A MILLIONAIRE FARMER.
How George W. Vanderbilt lakes Ills
Farm pny.

At Fillmore. in North Carolina. George
W. Vanderbilt has spent over S2,Noo.cc in
creating the greatest estate in America.
He has torn down n mountain, built a
great castle and owns seventeen square
miles of mountain country. These miles,
however, are all under tho most careful
cultivation, either as farming. grazing,
OF timber lands.
The owner of Biltmore has the faculty
or picking the right men for the right
work. He induced a "book farmer from
Louisiana to come into the Carolina
mountains and take charge OF the fields.
iocks. and herds. That was eleven years
ago, and until Arthur S. Wheeler began
riding up and down the hills and through
the bottoms he had never known of agrt-
culture except from the printed page.
He tested the soil OF the few little worm
ont plantations on tho estate, he xamin-
cd the hillsldes. He brought into play his
knowledge Of fertilizing the earth. Of crop
rotation, OF the fodder and grain which
might grow here. and especially OF the
live stock which might thrive md yield
n profit. He decided that highgrade Jer-
soy cattle would pay In milk and butter,
also hogs and poultry. and that the prod
uct of tho soil should he first for their
benefit. So the bare hills became pastures
and lots for the swine To range. ample
shelters being OF course provided. The
poultry farm was stocked with record
egg layers of high degree, also pigeons,
for squads are profitable. Modern incuba-
tors Matched chickens by the hundreds.
Everything. however, was conducted on
strictly business lines. Each Jersey has
her own stall and page in the diary rec
ord, as is also the butter test-the guam
titH of butter which the cream would
mako. All the ensilage and other fodder
she eats In n day are debited against
her. When n hen in the poultry house
wants to contribute to the egg fund, she
enters a trap nest by which she shuts
a gate which keeps her n prisoner until
the poultry keeper finds her. He looks
at the number on the leather band around
her neck. takes the egg. and then re-
leases her. Each hon also has a record
page according to her number and the
number Of eggs she lavs in a month or
year of her life are noted on the books
ut the farm office.
Seventy-hve farm hands are needed for
all purposes. including the milking, which
Is done by hand. The creamery has such
a mechanical system that in II three men
prepare over a thousand quarts Of milk
cream. the yield Of tho cows ranging from
eight to fifteen quarts or more a day.
Tho Ashcville people who boast Of hav-
Ing n Vanderbilt for a milkrnan have to
pay eleven cents n quart as It comes from
the shiny yellow wagons bearing the sign
Biltmore Dairy. and think It Is cheap.

Bennington. June 2S.-When the republi-
can caucus was held here to elect dele
gates to the State and district conven-
tons, the local leaders in the Republican
party were confronted with two PROPOSE
lions. One was to secure a delegation TO
the State convention that would vote
FOR Zed S. Stanton for governor, the
other to pick out az many delegates as
possible who were fortunate enough to
own automobiles. Subsequent events have
demonstrated that both problems were
successfully solved. Tomorrow morning

THE SUMMER APPETITE.
by Alice T.. Whtttnkcr.

When the first warm days come ap-
pcties are likely to fail and the task Of
selecting food becomes n burden. The
housewife shares this Discrimination TO
eat and this increases her distaste for
marketing and cooking. Usually the ap-
petite first declines meat. especially
roasts and steaks, and It is far greater
wisdom to omit meat until a natural
era wing comes for It than it is to force
It on an unwilling stomach or dose with
tonics to create an artalcial appetite. A
great many people do not need meat
more than once a day during the hot
weather.
People who work. however. must be
nourished, and how to do this accept
ably is the question of the moment. The
cooks skill is needed now more than at
any time of the year. Extra care in the
appearance OF the table is essential and
also In the service Of the food. Now IS
the time 70 drop out oatmeal at break
fast and substitute some preparation Of
wheat or serve boiled rice which has no
fat. Salads and vegetables In great va
riety are needed. Eggs, FISH and chicken
are better than beef or pork but mutton
and lamb are especially summer meats,
1t Is wise to spend more for cream and
less for butter and fat meats In summer.

OUR CHAUTAUQUA SUPPLEMENT-

With this issue, the Transcript
presents to it's readers a supplement
descriptive of a number of the at
fractions to be seen at the Austin
Chautauqua, which opens Tuesday,
July 7th, and continues six days,
closing Sunday evening, July 18th.
Our readers will find the supplement
attractive from a: pictorial stand
point and filled with information
upon public men and matters, which
will appeal to all as interesting and
valuable.
q Ehe Transcript has gone to con-
siderable trouble and expense in
issuing this supplement, both, from
it's desire to further the interests of
the Chautauqua, in which the towns
people and agricultural communi-
ties are equally interested. A Chau-
tauqua means something. The es-
tablishment of good Chautauqua
is, in itself, certificate of the moral
| and intellectual progress of the COM
munfty where it takes it's root. A
glance through the supplement will
impress readers with the excellence
and balance of the program and
careful study will simply add con-
viction that the Austin Chautauoua
is worthy of the patronage of every
person in the territory contiguous
to this city.
Read the supplement carefully
and prepare to attend the Austin
Chautauqua. AS the roster of
attractions indicates, no better bal
anced or higher classed program
will be given anywhere than at
Austin.
