to make the most of it. First and
foremost of these SUPP lamentary feeds
is green forage. Many kinds Of plants
afford some of the desired elements,
but the legumes, such as clUvers, al
falfa, field peas, etc. are the great
balancers for corn. Experiment has
proved that alfalfa pasture with corn
rs an exclusive feed produced pork
considerably cheaper than when ~ per
cent shorts or - per cent Skimmilk
was fed. Alfalfa pasture seems to be
par excellence for hog. and it should
be grown where possible.
Glover is nearly rs good Il feed for
hogs ut all seasons as alfalfa. While
concentrates. such as shorts, tankage,
oilmeal, bonemeai, etc, will nearly
always cheaper and balance ii corn or
other carbonaccUIS ration. ii should be
horne in mind that far the cheapest
gains are made where pasture is the
main balan:er. Where some of the
legumeS are not found to be adapted
rape will prove Il profitable forage
plant. and each acre of good rape is
worth Il ton Of grain for hog feed.

PLAINTIFF GETS $4,000
AGAINST "JIM CROW" LAW.

Vicksburg, Miss, Feb. l3.--The
first advantage in the testing of
Mississippi's Jim Grow" law went
to the plaintiff when verdict
awarding SIS, 600 to Miss Pearl Nor
ris was returned in the circuit court.
As the basis for the suit Miss Nor
alleged that she was sold berth in
a sleeping car by the Alabama and
Vicksburg Railroad which was oc-
cupied by three negroes. The case
will go to the United States Su-
preme Court, the attorneys for the
road, say, if the State Supreme
Court upholds the decision.

WOMAN MAKES GOOD
IN POULTRY BUSINESS

Modesto, Cal, Feb. IA Poultry
raising has been demonstrated to
be one of the most profitable pur-
suit that can be followed in Stan
islaus county, by the experience
of Miss May Holdridge, who has just
sold her hatchery, the pioneer in
stitution of its kind in the county,
to the Modesto Poultry Farm.
Her father, the late Rev. Z. A.
Holdridge, formerly a pastor of the
Presbyterian Church in this city,
died a number of years ago, leaving
a widow, two daughters andayoung
son.
Miss May Holdridge turned her
attention to chickens. She worked
hard and used common sense and
good judgement, and when she sold
out a few days ago she had orders
for 10000 chickens and one Of the
best equipped hatcheries in the
State.
Her clients are all over California,
and so successful have been her eff
forts, that she has purchased with
the profits of her poultry business a
herd of Holstein dairy COWS.

THE HARE:M SKIRT.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 49,
Sounding the death knell of the
dainty hobble skirt, dashing young
schoolgirls and silver. haired ma
irons with a great clatter and flut-
tering went into raptures of delight
when they feasted their eyes on the
"harem" skirt, the latest wrinkle
in feminine apparel, at the opening
of the National Style Show at the
Arlington Hotel last night.
Group by group they made way
to the stall, where a dainty young
woman was garbed in theplum-col-
ored creation, the work of Miss En-
ma Davis.
Miss Hucherson the model, was
asked a thousand and one ques-
tions; was commanded to climb the
steps in the booth and was asked
to sit in all possible postures.
The skirt is cut something on the
order of ordinary trousers, and fits
snugly over the hips. 1t strikes be-
low the ankles a trihe, and isrecom-
mended f6r rainy or stormy days,
as it is almost impossible for a va
grant wind to switch it skyward. A
single charming motion will lift it
beyond the contamination of mud
and when this is done, on the model
at least, only the tiniest bit of ankle
was displayed to the admirers Of
the garment.
Washington came in droves to
witness the protrusion of the very
latest kinds and classes of apparel
for men and women. Coats and
overcoats, evening gowns, riding
habits, and furs of the most costly,
are there in abundance, all the
work of designers of note. The
crowds represented all classes Of So

THE COST OF BAD ROADS.

Only people who have never en-
joyed good roads are opposed to
them. Of course they are not op-
posed to good roads, but only to
the expense involved i'll making
them. But as a matter of fact good
roads do not really cost anything.
1t costs an enormous amount not
to have them but good roads really
pay for themselves in a short time,
and then are a clear gain--velvet.
For the same reason, no public util-
ity costs the community anything
they all pay for themselves by
increased value of land. 1t is not
an easy matter to tell just where
this value will appear, and in just
what degree, in the various loca-
tion benefited, but the land market
will show it with substantial ac-
curacy in the course of a few years,
and thus it will be apportioned
with approximate exactness Each
county in the State as a whole,
could we'll afford to bond itself if
necessary for the purpose of build
ing good roads; not just here and
there a sample stretch, but miles
and miles every year in every coun-
ty, the expense to be met by taxes
derived from taxes on land apart
from improvements and TO be paid
by the counties and the State in a
definite and uniform proportion
Petersburg Index-Appeal.
As a concrete example of the val
ue of good roads, the land adjacent
to or in the vicinity Of the recently
built Roanoke -Botetourt highway,
as far away from the corporate linn
its as six miles, have doubled in
value, selling to-day for $3.50 to
$500 per acre. Before the road
was constructed the very same
lands would have brought from $35
to 500 per acre.
The question arises, How will
good roads affect the prices of lands
when every road is improved? Some
contend that the lands will revert
to the old prices, which is not true.
Anybody who wants to buy land
will pay from a third to a half more
per acre if it is on frst-cIasS road
leading to a city market, for owing
to the rarity of good roads, there
are more people who want such
lands than there are acres for sale

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

There is hardly any question at pres

attention than that involving a correlil-
ton Of study of agriculture with the
work of our public schools as usually
carried on. While realizing both the
value and need of taking up such III

doubts about the possibility Of doing

However, the job has been tackled by
several county superintendent, ana

and at the proper time these tracts
were turned over to the pupils. In all
$40 pupils took up the work, including
those in the sixth grade and above.
Each pupil was assigned a plot OF
ground 4 by 10 feet and allowed con-
siderable leeway in the choice or seeds'
The plots were then prepared for the
seed and planted. Boys and girls VINO
at home looked upon working III the

work with enthusiasm, and the results
were surprising While each class
was assigned special time in which
to work their plots, they were not re-
stricted. They carried their garden

pretty successful farming. Another
valuable feature of the work was that

whether their operations had been sue
cessful and taught them exactness and
