A big ship iscoming up to the wharf
All the people on board are crowding'
near the exits, and the people on the
shore are waving their hands and call
ing to their friends on the boat. Sud-
denly there is cry man overbOard!'
The boat is within a few feet of the
wharf, and thema has fallen between
the two. The boat hands say that
nothing can be done; the space is too
narrow.
While they all rush about help
less and distracted there is another
splash. What is this? Breathlesslv
they watch and soon two forms APP
pear; help is given and the wondering
crowd see a young lad of thirteen
years supporting in his arms the help
less form of a man. This was the fear
less little swimmer who had plunged
in where no one else had dared to go,
and had brought back the drowning
man from the very grasp of death.
Eager questions are asked about
this brave lad who has risked his life
for a drowning man, and it is soon
learned that this is the third life he has
saved, tho not yet fourteen years old
himself.
What a possession for boy of thir-
teen years to start with! Doyou sup
pose the boy who has millions of dol
lars waiting for him is one half so
rich? Don't YOU think that if one of
those boys are rich in money, could
buy that secord by parting with all
his wealth, he would become rich and
the other boy poor by the exchange?
l think so. And yet this great wealth,
more precious than all the gold in the
world, was earned ali himself by this
little thirteen year old boy.

the following paragraph from the
Springfield, Mass, Farm and Home, of
special interest to North Carolina
farmers at this time. The clipping
says:
"I5 is likely that the Connecticut
Board of Agriculture will be taken out
of the farmers hands and be composed
of politicians chosen by the legislature
or appointed by the governor. That is
practically the rule in Pennsylvania,
where the secretary Of agriculture has

political reasons. Even in New York,

Massachusetts, Maine and some other
States, where the farmers through
their various organic atoms elect the
members of the State Board Of Agri

ABOUT HOGS AND ABOUT KAFFIR
CORN.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
There are a number of improved
breeds of swine, all of which are well
suited to North Carolina wherever
they receive attention enough to call
into use the acquired habits of growth
in which the improvement consists.
1t will not profit man much to buy
the best blood of any breed and neg
lect it. Fine stock has not been i'm
proved to thrive in ''rustle" against
common stock which has survived by
it's ability to root" The improved
pig has had a generation of wellfed
ancestors which have given it ability
to use larger amount of food to bet
ter advantage than an unimproved
pig can do. We must remember this
and feed accordingly to reap an in
come from an investment in good live
stock of any kind be it pig, COW, sheep,
horse or chicken. The common i'm.
proved bree ds are Poland China, Essex,
Berkshire, jersey Red, Chester White
Auu I 4OEASu4E0s 4u0IO GSAO q 40" OVA4CASS
but these are the principal breeds
There is some prejudiee against white
swine, especially in the warmer parts
of the State, as they show chapped
skin more frequently than others.
There is less difference in growth of
pigs of any of the above breeds than
there is in a mans fancy for some par
ticular breed.
Therefore the choice of breed seems
to the writer mainly one OF fancy.
We expect to get the North Carolina
Swine Breeders Association together
again soon and in its report of pro
ceedings to have the good qualities Of
the different breeds extolled by breed
ers who can give their reasons for be-
Iieving the special breed advocated is
the best. These papers will be valuable
as they will cover about every point IN
which pig is Of value to the human
race.

As an outcome Of Secre sary Wilson'S
visit last year to Florida, where he be
came greatly interested in the tobacco
curing question, his department has
just published report on cigar leaf to
bacco, written by Dr.. Oscar Lew, a
German scientist Of the Department..
1t has been known that the fine favor
and aroma Of the Florida and Cuban
tobacco was due to some action IN cur
ing, to which more Northern tobaccos
are not subj CT, Some years ago a
scientist, Suchland, claimed to have
discovered that the changes in tobacco
which occurred during the curing pro
c. ss were due to bacteria and exten-
sive experiments were made. These
supposed bacteria were transplanted
from place to place in order that they
might spread, and even large amuun e

much as Japanese soil has been i'm
ported for the purpose of bringing
with it the bacteria who produces
the tubercies on the Soy bean and thus
makes it a nitrogen gatherer. Such
land prepared pure cultures or mi
crobes found upon different kinds of
tobacco and by transplanting those OBJ
tanned from Havana tobacco to Ger
man tobacco expected to develop the
Havana aroma in the g srman tobacco.
DR.. Loew, however, now proves that
the go called tobacco fermentation is
not caused by bacteria, but rather by
natural fern ents aud that while some
spores may of course occur upon to-
bacco leaves, as upon any substance,
they in no way affect the fermentation
of the leaves in the curing process.
Having reached this conclusion and
also observed the fact that while these
termentations take place in Florida
and Cuba curing Of tobacco, they do
not in Northern curings, DR.. L0ew
will devote himself to investigating
methods which will enable Northern
growers to secure these fermentations
and thus impart the desired aroma TO
their tobacco. The investigation may
prove Of much benefit to tobacco grow
ers.

house, and to use hackneyed expires
sion, seems to fill a long felt want.
Almost every farmer has some book
On gardening to which he may refer
from time to time, but it is usually too
much OF study to bother with. H ere,
however, is a short, concise pamphlet
or 20 peges C, ntaining the experience
Of the most pacticRl aud informed men
and treating the subject of farm gar
den IN the most simple and easy man
ner. The farm garden undoubtedly
pays better than any other land on the
farm. No figures have ever been col
leCGed to show what value it's products
are, but in the census OF 1890 che mar
ket garden statistics showed that the
average value OF garden stuff TO the
acre was $I47 II Rs against only 81 65
for wheat while the general average
for the grains and hay was shown to
be only 81 IS per acre. The homegar
den, however, is worth even more than
this as it is not subject to the heavy
losses incident TO keting perishable
crops It's products are used direct on
the table and there is therefore very
little eed for waste. Not verybody
realizes fully the value of a first class
garden. The mind reverts pleasantly
TO Irving's description of Tchabcd

stocked farm and bountiful garden.
The entire place groaned with plenty
and every available place in shed, Gel
lar, barn and house was filled with the
products Of the fiald and garden against
the needs of winter. In these days Of
big money crops the garden is very apt
TO have to take care of itself largely,
people sometimes failing to realiz9 that
in good garden is more than half the
living Of the family. The bulletin in
question is about as good short dis.
cusaion Of the garden plan with gen,

planting as can be found. Some re
