and climate. Of course for moving lands the
cowpea and alfalfa, oats and vetch, and the clovers
ali make excellent hay crops. Perhaps this group
includes the more important crops for this pur-
pose. It hardly ever pays to pasture meadows
or pastures except lightly the first season, and
then only when the soil is dry. It is also POOR
policy to pasture any kind of grass land early in
the spring when the soil is wet. The %tramping of
animals brushes and destroys the crowns of the
plants. After the first year the sward becomes
thicker and tougher, and the injury is slight.
These are simply suggesting as to the way of
improving and building up the pasture land for
your farm. The varieties suggested here are
just a few of the good ones that might be used.
Still those that have been suggested can be en-
ployed for building a pasture in almost any part
of this section of the country.
1t ordinarily is advisable to use some COM
mercial fertilizers in the production of hay and
pasture. I think we can use chemicals to good
advantage, if not to the very best advantage on
the hay and meadow crops. We have too often
used all of the chemicals on our corn and cotton
and let the grasses take care of themselves.
Should we fertilize the grass area as we'll and
abundantly, then we should not only get much
forage as a result, but we would leave the soil in
an admirable condition for corn and cotton when
they come after it. Of course it is to be under
stood that no better fertilizer can be applied to
grass than stable manure, and where this is not
available, then we can go back to the commercial
fertilizers and obtain good results from it's use.
@. W. BURKETT.
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-11-15

The healthfulness of farming is not the least
attractive. feature of the work, and we are very
glad indeed that we have a healthy lot of read
ers. Still we might make a little more money
if our friends we're not quite so free from the
ills that flesh is heir to-. For example, a medical
firm which had proposed giving us an ad. finally
wrote us last week as follows: "Yours would be a
good paper to advertise farm implements in, but
these farmers seldom have blood trouble, and the
only thing they have in our line is rheumatism
sometimes. We couldn't afford therefore to pay
you your full rate"

Toilette who refused to do the bidding of the Re
publican and railroad bosses in Wisconsin-to
enlarge now upon their achievements. But in
the election of each of these men a great moral
victory has been won, and the influence upon our
political life cannot fail to be beneficial.

welt.
In the United States Senate a number of
changes will be made as a result of last Tuesdays
election. Most notable perhaps is the retirement
of Senator Cockrell, the old Democratic war horse
of Missouri, who has represented his State in the
Upper House for about thirty years, and is es-
teemed by men of all parties. Missouri had all
along been conceded to the Democrats, and the
defeat of Parker and the election of a Republican
Legislature (Mr Cockrell's term expiring next
March), was a great surprise to the prophets.
Reports from Delaware indicate that some of
his own followers have sickened of the boodler
Addicks, the unspeakable, and again he will miss
the Senate. Chauncey Depew may not be re-
elected from New York; Governor Odell is spok-
lively contest among the leaders who wish to sue
ceed Senator Fairbanks who becomes Vice-Presi-
dent next March. The Republican victory in
Nebraska puts an end to the talk of Bryan for
the Senate from that State.

EDUCATING FOR FARM WORK.

One sometimes hears the charge that students
in agricultural colleges do not go back to the
farm; that they are allured by city life and
drift into city occupations.
The only trouble with this argument against
agricultural education is that it isn't true.
Right here at the North Carolina A. & M.
College near Raleigh is found convincing proof
of it's falsity. Within the last four years nearly
300 boys have been enrolled in the agricultural
courses of the College, and of this number all
but five are engaged in actual farm work, teach
ing agriculture, engaged in experimental work,
or are still students. Remember this the next
time you hear that agricultural colleges are
training away from farm work.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

A friend is a person with whom I may be sin
cere. Before him, I may think aloud, I am ar
rived at last in the presence of a man so real
and equal, that I may drop even those under
most garments of assimilation, courtesy, and
second thought, which men never put off, and
may deal with him with the simplicity and whole
ness, with which one chemical atom meets an
~other.-From Emerson's Essay on Friendship"
So long as we love we serve; so long as we
are loved by others I would almost say that we
are Indispensable; and no man is useless while he
has a friend.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Mr.. John Ferguson, Pickens, >. u, writes US

Roosevelt's Ambition Satisfied.

The result of the election Nationally surprised
but few, though the size of Roosevelts majority
was certainly astounding. The Republican man
ayers in their boldest moments claimed only 314
electoral votes, while the figure will be 336 at the
very least. The election resulting therefore as
the public had expected, the only real sensation
of election night was Roosevelt's declaration that
he would not be a candidate for reelection. On
the 4th of March next" he said, 81 shall have
served three and a half years, and these three and
a half constitute my first term. The wise Gus
tom which limits the President to two terms re-
CARDS the substance, and not the form, and under
no circumstance will l be a candidate for or ac-
cert another nomination" This announcement
will be read with qualification by thoughtful citi-
zens everywhere-not only because it adds force
to our wise unwritten law against a third term
for the President, but because it will enable Mr..
Roosevelt to act solely with a view to serving
the people and making an honorable record in
American history. He ought to make a better
President now. 1t was because of his published
doctrines, because of the vigor with which he has
condemned corruption in office, and machine
methods and low civic ideals, that the independent
voters rallied to his support last week. Yet 1t
must be admitted that to win political strength
he has of late made some humiliating compro-
mises-his alliance with Addicks of Delaware,
and his appointment of Postmaster-General Payne
being cases in point. But now with an endorse
ment such as no other President has had within
our time. and with no further ambition to crafty,
he should be able to live closer to the high prln-
ciples set forth in his american Ideals" And
let us hope that he will also remember that ne Is
the son of a Southern mother, and that he will
come to a closer understanding of the South and
it's people.

All records for high water were

From Marietta to below Safe Har-
Dor thousands of dollars of damage
was done. The. big power plant al
York Haven was destroyed. So power
ful was the ice-crested flood that was
forced by gorges into tributaries that
a stone bridge over the Conestoga al
Safe Harbor was destroyed.
The waters receded at Harrisbure
and nearby owing to the break in
gorges below.

THE STORY OF CHRIST"
Last Rehearsal Was Held in West
Church Last NIGHT.


The final rehearsal for the oratorio,
"The Story Of Christ" was held in
West Presbyterian Church last night.
The choruses We're all well rendered
and showed that the singers were con-
versant with the score and would be
capable of pleasing work at the rendi-
tion on Thursday evening.
All the soloists were present and for
the first time the oratorio was rendered
complete.
The raised platform is in position and
was used last evening. It is capable
of seating about ninety people, and the
large chorus taxes its full capacity.
The many friends of Mr.. James V,
Hnrbert will be pleased to know that
he will be able to sing the tenor score
as he has recovered sufficiently from a
severe cold to attempt the work. Mr.
Howard Carver. the well-known tenor
is an understudy for Mr.. Harbert, ana
should he not be able at the last mo-
ment to take the part, Mr.. Carver viii

Wilmington audiences and is a pleas
ing singer.
The performance will start promptly
at o'clock and the audience are re.
quested to he in their seats before thai
