a,s.E yArHE or ROUGHAGE.

A friend asks what is the value OF
the feed other than grain which goes
10 the making of a hundredweight Of
meat on our western f;sms. the pas
ture, the hay. the fodder, the general
roughage picked up by the animal
while ii a growing cSldition-in 9th
er words, what are the byproducts OF
the farm really worth: This is not an
easy question 10 answer. SO much de-
pends upon the animal and the man
ner in which il is cared for. Right here
we viii say that thv grass products of
the farm which term shall here be
used to incluae pasture, hay. forage OF
all kinds. such MS stalks. rape. clover,
alfalfa, straw. etc. are not utilized to
the extent they should be in the pro-
duetion OF our MEETS, They are the
cheapest foods plaa cea Oh the farm
and under better Weihods of utilizing
them by the sila. simmer soiiing and
alternating ;lRl successive crops Of
green food are capable of greatly low
eriug The FIRST cost Of all meat and
dairy products. Too much of the things
sold from the farms are made from the
high priced grains The first hundred
pounds of every hog sold should be
wholly Il grass a clover, blue grass, al
falfa or rape product, and half OF the
next hundred pounds should be also. in
stead of which we lind it a general Gus
tome to stuff the pig with corn from the
time he is two months old until lie is
ready for the butcher, when the other
method would insure 4 healthier hog
and make cheaper and better meat As
things 20 on the stock farms today it
is not far wrong to assume, for that is
all that can be done anyway, that the
grass products of the farm should be
credited with about one-haH of the
value of all meat produced.

Perhaps you are to have roast duck
for Christmas instead of the regulation
turkey dinner: In that case omit sage
from the filing if you are wise, using
simply Il farcemeat Of breadcrumbs
seasoned with salt, pepper. onion juice
and minced parsley. Fill the bird after
rinsing and wiping it well inside and
out. DO not moisten the filing and
pack it rather closely. Dredge the bird
with salted flour. pour a cupful Of
boiling wafer over it and roast IN q
fairly brisk oven. allowing about tif-
teen minutes to the pound. Baste With
the gravy and. when nearly done, with
butter. Then dredge some flour over
the duck ana put it in to brown. Serve
with currant jelly if you will.

One of the popular fruits for the
Christmas holidays as well as for al
most any other occasion is the grape
fruit. If possible get one that is grown
in Florida, see that the skin is smooth
ana the fruit heavy and solid and also
that the size is large. Cut it in half,
scoop out good part of the juice and
fill up the vacancy with champagne if
you have it. or, if not, use sherry,
brandy, fruit salads, branded cherries
or cordial. ana there is something that
will revive the spirits of anybody not
on the verge Of the grave

A LOST INDEPENDENCE.

the tendency of the times is toward
concentration of effort and the division
and specializing of all forms of labor.
More people are learning how to do
one thing only than ever before.
The system applies not only to the
city but the farms as well The meat
supplies for the farm are shipped to
the city packing house on the hoof and
bought back OF the local dealer by the
man who produced the meat for his
own use this because be has never
learned how to kill and cure his own
meats This is always a losing game.
The butter is now all made at the
creamery which is good thing. espe-
cially for the women on the farm All
the clothing for the men and boys and
to quite an extent for the women is
bought ready made Soap making is
a lost art. and the pickles, preserves
and table delicacies which in times
past We're the pride of the housekeep-
er have been largely supplanted by
store goods of doubtful quality If Il
harness needs repair and machine
needs fixing, straight they go to the
harness maker and the machine shop
Not one man i'll ten could fix them at
home We think that in this changed
condition has come a distinct loss, man

The Farmers Institutes held throughout
the agricultural sections OF the State during
the Fall and Winter months, at the ex-
pense of the State Treasury, are no doubt of
great value to the farmers in attaining the
best results of their labor But it occurred
to the Editor of the DEMOCRAT during the
sessions Of the institute at Clayton last
Saturday, that the speakers, or more
properly, the instructors, would be more
effective, if copies of their addresses were
furnished the audience at the close Of each
address for study and consideration in the
quiet Of the home. To be sure, the expert
ment stations of the various States will
furnish bulletins, on request, but we have
no doubt infinitely more benefit would
accrue to our farmers if these talks on
various topics, in addition to being pre-
sented verbally, were given out in printed
form.

At Clayton. saturday, Nov. II.

The first feature Of the first Farmers In
stitute at Clayton that impressed the repre-
sentative OF the GLOUCESTER COUNTY DRM-
oCRAT was the display of agricultural pro-
ducts and the floral display. The stage
was banked with great shocks of corn from
which great, yellow ears protruded; these
were interspersed with sheayes OF rye. Along
the front of the stage, Florist Blackenburg,
of Clayton, bad banks of beautiful chrys-
anthenums, while on large table, in front
of the stage. was numerous handsome pro-
ducts of soil, tree and vine. The greatest va
riety of these was displayed by Messrs l. B.
Pancoast, John Rspp, H D. Newkirk,
and n. D. Skinner, the former showing
corn in stalk, on ear shelled and the refined
meal, purple turnips, 5 of which filled a
basket, seven varieties of hybTed potatoes,
sugar and pop corn. Mr.. Repp's display
consisted of varieties of apples Mr.
Newkirk's display included four varieties
of potatoes, apples aud corn. Mr. Skinners
display included sweet potatoes, Keiffer
pears. three varieties OF apples, while Mrs
Skinner exhibited a quantity of canned fruit,
Henry Patrick displayed some Mommoth
cabbage, @. A. Davis Keiffer. pears, and DR..
Hnsted some wonderfully long ears of corn.
VIM Locke showed coop Of buff Plmouth
Rock chickens.
1t was 80 when the session opened
with singing by the choir THE Farmer
Feeds Them All.
The sentiment Of this song was taken by
Mr.. Dye as the theme of his opening ad-
dress, and it was very impressively applied.
Continuing, Mr. Dye said he wanted TO cor
rect an impression that had gotten abroad
that these meetings were for Grangers only.
He said they were held under the auspices
Of the State Board Of Agriculture, and were
for all farmers and all sects.
ssThe care of orchards, including pruning,

who overcome in it in increased prices, be
cause it is here to stay, and only those who

who wait for If to disappear will have no
orchards As to how to treat it, he said oil
was effective but must be used with care.
He has had best success with lime, sulphur
and salt, which is also good for apple scab,
peach curl and leaf lice. Trees must
be sprayed thoroughly, if one-ninth the
tree be missed, that is enough to pro
pagate, you must cover the entire tree
Mr. yanalstyne gave the proportions for
making this mixture, but advised thost

That's All"

Several Of the men who had hand in
the activities of the campaign just over, are
away from home recuperating from the
fatigue and worry Of the battle.
tsIt must be a pleasant condition of life
when a man can pack his grip and run away
from work when he feels like it. This is
not the happy lot Of the newspaper man
who during the fight, worked menta y
and physically until his energy was well
nigh exhausted.
ssNo man outside the profession can IN
derstand the terrific strain on the nerves Of
the newspaper worker during such con-
test as that just ended.
ssHis interests are those of the men fol-
whose election he is working. His thoughts
are with the candidates night and day.
The demand upon his mental and physical
resources is more than trebled. He feels
sometimes. as if it were necessary for him
to quit work, but he can't.
.sAnd when it is all over and the men for
whom be fought and sweated, talked and
wrote and wrestled, jump on train and GO
to the springs or the hills for recuperation
he must draw in his breath, grit his teeth
and settle his nose little closer to the
grindstone.

GOOD SPIRITS.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken
lucky. Their main source is the liver
and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy bad
liver or the hundred-and-one ill effects it
produces. You can't have good spirits
and bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if YOU
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. You can put
your liver in fine condition by using
Green's August Flower-the greatest of
all medicines for the liver and stomach
and certain cure for dyspepsia or in
