Farmers and pig raisers 10 not
always appreciate the value " green
feeds and succulent pastures for their
animals. Too often the hog is con-
sidered a scavenger and his ability to
use waste Is regarded as his chief
value. However well he serves this
purpose. he will pay we'll for good
care, feed and housing.
Forage crops are especially bene-
ncial to young growing animals. II
Is possible to grow them much more
prontably and successfully when
good green field OF palatable and nu-
tritious pasturage is provided. Expert
ments and practical farmers expert.
ences prove that gains In weight are
made at less cost on forage than In
the dry lot. Brood sows can be car
ried through the season on pasture at
less cost than when grain fields are en-.
urely depended upon. Foraging in
duces the animal to exercise and OBJ
tain fresh air, and these prevent dis
eases being contracted. and when the
animals are put In the fattening pen
their gains are unusually rapid and
profitable. The green feeds eaten are
OF much value Just to keep the pigs
digestive system In good condition and
the appetite keen.
The en9re hog herd can be run on
forage crops and will profit by this
method OF management. Younger ami
mails seem to derive the most benefit,
and fattening hogs the least. Herd
sows and the herd boar are benefited
by having green feeds II is a good
plan to have the brood SOW running on
green pasture at farrowing time, as
this Is conducive to a strong, healthy
litter OF pigs. She should be kept on
green forage from the time she far
rows. The young pigs will soon learn
TO eat, ana the exercise and the green
food In It's natural state will start them
along In good condition and tend to
keep them so.
The method OF feeding when on
pasture will necessarily vary accord

RETURN TO CHOCOLATE

AFTERNOON TEAS.
Better Than Coffee, and Women Have
Grown a Little Tired Of Tea-May
Be Served With Wheat Bis

Ten OF a dozen years ago chocolate
served with a dash OF whipped cream
was the great American beverage-as
far as afternoon teas. receptions and
bridge parties were concerned. Ev-
erybody served chocolate and In a
round OF afternoon calls one might
partake OF half dozen hospitable

beaten with a wooden spoon to thin
concoction made OF prepared cocoa
and hot water.
Women became a bit tired Of the
eternal chocolate after a while-and
also found that II was fattening. Then
afternoon tea with lemon. or a dash
OF rum, became the fashionable after.
noon drink. For the last few years,
since every housekeeper has yearned
to possess one OF the fascinating cop
per percolators that have such a cozy
hum--next best to the song OF a ket-
tie on the hearth-coffee has been
the beverage served in the late after
noon. But coffee, with sugar. cream
and sweet cakes. is quite as fsttening
as chocolate. and not nearly so nour-
ishing. In fact, a good many women
have been realizing lately that their
nerves" and attendant depression
and irritableness with children and
servants may be blamed on the strong
coffee and sweet cakes taken almost
every day Just before dinner time.
Chocolate, served with crisp. whole
wheat biscuit, or buttered muffins, is
becoming more and more popular, and
attractive new chocolate sets are ap-
pearing In the china departments.

GOOD METHOD TO
HATCH DUCK EGGS
Best to Use Chicken-Hens for the
Purpese-Be Careful Not to
0verfeed the Fowls.

Ducks eggs may be hatched In In
cubators. but It Is better to use large
chicken-hens when possible. II one
wishes to hatch ducklings very early
In the season. then the incubator Is
the only thing that will do the work.
Ducks scarcely ever get broody and
when they do. as rule the season Is
far advanced. Besides II Is poor pol
icy TO place eggs under a duck.
Don't keep duck eggs over week
after they are laid. The fresher they
are the better they will hatch. After
a duck egg is ten days old II is entirely
worthless so far as Matching is con-
cerned, They should be very carefully
handled, ss the albumen is much thin
ner than that of other eggs. This fact,
coupled with the age limit, accounts
for so many poor hatches; especially
where the eggs have been shipped
As soon as :he eggs are laid. II not
placed at once for Matching. they
should be carefully wrapped in paper
and turned every day. They should
be kept where the temperature Is
neither too ligh nor too low-about
tifty to sixty-five degrees f. Don't
keep eggs intended for Matching In n
damp cellar.
When ducks are laying their appe-
tie increases. but one must be care
full not to overfeed. II their food Is
not too highly concentrated and there
is plenty OF coarse grit and sand within
reach, there is little danger OF over
feeding. Three or four square meals
day will not hurt laying duck
When overfed they lay double-yolked
eggs.
Never give ducks buttermilk. or In
fact, any other kind OF milk. to drink.
1t may be used 10 moisten their feed,
however. Buttermilk. skimmilk and
"clabber" are all valuable In duck
feeding. but they should be used only
for moistening the feed and not as a
drink.

ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPA.
MES REFUSE TO PAY THE
AMOUNT OF PREMIUMS.
EXAMINATION OF BODY MADE
For Determining Whether Death of
Mr. Jacobs Was Caused from Auto
mobile Accident or from Natural
Causes.

The body Of B. e. Jacobs, who died
in this city in January, lew days aft
er being run down by an automobile,
was disinterr yesterday morning at
Waynesville for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the cause of death.
Mr.. Jacobs carried accident insur-
ance to the amount Of $1i,500 in three
companies, as follows: Eastern Cas-
ualty Co. $500; Pacific Casualty Co,
$4,000; Middleton Co., $4,000 and the
companies are now contesting pay
ment OF the policies on the grounds
that Jacobs died of natural causes
Mrs. Anita Laura Jacobs, the widow,
engaged Attorney h. e. Dart to rep
resent her in the matter and yester-
day the Eody was disinterred under
the direction OF Edo Miller, and an au-
topsy performed by DR.. r. f. Harris,
president Of the state board of health,
assisted by DR.. r. l.. Fox, who repre-
sented the insurance companies. in
the presence Of Attorney r. g. Dart
aud DR.. A. j, Gordon, OF Waynesyille,
representing Mrs. Jacobs, and Attor-
ney Jas. f, Madigan, of New York,
representing the insurance companies.
The physicians failed to determine
the cause of death at the autopsy, and
the viscera and brain were sent on to
Atlanta, where DR.. Harris will subject
them to chemical analysis before
making a report.
Following the accident in this city,
Mr.. Jacobs was attended by DR.. ]. A.
Butts and DIR. r.. H. Fox, Dr. Butts
returning certificate giving tetanus
as the cause OF death.
The insurance companies, 1t is un-
derstood, contend that the death cf
Mr.. Jacobs was not due to the acei-
dent, but was from natural causes,
and for that reason the accident poll
cies should not be paid.
Mr.. Jacobs, accompanied by his
wife, was returning to his home N
the Cypress mills, when the wagon
In which they were riding, was struck
by an automobile. Both the occupants
were thrown out and it was announced
at the time that the condition of Mr..
Jacobs was serious. Lock-jaw, it Is
claimed, set in as direct result OF
the accident, and this caused his
death. The insurance companies, it
seems, claim that had lock-jaw been
the cause Of his death he would have
lived for longer period than he did.
The case is quite an interesting one
and 1t Is more than probable that the
courts will be called upon to finally
determine whether or not the $17,500
OF accident insurance should be paid

Intermittent rumors regarding the
engagement have been current since
Secretary McAdoo was "a dinner guest

son and Secretary McAdoo had been
seen together at dances and other so

mors. There was no official confirm
alton or denial until the White House
announcement, and Washington ex-
poets the marriage to occur in June.
Twice in its history have weddings
taken place In the White House in the
late spring and early summer. Nellie
Grant was May bride there, and
Frances Folsom became the bride of
President Cleveland in early June.
