great deal to attract Western and north
ern farmers OF Var and he has some
very practical ideas on the subject. In.
a short talk with Times Dispatch man,
yesterday, he said among other things:
'Instead OF making eloquent pleas upon
the musings and farming societies for
the upbuildng OF the agricultural In
terests Of Virginia, the only sensible thing
to do Is to spot the lazy man. who sits
around all day, complaining OF hard
times poor lands and bad weather, sell
him out and get new tenant. A man
who will till the soil, bring scientific
endeavor and plenty Of muscle and
manure to bear on the poor land; who
will forget the hard times and not mind
the weather, Then good times will come
to old Virginia. and prosperity and
plenty will walk hand In ha nd through
land that will blossom like a rose,,'l.
Mr.. Casselman practices the doctrine
he breaches, and Is doing great deal
to bring land-buyev to old -.-irglnia.

Care of the Cows Teats.

The care of the teats should always
be observed by the mixer, and when
they get hard and rough should be
7nointed with vaseline, as cracked
teats are an annoyance to the mixer,
hurtful to the cow and have tendency
to lessen the flow of milk. Long fin
gernails are also discontinue to the
COW, and the mixer should keep them
well pared to avoid trouble.
Some cows will not give down their
milk for some mixers as readily as
to others, and it is often necessary to
change mixers and try to find one
whom the cow takes a liking to and
for whom she will give it down. The
holding up of the milk has tendency
to lessen the secretion and consequent
ly the flow.

Fall Flowing.

1t sometimes happens that one has to
plow sod whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself for doing the work, with
out reference to whether the time
chosen is the best or not. Some argu-
ments might be advanced in favor of
early fall plowing, while late fall
plowing also has its advantageous fea-
lures. If plowing is done early in the
fall, say in September or October, 1t
is usually necessary to do a little disk
Ing before the ground freezes up, 9TH
erwise the grass may make consider
able growths, and this in turn pre-
vents the sod from decaying. If one
has the available horse power and also
the time to do the work, bluestem sod
may be brought into fine condition by
plowing 1t early and afterwards disk
Ing It, The ordinary method is to plow
late In the fall. If the sod Is turned
over completely with but little buckling,
the grass will make but little head
way, and consequently a saving of la
Dor will be affected, as compared with
early plowing.-Field and Farm.

Improving Live Stock.

Improvement by selection has made
the live stock of this country more val
liable. 1t was once supposed that
three-minute gait in trotting was very
fast, and the four-mile running horses
barely accomplished the distance in
eight minutes. A 60-pound sheep was
large, and the razor-back hog was on
every farm. To-day we have trotting
horses that have gotten close to a mile
In two minutes, the runner has nearly
reached minute and half, while
sheep that weigh 400 pounds alive are
not rare.

sons were not prepared, and about half
the time you didn't know how to pre-
pare them. Didn't have no ood-looking
teachers smelling of perfume coming
around to help backward pupils In
those days. No, sir. The teacher was
built on Jim Jeffries lines, and he
ruled with club. And finally 1t came
to you to read some OF that dope where

and you suffered and stumbled and

Scarcity of Quail.

Quail starved to death by thousands
in the winter of 1904-05, but last winter
they had an easy time except in Febru-
ary and March. From Massachusetts
to Indiana the quail are so scarce that
restocking has become necessary. The
birds for this purpose are hard to find.
More than 100000 have been captured
in Alabama and the southwest, where
they still occur in abundance, and have
been shipped north for breeding. Even
this supply is inadequate, and may not
last long. The quail is perhaps our most
popular game bird, and market will
be found for all that can be procured.
Complete success has been had in rails
ing them on small scale Why should
not some one go into the business on
such a scale that he could turn out
100000 quail per year?-Country Life

Use and Value of the sno.

The use and value of the silo has
made phenomenal progress throughout
the country during recent years. In
1888 the United States Agricultural
Department reported only ninety silos
In the country. The recent report finds
approximately 100000. Formerly the
benefits of the silo were almost wholly
unknown to the average farmer; now
1t Is found to be a necessity on thou
sands of farms. This is especially true
In the corn belt, where the silo is almost
a necessity in economical dairying.
Recent experiments prove conclusively
that the use of silage Is quite as much
OF a necessity in beef production. 1t
not only provides a palatable, succu-
lent, healthy food, but enables the
farmer to keep about twice the number
Of live stock as before the advent of
the silo. 1t not only produces nearly
double the quantity of dairy products
and beef, but augments the fertility of
the soil. The silo Is here to stay, and
every farmer should plan to have one.
With all its other advantages, there Is
no other way that roughage can be so
cheaply stored.
