Dairying Gonseryes Soil Fertility.

1t has been ascertained that ap.
proximately $8.S5 worth of fertil-
ity is removed from the soil with
the sale of every ton of wheat,
while with every ton of corn sold.
approximately Sc. so worth of fer
tility Is lost to the soil; but in
the case of dairying, where butter
is made and where all of the by
products are fed to the pigs and
calves, it is found that only 36
cents worth of fertility is removed
with each ton of butter sold. The
commercial value of a ton of
wheat at Is cents a bushel is ap-
proximately $24,75. The COM
mercial value of a ton of butter at
25 cents a pound is $500. For
each 800 worth Of wheat that is
sold from the soil $3.50 worth of
fertility is taken off the farm,
but for every $100 worth of but

Arranging TO Get Postal Savings Banks
Under Way.

The initial step toward the
formation of the new postal saw
ings bank system was taken last
week in Washington. Under the
law the Postmaster General, Sec
rotary of the Treasury MaoVeagh
and Attorney General Wicker
sham constitute the trustees.
Theodore l., Weed, chief clerk of
tho Postoffice Department., was
elected secretary to the board. A
committee was eelected from the
employees of the Postofice Depart
ment to arrange the plans and
methods by which the system
will be operated. The COM
mittes will commence work
at once and several months
will be required for tie formation
of plans, the preparation OF blank
forms of records, stamps, regula-
tions, instructions and deposit
checks.
Many letters have been received
from postmasters asking that
their Offices have such banks add
ed at once, and many banks have
offered to become repositories of
postal savings funds. 1t will be
some months, however, before the
trustees can definitely consider
the designation of repositories or
the actual tablishment of banks.

YOUNG MAN BROWNS IN YADKIN,
Attempts to Swim Across Near BrIngIe's
Ferry but is Seized with Cramp,

John Baker, young man of
Summersett, KY, and an en-
ployee at camp, near the river,
of construction force of the
Southbound railway, lost his life,
last Wednesday evening, in an
attempt to swim the Yadkin near
Bringle's ferry. Mr.. Baker in
company with Reuben Carter, of
Providence Township, were on
the Davidson side of the river,
but had no boat with which to
make the crossing, 50 Mr.. Baker
proposed swimming across the
river and secure a boat for his
companions. It is said that he
was warned of the danger, but
having faith in his ability as a
swimmer did. not heed the warn
ing and proceeded to make the
attempt. He got about half way
across and was noticed to struggle
and sink, but being far beyond
reach his companions were unable
to render him assistance, so the
water claimed him for the realms
of eternity. Efovts were made
to recover the body, but without
success until Friday. The re-
mains were turned over to G. W.
Wright's undertaking department.
His father, Chas. Baker. of Sum-
mersette, KY, was notified, but
as yet nothing has been heard
from him.
The young mans remains were
inferred in the potters' field at
the County Home.
It is thought he was seized with
crmps, and the water being too
deep for him at that point, was
unable to avoid sinking.

Soil Feeding or Soil Robbery.

In every we'll considered system
of farming there is a constant re-
tern to the soil of the products
taken from it. Every good crop
rotation is planned with this idea
of returning to the soil on which
they grew just as much as possi-
BILE of the plant food removed by
the crops. And this means that
in good farm rotation the grow
ing of crops to feed to live stock
is made a leading feature.
If a farmer took away from the
land all that he grew upon it one
year with another, it would be
only a question of a few years un-
til any ordinary soil would De un-
able to yield enough to pay him
for the labor of making the crop.
On the other hand, by judicions
rotation, the feeding of live stock,
and the purchase of such com.
mercial fertilizers as are actually
needed, he may continue to build
up his land and and at the same
grow upon it large crops every
year.-Raleigh IN. o. Progress

What Causes Malaria.

Perhaps there is no idea more
firmly fixed in the minds Of most
people than that malaria ia caused
by breathing the alr from swamps
or marshes. There is likely to be
malaria in swampy regions, but it
is due to other causes than the air
from these swamps. Malaria is
contracted only through the bites
cf mosquitoes by means of which
the mosquito is able to inject into
the blood of the patient small liv-
ing bodies present in the saliva.
These living bodies are minute
animals which when injected into
the blood multiply rapidly, pro-
ducing disease symptoms which the
medical man is able to recognize
aud has termed malaria. Mrs

The Penalty For Malpractice.

Referring to the crime by which
Bessie Thomasson lost her life,
the Greensboro correspondent of
the Raleigh Nsws and Observer,
who is a lawyer, thinks tho Of
fence is first degree murder. He
says:
Without ella aboration or further
comment, the language of the law
hearing on such cases is here re-
produced from The Code of North
Carolina. and it certainly looks
like, when death results as the ef-
feet OF felony, it ls murder in
the first degree. for all abortion is
made felony.
Section 1919 of The Code,
reads: IF any person shall ad-
minister to any pregnant woman,
or prescribe for any such woman,
or advise and procure such woman
to take any medicine, drug or
anything whatsoever, with intent
thereby to procure the miscarriage
of any such woman, or to injure
or destroy such woman, or shall
use any instrument or application
for any of the above purposes, he
shall be guilty of felony. and
imprisoned in the Jail or States
prison for not less than one year
nor more than five years and be
fined at the discretion of the
court" "
Section 3631 of The Code reads:
IA murder which will be perpe-
trated by means OF poison, lying
in wait, imprisonment, starving,
torture, or by any other kind Of
wilful, deliberate and premedi-
ated killing, or which shall be COM
mlsted III the perpetration or at
tempt to perpetrate any arson,
rape. robbery, burglary or other
felony, shall be deemed to be
murder in the first degree and
shall be punished with death.''
"All other kinds of murder
shall be deemed murder in the
second degree and shall be pun
ished with imprisonment of not
less than two nor more than 80
years In the States prison"

Think the matter over!


WHAT DEMOCRATIC LEADERS THINK.
I'm my opinion the next House
will be Democratic by a majority
of between forty and fifty, said
Chairman 7. Lloyd, of the Ma
tlonal Democratic Congressional
committee. Mr. Lloyd is in close
touch with political conditions in
practically every congressional
district in the country, and is
generally reputed among his COL
leagues as more likely to be over.
cautious than over-confdent, if
anything, when making political
representations. Minority Lead
er Champ Clark predicts the Dem
ocratic majority in the next house
may possibly reach seventy. five.
REPUBLICAN ExTRAvAGANCE.
When the Republicans took
control of the Federal govern.
ment in 1861 the expenses of the
government we're abont $65, ,OO0,-
600 annually, nearly 81 900, ,O00,-
600 less than now. AS Hon.
James G.. Blaine says in his
twenty years in Congress: 1.-The
leaders of the Democratic party
had guarded the treasury with
unceasiug vigilance against every
attempt at extravaganza or cor
ruption." The result Of this
frugality and honesty was seen III
the annual expenditures. Econ
omy in public expenditures has
always boen a cardinal principle
of the Democratic Party. The
appropriations for the four years
of Cleveland's administration
we're less than one half the appro-
tions of the last four years of
Republican rule.
WHERE OUR MONEY GOES.
Figures showing the number Of
new offices created for Republi-
can politicians by the lait session
of Congress have not yet been

gress, however, created 26, ,944
new positions. For new Offices
created and salaries increased,
the Sixtieth Congress added to
the taxes paid by the people the
stupendous sum of $50, ,565, ,577.88.

The Legumes not yet Appreciated.

fact that on good laud we can

the tariff:
We believe that the tariff bill
recently enacted is in accord with
the Republican policy expressed
in it's last national platform.
We agree with President Taft that
it is the best tariff the Republican
party ever passed.
Said the Ohio Democrats:
"We demand a revision of the
present unjust and oppressive
tariff, reducing the rates so as to
lower the prices imposed on the
consumers.'

You were saying that the city men

and their schedules are altogether too
