Horse Breeding in Brazil.

Any project which has for it's pur-
pose the betterment of animal breed
ing is certain to attract attention In
Brazil, since the country has come to
realize It's full possibilities in ranch
ing and similar operations, writes Con-
sui General Alfred L. M. Bottschalk,
Rio de Janeiro. The development has
been going on slowly and almost i'm
perceptibly for several years. Some
ranch owners at their own expense
have imported various types of cattle
and experimental individually with
crossbreeding. Work in this direction
also has been done by the National So
ciety Of Agriculture in Rio de ia
neirO, seconded by state cattle assO-
Citations and ranchmen's leagues.
Recently commission appointed by
the president Of Brazil for the study
and conservation Of the national re-
sources has been at work on census
of live stock, taken from the reports
Of municipalities.

oiI-YieIdIng Plants In Denmark.

At a large, meeting of farmers as
sOciations recently held in Copenha-
gen, there was much discussion about
the planting of oil-yielding plants, such
as flax and hemp. There has been a
general tendency toward increasing the
areas planted to grain, but on account
Of the growing scarcity of fats and
edible oils, it now seems to be desir-
able to grow more oil-yielding plants,
especially as the residue left after
pressing out the oil (Oil cakes) will
help to supply the great deficiency in
cattle feeds.

Miss Ellen Elliott Dies In North
CaIyiind.

Miss Ellen Ellictt entered into rest
at ST. Leo's Hospital in Greensboro,
N. c., on the morning of May 21st.
She had been suffering from pllArsy
for sometime and was taken to the
hospital just two weeks previous to her
death and arrangements were being
made to take her to the country
when the sudden summons came.
When the announcement of her sudden
death of acute heart failure came to
her sisters family and friends, it was
a complete shock.
Nellie, as she was known to her
friends, was woman of fine character
and refinement and had many accom-
plishments known only to her nearest
friends, being of very retiring dis
position. She is survived by her sis
ter, Mrs. r. A. Gray, of Guilford Col
lege, N. c., (who with the deceased
little nephew accompanied the re-
mains) and five brothers, William,
Ted, John, George and Percy Elliott,
and her step-mother, Mrs. M. j. A.
Elliott.
After a short service conducted by
her sisters pastor, DR.. Chas. F. Myers,
of the First Presbyterian Church.
Greensboro, N. c., the remains We're
brought to her former home at Char
les Town where the funeral services
were held at the home of her brother
Mr.. John G. Elliott, conducted by Rev.
]. S. Alfriend of the Episcopal Church
and the Rev. w. H. Best, of the Metho-
dist Church, at 2:30 p. M. Interment
being in Edge Hill Cemetery. Many
beautiful tributes of flowers came
from friends in Greensboro, besides
the many that came from dear friends
at home.
Nellie was born in Devonshire, Eng
land, and was the second daughter of
the late Thomas Elliott and Maria
Grace Lemon Turst Elliott.

Red Cross Drive Goes -Four Times Over
In Jefferson County.

The drive of the American Red
Cross last week was a great success in
jefferson County as well as in the Ma
ton at large.
The amount raised in the county
was 10,200, which is remarkable
showing, our quota being only $500.
The success of the campaign here
was largely due to the energy put in
to it by the patriotic women of the
county, as well as to the liberality and
patriotism of the people.
This is further proof that Jefferson
County stands and always has stood
second to none in love of home, love
of country, patriotism and valor.
