A SMALL" DISCREPANCY.

We have often wondered why
1t was that the railroads in Virginia
paid such a small proportion of the
taxes, and have at the same the
time marveled greatly at their
large growth in value and lack of
growth in taxation.
Perhaps all of these questions
will be cleared up, for Senator
Thomas, of Lynchburg, last week
offered the following resolution in
the Legislature:
Whereas the Department of
Commerce. and Labor Bulletin 81
Page s, shows that the commercial
value OF the railway property de-
voted to transportation in Virginia
is S2l1, 315, 900; and whereas the
same bulletin page II. shows that
this property is assessed for taxa
ton at $63, 1863. 623; therefore be it.
Resolved by the Senate of Vir-
ginia (the House of Delegates con-
curring). That the Corporation
Commission be requested to inform
the Senate why the difference of
Sl4S. O45,3 is not also assessed
and made to bear its part of the
public burdens"

EXAMINATIONS FOR TEACHERS GER
TIFICATES EXPLAINED.

As the examination of teachers
and the issuing of certificates to
teach in the public schools of the
state Is now entirely in the hands
of Examiners and Inspectors and
one of their chief duties, subject of
course to the authority of the State
Board of Education, desire to give
for the information of teachers and
Others interested in our schools a
brief outline of the plan which has
been adopted, and some of the
changes which have been made.
The examination of teachers was
placed in the hands of this Board
IN order to secure uniformity in
grading, and thus fix a definite
standard for Teachers Certificate
IN Virginia and to give it a value
which will be recognized all over
the state. Heretofore, as is we'll
known, each county superintendent
graded the papers of the teachers
IN his county and as there are us
county and city superintendent in
the state, there were necessarily
lis different standards Of certif-
Gates, because no two superinten-
dents graded exactly alike. Con-
sequently First Grade Certificate.
for example, stood for one degree
of scholarship and efficiency in one
county and quite different degree
IN another, possibly a neighborinp
county. AS a result a certificate
was only good in the county in
which 1T was issued unless endorsed
by the superintendent of the county
In which 1T was to be used. Under
the new plan certificates of the
same grade mean exactly the same
thing and are recognized as denot-
ing a definite degree of scholarship
and professional skill anywhere
In the state, and it is not possible
that teacher can secure a certifi-
cate in a county where the standard
is low and then apply to teach in a
county where the standard is high. |

SUCCESSION OF GRAZING CROPS
FOR HOGS.

Any farmer can select a six acre
tract of land convenient to his barn
and divided it off as follows. The
tract of land selected should be
rather long and narrow and a road
way should be left along one side.
Divide the land into six equal areas
by means of permanent fences.
The first area should be seeded
to grass. In some section blue
grass will be used; in others, or
chards grass; and still others, Ber-
muda. The temporary or perma-
nent shelters for the hogs should
be erected on this section of land.
These need cost very little, for a
suitable shelter for a brood sow
and her litter can be built at a cost
OF $500 or $1,000.
Section two should be seeded to
sorghum as early in the spring as
possible. After it is grazed down.
seed to winter oats and hairy wetch
or crimson clever may be used.
This will furnish some late fall and
early spring grazing.
On Section three sow cowpeas as
early in the spring as possible.
After the cowpeasare grazed down.
put in crimson clover which will
be available early the next spring.
On Section four plant Spanish
peanuts.
On Section five prepare the land
with the greatest possible care. and

WHITE HOUSE OUTRAGE SMOTHERED.

Senator Tillman, Of South Caro-
lima, introduced a resolution in the
Senate last Thursday, as follows:
Resolved, That the President of
the Senate be authorized to APP
point a committee of five Senators
to investigate the recent unfortu-
nate incident at the White House
resulting in the expulsion from
the executive offices of Mrs. Minor
Morris, and report to the Senate.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, at
once moved to lay the matter on
the table, which was done by a
vote of a to 5.
Those who voted for the resolu-
ton were Senator'S Blackburn. of
Kentucky, Latimer, of South Car
DINA, Frazier, of Tennessee, Nc
Creary, of Kentucky, McLaurin,
of Mississippi, Money, of Missis-
sippi, Stone, of Missouri, and Till
man, of South Carolina.
The COURIER printed a report of
the outrageous expulsion of Mrs.
Morris from the White House. and
we are much surprised to find SEN
ator Daniel, whom we have not
seen on the stump in Virginia for
so many years, and Senator Mar
tin, the farmer of Albemarle. =
whose horny hands waved so
vociferously and pleadingly over
the State last year, both taking the
position that THE King can do no
wrong"
Comparisons are sometimes
odious; not always. But we ven
ture the assertion that if A. j.
Montague had occupied a seat in
the United States Senate, his voice
would have been raised in behalf
of outraged womanhood, and his
vote would have been cast for an
investigation which would show
who was the guilty party and pro-
vide for just retribution. Senators
Daniel and Martin seem to be con-
structed along entirely different
lines, more's the pity.

most desirable of all the grazing
crops as it can be grazed over two
or three times during single sea-
son, and will remain on the land
for several years, ifwell established.
Section six may be devoted To
artichokes to furnish feed through
the late fall and winter.
Some grain should be fed TO the
hogs on grazing crops-one To
three pounds per day depending
on the age and size of the animals.
An ear or two of corn will often
be all that is necessary. BY using
grazing crops the corn can be made
to go much further, and better
quality of pork obtained at lower
cost per pound. Hogs kept on
grazing crops are under the very
best sanitary condition. The plan
suggested will provide grazing for
% to so hogs depending on the
character of the land and the crop
season.
The several areas should not be
kept in the same crop from year to
year, but a rotation shouid mo
practiced that will enable a variety
of crops to be grown on the land.
and so preserve an equilibrium in
the soil food supply. The utiliza-
ton of grazing crops for pork pro-
duction is matter worthy of the
most serious attention of our
farmers.
