Raleigh, N. c., Special.-Hon R. B.
Glenn Governor of North Carolina,
has taken vigorous stand to put
down the mob spirit in his State.
To this end he has just issued the
following:
nTo the People Of North Carolina,
Greeting:
Up until few weeks ago and for
-four years, our State was blessed
with law and order and peace and
plenty reigned. Now, a few lawless
men, in three instances, have taken
the law into their own hands and by
violence and with strong hands have
overthrown the law, and wilfully and
deliberately committed murder by
lynching persons confined in gail. In
none of these instances was there the
slightest excuse for these acts, for In
all cases special terms have been or
dered and in one case the court was
actually sitting and trying the pris-
oners. Such acts breed contempt Of
law, bringing the courts into dire
pute, and put blot on the good name
Of the State. To stop these disgrace
full occurrences and to protect all
prisoners, no matter who they are, l
have issued the following order to
all the sheriffs Of. the State, and to
those in command of the State troops:

RAISING Alfalfa,

l wish t. make an alfalfa shgges-
tion and give few hints. There is an
impression that alfalfa is slow to start,
and that it is difficult to grow it. ]
have raised alfalfa for ten years, and
| find it the fastest grower of any of
the clovers, and the most hardy. OF
course, if it is sown on foul" ground,
the weeds may shade 1t, and rob 1t
of needed moisture, and it may be a
failure. The suggestion that l wish to
make is that your readers try alfalfa
on bluegrass sod ground. Don't be
afraid to plow up the best Kentucky
bluegrass you have to sow alfalfa. 1t
will pay you. 1t will only temporarily
check your bluegrass from growing;
and, you will soon have full crop of
both bluegrass and alfalfa, on the
same ground, at the same time. Plow
the sod without jointer, SO the blue
grass will come up between the fur
row slices. Harrow the ground thor
oughly, after rolling. Sow twenty
pounds best alfalfa seed per
acre. Don't buy cheap seed, buckhorn
or dodder in it, or you will have
trouble. Harrow to cover the seed. II
crust forms after the seed has ger.
minated, Tor before, for that matter),
roll to break the crust and to conserve
moisture. BY the time alfalfa has
started well, you will notice the blue
grass, and you will soon have the best
pasture in Inc world. Alfalfa is a
deep feeder as well as feeder on nit
rogen Of the air. Bluegrass is a sur
face feeder, and they seem to help each
other. This mixture makes good hay
too, if cut early before bluegrass rip
ems. About nine times in ten alfalfa
growers are apt to think their alfalfa
is too thin, and they plow it up be.
fore it has a chance to show what
it can do. Some also think it Is "froz-
en- out" and that it will not pay to let
it stand. would say don't be in a
hurry to plow up thin alfalfa. The
alfalfa. plants require plenty Of room
to do their best. If you have one plant
on every square foot your alfalfa is
too thick. If the plants are two foot
apart don't be discouraged, but after
one year old disk thoroughly using
three or four horses and have steel
frame spike tooth harrow attached to
disk to smooth and pulverize the soil.
The teeth Of harrow should be slanted
backward. This cultivation will kill
weeds and will make the alfalfa grow,
until you can notice the ground be-
fore harvest time. Alfalfa that Is
raised out of the ground three or four
inches by frost will grow if the spring
is at all favorable, so do not be in a
hurry about plowing up ALFALFA. N.

Lazy Fowls DO Not Pay.

A lazy fowl is not profitable, and
one way to make the birds lazy is TO
overfeed them. Overfeeding leads TO
many vices, and some diseases occur
mostly where the birds have been pam"
pered. The blood Of birds is warmer
than that of animals, and as soon as
they are overfed they take on fat very
readily, the result being that they die
from vertigo, or become subject to
liver disease, especially fatty degen-
Grafton. The feeding should be SO as
to keep the hens at work by scratch
ing, and if few grains OF. wheat or
corn are buried in the ground In litter
the hens will industriously work 1or
them, an excellent plan being to scat
ter millet seed in litter, or even on the
surface Of the ground. The object
should be to feed less concentrated
food and make potatoes, grass and otn-
er bulky material serve the purpose, as
the hens prefer food which contains
all the elements necessary for promot-
ing laying. Lean meat, blood and ami
NAL meal are valuable additions to the
grain and bulky foods.

cartridge with cap and about eighteen
inches of fuse. Then, with the heel,
kick the dirt tight at top of crowbar
hole, and it is ready to light. One man
can easily prepare, load and fire twen-
ty holes in an hour. If the ground is
very wet the dirt will be scattered
far and wide, but with the ground in
fair condition you will loosen the earth
for from three 10 five feet in diameter
and one or two feet in depth, making
a perfect bed for the roots to grow in,
and making the setting much easier
job than the hole Gug in the ordinary
way. Some people are afraid Of the
stuff, but we have used it for several
years for blowing rocks. We are care
full in handling it, and believe anyone
who is not naturally careless can soon
learn to handle it with comparatively
perfect safety. If you are afraid of 1t
there is usually some one in the neigh
borhood who understands it and will
use it, but such men are rather prodi-
gal in using it, and we find we can do
as good work ourselves and save lots

The Art Of Dining.

The Delineator for September
marks The initial appearance Of Jean
Marie Devaux as its culinary editor,
NJ. Devaux is considered one of the
greatest living authorities on matters
pertaining to culinary art and science
In his initial talk, "The Perfect Din
ner," he says "It is long step
from the absurd and vulgar dissipa-
tions of the table to the perfection OF
the delicate art Of dining as it is now
practiced by lovers Of nice eating
Thus, what diner today would be
guilty of studying how to prolong his
menu :rather than how to perfect it,
and yet the ancient gourmands fail
ed to realize that this is the first ludi-
ment Of the art of eating To weary
the palate with excessive feeding is
as undesirable as it is to nauseate il
with improperly cooked foods. Both
are responsible for Indigestion" He
then goes OH TO treat of the hofs

Farm Notes.


A good, properly kept cow stable
has no offensive odor.
Land plaster should be used freely
in the stables to absorb odors.
Use small tin pals or buckets for
the calves and wash and scald the pals
daily.
Are you feeding cheese COW trying
to get butter? Use your scales and
Babcock test and find out for sure
Tree roots extend as far as the limbs
extend and sometimes further on this
accouuc manure should be scattered
broadcast.
Any attempt to grow something that
is not well adapted to the soil in
creases the cost of production and les
sens the profit
More calves die from scours caused
by drinking from filthy pals where
a.. sorts Of germs multiply than from
any other cause.
Nothing can be more essential to
successful farm life than having a
variety and abundance of good food at
all times. Poultry will help out great
ly in this respect by furnishing eggs
and meat.
A noted English poultry raiser is the
authority for the statement that fifty
chickens can be kept on one acre of
land without detriment to ordinary
crops that would not be injured by
scratching.
The greater the variety of good
grasses in the pasture, the better for
the thrift of the stock that feeds there.
An especial advantage with mixed
grasses is that you give a longer sea-
son Of pasture.
Eggs are like milk in that they can
be used in a large number of ways.
They are good alone or used in making
other dishes and are highly nutritious.
The amount of nutriment they supply
is not appreciated sufficiently.
In order to grow small fruits sue
cessfully, it is essential to have fer
tile soil. There is little danger of It's
being too rich. Secure healthy and
vigorous plants. Be careful not to
allow the roots to become dry in trans
planting. Give clean, thorough culti-
vation.
