The simple explanation Of the steady

that the proof of its right to prevail is
absolutely convincing wherever it is
practically presented. There is moth

which man thinks it worth while to
listen who has once driven loaded We
hicle over a road converted within his
observation from bad to q good con-
dition. For him the demonstration is
complete, and he forthwith becomes an
apostle. Such is the universal and IN
broken experience. 1t is a remarkable
fact that the movement has never re-

Sowing Alfalfa.

Alfalfa may be sown either fan or
spring. 1t is useless to SOW alfalfa
unless the land has been Thoroughly
prepared. 1t will take year at least
to get land ready for alfalfa. Simply
scratching over the surface OF the
ground and sowing seed, even when in
oculation is followed, is not likely to
bring satisfactory results. If the land
is at all heavy in nature it should be
deeply broken to the depth OF twelve
inches and then subsoiled. SubsoilinG
is best done in the fall. In order that
the land may contain an available sup
ply Of plant food, it is we'll to grow
peas on the land and plow them under
in the fall. A heavy application OF
phosphoric acid and muriate of potash
should be made to the pea crop. and
lime may be applied after the peas are
plowed under, say at the rate Of fifty
bushels per acre. The lime should be
applied two or three weeks before
the alfalfa is sown so as to avoid an
injury to the seed. Use the caustic
lime, placing in heaps in the field and
covering lightly with earth. When
thoroughly slaked, scatter over the
ground uniformly and work in with a
harrow. Seed the alfalfa at the rate OF
twenty pounds per acre and not later
than the first of September. The al
falfa should be inoculated before plant
ing. The station is in position to FUR
nish you with the inoculatinS material.
It is not we'll to plant alfalfa OH too
large scale, for it is a difficult crop
70 establish, and it will be better TO
20 slowly and thoroughly understand
its peculiarities before attempting to
cultivate it extenSiyely.-Journal anc

Minor Moralities. Heb. IS: 1-21.
t We would not tell lies to ourselves
and we shall not lie to one another
II we. love our brothers as ourselves.
. The main purpose Of true industry
Is not and cannot be selfish; it is
that we may be able to minister.
It Is not enough not to talk foul
ness-what pulls down; we must talk
to ediflcation-what builds up.
One of the sweetest of all charac-
teristics is simple kindness. 1t does
more good in the world than the more
splendid virtue of heroism.
Suggestions.
There are no minor moralities.
Every one Of them runs into major
morality. And there are no major
moralities, for each may be over
shadowed at times by a minor moral
ity.
Cleanliness Is minor morality
when it concerns the finger nails, but
not when it concerns the heart; and
sometimes the condition Of the finger
nails has something to do with the
condition Of the heart.
Hospitality is a minor morality,
but not when we are opening the
door to Christ or to any one Of
Christ's children whom He tells us to
receive.
Promptness is a minor morality,
but not when 1t concerns the ac-
ceptance of Christ and the. now"
which Is the day Of salvation.

Any flaw in character may mean
ruin, Just as any least hole in a dyke
may let in the ocean.
A father is never satisfied to have
his sons in any way inferior to him
self; and so we are to be perfect, as
our Father in heaven is perfect.

Questions.
Am I neglecting any Of the graces
of character?
Do l constantly hold up before my

Is there any one point in which I
can note improvement in myself?

Then the changes of personality mani

states, but lost in others. While In

The Connolsseur of To-Day,

The connoisseur Of to-day does not

drink in the charm of the beautiful

diligent comparison Of directories and

ness what works are in fashion. what

The antique chair you could get for

DI the NOrtn CarOillia ueo-
9fo~ logical Survey as to the
public roaGs' conditions in the State:
All hut two or three of the counties
in North Carolina are still working the
public roads under what is known as
the "Old State Law" which requires
all male citizens between the ages OF
eighteen and forty-tive years to work
the public roads on an average of six
days during each year, or pay an
amount of money sufficient to provide
substitute for doing this work. For
ty-five. of these counties. in addition to
having this "Old State Law have a
provision for special road tax, which
is on an average for State sixteen and
one-half cents on the 500 property
valuation and fifty-two cents on the
poll.
The total amount Of money spent on
the public roads during the past year
was S401,3S2. including the money
spent for permanent roads. repairing.
grading ard all other purposes. This
1mount seems surprisingly large when
We consider the wretched condition OF
some Of the roads in the State. How
ever, one county alone Mecklenburg,
spent more than $4,000, and Guilford
County recently authorized an issue OF
$500. 0.OG0 in bonds for road building and
is spending several thousands OF it
each year.
Thirty-siX counties in the State are
using convicts in working the public
roads, and the total average Of convicts
thus employed during the year was SO.
However. in no more than q dozen
counties Of the State is this convict
work on the public roads done econom-
ically and satisfactorily. The best sys-
tenn probably exists in Mecklenburg
County, where about 100 convictS, i'll
two separate camps, are worked con-
stantly on the public roads. The aver
age cost there Of feeding. clothing and
guarding the conyicts and providing
sleeping quarters. medical attention
and all other neceSSarieS. averages
twenty-three cents per day per convict.
These valuable results are obtained
through intelligent management and
buSineSs-like methods.
So far as we are able to determine
the good roads question in North Caro-
lima is more alive than ever before. and
the Geological Survey is constantly re-
cciving requests from all sections OF
the State for advice and practical as
sistance in public road improvement.
Our good roads engineer, Mr.. W. L.
Spoon. spends the greater part Of his
time in visiting the different counties
of the State to assist the county au-
thorities in the practical questions Of
road improvement, and this is done
without cost to the county for his serv-
ices.
The North Carolina Good Roads As
sociation has also recently done some
effective educational work for good
roads, and the formation Of county or
ganiZations in most of the counties, un-
der the general State Association. has
stimulated the movement in large
degree, and the indications are that the
good roads movement will continue its
steady and gradual growth during the
present year.

Washington. Nov. 29.-The admin
istration dashed the hopes OF the little
band Of American Colonists on the
Isle Of Pines, who have been working
toward the separation Of the island
from Cuba and it's inclusion in the

after consultation with the president,
made public the text OF a letter which
he had addressed 20 Charles Raynard.
president Of the American Club. OF the
Isle Of Pines. defining the attitude OF
the United States government toward
the proposed formation Of a territorial
government in the island as a part OF
tho United States. The secretary was
most pointed in the statements in his
letter. which in part is as follows:
There is no procedure by which
YOU and your associates can lawfully
establish a territorial government in
that island. The island is lawfully
subject TO the control and government
Of the Republic OF Cuba. and you and
your associates are bound 20 render
obedience 10 the laws Of that country
so long as YOU remain in the island. II
you fail In that obedience you will be
Justly liable 20 prosecution in the Gu

or the United States 90 the Isle Of

States has no substantial claim TO the
Isle Of Pines. The treaty merely ac-
cords 10 Cuba what Is hers in accord
ance with international law and JUS
tice."
