IRISH FOX HUNTERS.
Their Horses Are Said to Be Wonder.
For Endurance.

For Endurance.
FOX hunting has thrlved for centu-
ries In Ireland" said Belfast man.
ut Is the great sport among those who
can afford 1t. and it hardly becomes n
gentleman In our country not to have
ridden to the hounds and been In at
the death ut some time.
ITO follow the dogs on their hunt
for the willy reynard is not child's play.
1t brings into play the most consum-
mate skill as n rider, for one has to be
able to stick to his horse through all
kinds of going. Some of the fences
are high. the jump being much more
severe than those in the hunts in this
country. but our horses are up to 1t.
There is no finer horse in the world
than the Irish hunter. In fact, men
who incline to the thoroughbred and
the standard bred horse give us credit
for having produced wonderful
equine. He can run and jump and
pack great load. and his endurance
Is beyond that of any other breed.
"rhe supply Of foxes seems to hold
out all right. There are plenty of them

OTHER MYSTERIES

A Graham citizen, while discussing
yesterday the mysterious disappear
auce of Mrs. w. H. Greever, wife of
the Lutheran minister. says the Ora
ham correspondent of the Bluefield
Telegraph, recalled another famous
disappearance of TRzewell county
lady some twenty three years ago.
One night about midnight. Mrs. AL
bert Gose left her bone at the Divi-
des, this county, and from that
moment to the present day she has
not been seen nor heard from by any
one in this section. The family resid-
ed on the Gas White place near
Springville. The search for Mrs.
Gose became country wide. but to no
avail. She was finally given up as
forever lost. and the theory accepted
generally that she had wandered some
where into the desert woods of Buck
horn mountain, where she died from
hunger and thirst and exposure. If
this theory was the correct one. it
will probably never be known as a
certainty as no trace of her remains
was ever found. 1t is possible, how
ever, that the skeleton of the los.
woman lies somewhere in the fastness
of Bucl;hoin mountain. Mrs. Gose
was forty-fve years of age at the
time of her disappearance. She was
the mother of several children. She
mad not been in good health for some
time prior to her sudden and myster-
ious disappearance and it was due to
her illness that caused her to leave
her family and home to wander away
never to return.
Several years ago Russell county
also had mysterious case similar to
the one mentioned. In this instance,
however. the party to drop out of
sight forever was a man. One night
some seventeen years ago n man rode
into the town of Cleveland on an iron
grey horse. He called at the livery
stable of Jake Minnick, and had his
horse put away for the night. He
went to the Clapp Hotel, ate his sup
per and registered. He went to his
room and retired, but sometime dur
ing the night he left the premises and
has not been heard from since. M lin
nick fell into the possession of the
horse, after advertising in the news
papers in vain for its owner to come
and claim the animal. The idea was
advanced that the stranger may have
wandered out of the hotel and ia Hen
into Clinch River and drowned, but it
is hardly probably, as his remains
were never discovered.

The Value of Manure

Because the average fresh manures
from our livestock only contain, in
100 pounds, .45 pound of nitrogen,
.21 pound of phosphoric acid and 80
pound of potash, while even low
grade commercial fertilizer may con-
tain, in 100 pounds. 2 pounds ofinit-
rogen, 8 pounds of phosphoric acid
and z pounds of potash, the Southern
farmer. who has not learned to make
and care for farm manures, but has
formed the habit of buying CONNER
cial fertilizer, is apt to under.esti-
mate the value of satable manre. But
If we remember that cow may pro-
duce ton month. even the small
per cent of plant foods amount to
considerable in vera.
Where the value of stable manure
is chiefly under-estimated is in its
other effects on soil fertility. 1t fur
nishes humus which improves the
physical or mechanical condition of
the soil-makes clay soils lighter and
sandy soils closer; it furnishes the
best conditions for working home
for beneficial bacteria which are es-
sential to soil fertility; it enables tho
soil to hold more moisture and give il
up to the plants when most needed
and in its decay substances arc set
free that dissolve plant foods already
In the soil but which could not be
used by the CROPS because they were
not dissolved in the soil moisture.
These virtues of stable manure are
far more valuable than the plant
foods which it contains, and because
of these virtues stable manure is the
best aid which can be given to COM
mercial fertilizers. Commercial fer
tilizers have been the salvation of the
South, but they do not make up tho
sum total of soil fertility and when
we neglect to supply stable manures
to our lands we are doing the very
thing that will prevent us from oh =
tanning the best poss ible results from
commercial fertilizers. The Progress

Inexpensive Feeds

In replying to u number of inou:r-
les received by the College of Agri-
culture of the University OF Wiscon-
sin as to how best to feed ANNA Is.
keep down the feed bills and at the
same time avoid serious results with
the herd, Prof. &C. Humphrey says
- In feeding tiinsthy, marsh hay, oat,
barley or wheat straw. or corn stow
er. one is using the poorest class of
feeds and it is nearly always neces-
sary to buy concentrates and use Them
i'm sufficiently large quantities to
provide proper nourishment. 1t is ex-
pensive in the long run to try to feed
cattle on feeds of this sort alone.
IF there is opportunity to purchase
alfalfa or red clover hay one can aft
ord to spend his money for these and
feed less concentrates. ssAs concentra-
les to go with cheaper grades of
roughage the following mixtures are
suggested: Q) Corn meal 40 parts ;
wheat bran or wheat ddlings, 80
parts; gluten feed or dried distillers'
grains, 30 parts. (2) Wheat bran,
30 parts; ground oats, 80 parts; corn
meal, 80 parts ;gluten feed, 20 parts.
(3) Wheat bran, 40 parts; sscorn and
cob meal, finely ground, 80 parts ;
ground oats, 80 parts; oil meal, 20
parts. (4) Corn meal, parts ;barley
meal. d parts; oil meal, 2 parts.
If plenty of cheap roughage is
furnished, ten to twelve pounds per
day of this mixture is usually su FL
cient to provide the required nutri-
ents. Where alfalfa or clover hay is
used, five to six pounds of grain per
day will be enough. If corn silage is
use1 with red clover or alfalfa hay,
the grain ration could be reduced to
four pounds.'

Alfalfa Will Grow Everywhere

While experts have been declaring
that alfalfa would only grow in GER
tain soils and in certain climates, it
has proven adaptability to nearly all
climates an. almost all soils. 1t pro-
duces with rainfall as scant as Ii
inches, and in the Gulf States flour
ishes with 65 inches. 1t gives crops
at an elevation of 5000 feet above
sea level and in Southern California
it grows below sea level to height
of six feet or over, with nine cuttings
year, aggregating ten to twelve
tons. An authenticated photograph in
possession, of the writer shows won
derfui plant raised in the irrigated
desert of Southern California, sixty
feet below sea level, that measured
considerably more than ten fleet in
height. Satisfactory crops are raised
but on limited areas as yet, in Yer
mont and Florida. New York has
grown it for over one hundred years
in her clay and gravel; Nebraska
grows it in her western sand hills
without blowing, as does Nevada on
her sage brush desert. The depleted
cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn
lands of Illinois and Missouri each
respond generously with profitable
yields to the enterprising farmer,
while it's accumulated nitrogen and
the subsoiling it effects are making
the rich land more valuable and Civ

to rival resort on the same trolley
