The observing poultry raiser will observe that
the long bodied breeds are the reproducing
breeds as a rule. Take, for instance, the Leghorn
fowl and the Buff Cochin. Anyone who has any
experience with the two breeds will concede the
former to possess double the laying capacity of
the latter, at least that has been my experience
IN handling the two breeds. My Cochins were
three-fourths pure-bred and their beauty of form
and feathers was their only recommendation, ex-
cept as served as a roast; in that capacity they
were above censure. Broodiness, aggressiveness
and stupidity were marked characteristics of the
Cochlns of my stock.-Mrs. A. c.. Mcpherson.

Growing Tulip Bulbs Probably in Eastern Carolina.

SHSN >F
Editors Progressive Farmer:
The following may not be uninteresting to
your readers in the Eastern section of the State.
Last fall the United States Department sent me
for trial here a lot of tulip bulbs of the early va
~rieties, such as are used in immense quantities by
the florists for winter forcing and then thrown
away. The bulbs sent were grown in the State of
Washington, and they were anxious to know what
the difference in climate would show.
The result has been very fattering to US here.
[ have lifted the crop and find that the large
bulbs are fully as fine as those from Washington,
and the increase in offsets is little short of mar
velous. In fact, from one hundred and fifty
bulbs sent, [ now have six hundred and fifty of
all sizes. Some of my own production were plant
ed alongside the Washington bulbs and their in
crease is fully as great. Now what does this
mean to those who are engaged In the growing
of bulbs in Eastern North Carolina? These early
tulips command at least as much at wholesale
an acre. They can be planted in the fall when
the tube-roses are lifted and in the spring the
tube-roses can be set between the rows if the
tulips are not ripe in time to be lifted and the
tulips lifted later, and thus with very liberal
manuring of course) the land can be doubled in
production. / believe that tulips can be proftably
added to the commercial production of bulbs in
this State, and wish to thus call attention to them.

put my corn In it, cutting one-half to one inch
long. I would also have an acre or so of thickly
planted corn to feed dry and long-then, if I
could raise and cure pea hay sufficient to feed
each animal ten pounds daily, it would not both
er me if oil mills sold hulls at $50 and meal at
800 per ton, and the price of hay would only
concern me when I had it to sell.
The cowpea is at home with us; we can grow as
much per acre as can be grown anywhere, and
we all know if we have plenty of this protein feed
we do not care if corn is 81 per bushel; we do
not need corn with pea hay. Every man here
knows how to get pea hay, so / will not advise.
Sofa beans, millet, sorghum, and other summer
crops yield immense crops. All are good forage
plants and are easy to cure.
Even the press of work on a cotton farm should
not prevent the production of ample forage for
all stock and plenty to sell also.
The cotton farmer can make his forage crops
grow through the winter months, the seeding
and cultivating will not interfere with the sum-
mer attention to cotton or tobacco. He may SOW
winter oats in August, and make hay of the crop
when in the dough" state. This, with me, is a
very important forage crop; the time and labor
devoted to winter oats pays a big per cent.
Crimson clover sown alone, or with rye, wheat
or oats, will produce one to two tons of hay per
acre. As a,hay crop, I like crimson and wheat
best, sowing in September, or not after the 18th
of October. This combination can be cured into
a soft, green hay which is liked by all stock.
Wheat and oats sown together is another com
bination for hay; the yield on fairly good land is
immense.
Rye hay is not as good as above crops, but as
it is a sure crop, I always sow a rye and make into
hay.
What can be raised on fifty acres? This de-
ponds upon the man and the land. IF the right
man and twenty-five COWS are on the fifty acres,
the crops will be enormous and the money returns
big. The right man will raise on:
Six acres, corn for e~nsilage, at least ninety
tons.
Eight acres (corn to mature) corn, four hun
dred bushels.
Ten acres, winter oats to thrash, four hundred
bushels; stover, ten tons; straw, seven tons.
Six acres, oats for hay, fifteen tons.
Three acres, rye for spring feeding to May Is.
Four acres, wheat,for spring feeding to June Is.
Two acres, millet (green) for feeding to July 10.
One acre, turnips, eight hundred bushels.
Ten acres, the winter oat lot sown to cowpea
will give of hay twelve tons.
Three acres of rye land planted to sorghum
will give green feed to November l..
Six acres of oat hay land planted closely in
corn will make fifteen tons of slower.
So the fifty acres will yield in tons one hundred
and seventy, in bushels one thousand six hundred,
in summer green feed eight months, and yet have
ten acres left for a permanent pasture. The
products of the fifty acres if fed to twenty-five
COWS will produce a huge pile of manure to be
returned to the land, and year after year cows
may be added until this land will support one COW
to each acre.

Expense.
Wages to two good helpers. ....... $4,000
Five tons wheat bran. ......... 10000
Five tons cottonseed meal. -. ......... 10000
Total 10000
If the farmers family can do all the work, as
is often the case, $500 may be added thus
$4,000
Which is a pretty fair sum of money, but this
will be larger each year as the land becomes more
productive and a larger herd is kept.
IL products of the COWS is sold as fresh milk,
the income would be:
Receipts.-Twenty-fve COWS yield $500 quarts
of milk at 2A cents, $1,875.
Expense.-Same as producing butter, 1910.
Grain, $1,5O5.
The cost of care for thirty to thirty-fve cows
is but little more than twenty-five; so if the
herd has thirty-fve COWS the gain would be near
$4,000 per year.
Think over these statements and fgure-doing
so may change the plans of some man and be
the means of charging his income and enabling
him to give his family more comfort and enjoy
ment than they supposed was their lot In life.

FARMER ACCUSED OF KILLING
HIRED MAN.

Body Of Murdered Man Was Found
Buried In Manger Of .Employer's
earn-coroner's Jury Renders vsr-
dict.
The body of Leonard Shannon,
which was found buried there feet
deep under the manger of a barn on
the AL Posey farm twenty-five miles
northeast of Devils Lake, was brought
to that city by the authorities. and
the coroner's jury brought in a ver-
dict that Leonard Shannon's death
was caused by AL Posey; that blunt
instrument was used on the victims
skull as 1t was badly fractured.
A search is being made for Posey all
over the Northwest, and it is believed
ae is in Canada.
When Shannon was missing on the
morning of Nov. % last, several per.
sons claimed to have seen him with
Posey the day and night before, both
men being intoxicated.
Sheriff Rutten, with q large num-
ber of persons searched the granaries,
haystacks, sloughs and bins of grain
for the body, and sent bloody quilts
claimed to have been wrapped around
Shannons body, to the state agricul-
tural college, but received q report
that the blood thereon was not human.
The search on the premises was con-
tinued five days.
Posey told story corroborated by
several responsible persons. and 1t is
said that Posey was taken in charge
by the sheriff. but was allowed to 20
as no evidence strong enough to hold
him developed.
1t is believed now that Shannon and
Posey became intimate and the former
learned of some of Posey's other
crimes and threatened to expose
Posey and that Posey to protect him
self committed the crime. 1t is also
claimed that Shannon was intimate
with Posey's wife.
Mrs. Posey has since instituted pro.
ceedings of divorce against her hus.
band.
Shannon was thirty years of age and
came from Montreal, Canada. Posey
was thirty-seven years of age.

REHEARiNG OF BEER CASE DE

Supreme Court Turns Down Request

Famine HCooV Hoco

Supreme Court Turns Down Request
of States Attorney Register in the
Famous $500" Case.
The supreme court has denied the
petition of states attorney register for
a rehearing in the case Of the state VS..
Patterson and McGahey. This is the
case popularity known as the 800"
case, in which 1873 cases of beer were
seized at the 500 depot under search
warrant that the supreme court held
to the illegal. States attorney regis
ter filed petition for a rehearing and
requested that the court pass upon
the disposition Of the beer, and de-
eide whether or not beer seized under
an illegal search warrant could be
held as evidence in the trial of the
case. The supreme court declines to
pass upon this matter and files the
following memorandum in the case:
State, ex REL, VS.. Patterson and Nc
Gahey-On rehearing. The petition
Of the states attorney of Burleigh
county for rehearing in this case is
denied. No point in the opinion is
criticised, but he insists that some or
der should be made as to the DISPOSE
tion Of the property seized under the
search warrant. This matter is not
before us. The motion under reSfew
was to set aside the search warrant
and all proceedings under it. 1t did
not ask that the property be returned.
The warrant under which the sheriff
made search and seized was void. It
afforded him no protection. His acts
were as If done without any warrant
whatever. 1t cannot be looked to In
any sense as Jurisdiction for an un-
lawful seizure or Withholding of prop
erty. That he dispossessed another of
his property un!awfully, is patent, but
the question whether the beer can he
held as evidence against the appellant
in the main action, notwithstanding
the unlawful means by which the law
officer secured its possession is not
Tor us to determine upon this record.
