Very often we hear people say
that it is cheaper to buy meat
than to raise it. And men who
call themselves farmers talk this
way, too. Mr. Braxton Phifer
of this township tells us that he
has kept an accurate account of
every item of expense attached to
the raising and fattening of a
pig which he killed one day last
week was seven months old
and weighed pounds. Mr.
Phifer states that bis meat cost
him just cents per pound. At
the present of pork, which
is cents, the amount saved by
fattening his own meat is cents
per pound. These figures show
very clearly that the pork
raised at less than half what it
would cost at the store. But in
the face of these and other
figures alarming, some
farmers persist in buying West-

Saturday's Very Helpful and
for The Reflector.
The meeting of the Pitt County
Association held in the
chapel of the graded school. Sat
morning, was very well
attended considering the cold
weather. The devotional
were conducted by Rev. D.
W. Arnold.
Mr. Austin came first on the
program. He made an
clear and helpful talk
on the of the
In a skillful introduction
he prepared his hearers and
led them up to his subject with
the ease of one who knows how.
In brief, he said that the purpose
of a recitation determines its
essentials and that this purpose
should be the mastery of the
gem, principles subject,
and the application of them to
the end that we may lead
happier, healthier and more
useful lives. To teach, test and
train is the opportunity of the
teacher in a recitation; to learn
and to apply is the opportunity
of the pupil. Then he asked the
question, the process
of and in a simple
and -clear way explained how
sensations reach the brain by
means of the nervous system.
In the stream of consciousness
that constantly flows before the
mind we may arrest a certain
subject, hold it up before con-
and examine it until
thoroughly acquainted with it.
This is attention, the first
lbs recitation- By what
means may the stream of con-
be stopped so
what we wish may be held up
before minds of the pupils
Interest will do this. Interest is
a feeling of value, a sense of the
worth of knowledge gained.
There must be a kernel in the
nut to help appetite of
knowledge. Then lastly
teacher must make things real
to pupils. Much of the stuff
given pupils always remains
stuff does not get worked
up into real boy or real girl.
things taught must be a
living reality to the teacher and
must be brought into and
vital contact with the pupil.
Miss then read a
paper on to get and hold
She spoke in a
helpful and practical way, saying
that thorough preparation on the
part of the teacher is
mental principle of getting and
keeping attention. That help
may be found in using
maps, pictures and various
devices; and that often
change of position and
change of the plan of the
is of incalculable assistance.
Mr. from a
point of view discussed the
of reviewing
briefly the stage of apprehension
when a subject ii seen in its
unity, that of comprehension
when its are viewed. By
the process of synthesis the old
and new knowledge is
