Interesting Farm Notes.

The farm separator means a mini
mum of labor with a maximum Of pro-
fit.
Rats and mice will leave premises
in which Chord of lime is used as a
G~isinfectant.
There are 4,123, 900 mules in the
United States and they are worth
about $119 each.
The stalks of corn left after remov-
ing the ears for canning purposes
make good silage.
Irrigation has been practiced in
Spain nearly a century, the first canal
having been begun in 1914.
Three pounds of cornmeal to the
gallon of skimmilk is about the right
proportion to push pigs along.
The natural place for a horse is in
the open air and # he is confined in a
stable it should be well ventilated.
The United States and Russia to-
gether own about one-half the horses
in the world, each having about 21,-
000, 900 head.
1t is poor economy to use cultiva-
tor teeth after they are worn short.
They are not effective in making the
finest mulch.
Calves for the first few months may
be fed shelled corn to advantage. At
ter that it should be ground, or con-
siderable waste will occur.
Keep in mind the perishable nature
of the product and do not hold eggs
a rising market without proper ia
cilities for storing them.
The market is full of preparations
irtended to put on the man who does
not read, and who neglects to post
himself on his own business.
Don't neglect to give your horses
plenty of water these warm days. Re-
member that the stomach of the horse
is small and needs frequent replen-
ishing.
A few weeds allowed to go to seed
will cause extra work next year. 1t
will pay to make an extra effort to re-
nov them before they SOW a new crop
of seed.
An abundant supply Of soil moisture
is essential to full yields and frequent

Teaching Farmers the Value of Alfalfa

ACMNAlAu& E@EuAcES inc VuluO Vi A1I01Ia
One morning recently an education
a; automobile train started out from
Grand Rapids to make a farm-tO-farm
campaign in Kent county to tell every
farmer that alfalfa is the most remark
able forage crop and soil enricher
known to man, and to show them in
their own fields the exact methods to
be followed to meet local conditions.
The intention of the Agricultural Elk
tension Department of the Imterna-
tional Harvester Company. which has
the campaign in hand, is to make alfal-
IA as we'll and favorably known east
CT the Mississippi as it Is now in
Montana, Kansas and other Western
states. After the campaign in Kent
county, the automobile train visited
corn4belt counties in Michigan, Ohio
and Illinois. 1t was shown through
out the trip hat on the typical sand
and clay lands east of the Mississippi
alfalfa could be raised, yielding three
crops a season and averaging from
four to five tons to the acre; that it
could be grown at a cost of less than
S. a ton, and yet excel in feeding value,
as a milk producer, wheat bran costing
owe rton $40 a ton that it was twice
as cheap az corr in putting fat on hogs,
and yielding over twice as much per
acre as either red clover or timothy

Snffragettes Attack British Prime
Minister.

Elgin, Scot1and.-The British prime
minister was the object of an attack
this afternoon in which his chivalry
restrained him from adequately de-
tending himself. While he was golfing
with his daughter on the Lossiemouth
links, two stalwart suffragettes, who
quietly come up to the green, sprang
at Mr.: Asquith suddenly. They knock
cd off his hat, grabbed him by the
clothing and dragged him some dis
lance Owe the ground.
The prime minister bore his rough
treatment complacent1y and RETAINED
from using force to make them desist,
while they impaired to him their opin-
ion that he was a scoundrel and a past
master in the arts Of Annanias.

Gfngerly With Desire to Extend Him.
self When Forced.
Owing to bad shoeing and also many
ether causes many horses suffer with
contracted feet.
The heels are narrowed and the
horse steps g ngerly with a desire to
extend himself when forced to trot or
gallop.
The writer is now using a horse
t~wenty-one years old, and when / fiji st
drove him in December last saw that
lie experienced great difficulty in ex-
tending himself and especially on
rough or stony roads.
He was shod with heel-calks on the
front as we'll as the hind feet, and it
vas very ~perceptible that the heels
of his front feet were too narrow.
After three unsuccessful trials with
regular blacksmiths the horse was ex-
amined by a competent veterinary sur
geon who pronounced his trouble to be
contracted heels.
He had them shod perfectly level in
front, springs were placed in between
the back of his shoes to keep the heels
spread, and piece of sole leather was
tackled across the hollow of the hoof
below the hoof and shoes to protect the
sole of the foot and break the jar of
travelling on rough and stony places.
About onc or twice a week a hoof
ointment consisting of n pint of
n~eatsfoot oil with two tablesponfuls of
oil of tar was applied On the outside
Of the front feet with a soft rag, and
then, raising the edge of the leather,
a little vas poured i've the sole of the
foot and a few drops in the heel cleft.
= Since the last shoeing and following
the treatment described, the horse has
improved wonderfully in his road work
and rarely fiinches, even going at a 12
raile an hour clip.

YOn Can Have a Pretty Home II Ycu
Can't Have q Fine One.

Perhaps you can't have ga fine
house" to live in. says the Progressive
Farmer, but you a have a pretty one.
To begin with, we suspect you can
paint it, even if you do think you cant
afford" to do so. And a painted farm
house will give you a new distinction
in your neighborhood, and will be a,
mark of progress your other neighbors
may follow. re-
Then, arrange to plant some shrubs
and some bulbs of o~ld-fashioned flow

err climates would pay heavily to have

from a nursery.
There is indeed no excuse for any
body not having a pretty home, no
matter how humble it is. We have
seen Negro cabins so beautifully kept
as to be more attractive to the eye
than some $4,000 homes we have
seen The simple morning-glory and
plenty of cheap whitewash will make
any place look beautiful if the grounds
and walks are we'll kept. In this con-
Cection, we reprint again the famous
Government recipe for whitewash
and would suggest that every reader
cut it out and put it away in his Bible
for reference-right between the Old
and New Testaments where it can be
easily located.
But before putting it there, why not
gat busy with it and 'whitewash all the
o~utbuildings on your. place-and if you
can't paint your house, why, white
wash it also? Now that you have laid
by your crops, the best work you can
do is to beautify your home. The
whitewash receipt follows:
'To make the so-ca1led, Govern
ment ~whitewash,' Stake a half
bushel of lime with boiling water.
Cover during the operation to keep
in the steam. Strain the liquid

together with three pounds of rice,
pounded fine and boiled to a paste,
and a half pound of Spanish whit
ing. Then place the compound in
a small kettle, place this kettle
into a larger one containing water
and bring to a boil. When the
substance begins to bubble, re-
move it from the fire and add five
gallons of boiling water. Cover
1t up and let stand for a few days.
When wished for use, reheat and
apply while hot.

EXHIBITORS ARE URGED
TO MAKE EARLY ENTRIES.

w. N. @. Fair is Receiving Many En-.
tries From all Parts of Western
North CarOlina-Large Attendance
and Representative Exhibition.
Reports from nearly all parts of
western North CaroEna indicate that
the fair to be held at Asheville, Octo-
Der 7-l9y inclusive, will be by far larger
in many respects than the two pre-
viaus mes of the Western Carolina
Fairs association.
By reason of a number of new and
crcwd-drawing features adopted this
year and the interest that has been
shown in them by persons in all parts
of the twenty-five counties embraced
in the fair zone, the management of
the fair feels justified in expecting a
record breaking attendance and is di-
Tecting considerable attention to the
question of exhibits with the view to
having attractive displays from all sec
tons and thereby make the fair more
representative than formerly OF the
many important Interests of Western
North Carolina.
The entry books have been opened
and while numerous entries are being
received from various sources much
earlier than in former years, the esere-
rotary of the fair is urging prospective
exR bitors to make their entries as
early as possible.
The Fair association announces that
the Southern railway will return all
exhibits free of charge to the exhibitor
in case of no change in the ownership
of such exh bits. This arrangement
together with the policy of the Fair as
ISOLATION to require no entry fee on
exhibits entered for premium, except in
the live stock departments, will be the
means, it IS believed, Of inducing a
large number of people to advanta-
gGously display their products before
the people of Western North Carolina
and the hundreds of visitors from
ether states.

Fertility of the Farm.

When hay and grain are sold off the
farm, there is'a rapid loss in soil fer
fifty. When products are marketed in
the form of milk or meat the loss is
materially less. The fertilizing values

Labor Day is Quietly Spent In Hender:
SOnViUe.

September Fl rst which in many
places is the date for a great cele-
bration and in some places the date
for roiting and disturbance, passed off
in Hendersonville a IS quietly as a sum-
mer sabbath. The postof1ce and ma
tional banks observed the day by clos
ing the rIdoors to business and quite Z
number of people IN various walks of
life left off work during the afternoon
and spent it quietly at Laurel Park
or at their homes. There was a we'll
attended clay pigeon shoot at the park
in the afternoon, but aside from this
there was no public demonstration of
any kind.

Princess Christian, aunt of King

Princess Christian to cease selling the

perfect right to do so and refuses to
