To Name "a Committee.

Before the close of the meeting
President T. J. Medill was authorized
to name a committee OF four members
to make a personal investigation Of the
subject, and if advisable. to visit pow
der mills in this part of the country. in
order that a better idea of the subject
may be secured. The subject is new
one here, and it is thought that a per-
sonal investigation will be the best
means of securing accurate informa-
tion as TO the desirability of having the
factory located at the arsenal.

the same natural ability and have
more than twice the opportunities
the others do, will be equal when the
contest comes.
Parents of the rural districts, your
children are as dear to you as any
parents. DO you want them to be
helpless or inferior in capacity to
their fellows in the years to come?
l am sure no true parent does. But
mark the prediction: unless the par
ents of the rural districts bestir
themselves and secure more of the
advantages for their children in the
way of education the time will sure
ly come when those who have it not
must serve.
This is not a pleasant thought, but
it is as true as the Gospel itself.
We do not want to see parents Of
the rural districts satisfied with three
or four months school; they must
not be content with this if they ex-
pect to keep pace with the towns and
villages. -Catawba County News.

Visiting Neighbors' Farms.

Every farmer should get out occa-
sionally and visit his neighbors'
farms. Every other business man
makes it a point to know the men
who are engaged in his line of work,
and he profits by the acquaintance.
The farmer who stays at home all
the time is inclined to get the idea
that the sun rises and sets for the
particular benefit of his individual
patch of earth, which means that he
is in fair way to go to seed. OF
course when a man visits another
mans farm, he will not brag, criticise
or gossip. If he 'goes in a friendly
give-and-take spirit, he will general
ly find his neighbors quite ready to
explain how he grows more corn to
the acre than does the man on the
next quarter, or to show why his
poultry or his dairy bring him a prof
it, whereas they are only a drain on
the resources Of too many of his fell
low-farmers. 1t is not safe to jump
at the conclusion that because a man
grows more corn to the acre than you
grow his soil is any better thaa
yours. In nine cases out of ten he
raises more because he uses better
seed, or because he has learned bet
ter methods of cultivation.-F

CuItivating the Plum Orchard.

There is even more necessity fog
regular and clean cultivation with
the plum than with the peach, mas
much as it requires a more plenth
full supply OF water. Moisture caE
only be retained by cultivation, shalS
low but thorough, after every COM
pacting rain, thereby pulverizing the
crust and forming a soil mulch to
shut off capillarity and so retain
the water already chambered in the
subsoil from the winter rains. To
insure such a reservoir Of moisture
the~prchard should be plowed in
both directions with either cultiva-
tor or disk harrow as early in win
ter as possible. Even during win
ter it will pay once or twice to break
the compact crust that forms after
heavy rains with an acme harrow
or similar instrument, though this
is quite generally neglected by COM
mercial growers to their loss.
Crops of grass and weeds should
never be allowed to develop in the
orchard, as they not only rob the
trees of water, but of plant food
without a corresponding return, Low,
cultivated crops, like cotton, while
of course distinctly injurious to the
trees, are less Objectionable, since
to a certain extent they pay for board
and lodging. Cowpeas in rows oc-
cupying the middle between the trees
are rather more of d benefit than 4
detriment, for although they trench
on the water supply, they return an
equivalent in the nitrogen they trans
fer to the soil Small grain, how
ever, is ruinous. Cultivation should
cease before the maturity of the
crop and not be resumed until the
trees have become dormant in the
fall This will permit the wood to
ripen up well, which a constant dis
ruption of the root system by the
cultivator would prevent.-Prof. H.
NJ Starnes.

Severe Root Pruning Favored.

Although the horticulturist of the
Georgia experiment station declines
to make any positive statement con-
corning the ACCESSIBILITY of severe
root pruning when planting young
trees, he says that he is fully salts
fed that peach trees from which the
rootse have been largely cut off will
live and flourish in Georgia even in
stiff clay and under adverse weather
conditions The same statement
may also be made OF apple and
cherry trees. In some experiments
made he found that the root-pruned
trees made FEWER, deeper, larger and
more robust roots These roots
penetrated seventeen and one-half
inches for the roots of unpruned
trees.

FANCY CUCUMBER PRESERVES.

FANCY CUCUMBER PRESERVES.
Young cucumbers about the length
Of ones middle finger should be used
for preserving. Place them in
strong brine and allow them to re-
main there for one week. Then wash
them and soak them a day and a
night in fresh water, changing it
about four times. Wipe them, and
with a small knife slit them down
one side. Dig out the seeds and stuff
with a mixture of chopped raisinS
and citroD. Sew up the slit with fine
thread Weight and prepare syrup,
using a pound Of sugar to pint of
water to every pound of cucumbers.
Heat tho sugar and water. When
the boiling point is reached drop the
cucumbers into the syrup. Simmer
them gently half an hour Take out
the preserve and spread it upon a
dish in the sun. Let it remain there
until the syrup has been boiled down
with few slices of ginger root.
Then add the cucumbers, and simmer
very gently FIVE minutes. Put them
into glass jars and seal. This recipe
has been used by a noted housekeep-
e. for over thirty years.
