While we have not at hand any definite statis Our Precious Metals. 5th is interesting: "North Carolina shows up pretty well among the pouthern states in the production of the precious metals for last year. She comes second in the production of gold, South Carolina leading ; and also second In the number of ounces of silver mined. But for the shutting down of some of her gold mines for installing improved machinery and for other repairs she would no doubt have headed the list in the production of this metal." tut The Charlotte Observer makes the following pointed claim for education in a single paragraph, which contains much that is not expressed : "The The Claims for Education. sical powers. But man has been endowed with a mental force by means of which he can harness the giant natural forces ol the streams, the coal mines, electricity, the air and eyen of a something we call ether, in which wire less messages are transmitted. Therefore if it is desired to train the youth to accomplish the best results it is important to train the mind. Education should be the watchword. A knowledge of the natural iorces and the ability to turn them to useful work is all dependent upon the trained mind, viz : education." tut From time to time some or our wise and studiously inclined contempor aries, notably the Greenville Reflector, the Gastonia Gazette, the Charlotte A (Jnestson of Importance. Now, The Commonwealth has a question of some importance to propound to those who can answer it, for not infrequently it involves that which grates on sensitive nerve3. The question is this : Why does a dog howl? Dogs howl under varied and different circumstances and seemingly from different impulses. For instance, when a dng gets left or lost he frequent ly howls, and we conclude that he does so because of sorrow or loneliness ; but what impulse is it which causes a dog to howl when you blow a whistle, sound a flute or horn? Does he howl from sorrow or joy? Or is it be cause it grates upon his nerves? tut Fkequekt reference is made in the prints about the growing importance of the cotton plant. It has not been many years since cotton seed were More Value in the Cotton Crop. value. Now and then people would give a few seed to milk cows, work oxeu and the like, but they had no idea what yalues were attached to the cotton seed in oil and fertilizer. Now, cotton seed are of great value, as every one knows, and every farmer is just as particular with his seed as he is with his cotton. It is about to develop that the cotton stalks are also valuable for maKing fibres for coarse bagging and the like. The News and Observer of the Gth said : "W. H. Croll, a paper manufacturer located at P:n Mountain, Ga., writes the Manufacturers' Record regarding the process and states that he will endeavor to organize a company with sufficient cap ital to build about 100 miles in he South of 25 tons capacity, each to manufacture the new fibre and thus furnish a market for what has here tofore been a waste product." t t t t Mr. Tiios, J. Pence, the able Washington correspondent to the News and Observer, recently wrote that paper as follows concerning the temper The Work of the Watts Law. very striking way the growth of the temperance movement in North Caro lina, and makes clear the fact also that the business of that branch of the government is steadily decreasing in Tar Heeldom, as the result of the op eration of the Watts law. The report which is for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1905, shows that there are only 724 saloons in the State as com pared with a total of 1,185 two years ago, when the Watts law went into operation. Last year license was issued to 817 retail liquor dealers, a de cline of nearly 100 in the fiscal year just ending. Two years ago there were 40 rectifiers doing business in the State. Today there are only 27. The wholesale liquor dealers have declined numerically from 52 to 39. Even more interesting than these figures is tha showing made in the matter of grain distilleries. Two years ago North Carolina had more of these institutions in operation within her borders than any other State in the Union. The number registered then was 425 and today there are only GG with 37 in actual operation. Tha fruit distillery business, which is even now larger than that of any other State in the Union, has not been hit so h;.rd. Two yeas ago the number of fruit stills at work was 441, while today the number registered is 325, and those in operation number 298. The total number of distilleries in the State wden the Watts law went into op eration was 869 as compared with 392 at the present time, and while this is a' remarkable skrinkage m tha sow-paw industry, North Carolina still has more registered distilleries than any other State. This of course includes the large number of fruit dUtilleries." FURIOUS FIGHTING. "For seven years," writes Geo. W. Hoffman, of Harper, Wash., "I had a bitter battle, with chronic stomach and liver trouble, but at last I won, and cured my diseases, by the use of Elec tric Bitters. I unhesitatingly recom mend them to all, and don't Intend in the future to be without them In the house. They are certainly a won derful medicine, to have cured such a bad case as mine."

The Outlook Good for the Raiser of Pure Bred Live Stock Boom Prices. There is a feeling among breeders of pure bred live stock that the busi ness is on a firm basis, and that it will continue to be so for some time to come. Those familiar with the sit uation agree that the breeder has good reason to look forward to the future, and expect lucrative returns for the capital his business commands, the time required for successful re sults and the necessary skill and pa tience demanded for the - production of salable live stock. Good values at fair figures and an absence of "boom" " prices is a com bination or conditions tnat inspires careful observers with hope for the future. The reaction resulting from some of the inflated high prices of three and four years ago has nearly passed. With business on the upward trend confidence fills the heart of tha breeder. Record breaking prices will appeal to the spectacular loving public, but, in the opinion of the Prairie Farmer, "boom" values strike consternation to the conservative business sense of the breeder. Men who are breeding, grow ing and finishing first-class, pure bred stock should get good prices, but when the values reach that point where the plunger and simon-pure, speculator are encouraged, it has been the his tory of the business that these .charac ters leave a frail of wreck and ruin in tneir wake that injures commercial prospects and casts a foreboding gloom of distrust over the whole live stock business. With good crops insuring money to spend, a liDeral supply of good desir able pure bred individuals, an inclina tion to buy on the merits of the ani- , mal rather than the often misguiding J fallacies of pedigree, and a disposition of many buyers to purchase a limited number of animals of character and quality for the improvement of their herds, droves and flocks is evidence that the actual breeder has little to fear in the future, so long as thes.9 conditions prevail. This is the situa tion as it appears to us at the present time. BUTTERMAKING MADE EASY How Rigging May Be Attached to the Windmill and Made to Do the Light Work. If you are willing to let the wind d& all or most of your little chore work in the way of running the washing ma chine, churn, corn sheller, grindstone, bone cutter and other small machinery about the place, I will tell you how it may be done, says a Nebraska corre spondent of the Farm and Home. Yon can rig up on the pump rod of youi windmill an arrangement such as is shown in the cut that will give you a ro tary power. The material required is a large ccg wheel and a small one, about one-sixU.- PLAN TO OBTAIN ROTARY POWER. the size of the large one. the require ments being that they mesh together perfectly. On the same shaft to which is attached the small cog wheel, a, is ad justed a large balance wheel, b, and ai suitable point at either end or center a small pulley, e, is attached, upon which to run the driving belt. To the shaft on which the large wheel is placed an arm, d, and weight, e, are attached. The arm, d, is divided or built in two sections, so as to fit over a large wheel, g, to fasten to shaft on tha wheel side. On this arm, d, a rachet, h, is so placed that it will catch in the cogs. In this way the windmill rod, i, lifts the weight, e, in its uward motions, so that the weights turn the wheel, g, by the ratchet, h. catching in place in the cogs in its downward motion. The size of the weights used should be ad justed to the requirements of power nec essary to run the machinery connected. SKIMMINGS. Get quality of milk by breeding, and quantity by feeding. Buckwheat in any form is the poorest butter feed. Farm Journal. Discomfort or fright will take butter fat right out of the milk of any cow. If they are yelled at and beaten with a milking stool, the same result will fol low. Unless a hatred to dirt be born in a man he can never be a successful milk producer. If ensilage is fed, the ground corn should be supplemented by wheat mid dlings and bran. Now is the time to put the stables in repair for the winter, if your business Is to be run at a profit. If cows are run from the pastures by a dog or boys, they will give less milk and it will be of poor quality. Of the grains, corn and oats and lin seed meal, together with alfalfa or clover hay, will produce the most satis factory results in the dairy. If they are left out in bad weather un til they are chilled or the stables are cold and full of draughts, the owner will find that his bank account will begin io dwindle. Time for Shelter. When the cows begin to look around for the shelter of trees at night, it is time to get them Into the stable, or af least under the shed. Frost always pinches things. It will pinch the yield of milk if you give it a chance. "SlSF Early Risers Thfj ffttnous little pi!!
