Mr. Moss wins flrst prils.

Mr.. George H. Moss, Of Rurkes Gar
den, was one of the successful axhibi-
tors at Madison Square Garden this
week. He won first prize on White
Holland toms and second on hens. This
is Mr.. Moss first trial at Madison
Square and is quite compliment to
him as q breeder of pure bred poultry.
At this show the strongest competitors
in the United States are always on
hand, and to win as low as fourth and
fifth prize there is as great distinction
as swimming first at the Smaller State
shows.

The Williams Matter,

The controversy over the return of
Attorney General-elect Samuel W. Will
hams. Of this State, to West Virginia
to stand trial for felonious assault up
on Judge Joseph NJ. Sanders at Welch,
IL Mcdowell county, last September,
has been settled for the time being.
This was brought about by assurances
on the part of Governor Swanson and
attorneys representing Judge Williams
that he would voluntarily return to West
Virginia at the next term of the Nc
Dowell county criminal court for trial.
With these assurances on the part of
Virginia's chief executive and Judge
WiIlisms' attorneys the West Virginia
authorities agreed to withdraw the
requisition papers which were sent to
Governor Swanson early IN December
calling for the extradition of the Attor-
ney General-elect. The criminal court
al WEIGH win convene next week, and
the Williams case has been set for hear
ing on the 18th instant, and it will be
watched with deep interest by the peo-
pie of this entire section. 1t is under
stood that Judge Williams, win be de-
fesded by Mccormick, Henson & Broun,
ef Roanoke, aud E. L. Bibb, Of Louisa,
while Prosecuting Attorney Smith, Of
Mcdowell, will be assisted by some of
the ablest legal talent in Southern West
Nirginis, and the trial gives promise of
being one of the most hotly contested
eases with which the court has had to
DEL In years.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Wood ashes are too valuable to
waste. They are good for garden,
lawn or orchard.
Get busy with the saw and pruning
shears and clean out every dead and
cankered branch.
There is no fruit which bears more
abundantly and more regularly each
year than the grape.
Often young trees are spoiled by
being wind-broken. The ground must
be packed firmly around them.
Make the orchard a business ven
ture and keep an account of everything
pertaining to its interests
Do not cultivate late in the season
or the sap will keep the wood from
hardening before winter
Begin with the first year and train
the tree to the shape desired. leav-
ing only such branches as will be re-
tanned later on.
The Ben Davis continues to be a
favorite, but only in the large cities
where thousands do not know what
good apple Is
Many of these farm orchards, we are
sorry to note, have been so badly
broken down and devastated by care
lessness that they are really a dis
grace to the roadside view upon the
farm.
One secret of getting flowers from
potted plants is to let get ot-bound.
When plant can no longer keep on
growing, it turns its energies toward
producing flowers.
Do not spare the ak and saw in the
old orchard when you find it blow
ing to pieces, for many trees might
be saved if the heavy growth were re-
moved in order that the wind cannot
get purchase upon the tops and
break them TO pieces

IRRIGATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
area OF Great karoo, in Cape Colony.
Subject of Thorough Investiga-
ton for Water.

All over the civilized world atten.
ton is being concentrated upon the
best methods of irrigation. The pro-
ductivity of the planet and its conse-
quent ability to support life are thus
gradually increased in a way that
would hardly have been deemed pos
slble a generation ago. There are
great areas, hitherto regarded as little
better than deserts, which scientific
study has proved to possess nearly all
the elements of productivity except
water and in most cases the water
can be provided. One of these areas
which has only just been the subject
OF thorough investigation is the Great
Karoo, in Cape Colony. Although a
dry region. it possesses a very rich
soil and dams are being built for the
storage Of rain water, special meth
DDS OF cultivation are used to dimin-
ish the loss of water by evaporation
and the influence of forests is being
studied with regard to their effects on
the water supply.

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food

Do farmers eat the proper sort Of food Z
The farmer of today buys a much
larger proportion of the food that goes
On the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is so because
he has great variety to select from.
He should, however, use great care
in selecting for the best results in
health and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker Oats
eaten is due very largely to the recent
demonstrations by scientific men that
the Quaker Oats fed man is the man
with greatest physical endurance and
greatest mental vigor.
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by
themselves, their children and the
farm hands. 81

Apropos of love stories in general,
Jerome s. McWade. the wellknown
Duluth connoisseur, said at recent
dinner:
AT the approach of Valentine day
last year l offered prize OF five dol
lars to the little boys of my Sunday
school class for the best short love
story. I have one of the stories here,
and am going to read it to you"
Mr. McWade then read:
"A poor man fell in love with lady
whose mother was a rich toy dealer.
"The poor man could not marry the
rich lady, because he had no money.
"A villain then offered him $50 II he
would become drunkard.
The poor man wanted the money to
get married with, SO he agreed, but
when he got to the beer saloon he
said
"No, l will not become a drunkard,
even for great riches
ION the way home he found a bag
of gold So the young lady married
him. 1t was splendid wedding, and
the next day they had twins.

Manurinq Pastures.

BY manuring pastures in winter
the grass is protected from the bad
effects of freezing and thawing, and
the fertility which should be lost by
allowing the manure to lie in stables
or lots is absorbed by the soil, ready
to feed the grass roots with the com.
ing of growing weather. Grass seed in
the manure will help to reseed the
