Growing Live Stock.

In these great growing South Attain
TIC States the growing Of live stock
should occupy prominent place. Aside
from all other consideration, the grow
ing OF live stock is an important factor
In diversified farming for the reason
that by the feeding of forage crops and
gram to farm animals, humus, which ia
so essential to plant production, is, in
large measure, restored to the land.
and the soil instead of being impover-
ished, is constantly enriched.
One OF the unfortunate results of the
failure of our Southern farmers to de-
vote more attention to live stock grow
ing In the past. has been that large
sums of money have annually been sent
out of the South to pay for meat pro-
ducts produced in other sections. A
large proportion of the meats consumed
In our cities have been shipped into the
South and, to some extent, even our
farmers have been buyers of meats
grown in the West and the Northwest
The people of the United States con-
sumo more meat per capita than any
other people in the world. For some
years past, largely as a result of the
cutting up of the great cattle ranches
of the West into farms, demand has
been increasing faster than the supply.
resulting in a continued advance in
meat prices. This has produced a sit
uation decidedly favorable to the grow
ing of live stock on our farms.
The growth and prosperity of great
stock farms in the Northern and West
ern States afford ample proof that
stock growing is profitable business.
If it is profitable in those localities
where the crop season is short, where
winter shelter is necessary and costly.
and where second and third crops in the
same season are impracticabIe, why
should it not be found to be still more
profitable in the South? In our fertile
section little or no winter shelter is
needed. In many localities two and
even more crops can be grown on the
same land in the course of g year. |
while the grazing season is much lon
ger than in the North or West, lasting
practically throughout the entire II

"SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL The CHILD"

Spare the rod and spoil the child"
is an axiom that is responsible for many
grievous error in the up-bringing of
children. The old idea was that some
children are naturally lazy and some are
not and that it is incumbent upon the
parents and teachers of the former
class to drive out the laziness by lib
eral application of hickory oil or by such
other punishments as have been found
to be effective though milder. Closer
study of the young human animal has
resulted in the discovery that '1azy"
children are to be sharply differentiated
into two very distinct types and that
special handling is required for each.
A child may be active and ready enough
to play ball but slow and Indifferent
when it comes to splitting kindling.
Such a one is not lazy physically but is
deficient in moral training. He needs
to be shown the advisability Of under
going the WEAKNESS of doing occasion
ally what he prefers not to do and of
leaving undone what he would be very
much pleased to do. The method of the
demonstration must be left for circum-
stances to determine and if rnilder meas
ures are Intellectual a kindly but thor
ough application of the switch is often |
times Of inestimable value.
But there is another kind of child who
while showing greater eagerness for
play than for work, exhibits nothing
approaching normal aptitude for either.
Their interest is hard to arouse and
con fags. Such children used to be

months. The success achieved bv ;nd;-
vidual stock farmers throughout the
South has demonstrated practically the
prohtableness of this branch of agrieul-
ture.
Live stock growing in the South
should be made feature Of diversified
farming. Individual farmers with spc-
cial qualifications for the work will
doubtless find it TO their advantage to
devote attention to the growing of
thoroughbred animals to be sold for the
Improvement of the flocks and herds in
their communities. This is in line with
the excellent work being done by some
of our Southern farmers for the devel-
opment OF improved varieties of corn
by intelligent seed selection. IN the
vicinities of our cities and of growing
industrial towns a certain number of
exclusive dairy farms will doubtless
prove to be profitable As a rule. how
ever, live stock should be grown in con-
nectlon with the growing of corn and
other crops, and every farmer should
go into this industry just as extensively
as the circumstances and condition af-
fecting his individual case will permit
There can be no question as to the
farmers Of Virginia having a profitable
market for all the live stock they can
grow consistently with maintaining and
increasing their production of corn and
other field, garden and orchard crops.
Our Southern States are constantly in
creasing in population and thriving in
dustrial communities are being built I'D
In every State. The establishment of
every new industry and the extension of
every old one means an increase in the
number of Southern consumers of farm
products. In addition to this the farm
ers of the Southern States are favor
ably located with reference to supply
ing the great and growing markets in
the North Atlantic States.

the bane of teachers. They were term
ed stupid if not viciously Indifferent.
Modern child-lovers have discovered
that the large majority of such cases
are due either to insufficient food or to
bodily defects. The eyes, ears, nose,
throat and teeth, if examined by a ply
stefan, would be likely to reveal facts
which would make the teacher weep in
contrition for any hardness she NAV
have shown. Sick children differ from
sick adults in this important particular
that the latter generally realize what
the trouble is or at any rate that trouble
OF physical kind exists while the for
mer as rule do not. To subject this
type of child to the terror of switching
Is to risk serious damage to develop
ment aside from the unbearable cruelty
OF the proceeding. The next time YOU
parent or you teacher decide to inflict a
sound thrashing upon an irritating
charge, it will be quite worth while to
reflect whether that charge is going to
derive benefit therefrom. Very posi-
bly, if he belong to the first elias describ-
ed he will. Very certainly if to the lat
ter class he will not.

WORSE IN FORMER DAYS,

Some people, stirred by the news of
legislative corruption and vote buyinq
IN different parts of the country. have
jumped to the conclusion that politics
are rotten all through, that a honest
legislature is as rare as a white black
bird, that every voter has his price, and
that conditions are very much worse
than they were in former days.
They are mistaken. That is an old
idea' as old as the days of King Solo
mon, at least, that somewhere way
back the conditions of life, and espec-
tally of political life were better than at
this present time. But anyone who
takes the trouble to read the former
political history of our country will dis
cover that corruption of all kinds was
worse than it is now.
Several things serve to make peo-
legather wrong impressions of present
political corruption. One is that we are
always most affected by that which is
immediate; another is the fact that
there is a general tendency to forget
the disagreeable things of the past and
remember only that which is pleasant.
and the third, and perhaps the strongest
reason, is in the enlightened conscience
and higher moral standard of people
which makes them intolerant of politi-
cal and other corruption which in times
passed would have been condoned or
CLOSED over. People now will not stand
for these things and though the expos
ing of political plague spots may be
unpleasant it will result in the purifca-
ton of politics and the end of the rule
of corrupt bosses and ward heelers.

1t is well to have confidence in others
even though occasionally that confidence
may be misplaced. This is far better
than being suspicious of every person
we meet and of every proposition made.
AS a rule men are worthy of the conf
dence reposed in them and the man who
reposes that confidence receives tat of
others in added measure. In truth,
without this confidence the whole social
and business life of the world would
soon come to a standstill.

The first question in the number we
put to the Times last year was:

hen propounded, the Times answered
alphabetically, Yes"

DESERTS HIS FRIENDS.

The Roanoke Times has become about
as rampant tooter for the Democratic
Machine as it was jealous bugler for
Mr. Stuart in 1910. This was evidenced
by column and half editorial which
appeared in the Times in its issue of the
18th instant.
We have no part in the fractional fight
that is now going on within the Demo
cratic party in Virginia, nor do we care
fig who wins in the senatorial
fight that is to take place in the State
this year All the candidates, to use
an expression of the Roanoke Times.
have been ''tarred with the same stick"
They have all been contributors to the
outrages that have been inflicted upon
the Republican party in Virginia, and
have all willingly profited by the dishon-
est election laws that Democrats have
placed upon our statute books.
There is one thing, however, in the
editorial of the Roanoke Times of the
18th instant which is both amusing and
ridiculous. This is the evident purpose
of the Times to make a Joke of Mr..
Stuart's seeming alignment with the
Machine.
Until Mr.. Stuart became candidate
for Congress he was known as one of
the most pronounced leaders of the anti
machine forces; and it was well known
that the Machine was very hostile to
him when he became a candidate for
governor in 1909.
Last week number of anti-machine
men met in Richmond and organized a
''Virginia Democratic League" with
the announced purpose of fighting the
Democratic Machine and taking from
it the control of Virginia. This orpani-
cation or league was made subject for
ridicule by our Roanoke contemporary.
and with testing remarks it discloses
the intention of Mr.. Stuart to abandon
the men with whom he had so long been
identified in fighting the Machine. Thus
does the Times make the disclosure:
1--WE know Mr.. Stuart will vote
for Mr.. Jones for he has said he will
and he is man of his word. We
understand the boys out that way
are scheming up joke on Henry to
give him the happy ha-ha and prove
his veracity. They are trying to ar
range and agree that the Stuart
vote shall be the only one cast for
Jones in Russell. They want to
know how Mr.. Stuart will sound
when for once in his life uplifting
his voice in a political solo in his
own county and singing his simple
lay all by himself at Elk Garden. II
they can fix it up ike they want it

from Russell that Mr.. Stuart kept
his word and voted for Mr. Jones.

William Graham was the man who

out IN the unheaten road and led the
early fortunes Of the institution in the
direction which has in later years
proved So successful. He served as

TljRERCULOUs CATTLE.

Attention has been called by the State
Health Department to the lmpor-
tance Of having all imported ami
mails tested for tuberculosis as soon as
possible, to avoid the loss Of valuable
stock and to prevent imposition by un-
scrupulous dealers in other states. This
action follows an incident Of some days
ago which resulted in very serious loss
to dealer, who shipped number Of
valuable cattle from northern state.
The animals were certified as free from
tuberculosis, but upon examination by
the state veterinarian, In connection
with the federal bureau Of animal IN
dustry, eleven fine animals were found
to react to the tuberculin test and we're
killed. Upon examination they were
found to be in condition that fully
justified the action taken by the state.

much caution cannot be exercised IN
the purchase Of animals from other
states, where the nature Of the inspec-
ton and the character Of the dealer are
not thoroughly known.
