mated by washing from pastures, lots,
etc, will be made impure and very
dangerous for the cattle, lie strongly
advised farmers TO have plenty of run
ning water, protected spring water,
deep wells or artesian wells.
Another interesting talk was deliv-
cred by Prof. J. c. Price of the hor-
ticultnral department on the subject
Peach Culture In Alabama" In clear
and specified manner Professor Price
told where to locate the orchard, how
to arrange the rows, how to prepare
the ground by deep blowing and dyna-
miting, IL necessary. Among the va
rleties recommended for culture in
Alabama were the Mayflower, Georgia

OF the results of some of the feXper-
iments made by feeding one-year- old

lowing feeds were used: I'D Cotton

that IL was more difficult for the aver

ence, delivered a forceful and highly
Instructive address on the question OF
Rural Schools as Vitalizing Factors

one Of the features of the day and he
was given profound attention. lie es-
peciaiy emphasized the need of teach
ers who are in sympathy with coun-
try life and who are trained praeti-
cally in agriculture and mechanics SO
that they may be leaders and in
sprers of the industrial life in the
community He called attention to the
necessity of better buildings better

The Democratic Administra-
ton Endorsed.

1t is not often that the first elections
after the Inauguration of President do
not show a reaction against his party.
In fact, it has become rule so general
that it is expected. But precedent cuts
no figure when the people are determin-
ed 10 show their appreciation of an ad-
ministration which is trying to live up
to all party promises, with an eye single
to the interests of the greatest number.
1t is, therefore, not surprising that in
the three States of Massachusetts, New
Jersey and Maryland, where State tick
els were elected last week, that Democ-
racy was signally triumphant. Massa
chusetts and New Jersey have been re
garded as certainly Republican, and Ma
ryland has often gone that way. but each
of them returned large Democratic plu-
ralities this time, former rock ribbed
Republican Massachusetts electing the
entire Democratic ticket by some 60. 900
plurality, which is really as wonderful
as it is gratifying
So far the Democratic leaders have
made no serious mis- axes. The Presi-
dent has shown a remarkable devotion
to the peoples cause and Congress has
fulfilled in large measure what was ex-
pected Of il. Clark and Underwood,
contending candidates with Mr.. Wilson
for the Presidency, have labored with
him to crystalize into law the pledges
upon which the Democratic party re-
gained the power it was SO long depriv-
ed of, and it now seems that it will re-
main in power for many years to come,
as 1t did before the war and for sixty
years made this the most p osperous and
happy country on the globe. 1t will re-
main in power if the good sense, fine
judgment and patriotism continue to
prevail as they have during the eight
months that the Democratic party has
been in charge of the Government.
The election in Kentucky being for
local offices might not be taken as an
endorsement of the Administration, but
1t really is, because the people are be-
coming satisfied that the Democratic
party is capable of administering the af.
fairs Of the country with wisdom and
conservatism and, therefore, the whole
trend of public sentiment is toward the
party of the people, which rules by and
through them.-W. P. Walton in Lex
ington Herald.
