Thursday, November 4, 1909. THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER. 10 THR EE Otfi CENT U RY IDEAS THE NEW Solid-breech, Hammerless (f )) SSJLLViJ' vDonom ejection A X.ZZ RIFLE V y DEMINGTON GUNS lead the world in modern ideas. The Remington Pump Gun is the only gun of its type which combines the three Lined Shot Shells indispensable improvements: 1 . Solid Breech ; 2. Hammerless ; 3. Loading and ejection of shells at the bottom. Absolutely safe and easy to handle because of perfect balance. Although graceful and beautiful, it stands the roughest usage. THE NEW REMINGTON .22 REPEATER embodies the Remington Solid Breech Hammerless Idea. Suitable for all small game because it shoots .22 short, long and long rifle cart ridges. Will wear a lifetime because you can take it apart, clean it from the breach and thus prevent the barrel from "rusting out. Get the new Remington and get the many improvements found in no other. Accurate, pretty and moderate in price. If your dealer can't show you the new Remingtons, write us for literature THE REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, Ilion, N. Y. Agency, 315 Broadway, New York City A FTER nearly 40 years experience in making "the best shells on earth, we find that a tough band of steel around the smokeless powder makes our Arrow and Nitro Club shells better, stronger and safer. The Steel Lining protects the gun, keeps out the moisture and makes the shell shoot better in every way. There are many kinds of unlined shells but it should be easy to remember the UMC Steel Lined kin d from the round red trade mark on the shell box. There is no addi tional charge for the steel protection. MADE FOR REMINGTON AND ALL OTHER SHOTGUNS. Game Laws Free. The UNION METALLIC CARTRIDGE COMPANY, Bridgeport, Conn. Agency, - v 315 Broadway.

Duroc-Jerseys were shown by W. S. Eaton, of Morehead City, and T. Jeff. Stephenson, local breeder. The entries made by Mr. Eaton were de serving of special commendation. The' boar and two gilts exhibited would have made first-class compe tition in any Duroc Jersey show. Smoothness, uniformity, breed type and quality were points especially noticeable. The other herd owned by T. Jeff Stephenson was very cred itable indeed, second premiums be ing awarded to this party on boar and sow over six months and under twelve months. A single exhibit of Yorkshires was made by the Wheeler Homestead, of Kankona, N. Y. This display was very meritorious and educational. An entire herd was in evidence and consequently firsts and seconds awarded accordingly: Two females and one male of this breed were sold in the State. Results from breeding this type of hog in the South should be watched with great interest, as there is no doubt but what, the-bacon breed should and will predominate under our condi tions. -r- W. Beavers, of Apex, N. C, showed a small herd of Poland Chi- ri;i, The Tarn worth was exhibited by I: A. -Allen, of Neuse River, N. C. Poor Showing of Sheep. The sheep classes were not filled a- they should have been, but some -use is offered for this condition -isidering the fact that the classi fication does' not provide for the individual breeds, but rather for the three types long wools, short wools and medium wools. This condition should be all means be remedied and no doubt will be in the near future. The only exhibitors in the sheep class were J. F. Homewood, of Bur lington, N. C, and Occoneechee Farm, of Hillsboro, N. C. The Occo neechee Farm was awarded first on ram two years old or over. For the flock premium J. F. Homewood was awarded first prize, the Occoneechee Farm not having a full class. Three flocks of Angora goats were shown. The largest and decidedly the best flock was shown by the Diamond "V" Angora goat ranch, of Rock Castle, Va. Firsts were awarded to this farm in every case; seconds, to Occoneechee Farm. The flock from Virginia was deserving of special merit owing to the splendid type and quality and uniformity of the fleece. Next year it is hoped that more adequate accommodations can be provided, both in the way of build ings to house the stock and premium money for the exhibitors. The cat tle tick once disposed of, the way should be fairly well opened for a splendid live stock show at Raleigh, so much needed for educational pur poses.

(Continued from Page 3.) without a long course of study and preparation. The things we know most of and can do best are those in which we are most interested. An early knowledge of the facts and principles underlying household and farm practices and operations will do more to develop intelligence, in dustry, and a worthy ambition in our farm boys and girls than all other things combined. How is this de sire for useful knowledge to be in spired and the reading habit form ed? They will rarely be accom plished unless one or both parents possess them and then only gener ally when a complete spirit of inter est, sympathy and comradeship is maintained between the boys and girls and their parents or teachers. Just as we believe the mother wields the greatest influence over the char acter of the boy or girl, so we be lieve that the mothers of the South are most largely responsible for the lack of knowledge and Interest In household economics among our girls and for the lack of desire for farm life among our boys. To make the most out of the boys and girls we fear the fathers and mothers will have to be regenerated or inspired with a desire for knowledge for the power it gives to do life's work. A College Education Possible VERY BOY and girl will not and could not get a college education, and it may be ask ed why a college education is neces sary when knowledge has and may be obtained through reading,, study and observation, without the aid of the college. As the first thousand dollars , is the hardest to make and save, so the first and fundamental AHY WOOO IN ANY POSITION ON ANY CROUNO lnn ft M.

NEW YORK CITY. knowledge is most difficult to get In fact, without help it will generally never be obtained. The college Is the best, surest and quickest means of getting a start in education and in most instances gives that of value which is not obtained elsewhere. If we are to do justice to our boys and girls we must do everything possi ble to inspire a desire to acquire a college education. We do not even need to furnish them money to ob tain this college education if we can inspire sufllcient desire for it. To do this we must ourselves appreciate and respect such education. Any boy or girl with a sound body and mind who desires it sufficiently can without financial help acquire a col lege education. Our duty, then, is by example and precept to inspire our boys and girls with sucn a desire, and we may do this with complete confidence that it will pay. : It may not supply the boy or girl with "common" sense but it will enable a be'tter use of that already possessed, and tend to a broader,, fuller and bet ter life. Knowledge is power the greatest power.
