' ' W: M. 'Justice's article on edu cation which appeared in last wppVs News I is the kind of matter this office likes to receive. These columns are always ready for such matter from the people and Mr. Justice is urged to con tinne. rite contributions to THE The sentiment of th people of Columbus, Greens Creek and hite 6ak townships in favor of the railroad? is practically unanimous, Nofy let Cooper Gap join us in sentiment and strike for progress while the iron is hot and let us not lag behind longer. Make up your mind not to listen to the calamity, howlers and dare to strike a blow for industrial lib erty and progress and you will never regret it. ; Good Sense And Grace. V I have peered into quiet "par lors where the carpet is clean arid not old, and the furniture polished and bright; into 'rooms' ' where the chairs are neat and the floor carpetless; into "kit chen" where the family live and the meals are cooked and eaten. and the bovs and jnrls are as blithe as the sparrows in the thatch overhead, and I see that it is hot ,so much wealth and learning, not clothing, nor ser vants, nor toil, nor idleness, nor town, rior country, nor station, .as tone and temper, that render homes happy or wretched. And I see, too, that in town or country good sense and God's grace make life what no teachers or accomplishments or .means or society can make it the opening stave of an everlasting Psalm; the fair beginning of an endless existence; the goodly, modest, well-proportioned vestibule to a temple of God's building that shall never decay, wax old, or vanish away. Dr. John Hall. FARMERS' I N S TITUT E INTERESTING ! Many People Atfcnded And Received Valuabfe "Information Whit The Men Spoke About. The Farmers' Institute Friday was well attended considering the bad weather and much inter e3t wa j manifested. The morn- ing session opened . at eieveji o'clock by Prof. , H. Hr Hume, State Horticulturist, who spoke . . - i on now to improve our sons, suggesting the rotation of crops for the building up of land, as for example : First year, corn , cowpeas at last working. Sec ond year, cowpeas. Third year, wheat, red clover. Fourth year, red clover. Dr. Tait Butler, State Veter inarian, spoke on the relative feed value of corn and stover. He advised the cutting of the whole stalk, separation of the ears and the feeding of the stalks, blades, and shocks as "stover' ' or to be shredded if possible, rather than the prevailing method of pulling fodder, which prevents the corn from aquiring its full weight and quality. At the afternoon session Prof. Hume continued his talk on soil mprovement. Mr. T. B. Parker spoke on alfalfa and its value as an hay crop, being rich in protein. Alfalfa grows best in dry sandy soil. Mr. Parker told farmers who wished to plant it to send to he Department of Agriculture for the Alfalfa Bullentin 214 and Bacteria Bulletin 215. Dr. Butler spoke on cattle rais- ng and pointed out with the as sistance of a chart the difference between dairy cattle and beef cattle. . ' An interesting feature of the nstitute was the "question box" by which inquiries were answer ed by Prof. Hume and Dr. Butler. COLUMBUS NEWS. TRYON NOTES.
