ROCKY MOUNT. N. c., February 23-
Cornwallis's horse box, u carved stone,
marks the encampment. Of Cornwallls's
army at Hunters Fill. Beside an old
and long neglected mill site, in q lonely
wood. near Hunters. in Nash county. is
a rock that bears upon its surfaco-a bowl
like excavation and 4 carved inscription
that are imperishablc reminders of the
time when the British army, under Lord
CORVALLIS, was cNcamped upon the banks
of that rocky stream.
Except In legends Of the county folks
this historic rock has seldom attracted
outside attention. and 1t Is, perhaps,
owing to the interest i'll Colonial events
awakened by the Jamestown Exposition
that so many people have recently visited
It and gathered lip the stories that have
been handed down from the Revolutions
airy period to the present generation.
The rock rests. partially buried, near
the banks OF stoncy Greek, about one
stream crosses the Halifax or Corn
wallis Road.
TO the north and cast the rock
strewn hills rise sharply up from the
brawling waters of the creek.
1t is oblong In shape. being twenty
four feet and two inches in circun,-
ference. and projects three feet above
the surrounding earth It measures
over the longest way nine feet. and
diagonally across. sin feet and ten
inches Is somewhat rounding on tile
top. and upon Its upper surface In the
northeast corner is a concaye trough,
! or hole eleven and one-hnlf inches In
circumference and Ave and one-half
inches deep, with a capacity of prob
ably ono and q half gallons. Just be-
/! low and slightly to the left or the trough
are carved In rough letters these

Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.

The sparrow hawk almost invariably
catches flying bird for it's meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a black bird. 1t does not
exactly swoop like the larger hawks,
yet ii must have conditions Of chase
Of it's own choosing. That is why the
small birds usually mob it with impu-
nifty when they are numerous enough
to bewilder it. Once, however, 1 saw
a sparrow hawk that had been modest
ed for some minutes by a perfect cloud
Of green finches, dart among them and
secure a victim.
The other day I had one Of these
birds pointed out as the one which, a
few days earlier, had come close to
the house toward dusk and caught
bat on the wing. That, however, is
very unusual meal-London News.

Cost of Hauling Crops.

The bureau of statistics recently sent
out a special inquiry circular to ascer-
tain the cost of hauling farm crops to
shipping points, and the compiled re-
suits representing replies from nearly
1000 counties in different parts Of the
United States indicate that the guam
tity Of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to 100000 TONS The cost
of hauling the same is estimated at ap-
proximately 100000, which is an
average of 875 cents per hundred
weight.
In general, the hauling cost is to a
large extent dependent upon the value
of the articles hauled, the more valu-
able products taken to market Oftener
and in smaller loads, and therefore at
a greater cost. Corn, wheat, hay and
potatoes are hauled at from Z to 9
cents per 100 pounds; tobacco and hogs
at 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, Is
cents, and wool, A cents.

TOO MUCH FOR THE CHIEF.

He Couldn't Stand Having a Mule
Fired at Him.
The Indian, stolid as he looks. eos
sesses a sense Of humor which some
times displays itself at unexpected
times. The Rev. Egerton r. Young
gives an example of this in "Stories
from Indian Wigwams." The tale was
told to the author by General Custer
himself only short time before Gen.
eral Custer was killed.
Custer, following a band Of hostile
Indians, drove them up to a region OF
mountains and ravines. At one time
he made an all-night march, and in the
morning came upon a group of unsus-
pecting red men. The enemy was taken
completely off guard, and without at
tempting to fight, fed, disappearing In
the valley, and leaving Custer with lit.
tie hopes Of capturing any of them.
The general was at the top Of a steep
bluff, below which the Indians had re.
treated. The company had with them
a small howItzer, carried on the back
of large mule. Custer ordered that
this gun should be loaded while still
on the animal, and fired down the side
Of the bluff, where the greatest number
Of the enemy has disappeared. For
some reason or other the mule was dis
lodged by the conclusion, lost It's foot
ing, and went crashing down the bluff
into the underground far below.
Meanwhile, troops had descended the
other side Of the bluff, and were search
Ing the woods beneath. After a time
they came back with a large number OF
Indians and one chief, known to be
very warlike and cunning. Custer ex-
pressed his surprise to this chief, and
asked him how he came to be captured.
General" said the red man, 81 am
not afraid to fight men armed with
bows and arrows, or with spears and
tomahawks; and l love the battle with
your soldiers armed with guns. You
know 1 have not often been beaten.
have heard the roar of big guns, and
have not been afraid. But, general, -
here came bit Of twinkle In his eye,
"when you fired whole mule at me,
said, Tt is time to. surrenderv"
He and his men had been In hiding
in the underbrush at just the spot
where the howitzer and the mule crash
ed through.

For Stacking Wheat.

To stack wheat before threshing so
that it will be dry when that time
comes, is the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal. Mr.. C. T.
Pritchard, of Randolph, Clay county,
Mo-, has a system that he has used for
generation, and he never lost a bit Of
wheat by dampness in the stack. He
has great reputation in his home for
this class of work, and he spends a
large part of his time in showing 9th
ers how to do it. He gives a descrip-
ton of his method as follows:
ITO stack wheat or oats so stack
will not take water. Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack five or six
feet high, just reverse the usual way
of stacking, and do it from the center
to the outer edge, instead of from the
outer edge to the center. When you
begin at the center to stack out, lay
two or three bundles so as to keep the
center highest, with a good slant to-
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be-
fore you get there, and go back to the
center and commence again. Be sure to
keep the center highest, with a good
slant to the outside.
This way is just about the same as
one shock on top Of the other, only
more slant to the bundles.
''There is no slip or slide 1t is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
If you are stacking the usual way, and
the stack should begin to slip, just go
to the center and work out, and see
how quickly you stop the slipping Mix
it up a little work from the center
part of the time. Try it,

The Egg and the Chick.

That immutable law of physics that
matter cannot be ann1hilated, or, vice
versa, created out of nothing, appears
to have some doubters even in this day
of general education The old query,
which weighs the most, the egg or the
chicken that is Matched from the egg, is
very good example of this lack Of
faith. To settle the matter for the
hundredth time, experiments were re-
Gently undertaken at one of the agri-
cultural stations engaged in poultry
studies. It was found that a fertile
egg during the process of incubation
lost little over 20 per cent in weight,
while the chick Matched from such an
egg weighed 80 per cent less than the
egg before incubation. A sterile egg
receiving similar treatment lost not
quite Is per cent in weight.

OSTRICH FARMING PROFITABLE
Pair OF Birds 4 Years Old Are Worth
$500.


And, finally, In the list Of California
poultry, place must be reserved for
the biggest Of them all, the ostrich,
says the Los Angeles Herald. An acre
Of alfalfa furnishes home and food
for four birds, and each full-grown bird
yields a crop Of IA pounds Of feath-
ers, worth $50 pound, and hen lays
from SO to 90 eggs during the year,
each one Of which weighs 81a pounds.
With the advent of an incubator that
will hatch the eggs, the business Is
growing In proportion. A 6-month-old
chick is worth 500. At the age Of
year 1t Is valued at $3.50; at 2 years,
from 5000 to $3.50; at years, from
$500 to $3.50, and at years, the age
at which the birds pair, they are worth
$500 pair.
The young birds are kept in droves OF
from twenty-five to fifty. When they
are a year old the hens and cocks are
separated and kept in large docks with
their own sex, and at the age Of 81a
years they are paired off and each pair
kept separate.
In the quality Of the feathers there
Is a vast difference. white Brunos"
and "blood feathers" are worth about
$146 a pound, there being about ninety
feathers to the pound. 'Drabs," the
poorest grade, such as are used in
feather busters, bring 81 pound.
The eggs are fine, both scrambled and
as omelets. The ostrich has been
known to produce over 300 pounds of
egg food In one year. AS one egg
makes as much omelet as two and a
half dozen hens eggs, their use Is re-
stricted to boarding houses.
In 1905 there were 2,200 ostriches
on farms In the United States, these
being In Arizona, California, Florida
and Arkansas.

THE RIGHT OF WAY

The president Of the Great South
Western Railway Company tapped i'm
patiently on the table. The other mem
bers Of the board kept a constrained
silence, and the second vice president,
in charge of extension, gazed longing
~ out OF the window 1t was at him
the president was directing his re-
marks.
1T is ridiculous" he said, that we
should be blocked by the Obstinacy OF
one man in our endeavOr to build this
branch line. A casual observer would
certainly suppose that the executive de-
partment of the company had sufficient
brains to overcome such an obstacle as
this. The situation is simple enough
Here is our road and here are the
mountains In which the new strikes
have been made. To develop them, ma
chinery must be hauled In and ore
hauled out. That means a branch line.
One man owns all the land-mesa and
foothills between the railroads and
the mines. We must cross his ranch,
but he declines to sell right Of way.
He is a pioneer and is bullheaded. He
says the country was getting along
without railroads when he came there,
and that 1t can get along without them
still. We must overcome his objections
but how? We offer to pay him well
Cor all damage done, and he replies by
suggesting that our grading outfit
bring alone one fat car of collins. He

Effect of Meat-Inspection Law.

In an address delivered before the
New York State Breeders Association,
at Syracuse, G. p. McCabe, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, discussed the principal provisions
Of the United States meat-inspectiOn
law, the manner in which the provi-
sions are enforced, and the bearing Of
the law upon the production and ham
ding Of meats.
ITO secure the best results, the
breeders and feeders of every State in
the Union should take up vigorously
the question of the extension of mar
kets and should back the Department
of Agriculture in an inslstend demand
for an absolutely efficient, vigilapt,
fair and square meat inspection. =
If a due regard be had for clean
illness, decency and honesty in the pre-
paration and marketing of our meat
products, the United States will con-
tinue to lead the world in the live
stock and meat trade"

The Gil strawberrx.

Gill still heads the list as a first
early strawberry Of rare merit at the
Ohio experiment station. It's small
stocky plants fairly bubble over with
business and berries. The berries run
small at the close Of the season, but not
until after it has produced an aston

size and mild, pleasant, good, though
not high, flavor.
