the price of beef cattle is higher than

almost anywhere. A Salisbury meat
dealer went to Charlotte a few lavs
ago and offered 4 rents a pound for
40 cattle on foot and failed to get
any. Little calves are being butch
ered in great numbers. Milch cows
are being sold to the butchers for
lx'ef, cattle being so scarce. There
will be a great demand for the next
few years at least and the price will
be high. Attention should be given
to this important matter. Fanners
should pay more uttentiou to the
raising of grasses, clover and other
feed stuff. All the grass not used
for pasturage should be carefully
saved and stored for winter use. Hay
and straw brought 100 per cent,
more in price in Asheboro this spring
than ever before, due iu a large meas
ure to the failure of farmers last
summer and fall to save feci, us they
should. Thousands of acres of stub
ble with gross and rag weed could
have been saved and fed to cattle or
old at good prices. It is true last
year was an unusually dry year and
the hay crop short, as well as all
grain crops, corn especially, by rea
son of which the price has been titiu
snally high, so there it good reason
for the planting of a large crop this
year. There is every reason that
good price will be maintained for
the crops grown by the farmers in
this section of the State. Tht farm
er who fails to prepare well the soil
and plant and cultivate well large
uarctigo, will no donbt have good
cause lor regret in the fall.
The indications an that this will
be a large crop yeaa hence, the far
ther reason for everybody going to
work and cultivating large crops.

One hundred mid fifty years ago
old Dr. Johnson said, "A cow is a
very good animal in a Held, but keep
her out of the garden, anil sure
enough it was a cow our own cow
and she was not far nwoy from the
rows of English peas that were in

and mv wifo lighted the lantern, and
irith tiie girls, made haste to e.K'l

and, of course, I was not allowed to

an emergency like this. The cow
boys in Texas never trotted around
with more alacrity than did my wife
and these cowgirls move after that
cow. "Keep liar away from the
peas," cried a maternal voice. And
I echoed the speech of Patrick
Henry, who said, "It is in vain to
cry peas when there is no pens."
The old hussy tan by the gate three
times and took the grand rounds
with half a doz.cn calves visible ami
invisible following her, but finally
gave it up and went out and was put
in her pen. Old Atmt Dolly is our
milk woman, and declares she "fast

the garden say she didn't. But the
garden has a gate, too, anil 1 remeni

morning before it rained that I might
u'o out and cut the asparagus for
dinner, and 1 ilid, and 1 reckon I
left the gate open. "But nil's well

to shut it, and they have an idea
that I am tust here for their pleas

"The Cause of I sbor is Ihe Caaae of
Humanity," Ssys Bishop Spaldinf.
Bishop Spalding, who was a mem
ber of the Anthracite Mine Strike
Commission, in a lecture on labor
problems at the Colisiuni in Chicago
recently, spoke us follows:
"Laws are not made for the great
corporations. What a gain for the
entire world, if all dehumanized men
should get out. We have means
enough, we cau do without capital
ists who are coming among us and
live on the blood of human beings.
"The cause of labor, If rightly un
derstood, is the cause of humanity.
Whut labor desires first of all is not
charity, but justice. We Americans
are using up too rapidly the resources
oi nature and are using up too rap
uuy nunian lives.
"One of the greatest fallacies o!
the ages is that money is equivalent
to human lives. The spirit of com
mercialism is sinking deeper and
deeper into us. Whatever a man sets
Ins heart on must increase or
ceases to satisfy him.
"What wo need iu America is
realization of spiritual ideas and the
realization that the lest things in
life are not procured by money,
Vt ages are never the full eutiivalen
for human work. There is a quality
in nil men which goes fur bevond
the micHtion of wages.
"One of the great curses of the
modern world is the vast conglonier
ation of people in huge cities. The
idea of civilization is a country of
cities of from 20,000 to 50,000 in
habitants. If it were not for great
cities we could do away with the
evils brought upon us by corrupt
politicians.
There is nothing which can give
us relief from those conditions with
the exception of trades unionism
The history of trades unionism is
largely the history of beniflcence
"The strike is the one weapon of
organized labor, hut it is as danger
ous to labor as it is to capital.

The output from a cord of fat
pine wood is about ninety gallons of
turpentine, ml and tar, divided as
follows: turpentine, gallons;
oil, 40 gallons; tar, 25 gallons.
Fat pine wood is obtainable in the
