A few roots of horseradlsh about the
place often give pleasant variety for
the table, and 1t requires little or no
care. The grated roots form a deli

and fall, and a winters supply can be
had by placing the roots In moist soil
or sand In the cellar The fresh
young leaves Of the horseradlsh make
appetizing greens in the spring.

Foolish Exnorters.

In 1880 the United States exported.
80, 600 900 pounds Of butter and 12.000.-
600 pounds Of cheese, says consular
report. Twenty five years later, in the.
calendar year 1905, this country ex-
ported 100000 pounds Of butter and
100000 pounds of cheese. This ire
mendous decline. Notwithstanding the.
increased demand abroad, was due to
the methods followed by some Ameri-
can exporters, who shipped adulterated
butter, sold oleomargarine for butter.
and used similar methods in the ex-
portatiOn OF cheese.

can be produced by careful selection
and combination of different blood lines
and continuous breeding to type
for two or three centuries, but the
shortness Of mems lives and small prize
to be gained have thus worked against
the development of such breed.

The kind of lead pencil farming that
we should favor is that use of the lead

figure the rest.

Fertilizers.
r A man must use fertilizers intelli.

deal of money upon them. 1t is absurd
for a farmer to purchase fertilizer
and put 1t upon land that he does not

not expend a dollar In fertilizers until
he knows what kind he needs. II his
land is rich Iii n certain element he
will but throw money away II he buys
fertilizers to put on his land. Vast

New Railroad Proposed.

The Washington Post is enthusi-
astically booming Greater Wash
ington," and is advertising the ad-
vantages of that city as a wholesale
trade center. 1t is an excellent
idea, and will undoubtedly accom-
plish great deal of good.
Among the suggestions which we
have noticed in the Post recently
was letter from Bluefeld, w.
Va, man, suggesting that the
Washington boomers get together
and induce the Norfolk & Western
to construct a new line from Ber-
ryville to Washington.
That is a good idea, too, and we
should like very much To see it a
fact but we very much fear that
the strangle hold which the Penn
sylvania Railroad system has upon
Washington will prevent the pos
sibllity of competition.
