Auton1o biIes Are Multiplying.

A dozen years ago there were on
| y about 900 automobiles in the
United States. Trade authorities
estim ate the number now in use at
about 100000. 1t is further estl-
mated that the number will be
nearly if not quite doubled within
q year.
If the recently published state
ment of the general manager of the
American Motor Car Manufacturers
Association is correct, the automo-
bile industry already represents a
larger investment of capital than
does the manufacture of horse
drawn vehicles and an output val
ue little if at all less than the value
of the yearly product OF carriages
and wagons. About 5000 estab-
lishments manufacture some ,6OO,-
600 vehicles annually, including
family and pleasure carriages, pub
lie conveyances, and wagons OF var
ious kinds used in city and coun-
try. These concerns represent a
capital investment of S126, 800, 600
Census of 1909, with value of pro-
duct reported as a little more than
100000. The authority here
quoted gives the value of the auto
mobiles produced and to be pro-
duced this year as mot less than
$3.50, 100000"
The same authority declares that
$50 necessary has the automobile
become in the United States that
there wos little or no falling off in
the trade during the recent depres-
sion, while the business of this year
is better than it has ever BEEN"
He declares that There is a con-
tinually increasing demand for
commercial vehicles and nosindica-
ton of any slackening in the call
for pleasure cars" The farmers
are buying autos Of the buggy type
in increasing numbers" and the
doleful "honk" is heard in the ag-
ricultural byways.
The rapid development of the
automobile business is one of the
industrial phenomena of the times.
Within ten years the number of car
makers has increased from % to
more than $50, and export sales
for the fiscal year just closed were
not far from S., 100000. - New

COLTS WELL.FLESHED.

One thing that the good FARMER
" atches in the fall is the condition
of the colts. Too often good colts
lose the chance for a satisfactory
seasons growth because they are
not given proper attention in the
fall. Many animal winters a half
easier if it goes into the winter dry
feeding period in good condition.
The colt that goes into the winter
thin is going to stay skinny all win
ter and of course he isn't going to
grow much unless special attention
and feed are given him and that
means time and money. It's a loss
to allow a colt or any other animal
to get thin at any time. 1t takes
more good high-priced grain to get
flesh back on him than it would to
keep two like him for the same
time. provided they are in good
condition at the start. And be-
sides, colt that has been allowed
to become thin and the growth of
which has been checked. will never
make the horse that he would if he
had been kept growing from the
time it was born until he became a
mature work horse. And fall is
the dangerous time. At this time
pasture is liable to become short
and the colt gets start down hill
which the change to dry winter
feed does not tend to check. The
change from pasture to winter feed
is always noticeable in colt and
particularly so if the colt is thin. A
little watching and aid in the way
of green feed or grain in the fall
will keep the colt growing the way
he should and at the same time
have a direct influence upon the
condition of the farm purse.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Charcoal has great value as an
antiseptic. Smoked ham will keep
for years packed in charcoal. A
few Jumps of it in a cistern will
keep the water pure and sweet. A
quantity of it in cellar will absorb
the odors, and a small lump boiled
with cabbage or onions will do the
same. Butter put into small YES
sells completely surrounded with
charcoal will keep sweet q long
time. A paste of powdered char
coal and honey makes good den
trifce. 1t not only cleans the
teeth, but also disinfects them and
sweetens the breath Taken in
wardly it is good for the digestion
and relieves constipation Home

Medical experts are interested IN
the case of l9-year-old Audrey Will
son, of Nottoway county, who Is
totally blind in the day but can see
like q cat in the dark. The young

only to vaguely distinguish any OBJ

HOOFS.

| Az 40 tOuOViNOo W WYNN
lack of understanding of the anato-
my of the structure underlying the
horny wall of the hoof that so much
cutting, rasping, burning, mailing
and other abuse of the structure is
carried on. The hoof is not all
horn and the sooner it is generally
understood that within the thin
walled outer box of horn there are
wonderfully sensitive blood and
nerve endowed tissues and working
parts bearing an intimate adap-
tation, one with the other,
the better will it be for the horse.
In the normally developed foot OF
the unshod colt the horny box or
boot fits the inner foot perfectly.
There is no pinching or squeezing
anywhere, and the hoof gives per-
feet ground bearing and support to
the leg, while serving to prevent
undue conclusion from contact
with the ground. The large, elias
tic, insensitive outer frog, under
laid by a fatty frog, serving as a
cushion to prevent i'll effects from
conclusion, bears upon the ground.
The heels are wide, the bars strong
and full, the sole somewhat con-
cave, and the walls smooth, free
from grooves, ridges, cracks, wrln-
kles and brittleness, and showing
exterior varnish and evidence OF
healthy oiliness of the horn tissues.
Many things in connection with
shoeing may cause lameness. They
may be enumerated as follows:
Rasping away the outer varnlsh
layer of the hoof; cutting out the
old horn of the sole and so allowing
the imperfectly formed new horn to
become exposed; cutting the frog;
cutting out the bars; opening the
heels by cutting a deep notch on
each side of the frog; keeping red
hot shoes too long in contact with
the denuded soul; inattention to
proper resetting of the shoes; keep
ing the horse too-much confined
upon a dry board floor; depriving
the horse of the necessary luxury
of run at pasture; improper feed
ing and management; ard lastly,
the frequent application of strong,
drying hoof- dressing substances.
Treatment should consist in as
early as possible re-establishing ma
tural conditions in the environment
of the horse. Everything possible
should be done to improve the gen.
eral health of the horse and he
should be fed for the perfect repair
of his tissues. That means plenty
of oats and bran. Then he should
have an opportunity to 60 on pas
ture, but when this cannot be done
his hoofs should be soaked in cold
water frequently, and on removal
should be smeared with any simple,
non-stimulating hoof dressing. H.

RAILROAD STARTS A TEST FARM

kAlLkUAU OlAhlD a ILol 'Ahh
The announcement that an ex-
detrimental farm is to be establish
ed at Bacon, Del, by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad for the benefit OF
the farmers of the Delaware PENN
sula, extending through the States
of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia,
| is an item of the utmost import
ance not only to the agrlculturlsts
of the Eastern shore, but to the
farming and the transportation in
terests of the entire country and to
the public generally, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. President James
McCrea, always attentive and wise
ly active in promoting the produc-
ton of tonnage and the creation Of
traffic for the great system commit
ted to his care, it is said, visited
this peninsula, generally known
as the Eastern shore, and noticed
but about one-half of the acreage
was under cultivation and knew
that the cities of the country were
pressing in their demands for great
er supplies of the very articles
these idle acres would proftably
produce.
The land for this experimental
and educational farm has been pur-
chased by the railroad company
and a superintendent of ability has
been appointed who will demon
strate the latest and best methods
of cultivation for the farmers of
the peninsula.
With a present population of
nearly 100000 people it is deem
ed possible to double it in a few
years through proving the produc-
tive qualities of the soil and the
great profits to be derived from the
improved cultivation. The railway
company is setting an example to
all the other railway lines of the
country and through it's facilities
for including a more dense popula-
ton in the farming sessions it builds
UP its own traffic and renders a
most important and valuable SER
vice to the country in thus lessen
ing the congestion of population in
the cities and providing additional
food products for those who dwell
in them.
There are probably fair profits to
railway trunk lines in transporting
settlers from the eastern coast to
the far West, but if those thus
transported were proftably employ
ed on the lands adjacent to the
lines which transport them the
profits from their labor to the rail-
ways which carry them away would
be 1000 per cent. greater in the
course of five years. Another home
established in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, another SO acres OF
land put under cultivation in either
of the three States is far better for
the States and far more profitable
| to the railways of those states than
| the mere transportation of 100 per-
sons to the far Western country.
The Eastern and middle Western
states posses uncultivated lands,
today that could. yield profit to
| 100000 more farmers and the
| productions of these lands would
furnish the railway companies of
the sections named with millions
of tons of additional freight. Well
done, Pennsylvania railroad! Let
the good work be extended all
along the lines.
