DAIRY EXPERTS HERE.

Professor Benjamin Purcell, State
Dairy and Food Commissioner, and
Prof. II. f. Howard, instructor in the
Creamery division of the State De
partment of Agriculture, were in the
community this week, and paid this
office pleasant visit. These gen
tlemen are trying to interest the farm
ers of this section in dairying. They
desire to meet the farmers and citi-
zens of the town as well, on Tues

the possibilities and advantages of
dairying, which they think, and are
prepared to prove, is the most impor-
tant branch Of Virginia agriculture.
The citizens of the town and county
are invited and urged to be present on
that occasion and hear what these
gentlemen have to say. 1t is all

nor silver Offering at the door" Your
presence at the meeting will not
commit you to dairy farming, or to
any change in present methods, but
you can listen, and if they can teach
you anything so we'll and so good.
FROM conversation with these gen
tlemen we feel sure that they are not
mere theorists, but practical men,
ION the job," as we say, and entirely
familiar with the subjects they will
talk about.
While here these gentlemen visit
ed the dairy and farm of Mr.. j. G.
Buston and expressed themselves as
delighted with what they saw. They
said that Buston has a fine dairy, as
well equipped and managed as any
dairy in the State Buston is max

richer every day.

A STRONG TAX BOARD APPOINT
ED BY JUDGE KEGLEY.

The Legislature, at extra session in
January last, passed and amended a
number of statutes pertaining to the
new tax laws of the State. The State
Advisory Board, and local oBards of
Review for each county, were pro-
vided for. The local Boards of Re-
view are appointed by the Judges of
the Circuit and Corporation Courts.
Judge Kegley, on last Saturday, ap-
pointed the local board of this county,
as follows: A. st. Clair, JOS. S. Gil
lespie and S. ]. Thompson. The APP
pointment cannot but meet with the
hearty pproval of every citizen of the
county. These gentlemen know, if
any one does, the value of lands and
other properties in the county and
are men Of integrity and character
Judge Kegley's appointment of the
board was wise, and both the county
and Judge Kegley are to be congrat-
ulated.
The business of the local boards.
as laid down, is to take general over
sight of the work of the commissioner
of revenue, raise or lower assess
ments, review the returns and asses
ments of intangible property, the
purchases made by merchant, income
assessments, and in some cases to fix
the amounts of licene taxes to be paid
the state, etc, etc. There is n place
need for this board and their tasks
will not be easy. Every source OF
information in the State, and the as
sistance of every State officer, is put
Mt the disposal of these local boards
There is no reason why they SHOULD
not be of great service to the coun,
ties.

Have you stopped to think Of what
the government of the United States
IS doing to encourage and develor
the agricultural interests of thi.
country?

Agriculture is tremendous organi.

most practical men in the nation
Advisers, demonstrators, lecturers

bulletins, on all subjects, are printed
and are given out absolutely free of

made to increase the output of the

the millions is a great problem and
serious one. Several of the de.

DERNBURG AND HUERTA.

That jovial and altruistic weekly,
distinct and appreciable fit over the
fact that while DR.. Durnburg has been
practically hooted from the United
States, Victoriano Huerta, former
most cruel and callous dictator of
Mexico, is welcomed to New York
with open arms, and has settled down
to live in that section of the world. A
comparison of the two figures is made,
and the Fatherland deplores the fact
that the people of the United States
should spew one out and swallow the
other.
The facts of the case are, however,
that Huerta committed all his crimes
in Mexico, and since he has been in
the United States he has not even
been before a police magistrate on a
drunk and disorderly charge He gave
out interviews when he first arrived.
because the people of the United
States wanted to know his intentions.
Since then he has been so quiet and
so orderly that very few people have
remembered that he is in this country.
DIR. Dernburg, on the other hand,
made himself most offensive to the
people of the United States. He came
to impress upon the people of the
United States the fact of the Divine
right of Kaiser Wilhelm, and he per-
sisted in doing so even when the peo-
pie of the United States had had
enough. He would not be silenced,
and showed shocking bad taste in his
utterances. Finally he decided to
leave, just one day before his de-
parture would have been requested.
If the Fatherland, or it's editors.
could see more than small portion
of one side of the question, that maya
zine of effort for Germany would not
be placed in the position in which it
finds itself. The Fatherland would
not be allowed to exist in any country
save the United States, and when one
observes the asinine antics of the
editors, one is inclined to doubt the
benefits of n absolutely free press

NEW WORK HELD SAFE
AGAINST SEA ATTACK
Col. Cocktails Says No Naval
Fleet Can force Modern
Coast Defenscs.

Baltimore, May 20.-Col. George
w. Cocktails, who is in Baltimore to.
day to receive his l.. L. d. degree from
the Johns Hopkins University. wa,
emphatic in declaring that "The So
called superiority of naval armament
compared to seacoast Notifications
and the much-talked of ability of wa,
fleets to penetrate these defenses is al
boSh.
when read in the papers of the
probability of fleet forcing itself
past these strongholds, | got red hot
because | know that it is an impos-
sibility.
There is no naval fleet in the
world today that can force strong
and properly constructed seacoast for
aification. he Japanese fleet was I'M
able to force Port Arthur; the Amer
lean fleet could not enter Satiago: the
British fleet at present is hammerine
away at the Dardanelles, and it re-
mains to be seen if it will force the
Notifications.
"Fortiiications are built to with
stand attack, and they are built to re-
nam standing. Fleets that attack
them successfully will be compelled
to land forces, and strike them from
some point inland. This is what han
pened to the American fleet at San
tiago.
The Notifications in the United
states are all right; they have been
built properly and are among the best
TO be found. No fleet can enter the
Harbor of SanFrancisco by forcing
the Notifications. l understand that
there are 149 long range guns in the
1ortif1cations at San Francisco. These
guns could reduce naval fleet before
IL got into the striking distance.
Il have been out of the United
states for sometime, nd do not know
exactly the number of guns in tho
New York harbor, but the same con-
dltions exist there as in San Fro,-
CISCO. Not in thousand years could
a naval fleet force well constructed
seacoast defense.

Mr.. Lyman carrier, who was for n
number of years, the Agronomist of
the Virginia Experiment Station at
Blacksburg, and now has charge of
the grazing investigation of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry at Washing
ton, is spending few days in Taze-
well county investigating the value
Of pastures. He wishes to gather
as much information as possible in re-
gard to the actual gains made by cat
tie or sheep during seasons graz
ing. This is to serve as basis for
the departments experimental work
in regard to pasture Improvement
and to Indicate how much n farmer
might be justified in spending on an
inferior pasture in order to improve
its production. He expects to visit
some of the best grazirg farms in
the county and we hope that the farm
ers who have definite Information in
regard to the acreage Of their pas
lures, and the actual gains made by
their stock vii give this information
to Mr.. Carrier, so his report will he
complete and show the conditions
which prevail here.
