PECULIAR VALUE OF \ DAIRY
SIRE.

Raising the neifer calves Of good.
hig~n-producing COWS. is a great fun
d~afnental requisite for the best and
easiest Improvement of a dairy herd.
But those calves viii take their
qualities from both parents, and it is
equally important that each calf
should have good p~arentage on the
male side. But an inspection of many
dairy herds VIII show that
lively little attention IS paid to the
quality of the sire.
[ have too often seen herds in
which the heifer calves We're raised
for future COWS. but in which the
bulls used were N jserahie little scrub
and weakiings, obtained by simply
saving a grade calf from the herd.
And Of many other Sfres, fairly
good as individuals, nothing is known
OF the actual milk production Of their
female ancestors.
There are, as ! view it, two princi-
pal reasons for this. One IS that un-
der the custom Of selling the calves
for veal it does not make much diff
feernce about thei rbreeding. But az
this custom must be changed by sue
cessful dairymen and the best heifer
calves raised for COWS, it becomes
necessary to provide good sires.
But nOther great reaSOn IS that
the p~ure-bred sire costs more money.
Underlying both these is the funda-
mental reason that many ~dairymen
do not vet realize the wonderful i'm
provement that can be wrought by a
good head of the herd.-R. b. K.

THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF
THE RURAL SCHOOLS.
CHigh Point Enterprise

The editor OF the Enterprise had
the pleasure yesterday OF taxing a
trip through the country about $50
miles, traversing the counties of Gull

but after all it is plain that tho future
wealth OF the State is in the soil. In
these counties named and over the
route We took there is evidence of
prosperity on all sides. The farmers
are improving their farms. their
homes, building better roads and rails
ing better stock. There is a good
feeling throughout the rural districts
and the average farmer is holding his
head high. One farmer at Summer
field. with whom We talked, told US
that he had just been offered $50 an
acre for 400 acres Of land. When we
asked him if he would sell, he gave
rs a significant look and said II it
Is worth that to any one else it is
worth it 70 me" HIS 400 acres OF land
will pay him more than the inter
est on the $4,000. and he says il is
getting better every year.
The uthboun railroad almost
parallels the county road from Lex
ington to Waughtown. All of this
grading between these two points has
practically been completed and the
work of finishing the culverts is now
going on. At some OF the stations the
citizens are already selling town lots,
and some Of them are no larger than
those sold in large towns. There seems
20 be = spirit of great anticipation
along the entire route backed up by
the building Of stores and houses.
But the object OF this item IS to
call your attention to the great ad-
vances being made in the rural dis
tricts. Go out and see what a trans
formation is taking place.

LEAVING THE FARM.

It is a sad day for some old people
when they wide their farms. break
I'D their homes and delule them
selves into the notion that warm wei
come and happy days await them IN
the homes of their children. The wei
come generally wears out. or the old
folks soon feel tina it does and the
Independence that goes with owner
ship and full control yanishes IN the
mists of woe.
We have in mind a good couple
who once lived near us. They con
verted their property into cash, went
to live with their children, and put
their money into business ventures IN
which visionary sons-in-law were in
tereSted.
Time after time they moved to keep
near these children and grand chll-
dren. and the nearer they got to the
en,I of their financial rope the more
frigid became their welcome. Today
thev are penniless, homeless and &c
enden upon the bounty Of men VINO
are not bound to them by the ties OF
blood.

PEA VINES AS A BY-PRODTCT.

IN the early history Of e canning
the pea vines were treated as a waste
product, the disposal of which in
volved considerable difficulty n ex-
pense. Most commonly they were
thrown out in piles to rot. the re-
sulting manure being used for fer

During recent years, h pea vines
have risen to the dignity OF a by
product, from which the factories de-
rive considerable profit. They are
now utilized for silage, or fed to
stock in a fresh state, or cured Tor
hay. They make a silage superior
in value to corn silage. They may
be preserved in siIos the same as
green corn, or they may be put up
in large stacks in the open air. Ii

Yankton, s. D., Dec. 15.-George 3ossteuscher, a farm laborer, was shot to death by a sheriff's posse and Company M of the state militia after an all-day battle. He had mortally wounded Daniel Courtney, his em- ployer, after a quarrel because of his attentions to the farmers 15-year-ol daughter.
 Barricading himself, he refused to be taken alive. He compelled the household to prepare breakfast and dinner and calmly smoked his pipe while keeping guard from a lower window against any onslaught from the posse, which by o'clock in the afternoon had swelled to several hun dred men. Later the sheriff called upon the militia for aid and, after the members of the family had been re- moved from the house by strategy, a demand was made upon the farm hand that he surrender.
 Hundreds of rounds of ammunition were fired by both the besieging force and the desperate man within.

ROOSEVELT IN NEW HAVEN
FORMER PRESIDENT AVOIDS REF ERENCE TO REGENT ELECTION.
Colonel Declares for Radical Policy Carried Out by Conservatives and
 Praises President Taft.

Boston, Dec. 15.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt spent the day in Boston. He came to deliver the William Belden Noble lecture at Harvard in the even ing. The former president arrived in Boston from New Haven, where he addressed the Chamber of Commerce, and went to the home of Judge Fran cis Lowell of the United States cir cult court for breakfast.
 The colonel attended a meeting of the Harvard overseers.
 In his New Haven address Roose- welt made no reference to the recent elections He confined himself to reiteration of the broad political doc trines to which he gave expression many times in his speaking trips last summer, saying he was glad to make in Connecticut just such speech as he had made to former gatherings in the west.
 Governor-elect Simeon E. Baldwin's place at the banquet table was va cant. He remained at home, retiring early. There were no developments in Colonel Roosevelts controversy with Judge Baldwin during the coloneIs stay here.
 Colonel Roosevelt defined his atti- tude in politics in these words:
 q am a radical, but l am a radical who earnestly desires to see a rad ical program carried out by conserva- lives"
 It seems to me that nothing could be a better augury," he said, than that a Republican president should appoint an ex-Confederate of opposite political faith chief justice of the United States and receive applause of his countrymen."

United States Senator Hughes, the
Democratic Senator from the State OF
Colorado, stated while In this city
that immigration is the foundation Of
Americas prosperity.
Boss McCandless, the self-nominat-

Hawaii a platform that declares
against immigration of Europeans.
United States Senator Newlands,

State of Nevada, in a speech delivered
last evening In San Francisco, spoke
unequiyocally for the immigration of
Europeans to the Territory of Ha-
wall.
Boss McCandless. therefore, cam
paigning on his un-American plat
form with its direct opposition to the
immigration of Europeans, is in open
and fragrant opposition to recognized
leaders OF the Democratic party In
