The New Agricultural Year Book.

The New Year Book of the De-
partment of Agriculture is a par
ticularly attractive number. Fiji
teen years ago the Year Book, or
it was then called, the Annual Re
port of the Department of Agricul-
ture, while containing valuable in
formation, was in appearance and
style one of the driest and most IN
interesting publications of the Gov
eminent. It's information was pre-
sented in such a manner as to be
almost useless to the farmer, in fact
it was seldom read by him. For the
last several years the Year Book has
contained a series of always timely
and useful articles, the most of
which can be read by every farmer
with decided benefit. During the
first year of Secretary Wilson's in
cumbency he called the chiefs of his
divisions together and told them that
he wanted them to prepare for the
Year Book short, non-scientifc and
easily comprehended articles, which
would make the Year Book a volume
useful in the hands of every tiller of
the soil who desired to improve his
conditions and surroundings. This
idea has prevailed, and each year
finds theAgricultural Year Book bet
ter, if possible, than the preceding
one. The present one contains a
number of very practical and inter
esting articles covering a wide va
riety of subjects descriptive of the
varied scientific work conducted by
the Department.
Progressive Farmer readers who
desire copies of this Year Book,
should apply to their members of
Congress.

Make the Apple Crop Pay.

North Cardinals Agricultural
Experiment Station, aiming to be
useful, has just published an excel
lent bulletin on GLOW to Utilize the
Apple Crop" Practical directions
are given, which the farmer will find
to the point. North Cardinals crop
of apples is estimated at 100000
bushels, but the possibilities of ex-
pansion are described as unlimited.
Not all of the product is of the kind
required for the market and much
of the apple-growing area lacks rail
road facilities. It is shown, how
ever, that if the farmers invest in
suitable evaporatOrs-which are pic
tured and priced-dried apples can
be made in every part of the State
and sold at a good profit. Hand
peeled and sun-dried apples are very
good in a way, but they do not meet
the demand of the general market.
Ample details of the process of pre-
pairing the sliced fruit and drying it
are given. 1t is shown how ma
chimes for peeling, coring and slic-
ing will facilitate the work, and the
method of bleaching is described.
Even the parings and cores sell well
if suitably dried, being used in man
ufacturing jelly and vinegar.
For jelly there is a paying demand,
and it is shown how to make it out
of pears, peaches, plums and cur
rants, as well as apples. There is a
special apparatus for producing the
best quality on a large scale. Fruit
Juices are in great demand, it is

Eight Mule Colts Bring An Irede1 Far
mer $500.

Farmers who we're in town Monday
were given an object lesson in stock
raising when they saw Mr. w. E.
Morrison, who lives three miles north
of Statesville, sell the Henkel Live
Stock Company eight fine mule colts
at an average of about $4,000 a head.
Two of the colts will be two years
old in July; two n year old in July;
the other four were n year old this
spring, making the average age about
fourteen and one-half months. Mr..
Morrison traded for two of the colts
when very young, the others were
foaled on his, farm; and he is not a
stock farmer. The eight brought him
about $500, and it doesn't take an
expert in figuring to see that there
is a good profit in selling mule colts
not over fifteen months old, at $500
and the pity of it is that so few of
our farmers ever try to raise a colt.
It should be said tina these colts are
all fine ones, and as they followed
a fine two-year gray FLY, also raised
by Mr.. Morrison, they made a pretty
picture. The Henkel Live Stock
Company took them to their grass
farm in the mountains, and two or
three years from now some farmer
in this section will pay them $400 or
$500 a pair for these mules (and they
will be worth IT'D, instead of raising
a pair at a small outlay.-StatesvilIe

Bullbats are Valuable Birds.

According to a recent act of the
Legislature, generally known as the
Audubon Bill, the song and insect
eating birds of the State, together
with their nests, are now protected
from destruction by law. One of
the most valuable birds in North
Carolina is the night hawk, usually
known as the "Bullbat." This bird
feeds exclusively upon insects, eat
ing large quantities of flies, gnats
and grass-hoppers, which are so
troublesome to man, but perhaps he
renders US no greater service than
by eating mosquitoes. Since it is
now known hal the malady known
as malaria is carried by mosquitoes,
and transmitted by their bite, there
certainly is strong reason why the
bullbat should be accorded the pro-
lection which he so readily deserves.
It has long been the custom in many
sections of North Carolina to shoot
these birds in great numbers in the
late summer afternoon. Numerous
cases have been reported to me, and
[ have seen the same with my own
eyes, where these birds were shot
down by the dozen merely for the
practice of shooting, and the sport
of seeing them fall. Some shooters
do not even go to pick them up, and
I have seen wounded bullbats lying
about on the ground late the next day
after they were shot.
The Audubon Society of North
Carolina appeals to the good people
of the State to use their influence
in every possible way in behalf of the
bullbat, and to see that the dreadful
suferings caused by the thoughtless
slaughter of these birds in the past
shall not be repeated in the State
this summer.-T. Gilbert Pearson,
Greensboro, n. @.

A Georgia correspondent of The
Progressive Farmer writes: Col.
I. @. Wade, the veteran stock breed
er has organized and is developing
a stock farm on the "Hills of Haber-
sham" where, amongst the countless
springs and brooks, where bluegrass,
bermuda, and alfalfa grow, a. well
as all kinds of the legumes,
the Colonel is satisfied IS an ideal
place for a stock farm. Almost ex-
actly on the quarantine line, yet free
of fever, stock can be shipped both
ways. But, of course, cattle will
have to be inoculated to ship South.
Herefords will be put in for the beef
cattle and Holsteins will be put in
for the daisy cattle. These will not
be at the farm until October, as the
pastures are limited just at present,
although bermuda is being rapidly
planted, and alfalfa will be sown
this fall.

Commenting on Harry Farmers
recent letter on the value of neat
packing, the editor of the Statesville
Mascot says:
"This writer knows from personal
experience that the farmers of this
county lose much money by not
marketing their butter and produce
in the best manner There are some
farmers near S~tatesville whose butter
brings good prices all the year
round, while there are others who
have great difficulty in selling but
ter at any price some times. This
is their own fault, not the merchants
and it a only be corrected by never
putting anything on the market for
sale that is not frst-class."

Kidney Worms % in Hogs.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor or Inc progressive rarm6r:
have two brood sows that became
lame or disabled in some way about
two weeks after they had dropped a
litter of pigs. They will stand with
their fore and hind feet close to-
gether, their backs being in a circular
shape; and when they walk they take
very short steps with their hind feet.
Any exertion seems to cause pain.
One of them has been down for three
weeks, not able to stand, hind legs
useless. They will eat their food as
good as they ever did. Kidney worms
is supposed to be the trouble. Please
tell me what is the trouble and give
a remedy. A. P. FALLS.

answered by DR.. TAFT Butler,
State Veterinarian, n. @. Depart
ment of Agricultural
The disease from which your cor
respondents hogs are suffering is not
uncommon by any mean, but it's true
nature and exact cause has not yet
been determined. The common belief
that the so-called kidney worms is
the cause seems erroneous. Numer-
Gus post norton examinations of
hogs that suffered from the disease
have failed to reveal these worms,
while others badly infested with
them have showed no symptoms of
any disease during life.
Experience has shown that the fol-
lowing is probably the best that can
be done in the line of prevention
and treatment, although nothing has
yet been found hal is very satisfac-
tory:
To prevent the disease see that the
hogs have plenty of exercise and re-
ceive a balanced ration. Too rich
food in confinement seems frequently
to cause the trouble, while, on the
other hand, poorly fed and badly
treated animals also sometimes suf-
fer. The following mixture should
always be kept under shelter where
the hogs may get to it at will:
Two bushels charcoal.
One bushel hardwood ashes.
Two pounds salt.
One pound copperas.
The charcoal should be chopped up
fine and the copperas powdered and
all thoroughly mixed.
When the hogs become affected
give to every hog weighing 200
pounds fifteen (15) grains of sodide
Of potassium and one-fourth 90
grain of sulphate of strychnine.
Keep the animals in a dry, clean
place where they will not be disturb
cd in any way, and feed a well bal
anccd ration having variety and in
Guiding some green food if possible.
