VALUABLE LESSONS DRAWN By A TAR
HEEL FARMER.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
We have read Prof. SOule's letter
in The Progressive Farmer and are
pleased to make the following notes
with no captiOus spirit and with all
due respect to the Professor and to
Editor Poe. We submit that the
situation in Tennessee is somewhat
mixed when the Professor has to in
clude the following within the con
fines of a One-cOlumn letter Dairy
COWS are shipped from this State by
the a load to supply the depleted
markets of other States. + +
When we consider that these COWS
are sent from Tennessee to adjOin-
ing States, that the dairymen there
can pay the freight on them, allow
the dealer a reasonable profit, make
butter and cheese from them, and
send the product back into Tennes-
see, the folly of this practice will be
appreciated. r r In one partic-
ular we are seriously handicapped,
and that is the need of improved
stock. Most of US are aware of this
condition.
We only have to take up a breed
ers' tabulated pedigree of a Tonnes
see Jersey to find world heaters in sew
eraI respects. OF course "a good COW in
order to make a large yield, must eat
d large ration. Once when we were
young in making balanced ratiOns'
we proposed one for a fine COW be
longing to our uncle. He objected
that if we tried to feed 50 much the
COW could not eat it, or if she did at
first would soon be "Off" her feed
and it would not be so we'll as to con
tinue of d less scientific basis.
The average North Carolina COW,
which is, Of course, the COW of the
average North Carolina farmer, will
fail on the Professors ration. She
will get on we'll with the silage, and
it may be increased to 40 or %
pounds this will not greatly increase
the bulk then the corn meal may be
turned into one of cotton seed meal
and two of bran so the ration will
contain : of bran and 3 of cotton seed
meal, or better 3 and 6, or n to two
and from 8 to y pounds, according
to individuality, while the silage
runs from 80 to 60, according to the
same element. Then the cow pea
hay ad libitum will fall so far short
of 10 as to possibly reach 3 pounds.
In North Carolina corn meal and
oats for beeves would hOpelcssIy
swamp the feeder. The price of beef
is SO low in North Carolina markets
any breeder and feeder of good beevcs
must look outside of the State for a
market. Everything which can be
raised on the farm should be raised
to feed, but it often happens that
the towns pay more for hay of al
kinds than can be realized for it if
fed out.

One Of the best paying short cuts
that I have ever adopted is my be-
ing converted from the mOOnshine
theory of planting crops. [ always
used to plant my crops only in GER
tain phases of the moon, says a writer
in Practical Farmer. Sometimes the
moon was just right but the condi-
ton of the soil was not. Now L
plant just when I think the soil is in
the right condition, not paying any
attention to the moons condition,
and | never had better crops. The
only time that I have paid any at
tention to the moons condition Of
late years has been when [ wanted
to finish a piece of work on a certain
day, then if the moon is full | can
get up a little earlier in the morning
and work by it's light. I think that
any intelligent man who is an advO-
cate of the moon theory, who wants
to find a fact to support his theory
will be disappointed. An era Of
prosperity has come to me since I
gave up the mOOnshine theory Of
farming and commenced to farm ac-
cOrding to up-to-date methods of
farming.

A man can fish among the profess
sions. all he chooses, but when he
sets his hook for an independent,
free, enjoyable and helpful life he is
bound to catch farming. 1t is the
hest and nobIest life of all vocations
and is at the bottom Of all others

He runs a dairy with most profit
who gives most attention to making
the farm produce large crops of
grain and grass to be fed to the
COWS; there is not much profit when
feed is bought outside. The business
OF the dairyman does not begin and
end with care of the COWS, but
reaches into every detail Of farm
management.

Oats make one of the best feeds
we have on our farm we could not
successfully farm without them. 1
have grown them for thirty years
and for stock they are a necessity.
My advice to farmers everywhere IS
to grow more Oats.-Judge James A.
Teel, Nashville, Ill.

There are no coarse products or
grains which can compete with cot
ton seed bulls and meal in cheapness.
Early in the organization of the
North Carolina Experiment Station
under the Hatch Act, a study was
made of horse and mule feeding, re
sulting in a press bulletin. We do
not know that its usefulness is yet
out of date. In it was pointed out
that certain lines of feeding could be
both economical and effective. Yet
a colleague continued to feed oats
and baled hay, the most expensive
foods then on the market. Probably
he was too busy writing to read the
suuib from the other division. The
suggestion may not be amiss here.

Save the best sOws out of the best
filters for breeding animals. 1t is
true that they will bring more
none than the inferior pigs when
the surplus is fed and sold, but it
will pay much better to bring the
herd up to a higher standard than
to permit it to degenerate. In max
ing this selection of the brood SOW
for the future the dams qualities
should be considered as we'll as those
of the pig. Select from the dam
that is prolific and that brings a uni
form litter, suckles it we'll and IS
kind to it. The SOW from such a
dam is worth very much nor than
one from a dam that is in any of
these qualities deficient. And raise
this SOW pig in such a way as to de
velOp all the valuable material char
acteristics. 1t should not have feed
that is merely fattening, but such as
will promote growth of frame and
develop vigorous constitution, and
make it a liberal milk producer

The Dairy.
PROFITABLE USES OF SKIM MILK.

Correspondence of n Progressive Farmer.
When city milk dealers are paying
such starvation rates for milk and
selling it to customers at prices two
or three times as much as they have
to pay the producers for it, the farm
ers can put the products of their
dairy to some better uses than en-
riching the city milkman. There
will be no remedy for present low
prices for milk until producers find
new avenues for their milk, and thus
reduce the supply so that the city
dealers will find it difficult to get all
they need. 1t is all right for those
owning dairy farms near the mar
kets to talk of working up private
customers and of establishing milk
routes for themselves. The farmer
and dairyman who lives far away
from the city must forever be at the
mercy of the distributing agents in
the city unless he "a control the
use of his product so that the sellers
and retailers of it must solicit his
patronage.
There are many ways to use milk
with more profit than selling it at
two and three cents a quart. There
is a nutritive value in skim milk for
feeding that should at once appeal to
every dairyman. We first have the
chance to skim off the cream and
convert it into butter. That is worth
something, and it will bring fair
prices in any market. Let that,
however, be the by-product, not the
main object of the work. Feeding
the skim milk to convert it into
money is what we are aiming at.
Suppose now we raise a drove Of
hogs sufficient to consume all the
skim milk produced on the dairy,
and then add a few colonies of chick
ems. Here we have two distinct
sources of consumption. The pigs
will thrive and fatten on skim milk
when fed drOperly with other food
in u way hat will pay for all the
trouble and expense of breeding
them. This sort of breeding does
not contemplate swill, and sOur at
that. No hogs will do their best on
sour Swill, and no one should expect
it of them in these enlighted days.
But if you want to make good sweet
pork, pork that Is not ali fat, but
solid and firm With lines of lean
streaked in it, raise your drove Of
hogs on clover, and feed them sweet
skim milk and some corn meal. Let
the milk be fed rs d liquid and also
mixed up with the corn. The clover
viii supply them with n class of
food material, and the milk and corn
will ad fat and weight 50 fast that
the pigs will pay we'll on the invest
ment. Skim milk fed to pigs in CON
nectiOn with other feeds can be made
return a profit of 30 to 40c. per 100
pounds. That is far better than
shipping the whole milk to Il gIutted
market. In connection with the
butter profits, the dairy should thus
be made more profitable than when
run largely for the benefit Of the
city milk dealers.

The indications Ire that cattle will
be quite as high in price for the next
three or four years as they are now ;
there are not nearly as many cattle
in the country today as some seem
to think and there can be but little
doubt that the market will be at
~tractive for several years.-Prof. w,
j. Kennedy, Champaign, III.

There Is IA bill before Congress pro
posing to levy u discriminating tax
on oleomargarine. This policy is
wrong. We are unalterably opposed
to frauds and limitations, especially
in food products, and opposed to
oleomargarine on general principles,
but properly made it i Il legitimate
article of commerce, and if people
want to eat it they should be allowed
that privilege without having to pay
in addition to normal cost Il tax OF S
or 10 cents per pound. As oIeomar-
garinc the stuff has moral standing 4;
as an imitation Of butter it is fraud.
The law should require that it be
made, sold and served for what it is.
and prohibit any coloring. packing
or naming in imitation Of butter.
Let those who want cleo have it..
and protect those who DO not wantit
from imposition.-Farm and Ranch.

THE CUBAN ELECTIONS.
Ths Entire Ticket Of the NAtionalists
Elsstsd IN Havaaa--Psrfsot ordsR
at the Peils.


Havana, June 1s.--0en. Alexandra
Rodriguez, nationalist, has been elect
ed mayor Of Havana, polling l3,OTS
votes, against 6,O34 cast for Senior Es-
trada Mora, independent. The total
vote fell about 4,5O0 below the regis
;ration.. The national party elected
its entire ticket, 1S councilmen, the
treasurer, one correctional judge and
three municipal judges. The other
correctional judgeship fell to an in
dependent candidate as did also the
fourth municipal judgeship. OF the
six other councilmen four are repub-
licans and two nationslists, who ran
Independently.
Reports from every part of the Is
land go to show that perfect order
prevailed at the polls. To an Ameri-
can observer of the election here II
seemed as II the people rgarded the
whole matter with absolute indiffer-
ence. There was not even crowd In
waiting to hear the result declared.
Not cheer was raised, nor were
there any Of the ordinary indications
OF election excitement.

URGED DISARMAMENT.
Lord Roberts Proposition TO BothA Was
Not Accepted, However. aud War
IL stil On.

London, June l9.-Lord Roberts,
according to Boer dispatch from
Machadodorp, sent a message to Com
mandant Louis Botha on June l3,
suggesting disarmament and compli-
menting the bravery Of the burghers.
1t was pointed out that the surrender
would be without dishonor to the
burghers and would prevent much
suffering. Gen. Botha asked for
six days armistice In order to confer
and consider. Lord Roberts con-
sented to FIVE days. Finally Gen.
Botha declined to accept the proposal
and hostilities were renewed.
The Boer commanders are retiring
on Middleburg. followed by the Brit
ish cavalry and artillery, occasionally
shells reaching the rear guards. The
Beers are destroying the bridges and
burning the veldt behind them, car
rying off provisions and cattle and
leaving the country barren.

TICKETS FOR CONVENTION.
Kansas City VIII Rsesive Only 500 -GsnsF-
Gus Numbsr of seats WIN Re Set
Apart for Country EditOrA

Kansas City, Mo-, June ls.-The
democratic national subcommittee
decided that Kansas City should re-
ceive only 800 admission tickets to
the national convention. This Is a
great disappointment. In Philadel-
phia the local committee was given
$500 tickets. As Kansas City con-
tributed about 100000 to get the con
vention it was thought the national
committee would be more liberal in
providing the city tickets.
There is to be a generous number
Of seats set apart for the country and
visiting newspaper men who are not
included in the $50 seats for the
working newspaper men. 1t was the
unanimous opinion of the sub-commit-
tee that the country editors must be
cared for and that the committee
would be under obligations to see
that visitors from distant states be
given seats in the hall. They figured
that no less than 1900 and possibly
1000 seats would be needed at every
session for the country newspaper
men and they will be held for them.
None Of the tickets will be given out
before July 8.

aAs COST FIFTEEN LIVES.
In Addition aIAny Persons Were Wounded
During the Street Car strike In st.
Louis-Enormous Money Cost.


st. Louis, June l9.-The street car
strike has practically ended with sig
nal defeat for the strikers. IL began
on May at midnight, and has cost Is
lives during the extraordinary Ho-
lence that marked its various stages,
In addition rs persons have been shot
and 1oS otherwise injured. Thirteen
women passengers were beaten, three
stripped of clothes ON the street and
81 cars wrecked. The city has lost in
trade about $3l, 100000, employees have
lost in wages $2sO,OO0, the Transit
company has lost 100000 and the tax
payers will have 100000 to pay for
extra guards to protect the street car
company's property.
viii Try the boycott
st. Louis, June 1s.-The long drawn
out controversy between the st. Louis
Transit company and its striking en-
ployes has now simmered down into
q struggle between capital and labor
along the lines of boycott. The
submitting of the question of the re-
instatement of the former employees
Of the company to arbitration has
been the bone OF contention in the
recent negotiations for settlement
Of the strike, but like all former con-
tentions II has resulted in nothing,
the railway officials demanding an un-
conditional surrender ON the part of
the men.

SAYS HE KILLED GoEBEL.
Remarkable Letter written BY 30 Unknown
Person from Fort worth, Tex, to
william Il. Culten.

Frankfort, Ky, June 19.-William
Culton, who is in Jail under indict-
ment as an accessory to the murder
Of William Goebel, has received an
anonymous letter postmarked Fort
Worth, Tex, in which the writer
says: 81 am sorry you are in trouble.
I killed Goebel. He knew / would do
it. Ten minutes after the shooting
watched the crowd in the state
house yard from the Fort Hill. 1
went to Georgetown and took the
train, landing at Cincinnati the next
day. At Kansas City 1 got scared
and went to Oklahoma before coming
here. / am on a ranch out here and

has turned the letter over to his
counsel.
