New Virginia Industry.

"They have been raising hogs on a
.ig scale, with great success and pro-
at, for years in New England and the
western states, and 1 intend doing the
same thing in the SOUTH" remarked
CHARLES A. Tucker, of Corbin Hall.
Mlddlesex county, Va, at the Belye-
dere.
Three years ago, being weary of
the New York grind, bought a his
toric old place of 1000 acres on the
Rappahannock, 16 miles from it's
mouth, that has been in. cultivation
for zoo years. On this old, rundown
farm I have an ideal spot for breed
ing swine, and this season will be able
to ship quite a number to market. It
takes capital, and skill, and a know
ledge of modern methods to make the
nog business pay, but men have done
1t in the north, and it can be done just
as well south of the Potomac.
THE old system of letting the pork
ers run out in the woods and root for
acorns forms no part of my plan.
Mine will be raised in glass-roofed
pens that will be kept as clean as a
parlor by constant washing, steaming,
and sterilization. The animals them
selves will be kept absolutely clean, so
as to minimize the danger of cholera,
the worst foe the breeder has to en-
counter. Their feed will be the best
grain, ground and cooked. This is
the intensive program, and by 1t a
25O-pound hog can be produced with
in ten months, or even earlier. My uf-
innate design is to raise 10000 each
year for market, and there will be no
trouble in disposing of them, for at
Smithfield alone the packers are will
ing to contract for four times that
number. 1 shall conf1ne myself to
producing animals of the finest breed,
my own preference being for the beau
tifu1 Y orkshires, of which I have at the
present time over 800 handsome spec
linens. baltimore American.

A Remarkable Russian Sect.

Among the numerous religious sects
in Russia, the most remarkable and in
fiuential are the Subbotniki or Saba
tarians. They first appeared in the
reign Of Catherine II. toward the end
of the eighteenth century. The members
of this sect practice the rite of circum-
cision, do not believe in Christ, accept
only the Old Testament, and observe
the Sabbath on Saturday. They also
slaughter cattle and fowls according to
the Jewish law, use praying shawls, and
wear zizit (fringes), praying with COW
cred heads from Hebrew prayer books
with a Russian translation. They are
Industrious, hospitable. and can read
and write. Up to 1920 they lived. for
the most part, in Moscow, Saratov,
Tula, Orel, etc. In the reign of Alex
ander they enjoyed freedom. Never
theless, the Russian clergy of Mohiley
killed about $50 Subbotniki and their
leaders. The son of one of the leaders
was tortured with hot irons, and then
burned at the stake. In the reign of
Nicholas I many wished to embrace
Judaism, and settled in the Pale of Set
Element (the Ghetto). but the govern
ment banished them to Siberia and
the Caucasus. The Subbotnii number

Pheasants and Generosity.

Your markets are all right" said
the Briton, amid the stalls of venison,
dollhouse peaches. turkeys, California
strawberries, black bear and Florida
corn. But our markets at this season
are full of pheasants. We've got you
there. For all their extravaganza. your
millionaires won't lay out the money
to preserve the birds, eh?"
The New Yorker laughed.
ooh, won't they?" said he. go over
to Long Island, go to the Seward
Webb place in Vermont. and you will
find as good coverts as any in Eng
land; as good shots, too, and as good
bags. Your English landlords sell
their pheasants after a shoot to mar
ketmen. Thus they get back some of
the breeding expenses. But our Amer.
lean land owners scorn such petty
economy. The pheasants shot on their
land are all given away to hospitals,
TO the poor, to tenants and to friends"

1T doesn't pay to raise chickens in

But why can't you eat the chick

Gould you. eat your canary or your
dog? No. And for much the same rea-
son you can't eat your chickens. For
they are pets, as dogs or canaries are.
You have raised them, they have
learned to know you, they have names
that they answer to, they follow you
about the yard-in a word, they like
you, and you like them
He shuddered.
Il remember when We killed and
stewed old Mary Jane. She had
stopped laying; she was long past that
stage; so we murdered her and tried
TO eat her. But we failed. We felt
like cannibals, like ghouls, when Mary
James mangled remains were set
smoking before us. Eat? Why, the

Hash.
He was passed

! Some people find fault when eating
hash because they don't know what is
In 1t. Such souls are simply trying to
dodge happiness: Would anybody ever
start upon a journey II they knew the
cars were going to leave the track; or
that the bridge was sure to collapse
No. indeed. Would lovers of hash ever
order that most toothsome Wand were
1t not for the delightful uncertainty
attached to 1.-THE compelling mystery
in which it is wrapped?
Why be wise when perfect happi-
ness lies in ignorance? Hash has stood
the test of time, and, whatever 1t Is
made Of. history has yet to place a
calamity at its door. Wine has caused
the head to rise above the church
steeples; pie has ruined the digestive
apparatus and hot biscuits have
brought the price Of nightmares downto
surprisingly low figure; but hash.
plain, regular, inoffensive hash, has
gone on down the ages and left moth
ing in it's wake but fond memory
and sweet taste in the mouth. Why
worry?

No Drums in the Middle Aaes.

AS we come to the Middle Ages,
when the nations Of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first. the drum was not used
at all. So, although melody had been
known and practiced for many CEN
turnes, rhythm had been quite forgot
ten. For what there is left TO us Of
the music of the Middle Ages contains
no bars, and we know that 1t was
slowly and monotonously chanted,
without the least accent
In the eleventh century, however,
things began to improve, more par
ticularly as the Crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts OF percussion instru-
ments from the east Various kinds
OF drums, tambourines and cymbais
were then seen in Europe for the first
time since the days of savages, and
they have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-St. Nicholas.

At One Shot.

A sportsman OF great imaginative
gifts and fond Of telling his exploits,
related that at one shot he had brought
down two cartridges and hare. His
explanation was that although he had
only hit one partridge the bird in fall

and brought that to earth entangled
In its claws. But how about the

INSPIRATION WAS HAPPY ONE.
Good Idea That Rescued Student frc n
a Serious Dilemma.

A student in one OF the theological
colleges found himself face to face
with an examination in Old Testament
history-a subject which he had en-
tirely ignored all term. Taking coun.
sci with some friends, he decided that
all he really needed to know was the
long list of the names of the kings
OF Israel and their dates. So he
crammed them each and all into his
bursting head. But, sad to relate, all
ne was asked to do was to criticise
the acts of Moses. Not one act Of
Moses, good, bad, or Indifferent, could
the unfortunate youth remember, so,
AFTER much thought, he wrote as fol.
lows: a...., t,....t -. -. -
Far be 1t for one sas' humble. as I
am to criticise the acts Of the great
Moses; but, If you would care to know

Graves hospital at GAS o'clock Thurs
day evening without having regained
consciousness.
1t was apparent to the physicians
and attentions at the hospital from
the first that her condition was cri-
lcal and death was not unexpected to
those about her. She was thrown out
of the vehicle she was driving with
great force and when taken to the
hospital there was a confusion on her
left temple that led the surgeon in
charge to believe that her skull was
fractured and that the blood which
bathed her face was from an inter-
nal hemorrhage, an Indication Of a
fatal wound.
Deceased was aged seventy-eigLt
years, three months and twenty-nine
days. She was a native OF Illinois
and had lived in this community for
about two years, but considerably
longer time in Colorado. She was
