fering by them; but the difficulties seem insurmountable in the way of carrying out the work.
 The school authorities refuse to have anything to do with the matter. and, lack ing their assistance. the Army finds itself at loss how to proceed. It was thought the teachers better than anybody else would be able to point out the needy ones, those too poor to help themselves; be- cause of lack of this aid on the part of those informed, the Army has been feed ing children whose parents are perfectly able to take care of them themselves But, in addition to the impostors, there have been many worthy cases.
 At the Army headquarters, in the lower part of the business portion of State street, in the heart of congested dis trict, the Army has been entertaining at breakfast from so to 100 children morn ing, and have allowed the guests to eat as long and as much as they wished. One boy-the place is carried on on the cafeteria plan-was noticed to take to his end of table coffee, doughnuts, rolls gand Ifra1iKfuftefs;;9 at oficear! noticed lie drank the coffee. but stuffed the food into his pockets. He was asked if he was not hungry, and replied that the coffee was enough for him. he was going to take the rest home to his mother and sisters. who had no breakfast. The family was visit ed and found lacking both coal and food. But this is one instance; the unworthy cases are said to be of such numbers as to discourage the work until some suita- ble system for dealing with the matter of feeding the really needy children can be worked out.

ports that in the last six months he has been called upon to stop three child mar riages. the prospective bride in each case 2 school child under IA years of age.
 Investigation has brought to light that there is carried on in the Dante and Dore school districts what may be called wholesale traffic in child wives. Girls are brought from southern Italy and Sicily by fathers who act as matrimonial agents. In explanation of the child mar riages, the Italian colony say they are customary in the home land. In reply to this naive excuse. Superintendent Bodine remarks that this is America and not Italy; the girls must stop work on the rousseau and go to school.
 Thefathers literally sellthe girls to men the children have never seen; the pros pective son-in-law pays for the girls transportation, for her wedding finery, and pays the wedding expenses "a no in- considerable sum, for the Italians make a great show of marrying and funerals. We wonder what the little tossed-about maid thinks of all this: whether she pre- fers the schoolbooks or the husband?
 Whatever her choice, she is not to in- dulge it; this strange new government under which she has come is looking af- ter her with different paternal care than that naturally hers; very carefully is little Rosina Montini and her sisters to be watched hereafter. Superintendent Bodine has detailed an officer to investi- gate every child marriage. Fathers are apt to give the age of the little brides rather carelessly when the marriage li- cense is asked for. and to offset this the Italian consul will be asked to have the birth records forwarded from Italy of girls whose youthful appearance brings age into question.

A Fair Hatch.

1t is difficult to define what should be a fair
hatch from a sitting of eggs, as opinions differ.
Some consider seven chicks to be a fair hatch, or
over one-half of thirteen eggs, though others may
be satisfied with five. No breeder can guarantee"
every egg to hatch. He knows no more about
them than the buyer in that respect, but he should
endeavor to send eggs from vigorous stock. A
customer will be lucky if he gets a pair of first
class standard exhibition birds from a sitting of
thirteen eggs. Some breeders do not get such a
pair from a dozen sittings. The customer is re-
sponsible for the hen that sits on the eggs and
for her management while on the nest. Some Gus
toners do not know good birds when they see
them, and often complain ignorantly. The breed
er must depend on any statement sent him., with
out being able to verify or deny it. Before COM
planning, ask yourself at what price you will sell
the chicks should you receive an order for them,
and compare the value with the cost. An excellent
way to settle disputes is for the breeder to make
an offer to the customer for the chicks, for if they
are worthless then the customer will sell at a low
price; if valuable, he will not sell at all. The
breeder will then have an opportunity to see them.
The breeder who values his reputation should en-
deavor to satisfy every customer, even If doing
so sometimes requires a sacrifce.-

Growing and Feeding Sweet Potatoes.

Messrs. Editors: l see you ask persons that
have anything of Importance to say to write to
The Progressive Farmer and Cotton Plant. I will
give my experience in raising and feeding sweet
potatoes.
/ have rows three and a half feet wide, set
draws twenty inches in row. / manure with
coarse farm yard manure in drill with SO to 100
pounds muriate potash, so to 100 pounds cotton
seed meal, and 100 to 200 pounds 16 per cent acid
phosphate per acre. L vary the fertilizer accord
ing to the character of the soil. Very sandy land
needs a large per cent of potash, and poor land
needs more ammonia.
Few of us have understood the feeding value of
the sweet potatoes. With sweet potato patch in
each field so as that hogs can eat peas or potatoes
they do better than on peas alone. 1 am trying
feeding my mules half feed potatoes; give one
third more in measure than you do corn in ear.
With peavine or sofa bean hay you may feed
sweet potatoes entirely, if not at very hard work.
With the low price of cotton let us all resolve
to raise more potatoes, corn, and hay, and more
pork and beef, and less cotton and tobacco, so as
to make our farms self-sustaining, thereby being
prosperous and happy.

needed. Our hlu-SldeS and gradually Sloplng neldS
have been ditched with the hope that washing
would be prevented. This method has done much
for the protection of our fields; but during the
last few years our bitches have not been large
enough to hold the hard rains: and every farmer
knows the result when a ditch breaks.
Our deepest blowing and hillside ditching have
not been a success.
During the last two years, some have begun ter
racing usually giving a fall of one to two inches
per rod. Now, if DIR. Freeman is right, this work
is wrong, and will not be a success. If level ter
racing is the true way, the sure way and the only
way to prevent washing and waste, and to con-
serve moisture, it is good that the Doctor knows
it, and is making it known. / don't believe that
level terracing can be successfully applied to all
farms; and / believe there are but few farms in
my county where level terracing can be so applied
to all the fields. / know of but one farmer who
Is trying the level system, but so far, he is we'll
pleased. The apparent objection / see in the level
terrace, Is the great number of terraces to be
made to hold all the rainfall. But DIR. Freeman
says a fall of three feet between terraces, with
deep blowing, will save our land and prevent
washing.
Now, if this be true and applicable to all fields,
the Doctor surely is entitled to every farmers
thanks. A sure rule being found every farmer
can go to work by that rule feeling sure of sue
cess. The land in Wilson County where the Doc
tor lives is not so hilly as the land further west.
But 1 believe the hilly land can be managed as he
directs, more easily and more successfully than
the land that is almost level. On most of farms
there are fields, sloping so gradually, that to get
three feet of fall. the terraces would be $50 or
200 yards apart, and the water, not absorbed by
the soil. will overflow the terrace and the end
sought will not be accomplished.
/ may be mistaken in this view, but so it seems
to me. l think a safer plan is not to confne our
selves to any certain fall between terraces, but
make them so we can feel sure our land is safe
from the destruction caused by the hardest show
ers or long continued rains.
The greatest trouble with the falling or slop-
ing terrace, is the difficulty in getting outlets for
the water. Common sense and our best judgment
must be used, and / feel sure the best plan will
be reached after while. We thank the Doctor, and
hope he will tell us more about this very impor-
TAFT subject; how he makes his terraces and
whether he cultivates with the terrace or across it.
The last Bulletin, October, 1904, is valuable on
this subject. CATAWBA.

''String Halt or Slipping of the Patella in Horses and
Cattle.

S~ 0AFk-S
Cattle.
Messrs. Editors: Enclosed find one dollar for
which please send me The Progressive Farmer for
1906. I would be glad if you would tell me what
is wrong with a COW that has a catch in one of her
hind legs. She walks something like a string halt
ed horse: seems like there is a catch in her hip.
J. r. W.
(Answer by DR.. TAFT Butler, Veterinarian North
Carolina Department of Agricultural
Your correspondent does not give sufficient
data upon which a definite opinion as to the nature
of the trouble affecting his COW, can be based.
However, from what he states, I suspect that
there is a slipping of the patella or stife bone
slightly out of place. This stife bone, which cor
responds to the "knee cap" of man, works on a
grooved surface of the thigh bone. The inner
prominence which forms this groove is quite high,
but the outer is comparatively slight and the
patella or stife bone slips outwards, only when
the leg is extended backward, as just before it is
brought forward in walking, the ~ligaments are
relaxed and it is then that the bone slips off the
grooved surface above referred to. This trouble
occurs frequently in colts and "growthy' young
horses, but I am not aware that it is common in
cattle. However, the description given, in this
case, fits so closely that usually given by my cor
respondents in writing about ~luxation of the pa
tella, "stifed' in horses. I am inclined to think
that this COW is suffering from the same trouble.
Furthermore, nearly every inexperienced OBJ
server will describe this trouble in horses as
"string halt" just as is done in this case.
If the trouble is what I suspect the toe will at
first drag the ground, although great muscular
effort is made to bring the leg forward, but when
the bone slips into place this extra effort will
bring the leg quickly forward and raise it higher
than usual, resembling somewhat the action of a
horse with stringhalt.
If from what I have written Mr.. W. is satisfied
this is the trouble with this COW he should confne
her to the stable and apply a blister of one CD
part of red iodide of mercury and four(4) parts
each of cerate of cantharides and lard. This
should be we'll rubbed in for ten or fifteen min
utes. over the stife joint, and for several hours
after it's application the cows head should be tied
so as to prevent her licking the blister off. The
blister should not be repeated inside of ten days
or two weeks, but, in the interval, the parts may
be creased once a day with vaseline or lard.
