Turner'S Almanac Is NOW Ready

The 1915 Turners-Enniss North
Carolina Almanac has just come
from the press. The book appears
in its seventy-eighth year more COM
plete and valuable than ever before.
For several generations this book
has been the standard publication of
the kind in this state, maintaining
favored place by the fres!de in
great many homes.
This is the first publication con-
taning a complete court calendar
for the entire state and it is invalu-
able to lawye s. Full information is
gwen concerning the various depart
ments Of the state Government with
names Of officials and employees with
the salaries they are paid. There is
a roster of 1915 General Assembly.
Statistics and data concerning the
Europeon war are among the new
features. This is one of the few AL
manacs in the country which is able
to maintain the standard price Of
ten cents, most of other publications
being given away free by advertis
ers. The book has been sold steadl
ly since 1897, its usefulness having
increased with it's age. The Almanac
is sold in Scotland Neck by E. T
Whitehead Company.

Famous Repartee

Recently we have been confesslng
to a liking for special repartees,
says Harper's Weekly. Here are
few more than meet our personal
notion of that kind of wit:
When Snyder Smith was advised
to have his portrait painted by Lam
deer. he asked:
'Is thy servant a dog that he
should do this thing?"
The same Sydney Smith, who you
will remember, was a clergyman,
was in an argument. His opponent,
provoked, cried out:
eff had a son who was an idiot l
would make him a parson.
Your father" replied Smith,
"was of different opinion.
A story is told of Henry Clay that
is also applied in earlier history to a
member of Parliament. A lorg
winded member Of Congress SAID:
"You, sir, speak for the present
generation, but | speak for poster
ity."
1T seems" replied Clay, "you
are resolved to speak until your aud
ience arrives"
Also in this connection the follow.
ing comes to mind:

RAISE MORE HOGS and
NOT SO MUCH COTTON
The Government Of The United States
Advises The Farmers to Give More
Attention to Live Stock.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Four
measures are being recommended
by the United States Department of
Agriculture to the farmers of the
South in order to remedy the condi-
tions created by the collapse Of the
cotton market. These are:
/. The reduction of expences by
the production of more food for the
family and more grain for the for
age for the live stock.
2. The substitution of other
money crops for part of the cotton
acreage.
3. The raising of more live stock.
4. The addition of humus to the
soil in order to make fertilizer less
expensive.
The first thing to be done, says
the Government specialist, is to plant
Winter crops to be used partly for
Winterl and Spring grazing, partly
for spring hay and grain, and partly
for cover crops to be turned back into
the soil for fertilizing purposes.
These crors should include oats for
grain, and oats, barley, or rye for
hay, and any one of these for Winter
and Spring for humus value. Al
though October and November are
the best months for planting these
crops in the cotton country the time
may be extended into the Winter.
The Winter crops should be followed
by Summer legumes such as cow
peas, soy beans. ETC. Fall and Winter
vegetables should be planted for
home use and for market.
Hogs are recommended for the best
form Of live stock to grow. Imme-
diate steps should be taken to in.
crease the profit from hogs and hog
products by the planting the crops
! for Winter and Spring grazing, to
to be followed by Summer and Fal
crops for the same purpose. Grow.
ers are also being warned to take
rigid precautions against hog chol-
era. If strict quarantine measure:
are adopted and if the animals
when treated, are inoccnlated with
anti-hog cholera serum, grower!
suffer little loss from this source.
To feed the hog in North Carolina
farmers will naturally have to giv'
up to pasture some of the land nov
devoted to corn and cotton. Dis
elimination should be used, howeve
in the choice of acres for each pur
pose. 1t is the poorer or roughe
