DIR. w. L. POTEAT NEW PRESI-
DENT OF WAKE FOREST
COLLEGE.
Trustees Accept Resignation Of DR..
Charles E. Taylor, Who Assumes
Duties of Financial Secretary.

The Board of Trustees of Wake
Forest College last Thursday evening
elected DIR. w. L. Poteat, president
of that college to succeed DIR. Charles
E. Taylor, who's resignation was ten
dered and accepted and who was cho-
sen as permanent financial secretary
in which capacity his relationship
with the college will, if possible, be
strengthened. There were present at
the meeting 81 members OF the
board, and with the exception of a
short while for supper the session
lasted from 4.30 o'clock in the after
noon until midnight. Rev. DIR. W. @.
Tyree presided. DR.. Poteat IS aboard
ship on the high seas bound for Lon
don, where he will attend the sittings
of the Baptist Worlds Congress, and
will be notified of his election on his
arrival at Gibraltar. Simultaneous
with the meeting held here the trus-
tees of Mercer University. in Geor-
gia, were in session awaiting the ac-
ton of Wake Forest, with a view to
calling DIR. Poteat to the presidency
of that institution.
While it was not generally
known that the resignation of DIR.
Taylor was in contemplation the
matter was presented to the presi-
dent, and to the secretary Mr.. Carev
J. Hunter some time ago. The meet
ing was held in the First Baptist
church.
DR.. Taylor's resignation was
brought about by reason of his health,
which has been the occasion of con-
templated change for about three
years, but the demands of the college
were insistent and he had continued
his work with his wonted earnestness.
A committee, consisting of Rev. r.
T. Vann, Rev. j. w. Lynch and Mr..
j. @. SCARBOROUGH, was appointed to
present resolutions suiting the occa-
sion of DIR. Taylor's severance from
the college, and expressive of the
feeling and appreciation of the
board. When DR.. Poteat's name was
announced by DR.. Vann there was
no other candidate offered, and there
was unanimity of action in the cleo
tion.
Work of DIR. Taylor.
DR.. Taylor. who is nearly 63 years
old, has long been in religious edu-
cational work. He is a Virginian by
birth, and comes from a long line of
able Baptist divines. Two of his
brothers are engaged in the ministry
one of whom, Rev. James B. Taylor,
breaches in Suffolk, Va, while the
other, Rev. George Taylor is accom-
plishing much as a missionary in
Rome, Italy. DR.. Taylor was a stu
dent at the college in Richmond, Va,
where he spent his younger days, and
later attended the University of Vir-
ginia, and was there graduated with
the M. A. degree. In the period of
strife that marked the war between
the States. he saw active service IN
der General Jackson, and was valor-
Gus and showed the fealty that has
ever since maturity characterized his
Christian life. He married a daugh-
ter of the late Rev. John L. Pritch-
ard, of Wilmington, in this State.
Wake Forest College called DR..
Taylor to the chair of ancient Ian
guages in 1870, and in 1884 he was
elected to the presidency, when the
total enrolment numbered $50 stu
dents. This year there were 313 stu

GROWTH OF YOUNG ANIMAL
Time to Get the Best Results Is Dur
ing the First Year-The Buy
ing Of Feeders.

There is no time when weight may
be added to animals so cheaply as
when they are young Experiments
have shown that lamb may average
a gain of a pound in weight for each
six pounds of milk which it takes. In
this case, each pound of solids In the
food would produce more than
pound of gain in the young animals.
With older animals six to ten pounds
of solids would be required for each
pound of gain. The same is true OF
calves. Hence the Importance of the
farmer having the benefit of the
growth of the animal during the earli-
est period of it's life. Buying feeders
at one or two years of age. one loses
the profit of this early, rapid and eco
nomical growth, and takes the risk
of their growth having been arrested
by periods Of privation. However, 1t is
better to buy feeders than not to feed;
and under the conditions obtaining
on many farms, 1t will be more profit
able to buy feeders than to raise them.
But, says the Country Gentleman, there
are many farms in the east which are
to be made into beef and mutton
would be to the advantage Of the farm
er. This conclusion is emphasized by
the high prices which are now being
paid for feeding lambs.
The Bottineau courant., 1905-12-15
THE LIVE STOCK.

Every man who Owns hilly farm
should find profit in sheep.
Use more lamb and mutton on the
home table. 1t is q most economical
and healthful meat food.
Do not confound nervousness and
sensitiveness with bad temper.
The highest strung. most sensitive
horse ever owned was absolutely safe
In tight spot.
In matching up the plow horses for
spring plowing and other work, it'a
sensible to regard size, strength and
gait.
Never discourage young horse by
asking him to pull load too heavy
for him. Then, too, there is danger OF
spelling the horse by overdrawing.
Rub the legs well and bed with clean,
dry straw If horses are bedded with
damp or wet straw you will quite like
~ have cases Of rheumatism and
scratches.
Corn-stalks are wasteful for sheep,
as they only eat the leaves from the
stalks. The leaves are very good for
them, however, and the best thing
possible for young lambs. arm

THE HORSE FOR SALE.
Care as to the Finishing Touches on
the Animal Greatly Increases
the Returns.

Farmers in general give little atten-
tion to the matter OF condition In
horses which they expect to sell. In
vestigation along this line has shown
that every 100 pounds of additional
weight in the case Of a heavy draft
horse is worth from 20 to so cents
more per 100 pounds. In the first place,
the farmer is in position to feed as
cheaply as any professional feeder, for
not feed so as to produce fat. To sell
we'll on the marke, horses must be
fat, sleek and we'll groomed. At the
season when the grass is plentiful and
conditions favorable for fattening
horses it is very easy matter to put
on many pounds very cheaply. After
horses once become fat on grass, or q
little additional feed it is very
small matter to put them in a box
tall and harden them up in prepara-
tion fol the sale day. The buyers de-
mand fat. If one tas time to give
proper exercise and light work he can
add something to the value of the
horse as he will be ready to go right
into the heavy work of the city buy
er. A little additional grooming to-
gethar with blanketing for month,
will also add much 10 the selling price
of horses No matter what market we
go into, the fine appearing, we'll
groo,ned, energetic, fat horse is pre-
ferred by the buyer. who is ready to
pay for these particular qualities.
Farmers cannot afford, emphasizes the
'armer, to breed and develop
a f1rst-class animal and then lose q
large per cent of profit by neglecting
the finishing touches
