Milton Noan@, co'orod, met
with a most horrible death ycstcr-
dav about 2:45 O'Clock, at the
Charlotte Oil and Fertilizer
Works. Young had sacks tied
around his legs while he worked.
He was leaning over the short
belt when one of the sacks caught
in the belt, drawing him into the
machinery. He was carried
around several times on the pully,
almost before his fellow workmen
realized that the frightful accident
was taking place. The machinery
was stopped rs quickly as possible
and the unfortunate man taken
out. The spectacle wis horrible
one. 1t caused many strong
man to turn away with Il sicken-

legs were broken in several places,

BUSINESS METHODS

Farmers sometimes forfeit their in.
surance by neglect. While the mutual
companies do not, a s.we understand il
hold farmers to the strict letter of the
law, as do the stock companies, but go
more on the equities of the case in their
settlement than on strictly legal points,
nevertheless it is wise to have every.
thing straight at the start and keep il
straight. For example, many farmers
during the year make additions to the /
buildings. The company should be in
formed of this fact and additional in
surance, whether against fire, lightning
or tornado, should be taken ou !" cnver
the increased value. Many farmers
sell or trade properties during TIC year
and this vitiates their policy unless an
assignment is made, return ed to the
company, and a new policy issued.
Where farmers do not sell outright they
frequently deed portions of their prop
erty to their wives or members Of their
families, thus making change of title
and in each case the policy should state
the facts.
Another matter. In making out pol
icy always see that the property that you
wish wish te ppreI Iect is specifically mentioned
that there can be no dispute about it.
For example. we heard of case lately
that is likely to leadto litigation in q
stock company. The farmer SO insured
carried SO much insurance on grains.
A fire occurred and in addition to the
grains a lot Of clover seed was burned.
The question came up at lis clover
seed grain?It will be very difficult to
prove that it is. Therefore the policy
shouldread grain and clover seed, or any
other kind of seed.
Another matter. Always keep your
policy where you will know where to
get it should it be needed for any pur.
pose and if possible keep it in a FIRE
proofsafe. Bankers usually take care of
papers of this kind and it would be a
good thing to leaveyour policies togeth-
er with your banker, or in some othe
place where they are as safe as possible
from fire.

CoWPEAs FOR RENovATING LAND.
| have read with interest the re-
marks about the Great Unknown cow
pea, on Page 4, issue Of July 8. The
Unknown is good variety for the
long seasonsof eastern North Carolina,
but you northel readers will be greatly
disappointed with results if led to try
this variety by the statements in the
article above refer led to. Having given
particular attention to cowpeas for sew
eral years, and having grown many
varieties, know that the Unknown is
not adapted to the short seasons of the
north, and that even in the south there
are other varieties which will give bet
ter results, unless planted early and al
lowed the entire season to mature.
Even here, at Dover, Delaware, which
is considerably south of Baltimore, the
Unknown pea, planted May l, pro-
duced only an occasional ripe pod when
cut by frost early in October. Another
obj ction to the Unknown is its trail
ing habit of growth, producing vines
20 feet or more in length, which tangle
up and render the harvesting Of the
crop more diffierlt and well-nigh inn
possible.
OF all varieties which have grown,
the large Early Black is undoubtt dly
the best for this and more northern
sections, being entirely free from the
Objectionable features of the Unknown.
They We're very successfully grown
last season III several points in Michi-
g n, New York and Connecticut. If
planted the frst week in June, they
will produce ripe pods by Sept. / and
nearly the whole crop will be ripe by
Sept. 10. While the Early Black
makes an immense amount of vine, it
is of busliy, branching habit of
growth and can be readily cut with
mower, or ploWed under.
There is no question to the great
value Of the eowpea as a soil improver,
or asa forage crop, either green or dry,
for cattle, horses and hogs. They will
grow on poor soil, aud will make a
larger crop on Worn lands than any
valuable crop know of, but grow a
much better and more profitable crop
on good soil. Like other leguminous

MIDsUMMER SUGGESTIONS.

MIDSUMMER SUGGESTIONS.
July is the growing month. for all
young stock. Chicks Matched by hens
will have great advantage over brood
or stock unless the latter is given space
enough and not coddled too much by
heat. A great many mistakes are made
in brooding artifcially, and this is one
of the most serious-too much heat and
too long continued.
March and April matches should now
be fairly we'll grown, and the sooner
they are separated and given free range,
the quicker they will develop and ma
ture. They do not need any heat
whatever-simply protection at night
from rains, ,dews and cool winds. Fresh
air at night, coupled with plenty of
strong, sweet grain, will make them
grow rapidly. The best method for
separating chicks is to colonize them
in boxes placed In an orchard where
there is plenty Of run, plenty of grass
and plenty of shade. Add to this good
sound grain at night and noon, and
mash of ground oats and corn and bran,
equal parts mixed crumbly, for the
morning, and supply Of fresh water,
and you have done all that is possible
for them; nature must do the rest. Of
course their coops must be kept clean,
and the little boxes of grit placed where
they can find them. 1t will surprise
many who have tried this method to
see how fast the youngsters grow.
Soon grasshoppers will abound, and
then the fun begins and the chicks de-
light is at hand. Chickens thus given
free range can be fed a great quantity
of muscle and flesh forming foods, such
as corn, wheat and barley. They will
develop accordingly, working off in ex-
ercise the. heavy feeding.
July is also an important month for
the old stock. If your breeding season
is over, and it is with the majority,
separating your male birds and giving |
your females free range and plenty of |
exercise will put them in fine condition |
to stand an early mnult, which is SO nec-
essary in order to obtain early fall eggs.
Gentleman.

THE CURSE OF FARMING.
The first great lesson that We mast
learn to avoid waste. That has been
the curse of farming. We pay taxes
on land that We do not farm; we only
half cultivate our fields, and so waste
both land and labor; We have large
percentage Of crop in a field; We waste
time and capital raising inferior ami
mails; We waste money in buying what
we should raise ourselves; We waste
energy in trying to do more than any
one man can do right; we waste op-
portunities to improve our condition
by staying away from institutes and
by neglecting to read papers; we waste,
in thousand and one ways we waste,
and then we are ready to say that
"farming doesn't pay.n
