LANDSCAPE ART.
Tho Work of LIE Notre, EurOpe's Most
Famous Gardener,

The Work of LIE Notre, Europe's Most
Famous Gardener,
Although lie Notre's life was long
and busy one, he could not POSSIBLY
have designed oil the gardens with
which his name is now associated, more
or less correctly. The list Is an as
founding one, ranging as 1t does from
Aranjuez and La Granja In Spain to
Wilhelmshohe and Oranienbourg In
Germany, from the villas Albani and
Pamphili In Rome to Hampton Court
and Kensington gardens In England.
But, directly or indirectly, he Is re-
sponsible for the spirit of all these de-
signs, as he created school OF out
door art, which, modified and adapted
to suit various conditions and CLIMATES,
spread over the civilized world and Is
the foundation Of all the landscape art
of today. 1t was he who first released
gardens from their medieval swad-
ding clothes, widened their narrow
borders, did away with their childish
decorations Of Enthusiastically clipped
trees and made them instead dignified
parts Of splendid whole. To some
people his gardens do not now seem at
tractive Oh account Of what Is called
their severity and GOODNESS, but we
must remember that they were entirely
appropriate to the places for which
they were designed and perfectly fitted
for their uses and are consequently ar
tistically misunderstanding Jones in
Scribner's.

The Cattle Situation in Virginia

|
The Importance of the live stock
industry in Virginia will be appre-
ciated when it is recognized that
the average value of an animal in
this state is $17.04; in Kentucky
1864; in Tennessee SLAB; IN
Alabama $7.70. With the large
and increasing herds of pure-bred
animals maintained Oh Virginia
farms there is no reason why this
state should not take and maintain
the lead in the production of pure
bred animals to supply the farms
and ranches lying to the south OF
us, where the condition of the live
stock business is very unsatisfac-
tory. The export cattle business
is also worthy Of exploitation. An
export type of calf in Virginia is
worth $500; the yearling $4,000
the two year old $4,000 and the ex-
port steer $1,000 to $4,000. In
North Carolina the corresponding
types are worth 1886, $3.50, $12.-
Al and 1854 See what an adj
vantage Virginia has, did we recog-
nize this as clearly as we should.
Are we making the most Ut our
natural advantages for the develop
of our live stock industries?
Live stock industry conseryes fer
tility. The rich lands of Tazewell,
Russell and other counties are well
known. In 1899 Tazewell spent
$1O.4OOOO for fertilizers, Pittsyl.
vania $189,890,00 and Norfolk
$388,S5O.9O. Live stock farming
certainly does conserve fertility.
and at the same time enables won-
derful economy in the matter OF
labor, two very important and
essential points for the considera-
ton of our farmers. This is not
hard to understand, for a thousand
pounds Of pork removes from the
land 1877 pounds of nitrogen,
1854 pounds Of phosphoric acid AID
1888 pounds Of potash. A thous
and pounds Of cotton seed meal re-
moves 62.9 pounds Of Nitrogen,
2S8 pounds of phosphoric acid and
81 pounds of potash. Further
more, there is profit in the pro-
duction of beef animals that is en-
ticing to say the least. According
to careful statistics contained from
many of the leading stockmen in
the state, the profit per head on
calves is from S5.75 to $3.50; on
yearlings $500; and on export
steers $1,000 to $16 So These fig
ures were made up in the most
painstaking manner. They do not
take into consideration the manure
! which is ore of the most valuable
adiuncis of live stock farming.
There are many stockmen who
claim that they can make fully III
ger cent on their investment, and
even if they only make 8 per cent
the fact that they can improve
their lands by laying them down
to grass and manage their farms
with a minimum expenditure for
labor makes their life almost an
ideal one. While the life stock
interests of the state have made
wonderful progress in the last few
years, and while Virginia is recog-
nized as one Of the leading beef
producing states in the south,
there are large areas of land which
can be more proftably utilized in
grass in the future than in any
other way. ANDREW M SoULE,

CACEREs TO BE PRESIDENT
Advices Received by the Dominican

dispatch from Santo Domingo under yes
terday's date confirming the preceding re-

Mr.. Joubert, the Dominican minister here,
caileds@upon Secretary Root at the State
Department today to talk over Dornini-
can affairs He had a short cableKram
from Senior Tejera, the minister for for
eign affairs announcing that Gen. Caceres
the vice president, who was at Puerta
Plata when Morales fed from the capital
was expected to arrive at Santo Domingo
CITY tomorrow and would be immediately
1nducted into the presidential office
MT. Joubert had nothing to indicate that
President Morales had been wounded nor
d1d ne think that the fighting reported to
nave taken place near Jaima Tuesday was
serious. He doubted very much whether
Morales intended to start another -revolu-
ton as he must himself realize the futil-
ity OF any attempt of that kind. 1t was
probable that Morales would wait for a
time to see what effect the upheayal in
Santo Domingo would have upon the rela-
tions between that country and the United
States. In the minister's opinion the modus
vivendi under which Dominican customs
revenues are now being collected by Amer
leans appointed by the Dominican presi-
dent for that purpose will not be af-
fected by Morales retirement, for the rea-
son that the dominant party in the cab
met still stands strongly committed to the
existing arrangement.

Charles E. Yerkes appeared somewhat
encouraged by the fact that his father had
survived the night. He said:

hope. He is by no means out of danger,
however. and we are still greatly wor-
