Governor Visits Washington

The Commodore Msury, the flag ship
of the Virginia oyster navy, passed BY
this city on the way to Washington
carly yesterday morning with Gov.
Swanson aboard. Accompanying the
governor were Chairman w. Med. Lee,
of the State board OF fisheries; Secretary
S. wilkins Matthews, Rorer A. james,
of Danville, a member of the board;
Speaker w. P. Cardwcll, of the Vir-
ginia house, Mai. Robert w. Hunter,
Of Rich mond, and Col. r. E. Lee, jr,
of Fairfax.
Gov. Swanson went to the Navy De-
partmert with officials for the purpose
of procuring a small machine gun for
the armament of the Maury. The re-
suit OF the conference with Secretary
Bonaparte and others was satisfactory,
and it is likely that l-inch gun will
soon be mounted on the forward deck of
the vessel. Gov. Swanson returned to
Richmond on the 1880 train.
The Maury took Gov. Swanson aboard
at Old Point Wednesday night aud
brought him to Montross, 10 Westmore-
land, for breakfast Thursday. The gov
ernor, Col Lee, Rev. j. William Jones,
and Mai. Hunter delivered addresses to
about ! 800 people at Montross, the &C.
casion being the dedication of monu

TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and
Limbs-An Old Soldier Declares:
"Cuticura Is Blessing"

AT all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Cuti-
cura. II saved me from worse than the tor
ture of hades, about the year 1900. with
itching on my scalp and temples, and after
wards 1T commenced to break out on INV
hands. Then it broke out ON nv limbs.
1 then went to a Surgeon, whose treat
ment did me no good, but rather agra
waited the disease. l then told him I
would go and see a physician in Erie.
The reply was that / could 90 anywhere
but case of eczema like mine could not
be cured; that / was too old 1907. / went
to an eminent doctor in the city of Erie
and treated with him for six months. with
like results. l had read of the Cuticura
Remedies, and so sent for the Cuticura
Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and con-
tinued taking the Resolvent until / had
taken six bottles, stopping it to take the
Pills., was now getting better. / took
two baths day, and at night I let the
lather of the Soap dry on. I used the
Ointment with great effect after washing
IN warm water, to stop the itching at
once. am now cured. The Cuticura
treatment is blessing, and should be
used by every one who has itching of the
skin. can't say any more, and thank
God that He has given the world such a
curative: VIM. H. Gray, 1908 Mt. Vernon

The organized efforts being made In
North Carolina and many other states
to convince cotton farmers that the
extra 2.000,0 900 bales that have hereto
fore been produced for the purpose of
paying for foodstuffs has been the
ruin not only of the farmer, but of
the entire south, will, it is thought, be
effective to keep down the acreage ex-
cept in Texas. If the extra bales Of
cotton could oe turned into actual
bread and meat, instead of being sold
on the market as cotton. tine producer
might not be damaged, but as long as
100000 bales will bring ten cents
per pound and aggregate $500. 000. 900.
just as long will 100000 bales have
to be sold at about eight cents per
pound and bring to the farmer $780,.
100000. This proves the argument Of
the writer, many years ago, that 1t
was better for the cotton farmers to
produce their own supplies than to
have them laid down at their nearest
depot free of cost" as they receive
nothing for the labor expended on the
extra bales produced. l do not think
there will be much reduction in this
state from last year. as the reduction
has already been made. More atten-
ton is being given to supplies and
stock. Our farmers are investing sur
plus in land, improved implements,

When to Breed Helfers.

A Texas dairyman asks: "At what
age is 1t best to breed young heifers?
have had some trouble in getting
mine to catch. especially after they
have gotten to be nearly two years old
or older. also have some trouble In
getting my older cows to catch. Can
you offer any suggestions that will
help me?"
In breeding young heifers. we have
often found that, II we delay the
breeding until they are over eighteen
months old, 1t will be difficult to get
them with calf. but If they are bred
earlier in life they seem to catch very
readily.
We frequently have trouble In get
ting our COW to catch, and have found
that it is generally due to the individ.
nal condition of the cow, and not to
the bull, as some people think. It
seems that sometimes there is an acid.
fly in the uterus sufficient to destroy
the spermatozoa. and, consequently,
conception does not take place. A
very good remedy. and one that is
cheap and simple. Is to dissolve about
an ounce of cooking soda in a quart
Of lukewarm water. and inject 1t into
the womb Of the COW just as the first
signs of the heat period appear; then
wait about twelve hours before breed
ing her. This remedy has given good
satisfaction with us.
1t would be well to note whether all
the cows are hard to get to catch az
the same time or not. II so, the trou.
BILE may be with the bull, and it would
be well to give him more exercise and
plenty of nourishing food.-Sam
Barnes, in Southern Agricultural.

THE BACKYARD PROBLEM.
Unsightly Clothes Posts May De
Made Things Of Beauty-A Clump
Of Lilacs for q Screen.

One usually thinks of clothes posts
as necessary evils and accepts their
ugliness as unredeemable. 1t will sur
prise many to learn that they may be
made beautiful and retain their useful
ness. have seen a set of clothes posts
In back yard entirely covered with
living green-a luxurnant growth of
Virginia creeper. On side Of each one
was a staple securely anchored in the
post and a large ring hung from the
staple. Through the ring the line was
passed on washday. The rest of the
week the posts were strictly orna-
mental.
The best permanent screen for I'M
slightly objects is a group of ever
green's. A clump of lilacs costs less
and begins to be effective sooner. Hide
the garbage can in a mass of shrub
berry.
Some back yards are too small for
outbuildings of any kind. In larger
ones some sort of arbor-call it a per-
COLA II you like-is delightful. 1t makes
q dry place for children to play when
the grass is dewy. 1t is just the thing
for afternoon tea or sewing and is less
public than the front porch and far
more comfortable than the hot kitchen
when Smelling peas or stemming straw
berries. An arbor covered with vines
at the kitchen door will be greatly ap-
preciated by the help" especially on
summer evenings.
Now for the garden proper. In most
cases I should plant all around the
border and have the center in grass.
In yard only Is by so flower border
three or four feet wide is probably
best. In larger yard border with
gracefully undulating front outline will
be suitable and more pleasing. Groups
of shrubs may be placed in or near the
corners to break the monotony of the

A NEW DISCOVERY.
Powdered Granite Rock az a Medium
Of Imparting Potash to the


Last summer, when DR.. Cushman. of
the road bureau of the department of
agriculture, was working on some
granite road material in the labora-
tory, he had occasion to make a study
Of some very fine powdered rock, and
De came to consider the farmers of
this country should be given a means
OF producing potash fertilizer in this
country without paying the price de-
manded by firms In Germany. He knew
that there are number of species of
granite here which contain a percent
age OF potash. In working on the rock
ne extracted some of the potash by
electricity. although such a means
evolved by him could not be used on
paying commercial basis. He then
decided that as ground rock was very
cheap. 1t might be worth while to try
the experiment of letting the plants
DO their own extracting. He tried the
experiment at his own place, and
found that the powdered rock did act.
ually act as fertilizer, and the chem.
tstry OF nature was able to extract It
and feed 1t to the plant.
