Some people sell milk, cream, butter and eggs all the year around. but yet they never have anything better than skim milk to drink or use in their coffee and are ever looking with say ing eye as to how little butter they can use or how few eggs they can get along with. These people forego as luxuries the very things which their patrons re- gard as necessities and work so hard to get. Folks economies take queer turns sometimes.

The tendency of farming In our coun- sive method, from the cry of more land' with a greater acreage of crops to the call for better land" with great CT production to the acre. However, the extensive method has not been without its compensations, as large fortunes have been realized from the increase in value of land.

Those who live In. towns and cities and are unused to the growing of things and of seeing them in their na- tive state are slow to buy unless nuts, fruits and grains are polished to an artificial brightness or treated In such a way as to make them more attractive to the eye. Appearance comes first then quality.

Before marketing the potatoes this fall go through and carefully sort as to size and quality. \ uniform grade will command better price and sell more readily than when the large and small, good and bad are all mixed to- gether. When potatoes are too small to make 1t worth while to try to sell. they can be fed out at home with profit.

Never before In the history of the country have the railroads been con. fronted with so stupendous a task In the matter of handling the enormous crops which have been raised as they will have to tackle this fall. While most roads have made large additions to their rolling stock in the way of new and large capacity, engines and freight cars, yet it is questionable If it will be sufficient to keep pace with the in creased yield of the myriad farms of the country.

An Iowa granger of a scientific and exploring turn of mind, who seems to have special grudge against the quack grass which has infested DOT tions of his farm, this season dug up roots of the plant and hung them on the fence exposed to the sun. with a view to determining how long the roots would retain their vitality under these conditions. He found that roots ex- posed one, two and three days started readily when put in the soil, those ex- posed four days not so readily; with those exposed five days the sprouting was doubtful, while those which hung on the fence six days were completely done for. His experiment also proved that if covered with a foot of soil the root dies.

VIRGINIA. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 10 1906

dition of both men and horses IL wa.
probably not deemed prudent to un
dertake it. At all events, the raid
was practically ended at Sutton. We
were now in a sparsely settled and
mountainous district where il was
difficult to get supplies. The bri.
gade was divided into detachments,
and the regiments separated on diff.
ferent routes to find their way back
to the Shenandoah Valley as best
they could and to rendezvous at
Harr!sonburg.
Our regiment (the nth Virginia
Cavalry marched up the Elk River
ten or twelve miles above Sutton,
then struck out across the mountains
over what was more of trail than
road through the glades of Nicho
las County, crossing the Gauley
River near Hinkle's place, which
was the last sign of civilization or
human habitation we saw until two
days later we emerged into that fer.
tile and lovely valley known as the
Little Levels of Pocahontas. From
Hinkle's our route lay through the
dense forest OF the Yew Mountain,
where there was no road, only a
hunters trail, and very blind one
at that, until the second day we de-
scended into the Little Levels, which
seemed to us to be veritable Can
aan. Al any season Of the year the
Little Levels of Pocahontas County
is one of the fairest spots on earth,
and, looking down upon this valley
from the tor of the mountain pre-
sents landscape picture unequaled
on this continent. But at this time,
in the month of May, the famous
little valley wore its loveliest garb,
and its hospitable people welcomed
us with open arms. After weeks of
toilsome march and adventure, we
were at last back in Gods country.
1t was here that we had our first
news of the battle of Chancellors-
vile and the death of Stonewall
Jackson.
After two days rest and feasting
in the hospitable homes of the good
people of Little Levels, the regiment
resumed its march to the place OF
rendezvous at Harrlsonburg, Va,
where the brigade was reunited.
Then the brigade moved eastward
across the Blue Ridge Mountain to
Culpepper, where it rejoined Gen.
Stewards Cavalry Corps and arrived
in time to take conspicuous part
in the battle of Brandy Station, the
greatest cavalry battle of history.

co. "A' WILL ATTEND JAMESTOWN
EXPOSITION.

From The Weston Democrat.
A committee has been appointed
by the members of Company ga" F."
First Infantry, looking to arrange
ments for the comphny to attend
h c jamestown Exposition, at
jamestown, Virginia in June, 1907,
in a body for period of ten days.
The plan is for the company to
live in tents on the Exposition
grounds, the government furnishing
iations at cost, and in return troops
are required to parade at sunset
every evening. 1t has been prac.
tically decided not to take anyone
who has not seen at least one years
service, consequently anyone gong
on this trip must enlist on or before
May goth next.
The Probabilities are that the
troops will be sent to a general ma
neuyer camp either at Manassas,
Va, or West Point, KY, this year
instead Of to the State Encampment.
A recent order from Brigade
Headquarters states that no one will
be taken on tours Of duty who has
not been member at least thirty
days prior thereto.
The annual inspection Of Com
pany a." by an officer Of the reeu.
lar army, will be held Saturday
night, April zIst, at Weston.

THE USE OF STILTS.

Perhaps the boys and girls would
like to know why stills were first
made. Maybe they think they are
only playthings for children. Yes,
they are only playthings to our
children but not to the people in
Southern France.
Stills are somewhat like crutches
TO raise the feet up above the
ground in walking. In the south
western part of France are large
plains called Landes and they are
often flooded with water. The wa
ter is not deep enough for boats SO
stills about five feet high are gen.
orally used by men and women.
They are not held by the hands
like stills used by the boys IN play,
but are strapped firmly to the side
of the leg. The persons on stills
have long poles in their hands to
balance them and TO aid them in
walking. There is a cross piece at
the upper end OF the pole like the
head of a crutch. BY putting il at
a slant on the ground behind him,
a person can sit and rest, looking
in this position as IL on three leg d.
ged stool. Men and women may
often be seen in that country, sit
ting high on stills all day long. In
the morning they put stills on and
they stay on them until dark. They
can walkon stills long distance with.
out getting tired and as they are
able to take very long steps, they
can walk much faster than a man
on foot. A stilt walker of the
Lsndes named Sylvan Dornon
walked on his stills all the way from
Paris to Moscow in fifty days.

pearing on behalf Of the suffering
beasts is after reduction. The
limit of this foodless and waterles.
transportation now fixed by law al
rs hours which as any man with q
stomach will appreciate, is entirely
too long. The shippers of live
stock want 1t extended to s6 hours
to make little more money out of
the stock. II they could, they
would make the run just as long as
it could be made without actually
losing money on the weight of the
stock over the amount saved in food
aud handling charges. The Society
on the other hand claims that either
the runs should be shortened or
that the cars should be fitted with
feeding and watering devices. There
are plenty of expired patents for
such cars on the market though of
course the installation would cost
something. There is the other al
Tentative of moving the slaughter
houses into the cattle country and
and doing away with the long
transportation altogether. But this
would mean extra expense to the
Beef Trust which now makes the
shipper pay the freight. 1t all re.
solves itself into contest betwe en-
humanity and greed. II may be
that humanity will win but at least
the Humane Society is determin ed
that there shall be no extension of
the railroad run and compromise
may be effected on that basis.
The Army Appropriation bill
carries with it a provision this year
for abolishing the rank OF Lieuten-
ant General in the Army. If it
passes, the Chief of Staff after Gen.
Bates will be Major General no
more. This will mean saving of
few thousand year to the govern
ment in salary but 1t will hurt the
pride of aspirants to the Off &c. 1t
will mean that General Macarthur.
Corbin and Woods, all Of whom are
due in the Office in the course of
the next two years, will never reach
the rank of Lieutenant General.
There is another provision in the
a IN C bill that will save more
money and hurt the feelings of
more officers. 1t forbds the pro.
motion of an officer for the purpose
OF retiring at higher rate of pay.
1t is well understood that many of
the officers retired for age are raised
one step In rank for the sake OF the
additional pay even if they hold
the higher rank only for day.
Under the new order, no officer
above the rank of colonel can be
advanced for the sake OF raising his
retired pay unless he has served in
the higher grade at least a year be-
fore retirement. This will affect a
great many officers and effect a de-
cided saving in the retired pay roll.

Extension mine last week shipped $50
tons of high grade ore. The Belmont,
Mizpah, West End, and others are
congesting the railroad with consign-
ments. From every viewpoint there
can be but one prophecy, and that is
that the stocks will continue to ad-
vance in value until much higher
level is reached, and this August fur
ry can be construed only as forerun-
rer of what is to come during the fall
and winter.
L. M. Sullivan, of the L. M. Sui
Ivan Trust company, of Goldfield,
when asked to account for the present
bullish tendency of the market said,
for the present action. In fact, It
1T is very easy to ascribe reason
would be much more difficult to find
a theory which would fit the condi-
tions were they reversed. During the
days Immediately preceding the San
Francisco disaster the market was
strongly bouyant, and while q tempo
rary depression was looked for in
midsummer that time was far in ad-
vance and the top Of the market had
not been reached. When the catas-
trophe came all the world stopped,
stood still, and waited breathlessly for
the outcome. Then the time came
when the banks closed-when money
was tied up, and the result was a
slaughter in Nevada securities, and the
slump was general. During these last
months, however, the intrinsic worth
. of the properties represented by these
stocks have through further develop
ment and rich finds all over the state,
steadily advanced, so that to the cas-
ual observer it must be patent that
as soon as the insurance losses were
paid there must be a strong reaction
in which to reach somewhere near
their intrinsic worth the entire list
must advance from so to so per cent.
The insurance companies have now
turned loose many millions of dollars
in San Francisco, and in the uncer-
tainty which prevails as to where the
popular business sections will be, as
well as in view of the present build
ing restrictions, many people have
money which they cannot well invest
there, and in the growing popularity
of Nevada securities. they are turning
to Nevada rather than to the small
banking interest. People who have
been in business for years now find
themselves for the first time pos
sessed of their entire capital in cash,
and the result is inevitable" When
asked il the present upward move
ment would continue uninteTuptedly
Mr. Sullivan said he thought 1t would.
"There is no reason why we should
experience any further period of de-
preston, as the labor sky appears now
cleared of clouds, do not look for
any reaction whatever"
