Havana is sure to be influential in

forgthe politicians there to know that
the politicians .thoroughout the Island,

The railway builders told me they
were having no trouble about their
labor, and, as far as they knew, the
change in government was not going to
have any effect. They felt sure that it
would not raise wages, and they were
just as sure that it would not cause any

will be no hindrance to peaceful deve-

RAISING CALVES.

Ny experience for some years has
been this: When a calf is two or
three days old, it should be taken away
from the COW and fed; it would be
better to take it away soone Boil
good hay in a kettle of water, say an
eight gallon kettle full of hay, with
four gallons of water boiled down
strong. Feed one quart of new milk
with four quarts of hay tea, twice a
day. Allow the calf to run on good
grass and give it plenty of fresh wa
ter. In this way you can have the
skinned soul milk, besides, cheaper.
People who have but one COW can
raise a good calf and at the same time
have the benefit of the cow. Farmers
can have three or four calves to each
COW and make quite a sum-, as calves
can be bought cheap around town and
of dairymen. W. @. HALL.

= Rockingham Anglo-Saxon. The
adoption of wide tires would go a
long way toward solving the good
roads problem. Besides, all heavy
draught vehicles are easier to pull
than the narrow tired ones, as they do
not cut into the ground so badly, thus
saving the "wear and tear" on teams.
The broad tire has a tendency to pack
the road instead of cutting it to
pieces. All things considered it looks
like common sense would dictate the
adoption of the broad tire without the
necessity of legislative action.-Hen-

of tobacco-growing, and also of agri-
cultural methods. They will be in this
country a whole year. They saw the
museum here and went out with Sec
rotary Bruner to see tobacco and 9th

SOM reenville section, the other to
the Henderson-Oxford section. They
will go to South Carolina to e tea,
upland and lowland rice, etc. The

Farm Miscellany.
DECAY OF FARM MACHINERY.

The present price of farm imple-
ments, into the construction of which
steel and iron enter to large extent,
ought to serve as a reminder to farm
ers of the fact that to leave farm ma
chinery out in the field where last
used, or provided with the protection
which a wire or rail fence is able to
afford against rain, snow and sleet is
very expensive as we'll as imprudent.
Iron and steel will endure many years
even if permitted to ust year after
year, but if taken care of and painted
occasionally the usefulness and dur
ability of the implements made of
these now high-priced metals may be
prolonged beyond estimate, says
Farmers Voice.
Farmers Justly complain when, be-
ing compelled to buy new farm tools,
they have to pay increased prices, but
the steel trust controls the prices. But
there is no excuse for buying new ma
chinery before the natural life" of
the old shall have passed; a wheat
harvester, for instance, should last for
ten years or more-and they used to
do so when they were given care and
shelter-but since the introduction of
the light, ea~sy-runninG and rapid bind
e
ers, made almost wholly of steel, farm
ers seemingly have become careless
and think them sheltered sufficiently
by the canopy of heaven. Rust begins
eating the smaller parts and in the
course of a few years the machine is
worthless. During the process of de-
cay, which subsection to the elements
invites, the farmer finds it necessary
every time he begins cutting his wheat
crop to buy repairs, pay blacksmith
bills and thus lose both time and
money, all of which perhaps rra7 be
prevented or avoided by taking good
care of the machinery.
Better treatment of what is now on
hand in the way of machinery will
postpone the necessity of purchasing
new implements.

Davidson Dispatch: From present
indications the corn crop in Davidson
County this year will surpass all pre-
vious records. Parties from all over
the county speak with enthusiasm of
the excellent stand and of the bright
outlook for a great crop. Wheat, too,
it is believed, will turn out a little bet
ter than was expected and, taking all
things into consideration, our farmer
friends are to be congratulated upon
the indications for bountiful crops
this year.

sLOP FOB PIGS.

The Indiana Station has reported
some data on a question which often
arises in pig feeding, namely, What
is the advantage of mixing the grain
feed with water and how thick or how
thin should slop be fed? Four lots of
4 pigs each were used in a test which
covered some five months. For about
three months all the pigs were fed
corn meal and shorts Ii. During the
remainder of the time hominy feed re-
placed the corn. Lot 1 was given the
ration dry; lot 2 was fed the grain
mixed with an equal weight of water,
while in the case of lot 3 it was mixed
with twice, and in the cas- of lot 4
three times its weight of water. In
addition to the dry grain or slop, the
pigs were supplied with all the drink
ing water they desired and the amount
consumed recorded. The average
daily gains of the four lots were in
every case a little over 4 pounds per
day; the grain required per pound of
gain by the four lots was $50, $50,
3.74, 3.75 pounds, respectively; while
the cost of food per pound of gain
ranged from 2.87 cents in the case of
lot 1 to 3.O4 cents in the case of lot 2.
During the test lot 1 (fed the dry
grain) drank 1915 pounds of water;
lot 3 did not receive>an the water they
desired in the slop fed and consumed
a total of 3,O31 pounds; lots 3 and 4
received all they desired in the slop,
the amounts thus taken being 4,871
and 6,928 pounds, respectively. The
figures recorded by the station show
that
Pigs weighing go pounds, fed dry
feed, consumed on an average 2.35
pounds of water daily, and that this
amount increased nearly constantly
until these same pigs weighing 218
pounds consumed 11.O7 pounds per
day. 1t is also shown that pigs fed
water in their food as a slop, when
weighing about 60 pounds, consumed
either 2.42, 425, or $40 pounds of wa
ter per day, while these same pigs
weighing 213 to 222 pounds consumed
either ST, IA, or IS pounds of water
per day. Undoubtedly much of this
water was consumed unnecessarily,
and certainly lot 4 was given much
more water with its grain than was
required.
There was no material difference in
the appearance of the pigs in either
lot, so far as quality is concerned,
and so far as this one experiment
goes, the use of about two times the
weight of water to grain indicates a
satisfactory proportion.
In view of the fact that the pigs
fed dry grain made slightly better
gains than those fed grain mixed with
water in form of slops, 1T would ap-
pear that there is really no gain in
feeding the pigs a slop instead of a
dry grain, excepting as a feeder may
regard it a matter of convenience

DEVELOPMENT NF THE MOORE COUNTY
PINEY WOODS REGION.

Once upon a time-all well-regu-
lated tales begin this way-a man
~iourneyed beyond the Sierras in a
stage. Scenes of luxurance excited
his wonder and he sought informa-
ton of the close-mouthed driver.
"Whence came those blooming roses,
those tremendous watermelons, and
those luscious grapes" And the dri-
yer simply grunted, "Climate!" And
still the tourist gazed, and still the
wonder, grew. Quothe, "Whence
came those deep-chested men, those
graceful women and those chubby
c~hiIdre1To The driver murmured
something about Climate" The
traveller glanced about him and as he
saw the mountains towering summit
he bethought himself of a railroad
scheme he'd listened to the night be-
fore. "How do they purpose getting
the new railroad over that mountain|'
The answer came VITA conviction and
frmness: "CIimb it." And there end
eth the first lesson.
Now, not so many years ago it was
discovered that this section of North
Carolina was the ideal place for all
kind of invalids. People with one
lung gone and the other impaired
waxed fat and throve amid the pines
and the sufferer from nervous troubles
regained his vigor and the elasticity
of his step. The cause of this was
climate.
But while L. L. Polk, late editor of
The Progressive Farmer, rejoiced to.
know that the barren sand hills of
Moore County we're about to be put
to some use, the> late S. T. Mofett
solemnly declared hat no well regulat-
ed crow ever flew across the county
without bringing his rations along.
At that juncture Uncle John Wilson
bought food supplies in Richmond.
He paid the freight and then sold a
peck of meal, four pounds of pork
and a quart of molasses for a weeks
r%atiOns. If felt especially Iuxu-
rious he might swap the molIasses for
a sack of salt. But even on this
meagre diet happiness dwelt within
our borders and our appetites were
whetted by hat best of sauce-cli-
mate.
But hat was years ago.. Now we
have tender asparagus in October and
from Il seed we produce 60 citrons
aggregating 500 pounds in weight.
The only way to stop the growth of
green tomatoes is to cut down the
vine. JOnah's gourd may have been
miraculous, but that famous vegeta-
bic would look like a rag weed when
compared with our we'll ornaments.
We can raise anything from a silk
umbrella to wind enough to run a
yacht ace. In fact our climate is all
that could be desired and we insist
that the-best thing in the world is u
climate.-Southern Pines Bulletin.
