Early Tobacco Prices High.

RICHMOND, Va, September MANY
of the tobacco markets OF Virginia and
Of the Carolinas have had their opening
sales for the present tobacco season and
quite number of them report that the
early prices were higher than even the
farmers had hoped for.
However. SO far only the poorest order
of the advanced leaf has been offered.
such as is known as primings. In the
Virginia markets these primings are of
the black to the half bright order and
in North and South Carolina they are al
together bright. Prices on primings vary
according to locality and according to
color and the uses they may be pub to.
They bring all the way from 81 to Sc per
100 pounds.

there is any law at all for the power or
authority claimed and exercised"
Judge Baker finds there is law for the
commissions action and adds:
IF Congress cannot cOnStitutionally
make a general declaration that the rates
shall be reasonable and not unjustly dis
criminatory, and then trust an executive
body to hear evidence and decide ques-
tons of fact respecting reasonableness
and just discrimination. the power of
Congress over rates would be worthless"
1t is maintained by the commission and
will be maintained before the Supreme
Court that once the rates between two
widely separated points are fixed on a
reasonable basis, the adjustment of In
termediate rates and the rates to locali-
ties affected by the original order Of the
commission necessarily must be worked
out by the railroads themselves.

Banker Must Pay Taxes.

CHARLESTON. w. Va. September T.
Judge Keller of the federal court has
upheld the state law relative to the as
sessment of banks when he entered an
order dismissing the suits of three ma
tional banks of Charleston, which had Sc
cured injunctions to prevent the collec-
ton of taxes on the ground that the
law was in conflict with the federal
statutes. The point raised by the banks
was that the law did not permit the
stockholders to deduct from their stock
the amount they might owe as principal
debtor. as is the custom with. other Sc
curities. The banks agreed to pay the
taxes and stop their fight. The law was
recently upheld by the state supreme
court.

Neat Packing Houses.
Neat little packing houses stand on
either side of the track, the entire length
OF the Pumpkin Vine road. and are
equipped for canning peas, beans, toma-
toes. berries and other fruit, as we'll as
making dried apples. Enormous quanti-
ties OF peas are canned and shipped.
The farmers sow them like wheat, NOW
them like hay, stack them on a wagon,
haul them to the cannery, put them
through thrashing machine they call
'viner," which hauls the peas and lets
them run off into bin. while the vines
away and burned. From the bins the
peas are conveyed by a miniature ele-
yator to the cannery, are grated into
different sizes by being passed through
over by women and girls, who remove the
imperfect ones and foreign matter The
peas are then allowed to run into large
collenders and are immersed In hot water
until they are boiled. They are then
passed through a strip and poured into
cans which are closed and sealed auto
matically.
Everything is done by machinery. From
the time they are planted until they are
boxed and shipped to market the peas
are not touched by the hand except when
the girls look them over to pick out the
imperfect ones.
This year the apple crop will be very
short, not more than 20 per cent of the
average, on account of a heavy frost in
May, which killed the buds; but prices
will be high, perhaps 80 per cent above
normal. so that the orchard men will not
lose very much money. Every other year,
or at least one year in three there is a
short crop. This is invariable, and APP

the trees vacation. There seems to be
no other explanation. Last year the crop
was very large, and the quality was fine,

short season: but the frost was unprece-
dented in severity, and extended over
large area of Washington, Oregon. Utah
and Idaho It was the first time an apple
crop has ever been injured in that way,
and people say that 1t will be the last.
They are already preparing for future
protection.
Products Are Saved.
It is said that 5000 cars of fruit GOO
bushels to the car, were saved in the
Grand valley of Colorado last spring by
the use of "smudge pots"-lttle pots of

are filled with oil and supplied with

SELECTING THE
DAIRY SIRE.

There is much in the statement that
the bull is half the herd. especially if
it is the purpose of the farmer to raise
his desirable heifer calves, and the sue
cessful dairymen cannot afford to do
otherwise.
The bull should be selected with con-
siderable care, writes Professor Charles
Fl. Alvord in Farm and Ranch. Regis
tration papers are valuable because
they show the ancestry of the animal,
and if in this ancestry there are found
animals that have made good dairy
records it may be reasonably expected
that the calves secured from this sire
will be of superior merit. IT, on the
other hand, the ancestry Of the animal
does not include animals of exception
al merit it would indicate that little
would be gained by his use, and search
should be continued until more de-
sirable animal is found.
The bull is supposed to get his dairy
prepotency from his dam and his
grandams ON both the maternal and
paternal sides. so we should first look
carefully to his mother, as it is quite
probable that the calves from him, if
he is prepotent along dairy lines, will
inherit undesirable as well as desirable
characteristics from her. She should
in every way be desirable type of
dairy COW. capable of producing large
amounts of milk and butter fat. and
be strong and vigorous and possess a
good appetite She should carry good
udder. and the teats should be of good
size and evenly placed. This is of great
Importance, especially in those breeds
of cattle such as the Jerseys and Ayr
shires. where the cows are somewhat
inclined to have small teats The rudi-
mentary teats on the bull should also
be examined They should be of good
size and placed forward of the scrotum
and well separated. 1t is considered
undesirable to find these rudimentary
teats on the bull located on the scro-
tum.
The desirable bull should be of good
size for the bread and strong and ac-
tive He should possess a thin, soft
skin, covered with short. velvety hair,

there should be more of them, neces-

should come in from the outside near
the sills and into the barn from under

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. Ii suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness: when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Residents of this
vicinity are constantly testifying to
permanent cures.
August Ballerstedt of Swedesboro, N.
j., says: For long time suffered from
kidney trouble and my health became all
run down. ! felt tired and worn out and
had backache all the time. When Doan' s
Kidney Pills were brought to my notice,
| commenced their use and to my delight,
they helped me at once. My kidneys soon
began to do their work pro- erly' and the
result was that every symptom of kidney
trouble disappeared Two boxes of Doan S
Kidney Pills made me well and in return,
/ am glad to recommend them"

THE WEAK SPOT.
The Lecturers Program Is the Inn

Especial Correspondence
The weak spot in the grange and
grange work today, if there be one. is
the lack Of appreciation among its
members and by the general public of
its great achievements and it's greater
possibilities.
So great, so prominent and so entire
ly satisfying are its fraternal and So
cial features that the members often
and are content in knowing that they
are enrolled In one of the greatest if
not the greatest fraternal organiza tions
of the present time and accept the
pleasures of membership without suffi-
cient thought as to what that men,
bership means. and thus also the pub
lie looks upon it from the same view
point This feeling is often intensi-
fed by the lecturer sent out by the
state grange, who in his desire to be
entertaining spends his effort in
pleasing or witty address, which,
pleasant to hear, does not fill the
minds of his hearers with knowl-
edge of or desire to advance the
great moral, intellectual and patriotic
principles for which the grange really
stands; hence the greatest weakness
of the grange is in the program either
of the local lecturer or the state officer
or representative that it does not con-
tain enough solid matter. enough of
uplift, enough of what makes the
farmer a greater student. better
neighbor. more patriotic citizen.
Grange members should realize and
the public should know that no organ
Ization has so written itself into the
best history of our country ass the
grange This should not be satisfying.
but an incentive to greater accomplish
ments which lie within the present
and future opportunities of our order.

of cattle that cannot be distinguished

Horse Values Keeping Up.
The Western Horseman says: Horse
values in the country, right out in the
farming and horse breeding districts,
are but little short of prohibitive, the
purchase of nice driver, carriage
horse or farm team requiring a 'roll
of money the like of which few
years ago would have answered fol
first payment on a good quarter sec
lion farm And yet some brood mare
owners say they cant pay the price
to breed to good. fair stations. Think
of it-horses higher than they ever
were; the country well supplied with
really classy stations. many of them
superbly bred and with race records
all the way from 2:20 to 2:05, stand
ing at SIS and $50, and yet some
many brood mare owners complain
that they cannot afford to patronize
good stations.
Speedy Horses Wanted.
The manager Of one of the largest
horse selling establishments in the
United States says that one of the no
ticeable effects of the introduction of
automobiles has been to greatly in
crease the demand for speed in the
fashionable carriage horse.
"People get used to going fast in
their cars" he says. "and when the.
come to buy coach horses they ali
want a bit of step-a good bit, | may
say. Next to conformation it's the first
thing they look for. If horse can't
step away the dealer is wasting time
to show him in most cases, for the Gus
toner won't buy. Snowy action was
the main thing only a few years ago,
but get there seems to be the watch
word with everybody now. OF course
the best horse is and always has been
the one that combines speed and ac-
ton, but speed comes first"
Back to the Horse.
Two large New York department
stores have recently decided to discard
the auto for delivery work and have
ordered horses suitable for this pur
pose The animals are being purchased
in the middle west. This is due. it is
said. to the fact that the managers of
the delivery departments of these two
big stores have found that automo-
biles are not only more expensive to
maintain. but that they have lost the
advertising power they had when that
service was inaugurated. There was a
time when the automobile was a nov.
city and when the New Workers would
"sit up and take notice. when an auto
delivery wagon appeared on the
streets. Now no more attention is paid
to it than to the street cars. On the

ACTIVE CAMPAIGN TO
USE VOTING MACHINES
Councilman DromgoId VIII Save
Money for City if S. p. Gives
Him Chance

Before his term of office expires, the
first of the year, Councilman Dromgold
expects to begin an active crusade to
put the city's voting machines to good
use. He declares there is no reason
why they should not be used, except
that the Southern Pacific organization
is afraid of the machines because they
will have no opportunity to fix" the
vote in the different precincts.
The machines, says Dromgold, can
be used at any of the bond elections
or any other election where only a few
subjects or candidates are on the
ticket, without any alteration, and
their use will reduce the election ex-
penses by more than half. With a
cheap mechanism, Dromgold declares
the machines can be made to accom-
modate 400 candidates and questions.
His enthusiasm for the project gained
him the craftsmanship of a voting ma
chine committee appointed. yesterday
by President Pease. The other mem
bers of the committee are Lyon and
Clampitt.
The first duty of this committee will
be to find a storage place for the ma
chimes the city owns. The county au-
move the city's machines from the
room they occupy N the cour' house.
The county is moving its machines into
the basement of the county Jail, and
the council believes that space can be
found for the city's machines in the
same place.
