state. This is the time of the year
that you should make preparation for
next winters grazing pastures. You
stock raisers and farmers look over
POUR farms and see if there is not
some field that you can make a winter
PASTURE out of. Possibly some of o
have fields that at present are worth
very little, yet with a few dollars
spent in cleaning off and sowing in
grass, you could make one of the most
profitable fields on the farm. The time
has come when every acre of land
rust be made to count.
One reason why Western North
Carolina is turning out fewer cattle
each year is because the stock raisers
aud farmers are not prepared to carry
the cattle through the winter. 1t IS
believed, however, that winter graz
ing will solve this problem.
When the stock raisers and farm
ers realize the great value of a win
ter pasture in carrying their cattle
through the winter, this part of the
state will be sending out, each year,
several thousand more cattle, at g
very little increased cost to the pro-
ducers.

WEEKLY PROCEEDINGS OF
THE CITY COMMISSIONERS.

The city commissioners in regular
weekly session Thursday night held
al interesting meeting before which
important matters were brought,
among them being a petition from
some of the property owners on Third
avenue, west, to pave the street from
Main to Washington. The petition
was referred to Business Manager
Justice, who will ascertain dimea-
sions, etc.
The property owners on this street
are Mrs. Russ, w. P. Whitmire, G. b.
Brooks, G. E. Wilson, u. G. Station, W.
H. Justus, J. W. Bailey and DR.. 9.
Few, the majority of whom are under
stood to have signed the petition.
The question of paving the street has
been talked for the last few years,
hut for some reason improvement
was delayed. 1t is estimated that the
work will cost in the neighborhood of
5 5000.
Residents of Seventh avenue, wesE.
petitioned the board to lay a cement
sidewalk on the north side of the
street. The petition was referred to
the business manager with instruc-
lions to get measurements, etc.
On recommendation of Mayor Shep-
herd, chairman of the cemetery CON-
mittee, the board voted to build 6
house for the keeper of the cemetery
at an approximate cost of $500.
By reason of the large amount OF
street work needing attention the COM
n,issioners decided to relieve Business
Manager G. w. Justice from all street
duty except that of Fifth avenue
where paving is being done. Police
Ernest Thompson, who was formerly
in charge of the street working force,
was given oversight of all street
work except that on Fifth avenue, He
will continue to be clothed with the
authority of a policeman but will not
he on active police duty. He will
work under the instructions of the
street committee.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS AT
HAYWOOD co. STOCK STATION.
Government Demonstrates How Stock
Raisers Can Probably Keep Cat
tie Over Winter.
Canton Observer

No feature of the experimental
work now being conducted on the T.
L. Gwyn farm at Springdale, by the
government, is of greater Importance
to the Western section of the state
than the n being conducted with a
lo* of IL steers that have been winter
cd on grass alone.
This experiment, according to the
report given out by Mr.. Peden, the
director in charge, clearly demon
strates that winter grazing is equally
cs profitable, if not more so, than
summer grazing, and what has been
cone in this case on a small scale is
equally practicable on a large one,
and would mean that thousands of
acres of cut over timber lands now
idle in the mountain section could be
turned into cattle ranges that would
put out thousands of cattle annually.
The cattle used in this experiment
were IL head of average two year old

acres of land recently cleared of tipS
her and set in orchard grass. 1t was
cove land, fairly we'll protected and
of average fertility, had been cultiva-
ted two years in corn and then sowed
in orchard grass, with some timothy.
This land was not grazed at all dur
ing the past summer and fall, but
about Is tons of hay was cut from 1t
during the summer. The cattle
were turned on this pasture after the
grass they had been grazed on during
the summer had given out, and were
carried through the entire winter at
no expense for feed, except seven days
during snow. They showed steady
gains from the time they were turn
ed into this winter pasture and were
in better condition during the whole
winter than barn wintered cattle. The
acreage in this al per steer was
even less than is ordinarily allowed
for grazing a steer during the sun-
mer months.
It Is interesting as we'll as valuable
to study the records Of the winter.
grazed cattle and compare them to
the records of the cattle that were fed
in the barn, the cattle that were win
ter grazed made gains, while those fed
| nthe barns made losses. The barn
fed cattle were heavier to begin vita,
and on the various kinds of feed, have
cost, per month, from $1.4O to $2.25'
per steer, and they have lost from 30
to rs pounds per steer, during the
winter. The winter grazed cattle
on the other hand have cost very lit
tie and are heavier than they were
last fall.
It is hoped that a great many of the
stock raisers and farmers Of this Sec
ton of the state will see the value tc
them of this experiment that has been
made. What has been done at Spring
dale Experiment Station can be done

to make water connections where they
have surface closets. The city au-
thorities are determined to enforce
this law to the letter since there is
considerable complaint in the city
with reference to dry closets.
The board decided to have another
cleaning up day, the date OF which
will be made known to. the business

An effort will be made to have a gen
eral cleaning up.

The Great Men of History
Described as Vividly as
Characters of Today
One of the Charms of Larned's
History

History without the human figure
would be as lonely as a treeless land
scape, and Larned gives color and life
to his wonderful world history by his
vivid portraitures of the great men of
each of his six historic epochs. His
character sketches clothe the dry
bones with flesh and blood-and life
itself pulsates in his pages. THE
great men of the past have been Sc
lected by the severest of all Judges
Time!"-says Emerson-and Larned
presents them at the bar of Time with
stern impartiality that commands
the admiration and respect of all
scholarship. This freedom from bias
and prejudice is what makes Larned's S
History of the World the greatest work
of its kind ever written. This paper
had this in view when it first Joined
the syndicate of newspapers that are
Offering 1t to their readers almost as a
gift, and its reception by the general
public has been so cordial and en-
phatic that there is now no doubt that
this great five-volume history fills a
want that is universal. Those of our
readers no have not yet acted on
the advice so often printed in this
paper are again urged to lose no time
in clipping the history coupons ap-
pearing in each issue.

State Will Aid in Paving
PenbroOk Main Street
SfcciaI to The Telegraph

Penbrook, Pa, Oct. 3.-After years
Of waiting and disappintments Main
streets of this town will at last be
paved, the members of the highway
committee receiving the assurance
from Commissioner E. NJ. Bigelow late
yesterday that the State Highway De-
partment would share equally the cost
of paving the street The cost for the
work will amount to nearly $4,000,
of which the State pays one-half for
the actual cost of paving the street.
The borough must pay for the curb
ing, which it has been virtually de-
cided shall be of reinforced concrete,
while the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany will pay for the surface between
and nine inches on either side of the
tracks. Work will be started in April.
The stretch to be paved runs the
whole length of the borough and is
nearly 5000 feet long. Property own
RS are counting on a greatly increased
valuation to Main street property as
result of the paving.

Use Care in Choice
of Selecting Males
For Breeding Purposes

Care should be exercised when Sc
lecting the males that are to head the
various breeding pens. If there are
pens that can be mated to advantage
with a male that may be slightly diff
ferent in build, do not hesitate to do
it, for many times the deficiencies
of flock may be eradicated in an
other generation by this kind of work.
1t may be that one pen is not quite
up to standard weight and yet they
must be retained as breeders on ac-
count of shortage in the number
OF females available; with these birds
place a male that is well up to and
even over standard weight. Select
males that are of good shape, style
and color, and have bright, alert eyes.
The health of the male is very i'm
portant and one that shows any sus-
picion of an ailment of any kind and
one that has ever been afflicted with
a contagious disease, should have no
place in the breeding pen.
In all work of the poultry plant in
connection with the birds, be careful
as to this matter of selection. Keep
birds at their best and let the inferior
ones go as soon as possible. 1t pays
to weed out from time to time as de-
fects are noted, thus keeping the en-
tire flock up to a high standard of
quality.

PURE BRED POULTRY
HAS REAL VALUES
Barred Plymouth Rock Seems to
Be Most Popular Breed
Among Farmers

The standard weights of the popular
general-purpose breeds of poultry are
as follows: Plymouth Rocks, six va
rieties, hen, II poundss cock, 9h
pounds. Wyandottes, eight varieties,
hen, 6h pounds; cock, Ss pounds.
Orpingtons, three varieties, hen, s
pounds; cock, 10 pounds. Rhode Is
land Reds, two varieties, hen, 6h
pounds; cock, S1s pounds.
These are the breeds best suited
for the general farm; kept pure they
would give the farmer a more uniform
and more profitable product. The
value of pure bred poultry has not
been realized to as great an extent by
the farmers as it should be. The bulk
of the poultry kept on the farms are
what are commonly known as mon
grel or scrub stock. When any breed
ing is apparent, Barred Plymouth
Rock and Leghorn characteristics pre-
dominate. A small proportion of the
farmers, however, do keep some pure
bred poultry and with these farmers
the breed most popular is Barred Ply
mouth Rock.
Improvement in the farm flock is
usually sought by introducing new
blood every two or three years in the
form Of new male bird generally of
different breed each time. About
the only visible effect of this spas
modic scheme is to add vet greater
dissimilarity to the already wonder
fully variegated flock. If the farmer
would carefully select ten or twelve of
his best females each year and mate
them with a pure-bred male which
of the females, adhering always to
the same breed, he would in the
course of a few years make u marked
improvement in his flock.

HENS FOR
HARD SHELLED EGGS
Mineral Elements Must Not Be
Lacking to Produce
Strong Shells

The feeding of hens for the produc-
ton of hard shelled eggs, not easily
breakable in handling, is possible and
demands attention. Shells vary greatly
in strength. A strong, heavy shell is
not nearly so likely to be broken by
the jars, jolts and rough handling
incident to ordinary marketing, as
weak one.
Chemical analyses show that the
shell of the egg is largely carbonate
of lime, but that 1t also contains car
Donate of magnesia, mineral phos-
phate and some organic matter. If
strong shells are to be produced, the
mineral elements must not be lacking.
Grains that are ordinarily fed do not
contain these mineral elements in suf-
ficient proportions, and an additional
and separate supply is necessary. For
tunately, these mineral elements are
available in much cheaper forms than
in grains. Lime is the principal in
gredient of oyster shells, which may
be procured for about S12 per ton.
Iron, magnesia and often phosphorous
in many kinds of artificial grit, may be
procured for about the same price,
while these elements in grain would
cost at least double these figures.
Bone meal contains PHOSPHORUS in
appreciable amounts, besides lime.
magnesia, ETC., and while expensive it
is effective in giving the shell an even
ness and flneness of texture which
adds much to its strength. 1t is,
therefore, often used as an ingredient
for dry mashes for laying flocks,
usually in amount varying from three
to five per cent.
Eggs that won't break give the
peultryman greater profits than eggs
tfet will break. Make your hens lay
the nonbreakable kind.
