who was the oldest daughter Of that
chivalrous gentleman and brilliant
lawyer, the late Col. J.. M. McCorkIe
Of Salisbury. She was a lady whose

December day went to Salisbury on
his way to Raleigh to attend the SEES

that night with his brother in Sails

Miss Sallie had that evening been
to the Jail to carry food to a sick
prisoner, and upon her return home
said: Uncle John, you can we'll
serve the poor and helpless when you
go to Raleigh by having the law re-
pealed which prohibits fires in jails.'
He was surprised to know that such
a law existed, but upon examination
found it too true that such was the
fact. He went to Raleigh and secured
it's repeal, and as a result the unfor-

THE BEST

Every dairyman has at his command
two Of the best bactericides known to
science One Of these is soap and the
other is sunshine OF the two soap is
the quickest in it's action and sunshine
the most effective
There is no excuse for allowing bac-
terra or other germ life to remain
about the milk things as long as soap
and sunshine exist in any quantity re-
quired. Soap is cheap and sunshine
much cheaper.
If the milk things are washed and
scalded and set where the sun can
shine into them for a few hours-1ong
enough to, dry them completely-the
number Of germs left alive will not
seriously affect the milk.
Milk things should be thoroughly
washed in hot soapsuds, rinsed in
sca1ding hot water or live steam and
then set where the sun can shine on
and into them as long as possible.
In these days most people under
stand how rapidly bacteria and micro
organisms increase. From a single
germ the increase in a few hours may
For this reason we should be careful
to use every means in power to
ket p germ life in allegiance as much
as possible. With hot soapsuds and
sunshine we can do perfect work and
do it at little cost
II is worm WnlIe 10 be especially
careful about this matter of germ
growth The dairyman may think his
care will not count for much so long
as so many other are careless, but
the careful dairyman is soon discov-

products With no other effort than
painstaking cleanliness requires he

once. If we will follow it intelligently
for five years there could be no DOUBT
that his soil will be greatly improved
and his bank account .fattened.
A farmer may be a feeder OF hve
stock, a breeder Of pure-bred stock or
a specialist in potato growing, 1rult
growing or dairying and make the rest
of his farming s~ubservient to his one
chosen branch. In this way ne can
keep up the fertility OF his SOIL anu
without buying large amounts OF Ter
~tilizerS or manure.
But no man can expect TO supply
stable manure for a 240-acre farm I'M
less he carries more live STOCK 'lah
does our Kentucky friend.
His farm ought to support 100 heao
OF sheep, instead Of fifteen. A DAIRY
herd of fifty cows could be maintained
profitably and 100 head OF hogs. OF
even more could be turned on the
land every year. He should raise less
wheat and more clover and COW peas
land is high and rolling alfalfa might
be established. This would prove or
the greatest advantage. at least hVe
acres ought to be planted to potatoes.
He should practice a system OF rota-
ton which will put nitrogen and pnos-
phoruS into his wheat lana. he
should SOW pats and COW peas and
clover on his corn land and change
his crops every year., getting around
to each crop every three years. he
should feed every pound of crops TO
MS live stock, as by selling it that way
he will be paying the fertility OF his
soil through the manure which MS
cattle. hogs and sheep Will oduce
A man who has followed grain
farming for twenty years has much
to learn about special farming. 1t re-
quires careful study and experiment
work, not only in the production OF
special crops, but in their marketing
as well. He would do better to prac-
tice diversified farming, using the
easily grown crops which we nave
mentioned. He must stop robbing
his soil and commence feeding it. This
is not a difficult thing to do and his
depends upon it.
