Farm Notes.

FhFn NOtCo.
Alfalfa ought to be grown where you
can know about 1t.
The proper use Of your time will
produce a good farmer.
Many farmers do not seem to un.
derstand the advantages of ventila-
tion.
A one-crop country is generally
poor country, especially for the small
farmer.
Every man who owns a farm is a
trustee for the nation for his small
property.
With large machines the work of
huskins and shredding corn is usually
custom work.
The price OF broomcorn fuctuates
rapidly, and sometimes unaccountably
between the margins Of profit and
loss
Forget that potatoes we're ever
planted in hills; level culture is much
better. Plant the tubers in deep fur
rows.
The shifting from wheat to corn
I'm some of what have been regarded
as especially wheat counties is very
noticeable.
Wellrotted manure is all right in
its place, but It has very little place
on farm; the process of rotting 1t Is
too wasteful, whatever the process
may be.
A practical rotation is to plant cow
peas in wheat or oats stubble, plow
the crop down before heavy frost
in the fall. and follow with corn the
next year.
DO not follow your grandfather's
custom OF planting beets, lettuce, on
ions and such vegetables in raised
beds. They dry out too quickly, as
well as being difficult to cultivate.
Farmers in all sections are pretty
well aroused over the necessity of
better seed wheat and corn. The
same enthusiasm should enter into
the Improvement of farm animals.
1t is not an easy matter to cure cow
pea hay; the vines, being so large,
cure slowly, and with unfavorable
weather the hay is apt to be badly in
jured, II not spoiled, before 1t Is cured
enough to stack.

rs Is so common with horse work.
And, besides, the harrows are under
more perfect control than are the
horses. The rig can be started and
stopped instantly. 1t goes along at
an even gait and never gets tired.
When hitched to the two drags, as
shown in the picture, II travels about
11s miles an hour, or two acres an
hour, on fairly level land. It does
this when the harrows are set down
to deepest notch. find that this
weight is not detrimental to the
ground, az harrows loosen It up per-
fectly behind the wheels But on new
ly plowed land more power is required
than on well-settled plowed land.

inch bottoms) running at seven inches
deep the machine will plow about 3A
acres a day We have used the
tractor at a score of other Jobs. and
wherever a good hard pull is wanted
II proves far superior to horses. for,
as said above II is more easily and
perfectly controlled, It doesn't get
weary, If something goes wrong 1t can
be repaired at once We don't have
to wait weeks, perhaps, for Il to get
well. The machine will also grind 80
or 40 bushels of feed an hour, a job
we usually put 1t at after supper
thereby getting more than ten hours
work day from it. We think the
machine will exceed animate power
on the farm as greatly as does the
automobile for road work We could
not think OF getting along without
1t now.

the Republican party is clearly re-
spOnsible. was one OF the burning is
sues ut the opening of the campaign,
and il is one of TIE ilvest problems
confronting the American people in
the closing hours of the struggle.
Though guilty of one mans part
for its responsibility Mr.. Slemp has
offered no remedy while the great
consuming mass of his constituents
are staggering beneath its crushing
burdens.
The comparative table given below
shows that during the last II years
the cost of living has Increased about
100 per cent.

and the responsibility is laid directly

This enormous and unreasonable in

of life has grown up under a tariff
system which has fostered and pro

country at the expense of the people,

THE BOMB" EXPLODED

The county was warned last week
to be on the lookout for a sensation
which the Democrats would spring on
the eve of election some sort of
charge against Mr.. Slemp, the pur-
pose of which would be "to offset the
effect of Mr. Stuart's aristocracy. -
Nobody ever denied, nor wishes to de
ny, that Mr.. Stuart is an aristocrat.
but his aristocracy is of character and
not of money, alone. What higher
compliment could you pay any man
than to say that he is a true aristo-
man Of high rank intellect
ually, morally and socially. There is
an aristocracy socalled money
without either character or morals
back of it which is hateful and dis
gushing, but this is not the Henry
Stuart brand. So far, no such bomb
as promised has been exploded.

why you voted to admit raw silk free

more than 40 cents a pound.

ate was not satisfactory to him; that
1t did not properly protect the indus
tries Of his district; that il violated

llcan party, and that he voted for il

pei, If all this is true, why he voted

Committee on Ways and Means
when he knew that this was his last
opportunity to amend it, in accord

An Appeal From The Cemetery
Association
Tazewell, Va, Oct. 81, 1910.

Dear Friend The ladies of the
Cemetery Association will hold their
Annual Bazaar on Saturday, Deem
Der 10. AS is well known, the object
of this Bazaar is to raise funds for
the benefit OF the Associations work
i'm caring for the cemeteries of the
town. What has already been done
speaks for itself. and need not be re-
counted here. The Association is now
confronted with new necessities, call
ing for additional expenditures of
money. 1t was found necessary TO buy
more ground adjoining Maplewood
Cemetery. This has been done, calling
for, of course, more money. Hereto
fore MIR. T. A. Repass has been at
tending to the sale of burial plots.
preparing deeds, etc, without charge.
Owing to pressure of work he can no
long2~ do this, SO hereafter a small
fee will have to be paid for this work
and the object of the Rummage Sale,
chiefly, is to raise money for this pur-
pose. This sale will be held on No
vember Is and 10. Everybody is ear
nestly requested to give wathever
they may have in the way of clothing
of all kinds, shoes or anything useful
which can be spared. Winter is com
ing on and there are many persons
among US who will be able to buv
needed clothes with very little money.
Please bare this in mind and save
something for the Rummage Sale.
The Association is grateful to Mr..
Repass for his efficient services so
willingly given without cost. We are
also greatly indebted to Dr. Witten
for generous help in special benefits
given us and to all friends who have
helped in the work heretofore. But
we must not slacken our efforts and
zeal now. There are new demands.
The work must not only be continued,
but enlarged as increasing needs de-
mand.
The ladies of the Cemetery Asso-
citation appeal to the public spirited
citizens of the community of all class
es to stand by them in this work of
love, and are encouraged to believe
that they will do so.
Respectfully,
MRS. J. II. STUART, President.

No buyer. so far 40 we can find out,
is offering % cents his week. There
is tariff of IL cents on wool, but
this protection does not seem TO
reach the farmers. Who gets the
money? Who is protected and taken
care of? Here is an explanation: The
report of the American Wooden Com
'pany, made last August, shows that
their income was a net Increase over
the year before. of $4,5IO. .354.
There is where the money went.
Wooden blankets, from this same
Tawezell wool has increased in price
% per cent. Clothing of all kinds.
and all wooden goods show an in
crease in price. This is protection on
one side. The trusts are protected, as
the Democrats have contended all the
time, at the expense of the farmer.
Last September year ago, wheat
was $1.2O. This September, 93 1-2
cents, oats, 48 cents, this year 81 ID
cents. Farm machinery, and every
thing the farmer buys, are selling
from so per cent to $50 per cent
more than they cost. The Payne AL
drich tariff bill is taxing the farmer
and consumer on everything they eat
and wear, or use in their homes or on
their farms. The farmers of the
country will have an opportunity next
Tuesday to register protest against
this iniquity. Will they do it?
