Earnings of Good Cows.


To demonstrate that all the good
cows are not confined to any one breed
and to show that the net profit per
year Is from a good COW attention is
called to the records of the best FIVE
cows at the Wisconsin experiment sta
tion as follows: Johanna, Holstein,
1852 pounds milk, 44496 pounds fat,
average test, 1852 per cent, net profit
1851; Marcella, Jersey, 1881
pounds milk, 44233 pounds butter fat,
average test, SIS per cent, net profit
s8001; Margaret, Guernsey, 8,652.7
pounds milk, 40325 pounds fat, aver
age test, 4.66 per cent, net profit
1880; Christiana, Ayrshire, 9,037.4
pounds milk, 1868 pounds fat, aver
age test, 4.06 per cent, net profit
s66.21. The cost of feed at market
prices has been charged to each COW
and the figures represent the sale of
butter fat less the cost Of feed The
skim milk, calf, and manure are pro-
ducts in addition.

to a crosspiece about one-quarter the
distance from the top. A couple Of
nails are driven through the box and
into the crosspiece to swing on. Half
way back, on the inside, narrow
piece of board is nailed, back of which
the nest is made.
To set the trap simply raise the
stats inward from the bottom s or 8

under one of the Stats. AS the hen

He bought a hoe, a rake spade,
Some little seeds to SOW,
At last he got the garden made
And saw the green things grow.
He work'd the rows and beds each day i;
Each little plant he knew,
And as he smiled and sweat away
Oh, joy; how fast they grew.
No foods came down to wash things out,
No frosts to kill or blight;
No neighbours chickens scratched about ;
No kline strayed in at night.
Each seed he planted did its best
And not a one did rot
No other garden, East or West,
Such veg tables begot.
But still this man did not enjoy
These vegetables so new,
For every night neighbours boy
Stole what the garden grew.

very little is said about 1t. Under a
Republican administration some
years ago 1t was a serious offense and
indicated bad management and in
competency, at least so the Raleigh
News and Observer was free to say.
However, there is a feature to Fod-
drell's escape that should not pass
unnoticed. He was at work at the
convict camp at Laurinburg. BY
whose authority was he sent there?
If we mistake not. the law implies
expressly that life-term prisoners are
not to be sent outside of the State
Prison? II this be a correct version
of the law. why was Foddrell sent to
the camp at Laurinburg? Perhaps

Eastern North Carolina Farmers

Must Change Their Methods o,
Growing the Tobacco Crop.
Messrs Editors: For the last fex
years Il has been perfectly apparent
to every close observer Of the saies
OF tobacco on the western North Car
ol!na markets that thin white tobae-
CO was growing iess and less In do
mand. During The frst few years

the State. white. or what In known
as lemon colored tobacco was In
| greatest demand and sold for fancy
prices. but for some cause the de-
mand for the manufactured product
made from this type OF leaf began
| to drop on. In the meantime. slim
ulated by the higher prices OF white
tobacco. farmers devoted their chief
attention to the production Of this
tobacco. with the result that more
of this type OF tobacco Was made
than there was demand for and con-
sequently the price fell on.
Farmers learned from experience
that that the highest type OF white
tobacco was made by priming OF the
tobacco early and curing IL q pea
green color which changed after ly-
ing In bulk q few weeks TO q very
beautiful light color. This method
was practiced to such an extent that
since 1900. although the crop is now
not transplanted much. II any. ear
lier than 1t was then. yet II is taken
of the hill and cured from fifteen TO
thirty days earlier. This type OF to-
bacco for the last two years has
hardly paid the cost OF production
and as most of our farmers made
this type of tobacco. IT will be seen
that 1t has been. to say the least. an
Improbable crop.
We must change our methods.
The manufacturers tell US they want
a heavier. richer and ripper tobacco.
They have paid good prices for such
of this tobacco as we have made.
A change from present methods
certainly cannot harm US. for we are
making nothing by growing the thin.
white, chaffy tobacco.
1t is easy enough done. When the
tobacco is about knee high 1t should
be primed high and the primings
thrown on the ground. Then top low

until thoroughly ripe. and cure. The
result will be an utterly different
class of tobacco from that we are
now making and a class the manu-
facturers say they want. Let's make
what they want and q little bit less
than they want. Grow all our home
supplies. Market the crop in q sea-
sonable and reasonable way and not
throw 1t all on the market In three
or four months. Do this and in my
opinion It will be the medicine that
will produce a cure.-O. L.SJoyner.
