What General Recommends

Following Is the concluding por-
ton of General Carlingtons report
which embodiese the recommendations
which will be carried into effect i'm
mediately by the war department:
"It is recommended that orders be
issued as soon as practicable discharg-
ing without honor every man in COM
panies B, and D of the Twenty
fifth infantry, serving at Fort Brown
on the night of August 49, 1906, and
forever debarring them from re-enlist-
ing in the army or navy of the United
States as we'll as from employment
in any civil capacity under the gov
ernment.
''In making this recommendation !
recognize the fact that a number of
men who have no direct knowledge
as to the identity of the men who ac-
'tually fired the shots on the night of
the 18th of August, 1906, will incur
this extreme penalty.
"It has been established by careful
investigation, beyond reasonable doubt,
that the firing into the houses of the
citizens of Brownville when the inhab-
itants thereof were pursuing their
peaceful vocations or sleeping, and by
which one citizen was killed and the
chief of police so seriously wounded
that he lost an arm, was done by
enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth. in
fantry, belonging to the battalion sta
toned at Fort Brown.
After due opportunity and notice
the enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth
infantry have failed to tell all that
it is reasonable to believe they know
concerning the shooting. If they had
done so; if they had been willing to
relate all the circumstances-insta
preliminary to the trouble-it is ex-
tremely probable that a clew suffi-
GENTLY definite would have been dis
closed.

smOthered, cultural cough. Immediate

THEIR
FIRST RIDE

Glider glanced anxiously at his
watch. He had only seven minutes in
which to catch his train. The night
was dark, and he could scarcely walk
five blocks in driving rain, wait for a
car and make connections.
Just then a carriage drove up to the
curb and an elderly man of about his
build alighted. The chairs were all oc-
cupied; it would be fully fifteen min
uteS before the newcomer could get
shave. In that time he could get to
the station and the carriage would
have time to return
It was worth the chance. He dashed
across the sidewalk, called an order
to the driver and jumped in. AS the
door slammed the horses started up and
they were off at a brisk pace before
Glider realized that there was a second
occupant in the carriage.
"It did not take you very long,
laughed musical voice.
Glider sank into the seat with q
groan. 81 don't know who you think
I am" he said alphabetically, 'but I'm
a robber. Don't be afraid I'm not a
regular robber, but one through force
of circumstances. I have to catch the
6:4S train, and the only way L could
do 1t was to borrow a carriage without
permission"
"My uncle did not give you permits
sion to use the carriage" demanded
the voice. Glider knew that girl with
a voice like that must necessarily be
pretty.
81 didn't ask him. he said calmly
"YOu see, it would have wasted pre-

Alfalfa For Fattening Stock.

For dairy and beef cattle and fol
sheep alfalfa has given very good re
suits. AS regards the use Of alfalfa
hay for pigs, it is better to cut it early
so that larger proportion of leaves
may be saved and consequently a
larger proportion of protein conserved
A late cutting, after the leaves have
fallen somewhat and the stem hard
ened, is better for horses, but for pigs
especially growing pigs, the crop
should be so harvested as to save the
largest number of leaves. Experience
teaches also that the third or fourth
crop is better for pigs because it is
softer and more palatable. It is always
wise to provide some sort Of trough
or rack with a floor in it for feeding
alfalfa to hogs.-I. D. Graham.

The Great Lard Maker

Lard finds a more kindly reception
on the continent of Europe than does
any other United States packing house
product. Germany and other countries
which enforce hindering regulations
against the Importation of other meat
products import large quantities of
United States lard In fact, practical
~ their only source of supply of this
article is the United States Ship
ments from other countries are rela-
lively unimportant The abundant sup
ply of corn in the hog raising sections
of the United States affords an advan-
tage in the production of lard which
practically no other country enjoys.

Hogs In Summer
Rape EnsiIage.

IF you have large quantity of rape
which cannot be fed and there is doubt
that frost might come at any time, ii
can be put in the silo. We have shown
that rape may be cut and put in the
silo either by itself OF with corn and an
excellent fodder produced, one which
is exceedingly palatable; animals eat
it with avidity, they relish it, not only
so, but it has more value than the pure
corn ensilage. 1 think it would prove
an excellent feed for steers or young
cattle. I do not advise it for milk
cows.-Dr. T. T. Shut, Canada.

Corn Hay.

Recent investigations appear to show
very clearly that slower if made under

othy hay to good advantage. Under
these conditions the timothy can be

of livery stables at decided profit
and benefit to the farmer.

THE FEEDER

Now that Scotch topped cattle have
become so fashionable it is interesting
to recall that the root crop is to the
Scotch farmer what the corn crop is
to the feeder in the American corn
belt The Scotch feeders are so ac-
customed to the use of swedes that
they can hardly believe that cattle can
be made fat during the winter season
on ration which does not contain at
least half hundredweight of them.
While they sometimes change the
roughage and concentrated feed in the
rations, they never leave out the roots.
Liberal Feeding.
No man who does not profoundly be-
1ieve in the doctrine of feeding farm
animals literally should make invest
ment in pure bred stock of any kind.
Our principal breeds of live stock have
been built up by men taking advan-
tage Of hereditary forces and by the
scientific use of feeding stuffs.-Kan-
sas Farmer.
Feeding by the Scales.
The stockman and feeder who knows
definitely when the limit for profit has
been reached without the aid of scales
when finishing stock for market is a
rarity. Even the most expert in esti-
mates will often find himself deceived
with unusual animals when the scales
are consulted. The most prevalent mis-
take made by haphazard feeders, and
one that results in tremendous losses
throughout the country, Is that Of mar
keting stock a few weeks too soon
just before they are properly finished.
Hogs I'm Summer.
Through the summer-May, June,
July and August-feed hogs but once
a day, after the sun has gone down
that is, if you have a nice large pas
ture After shutdown your chickens
have gone to roost and your hogs get
the corn. They sleep all night, get up
the next morning and go out in the
pasture and eat grass with the cattle

SIN NOW. NOT YEARS AGO


What is now a sin and a shame was
not a sin sixty years ago. This at
least is the opinion Of a gentleman
from one of the mountain counties
who is in the city. His name is Jacob
Weisman and he is hale and hearty at
81. 1t was interesting TO talk with
the old gentleman. He said, in part,
that he had all his life lived in a sec
ton where they made liquor. Every
man" he said, made a little brandy
and whiskey for his OWL use sixty
years ago. Some made it in large
quantities and sold it, waggoning 1t
for hundreds of miles, but the great
majority never made it to be sold;
they just stilled a little for their own
use and if a neighbor wanted any he
sent and got it like he would anything
else. In those days very few men got
drunk. though almost every man
would take a drink. They used it like
medicine. l know a few men yet liv-
ing who take three drinks a day, but
no more: they take it just before their
meals, but the new generation can't
be depended on. For the past 80 Or
40 years the practice has beer grow
ing worse and when you see a young
man who drinks at all he is mighty
apt to get too much. / don't think
the Almighty ever intended that
liquor should be abused as it is. /
don't really think it was a sin to make
it and use it as they did sixty years
ago, but it is a sin and an evil now of
largo nr0nnrfinnS made ca hQr9I1SQ
the people have abused it and it is
well that the country IS waking up
and wedding it Out. The people are
abusing other things as well as liquor.
1t was seldom in my earlier years that
you saw a man who could not eat
anything he wanted to; now you run
across people by the hundreds and
thousands who have to diet them
selves. This is because they nave
abused their stomachs and it would
be a sin for them to eat certain things,
for it is detrimental to their health.
Away back before the wal the good
old Methodist circuit rider expected
to be invited to take a toddy before
supper after a long ride and he was
seldom disappointed, but he don't ex-
pect any such thing now and if in
vited would consider it an insult.
Yes, things have changed and they
keep on changing. A great many men
are getting better, but those who are
not are a great deal worse"
There is a good deal of truth in
what Mr.. Weismar says and a good
deal of sense as well.-Gpeensboro

The Lion i'm the Path.

We are in favor of Overman's bill
and every other measure that will
help get larger markets for American
manufactured goods Aut Just as long
as the present high tariff law is on the
statute books England will get the
bulk of the business. In November
last Americas total exports of manu-
featured cotton of all kinds was valued
at $5.o15,5S5. In the same month
England sold $35.451. $50. or seven
times as much cotton goods.
We lave every advantage over Eng
land Except one. We cannot swap
goods like the English people. Our
p~rohibitiye tariff is the lion l in the
path. The Overman bill will help,
more steamships will help, and active
work by consuls will help, but Ding1ey
rates will make it impossible to give
American manufacturers a fair chance
with English manufacturers.-News

A CHAIN OF MASTERS
Former Chief Engineer Wallace of the
=. Canal Commission Appears Before
Senate Committee.

Washington, February John f.
Wallace in his testimony before the
inter ocean committee today said re-
garding the canal management.
1.-The present arrangement amounts
to a chain of masters with the chair
man of the commission, and executive
commissioner, Mt. Cromwell, Secre-
tary Taft and the President grading
down to MI. Stevens, or the man in
actual charge of operations on the
isthmus."
Replying to En- inquiry from Sena-
tor Morgan he said that Mr.. Crom-
well had been included as one of the
masters for the reason that he seemed
to have certain undisputed influence
which entitled him to be classed in the
chain.
Headquarters of the commission
should be on the isthmus, Mr.. Wallace
said, n the harder the communica-
ton with Washington the less the
work would be retarded. He thought
the engineer in charge was not paid an
excessive salary.

COTTON WILL SEEN
MUCH HIGHER LEVEL
C.. c. Moore of Raleigh Says Farmers
are More United Than Ever to Hold


Cotton at the present time is in the
hands of the spectators, and as soon
as this condition is remedied prices
will surely stiffen,'' said c. c. Moore,
president Of the North Carolina divi-
sion of the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton, who was a visitor in this city
Sunday.
Mr.. Moore, who makes his head
quarters in Raleigh came to Green's
boro to hear his brother DR.. w. w.
Moore, who so ably filled the pulpit
of the First Presbyterian church yes
terday.
Il have recently visited the Eastern
portion of the State" continued Mr..
Moore, land found that the farmers
in that section are more united in their
efforts to hold the crop for better
prices. There is also a decided opin-
ion that the acreage ought to be and
will be reduced"
Mr.. Moore reports wonderful pro-
gress throughout the state of the
county associations and says that
when this is done the cotton planters
will hold a place, that is rightfully
theirs in North Carolina and through
out the South.
