IMPORTANT TREE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUITTRE
ISSUES RESULTS OF EXPERTS
INVESTIGATION.

Commissioner of Agriculture
koiner is mailing out to the farmers
Of the State his latest bulletin
'Shortleaf Pine In Virginia"-issued
in cooperation with the forest ser

Hanover counties. which was suppW
mented BY a general examination of
the stands in the middle part of the
state, Its scope was:
Cd To ascertain the condition Of
the old-feld stands and the value of
their timber for lumber uses.
CD To determine the effect of lum-
befing on the future yields of he
and to ascertain whether con-
servative methods of cutting could be
employed probably.
(3) To determine the yield of stands
of different ages.
90 To recommend methods of thin
ning and cutting to accelerate growth.
go To devise methods of protection
for young growth.
The results of this important in
v~estigation by the government forestry
experts are now made public in the
bulletin issued by Mr.. Koiner, which

A DREAM WOMAN
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.

n MALL and graceful and fair to see,
She sat in a nook alone with me-
How often. l wondered, had tears believed
Those big, brave eyes in her solitude.
She seemed like vine that Destiny
Had set too far from rugged tree
And a longing to shield her slender form
Swept over my soul like tropc storm;
A longing that out of my heart l threw
Lest she might sense it and misconstrue
Big. brave eyes, each eye a star,
Mine to idolize from afar;
Set like gems in a diadem,
Only in dreams l worship them
God of this weird. bewildering scheme,
Why did you give us the will to dream?
Why did you place on Iife'S strange sea
The barren island of Cannot Be?

IN a recent divorce case It was
shown that the real cause of
the wifes dissatisfaction with
her husband was because he was
not able to maintain the grand
splurge Of their brleal tour
throughout their everyday life.
The wife had been a poor girl,
stenographer, who married a
middle-aged merchant or moder-
ate means. He took her for their
honeymoon to Palm Beach and
other fashionable resorts, and.
dazzled by the magnlncence of
the hotels at which they stopped,
she expected the same luxury
ever afterward. The husband
couldn't afford this, and when
called upon to settle Gown into
very modest city fiat the wife
became peevish, and fretful, and
disgruntled, and considered her
self so i'll used that she finally
took her troubles to the divorce
court.
This is sad tale, mates. Let
it be a warning to every young
man who is contemplating mat
rimony and who is figuring out
where he shall go with his bride
on their honeymoon.

THERE is certain quality in

THERE is a certain quality in
each of us, a quite normal
and natural human quality,
which makes US rejoice exceeding
ly when we are proved to be
right in any forecast Of events.
Perhaps this quality may be
called vanity, but it is an excusa-
BILE vanity, as indeed many phases
Of vanity are excusable.
The egotistical and conceited
human being is insufferable; he
is a misfortune to himself, be-
cause he is so certain Of his supe-
riority over his fellows that he
makes no least effort to improve.
But the being possessing van
ity is always on the alert to do
better and better; to keep up with
the times, to be alert, to be proven
right. Therefore, if it be vanity
which prompts these words, let be.
Ten years ago, published the
following:
~ ONE months ago received a
y letter from that good wom-
Emma Sickles, in which she
said:
TT is to be hoped that the day
is not far distant when men see
it is far more serious thing to
bring life into human existence,
Of suffering or degradation, than
1t is to end the earthly existence
Of that life, and that they are
quite as responsible to God and
to society for the lives they bring
into being as they are for the lives
they murder
That day is not as near as Miss
Siclles hopes, yet such a day must
come.

How Race Will Be Bred.

A day when, the propagation Of
the human family will be under
as strict a law as the breeding of
fine fowls or blooded stock, with
the additional element Of religion
TO aid science. Fine animals are
bred by science-the science of
careful selection and wise mating.
But it requires more elements
to produce a splendid specimen of
the human family than perfect
animal.
Fine feathers make fine birds,
and tender flesh and certain pro-
ductive and salable qualities COM
plete the well-bred fowl.
The high-bre horse needs fine
points, speed and carriage. But
the perfectly bred human being,
such as the world waits to well
come, must be mentally equipped
and morally endowed, as well as
physically developed, and all
these traits should be equally
balanced.
The man of stunted or de-
formed body or giant proportions,
the anemic and undeveloped tenn
permanent or the oversensuous
and self -indulgent, the material
minded or the spiritual bigot, are
all types to be eradicated. The
ideal race-the coming thorough
breds-will be men of good stat
ure and strong vitality, intellect
ual and reverent, and all anima-
ted with an ambition to work to-
gether toward the betterment of
this beautiful world. Deform-
tiles and degenerates will be IN
known, save as accidents.
There are few deformed ami
mails, because animals, even when
left TO themselves. breed their
young more according to nature
than the average man. All de-
formity of mind and body is the
result of wrong conditions-ig-
norance, self-indulgence, extreme
poverty and extreme luxury. BY

world are going to see how neces-
sary it is to control the conditions
under which children are propa-
gated and reared.
Science will establish laws and
parents will abide by them. No
criminal, no diseased person, no
drunkard, will be allowed to pro-
duce his kind.
Before a marriage license can
be procured, in that day to come,
a committee will investigate the
conditions and decide whether
the parties are pro~ar people to
become parents. This will lead
to the preparation Of men and
women for marriage ana parent
hood-the most important occu-
patton of life.
Women Will Be Guarded.
Women will be guarded and
protected before the birth Of
children and taught the wonder
full import of parental influence.
Men will lift their hats to an
expectant mother, and the child
wills be welcomed with rejoicing
and reared as carefully as he was
born.
This was done in the days Of
old Greece, but woman was not
allowed the intellectual freedom
which is hers to-day, and the
world was more cruel and pos
sessed less scientific knowledge.
In the next 100 years Science
is to make marvellous religious
truths, only known now to the
few enlightened minds. universal
facts, and that will help men and
women to go about the propaga-
ton of a higher order of human
beings with reverence and pa
tience.
The time will come when it will
seem matter OF surprise to the
denizens of the earth that dis
eased and vicious people were
ever allowed to produce offspring.
Meantime, let mothers remember
how much they can do to-day by
keeping their minds uplifted and
their hearts full of love for the
unborn child they are holding.
And let them think before they
become wives of the manner Of
men they are choosing for the ia
theirs of their children.
Every well-born child which
comes into the world to-day will

shall realize what it means to

Many a woman secretly accuses
her husband of being a tightwad,
or of having ceased to love her.
because after marriage he does
not indulge her in the things that
he did before marriage, and that
his munificence then led her to
expect. She doesn't stop to reflect
that the money that used to go
into candy and flowers is now go
ing into beefsteak and onions for
her daily sustenance.
There is no doubt, however that
a very large per cent of domestic
misery is caused by men fostering
these false ideas in women before
marriage and leading them to ex-
pect a grandeur that they have no
way of attaining. This not I'M
