It is quite certain that a large majority of our farmers are not getting as good result from their farming operations as is possible withot increasing either labor or expense. Take for instance our great crop, corn. Do the 2,750,000 acres planted in corn produce what they should? Can we nqt increase the yield and the net profit by better methods? Do we select the seed in the best way? Do we plant the best va rieties? Are the right kinds and amounts of fertilizers used and applied in the best way? Is our method of cultivation the best and done at the least expense? Is the crop harvested so as to secure the greatest feed value from it and at the least expense? As long as the average yields for the State remains below fif teen bushels per acre it is certain that the average man still has much to learn about growing corn and it is probable that the best corn grower can also learn some thing still improve his methods? The purpose of the farmers institute is to discuss just such questions relating to corn culture and similar questions about all j other crops and farming ope rations. If the farmers of the county will come out and discuss i such questions with a view of in creasing their knowledge and im proving their farming this insti tute may be of untold value to the county.

C, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1907. Warrenton Awake. Much Building" Activity in the Town. (Special to News and Observer.) Warrenton, N. C, June 20.- Warrenton has a building boom on, and street improvements are going forward as never before in the history of this good old t jwn inhabited by as hightoned, law abiding citizenship as may be found in any community. The large new and handsome brick court house, to cost about twenty thousand dollars, rapidly nearing completion. Court is being held up stairs while work is going on. There is no town in the State for its size that has a handsomer or better newly fitted up postoffice than Warrenton. It has only been occupied since the first of May. It was built and is owned by the Bank of Warren. Adjoining the postoffice W. A. Miles & Co are building a new brick hard ware store, a basement and two stories. The ground is being prepared upon which a new municiple building will be erected. This is to be a large and commodious building. On the ground floor will be the market, fire depart ment and station house. On the upper floor will bean opera house, mayor's office and all other neces sary apartments. The Warrenton Railroad Co nas purchased a lot in tne nor thern part oi tne town, upon which they will begin soon to erect a massiv epassengar station and freight warehouse. The first of last month Warren ton voted a special tax of twenty cents on the hundred dollars, for the purpose of raising funds to build a public school, to cost about 1,500 to $2,000, work upon which will begin soon so as to have it ready for the opening ses sion next fall. Dr. King is renovating and otherwise improving his brick building on the corner of Main and Market streets. Beginning from the depot.run ning South on the east side, a new granolythic . sidewalk has been put down, from ten to twelve feet wide, and when completed will be about one mile long. There are a good mang other improvments going on in the town that cannot be mentioned in this commu nication, but there is one thing certain, with such fine water, pure air, good people, and splen did farming lands all around, there is no reason why Warren ton should not build up and go forward more rapidly within the next two or three years than she has in the last ten.

In February, 1S14, the French army made a ueroic stand against the allied foj-ces of Europe, and la one week re trieved for a shert but glorious period Its lost prestige. Though composed largely of half raw recruits, It escaped from the very center of 250,000 foes, attacked an army of 70,000 men, won 4 battles and captured GS cannon, 5 generals and 28,000 prisoners! After the terrible fight at Montmirail Major Cancel, staff surgeon to the guard, was attending the wounded as well as he could, close behind the col umns still engaged. Looking up from one unfortunate man whose wounds he was dressing, he perceived within a short distance an old mounted chas seur of the guard, who was tranquilly smoking his pipe and watching tho surgeon. Bancel did. not at first pay any at tention to him. By and by he noticed the man again, still in the same pos ture, tranquilly smoking his pipe. "What are you doing there?" cried the surgeon. "Smoking," answered the man. "Does the major forbid me to smoke?'' "What!" returned the officer. "Aren't you ashamed to be loafing around here while your comrades are covering themselves with glory?" The chasseur blew out a cloud of smoke and, driving his right spur into his steed, made him execute a half turn. Then he said, taking his pipe out of his mouth: "Look, major. Don't you think I have got my dose as it is? Can I do anything more?" The major looked. The chasseur's leg was shot off half way between the knee and the ankle, so that his left foot was hanging and dangling against his horse. The veteran's question required no answer. But it may be surmised what care and attention the surgeon lavished on the imperturbable chas seur. LINCOLN'S GROCERY. Result of One Partner's . the Other Partner's Hunger Thirst. and A giant in stature, he was as awk ward as he was strong. His rustic ap pearance was enhanced by an ill fitting suit of homespun. Thus at the head of the ox team he made his debut in the outer Avorld, without means, without education, without influence. This may seem a sorry beginning, but let it be remembered that if on that day he had graduated from Harvard in a fashion able coat the gates of history would probably have been closed against him. Mr. Lincoln's first business venture resulted in downright failure. He formed a partnership with one Berry, under the firm name of Berry & Lin coln, to carry on a grocery, for the pur chase price of which the firm note was given. Berry was a jolly, irresponsible soul, who was born thirsty and who gave his undivided attention to tnac part of the stock known as "wet gro ceries." Mr. Lincoln, on the other hand, having a keen appetite, devoted himself to the crackers and cheese, smoked herrings and' other edibles at the dry end of the shop. This happy adjustment rivaled the familiar case of Jack Sprat and his congenial spouse, but the meager stock could not long withstand the inroads of hunger at the one end and thirst at the other, and a crisis came which required the sale of the remnant of stock. The purchaser defaulted, and Mr. Lincoln was left to pay all ine liabilities a tasic wnicn plagued him for several years. There by he had impressed upon him a legal proposition that a partner is liable in solido. It is related that Mr. Lincoln bought barrel of a customer, in the bottom of which, among other rubbish, was found a copy of "Blackstone's Com mentaries." This was a great find for the law student, but as the book there after engrossed his attention the gro cery business collapsed. Thus ended the first lesson J. V. Quarles in Put nam's. A "Jumbie Bird." In the West Indies is found a bird called the sunset bird, because half an hour before sunset and half an hour before sunrise it utters its peculiar cry of "Soleil coucher!" The natives call it a "jumbie bird" (a bird possessed of the devil) and say that to kill it would bring death to its slayer. Another bird found in the same region is the "Sou- fiiere bird,'' which makes its home near the volcano or sourriere, ana among the natives there is a strong be lief that the first individual to see thi3 bird will die, while the most horrible torture by evil spirits awaits the man who kills it Minneapolis Journal. - Call Early For Good Ones.

This forage is especially fine for summer !asture after clover and other grasses lave died, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. The plant requires a rich, moist seed bed. . For early pasture the seed should bo town about the time to plant corn. Other seedings may be made for later crops up till the 1st of August. When it is soavu broadcast it requires from four to five pounds of seed per acre. If sown in drills, from two to three pounds are sufficient. It should be sown near the hog lots, so the fences can be changed with the least possible trouble. If it is not convenient to fence the plat, you can cut the rape and feed it in the pen. While rape does not contain a great deal of food elements, it is valuable as a balance for the concentrated grains. It has been found that when fed with grain one acre of rape has a feeding value equivalent to 2,G37 pounds of grain. One or two experiments show that young pigs thrive better when pastured on rape than on clover. The hogs usually eat more of it than of clo ver. The Cheshire Hog. The Cheshire swiue resemble the Middle Yorkshire In form. It is a medium sized breed, although there are numerous records of pigs dressing over 400 pounds at nine months of age. It is a long bodied animal and weighs more than appears at first sight. The quality of the meat is first class, very fine grained and, if not overfat,. very desirable for bacon. Experiments at the Maine station show the Cheshire leading in gains per day as compared with Yorkshires, Chester Whites, Poland-Chinas rfind Berkshires. The Chesh ire is a go-ii breeder, producing fair ly large litters. The native home of the pig is in northern New York, where it was produced by crossbreeding of Yorkshires and Suffolks and native stock. It is white in color, sometimes with black spots Farm Progress. Selecting a Breed of Hogs. The well known swine breeder, A. J. Forejoy of Illinois, says that the large early maturing type of hog is the work of niany j-ears' breeding, feeding, care and management and that the first 100 pounds of such pigs cost much less thau the next 100 and that the cost of food in supporting them is but one fourth as much for the first 100 pounds as the fourth 100 cost. The risk is also much less in grow ing hogs that can be put on the mar ket at the age of six to eight months than in having to carry them along well over the winter. To get this or a heavier weight better raise two crops of pigs a year from the sows and sell them at a light weight than one crop carried on to a heavier weight. An English Dairy Cow Ration. An English farmer's dairy ration for a herd of high class Jersey cows is as follows: During the summer each covf is fed daily, iu addition to grass, two pounds of crushed oats, four pounds of wheat bran, two pounds of cottonseed cake, two pounds of bean meal, fifteen pounds of mangels, ten pounds of cut hay and eight pounds of long hay per head. The grain and cake are mixed with the" cut hay, scalded and fed in the other feeds, one in the early morning and the other in late afternoon. The roots are fed after milking in the morning, and the long hay is fed after milking in the evening. Treatment For Barbed Wire Cuts. The following is said to have been proved an excellent treatment for barbed wire cuts: Wash the cut thor oughly with castile soap, using tepid Avater. After washing it spray the wound with a weak solution of carbolic acid and then dust over it all the fresh air slaked lime that will adhere. This treatment should be given every day. No wrapping or covering is needed. The same treatment would doubtless be good in cases where horses get their pasterns burned or cut with a rope. Homemade Stump Puller. Make your own stump machine. Go Into the woods and pick out a sapling of beech or iron wood or other strong timber fifteen or twenty feet long and seven or eight inches through at the butt. Fasten the log to the stump with a stout chain. Sometimes you can get a good hitch around some big root. Hitch the team to the outer end of the lever and drive around the stump. The twisting avIII take out a pretty good sized stump and do it quite easily. Farm Journal. Fecundity of Swine. Professor Rommel of the national bu reau of animal industry says his inves tigations show that the sows of the Poland-China breed haA-e increased in fecundity during the past twenty years. A ten year experiment shows that, While the Poland-China litters average 7.52, the Duroc-Jerseys average 9.20. Farmers AdA-ocate. Poultry Notes.

The late Canon ITacColl was a tiny man with a tiny voice, yet lio K'as regarded as a friant among con troversialists, and his voice reached to- Europe. His A-oicc proceeded from behind a mask, Avhich men thought concealed the features of a greater man. His letters to the Times denouncing Germany in gen eral and Bismarck in particular over the Franco-Prussian war were signed Scrutator. They Avere read Avith the closest attention, for ev-erj-body outside Printing House square seems to have believed that (they Avere the letters of Gladstone. In this belief European statesmen j poured missives upon the author of the letters, Jetting light into the strangest official secrets and treat ing him. with the p'rofoundest def erence. The letters were sent to the office of the Times, and great Aras the enjojonent of the canon as he read them. Possibly Gladstone did not knoAV that he Avas regarded as the author, of the letters. Be that as it may, he Avas as much in the dark as the rest of the Avorld. Max Muller Avas among those most deceived and in one of his letters during the contro versy quaintly apologized for any, seeming deficiency in his argument, pleading that, while he used "only, a Avooden sword' he Avas called I upon to Avithstand in argument s "one of the most poAverful athletes of our time, one Avho Avielded the Arery brand Excalibur." The "most poAverful athlete" whom Muller had in. mind Avas, of course, Gladstone. Tho German emperor Avas as effec tively puzzled and caused a letter to be Avritten suggesting that tho time had come when the Avriter might raise his visor and reveal his iden tity. The canon still lay low, en joying, the fun. Bismarck had con templated suing the author of the letters for libel, but when he was eventually let into the secret anger had disappeared, and he sent him a cordial invitation to Friedrichsruh.

Xew York Times. Common Spiders. Spiders are more varied and plen tiful than is' commonly supposed. In almost every locality in the coun try at least 300 or 400 species may be collected. In summer spiders abound on all kinds of plants, from grass to trees. It is only Avhen tho Avebs are covered Avith deAV that they become especially conspicuous. The Avebs are then no more plentiful, but I often hear the question asked on dewy mornings or foggy days, "What makes so many more cob Avebs than usual today?" The col lecting moisture makes especially noticeable the flat Avebs on the grass. These are made by mem bers of the agalenidae family of spiders. Each has a noticeable tube at one side in which the spider lives. St. Nicholas. Michael's Interpretation.
