PeIlagra and Corn Worms.

(R- J. r. in Atlanta Constitution.)
J.. w. Grason-Many years ago
when this country was settling up,
with the clearing up of much fresh
land, n as a general rule. new
ground was planted late in corn, we
had plenty Of blind staggers and mae
staggers among our horses, n nearly
every case was fatal. But, as h
farms became older, this disease be-
came less common, and now it has
been many years since I have heard OF
a case; n no doubt staggers was
produced by a worm which infected
the young corn in the ro4tng-ear
stage, and might not this be the cause
of p~e1lagra?
Answer.-'Blind Staggers," or cere-
b~ro-spinal meningitis, has been shown
to be due to the eating of damaged
ensilage, corn, brewers grains, oats,
etc, or to drinking stagnant pond wa
ter or well water contaminated by
surface drainage.
In England a similar disease has been
called grass staggers.' In b South
it has been attributed to the eating or
Worm-eaten corn. According to many
means of information. it seems to be
as prevalent now as 1t was a genera
ton or SO ago. I have never heard
il suggested that the corn ear worm
(same as cotton boil worm and to-
mato worm) was the cause of any dis
ease, and do not think it at all proba-
BILE.
Opinions as to the cause of p~ellagra,
even among physicians, seem to be in
a sort of formative or tentative stage.
My opinion, which may not be worth
hat the disease has no re-
lation to the eating of corn bread, or
corn in any form, else it would have
been prevalent ever sine the first set
Element Of this country, when we be-
gan to use Indian corn n even be-
fore. aong the Indians. We still eat
corn bread and homfny at our house,
and expect to continue to do so until
better evidence is presented that it
causes pellagra or any other disease.

Feeding Value of Alfalfa.

(From Coburn's The Book of Alfa1fa-)
The feeding value Of alfalfa is large
ly in its chemical compound known as
protein; it's extreme digestibility is an
other desirable quality to be consider
ed, and not least is it's appetizing char
acter. Not only DO all animals like
it, but when given in moderate quaint
ties it seems to increase the general
appetite for more fat-making feeds.
Steers beginning to fall off, on a
heavy diet of corn will come to their
appetites after being fed only a few
pounds Of alfalfa daily, and will eat
and assimi1ate more corn than before.
Alfalfa alone is not a fat-making
food. Animals fed upon it grow in
weight, but weight is principally Of
bone and muscle. 1t is without a SUI
fciency Of fat and carbohydrates, and
these should be added in such feeds
as corn, cornmeal, Kafir corn, or
Kafir cornmeal; or to a limited de-
gree even in corn slower, sorghum or
millet. When alfalfa is fed alone all
the portein cannot be digeSted and,
therefore it is always economical to
add some carbonaceous foods if ami
mails are to be fattened.

Give the Boy a Chance.

There is no doubt that il farmers
would make farm life more attractive
and less of dreary drudgery, the boys
who are suited to be farmers would
be attracted to the farm aud would
return there after getting the proper
education. But the duty Of the farmer.
as it Is the duty of every man, is to
give his boys and girls the very best
education he can. An education that
will educate not only the mind but
train the hands to enable the man TO
do something that the world needs
having lone. The fact that a boy has
been raised on the farm does not mear
that he is always the man for the
farm. His education may open to him
lines Of usefulness in which he will
max a better success than on the
farm itself, and. if he has the advan-
tage of a good agricultural college
education, agriculture will be all the
better if he finds that he is bette:
suited to be a scientist in the science:
on which agriculture is founded, that
if he returned 20 the farm with a
longing to be engaged in those scien-
tific pursuits. h experiment sta
tons look to the colleges to train
men for their work, and the farms
need the trained investigators in the
stations fully as much as they need
for farmers on the farms.
Give the boy h real practical edu-
cation and then let him tike his natu-
raj bent. for if he fas cut out for q
farmer he will get to the farm even
tuaTy. It is the u~neducated boys who
drift hopelesSiy 20 the cities. The boy
trained in a good agricultural college
will always have a place open to his
abilities. for as Mr.. Carnegie once
said: THE world is always on the
hunt for men with educated minds
and trained hands" AS I have before
said, this agricultural education is tbs

For the Sheep Raiser.

Shear:ng machines beat hand
shearing every time. They are not
expensive and they cause fewer
wounds and do the work more evenly
than the average farmer can do with
the o~ld-fashioned shears.
Watch the old ives and when their
teeth become badly worn, fatten them
as quickly as possible and send them
to the block.
A sheep is more profitable taking
mutton and wool into consideration
between two and six years.
Grade the flock just as carefully as
you grade the dairy herd. Weed out
the poor animals n keep only the
best.
Of twenty will pull down the profit
tremendously. A poor sheep will eat
as much or more than a good one
and whatever it eats is an actual loss.

This is worth while. Others may

And we do not underrate the sport, at

WHERE NORTH CAROLINA
HAS SUFFERED.
The Yanceyville Sentinel is Moving
For State Test Farm and a Big To-
bacco Market and Justice TO the
State.
Vanceyville SentineI.)

(Yanceyville SentineL)
In discussing the location of a State
Test farm in this county, Chairman
Harvey struck the key note, in our
opinion, when he expressed himself in
these words:
North Carolina owes it to herself
to place this farm in Caswell county,
as it will be a means of bringing to
the attention of the world the high
type Of her bright tobacco, and will
go a long ways towards bringing her
that credit which justly belongs to
her, but which she has never re-
ceived. Our sister Virginia county of
PittSyivania has one of these farms,
and it is imperative that Casweli have
one also"
1t is too rue that North Carolina
has never received proper credit for
the high character Of her bright to-
bacco, notwithstanding that the weed
as produced here in the counties Of
Granville, Person, Alamance, Orange,
Casweu, Rockingham. Stokes and
Forsyth, reaches a higher degree Of
excellency than anywhere on the
globe. Practically only one Virginia
market has given that State her repu-
tation abroad, u that is the market
whittier have gone the products of
these North Carolina counties. We
refer. of course, to the Danville mar
ket- These tobaccos being shipped
from a Virginia market are naturally
classed as Virginia tobacco, and to-
bacconists across the waters know
nothing Of North Carolina tobacco as
produced in the Piedmont section,
chasing all North Carolina tobacco
with the white, thin, papery type that
is shipped from the Eastern Carolina
markets.
Chairman Harvey, who, by the way,
has Travelled in Europe in the interest
Of tobaccos, tells US that foreign to-
bacconists demand Virginia tobacco
and Of that type which is sold on the
Danville market, most of which is
produced here in Piedmont North Car
DINA.
CaSWell county is contiguous TO
Danvi1le, her boundary line on the
North being not more than two and
one-half miles removed from that city.
Running east and west, Caswell is
the centre of the Piedmont section.
This false impression has lasted too
long. North Carolina has not only
lost in recognition abroad out she
has lost millions of dollars by rea-
son Of this emptying of her rich pro-
duces on a Virginia market. Not only
should the State place this test farm
mere puI SIiOuIu dIu LII Tie DOlIOiLS
of a railroad here that a Obacc mar
ket may be established, and this great
drain upon her resources be checked.
The taxes alone, arising therefrom
would more than compensate her. It
would do for her what the Danville
market has done for Virginia, or
prove Of the same great benefit as
the Winston market. No other town
in the State is as ideally located for
tobacco market, with the exception
of railroad facilities, as Yanceyville.
Given this Zone thing thou lackest"
and she would come to the front at
once.
We shall ask our next representa-
tive to make a fight for this, and let
him understand now that we will not
be satisfied with anything short of a
HI Of a fight.
