should invest heavily in weed killing
implements, for they will be needed,
not only this year, but next year, and
the next after, and1so on
It is too bad that the villain who
mixes weed seeds into bran and ships
it of to the farmer is not where we can
get hands on him, but is a resident OF
some far-away place and the bran
comes at second or third hand, and the
retailer is perhaps nearly as much vic
timized as the feeder; for he sees his
trade discredited and his neighbors
ruined by the filth he has been instru-
mental in introducing to them.
This is a long argument toward an
honest local miller, who, if he offers
you bran, will sell you bran; and if he
offers weed seeds will tell you what
you are buying and grind them, so you
will not be burdened by weedy crops.

THE DAY OF sO-CALLED SMALL
THINGS.

The farmers of Pennsylvania sell
twenty million dollars worth of butter
every year. What is there to keep
North Carolina from doing as we'll as
this9 1t is not that we are unable to
do So, we can make as much butter as
Pennsylvania al a great deal less cost
per pound. Our farmers have been
taught to look upon making butter,
raising chickens, garden products, ETC.,
for market as too small a business for
them to engage in. Perhaps they think
SIS. 900 net in one year is a small thing;
two young men near New Berne made
this in one year and made it by raising
vegetables and fruits, selling butter,
chickens, eggs, etc. Twenty millions
of dollars is a great big thing, but q
State, not nearly so we'll adapted for
the business of dairying, averages this
sum every year for their butter alone.
A few years ago Norfolk, Virginia,
was not known as a trucking region,
but now many millions of dollars are
annually shipped from the immediate
vicinity of that city. Raising stock,
fruits, vegetables, etc will be found
to prove much more profitable to our
farmers than the way farming has
heretofore been carried on. OF course
we do not suggest that these pursuits
should be followed to the exclusion of
the industries now engaged In, but
they will befound very valuable auxili
aries. There is no reason why farming
IN this section carried on in this~way
shouldn't prove vastly profitable. Our
superior transportation facilities have
placed US, as it were, In the suburbs Of
several OF the great Northern cities
and therefore many agricultural indus
tries will pay extremely we'll at tn 8
point which would not pay at all in
other parts Of the State less fortunately
situated in this respect Rocky Mount

A FRAUD

Mr.. EDITOR:-Last Saturday bought
a ton OF wheat bran and opened a bag
on Sunday. There were a lot of little
black seeds in it. How many farmers
have seen sush7 To day an accurately
weighed pound Of bran from that bag
was taken and sifted in the wind, It
contained 10. SO per cent. of broken,
light grains of wheat, oats, cookie and
chess or cheat seeds. The latter ia the
hardy grass seed which survives when
wheat Is killed out. thus giving rise to
the superstition hat wheat turns to
cheat.
The light kernels of wheat contain a
black OF brown powder, which is in all
probability Sinking smut of wheat,
n of the vilest pests which has come
to plague the wheat grower.
The cookie seed weighed out by it
self proved to constitute 2 ia per cent.
of the weighed sample. SO, if my ton
of bran is no better seeded than this
pound taken from one bag at random,
it holds SIS 48 pounds of cookie seed.
This is about a bushel and has cost me
the same as so many pounds of bran to
cheat my stock, and seed the land, per
haps forever, in cookie. But that is
not all. There were chess seeds enough
to equal 1 OIL per cent, which would
yield at this rate 1929 pounds of chess
seed for the n ton of bran.
At the Exp riment Farm it was found
that two mules, two horses, one wean-
ling colt, fourteen cows, two bulls n
heifer, one old steer and three swine
made Is tons of stable manure per
month.
To feed that number of animals
economically, using bran for the grain
would require about ISL pounds ner
day and In 80 days 81 tons.
Thus the is tons would already have
in it 124 SO pounds of cookie, and As. 5
pounds of chess. There would be
enough of the cookie to seed three acres
and chess enough for two MORE.
Those who feed this kind Of bran

TO PREVENT BUD WORMS FROM
KILLING CORN.

MI. EDTTeR:-About four days before
you wish to plant, treat the seed corn
as follows: Place in a vessel and pour
on warm water sufficient to cover b
corn. Add tar of the pitch pine and
rub with the hands until each grain
has a light coating. Let the corn soak
In this same water for 48 hours. Then
remove the corr and put it in an open
vessel. such as a basket, cover with
cloths, and place in a warm room in
which fire is kept. Occasionally pour
warm water over the corn. In about
two days it will commence sprouting,
when it will be ready to plant. About
one inch long preferable, but the
sprouts may be two or three inches
long.
The corn should be dropped accord
ing to the stand wanted, n grain for
one stalk, two grains for two stalks,
and so on. Before dropping, it would
be well to prepare a loose bed for the
corn by running two or three times
with a coulter, or other narrow plow,
in the furrow that has been laid of for
the corn. The deeper you plow, the
thicker you can drop your corn IN the
drill.
ADVANTAGES OF SOAKING N sPRoUT-
ING.
1. 1t may be regarded as a sure pre-
ventive against the bud or cut worm.
A good stand has thus been procured
in old mill ponds, where it was other
wise necessary to drop six to wen
grains in a hill, and then difficult to
procure a stand.
2. Grows will not modest the corn,
nor will anything else, except moles,
which can easily be destroyed by mix
ing arsenic with corn dough and drop
ping it in their roads.
3. A much better stand can be pro-
cured, thus avoiding, to a great extent,
the necessity for replanting
4. The corn will get a start of the
grass and weeds, thus rendering Guilt
walton easier.
A considerable percentage of the
corn will not sprout; these grains
should not be planted. The first sprout
that comes is a root mot the stalk and
it may be broken off, Dr. cut off, with
out injury; other roots will come out
For Urill corn, people generally lay
off their rows too close. They should
be at least five feet apart (preferably
in line with the sun at 2 p. M and the
corn dropped in the drill from six to
eighteen inches apart, according to the
fertility of the soil and the depth OF
the plowug. BRYAN TYSON.
P. S,-Prof. Massey's r. remedy is to
soak the corn in a solution of carbonate
of ammonia, using about four ounces
to a gallon of water. The ammonia Is
a valuable fertilizer, giving the blades
a dark green color when they first come
up, and Will also prevent the ravages
of insects. If this solution is used, il
is deemed best not to soak longer than
IL hours, lest the germ of the corn be
injured.
A solution of copperas water has
also been recommended very highly.
I have never tested either of the
above, but tar 1 have, time again, with
the best of results. B. T.

DURFEE OR MANSFIELD.
Contest Now On for an important
City Position.

IL is now that rumors become thick
about city hall corridors concerning the
relative chances for reappoinJment of
some of the minor officials, whose hopes
are centered in the City Council caucus
and convention; and those OF the legion
of applicants for their positions.
One of the most pregnant OF these re-
ports is to the effect that Councilman
Philip B. Durfee is after the berth of
superinten ndant OF public buildings, now
held by Albert L. Mansfield, and in fact
Mr.. Durfee admits that he Is a candidate.
He has plenty OF leisure, having retired
from business, and feels that he could
devote his time to the discharge Of the
duties of the office to good advantage.
Aside from being member of the Conn
Gil, Mr.. Durfee is chairman OF the high
way committee-a very important posi-
tion.
He comes from practical business
family, hi father being a prominent con-
tractor and himself having been in busi-
ness for years.
SIR. Duriee and his friends consider his
chances very good.
On the other hand Superintendent
Mansfield Is experienced and in the minds
Of many of the city hall people, as well as
business and social connections, is con-
sidered to be the right man In the right
place.
1t Is understood that Mr. Mansfeld's
friends are confident that he has the ma :
jority of the members of the City Council
with him and that he will make an ex-
cellent showing in the contest now on.
The outcome will be watched with con-
siderable interest.

SIX MURDER CASES.
Lawyer and FOrger Dore Was Doing
Well in Seattle.

BosToN, Dec. 1.-At o'clock this
morning Chief Inspector Watts and In
spector Houghton arrived in this city
from Seattle, Wn., having under ar
est John T.. Dore, formerly a we'll
known lawyer of this city, who is charged
with forgery on four counts, in 1889.
Lawyer Dore was arrested on February "a,
1889, and was charged with uttering u
forged security bond to tho amount
OF $1,000 in the probate court. lie secured
bail at the time in the sum OF 5000 but
whom bis case was called he failed
TO put in an appearance and the
case was orought before the grand jury
and an indie me 1t warrant issued. fhe
warrant charged Lawyer Dore with forg-
ing the name Of Mary Donovan to an
order for money deposited in the Union
Institution of Savings and the sign
ing OF the namo Of Mary j. Collins as a
witness. Another court charged him
with forging the name Of Mary j. J.'Dono-
van on another ord ar on the same bsnk
with the, namo OF Patrick Il. Flynn as a
witness.
When Lawyer Dore left here be went to
Canada and then TO Montana, after
which he made his home in Seattle,
where he had built up a lucrative
law practice. When the Boston inspec-
tors reached Seattle they found that
Mr.. Dore was one of the leading
practitioner and had six murder cases
on mis- hands at the time. Dore Is desi-
rous OF having the matter settled at once.
During his absence from this city he has
paid over $1,000 in restitution. The case
will probably be settled.
