FARM NOTES FROM ALAMANCE.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
Fine rains have recently fallen in
Alamance, Orange and Caswen. The
outcome in crops of all kinds has
been very great. have seldom seen
corn appear better at this season of
the year. Crops, Notwithstanding
scarcity of labor, have been well
worked.
Wheat harvest is over, and the crop
is much better than was expected.
Winter oats were nearly all frozen
out and little spring oats sown. It
headed well. 81
The apple crop is more abundant
than for many years. There are but
few peaches.
Farmers finished planting tobacco
last week. Tobacco will mature, if the
season is good, within ninety to
one hundred days. Much of it will
be endangered by early frosts. The
first crop of worms was numerous,
and it will be difficult to keep the sec
ond crop from injuring the late plant
ed tobacco.
The first crop of clover and grass
was light. Unless fodder corn is
planted, forage will be very scarce
next winter.
Acorns are abundant, but hogs to
eat them are not numerous.

PREVENTING ANIMAL DISEASES.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
Summer and winter diseases of ami
mails as well as of human beings can
be prevented in many cases by little
intelligent application of sanitary and
hygienic knowledge. Swine cholera is
a disease of filth and improper feed
ing. Give the hogs all the blood
heating foods they can devour in hot
weather, and sooner or later they may
come down with the cholera. Like
wise feed the COWS with a heavy grain
diet and deny them the sweet, succu-
lent grass and roots of summer, and
they will have hot feverish blood which
may show itself in milk fever or any
other trouble. Keep the sheep in hot,
sitting, ill-vented, foul-smelling sheds
these hot summer nights, and we can
not expect them to escape skin di-
sease which may spread from one to
another and ruin half the value of the
flock. If the poultry is kept in similar
unsanitary quarters summer or winter,
they will be infested by lice, ticks, and
other diseases, which will keep down
their weight and prevent good egg
laying.
A large proportion of animal di-
seases come just from such simple
causes. A little neglect and careless
ness in hot weather may start the
whole trouble The diseases can be
prevented largely by keeping the ami
mails in clean, cool places day and
night throughout the summer, feeding
them with cooling and nourishing
foods, watering them with clean,
fresh water regularly, cleaning their
skin and hair if necessary very often
if filth and dirt accumulate there,
and above all by catering to their com
fort so far as possible every day. If
in spite of all these precautions dis
eases do appear in the flock it is bet
ter to make a change Immediately.
Single out the two or three that show
the first signs of any distemper, and
put them off by themselves. Change
the quarters of the rest of the flock,
and watch carefully for any signs of
disease among them. The animals
that show the first symptoms can
then be treated separately according
to some home method, or by one who
has made a speciality of such matters.
Very often a dose of some simple
medicine to clean the blood and slim
ulate the digestive organs will put the
animals back into their normal con-
dition. The symptoms and course of
such complaints should be watched
closely. Contagion in this way may
be checked at the outset. It is not
safe to leave with the flock any animal
that shows signs of weakness, dump
ishness or sickness. Separate the ami
NAL Immediately, even though it prove
nothing but common stomach trouble
or slight fever. It is always best to
keep on the safe side.

IMPORTANCE OF THE WAR AGAINST
CATTLE TICKS.

The last number of the Burke
County News contains an article by
DR.. TAFT Butler, from which we quote
the following extract, which we com
mend to all our readers in the western
counties.
"With a view to placing before your
readers the objects and ultimate bene=
fits to result from the efforts of the
North Carolina Department of Agri-
culture to clear Burke County Of cat
tie (distemper) ticks, I beg a little
space in your next issue. In the first
place it may be put down as certain
that, no matter what we may think
about it. so long as ticks remain on
even a half dozen farms the Federal
authorities are going to maintain
these annoying and expensive restric-
tions on the cattle traffic of Burke
County. These quarantine .restric-
tions are not only a perpetual source
of annoyance, but as stated, mean
much in dollars and cents to every
man who has a single animal for sale.
If the cattle of Burke County could
now be sold west of the Bluee Ridge,
their natural market place, their value
would be increased not less than one
cent per pound. The same sort of re-
strictions were placed upon part of

STOP RAISING PLUG HORSES.

The horse raising industry in the
United States has in the past ten or
twelve years undergone a decline, so
severe that it made a great many
people, both in and out of the busi-
ness, believe that horse raising could
never again be made profitable. The
change of stret car locomotion from
horse power. to electric power was
probably the greatCs st blow to the sale
of horses; and this followed by the
very general adoption of the bicycle
as a means of rapid getting about for
both pleasure and business, made it
seem that horses were going out of
fashion. for everything except for
farm use.-
But horse breeders and others are
now beginning to think differently.
The sudden development of war on
both this side and other side of the
Atlantic, suddenly reminded people
that the army use Of horses and mules
would certainly for many years to
come be kept up, and then the bicycle
was found, after all, not to catch peo-
pie to any great extent who we're in
the habit of using horses. So the
horse as a means of pleasure in riding
and driving has fully recovered his
lost ground.
But a lesson has been learned that
may well be remembered. That is,
that the "plug" is doomed. People
who use horses as a luxury of course
want the best that can be had and can
pay for them. To this demand, Of
course, none but the best style of
horses can cater. So the demand for
high class saddlers and drivers will
certainly go on as long as men and
women like to ride and drive. For
race stock there has, of course, been
no cessation in demand. When it
comes to draft animals, it is possible
that, by and by, automobiles wilI~make
some difference in the demand, but it
is not very probable.
As to the use of horses and mules
on the farm, we do not see that any
thing is likely to happen that will in
any way lessen the demand. But we
are sure that with the passing years
the demand will more and more be
made for better and heavier horses.
The necessity therefore, for raising
only the best will be greater than ever
before. AS commercial changes take
place and profits in trade grow small
Ter, the necessity of reducing expenses
grows greater, and inasmuch as the
cost of drayage is decreased with the
size of the loads that can be hauled,
merchants and manufacturers will be
obliged to have the most powerful
teams they can get. It is, therefore,
of the utmost Importance that every
farmer who undertakes to raise even
single colt, should see to it that his
mare is bred to the best stallion of his
class that he can find.
This fact has made some impress
sion already on some farmers and they
are asking the question, Is there any
law to~prevent the use of inferior
stations for BREEDING? There is no
such law, probably no such law could
be enacted that would be constitu-
tional; but one thing can be done
that will serve thepurpose, and that

MR.. ALEXANDER ASKS A QUESTION.
g Why is Chess Always Found in Fall or
Winter Sown Oats, and Never in Spring
sown Oats 2"
Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.

Cor. of The Progressive Farmer.
I see in your valuable paper of June
18th an article taken from the Stanly
Enterprise, which says that Stanly
County is infested with some farmers
who still believe that oats will bring
forth chess.
want to say to the eminent agri-
culturists that Mecklenburg County
has men by the hundreds of the same
faith, and we are likely to die in our
sins unless we shall have a better and
more satisfactory explanation sthan
the mere fact that like begets like
Now those of us who hold the plow
know that plant life will degenerate
We have this law set forth in the days
of the Apostles when they suggested
the idea of pulling the tares from the
wheat or grain that was sown. That
answered to our chess. It seemed to
come in as mysteriously as our chess
at the present day. Some thought it
the work of an enemy, but that was
not satisfactory.
Now if the eminent agriculturist
will explain to my satisfaction why it
is that chess is always found in fall
or winter sown oats, and never in
spring sown oats, [ will then reverent-
ly take off my hat and give him audi
ence. I have been a farmer for sixty
years of my life, and have been close
observer of plant life all the while.
I can tell all the different grains by
the blade as soon as it is up and be-
gins to bunch / have known practi-
cal farmers that could not tell wheat
from oats nor oats from barley by
the blade. I have had fields of oats
that were as perfect oat-blade in the
fall and winter as ever grew, and yet
in February or March there would
come a severe cold spell and kill the
oats down until they we're brown, and
you could set fire to some of the fields.
After this the whole thing would be
changed. These are the fields where
you will find the chess.
You can tell every bunch of grain
that will produce chess and every
bunch that will make oats before it
heads, if you are a close observer; and
/ if not, don't put yourself down as an
agriculturist. Since the eminent agri-
culturists have thrown down the
gauntlet, and we want them to show
up or shut up. What we want is a
thorough explanation, and also the
why's and the wherefores.
