THE ides of March are coming
and what will the legislature do
They must either adjourn or work
for $500 per day. There are
some members who want to &c
home, others belong to the union
and want reasonable wages and
permanent jobs and still others
would be willing to work without
salary and give the State a bonus
for the privilege of experiment
ing on the public. The trainers OF
our constitution did a wise thing
in reducing the salary of our leg
islators after sixty days session
and If they had fully foreseen
conditions no doubt they would
have taken away the salary and
fined the members for each day
they remained in session after
sixty days.

VIRGINIA FARMERS
MEET in ROANOKE
One of the Largest Sessions
Held in Years = Many
Topics Discussed.

Roanoke. Va. Jan. 10.-Roanoke e
was crowded with farmers all this
week from every section of Virginia,
and all trains arriving here through
out the day brought more farmers,
fruit growers and stock raisers, all

Hon. Henry C. Stuart, who delivered
an address on beef productions.
The Virginia Gamers Association

held meetings this afternoon.
Nowhere in Virginia and perhaps in
this country, possibly, with the excep-
tion of California, has there been a
more elaborate or handsomer display
of apples than is being exhibited here
by the Virginia Horticultural Society.
The exhibit iso one of the great fea-
lures of the farmers week, and in it's
elf makes an attraction worth coming
long way to see.
The lecture given this afternoon to
the wives and other women at the
Farmers Convention by Mrs. Mary
E. billiard, of Lynchburg on "Iome
Economies" was one of the most
striking features of the day. Mrs.
billiard said that girls should be
taught the art of home making and
housekeeping in scientific way.
Technical schools had been establish
ed for boys, and similar plan should
be followed for girls. With an cleo
tric stove she quickly and deftly pre-
pared several delicious dishes, talk
ing the while, and explaining why she
did certain things with the ingred-
tents.
Miss Agnew discussed tomatoe
raising and the plan of organizing
tomatoe clubs.

Alfalfa For Horses

One of the foremost horse breeders
in America, who constantly maintains
puwards of one hundred head of va
rious ages, writes this: ''In my ex-
perience of twenty five years in pas
turing horses on alfalfa, results have
convinced me that it produces more
bone, muscle and blood in horses in
lesst ime than any other pasturage.
with which / am acquai ntcd. But
believe it profitable in raising the
best horses to use moderate grain
rashion to stimulate rapid growth and
early development; my horses, how
ever, have shown no i'll effects from
pasturing on alfalfa without grain,
or other feed, and l have found such
pasturage conducive to health and
prollficacy, maturing animals equal
for service to any reared otherwise.
have raised three year olds grown on
alfalfa and light grain ration to ex-

For the purpose of conducting a
campaign for permanent endowment
fund for the work of the American
Red Cross Society, committee of
Richmonders has been named by
President Taft, who is also President
of the Red Cross. The money is de :
signed to be used in times of war or

Experience has demonstrated the
fact that while the American public
is willing to contribute generously
for relief after great disasters, it is
difficult to obtain large member
ship contributing small annual dues.
The United States is far behind
other leading nations in the matter
of endowment of its Red Cross work.
In the constantly recurring disasters,
where small communities are strick-
en-, and where public attention is not
greatly concentrated, it is found that
contributions are far too small to
meet the dcmnd.
1t has been concluded that the
amount to be raised for each city is
to be 10 cents per capita, of the
