BLACKsBURG. VA, May 2.-The
agricultural department. and expert

mic Institute has just completed very
interesting experiments with steers
and swine. These experiments will

The finished animals resulting from
the experiments have heretofore been

sor of animal husbandry, who comes
here with experience from other In
stitutions, North. West and South, and

wise to sell this experiment 1tock to

HAD BEST SEASON
IN REGENT YEARS.
Tobacco Grown in Virginia o.
Fine Quality, and Prices Ex-
ceptionally Good.

y Though a good deal Of the 1907 crop
yet remains to be sold, the tobacco
season proper. practically closed with
the last day of April. The leaf which
now remains to be handle, is scattered
throughout the tobacco sections Of the
State and will probably be handled in
small quantities until the time for cut
ting the new crop. M
In all parts of the State the season
has been, perhaps. the most success
full for ten years. both to the farmer
and tho dealer. The quality of offer
ings has been by far the best seen on
the warehouse floors for many years.
In consequence prices came high with
the first breaks, and with. the excep-
tiop of slight decrease during the
worst part of the winter, they have
been steady. The average for, April,
ran we'll above $40 per 100 pounds In
Richmond and on most &C the other
markets OF the State, while the aver
over c9.75 per 100 pounds for all
grades.

A Significant fart IN regard to the
trade for this season Is that though
the croris considerably smaller thun
last year from standpoint of pounds,
the amount Of money received FOR 1t

was noticeably smaller.
This is used by tho dealers as the
most forcibe arg .ment to tho farmers

HAGUE. VA. May 1.-THE early
spring has brought forward the wheat
and oats, and there are number OF
very promising crops of clover red and
crimson. The very fine season for
tomatoes last year brought such
heavy crop that the Gamers We're
forced under contract, to pay for more
tomatoes than they could possibly
handle. and the prices for canned to-
matoes have prevented much II any,
profit. This has made the tomato bust
ness this year quite doubtful. Some
six or eight canneries about Kinsale
have combined and reduced the con-
tract price for tomatoes from % cents
last year to 20 cents per bushel this
year. In consequence, most Of the
farmers who supplied them have or
ganized society and determined not
to raise any tomatoes for less than
o5 cents per bushel. TheySpropose to
erect cannery Of their own, and also

The delicate measurements demand
ed by modern scientific processes and
machines have led to the invention Of
many Instruments OF precision that sur
prise the uninitiated by their capabili-
ties, which are often based on extreme
ly simple principles. Among these L.
little apparatus recently put upon
the market in France for determining
the thickness, or, one might say, lack
Of thickness, of extremely thin plates,
wires and threads. The inventor likens
its action to that of lever in which a
ray Of light takes the place Of the beam.
Essentially the apparatus consists Of
two carefully ground plates in contact
with one another, the upper one being
attached to a movable arm. When an
object is placed between the edges Of
the plates the upper plate Ii displaced
a little In level, and the effect of this
displacement Is magnlfied by a reflected
ray Of light which falls upon gradu-
ated scale. Thus the most delicate
measurements Of thickness are easily
and quickly made.

ADVICE TO VICTIMS

PROMPTLY CURE RHEUMA.
TISM AT HOME.
Directions to Mix Simple Prepare
ton and the Dose to Take-OVer-
comes Kidney and Bladder
Trouble Promptly.

There is so much Rheumatism ev-
erywhere that the following advice by
an eminent, authority, who writes for
readers of large eastern daily paper,
will be highly appreciated by those
who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy, one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapar,
lila. Shake these we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic.
tins of this dread and torturous dis.
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture
and in most cases a permanent cure is
the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the eliminative
tissues of the Kidneys so that they
can filter and strain from the blood
and system the poisons, acids and
waste matter, which cause not only
Rheumatism, but numerous other dis
eases. Every man or woman here who
feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, or who suffers
from any urinary trouble whatever
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture, as it is certain to do much
good, and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.

European Labor Leaders Alarmed
Over Increase in Homecoming
Contingent.
STEAMSHIPS ARE LOADED DOWN
Hundreds OF Destitute Aliens Wan
dering Streets of Paris on
Verge Of Destitution.

The Increasing contingents Of home
coming Italians, Lithuanians and other
Mediterranean Storage passengers are
oAsconcerting not only to the steamship
companies, who have inadequate facili-
ties for dealing with such a sudden and
unexpected traffic, but to the labor
leaders Of Europe, who deny that these
newcomers have sufficient money to
pass the winter without working, and
declare that they will thus add to the
misery OF what is sure to be a hard win
ter among the European working
classes.
The figures given by the French la
Dor bureau as to the returning emf
grants are corroborated by Nicholas
Martin, agent Of the American line,
who says that all the steerage capacity
Of every vessel has been taken until
Feb. 1, while thousands more will be
unable to return to Europe before
spring. If this keeps up, Paris CORE
spotdent says, some special measures
must be taken to repatriate the hordes
OF disappointed Adventures, for the
ordinary means are insufficient.
ITO my knowledge several hundred
Of more Or less destitute aliens are wan
dering in the streets Of Paris on the
verge Of starvation, and the prefecture
police books will probably multiply this
figure by three" said one of the officials
at the ministry of works to the CORE
spondent. THE best we can do is to
expedite their return to their native
countries. Something like half of them
have no more money than is barely
sufficient to pay their fare"
Never since the first ship sailed out
Of New York harbOr has there been any
thing like the present exodus of emf
grants from that port. Day by day the
crowds clamoring for transportation
abroad grow greater, with no prospect
of their reduction in numbers.

WORK OF IRRIGATION.
New Plans Adopted Contemplate
Many improvements.

New Plans Adopted Contemplate
Many improvements.
In the irrigation division of the Ag-
ricultural Department the three main
lines Of work will be, as heretofore, dis
semination Of practical information,
scientific and technical investigations,
and reporting on irrigation conditions
In certain districts. In view Of the fact
that probably about 100000 acres Of
land provided with water for irriga-
ton will be available for settlement at
the close Of 1908, it is believed that in
no other way can more good be done
than in supplying practical information
through publications and expert ad-
vice to the new settlers on this land,
and 1t is therefore deemed advisable
to broaden the scope of this work so
as to make 1t valuable to every class
Of farmers dependent upon irrigation
and to every project, whether public or
private.
The scientific and technical investiga-
tons will be a continuation and extern
sion or what has already been done.
Prominent features of the work will be
to determine what becomes of the large
quantity of water which is annually
spread over cropped soils, involving
study Of evaporation, seepage and dis
tribution of losses, with a view to Sc
curing higher economy in the use of
water; the relation of irrigation water
to quantity and quality of crop and the
adaptation of methods to different soils
and crops, and study of the more
technical features of the measurement,
conveyance, storage and distribution of
water on farms, and the various de-
vices used for pumping.
In the study of irrigation conditions
In different localities emphasis is to be
laid especially on possible improve
ments Of present methods which will
lead to a more economical use Of water.

With the Anal closure of the Colo
RADIO river, the great EaltoA sink, which
Ia inundated as the result 81 q poorly
constructed headgate of an irrigation
canal and rapidly converted into an
inland sea, will gradually dry up. In
asmuch as there are practically no out
lets for ..A:!s vast body Of water, the
sink must naturally evaporate to dry
ness. According to one opinion the
Salton Sea will dry up In about eight
years.
The growing Importance Of the metal
tantalum, owing to It's employment in
the preparation of filaments for mean
descent lamps, gives interest to the re-
cent discoveries of minerals containing
tantalum In WetseEn Australia. As
long ago as 1894 tantalum was found
at Bimberg, combined with niObium
and antimony. Later 1t was discovered
near the same place in combination
witch iron. Quite recently a eOmbina-
ton Of 20 per cent tantalum and 30
per cent manganese has been found at
