Beef Raising in Eastern North Carolina,

Passing recently over the railroad
from Norfolk to Elizabeth City, N.
O., and noticing the wide prairie
like stretches of soil of inky black
ness, covered with dead corn-stalks
as far as the eye could reach through
Norfolk County, Va, and Currituck
and Pasquotank, n. c., we could but
think of what the late Edmund Ruff
fin wrote over fifty years ago: east
ern North Carolina is destined to be
the great stock country of the Allan
tic coast on account of the wonder
full profusion of native grasses" And
from that day down in Southern Vir-
ginia and Eastern North Carolina
they have been trying to kill the
grass to grow cotton and corn, while
the grass would have made them
richer. That immense body of fertile
reclaimed land between the Dismal
SWAMP and the sea makes the travel
er imagine that he is on the black
prairie soil of Illinois. But it IS
right where cattle can be shinned
abroad without crossing the country
by rail and yet nearly all the land is
in corn year after year, and nothing
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-05-02

but the corn saved, the stalks being
left to whip away in the wind, and
not even pastured by stock as they
are in Illinois. And right by the
doors of the farmers there the cattle
of the West are coming for ship
ment, while they have food enough
left in the field to feed all the cattle
that the cities about Hampton Roads
could consume, and a soil that will
grow feed for countless herds that
would have the advantage over the
West in mild climate, and no rail
road charges across the country to
pay before putting them on the ship.
Some day the cattle men will find
out this land which as yet seems al
most a terra incognita. About Eliza
beth City there are some farmers Who
are growing grass, and their success
shows that the country will grow
more grass per acre than anywhere
in the Northwest, by reason of the
rainfall and the long season.-Phila-
delphia Practical Farmer.

In 1894 the Scotch farmers cooked
their heads incredulously at the re-
port that a man at Marlborough
Town had invented a marvellous ma
chine with which as much grain could
be cut in a day as seven men could
reap with sickles. Was Mccormick
inventing as early as 1894? No, this
wonderful machine was only cradle.
Mccormick constructed his first
practical reaper in 1881. In 1841
the output of reapers in the United
States was one hundred and fifty.
Now the American reaper can be
seen in all the grain fields of the
world.

DAIRYING BY PROXY.
A Successful Example in Charlotte
Man.

Ucssrs. Editors A number of
friends and acquaintances in our
State have attempted dairying de-
pending on some one wage help TAX
;nc the lead and management in the
work throughout. l know of but one
such venture that is a success. My
friend, Geo. M. Phifer, of Charlotte,
has kept his dairy going for ten
wears on the proxy plan.
Mr.. Phifer lives in the city; his
farm and dairy are one and one-half
miles out, being so situated he can
not get to the cow-barn at 4 a. m,
rs is the custom of COW men usually.
Besides this, George is a bachelor,
and could not personally operate a
dairy-nO unmarried man can. A
good wife is necessary, if for no
other help than to kick the old man
out of bed at a. m.
Mr.. Phifer has herd of Guernsey
cattle with which he is much pleased; ;
there are some extra good cows In the
herd. and from these he raises every
heifer calf for future use in the
dairy. These heifers are reared on
another farm. The city is growing
right around the farm where he first
began. and, in fact, a part of the
farm is already built up with resi-
dences. and in four or five years the
dairy must be moved away.
Mr.. j. W. Wash is the manager.
One may visit this dairy, see Mr..
Wash and his industrious wife carry
ing on the work, and conclude that
it was their property. They are
workers, and they feel an interest
in the success. They give constant
attention to everything, and take
delight in keeping the premises neat
and clean. When these two worthy
folks leave Mr.. Phifer he must marry
a wife or sell off the dairy.
The April meeting of the Dairy
mems Association was at Mr.. Phif-
er's city home. After the business
meeting, the members met the ladies
of Mr.. Phifer's home, pleasant talk
for half an hour Or so, and then
music--not this latter-day bing-
ban-can't-understand, but the good
old melodeous, sweet music, so much
used when music was music.
Mr.. Phifer is interested in the
honey bee. He has an extensive
apiary. from which he derives much
pleasure and no small cash income.
He talks very interestingly on bee
culture, and evidently understands
how to keep on good terms with the
little fellows.
Your readers will not get report
of the May meeting of the Dairy
mems Association. 1t is to meet at
Double Oaks. Therefore / shall skip,
and instead will give some notes on
what a Northern man has accom-
pllshed in butter dairying in Neck

ouiiicIenC TO meet the demand.
What a Carpon is.
A capon is an un-sexed male bird
of any breed, but as size is to be
largely considered in this branch of
poultry culture, Cochins, Brahmas
and Barred Rocks are principally
used. Any breed, of course, may be
| used, but as they are always sold by
| the pound, large size is desirable.
The price seldom varies, being about
20 cents per pound, year in and year
out. Caponizing improves the flavor
| of the carcass and the meet is finer
grained and JUICY. The operation
also increases the size about one
third, and makes the bird very tame
They seem to delight in the company
of young chicks, and are often used
on large plants to mother a brood
of young biddies. They never crow,
and shun the society of "their sis
tiers, cousins and aunts."
Not a Difficult or Expensive Operation.
The operation can be performed
by an expert in less than two min
utes, and any one with good eye
sight and nerve can soon learn. In
France where most all male birds in
tended for table use are caponized,
the operation is performed by young
boys. Of course. the operation is
painful while it lasts, bit it doesn't
last long. Having a tooth pulled
hurts, so does dehorning cattle, but
it is done every day; and why ex-
oil
erel which when grown would only
bring fifty cents .on the market,
while if you caponize this bird and
feed him right, he should bring from
$500 to $3.50. The average weight
of a capon from the larger breeds is
10 pounds.
From two to three months old is
the proper age to operate. The
birds should be without food for
twelve hours before. the feed after
the operation should be soft mash
for first few days; after that for
about six weeks, they will tax the
corn crib. They will sit around in
the shade and eat like horses. This
ravenous appetite will gradually
wear off and they will eat no more
than an ordinary chicken, until fat
tening time.
Breeds to Select and How to Market.
Capons should not be put on the
market under eleven or twelve
months old, the season opens and
best prices are obtained Just after
the Christmas holidays, or as our
counsins across the duck pond would
say, during the London season."
The French and English are great
on capons; the French are especially
fond of their little dummies" The
Houdan in the great chicken for all
purposes with the French. 1t is a
white-meated, fve-toed bird, and
very good eating even in its natural
state. The Dorking is the English
favorite breed; while this country
prefers a yellow skinned chicken;
"there is no accounting for taste"
Capons should be marketed with
head on, and leaving feathers on
neck wings and tail. They are killed
by inserting the sharp blade of
knife up through the roof of mouth
to the brain, painless, and much
quicker than wringing the neck or
chopping off the head. They should
not be drawn. The Napoleons of
finance and other pampered sons and
daughters of fortune are the princi-
