Improved Farming.

S Tho keynote OF democratic government

Of the benefitsaof Individual Co operation
have already been given Virginia IN the
development and work done BY tho Co
operative q Education Association. Thtss

upon tho assistance and help of the,
government, but through the united effort
OF the individual citizens accomplished
an enormous work for the cause OF edu-
cationa51n this State, Tho q I lines DIS
patch prints on this page and calls espc-
cial attention to a striking letter from from
Dr.. s. c. Mitchell, in which the SUCCESS
ton Is made that the same principles
might, with the greatest value, be applied
to agriculture. Since farming ~, after after
ali. IN experimental vocation, nothing
could be moro efficiently helpful to the
farmer than to have access to carefully
and scientifically conducted experiments
In the matter Of raising crops and Inn
proving cattle. a great work Is being
done for Virginia at present by the Blacks
burg Institute, but the hem Of the gar
fment mas not been Quebec. when we
consider the vast possibilities Of awaken
Ing the whole; State to the value OF sclen-
title and progressive farming. The Times
Dispatch has called attention a. number
OF times to the improved methods IN farm
Ing In this state that have resulted from
the excellent and stimulating work being
done by the Virginia Polytechnic 1nsti-
tute. l Z n IA VI X. n
Another powerful factor for advance
| has been the supplanting OF negro labor
by intelligent white labor. IT. was a
Hardship on tho farmers to- give up their
coored help, but when the white owner
undertook to do tho work with the assist
ance OF his own family, which had pre-
vlously been done with such help as he
could hire from the negro, the Immediate
effect was to greatly, improve the char
acter and quality Of tho crop that was
raised. Moro and more the State Of Vir-
glnia must learn to- depend upon ma
chlnery and white labor, and every stroke
j OF the spade or furrow oe the ploW that

mitch human energy conserved. The
farmers have already banded themselves

tho tobacco trust. They could not do
better than to enlarge this Organization
and. by cooperation seek 10 reduce MS

energy involved In Unsatisfactory meth.

Nothing can destroy her climate, b'oth

Stock Markets and War Losses

Stock Markets and War Losses.
Reporta from London seem TO show
that the present depression In tho stock
markets over tho whole world Is duo to
tho effect of tho waste az material caused
by tho South African war and BY tho
Russo-Japaneso conflict. In tho opin-
ion of foreign experts tho markets Will
be tired for some tmo. since tho repair
Ing OF wasted property involved In such
conflicts is not q speedy or simple af-
fair, This accounts FOR the tightness
IN international money markets. In the
opinion OF the London correspondent OF
the New York Evening Post. Our own
markets will soon have to meet the an
| nual August drain which Is created by
| the demand for money to move the crops.

The Case Of William U Underwood

The exposure In the packing house busl-l
ness in Chicago resulted in great loss to
large number OF packers OF meat pro-
ducts throughout the country. N The pack

were honest in their products suffered
temporarily along with the fellows who
deserved to be punished by the righteous
indignation OF the American people. For
many years the William Underwood Com
Fpany, Doston.g,.es been packing timed
meats under !" Little Red Deyiled Brand
This firm has exploited It's good by smaga-s
cline advertising almost exclusively, but.
when the packing report was issued by!
the President, the Underwood Company
found 1t necessary to Immediately correct
public opinion as to their products, and
hega n a vigorous campaign OF advertising
E IN newspapers. with the result that 20
few days since In an interview the man

of this campaign In the newspapers had
been so phenomenal that the firm had
decided TO make its advertising appro-

found that magazine advertising lacked

the daily paper. The change OF William

posed burial. The death Of the fifth
duke Of Portland did not occur until
1879
Harcourt House was at one time the
town residence Of the dukes Of Port
land and was built in 1922. One night
the fourth duke Of Portland and the
earl Of Harcourt played cards there.
The stakes were high and luck went
against the duke. At last the mansion
was the stake, and it became the prop
erty Of the earl.
But when the transfer came to be
made it was found that there were legal
difficulties in the way Of alternating the
house from the estate, of which it
formed a part. The difficulty was got
over by the duke taking ninety-nine
years lease from the earl Of Harcourt
on favorable terms. The cardplaying
duke s heir was the eccentric individual
who is alleged to have led the strange
dual life of peer and shopkeeper.
