NERVOUS GOATS FAINT.

Did you ever hear of fainting or
goats? There are said to be
many of them in existence.
The most extraordinary characteris-
tic of these animals is that they are
very easily frightened. TIC simply say
boo" at them in d threatening man
ner will cause them to fall helplessly
to the ground and remain there until
the spell leaves them.
They scare and ain upon the
slightest p~rovocation. To merely jump
over a fence or bar sixteen to eighteen
inches from the ground is sufficient
to aus them to become stiff and
faint.
While under the influence Of these
spells the goats can be turned over
and dragged about as if they were
dead; they become SO rigid that they
can be lifted bodily without bending.
The animals seem to retain their
faculties during these extraordinary
spells. but their eyes have an express
sion of anxiety-one mi ght say agony.
The reasons for such a peculiarly
highly developed nervo-muscuiar sys-
tenn have not as yet been ascertained.
The goats seem normal in every other
particular, and have this advantage
over the common goats. They can
easily be kept within prescribed
grounds.

Eastern Fruit Growers Wake Up|]

Radical changes must come about
in the method of handling, grading
and marketing their fruit crops if the
farmers Of the east succeed in hold
ing their eastern markets against the
competition of the Pacific coast fruit
growers.
Those Western men certainly know
how to market their pre- i lets. The
best looking fruit and the most at
tractive packages seen in the big mar
kets of Chicago, New York n other
large cities come from the West. And
always this fruit brings top prices.
There are many things to learn in the
marketing of fruit if one would get
the most out of an. orchard.
The time to pick fruit depends
largely upon the kin OF fruit, the
distance to be shipped to market and
the demands of the market to which
it is shipped. Fruit that is sold to the
fancy family trade should be in the
finest possible condition and fully ripe
before it is picked. Private customers
are usually willing to pay more for
good fruit in a high STATE Of perfec-
ton.
On the other hand fruit that is to
be shipped a long distance must be

DEATH IN THE EEED TROUGH.

Cleanliness is as necessary a virtue
outdoors as in. Poultry house, calf
trough and swil pail alike demand it
for profit; and for any violation heavy
toll is exacted, in lack of thrift if not
in acute disease. The sterilizing pro-
cess should by no means be limited
to the dairy utensils.
Clean the poultry house and brood
ers at least twice a week., having all
droppings into the cabbage, cucum
Der, tomato or melon patch. Renew
bedding in the brOoder with fresh
sand, bran, saWdust, and dust liber-
ally with insect powder strong enough
to induce a sneeze. Too much of the
insect powder was worthless from the
first or has lost it's strength from age.
Find a good brand, which should be
a disinfectant as we'll as an inSecticide.
and scald food trOughS and
drinking fountains often, and avoid
feeding more than will be eaten.
Securing in calves too often comes
from neglect at this point, though
gueSSWOrk in warming the milk
through lack of a thermometer will
start the trouble. Sour trOughs or
pals are an abomination. Cleanse and
scald often. n never feed more than
will be eaten. Whey as it comes from
the factory, having first been in a foul
tank, is to be condemned for this rea-
son, even if it contained the neces-
sary nutrients. Sweet food, regular
feeding and the milk heated to blood
temperature will go far toward keep
ing the calf healthy.

MECKLENBURG CROPS.
Condition Will Fall Short of Last
Year Between 3 and 8 Per Cent

Especial to News and Observer
Charlotte, N. c., Aug. Ito state
the chief characteristics of the cotton
crop of Mecklenburg and adjacent
counties for this. the first week of
the closing month when cotton is
made can we'll be summarized in
q few WOrdS-rains without end,
grass racing with the cotton for first
place, and the general hope yet left
that August weather will undo and
increase the crop which suffered much
by July's heavy ain and unfavorable
seasons.
Yet despite all this, and with the
probability Of a short crop as com
pared with last year, there are many
spots in Mecklenburg, which have
been passed over while other sections
were being drenched, and which got
rain when other sections were being
unduly sparched and the fruit injured
1t is hardly believed that with the
ten to twenty days late start the crop
had, n the too heavy rains of July
and these first days of August, that
the crop will come within three t.
eight per cent. of last years average,
which for this county means a short
age of from one to thr'"
thousand bales difference, or in money
at II cents, a maximum loss Of $50
600 to the county, possible, though
not probable, to this maximum extent.
1t is now the chief study Of the
M~ecklenburg farmer to watch and
wait for the warm sunshiny days and
to speculate upon the probability and
extent of h cotton that will be
made during this month, for there
still remains the undisputed posi-
bility hat the work of the weather
in August nay undo much that has
been achieved, and add to the seneT-
ally existing though not great decrease
in the prospective crop of the new
cotton season.
1t is declared here that the high
prices of the past three or -four weeks,
when cotton has ranged from 11.50
to 1880 cents, have brought out from
its hiding place, all of the cotton
stored away. and that today it is Diff
fcult to locate any cotton Of this class
anywhere, unless some few hundred
bales are stored in the numerous ware
houses and Outhouses of the farn'rS
The most optimistic aspect of the SIT
uation is the strong belief that cotton
will not fall below II to II cents with
the opening of the new crop. when
will mean millions to the farmers.

With the tariff question now out of the
way. they look for an increasing de-
mand for yarns: and that soon the
price Of yarn will be in accord with
the price Of cotton, instead of on the
low parity at which it has been SELL
ing for some time past Such is the
statement given to newspaper men. It
was learned today hat there was a
strong sentiment among some of the
members to close the mills for a period
of time or to curtail the product in
some way by working only part of the
time. It has been earned, though not
Officially, that as a result of the meet
ing the members have decided to cur
tail the product for awhile, and that
they are waiting before announcing
their decision until certain arrange
ments can be completed. The mem
bers seemed we'll pleased with the re-
suit of the session this afternoon, SO
they must evidently see better times
ahead. They say that yarn has been
moving very slowly and at very low
prices for some time, compared with
the price Of cotton. and it is thought
they will curtail products until the
supply on hand is used up or partly SO
at least. There were between 20 and
80 manufacturers present.

One of the most serious mistakes
made by or~chardists is that. of employ
ing cheap laborers to assist in hand
ling the fruit Handling fruit is I'M
portant and the laborers should under
stand the Importance Of their work.
Trees may be injured and fruit dam
aged by careless pickers. After the
fruit is picked it must be carefully
handled while it is being graded and
packed.
The consumers demand uniform
fruit and uniform sized packages and
unless we meet their demands we
must give up our markets to the men
who conduct their business on bust
ness principles.
1t is a sad commentary upon the
wisdom Of our commercial fruit grow
ers when they allow the owe and
shippers Of fruit 5000 miles away to
drive them out of their home mar
ket, but nevertheless hat is the prOpO-
sition that we are up against at the
present time. What we need is more
careful grading and packing and bet
ter cooperation among both growers

THE MEALY BUG AND SCALE.

Sometimes we get plants from the
florist on which this pest has estab-
lished itself, and in this way other
plants in the collection become in
fected.
Another name for the mealy bug is
cotton aphis, and this is much the
most appropriate name, for the crea-
lures resemble a bit Of cotton more
than anything else.
Indeed, if one has never seen this
enemy of plant life he would not be
likely to suspect that the bit of down
showing here and there on the plant
mostly in the axil of the leaf. or some
other place in which he can stow him
self away snugly-harbored a living
organism.
But stir the cQttony mas up a little
and you will discover life in it-life
to your plants by sucking the sap
from them. If let alone the plant
soon becomes covered with cottony
tufts, under which the enemy turks
to do his deadly work.
Fight the mealy bug pest with an
emulsion prepared as follows:
A good white soap, melted, one
pound; kerosene, one teacupful.
While the soap is hot pour in the
Kerosene. A union will take place.
Use of this emulsion one part to ten
parts water.
spray the plants aIIoCloO very ln0T-
oughly, taking great pains to get the
mixture into every nook and crevice
where the mealy bug has seen fit to
establish himself. This emulsion can
be kept indefinitely in closely corked
bottles.
This same emulsion is of great value
in the treatment of scale. which is
often found palms, o~leanders n
other thick-leaved plants. Use one
part of the soap-and-kerosene mixture
to six uparts water. and wash the
to six parts water, and with it, rubbing
them well with a, soft cloth to dis
lodge the scale after the application
has been made.

CLAY SOILS.

This type of soil can be very mark
edly and profitably improved by the
use of liberal applications of ground
limestone, preferably at least four or
five tons to the acre, and by the grow
ing of legume crops, provided these
crops are in large part returned to the
soil by blowing under or at least in
the form of manure.
It Should be kept in mind that one
ton of dry clover hay or Of dry COW
pea hay if plowed under directly will
add about three times as NAH or
ganic matter to the soil as will be re-
covered in the manure that can be
made from the same amount of

HOW TO CURE CLOVER
The day Crop With a Minimum of
Waste.

By Professor G. w. Gowel, Maine
Agricultural Station.
The practice of the Maine Agricul-
tural Experiment Station in curing
Glove. is to NOV it when there IS a
prospect of dry weather for a couple of
days n when It is free from water
or dew and let it lie ITS cut that day,
or, if it has wilted somewhat on the
surface, turn it by hand or tedder just
before night.
is turned or teddered the second day
and again toward noon.
In the afternoon of the secOnd dI
it is put into cocks about five feet
high. Ordinarily it is wilted at this
time, but if the weather has turned
dark or the clover is very heavy por-
tons of it are liable to be unwilted. in
which case the cocks are mad
smaller.
The cocks are made by using small
fOrkfuls flattened out SO hat it will
come off in layers when handled again.
AS it cures it settles, and unless the
cocks are high in proportion to their
width they will flatten out, which is
wrong.
The walls are kept perpendicular
three-fourths of the way up and then
gradually drawn in. Much time need
not be consumed in making the
punches, as it is quickly done.
oIS COuuillOH Is
clover must go into the cock free
FROM ain or dew. It can be safely
cooked when containing lots OF water
from it's own juices, but O when
even a little moist from water.
We allow it to stand in cock three
or four days, or longer, before dis
turbing it. On a day in which the air
is dry we open up the punches so that
the air can draw through them, and
usually after about two hours expo
sure the hay is ready to draw to the
barn. It is not necessary to tear it
apart and wear it out, as it readily
parts with it's own moisture, which is
chiefly near the center and the bot
tom Of the punches.
If rain falls while the clover is in
the bunch it Toes not wet it deeply
after the punches have beer made for
g, few hours When rain comes we let
the punches alone and h water dries
out of itself When sound weather
comes again.
To successfully cure clover or other
fodder plants in this way it is essen
tial to let the cocks alone and allow
them to cure and dry out undisturbed.-
Glover thus cured and aired out Just
before putting into the barn does not
burn in the NOW or come out dusty.
In midwinter a handful from the NOW
can be twisted into a knot
breaking the stocks or %wringing off
the leaves.
We also cure green oats and peas in
the same way. Out of ~thirty-two tons
weighed into the barn one year and
fed out in the winter all Of The oats
made from it blythe cattle were col
lected m saved in one stack.
This method of curing succeeds in
ordinary weather. Of course heavy,
prolonged ain mean defeat to this
or any system unless the punches are
covered with cloth or fiber caps.
