ADULTERATED GRASS SEEDS.

Ia consonance with the campaign
which is being conducted in several
states looking to putting stop to the
adulterated stock foods, grass seeds,
ETC., the Nebraska experiment station
has of late been getting after the adul-
terators of alfalfa seed and has found
among other things, that cheat seed. a
worthless grass from the central west
ern states, is being quite generally sold
In place of the meadow fescue, or Eng
l1sh blue grass, and as substitute for
the valuable bronze grass. Two farm
ers OF Rising City, Neb., lately shipped
$4,000 pounds Of the cheat seed to a
Kansas City firm under the impression
that it was the seed of the English
blue grass This is but one of many
instances coming to light which tend
to show conclusively that if conditions
prevailing in the country justify the
passage of pure food law there is
even better ground for the passage OF
stringent federal pure seed law, since
the power of impure seed for future
damage and mischief is far greater
than in the case of any one or several
KINDS OF Impure fOodstuffs.

A WANToN. WASTE.

Secretary Coburn Of the Kansas state
board of agriculture is authority for
the statement that Of the 2S,854. 2O6
pounds of butter produced in the state
last year only 25 per cent was of first
class quality and good enough to com
mand Is cents per pound. While Kan
sas may be behind some of her sister
states in the quality Of the butter she
produces, the situation which Secre-
tary COburn comments upon is one
that may be duplicated to a greater or
less extent in almost every state the
farmers of which make any pretense
at doing a dairy business. The loss
that dairymen suffer in this respect
as result of a poor butter product is
one that has no compensation, as it is
a loss which nobody profits by and
which is never made up. Millions upon
millions Of dollars are lost annually by
the dairymen Of the country in this
way, yet there seems no likelihood of
q change for the better until the indi-
vidual cream producer is converted to
methods of strict cleanliness and ordi-
nary horse sense III the handling OF his
milk and cream.

The MOdesty Of Women

Naturally makes them shrink from the
indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex-
aminations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential in the treatment OF diseases of
women. Yet, if help can be had, it is
better to submit to this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the annoyance and shame for nothing.

SOME QUERIES ABOUT VIRGINIA.

A reader of these notes living in Wis
cousin writes making inquiries about
Virginia-why farm lands are offered
for sale at from So to $50 per acre,
whether stock raising could be carried
on successfully there, whether the
climate would be too tropical for
northern man, etc. Replying to the
queries in order, we should say that
the prevailing low price Of the agri-
cultural lands in question seems to be
due to the same causes that make them
low throughout the New England
states-namely, depletion of soil fer
tility and the fact that the work of
filling is done at a considerable disad-
vantage as compared with the rich and
level prairie lands Of the central and
western states. Then, too, in sections
there is likely to be difference in origi-
mai soil fertility, while the lands in
question may also be stony or have
poor subsoil. That stock raising is car
ried on successfully and extensively in
Virginia is evidenced by the census OF
farm animals given in the government
Crop Reporter for February, 1907. Vir-
glnia is credited with 307, 800 head Of
horses. 50,733 mules, 290,700 milk
cows, 566,7QO other cattle, 512,261 head
Of sheep and 798,080 hogs While these
figures are far from being the largest
in the table, they nevertheless make
creditable showing for Virginia as
stock raising state. We believe that
with lands not costing more than the
amounts named sheep raising, concern
ing which an especial query is made,
could be carried on very successfully
and profitably. The best authorities at
hand touching the climate of Virginia
Indicate that it varies from the tenn
perature of the plains to the cold Of the
northwestern mountain districts. The
climate is generally dry and mild and
healthful the year around. The av-
erage July temperature for the past
twenty years has been rs degrees r.
While for January 1t has been 25.6 de-
grees. The mean average temperature
for the whole year during that period
has been about 81 degrees. The average
annual rainfall during a period of
tWenty-one years is given as 1921
inches. From the figures given it
would seem that the climate is quite
moderate, the summer temperature
comparing very fayorabIy with that
prevailing in Wisconsin and other
northern states, while the winter
weather is not nearly so severe. Since
our friend has ready money, we would
advise him to look into the Virginia
proposition; also Montana, Wyoming
and Idaho, where sheep raising is car
RED on much more excluively and ex-
tensively.

VOLIVA SURRENDERS
General 0yersser of Zion City To
Call a Conference To Elect
His Successor
STILL HOPES FOR VICTORY


Zion City is to have another season
of turmoil and strife as General Over
seer Wilbur Glenn Voliva Friday
night surrendered to the demand of
the great majority of the people of
the city and announced that he would
call meeting of the general ''apos-
ties" of the church, at which time the
question of the election of a general
overseer will be taken up It is
claimed that this will mean that Vol
iva will be custed and another put in
his place. The radical action of Vol
iva has forced this action on the
people and it is generally understood
that many of them desire a change
that will bring peace to Zion. Over
seer Piper, who was formerly in
charge of the Dowie church in Chi
cago, is spoken of as the leading
opponent to Voliva in the fight.
Piper has been given the permis-
sion to preach at Zion College and
the first of the Piper meetings was
held Friday night. He drew larger
crowd than was present, at the Voliva
meeting at the Tabernacle and it is
evident that Piper will have consid-
cradle strength among the people of
the city.
Voliva admits in his order for the
conference that he is practically
down andlout, and the people are be-
ginning to look upon him as dis
carded prophet.
In the meantime the financial af-
fairs Of Zion City are being put ID
better condition by the receiver, and
it is claimed that ia short time a
deal will be made for the sale of the
Zion City Lace works, which will
bring sum of money sufficient to
place thelcity on pretty firm basis.
twill notHbe sufficient, however, to
pay all of the debts of Zion. The
people now negotiating for the pur-
chase of the plant are said to repre-
sent number Of the larger whole
sale houses ia Chicago. Marshall
Field, MandeliBros. and Carson, Prize
& Scott are said to be interested in
the deal. Rafi
