plant food as OF necessity accompanies
The sale Of such products. Therefore
one Of the greatest problems to be
solved In successful farming Is the dis
posal Of the roughage produced on the
farm in such a way as to secure the
feeding value and at the same time
conserve the plant food therein con-
tanned
1t is impossible to produce grain
without also producing large amounts
of roughage. Since cattle are the most
satisfactory animals to consume large
quantities Of roughage the solution Of
the roughage problem lies largely with
this class Of stock, and with 1t rests
the real value Of roughage grown on
the farm. Cattle feeding is coming
more and more to be considered as a
means of marketing grain, conserving
oil fertility and completely utilizing
,he roughage produced on the farm

speculation.

AN ENEMY TO GOOD ROADS

The Times-Dispatch points out that
the reckless, snobbish automobiles is
one of the worst enemies and SER
ious nindrance to the building of
good roads. Good, smoothe highways
will increase the number of mach
ines, and also the length of their
runs. The country roads will be dot
ted with machines. The country peo-
pie will be greatly inconvenienced,
and perhaps suffer in many cases SER
ious accidents from frightened horses
aud runaway teams. Hence, in many
places and communities the good
roads movement has been bitterly op.
posed on this ground only. What is
the lemedy? Careful, sensible driving
Of the machines. We must have good
roads. The automobile is inevitable.
We can have both and enjoy both if
machine drivers are consderate cf
the rights of others. If not. the only
remedy left is the Courts. Let the
reckless, empty headed, snobbish dri-
yer of machine be hauled up and
put in in Jail and fined, to boot.
Travel on our highways is hazardous
these days, particularly tor women
on horseback or in vehicles, and many
of the ladies' in the country ale afraid
to venture out There are rock crush
ers, steam-rolIers, automobiles. etc.
on all the public roads, and every
body must be considerable and careful.
Horses will soon become accustomed
to these things, and the prejudice
and opposition to both good roads and
automobiles will disappear. "Keep
the speed-bug out of your head. sound
your horn at turns in the road and
stop your machine when approaching
frightened team" are suggestions.
which, if needed will avoid trouble
all around.

Farmers Defend Limo nitl

Charles V.Mereiith and John p lex e
rell, of Richmond. have been retained
by the Virginia State Farmers insli-
tute to defend the suit fought by the
lime burnees of this State To defeat
the operation of the convict lime bill.
The announcement that these atto.-
neys would aid the Attorney General
in upholding the validity of the act
as passed by the last Legislature was
made yesterday by Westmorelaud
Davis, of Laudoun, president of the
institute.
MIR. Davis further said that he pre-
sumed The convict lime board. which
is charged with the execution of the
law, would put it into effect unless
prevented by an order from the
courts. He regards the recent pro-
ceedings as the contamination by the
lime burners of the suggestion made
during the session Of the Legislature.
cit seems to me, " said MIR. Davis
last night, "that manufacturers who
are IN many instances selling low
grades of line at exorbitant prices
place profits first and are loath to
forego the revenue upon which they
have fattened at the expense of the
farmers. Virginians have been forced
to pay for lime as high as $40 the
ton, for the equivalent of which in
ground limestone the Illinois farmer
pays 30 cents and $1.2O the ton,
while the Iowa farmer secures it at
20 cents ton, when bought in forty
ton cars.
THE feeling on this subject is in
tense, as was shown by the large
majority given the dill when it was
passed. This feeling is not likely to
be assuaged by the combined efforts
of the lime burners to defeat this
legislation. - imes-D Dispatch.

New York, Oct. 25.-After having
been out for ten hours the jury which
has been trying Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker on a charge of insti-
eating a plot for the murder of Her.
man Rosenthal at midnight last
night returned verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree.
Judge Golf was summoned to the
court room to receive the verdict and
after it had been read, he remanded
Becker to the Tombs until October
80 at which time sentence will be
passed. Mrs. Becker, who was sitting
outside the courtroom swooned when
the verdict was announced
The prisoners destiny was placed
in the jury's hands yesterday after
noon after Justice Golf charged the
jury, speaking for three hours. The
charge in effect was a ruling that the
guilt or innocence of the prisoner
rested almost solely upon the debat-
able point as to whether Sam Schepps
was an accomplice to the crime. The
court itself was doubtful as to
Schepps' status and declined to guide
the jurors in deciding. He then in
structed them to return a verdict of
first degree murder or second degree
murder or acQuit the defendant.
Manslaughter was eliminated. The
greater parts of the courts instruc-
tions dealt with first degree murder
the penalty for which is the electric
chair.
Twice during the afternoon the
jury communicated with Justice Golf.
The jury asked for the stipulation
made by the state with the four in

Later the jury asked for the testi-
mony of the persons who had talked
