WINTER COVER CROPS.
Ten Thousand Farmers Wanted to
Form a Cover Crop Club.

The Farmers Cooperative Demon
StratiOn Work is asking for the names
and addresses of all farmers whom it
can induce to join a Cover Crop Club
1t wants the James of farmers who
have never grown a cover crop and of
those who will increase their acreage
of this crop. There are no fees or
dues attached to the work. All that
is asked in return for the assistance
rendered is hat the farmer give a
report of the crop. In counties where
there is a demonstration agent, appli-
cation should be made to him. In
other counties names should be sent
to the State agent at Raleigh. Be
sure to state the number of acres you
| to add and the kind Of crop
or crops which you wish to grow.
Instructions will be sent to all who
| apply for them.
Value of Cover Crops.
A few Of the valuable features OF
a cover crop may be named as fol-
lows:
1. 1t prevent loss Of soil fertility
| by washing. Lands hat lie bare dur
| ing the winter may lose more plant
food by teaching than is used by the
crop that Grows there during the
summer.
2. It furnishes grazing to stock at
a time when food OF all kinds is
scarce. 1t also produces health and
vigor in animals and keeps up a good
flow Of milk of dairy COWS. Any sue
cessful system of live stock produc-
ton is largely dependent upon winteT
as we'll as summer grazing.
3. If we ever establish an enduring
and prospecting agriculture in the
State we shall have to get humus
vegetable or organic matter) into
our soils. Growing a winter cover
crop is one Of the ways Of doing this.
All farmed lands should grow at least
two crops per year,-a sale crop and
a soil-fmprovement crop, whether
this is left on the land or first fed to
stock and then returned there. A de-
cline in soil fertility is not always due
to q lack Of nitrogen. potash or phOs-
phOric acid. 1t is often due to the
absence OF humus.
There are ten or twelve plants thai
are suitable for winter growing IN
North Carolina. One or more OF them
is adapted to the various soil types
and sections Of the State. We shall
be pleased TO enroll all farmers who
will help carry forward this import
ant movement.
Cordially yours,

All kinds of young fowls need

Give the poultry the nun of the

RUNNING WATER IN
. THE FARM HOUSE

! In writing of the great changes
which he made in his farm within
4 few years, a northwestern farm
er mentions one thing which
should interest every farmer. The
nan thus describes his milk house
and water tank:
"A water tank holding thirty
barrels has been mounted in the
tower of the windmill and pipes
laid to the house, barn and sheep
shed. Below this tank and over
ihe pump was built a stone milk
house. The tank was incorporat-
ed into the roof of this house as a
tower. To protect the tank against
freezing it was boarded in, leaving
an air space which was filled with

NO TROUBLE TO CHURN

An ingenious New Hampshire
farmer says he delivered fresh
butter to his daughter in a village
tive miles away in this manner:
When he leaves home he ties a
bucket of ripe cream under the
seat of his motorcycle and when
he arrives in town, the butter is
perfectly churned. All his daugh-
ter has to do is to put nj the salt
and work the butter, when it is
ready for use.

cut straw. The outside was paper
ed and shingled. This has proven
entirely satisfactory.
The walls of the milk house
were built of stone, taken from
the field, laid with their rounded
surfaces exposed, giving a very
pretty effect. The floor, with a
drain in the center, is cemented,
which makes it sanitary and easy
to keep clean. This house, which
is thus in direct connection with
the water supply, is used in sepa-
rating the cream and in churning.'
The above is a splendid conven-
fence for every one on the farm.
The fact that there is running wat
er in the house, makes bath room
convenienceS possible, and to say
nothing of the comfort and saw
ing of labor by having water in
the kitchen. We call the man who
thought up the scheme and carried
it to a successful conclusion, ar
ideal farmer. You can depend
upon it, he is a successful one:

pot in a crock and four or tive
times a week pours a quart of al
most boiling water in the crock:
She reports that often four and
five flowers bloom at the same

should be saved at home.

game for Princeton and in the eleventh

Smith. who pitched the full game for
the visitors, was found for thirteen hits.
hut Princeton changed pitchers three
times, and the superior work Of the
Tigers with the stick and on the bases
alone enabled them to pull hard earned
victory out Of the fire.
Laird started the ball rolling in the first
inning with a neat single on the first
ball pitched Worthington advanced him
a base and Pendleton's drive over second
base gave the Tigers run. The second
inning added another to Princeton's score.
While Columbia failed TO find Copeland

the first three innings.
The third saw more runs for the Tigers.

made eight hits between them, started
the fun with a single and triple. respec-
lively Reed reached first on a fielders

two more runs.
In the fourth the Columbia men woke

three more.
The pace was too hot for the young
Tiger pitcher when Columbia added run

the ninth, but stayed just long enough to
pass one man, when Wood rushed in TO
stem the tide.
With the score tied neither team could

of last Saturdays humiliating defeat at
the hands of Brown batted their way 10

The English team will said for the

thought likely that either Buckmaster
or Freake will make the trip. even ss

The final decision 10 retain Captain
Ritson and Captain Cheape on the
team is regarded in polo circles as an
act of wisdom. Both learned their
polo in India and have attained to the
topmost places in the rating lists.
The Duke Of Westminster, who is
financing the team, said before leav-
ing for Paris to-day: THE action that
has been finally taken as regards the
players of the team completely dis
pels the criticism made not long ago
that l urged Freake on the team
against Buckmaster's wishes. Criti
