Republicans of Virginia are to meet

nominate candidates for governor and
other state officers to be voted for at

the head of the ticket.
Rear Admiral Edwin K. Moore,

The city of Bath, famous as the re-

week of an historical pageant which
promises to eclipse in brilliance all of
the similar spectacles that have been
held in England during the past few
years. For Americans the celebration
at Bath has been given added inter
est by the invitation extended by the
English city to all of the cities and
towns in the United States bearing
the same name to send representa-
tives to the pageant. There are more
than a dozen cities and towns in the
United States of the name of Bath
and several of them have accepted
the invitation.
Washington will follow with close
interest the proceedings of the Co.

republic report a very critical condi-
ton of affairs there. AS the result of
the hurried departure of President
Reyes for Europe, the various politi-
cal parties, which few months ago
seemed to be united, are now COM
pletely disorganized, and there are in
dicstions that Colombia is on the
verge of a great revolution.

COUNSEL IS ENGAGED
Union Christian Army obeyed Order
of Houston Mayor to Cease Street
Preaching, But Will Fight.

Houston, Texas, July ,16.-Prelimi-
nary measures against the street
preaching organization known as the
Union Christian Army were taken to-
day when Mayor Rice gave instruc-
tons to the police department that
the army should not be permitted to
hold services on the streets. Off
GERS of the organization were notified
to that effect and the warning was
needed tonight, at least. Their meet
ing place at the corner of Main and
Prairie was noticeably quiet tonight,
but the army has retained counsel and
does not intend to abandon the field
without a fight. Chief of Detectives
Kessler this morning submitted a re-
port to Chief of Police Ellis on the
Union Christian Army and it was this
report that caused Mayor Rice to pro-
hibit further operations in Houston
on the part of the army. Mayor Rice
stated today that he had not finally
decided whether the members of the
organization must leave the city. He
said that he would hear their side of
the case.

BERKSHIRES \ GOOD BREED

The Berkshire hog has been bred

breed of swine. The breed is TO-DAY
acknowledged to be the best general
purpose hog.

There is no brand that will breed so
true to the marking characteristic of
the breed as the Berkshire. and they
are rightly named the aristocrats of
the show ring.
The improved Ferkshires of h
present day are q we'll established

valuable qualities, among which are
the following:

There are three principal varieties

ancse is a much larger grained variety
than the Silver Hull and usually
yields more bushels per acre.
h Silver Hull is a much plumper
grained variety and weighs several
pounds per bushel heavier than the
Japanese variety.
About one bushel is the right
amount to SOW per acre, drilled in with
$50 to 200 lbs. per acre of a good
grade fertilizer.
A superphoshate gave best results
for money invested, but other fertili-
zers may give better results on other
soils. The Weld varies from 10 t. 40
bushels per acre.

dries, then it is usually threshed With

When the colt is a few DAYS old /
nut a strong, pliable halter on its mead,
but never try to lead it at first, sim
ply put the halter on every day untll
it does not car for 1t.
After the colt is thoroughly accus-
toned to the halter put a rope on the
halter and pull just a little and he
viii soon learn to come when YOU pull
on the rope.
When leading hin around out Of
doors held to the chin piece of the
halter SO as to keep him from rearing
up, as h Will likely do.
l believe in teaching colts to wear
harness very young. OF course it
should be very light harness.
At weaving time put a strong halter
on the colt; tie him to the mango and
watch him so as to teach him not to
break loose. If he pulls back speak
kindly to him and pat him and he will
soon quit and stand quietly.
When he is broken to stand hitched
put lines on him, but walk at his
shoulders at first so as to keep him
from getting frightened. Every time
YOU take him out walk further back
until YOU can walk behind him and
teach him to turn back at your voice.
Drive the colt around the house and
barn, showing him papers drive him
through water. show him umbrellas,
and in fact, most everything that he
is likely to see when travelling around
so he Will not be afraid of them when
he becomes grown.
When about one year old the regular
single harness may be put on the colt.
Leave i, on him for a few hours so
as to get him used to the and
speak to him gently and take the har-
ness off. pulling the backband all the
way town to the tail gently and then
he will not be afraid of it.
When the colt is quite Young teach
him to stop and start at your COM
mand and then when he is first put
in harness TO work he will know what
YOU mean when you want him to stop
or start.
When he IS first hitched UP teach
him to back up before going down hill,
so he Will know what the b~reeching is
for.
When the colt is properly handled
in its young la it IS never half as
much trouble as when let go until it
is old enough to work before beinG

always be more gentle than they
would be otherwise.
