Mangels or Turnips For Cows.

Where silos are not had to provide
succulent feed for dairy cows, many
do the next best thing by growing
turnips or mangels. There is always
the one objection to turnips - the
risk of tainting the milk; and espe-
cially does this turnip flavor develop
in butter after it is held some time.
1t is claimed that if you feed turnips
directly after the morning milking
there is no danger of taint; however,
we would not care to risk our repu-
tation as butter maker on it. If
you cannot put up silage and must
have something else, why not raise
mangels? You can raise more of
them to the acre than you can turnips,
and you can avoid the risk of turnip
taint. But whatever you do, don't
fail on a good store of succulent feed
for next winter. Cows do their best
when on clover. You can provide
sweet clover hay for next winter, but
succulence must come from some 9th
er source.-Weekly Witness.

Thus it is readily understood how
very important it is that every lamb
born to the flock be kept alive and
grown into salable animal. whether
as mutton lamb or a mature sheep.
This principle of flock management

mind and every feature of lamb rails

Jumping Fish Story Of North Carolina

A fish who would a-traveling GO

of the sound and landed in the ten
der of the Norfolk and Southern mail
train and came on up to Kinston.

Jack Neal to Mr.. June Stevenson.
Captain Neal told him that as the
train was crossing the Beaufort
Moorehead bridge this morning he
saw fish jump out of the water and
rising about fifteen feet in the air

fireman, Alfonso Williams, picked it
up and 1t was found to be a small
hogfish. This is straight and vouched

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
TRADE STILL EXPANDING
Outputs of Plants Growing In Volume
to Meet Growing Demand-Fail-
ures Less In Number.

New York. "Bradstreet's" says
that as the season advances, trade
tends to show further expansion and
industrial lines are becoming more
active. Outputs are being increased
by plants already in operation and fire.
quent reports come in hand of re-
sumption by concerns that have been
shut down for some time past. I'm
der the circumstances employment is
more general, pay rolls are larger
and more money Is available for
spending. In a nutshell, trade is
good; industry, particularly iron and
steel, is active outputs are close to
normal and prospects are pleasant,
the most notable drawbacks being re-
duced yields of cotton and a smaller
than earlier expected corn crop
Within the week house trade has
expanded in marked degree, especial
activity being noticed in demand for
dry goods and millinery. Buyers
have been in the markets in large
numbers and while they have taken
hold quite freely they are neverthe-
less exercising much care in making
purchases. There is apparently lit
tie disposition to load up with expen-
sive goods, especially in sections
where cotton and corn have not main
tanned earlier promise.
In some instances shipping depart
ments of jobbing houses are working
overtime in order to get goods out
promptly. Early fall displays have
helped retail trade a little, but on the
whole that line of business remains
quiet. Wheat is moving to market,
though the Northwest has not ship
ped as freely as expected The -four
trade is looking up, full time Is more
general and demand for staple grocer
les is better.

Growing Cow Feed Stuff.

The various State experiment sta
tions are doing a good work in DEM
onstrating that cow feed stuff may be
grown on the farm, and the saving
incident. The Tennessee Station in
a bulletin throws some good light
on the subject, in the matter of feed
ing these along with corn silage. 1t
says that a ton of alfalfa or COW pea
hay MAY be produced at cost of
from SO to s5, whereas wheat bran
costs from $40 to S25. From two
to three tons of COW pea hay and
from three to five tons of alfalfa can
be obtained from an acre of land;
hence there is a great advantage in
the utilization OF these roughnesses
in the place of wheat bran.
Alfalfa and COW pea hay cannot
be substituted to the best advantage
for cottonseed meal, as this food
stuff is 50 very rich in protein that
larger bulk must be consumed than
the capacity of the average COW will
permit.
The substitution of roughness
rich in protein for an expensive COM
centrate will enable the dairyman to
make milk and butter at a less cost
and will thus solve one Of his most
serious problems.
In substituting alfalfa hay for
wheat bran it will be best to allow
one and one-half pounds of alfalfa
to each pound of wheat bran, and
the results are likely to prove more
satisfactory if the alfalfa is fed in a
finely chopped condition
These tests indicate that with al
falfa hay at SO a ton and wheat
bran at $50 the saving effected by
substituting alfalfa for wheat bran
would be Sc for every 100 pounds
of butter. and 1880 for every 100
pounds of milk. The farmer could
thus afford to sell his milk for 1913
cents a hundred less than he now re-
ceives and his butter for about %
cents, as compared with 25 cents a
pound.
These experiments show why al
falfa has been frequently used as n
basis of manufactured foodstuffs, aud
indicate that the farmer who can
grow it makes mistake IN purchas-
ing artificial stuffs of which q forms
the basis.
When alfalfa was fed under the
most favorable conditions gallon Of
milk was obtained for 81 cents and
pound of butter for 10A cents.
When COW pea hay was fed the low
est cost of gallon of milk was 5.2
cents and of a pound of butter "a
cents. In localities where peas have
grown well it can be utilized to re-
place wheat bran, and in sections
where alfalfa can be grown this crop
can be substituted for COW pea hay

Flowers on the Farm.

Quite often we read articles, hear
expressions, and observe cases Of
farm homes unadorned with flowers
of any sort.
The explanation or excuse given, is
that usually so much hard work is
necessary and that there is so little
spare time. Often this is true, fear,
but in some cases much of the neces-
sary hard work can be avoided by
proper management. However, the
main reason why so many farm homes
are devoid of flowers is that they are
being rented. Many live but one
year on the same place and others
have the assurance of the place but
for one year. In both cases there is
scant encouragement to make flower
beds.
If the grounds are run Wild" or
have a sod covering, 1t is difficult to
prepare the soil. To do nicely, the
soil must be cultivated through one
season before most flowers do we'll.
If this is impossible the only way
would be to grow row, or bed Of
flowers, in the vegetable garden.
All the beautiful shrubs and peren-
malls are impractical for the renters.
unless they know they have the place

CHARTING THE
SEA WRECKAGE.
Wireless Tetis Ships OF Obstruc-
tions at Sea in Order That They
May Be Avoided.

When a man driving horse or mo-
tor car sees a red light ahead. he is
likely to slow up or go mere CAREFUL
ly, and when a sea captain arrives in
region where he knows he may en-
counter floating obstruction, you
may be certain he will send a man
aloft to scan the tumbling sea.
or course, 1t is more difficult to To-
cate the dangerous things afloat; at
the same time, Uncle Sam, through
his photographic Office, manages to
keep a record of nearly every serious
obstacle in the ocean. Not many of
the land-lubbers who go to Europe
know that their vessels skipper has
in the chart-house a map showing the
location of icebergs and field ice in
the North Atlantic, the position of
wreckage and derelicts, as last re-
ported, as we'll as the latitude and
longitude of drifting buoys that
broke loose from their moorings
months, perhaps years, before. Lit
tie triangles and circles denote the
ice, derelicts are represented by
sketches of ships floating on even
keel or bottom up, as the case may
be, while symbols like the letter a"
and demiiohn indicate buoys.
The Photographic Office is investi-
eating port facilities, alteration of
sound, great waves, spontaneous COM
hnctinn CtranIinU collisions n
currents and routes, improvement Of
signalling in the merchant marine,
stellar navigation, value and correct
ness of charts, and the mariner who
furnishes such data receives pilot
charts free of cost and franked envel-
opes for mailing the photographic
forms. If he happens to be at for
eign port all he has to do is to give
his data to the American consul, who
will mail the forms home.
But the pilot chart is not the only
means by which the photographic
Office disseminates information to
navigators. By direction of the Bu-
reau Of Equipment, the United States
naval WlIGltSS SIdIlOuS Oll lue Alldu-
tic and Pacific seaboard are furnished
daily, or as often as occasion war;
rants, with facts relating to ocean OBJ
structions.
These facts are sent broadcast by
wireless three times at intervals of
eight hours by the stations furnished
with them. The hours selected are 6
a. m, 2 p. m. and 10 p. m, local
standard time. Messages open with
the word obstruction, and then fol-
low latitude and longitude or bear
ing, the nature of the obstruction,
and when it was last sighted. These
messages and otherhydrographic data
are kept on file at the wireless sta
tions, and such information is trans
mitted to vessels which send wireless
requests. Masters of passing ships
are also asked to acquaint the wire
less stations with all distractions
they have seen, so that fellow marin-
ers may have the benefit of their ex-
perience.

Fertilizer Expariments.

The Department of Agriculture has
received a report from Germany of
experiments with barnyard manure
showing that deep stall manure is
much more effective than that from
heaps. The loss of nitrogen in the
heap was greatly reduced by spread
Ing the fresh manure on layer of
old manure. Gypsum was ineffective
and is condemned as a preservative.
The best results were obtained by
preserving the urine from the stalls
by irself and rotting the manure and
litter with water.
Green manuring with beans and
peas gave good results in comparison
with the manure on beets and oats.
With potatoes the results were very
variable. The success of green man
ures depends more largely upon the
rainfall during the period of growth
than upon the character of sod. Ex-
periments with yellow clover and SER
radelin seeded between the rows of
grain indicate this to be bad prac-
tice when the green manure crops de-
velop sufficiently to affect injuriously
the growth of the grain.

soda, sulphate of ammonia and lime

loans and or a sandy soil with bar

ley, potatoes and sugar beets, 1t was
found that in cases in which the nit
rogenous fertilizers caused large in
crease in yield the nitrate of soda
gave the highest returns, ammonium
sulphate next, and lime nitrogen the
smallest. When the increases in yield
were small the effect of the fertil-
izers was very nearly the same, the
less active material giving slightly
greater increase than the nitrate.
The best results were obtained with
the less active fertilizers in the case
of potatoes. The results further in
dicate that it is mistake to apply
these fertilizers on sandy soils in the
fall. Much better results, however,
may be obtained by fall application
on the better class of soils.
