A great territory of this Slate will
be cleared this seaoon. Moot of
Virginia is clear, except the tide
water region, notably around Nor
folk, where there is yet much free
range, where, of con rue, no work
can be done, as cattle cannot be
controlled. The smallest kind of a

Spread out a map of the world,

modern civilization; those are the
countries that suffer most from the
cancer plague. Iu the eaxlern
world, uot Asia or Africa, but en
lightened Kurope; in the western,
not Mexico, Honduras, or Panama,
but the United States and Canada
them are the countries most
grievously alllicted. No savage
tribe is almolutely immune, but
caucer afsails moat violently those
peoples that have reached the high
est points in civilization. And not
only this, but it apparently bears
heaviest upon the uiont sanitary
aud euliglitciied parts of tliene
countries. In hurune the nations
that suffer most are uot Russia or
Hungary or Italy or Spain, but
Germany, France, Sweden, Nor
way, and, above all, Kuglaud. In
London, the greatest mortality in
found, not in the Kant Kud, but in
Hampstead, Marylebone and Chel
sea, which include the city s
wealthiest part. Similarly, in
New Y'ork, the Ruwian Jews and
Italians who so largely populate
the crowded tenement sections are
comparatively immune, whereas
the more sanitary parts of the town
are favorite breeding places.
Where diseases of known conta
giousness, like tulierculoxis, ty
phoid fever, diphtheria and pneu
monia, most aliound, cancer seems
to find a less strong foothold than
in other more salubrious sections;
as by some mysterious and inex
orable law of compensation it HikIh
its way mainly into the homes of
the prosperous and enlightened.

That Dr. Miller stood iu real

serled by Mr. Nightingale and

The farm is rapidly hming its
paat good reputation as a .health
resort. As a matter of fact, the
health conditions of nine out of ten
farm homes would fail to pass the
sanitary requirements of any city,
and the knowledge of this is liu
posing a heavy coat 0on the far
mers. Roanoke Times. The far
mers are certainly not as well up
ou sanitary matters as the people
in the towns sud cities. For one
thing, there is not in the country
the machinery for disseminating
sanitary information that there is
in the city. The daily (tapers, the

the people in the city to keep post

he said, F.arly will probably lie

pulp mill where he formerly work

Karly was kept in isolation at

way to the t-ily and achieved
pheuoiuinal eucees there. Such
careless n-ruaiks are due to ign
ranee aud lack of appreciation of
what the country hoy aud go I
really accomplish in the world's
work. When the real makers of
the citie are roircctly caU!''ie t
people will we among them tuoie
of the country's rugged aireuiMh
aud true manhood than it aecnis lo
expect. There is about tlie city a
certain amount of fri ohms display
that deceives some ieople, making
them believe that it is true micci-m
and worthiueHS. Thin is noticeably
absent iu the average country Uy
aud gill who goes ou to do the
task net Wore them, raring little
for appearance or what impres
sion their hoiiet service may make

much of the city world view the
proect iu a light manner and
thiuks that man ha accomplished
very little iu the world. They for

with it Ktreugth aud energy and
that the salvatiou of this land is
resting in the hands of the country
boys and girls. If you wonder w by

petty amuaetucuts that teud always

and bet iu life, makes some sort of
a success. The obscure toil of the
country hoys and girls will some
time receive the honor due it,
though it makes no dill'ereuce any
way for that. Hums has truly ex
pressed it in those lines:
"What tho" on homely fare we dine.
Wear hislilen-irrav. and a' that:

wine.
A man's man for a' that.

The honest man, tho'er mt issir.
