THE WINTER COURSE IN AGRI-
CULTURE.
A Cleveland County Student Tells OF
the Work and the Benefit and lnspi-
ration He Received.


will now try to tell you what | have
been doing. / was attending the
Winter Course at the North Carolina
A. s. M. College, about which L wish
to give you all few notes.
The question is often asked, viii
it pay to take course IN agrlcul-
tureP Every young man must de-
eide this for himself. The farmer,
like the man in any other industry,
cannot know too much about his bus
mess. The short course at the A. d
M. does not offer as thorough a
training as the two or four year
courses, but it is of great value. The
course consisted of both classroom
and laboratory work. In the class
room a theoretical study was made
of various subjects, such as the soil,
its formal ton, the different kinds of
soils; the kinds of food elements
that are necessary to produce plants;
the amounts of plant foods found in
the soil from various parts of the
State; the way in which the mechan-
ical and chemical condition of the
soil may be improved; the length of
time the soil will last under present
methods of continuous cropping
without rotation, and the returning
of plant food in the form of manure
or fertilizers.
The subject of farm crops and the
different systems of rotation were
thoroughly discussed. A complete
study was made of the different ce-
reals, grasses and legumes, and the
soil to which each was adapted. The
production of better seed, especially
corn, by selection, breeding and cul-
tivating was also dealt with.
Good instruction was also received
ON the subject of fruit and vegeta-
bic culture. Some of the things
touched on we're: How the farmer
may graft and grow his own fruit
trees; when, where and how to plant;
pruning, spraying, cultivating and
the harvesting, packing and shipping
of fruit. We learned both the bene-
fetal and injurious insects, and how
to deal with the injurious ones. Some
time was devoted to poultry raising,
instruction being given in the con-
struction of houses and yards, the
handling of chicks from Matching
time to maturity, the feeding chick
ems and turkeys at all ages, the pre-
vention of poultry diseases, and the
breeding of poultry.
Practical suggestions were given
as to the building and location of
farm buildings for convenience and
sanitation.
In the laboratory, experiments
were performed with the soils to de-
termine the power of different soils
to retain water and dissolve fertil-
izers; the rate of water rising by
capillary attraction; the effect of
mulches; the humus, and other ex-
periments of like nature. Other ex-
ercises were in the dairy, testing and
separation of milk, making of but
ter and cheese, and other things too
tedious to mention.
Two hours each week were also
given in the forge shop.
These are only a very few of the
things that may be had by taking
the winter course. think that
every man who is going to farm
should take course in an Agricul-
tural College, either a winter course
or two or four year course. I never
realized what value it was to me un-
til L got back home. Now / can look

HOW WEATHER PREDICTIONS
ARE MADE.
An Explanation of the Principles on
Which Forecasts are Based.

In the January Worlds Work there
is very clear description of the
methods and principles involved in
making the weather forecasts issued
daily by the United States govern
ment.
Not the least valuable assistance
the Government renders mariners
and farmers is furnished in It's
weather forecasts, four-fifths of
which turn out to be correct. In
deed the record of the weather bu-
reau for the past five years has been
that no serious storm has occurred
that has not been predicted suffi-
GENTLY long in advance for all peo-
pie whose interests are affected by
the weather, to take due precautions
Daily at eight o'clock in the morn
ing and at eight o'clock in the even
ing by Eastern time, observers at
more than two hundred stations in
the United States, Northern Mexico
Southern Canada. and the West In
dies telegraph to Matchmaking sta
tions observations on every detail of
the weather, such as temperature,
humidity, the kind and the direction
of clouds and so on. AT each of
these stations charts made from the
information in the reports are pre-
pared for free distribution over the
adjoining district. In many places
in the West the weather forecast is
telephone from central telephone sta
tions to all the farmers In the neigh
borhood.
The approximate accuracy of the
forecasts results from the fact that
the Government observers know how
the weather conditions move, Seven
tenths of our storms, for example,
begin in the Northwest, move south
east and then curve north again
over the Great Lakes and disappear
to the east down the St. Lawrence
Valley, though the West India hur-
ricanes move first west and then
northeast. The storms are located
by low barometric readings and by
the direction of the winds-which
whlrl about a storm m-centre in the. op-
posite diertcoin to that of moving
clock hands, sometimes spinning
around circle a thousand miles in
diameter. To the east of the storm
blow southerly moist winds which
bring rain. To the west of the storm
come winds from west or northwest
bringing colder weather. So by ex-
perience the weather observers, re-
ceiving reports of the conditions at
storm-centres, can predict from the
rapidity of the movement from west
to east how far storm will advance
In twelve or twentyfour hours and
what kind of weather will result in
every quarter of it. Predictions can
thus be made two or three days in
advance. And now the Government
is building on Mount Weather, Va.
an observatory for weather research.
Efforts will be made there to estab-
lish forecasts of whole seasons.

AMERICANS IN LEAD.
In the Work of the Interparliamentary
Congress at Brussels.

Brussels, Aug. 29.-The Interparlia
mentary congress today resumed the
discussion of the American proposition
for the establishment of a permanent
disappointment. Count Albert APP
ponyi, representing Austria Hungary,
spoke in support of the American plan,
but pointed out that the magnitude of
the scheme required mature considera-
ton.
Count Apponyi closed his remarks
by moving the reference of the propo-
sition to a committee with instructions
to report in three months. Messrs
Moon of Pennsylvania and Waldo and
Goldfogle Of New York strongly sup
ported the American project.
Philip Stanhope, member of parlia-
ment, approved the reference of the
proposition to a committee, saying Eu-
rope was not sufficiently advanced to
accept the American plan without con-
Sideration.
The French deputies also seconded
the motion to refer the proposition to
a committee.
Congressman Bartholdt of Missouri
received an ovation when he accepted
the reference of the proposition to a
committee, saying the Americans de-
sired the fullest investigation into the
merits of the American proposition.
Thereupon the matter was referred to
a committee of specialists from the
parliaments of the various nations.
Congressman Littlef1eld of Maine,
Burke of South Dakota and other con-
gressmen spent the day on the battle
field. of Waterloo

MAY IMPOSE FORFEIT.
Council May Withhold $40 Day Due
From Marsh Bridge Company.

1t maybe that the city council will
insist on collecting the forfeiture from

No official action has been taken.
and none will be taken until the city
engineer submits his final report to the
committee. The report will be filed
sometime this week, probably Friday
and then it will be up to the council
to decide about the forfeiture.
Councilman Swendson, chairman of
the streets and walks committee, said
this morning: Several opinions We're
given by the councilmen who inspected
the bridge yesterday. AS I see it, IN
less the bridge company can give some
better excuse than they have already
given, 1 can see no reason why the
forfeiture should not be paid, mas
much as we gave them the contract at
figure higher than other bids for no
other reason than that they signed an
agreement to finish the work at the
earliest possible date, and agreed to
July l as that date. The city needed
the use of the structure and paid tn EN-
more to hurry the work. They failed
to keep their part of that agreement y

WALKED INTO RIVER.
From a Bridge and Sank to Rise No
More.

Chicago, Aug 2e.-In sight of hun
dreds of passengers crowded about the
rail of the steamer Eastland, a woman
walked from the partly swung bridge
into the river at Wells street last night
as The bridge moved back into place.
after the passing of the excursion boat.
The efforts of dozen willing life savers
who leaped from boats and docks to the
river were futile as the victim failed to
rise to the surface after the fall.
The playing of the excursion boat
searchlight about the spot and the
shrieks of the calliope whistle caused
much excitement on the boat and among
passengers in the Northwestern railway
depot. Scores of suburbanites missed
trains while they fingered about the
docks and aided n the search.
Descriptions of the woman given by
the scores of witnesses who saw her
walk from the bridge differ materially,
but the police believe she was about
forty years old and of matronly figure
and aspect.

driving out this Iawless horde from
under the shadow of the state house.
1t is a disgrace to the fair name of our
state that right under the shadow of
the dome of the state house there are
q hundred institutions openly and
flagrantly trampling the constitution of
the state under foot, with no effort
made by the proper officials to check
it. 1t is well for every law abiding
citizen to ask himself the question,
.'Whither drifting ?"
1t is claimed that the law is so open
ly violated that free lunch is served in
some of the places where liquor is sold
taken the place of the old pine boards.
Those who desire that the law shall be
enforced are largely in the majority N
the city and the question might we'll
be asked why are things in such de-
plorable condition. The fact exists
that a few men are manipulating the
political affairs of the city and county
They are INSCRIPTIONS in their manip-
ulations and will stoop to anything to
carry their point. The law-abiding
people stay at home and permit the
manipulatorS to have their own way
they get up and howl about the Situa-
and then when things run wide open
ton. The time to howl is when there
is a chance for doing something, and
that is during the campaign. When
will the Christian and moral people of
this county realize that the only way
to permanently close these institutions
is to crystalize the law-abiding senti-
ment of the city and community and
elect men to office who will not per-
jure themselves in order to protect the
business of lawless men. May God
their eyes opened to the true situa-
ton
