There were a good many thrillers
but only one real hair-raiser they

that makes them grab hold of some

was the descent of Sullivan's hill.
Anyway the pilot car went down
and there was nothing to do but go
down too. The thing was not to go
down too fast.
By setting the breaks until the
hind wheels refused to turn spoke
they managed to get down but once
or twice trembled on the verge of
the precipice and thought excitedly
of good old Redwood Falls.
Still Sullivan's hill faded away and

Planting Orchard Trees.

A good method is to- establish
base lines at right angles on say
the south and east sides of the
ground and measure accurately
the, distances and drive a peg ex-
actly where each tree is to stand.
A planting board is necessary.
Prior to removing the peg where
a tree is to stand place the board
on the ground, letting the central
notch inclose the peg. Stakes for
the purpose are pushed in the
ground through the holes at each
end of the board. The hole at one
end is large enough to permit OF
lifting that end of the board with.

Success With Alfalfa.

Washington, January 26.-The
opportunities for profit which the
raising Of alfalfa offers the farm
ers of the Southeast is indicated
by letters received by the Land
and Industrial Department of the
Southern Railway showing in
creased interest in the production
of alfalfa and highly profitable
results in widely separated dis
tricts.
Fort and Stone of Dunleith,
Washington county, Mississippi,
owners of a plantation in the Del
ia, reported that on % acres seed
ed in the fall of 1909 1858 tons
were produced at a cost of $685.

worth $500 per ton in the barn
though hay was selling from $40
90 to $4,000 per ton. AT this low
rating they received a profit of
$1.94O.00 on the. % acres, the hay
costing them only $3,47 per ton.
Reports from the Delta show that
about 80 farmers r now growing
alfalfa with success, all having
seeded their fields in the last three
or four years.

East Tennessee writes that he is
greatly pleased with results hav.

INTEREST TO OUR FARMER FRIENDS.
Poultry Notes.

You cannot get something for
nothing in the poultry business.
You must put something into the
hens if you expect them to lay
a full egg basket. If the hens have
/, not abundance of good range it
! will be necessary to feed them at
least twice daily In their yards
and houses.
Roupe is a dreaded winter dis
ease among poultry. The way to
prevent it is to have dry poultry
houses protected from severe
storms, and give the fowls plenty
of fresh air to breathe while on
the roosts, without draughts. Roup
is a contagious disease and when
one fowl contracts the disease re-
move her from the rest of the
flock.
And to feed the hens a well bal
anced ration. An exclusive vegeta-
BILE ration is almost sure to be too
low in protein, and animal matter
is rather too low in carbohydrates.
By feeding some green cut bone
with corn and other grains, the
ration will be well balanced.
1t has been said that a healthy,
dry hen cannot be frozen to death.
Her coat Of warm feathers pro-
tects her. For this reason it is Of
more Importance to have a dry
poultry house than a warm one.
Keep out rain and dampness, pro-
vide plenty of fresh air, and the
hens will fare well.-National
Daily.

Dairy Hints.

Tickle the cows palate and in.
crease production.
Study the whole problem from
abusiness stand point.
Test, weigh, weed out. The mar.
gin of profit allows no guess
work.
Study to control functions and
cooperate with the COW for bet
ter results.
Brains in the milk pail insures
quality, quantity and cleanliness.
More sunshine for the big pro.
ducers, more fresh air for the
whole herd.
No man can succeed by being
simply a machine capable of per
forming so much labor.

AM Agricultural Monstrosity.

Chatham has a variety of good
things; and among her other boun-
teous crops, the sweet potato is
not neglected. Some of the pota-
toes attain a mammoth size, as
this story recently told us will
bear witness: A man living near
Siler City cleared some "new
gound'' last year, sowed it in peas
and last summer planted pota-
toes. A rail fence was then built
around the patch to keep his pigs
out. In the fall when the patotoes
were manturing he went to the
patch and found the pigs within
doing great damage. He know that
the fence was built with the rails
close together and he was at a loss
to understand how the pigs en-
tered; so he began a careful exa-
mination of the fence. Very soon
the mystery was explained, for in
one corner of his patch a part of
the fence was raised to a height
of ten inches by a large object Gov
cred with vines and trash. He Sc
cured a hoe, dug aroud the OBJ
struction and there before his as
tonished gaze was not a log as he
expected, but a large potato that
had grown under the fence and as
it grew it raised the fence until
the opening was of sufficient size
to let the pigs in. In short, that
was some potato -Siler City

Notes on Swine FEEDING.

In the past pork made in the
South has cost too much, because
largely made on high-priceG corn
in a dry lot, and now we fear some.
Of our people are going to the
other extreme and are making it
on tee,ls as much too rich Ia pro-
TEN, for the best ctsulfs, as corn
is too rich in carbohydrates or
starch.
In other words, it is not best to
fatten the pigs on peanuts, cow
peas or soy beans alone. To bal
ance these feeds require some feed
rich in carbohydrates or starches
and sugars. Corn is probably the
best for this purpose, and good
hogs on peanuts, cowpeas or soy
beans will pay a good price :or a
small amount of corn.
For instance the proportion of
protein to carbohydrates and fats
required by fattening hogs s not
far. from 1 to 6 and it will be of
interest to note the proportions
which exist in the feeds named.
Soy beans-1 Of protein to Is
carbohydrates and fats. Cowpeas
IL to 81. Peanuts to 4. Corn
IL to 81.
It will be seen that these legu-
mes form a ration as much out of
balance as is the corn. They may
be cheaper and, therefore, the loss
in feeding these alone may not be
so great as when corn alone is fed,
but neither form a properly bal.
aned ration and neither should
be usedh alone. It is when sue
feeds are properly combined that
the largest and cheapest gains viii
be made. Don't waste feed alone
but use about one-fourth or one
third corn and the remainder Of
the ration these legumes gathered
by the hogs themselves, and the
pbest good feed by using their class
of results will be obtained.

Texas Tomatoes.

The Beaumont Enterprise re-
counts the good and bad part of
the Texas tomato, crop, and says:
During 1910 1900 carloads of
fresh tomatoes were marketed in
Texas, most of them being ship
ped to points in the north and
east. The tomatoes put $l,400,-
600 into the pockets of the farm
ersgwho produced them, with prac-
tically no extra cost of cultiva-
ton, as in most cases they are
planted with other winter crops,
thereby requiring very little ex.
ira work.
The one dark spot on this bright
agricultural picture, however, is
the fact that these tomatoes were
shipped to the canning factories
Of Maryland and other New Eng.
land states, only to be shipped
back again for consumption by
Texans, who have to pay the
freight both ways. With produc
ton Of over 100000 carloads Of
tomatoes alone, not to mention
thousands efecars. of other trucl
annually, and with cheap fuel il
abundance and all other requisi
ties for the building of factories
the shipping of our products II
other states to be canned is not.il
keeping with the spirit of progress
which ia manifested in other line
of Texas industry.

Hitching The Plow to the Engine

r. A. Subette, originally of
South Carolina, but now a planter
in Terrell county, g., is going to
make the farmers of that county
sit up and take notice.
He has bought a big Georgia
plantation and plans to do a large
part ofShis cultivation by machin-
cry.
He has secured a frst-class trac-
ton engine and a big gangplow.
and is going to turn them both
loose on his acres.
The ordinary method do not ap.
peal to him. He is going to run
his fran by modern methods
which include mechanical aids
to the limit.
The Constitution would like tc
see that policy imported into
every agricultural county il
Georgia.
Farming by machinery is com
monplace in the west and thu
southwest.
1t is not frequent in the states
of the Atlantic seaboard. But i
fought to be.
Such a policy saves time, en-
hances productivity, increase in
come, saves money, goes a long
way towards solving the vexed la
Dor problem.
Indeed, if all southern farmer
used the mechanical aids at thei
disposal, the unreliable negr,
farm laborer would be lessene'
as a southern menace.

ment will be a success.-Atlant

FEEDING NOTES.

The self feeder is not good fol
young pigs, as under five years
of age they will eat too much.
Every locality in the country
can produce a kind of feed cap
I able of balancing up the corn "a
ton.
The danger of over feeding in
the case of young pigs is always
inimical to maximum results.
Salt and air-slaked lime-a lit
tie more lime than salt, will act
favorably on the stomach of sheep
and assist in preventing bloat.
In my experience / have found
no food for dairy cows that gives
better satisfaction than ground
oats. The COW rarely tires of them.
They give a delicious flavor to the
milk and an aroma to the butter.
We should use considerable of
the milk of human kindness in car
ing for our dairy COWS.
House plants that are buggy and
shaggy and refuse to improve
should be thrown out. They r
an eyesore. Better demolish the
window garden than to mock ma
ture with the victims Of ignorance
or neglect.
1t is reported that near Green's
boro, Ind, a large vine in some
manner became inoculated with a
seeding or shoot from a peach
tree and last season grew a half
dozen well-formed small peaches.
Have no hesitation in dispos-
ing of the improbable cows. They
are a mistake. Let somebody else
have them. They may be good for
him-they certainly are not want
ed by you. Retain only the good
ones and make a start toward put
ting your business on a profitable,
money-making basis.
The old theory that potatoes
should be planted in the dark Of
the noon has been exploded by
the scientists of the Agricultural
Department. Investigation show
that the moon has no influence
whatever in the quality of the
crop.

A Stenoqrapher's Stumble,

A Judge in one of our middle west
states advertised for a stenographer
with experience in legal work. A num-
Der Of applicants called at his office
for the purpose Of making application
for the position. Each applicant was
given a trial to test her speed, accu-
racy, etc. Among the applicants was
a young lady whose anxiety to make
a good showing evidently unnerved
her. The judge dictated to her a few
sentences in legal language, one of
which was, "That would give him
time to complete the devastation of the
assets" The sentence as transcribed
by the young lady on the typewriter
read as follows: "That would give him

amused at her ludicrous blunder, the

They Passed About -. at
One Time In China.
In China, the first country in the
world credited with using banknotes,
certain skins We're so valuable that
they were accepted as cash and passed
from hand to hand in the same way
as banknotes are at the present day.
The negotiability of these skins arose
thus:
The Emperor Gu I'll, being in want
of money, gave his treasurer to under
stand that such a state of affairs
must not continue. At that time it
was customary for princes and court
iers on entering the royal presence to
cover their faces with a piece of skin.
Taking advantage of this custom, the
treasurer ordered 4 decree to be issued
forbidding the use of any other skins
for this purpose except those of n GER
tain white deer in the royal parks.
Immediately there was q demand for
pieces of these skins, which, being a
monopoly, We're sold at a high price
and the royal Golfers reflled. The
steady value of the skins thus secured
made them readily pass and acceptable
as an equivalent of coin of the realm.
