WILLIAM And MARY CLOSES
ITS 2l9TH Session THIS MORNING
EXERCISES BEGIN WITH A BRILLIANT SERMON BY
DIR. ". ". MOORE SUNDAY MORNING

me maj CACINlSCos AAoA NIB 49,
closing Of the two hundred and
session of William and
Mary College began Sunday morning
with the baccalaureate sermon de
livered by DR.. w. w. Moore. presi-
dent of the Union Theological Semi
nary, Richmond. in the college
chapel. The building was well filed |
with a representative audience to
hear the eminent theologian whose
reputation as a speaker was well
known here.
The senior class led the procession
into the hall. followed by the speak
er with DR.. Tyler and the faculty in
cap and gown, making an imposing
scene. After prayers and reading a
scriptural lesson, President Tyler in
troduced the speaker. taking pains
to explain the origin of the custom
now in vogue at all modern insttu-
items of learning.
DR.. Moore announced as bis sub
iect Another King. One Jesus.
which was taken from Acts l7:7.
The sermon was a practical apPlica-
tion of Christ and religion to modern
life and conditions and the necessity
of Christ in life and the effects OF
his teachings upon mankind and
civilization. There were many strik-
ing passages in the sermon, one or
which was that we are indebted to
Christianity for our colleges and
schools, our hospital sand all institu-
tons of a similar nature. The speak
er declared that he had no patience
with our representatives who would
spend Sl2.OO0.OOO for battle ship,
and that if the American people had
the backbone they could destroy
these internal instruments of warfare
The presence of churches in natior
were more powerful than police
forces or armies and made life anc
property far more secure.
In closing DR.. Moore said: The
only person that can give peace i
Christ. Christ is the only Persoi
that can give power to achieve IN
best in life. The system of Jesu
Christ is the only system on earth I
attain the highest. That Christ

POWERS MAY INTERVENE
AFTER DECISIVE BATTLE
VIII Insist That Blood Enouqh Has
Been Spilled and Peace Can be
Offered to Both Sides.

Berlin.-The Frankfurter Zeitung
prints a Vienna dispatch, evidently
emanating from official sources, which
says:
The time for Intervention by the
powers is near, whether required or
not. If Turkey is defeated in the i'm
pending battle between Adrianople
and Constantinople it will be high
time for Europe to look to its inter
ests, since the destruction of Euro
pean Turkey could not be tolerated,
nor could the occupation of Constan-
tinople by another power.
Blood enough has been spilled, and
peace can be offered to both sides, If
Bulgaria is defeated, with good pros
pect of acceptance. Austria is not
likely to attack Servia, as that would
mean immediate war with the Balkan
alliance. A decisive battle is expect
ed In few days; hence Intervention
is likely within a week"

USING MANURE ON DRY FARM
Essential That There Be Sufficient

The question whether fresh stable
manure should be applied on land
where the rainfall is so small as to
make dry farming" necessary cannot
be answered Internationally One
thing is very certain, ordinary stable
manure. worked into the top soil, will
In very dry climate. make the land
still drier. says the Northwestern
Stockman and Farmer. Manure can
not benefit any soil unless there is
moisture enough to dissolve out the
plant food so that it can be utilized by
growing plants of whatever is planted.

crop unless there is water enough to

that will givn value to manure Where
the land is under irrigation, however,
the crops will get the benefit of all

1t will be a better plan In using
manure on such land to bulk it, and
keep it wet by frequent applications OF
abundant water and forking it over
often, till it is wet all through and
kept so till 1t is in a pretty well rot

This can be spread on the land and

and whenever anything is planted the
best plan is to run over the land with

In matter of this sort, however, the

There is considerable difference in
both the soil and the climate in the

the rainfall is very small, and every
one ought to make some tests for him

can feel sure; that is, that the plant

This lack may be remedied by the
product of aviaries, preserves, and
private parks, devoted to rearing of
domesticated game, the marketing OF
which under suitable safeguards liz

states, indicating that American mar
kets will open more and more to
these domesticated substitutes to the
fast disappearing wild game.
At present there is no lack of de.
mand for pheasants for various pur-
poses. Owners of private preserves
and state game officials, pay profitable
prices for certain species for stocking

were not SO bad, but the rain came at
such time of the year that there was
comparatively little moisture in the
soil during the growing periods This,
however, should not argue against
the dry farming methods, as they are
simply good farming methods which
are applicable in greater or less de-
gree to every section of the United
States. Dry farming methods do pro-
duce good results in three seasons out
of five and are more likely to produce
results every year than any other

Is popularity supposed.
The few pheasant stomachs ex.
amined indicate that these birds are
very fond of grain. Oats and wheat
composed about "a per cent of the food
Of IL ringneck pheasants collected in
Oregon and Washington and S25 per
cent. of the stomach contents of two
English pheasants from British Co
lumbia. But all of these birds were
taken in September, October and De-
cember; hence it is probable that all
OF this grain was waste. The next
largest item of fCSd in these stomachs
was insects, consisting entirely of lar.
vac OF March flies. One stomach con-
tanned no fewer than $50 of these lar
vac and another 432. The remainder
of the food included acorns, pine seeds,
browse, peas, rose hips, upine, bur
clover, black mustard and chick
weed.
From 200 to $50 kernels of wheat
and oats were taken by various birds;
about 200 peas were found in one
stomach, but it was evident that these
were the old and partly decomposed
refuse of the harvest. Twenty-three
acorns and 200 pine seeds were taken
by the birds which ate the largest
amount Of mast, and about 500 cap
sules of chickweed, containing more
than 5000 seeds, were in the stomach
OF the best weed seed eater.
What is most evident is that pleas.
ants are gross feeders; their capabih-
ties for good or harm are great. If
number of them attack crop they are
likely to make short work of it, or il
they devote themselves to weed seeds
or insect pests they do great deal OF
good. 1t seems therefore that the
question OF the economic value OF
pheasants Is peculiarly a local one
Much depends on the proportion OF
land under cultivation. the kind of
crops raised, and the quantity of wild
food available. Apparently the
chances are about even that imported
pheasants will or will not become
useful economic factors.

Stopping Pigs Roofing.

Rings are often inserted in the
noses of hogs to prevent their root.
Ing. This is very good practice and
Is followed by many breeders The
rings and tools for inserting them
can be purchased quite cheaply from

The reason that pigs root in the
ground is to get roots and insects
there that they like to eat. 1t is prob
ably characteristic that sticks to
domesticated hogs that was learned
when all hogs were wild and found it
necessary to get part of their feed
from the soil. AS a rule, if hogs are
well fed they will not do much root.
