Program of the Teachers Assembly.

The program committee delegated
with the task of securing a program
for the North Carolina Teachers As
sembly, to be held at Greensboro,
June 18th and 18th, announce that
an unprecedented array of talent
will be presented. There is definite
assurance that Walter III. Page, and

Patty S. Hill, of Louisville, Ky;
Miss Adele Marie Shaw, of Brook

State Superintendent of Maine, and
Prof. L. Ell. Bailey, of Cornell Uni

to these there is much local talent
from various portions of North Car
olina. From every section there is
evidence that the teachers of North
Carolina are interested in this as

Sanford Express: The Whining
ton Messenger makes the point that
while there is great deal of illicit
distilling going on in North Caro-
lima, yet we never hear of a State Of
hcer making a raid for blockade
stills. This work is all left to the
Federal officers, yet illicit distilling
outside of Incorporated towns is
violation of State law. There has
al; wys been more or less blockading
carried on in this section, but we
have never known any of our State
officers to cut up a still. They are
probably afraid that they would lose
votes by it if they were to stand for
reelection.

Day of the Gambler Gone.

The North Carolina gentry who
flip the pasteboards for the long
green there is in it are being hailed
into court to explain why they are
like Mohammed's coffin, suspended
between heaven and earth without
any visible means of support" The
time has apparently passed when
people may live on suspicion without
any witnesses to prove an alibi in
the Old North State. There is no
abiding place for gamblers in the
cities of North Carolina, and those
who follow this pursuit are being
convinced of the fact through SEN
tences on chain-gangs imposed by
the courts-Charlotte Chronicle.

The New Pension Law.

The pension law for Confederate
soldiers, sailors and widows was
amended by the Legislature by in
creasing the annual appropriation
from 100000 to $275,OOO. The
classes and amounts to each are now
as follows:
1. To such as have received a
wound that renders them totally in
competent to perform manual labor
in the ordinary vocations of life,
500.
2. To such as have lost leg above
the knee or an arm above the elbow,
$45.
3. To such as have lost a foot or
a leg below the knee, or a hand or
arm below the elbow, or have a leg
or arm utterly useless, $35.
4. To such as have lost an eye, and
the widows and all other soldiers who
are now three-fourths disabled from
any cause, 500.
Moreover, the county boards of
pensions are empowered to place
upon the pension roll any Confed-
crate veteran or widow disqualified
by the $500 property clause. who may
appear to be unable to earn a living
from property valued as much as
$500 or more.

that eighty-fve new buildings have

Charity and Children: We are
glad to see that Governor Glenn has
consented to address some colored
schools this summer. From some
things we heard when he was seeking
the nomination we were led to infer
that the Governor hardly thought a
negro ought to have any education;
but this is now, and that was then,
as Col Webster says.
Statesville Landmark: Governor
Glenn says he will make public all
matters in regard to executive elem
ency. The Governor is to be COM
mended for this resolution, and it is
hoped he will adhere to it. His prede-
cessors for the past ten Or twelve
years have refused to make public all
cases of pardons and combinations.
We have always thought the people
had a right to know these things.
Statesville Landmark: Recently
reference was made to the wholesale
slaughter of robins, and the Land
mark stated that so far as it was
informed there was no legal protec-

then it is learned that the last Legis-
lature amended the Audubon law by
making it illegal to kill any kind of
game between the hours of sundown
and sunrise. This is designed to put
an end to the ruthless slaughter of
robins at their roosts.

The Milk Pail.

1t is probable that the wooden pail
is used in comparatively few dairies
and on few farms where dairying is
made much of. The wooden pail is
impossible to keep clean. Ordinary
dirt can be washed out of it and kept
out, and If it comes again can be again
removed But with the ferments that
develop in milk it is different 1t would
take more scalding and rinsing and
drying to keep the pail clean than
most pals get. The metal pail is by
far the most serviceable and the most
sanitary If the creases are filled with
solder the pail will be the easier kept
clean. The old rusty milk pail cannot
be too quickly discarded. 1t is i'm
possible to keep a rusty milk pail
clean.

bulletin of the Connecticut Expert
ment Station says:
During the five years covered by
these records, the variety and amounts
of food and the care of the herd have
been much the same The increase in
the net profits from 81 % loss in 1899 to
$2l,64 profit in 1903 must be attributed
to the selection of animals better
suited to dairy purposes The average
cost of animals added to the herd
since 1899 is $42.50 What change in
the system of feeding or caring for
the herd would have resulted in as
large an increase in net profit? There
is no reason why the results secured
from this herd cannot be secured by
the average farmer"
We think the above is well worth be
ing considered by our readers There
are many herds of dairy cows that are
in the same condition as was the sta
ton herd referred to before improve
ment in the quality of COWS began. 1t
lost money for the owner and that is
true of many herd of COWS on our
farms. There is this difference, thar
at the station it was known just how
much money the COWS were losing.
A good many people say that the
breed is in the feed, but when a system
of feeding is about perfect the work
of selection must begin. Tie select
ing of good cows for the dairy herds
would soon bring up the prices Of good
cows and bring down the prices OF
poor cows. This would result in send
ing to market the poor COWS and keep
ing the good ones on the farms. AS II
is now the farmer and the butcher dis
eliminate but little between the good
COW and the poor COW. Good cows go
to the butcher indiscriminately, and
good cows and poor cows are kept on
the farm Unfortunately
Feeding is science worthy Of be-
ing studied, but it can never take the
place of selection and breeding. The
breeder has large part to play yet in
the improving of our dairy herds, and
the selector also has a large role to
play. If an experiment station can
make the improvement in its herd 1t
did in four years, certainly every farm
er can afford to take up the matter of
selection at once. The price paid per
cow as noted was a little over $42, but
it must be remembered that the cows
displaced brought something.

Salt for Butter.

1t used to be thought that any salt
was good enough for butter so long
as it would dissolve in a reasonable
time. 1t was only little by little that
men found out differently. Not till
people began to get particular about
the flavor in their butter did the spe-
cial butter salt appear on the market.
The old salt had been the cause of
much butter being rejected. One gro
Ger kept his salt near a pile of dried
fish. AS the salt was in bags and the
fish in piles the very decided smell
from the fish permeated the salt.
Every farmer that used that salt and
sold his butter had complaints about
the fishy smell in his butter. At last
some bright fellow traced the fish
smell to the pile of dried fish alongside
of the pile of salt bags. Another com
smelling like kerosene and traced the
trouble to the salt, which was in an
open bin alongside of several kerosene
barrels. Now the handlers of salt for
dairy purposes are on the lookout for
just such combinations In the gro
ceries and warn their patrons that the
salt must be kept sealed from outside
smell We doubt not that much of the
complaint with farm butter comes in
directly from the salt, which has been
stored in all kinds of places in the
farm house and has taken in some of
the numerous smells that belong to
farm vegetables.

Why More Women Do Not Engage
as Nursery Governesses.

as Nursery GoverneSSes.
Martha S. Bensley in Everybodys
Magazine in series of articles re-
lates her experiences as a nursery
governess. She says, speaking of the
first family with whom she lived:
Their chauffeur was paid 500 a
month, and he had only tne care OF
machine; their governess was paid
$32, her board and half room, and
had entire charge of their three lit
tie girls, body, mind and soul. The
one was trained mechanic; the
other position required more qualifi.
cations than |, college woman and
a teacher of considerable experience,
could boast.
MY work began at 7 O'Clock, the
time | called Laura and lasted till
about 8 in the evening. During this
time there was not moment of rest,
not even respite at meals. In spite
of the pleasant things connected with
the situation, no woman of sufficient
ability to discharge its duties would
undertake the work (unless from mo.
tives of pure philanthropy, except
for larger salary than she could get
in another occupation"

No Worry About Feed.

There is one good thing about the
dairy business-if money has to be
spent for additional feed it is never a
long investment. Returns are OBJ
tanned at the end of the month. Any
feed dealer will carry farmers ac-
count for a month and when the milk
or cream check comes he can pay his
feed bill. No farmer can, therefore,
consistently argue that he has not the
necessary money to feed heavily on
grain or even silage
