Hum) POTENCY OF THE PLOW. ?_ A IMusj in Be TlMMftM ol When speaking Ahout National Life. The plow tells the story of Civillsa tion and advancement more eloquent? ly than any other agency having to do With the building <>f nations. Bven more potent is the plow than institu? tions of learning?our schools, col? leges and universities, says The Hous? ton Post. DoWtng into the musty rec? ords of the pant WO find that the na? tions that depend upon Other agen? cies than the pl< W to place them upon a pedestal of permanent prosperity wer?, the Aral to deeay. Universities and academiei art' wonderful agencies of refinement. They are great build? ers of character and develop the best In human nature. They train the mind, i harpen the wits, strengthen the ener? gies and give dexterity to the hand. It is from thSSg institutions the war? riors go forth trained in military sci? ence, it is from them'emerge the ar? tisan, the poet, the statesman, the his torlant of ? nation and an sge, These till th* ir places and fill them wi ll, but they can never supplement the plow in developing the resource! of a coun? try nor can they without the potent Influence of the plow build up a na? tion The warrior may eonquer a country and put the resisting hosts to the sword, but the plow must supply the food to the conquering army. States? man shape the nation s policy, but the plow alone develops its latent re? sources. The poet arouses the pariot ism of a people and spurs them on to .1. sdly conflict with the invading hosts, yi t Uli plow must furnish the smews of war. Money and labor may build irri at t Itles, l>ut their permanent pros? perity must depend upon the plow. It in the magic influence of the plow that makes the desert bloom and blossom. Remove the plow from a ? ountry and our powerful banks would topple. Factory's and ware? houses would be confused and close their doors and the dominion of busi? ness would be convulsed and shaken with distress filling the streets. We look upon the locomotive that pulls the palace cars across the great desert and admire the ingenuity and greatness of its massive wheels, its de? fiant scream. It is a magnificent crea? tion, has muscles of power and endur? ance, has fleetness of limb and bright? ness of eye. Hut withdraw the plow and it stands cold, lifeless and inert, exhibiting no Herculean strength. Hut with the plow turning the sod and lay? ing the furrow ami planting the grain, the match is applied and its great massive wheels reveal their power and grandeur and at the bidding of Its master it rushes across the continent, stimulating business and supplying food to the world. Where the plow occupies a place in every home of a nation that nation may be assailed, but never conquered. It will be invulnerable to the invading hoste. But a nation without the plow will crumble into decay as the invad? ing army marches over its plains. A nation cannot endure when its inhab? itants are hungry. Dr. King's New Dls4*overy.

The concrete work on the new tum table In the Atlantic Coast Lino freight yard Ii now m arly completed and the site will soon be ready for the installation of the big aoventy fo< t tum table which was sent here some time ago to be placed In the new yard. The foundation has been fln Ished and the surrounding walls are now nearly completed. At the < ??ai chute a sufficient depth has boon reached In the excavation and men are now at work putting In the concrete foundation for the building. This- will take some time yet, as the concrete has to be given time to settle and dry before further work Is commenced. The contrac? tor has had considerable trouble in his excavation here on account of water and quicksand. Tho track over the cinder pit is now being laid, the workmen having already completed tlie embankment on one Bide and being now engaged in building up the track on tlie other. The track leading into the pit, where cats will be loaded with the cinders, Is also being laid. Besides those improvements now] finder way it is probable that In the near future a new Bet of scales Will be placed on the had track for weighing cars and a ladder track provided, so that engines can be cleaned mote easily than heretofore. An A. C. L. engineer from Rocky Mount arrived the first of the week to act as Inspector for tlie railroad, while the more particular parts of the work is being done. Mr. B. J. Sehab SlltS, the contractor, has a good force of hands employed and the work is proceeding steadily. VISION OF VULTURES. Unman F.yoslght Not to lie Compar? ed With it. Compared with our human eyesight the vision of birds of prey is marvel? ous. The bird student is often amaa ed at the immense distance at which hawks, eagles and vultures eun dis? tinguish objects, it is a well authen ! tlcated fact that vultures do not find j their food by the sense of smell. .Many years ago Charles Darwin ex? perimented with the carrion birds of South America, and found that so long as the food wae concealed from sight, no matter how putrid and ill-smelling it Wiis, the birds failed to detect it. Other observers have reached the Sams conclusion. A frhnd of the Youth's Companion writes: *I was detailed for service with some troops that were moving along the Mexican border, One evening we camped near a small stream on the WtJStern slope of the hills east from j San Diego. During the night one <?r ihe wagon mules died, We took the body a short distance from camp and . partly concealed it in a clump of wil? lows. The next morning, after the column had resumed Its march, 1 rode to the summit of the highest hill, Isome three miles Crom our camping ground, and swept the country through a pair of powerful binoculars, "As the glasses moved along the horlson a vulture, a mere speck in the distance, came Into i lo ir held. He was sailing in grout circle- in the blue heavens, mllci away, far beyond the ken of the unaided eye. Suddenly he paused iti his lltght, turned sharply and headed directly for our abandoned camp ground. I watched him until i was convinced that he had discovered the dead mule. ?'Thon i recollected that years ago l had n ad in one of Capt Maytie U? id's boohs something of the habits of v i tures, am' I began to look for others. In a few minutes another appeared, a black speck in the sky, speeding In I the wake of the first; then another an*' another came, from different j points of the compass; then more and more, all hurrying toward their loath? some feast. "While I watched the gathering vultures i roade a little calculation. When tho first vulture discovered tim carcass, he was not visible to the naked eye, and was but a speck through the bli.ulors, That Is, ad? ding the three mllea i had ridden j from ramp to 18, the range of the I binoculars, the bird must have been nearly l'i miles from the carcass, ?'The carcass Itself was partly con? cealed and Invisible from my position except through the glasses. That the vulture depended upon hi- vision alone Is evident, as enough time had not past ? d for any putrefact ive ] chnng< a t" taint the air. "Another Interesting thing was the I-: ?

There is just one point In regard ? to the Increase In the supply of farm j work-stock to which we wish to call attention. The horse and mule fur? nish power at high cost. This is made especially so in the South, because we ! buy large quantities of feeds and j pay not only the cost of producing 1 them, hut also high freight and other handling charges, and because our J cropping system and crops result in these farm working animals being Idle too many days, while the cost of I their keep \? regular and constant. If j we used fewer mules, which do not reproduce, and mot e mares, or if we J bred more of the marei now used, \ this cost of maintenance, In propor? tion to working days, would not be so high. But these are not what we es pe< .ally want to call attention to. There is a marked tendency to Increase the number and size of the farm work animals, hut we fear there is not always the most wise or full? est use of this increased horse or mule power. Unless the increased number of horses and mules is used to advan tage, their possession is a source of loss rather than gain. There are al? ways rush periodl on the farm when more animals can be used profitably than it would be economical to keep throughout the year, simply to have them available for these rush pe? riods. We can not afford to keep animals a whole year for a few months' work. We must plan to keep tlu tn busy, and if there is not farm work for them to do except for a few months each year, they must be made to produce young, or it will not be profitable to keep the Increased numbers. Of course, a better planning of crops and work will provide more continuous work; hut the fact must always lie kept in mind that an idle horce or mule is a most expensive portion of the farm equipment. Again, We fear that the increase in the weight of our farm work-stock, which is apparent to any careful ob? server, is not used to the full extent practicable or desirable. If an 1,100 pound mule is to be used to pull the same implement which the 900-pound mule formerly pulled, the gain is doubtful. In fact, if one-horse im? plements are to be used, the heavy mule or horse has little, if any, ad? vantage in work accomplished, over the light mule, and he always costs from $")0 to $100 more when pur? chased und requires more feed to keep him. To use. economically, the larger numbers of farm work animals which we are providing, we must keep them busy as many days out of the year as possible, and must use mote two-and three-horse implements. Moreover, larger Implements, doing more or better work, are essential, if larger and more powerful horses and nudes are to be more efficient and economical than the smaller ones we have used In the past.?Tait Butler, in The Progressive Farmer.
