7 on the farm, nor how, from an eco
nomic standpoint, other interests of
the farmer may be prejudiced by it,
but he knows that there is a large
profit in the sheep industry, and is
certain of this from his own knowl-
edge, and from the experiences of
this and many successful sheep grow
ers in this and adjoining States with
whom he has conferred, and exam
ined their figures as to costs and re-
suits. We all know that climatic and
soil conditions favor us largely in
the direction of sheep growing to adj
vantage. If we take the States Of
Virginia, West Virginia and North
| Carolina into consideration, we find
that sheep can be fed with less eX-
pense than probably in any other
States in this country, and that lambs
can be fitted for market at a much
earlier date than it is possible for the
Western States to accomplish. there
by securing the highest prices, for
which lambs are sold in the early
spring. The woods from the three
States mentioned, especially the first
two. have attained a high reputation
with manufacturers because of their
light condition, and this is proven by
the fact that Virginia and West Vir-
GINA woods are to-day sold at as high
prices as any American woods which
go to market. The writer is prompted
to bring these facts to the attention Of
the farmers in the several States with
the view of having them take a larger
interest in sheep husbandry, and Of
promoting the wool industry in this
section. Nature has favored us in
every respect, and if we fail to be en-
terprising enough to take advantage
of the conditions, which naturally are
placed before us, then we must surely
be lacking in progressive spirit. We
should have more sheep, more lambs,
and more wool, and we do not doubt
that any farmer who has a flock of
fifty or more sheep, and keeps a rec
ord of costs and receipts, will readily
ascertain the large profits that he is
getting out of his sheep, and'the i'm
provement of the land, which sheep
invariably produce. We are farming
scientifically along other lines, and
we mus, care for sheep in the proper
way to get the best results, and we
should endeavor in the several States
in this section to promote the sheep
industry, and use those methods Of
caring for sheep and keeping them
in good condition that are applied in
the Middle-Western States to good adj
vantage. I write this article with
the view of bringing about an agita-
ton on sheep and wool growing, and
I believe that it would be a good plan,
at no far-distant day, to endeavor to
bring together in a large meeting,
say in the city of Richmond, all Of
those who feel an interest in the pro-
motion Of sheep ~husbandry, thereby
exchanging views, and probably form
ing an association to be known as the
Sheep Growers Association, and en-
deavor through this meeting to ac-
complish like results to those which
have been brought about by fruit
growers and other farm industries,
which are of no greater Importance
than u sheep industry.-Jos. Wal

WHY Not a Good Roads laboratory

The problem of maintaining good
reads, always a most important one
in the United States, has recently
been rendered of critical urgency by
the rapid development OF the automo-
bile-the most destructive vehicle to
road surface that eve a on our
modern highways. The public resent
ment or regret. as the case may be,
against the destructive effects Of all
tomobile traffic should DO tempered
by the recognition Of the fact that it
has been the most active instrument
in awakening the public to the neces-
sity for abandoning the old slipshod
methods of road building. and con-
structing them according to the best
engineering practice.
If it were possible to rebuild all
our roads of the most approved and
highest class of construction. and if
the most suitable material were every
where available, the problem would
be greatly simplifed, but such uni
form excellence is impossible, both
because Of the cost and of the diff
Guilty of finding the ideal materials
within economical hauling distance
of the work. In n country of such
wide extent and such varied gcologi-
cal formation as the United States,
the question of the best kind Of roads
to build in any locality must be de-
termined largely by the local condt-
tions-the climate, particularly as re-
CARDS the amount and distribution Of
the rainfall; the nature Of the UNDER
lying soil, its bearing quality, capac-
ity for quick drainage, etc, and above
all, the character Of the materials
available for road building, must all
enter into the problemi
The French engineers, with their
characteristic the oughness, have long
recognized the Importance and COM
plezity of the good roads problem,
and nearly half a century ago they
commenced that careful investigation
which is still being carried on by a
force of trained experts. The anal
ytical study of the subject, which was
set on foot by NJ. Buffet, Engineer Of
Roads and Bridges, as far back as
1865, has developed into the present
municipal laboratory; which has so
greatly extended its field of work,
that to-day it is considered by many
to be the finest in existence. At the
date mentioned, apparatus was in
stalled for testing the resistance of
paving materials to wear by friction;
which was followed by a machine for
testing the resistance to abrasion OF
the stone used in Macadamn roads.
The laboratory also includes means
for artifcially producing those condi-
tions and forces of a climatic char
acter which tend to break up and de-
stroy road surfaces.
Now here, it seems to us, is a plan
which might, very well be followed in
this country by the founding of a ma
tional good roads laboratory, say at
Washington, which might cooperate
with similar but smaller institutions
provided for and controlled by the
various State legislatures. The cost
of carrying on such institutions would
represent but a moderate percentage
of the money that is annually thrown
away on the construction and So
called repair of highways by the pres
ent defective methods. Scientific

Showing How Plants Feed.

In the South only the first few
inches of soil is stirred and the crops
feed neal the surface, resulting in
quick soil depletion. Roots seek
food. When ground is plowed deep
plant food is made available to the
depth loosened, and the roots go
deep, supporting the plant we'll and
furnishing an abundance of nourish-
ment.
