If the local committee will pro ride a dairy cow and beef animal, Mr, French will give a short lec ture demonstrating "differen ce in form 61 these two types of cattle. While these subjects will be dis cussed, any others of special in tent may be suggested by those 'present. Every man meets with difficulties in his work and the institute is the place to which our farhlers should bring their dif ficult problems and help each oth er solve thera. There should be no hesitation about any fanner joining in and making these institutes of great good to the county. No one man can alone acquire either by study or .through experience what is peedfulhim to know to do the best farming and therefore if these farmers institutes are made! .occasions for giving, and receiv ing help, for study and compari son of ideas and methods much good can not fail to result to those who take an interest and active part in the work. The above program is given to indicate the nature of the 'Insti tute, but it may be changed or added to, as those present desire, A question boxjrill also be open. Jnto which all are invited to put such questions as they desire dis' cussed. A large number of intelli- cent Questions means an infaront. ing Institute, and special atten tion ,wijl be given to this fea-.ture. i ue t armer s institutes are held for the benefit of farmers, and none but strictly farming questions will be discussed. It is, therefore: especially desired that a large attandence of farmers and their families be secured, and to this end you are urged to be pres ent and to induce your neighbors to do the same.

EDiToa: Coming a few weeks ago as a stranger into Watauga county, 1 warat once struck with the loxurant growth of a handsome grass which I have not seen elsewhere. I learned that the name gi ven it here is "Feath er Grass," which answers r e r y well to its general appearance. A careful analysis convinced me tha t it is the grass to which the botanists have applied the rather formi-dable name of . "JIolcus Lanatns," and which in various parts of the United States is cal led "Meadow son; lirass," . or "Velvet Grass," or "White Tim othy." Qf course, we Tar Heels have a. right to call it "feather crass, " if we choose, though this name is applied elsewhere to a very;difrerent kind of grass. . In order to be sure of my anal ysis, I sent several specimens to the Agricultural Department in Washington and have received a letter confirming the result of my examination. There seems to be great diver sity of opinion in regard to the value of the grass. An English writer says: "This crass is not liked by cattle, either when green or in bay, being too soft, soncy and insipid." Dr. Beal, of the Michigan Agricultural College writes: " It is so soft, velvetly. conspicuous and handsome, that everyone at once becomes inter ested in knowing the name and value, but it is still questionable whether it is worthy of cultiva tion anywhere. Durinc summer on the most old pastmes of New England, we have often seep bunches untouched and going to seed, while June grass, red top and white clover were kept closely crapped." On the other hand, Dr. Phares, of .Mississippi maya: "It consti tutes nine-tenths of all the so called mesquit grass planted in the Southern States It grows much larger in the South than in the Eastern States or England; and it seems too, to be more val u a b 1 e and greatlySmproved here." ,, ; I have ma le some inquiries a mong the farmers about Banners Elk, and, while there is some di versity of view, the general esti mate of its valur is devidedly fa vorable. . The national Agricultural De partment desires to collect infor mation in regard to the econo mic value of this grass and has requested me to cet the views of the farmers and stock-raisers of this region upon this point. Until AucuHt25th, ray address will be Banner Elk, and after that date, Asheville, N. C. Re sponse from any of your readers stating what their experience has shown them qf qualities, good, bad, or indifferent in this grass, will be gratefully received by me and duly appreciated by the De partment of Agriculture.

The eyes ged st rained with peer ing into the unknown. We. can not penetrate the evil which the Father hangs over coming days as tbe light gauze of mist over the gaunt hills or the smiling pas ture lands. It is better not to know. The joy hidden in theyears would unfit us for common task. whilst the dread, apart from the i sight of .His all-sufficient grace tuat waits to succor us, would paralyze. Jt ;is His mercy that puts its hand over our eyes. But if by the constitution of our minds we must anticipate the 'future, then let us believe that it is radi diant with His presence, filling each moment to its outermost rim. No day, whatever it takes, can deprive us of Him. Each day will utter to the next some speech of His love. All the days linked together and entwined with .His present grace will make a golden chain of holy and blessed living.
