All this talk about Samuel w. Will
liams not getting q square deal in the
courts of Mcdowell county, West Vir.
GINA, is bosh, and has led many to be-
lieve that justice is the very thing which
the Virginia Attorney General-elect
most fears. To the man, every official
connected with the criminal court of
Nc Doweil county are native Virginians,
each of whom are the equal, if not the
peer, of the gentleman who now seek
to avoid trial for j felonious assault up-
on his fellow man. The action of Judge
Williams in refusing to return to West
Virginia for trial has caused Governor
Glasscock of that State to make reuuisi-
ton upon the Governor of Virginia for
the surrender of the man, and under
the requisition agreement entered into
IN 1887 between the two States, Cover
nor Swanson will either be compelled to
honor the requisition or violate the
terms of the agreement referred to
above. This cry on the part of Will
liams that he cannot get justice in the
courts OF Mcdowell is but ruse to es-
cape return to West Virginia, and has
had its effect upon but small percent
age of our people. Those familiar with
the officials and doings of the criminal
court in Mcdowell know that Judge
Williams viii be given a fair and i'm
partial hearing, and they take no stock

During the past fiscal year ending
September 30, 1909, Virginia received
from all sources the sum of So, $50. 4Sf. -
o.. The balance left over from the
previous year was S535, 313 95, making
total on the credit side of the ledger
of the Commonwealth of Sc, OIL, 794. 80.
The disbursements during the year
amounted to 5,795, 191 %, more than
quarter of 4 million dollars greater
than the receipts, reducing the balance
in favor of the State by about one-half.
The balance en- hand of the last day of
September, 1909, was $276, 603. 20. This
would seem to Indicate that the Legis-
lature must go carefully in its appropri-
ations at its next session, for one more
such year as the last would wipe out the
States little balance, and two years
would create large deficit. These fig
ures are taken from the annual report
OF Colonel Morton Marye. the State Au
ditor, which was issued on Friday last.

Lived Alone for Years and Refused a
Fortune He Had Inherited.

From Bangalore comes the strange
story of German recluse named Ixas-
par Schieffmayer, who lived alone in ;
village near st. Johns Hill and was
found dead in his room, having sue
cumbed to a neglected attack of bron
chitis.
Mr.. Schieffmayer went to India about
thirty years ago as a specialist in agricul-
ture for the government of Madras, bul
as the climate did not suit him he re-
signed the appointment. Proceeding tc
Bangalore, he purchased over forty acres
and never left his estate even Temporal
rily for the rest of his life. He occu-
pied room about eight feet square, the
only articles in it being a cot, a chair
and a few cooking utensils His food
consisted of milk and eggs and a loaf
of bread supplied to him daily, and the
one coolie whom he employed was al
ways sent away before sunset.
:. A valuable stock of cows and pigs and
some savage bull terriers were, in fact,
all the companions of his life. His pecu-
liar habits developed to such pitch
that he gave up wearing clothes except
when obliged to see some rare visitors
as came on business. This eccentric way
of life was attributed to an early love
trouble which was believed to have
turned the unfortunate agriculturist into
a misogynist and world hater.
A few months before his death a let
ter was forwarded tc him from the Ger
man consul at Madras to inform him
that he had come into considerable
fortune, but the old hermit scorned to
acknowledge the communication and died

The color of the yolk of the egg
seems often to be effected very notice
ably by a change in the food. When
fowls are closely confined in winter
or summer, it often happens, especial
ly II ration is deficient in green food
that the yolks are pale colored. In
one instance a much deeper orange
color in the yolk followed change in
feeding to green clover and alfalfa
One lot, where pale colored yolks were
the rule, laid eggs with orange colored
yolks after they had been given the
run of barn floor covered with dry
clover chaff and leaves. A change in
color of butter is often noticeable in
the same way when cows are turned
to pasture after dry feed.

course, in all cases except one the
calves have access to yardage at will.
Referring to the illustration for de-
tailed description, the bottom Of the
manger, Is inches wide, consisting OF
Pinch hemlock. is 6 inches above the
floor. AS the front of the manager is
built on rather than against the bot
tom it leaves the inside bottom meas
urement of the manger 16 inches The
side of the manger over which the
calf's neck is placed in feeding Is
inches above the bottom, one-half of
this distance being taken up by a 2x4,
the balance by the bottom framework
of the stanchion resting on 1t. The
top part of the manger over which the
calf feeds is Is inches above the floor
and should not be made higher, as
even this is rather high for the new
born calf The youngest calves can
feed over this, but should not be left
fastened during the day, as they could
not lie down comfortably The side
of the Manager next the feed alley is
practically feet high and 21a feet
above the floor; the slope given to
this part of the manger is a very de-
cided advantage, especially in placing
and removing buckets while the calf
is fastened in the stanchion; even
more slope than that indicated would
be we'll. The manger Is partitioned
off every two feet; this should be the
minimum width, for while it is ample
room for the young calves. even more
room would be desirable for the rough
age of the older ones. The manger
partitions extend upward as far as the
curved line shown in the Illustration,
but this is the most faulty feature of
the fixture, as it is possible for one
calf to reach over and suck another

Black Winter or Spanish radishes

1t has been said that weeds are the

play the mischief with crop.
For best results in the vineyard
plenty of water is necessary During

A fall crop of potatoes will be found
profitable, If the grower has kept his
land in good filth during the sum

Cold air will not injure sheep but a
wet coat and cold wind may prove
as dangerous as it would with any
other animal.
All decaying cabbage should be dug

All rubbish should be removed from
the garden before it is plowed De

the place where they are kept has
windows to let the sunshine in and

The first shoes put on colt are Of

Experiments with rubber asphalt
roadways covering period of six
years are reported to have shown very
satisfactory results. Rubber asphalt
is claimed to be more plastic and more
adhesive than pure asphalt and resists
higher temperatures. This product
which is manufactured under patent
ed process, permits cold applications of
the asphalt, which are said to possess
all the advantages of hot compressed
asphalt without its drawbacks.

Getting Rid of stumps.

Getting Rid of Stumps.
Since the discovery of that region
constituting part of the present State
of Washington the fir stump has block
ed the progress of civilization west of
the Cascades, from Oregon to British
Columbia. Science has found ways
to span the States rivers, tunnel its
mountains and irrigate its deserts, but
until recently it has been unable to
cope with the fir stump. Bulky, firm
rooted in the earth, and SO saturated
with pitch that it will not decay, it
has defied everything but dynamite,
and that costs about SO stump, with
an equal amount to cover the expenses
of the donkey engine necessary to re-
move the roots when the main body
of the stump has been shattered.
Clearly such a costly process can not
be used for agricultural purposes in a
heavily timbered country.
Such was, the situation when, three
years ago, an enteEprising farmer con-
ceived the idea of burning out the
stumps by forced draft. :. After many
experiments he. finally got a horse
power donkey engine, attached "a g.
inch American blower, and over this
he fitted a tin case with twelve tubes
leading from it. To these he attached
pieces of garden hose and to the ends
iron pipe. Then he bored hole in
the stump, and. dropping in live
coal, inserted pipe and started the
engine In few moments the hole
was afiame, and soon dozen stumps
were blazing, although it was the wet
season and the monsters were sodden
with water.-Technical World.
