breed sickness so quickly
as filth, and 1t is very easy to have the
henhouse become filthy.
The breeding birds should not be
kept in the same flock with the ones
that are being fitted for market. After
a certain age the birds that are to be
fattened should be separated from the
othsrk

School for Training Farmers.

American farmers are the most intel
ligent tillers Of soil in the world. An
example of this is shown in the i'm
proved agricultural machinery Of this
country as compared with that Of 9TH
er countries. A large part of this ma
chinery is due to the inventions Of the
farmers themselves. In selling farm
machinery in foreign countries, the
greatest drawback to the development
of the trade is the ignorance Of the
farmer classes. One American firms
trade has been so hindered tnat it has
decided to start a school Of training
for farmers sons at Orusk, Russia,
where the principles of mechanics as
applied to farm machinery will be
taught.

Feeding Value of Alfalfa.

1t is within a few years since any
special attention has been paid to
alfalfa and farmers have been slow
in testing 1t. Perhaps the undisputed
statement that ton Of alfalfa prop.
erly cured has nearly the same feeding
value as a ton Of wheat bran will
convince farmers that the crop Is
worth their attention. Unlike clover
It is not difficult to get catch Of al

trough so that they rest on the edges
of the trough when closed. Two hinges
on each side (strap hinges Of course)

so that when the racks are in place
they may be held so by turning the
hasp over to the other side over a
staple and holding 1t in place with a
bit Of wood. In this arrangement
either rack may be let down and the
trough thus filled from either side.
