IHE TINE BETWEEN DRINKS.

For many years the clink of glasses
and the loud talk Of bar room has
been heard every time the meeting OF
the governor of North Carolina with
the governor OF South Carolina has
been recalled. "Said the governor OF
North Carolina to the governor OF
South Carolina" so the story goes,
cit has been a long time between
T drinks Said the governor Of South
Carolina to the governor OF North
Carolina, Any time is a long time be-
tween drinks and with q loud guffaw
the two executives sauntered toward
the bar"
This story has been supposed to
typify the south for many years, but
only few days ago the present COVER
nor OF North Carolina did actually
meet the governor of South Carolina,
and they had good laugh over the old
story, for both We're teetotalers, and as
matter of fact the meeting Of these
two governors more closely typif1es the
south of today than that meeting of
fiction. Then southern states are al
most wholly prohibition. In Mississip-
pi, 90 per cent of her counties have
voted for prohibition and actually ep-
force their law. Only five out of sew
senty-five counties permit liquor to be
sold.
+ In Arkansas, fifty-nine counties have
declared for prohibition and fourteen
still have saloons.
Seventy four counties In Virginia
have voted the saloons out and the
other twenty-six are talking about do
ing the same thing.
Eighty-five per cent Of the counties
a Georgia are dry, and In Tennessee

CIV. G. w. in Grundy Republican,
In the fall of 1854 stayed one night
on the McMartin farm. two miles north
OF Beaman, then occupied by Mr.. Van
Ness father Of Mrs. Amos Albright Of
Grundy Center. Among other exper-
fences Mrs Van Ness told me about
finding rattle snakes at different times
in the house. A man who boarded
with them went upstairs without a
light and in moving the pillow on his
bed felt something cold and clammy
and when he got light discovered a
rattle snake under his pillow At an
other time Mrs. Van Ness found one
crawling down the pantry shelves,

Baby Beef.

Earlier maturity has been the con-.
tinuous aim of progressive breeders of
live stock, and its imperative necessity
is one Of the chief features brought
out by the fat stock shows of the pres
emit day, according to Ernest G. Ritz
man of the United States bureau of
animal industry. Most hogs Except
breeding stock) are now matured and
sold before they are II months old,
and a large proportion of the sheep OF
the mutton breeds are fed for market
and sold before they have reached
that age.
While the minimum age Of maturity
seems to have been closely approached
with both hogs and sheep, this does
not seem to be so generally the case
with cattle. At the time when steers
were marketed at 4 and 5 years of age
finished 2-year- olds were considered an
early matured product. Five years ago
and even more recently, prime steer
up to "a months of age was classed
as baby beef, while today it is be-
coming questionable whether an ami
NAL over Is months Of age should be
considered as such.
Some Of the principal advantages de-
rived from the production of baby beet,
as compared with older beef are the
quick returns from the investment the
greater demand for the product and the
greater amount of meat produced per
pound of feed consumed.
In feeding baby beef the profit comes
in within two years after the birth of
the calf In case also of the loss of the
animal, this would be considerably
smaller in young animal because the
latter represents a smaller, bulk and
has moreover been produced at lesser
cost per pound Of live weight. On the
other hand the lighter the animals are
marketed the more breeding stock is
necessary to produce an equal amount
gof marketable beef. The extra cost
of keeping this additional number of
breeding stock, however, is offset by
doing away with the cost of keeping
steers the third year; thus the number
of marketable stock kept on the farm
is increased.
The production of baby beef involves
a, question OF economics based on the
law of diminishing returns" which
has already lowered the age at which
stock is matured by one-half of what
it once was. No feeder of the pres
ent day would think Of keeping a steer
four. five or more years. even If he
could sell him at the same price per
pound as younger stock. because it
would decrease the number of market
able stock and the same principle is
true as regards 2-year-olds and year.
lings, only in less degree.
There are two factors connected
with the attainment of earlier mature
ity viz, better breeding and better
feeding and it appears certain that
those breeders and feeders who make
the most of their opportunities along
these lines will make the greater prof

Careful Milkino.

Every mixer thinks he knows how
to milk, but if the cows could express
their opinions they would probably in
innate that a few lessons in the gentle
art. we're not unnecessary. 1t is not
fair treatment to sit down to a cow
and tug and haul ON her until she
steps around in the stall and acts as
if she were badly hurt. Sometimes a
COW will stop eating and wait until the
ordeal is over before she will resume
her meal The COW that does that is
not comfortable, and an uncomfortable
COW will not do her best for her own

that so pleases the COW that she clear

A Profitable Investment.


The farmer who does not keep at.
least small flock of sheep is losing
money every year. Much of the feed
consumed by flock of sheep would
be otherwise total 5 waste. A few
sheep should be found on every farm.
Good, comfortable sheds that are large
and roomy are necessity where sheep
are to be wintered. These need not
be expensive, but Should be well VEN
tilated, free from drafts and, situated
on dry ground. A large, open yard,
apart from that occupied by other ami
mails, should be provided for exercise.
Too much confinement in over-warm
or lily ventilated stables is fatal to-
success with sheep. On the other hand,
comfortable quarters, regular and lib
eral feeding, plenty of pure water and
sufficiency of salt will go far toward
insuring their successful wintering and
a strong crop Of lambs in the spring.
Notes.
The farmer of the future will have to
read more and know more about his
profession if he is to enjoy more than
the bare necessities of life. He can not
longer be proud of his ignorance.
. If you expect good, strong lambs
next spring, See that the ewes are
kept in a strong, thriving condition.
History of the old country proves
that mutton is the poor mans meat,
and there is nothing to prevent the
u. S. from becoming the greatest sheep
country in the world.
A sheep that is not properly shell
tered during the winter will require
more feed than the sheep which are
protected from the cold storms. 1t is
economy to provide proper shelter, as
feed is money Now is the time to at
tend to this matter.
The American people are beginning
to learn that mutton is one of the best
and most healthful of all flesh foods A
great mass of the people are we'll en-
ployed causing a strong demand for
mutton.
1t is of utmost Importance to get a
boar that stands on strong legs and
feet. Weak, broken down feet Is one OF
the most common faults to which the
modern hog is heir.

If you test your cows one day each
week during the milking period. and
on the same day of the week. when
they have been in milk for month,
and take this for an average OF nine
weeks. four weeks before the week test
and four weeks after, you will find

you to make full and complete tests

COLD SUMMER IN 1916.


Mrs. Elizabeth Chase of Usage, has
an old book which belonged to her
father, in which is pasted a newspa
per clipping referring to the year with
out a summer. It reads as follows:
Frost occurred in every month Of the
year 1916. Ice formed a half an inch
thick in May; snow fell to the depth
of ten inches lin Vermont, seven in
Maine, three in the interior of New
York and also in Massachusetts,, in
June; ice was formed of the thickness
of common window glass turnout New
England, New York and some parts of
Pennsylvania on the fifth Of july In
dian corn was so frozen that the great
er part was cut for fodder in August,
and farmers supplied themselves from
the corn produce in 1915 for seed for
the spring of 1917.

GOVERNOR cUMMINs' RIGHT.

I rs
Goodness! What howl is sgoing up
from the friends Of Senator Ali-'
son over the announcement that Gov
ernor Cummins would be candidate
for senator. In another column we
give place to one of these character
istic spurts of standpat venom which
is about as puerile mess as we have
noted in a long time. Allison has been
in the senate too long already for the
good OF the country, and it is high
time some other man was chosen even
for, the good Of the state. Cummins
may not be the man, and we do not
think he is, but Of his right to make
his announcement there ought to be
no question Every trust apologist in
the country, from Maine to California,
is bowling against him and that is
something in his favor.
