Why can not North Carolina raise
her own live stock9 The North has no
natural advantages over the South In
this respect, and our failure to raise
our own mules and horses shows an
unprogressiva nature. We must get
out of the old ruts. Twenty cent cot
ton ia not likely to come this way
again. We must make the best Of
present conditions, and make farming
a business. Farming in many places
is not so considered. When we speak
of ''going into business" agricultural
pursuits are not thought Of Ard, per
haps, this is not unnatural. In the
management Of many farms business
principles are not adopted; system is
a stranger; everyone, from superin
tendent down to hired boy, follow
blindly and foolishly in the footsteps OF
their forefathers. Unlike business men,
too, farmers do not seem to realize the
Importance of organizing for self pres
ervation. The world moves, and If
we do not move with it, WI will be left
very far in the Because ones
father or grandfather did a thing-be
fore we had railroads or telegraphs or
steamboats,, perhaps-is no reason for
our doing the same thing now We must
go forward. Raising our own supple
is simply step in this direction.
AS n Of the many things needed to
make farming q more business like oc
cupatiop, The Truckers and Planters
Journal has this to say
"Being, as we are, native from q
section of country where raising live
stock is a regular part Of the business
of every farmer, we find it difficult to
habitua6e ourselves to the practice
among the Southern farmers Of buy
ing imported horses and mules. We
cannot persuade ourselves that it is
good business. In viewing the situa
tioa we find nothing in natural condi
lions to prevent stock breeding and we
believe that q colt can be fOaled and
put on the market at less coast than in
5he north. The causes taat prevent
horse breeding are artificial and grow
out of the suicidal methods of farming
which prevail. Before the horse can
be made q regular product of the
farm cotton must be RELOCATED to a
subordinate position and In it's stead
forage and home supply crops must be
made of first Importance. We must
convert our raw material into the fin
ished product ready for the market IN
the shape Of horses, cattle, sheep and
the waste matter from the process OF
production should be returned to the
land for improvement. There should
be fields of forage crops where we now
have patches, and patches of cotton
where we now have fields. Then we
would always find a ready and profit
able market for our cotton, tobacco,
fruits and truck, while every article
for home consumption would be sup
piled from u own fields. Our farms
would become selt-sustaining and self
improving and there would be an end
to the everlasting drain on our soil
that is keeping US bankrupt. During

a Kansas man to a bicycle company:
DEAR s1Rz-I live on mi farm near Hamil-
ton, Kan, am 81 years old and just a little
sporta. My neffew in Indiana bot hisself a
new biscile and sent me his old one by frate,
and i've learned to ride sumo. Its a pile Of fun,
but my biscile jolts considerable. A Teller come
along yesterday with a biscile that had hollow
injun robber tires stuffed with wind. He let
me try hissen and mi, it run like a kushin! He
told me you sell injun robber just the same as
hissen. How much will it be to fix min up
like hissen? Mine is all iron wheels. Do you
punch the hollow hole threw the injun robber
or will l have to do it myself How do you
stick the ends together after you got it donef
If your injun robber is already holler, will it
come any cheaper empty? I can get all the
wind I want out here in Kansas free.

SAFE OPENING AN ART.
An Expert Who Met Many Obstacles and
Overcame Them.

An Expert Who Met Many Obstacles and
Overcame Them.
Opening refractory vaults, safes and
burglar proof chests is a science in itself
and is surrounded by the utmost secrecy
by those who make a living out of it.
In a talk to the Chicago Post a man who
has been in the business 40 years said:
1.-The essential qualification which a
successful safe opener must possess is all
intimate and instructive knowledge OF
the mechanism and workings of every
variety of combination lock. He must
be born to the profession and possess
acute mechanical perception.
Nearly every obstinate safe which l
am called upon to open presents unique
conditions demanding new and individ-
ual treatment. The nature of the diff
Guilty must be correctly diagnosed in ad-
vance or the lock will remain obdurate,
for machinery does not move by chance.
"The biggest bait ever held out to me
came in the form of a proposal from a
detective with whom I was we'll &C.
quainted. It had been supposed that the
locks made by a certain firm of safe
manufacturers were proof against the
manipulations of burglars and experts,
but a few days before / was approached
by the detective I had been called upon
to open one of these safes and had sue
ceeded. The incident gave rise to much
comment.
LAS I was sitting alone in my Office
the detective entered and asked me if l
did not wish to make some money. l
replied that I was in business for just
that purpose. He then questioned me
closely as to my ability to open the par
ticular kind of lock in question. When
satisfied that I was easily able to do SO,
he said:
"'I'll tell you how you can grab off
500, 900 without the least trouble. The
boys know where there is a safe of this
kind which contains $500, 900 in pa
per currency. It is easy to get at, and
all you'll have to do is to walk in, after
they have opened the way, unlock the
safe, take out 500, 900 and leave the re-
mainder for them. It's the easiest kind
Of money
SPY the boys the detective meant q
notorious gang Of burglars which had
been conducting a series Of daring oper-
atiohs. I told the detective that I had
been much given to card playing in my
youth, thus acquiring a strong prefer
ence for a lone hand, and that this pre-
objection had become too firmly fixed to
be changed. He took the hint and left
my Office as soon as possible"

SEWING ON MEN-OF-WAR.
How q Sailor May Add Something to His

How q Sailor May Add Something to His
Pay From Uncle Sam.
Visitors on board wal vessels in the
navy yard will very likely see among
the sailors scattered about the decks
smoking, talking and SO on a sailor at
work with a sewing machine. 1t is a
hand machine and has a pretty heavy
base. S that it can be set down on deck
and worked easily without shifting its
position.
The machine is owned by the man
working it. On a big ship like, for ex-
ample, the battleship Indiana, carrying
a crew Of 400 men or more, there would
probably be found as many as a dozen
sewing machines. On a third rate
cruiser, a smaller vessel, such, for il
lustration, as the Detroit, there would
be apt to be four or five sewing ma
chimes. The machines are oftenest
owned by sailmakers and sailmakers'
mates, but they may be owned by sail
ors. Any man on the ship might have
a sewing machine if he wanted to.
Space is valuable Oh a vessel, and SC
only hand machines are allowed, and
to bring a machine aboard permission
must be got from the commanding off.
Ger. It is not to be supposed that every
man in the ship would want a sewing
machine. As q matter of fact compare
lively few men do, and those who want
to take one aboard are not likely to find
any difficulty in the way.
