HAS RElTERED THE STATE.

Replying to the criticism Of the News and
Observer upon an editorial in the Greenvile
Reflector in which that paper maintained that
prohibition Should Come Slowly" that ut
should be allowed to take it's time, and the peo
pie will gradually be educated up to it, that
paper somewhat clarifies its position by saying
concerning prohibition, I'VE meant for it to
come by Degrees as it is coming AS to that
we are agreed, but add to that position by
saying that everything possible should be done
by the friends Of prohibition to hasten its
coming.
But here are some things in the Reflector
reply which we do not understand. Concerning
remark upon its editorial it says that we
failed to prove to it that absolute prohibition
will make for better conditons," yet later on in
its reply it answers it's objections and shows
conditions will be better it says:
When whskey has been banished from
the United States, then shall see a great
era of progress. We shall the moral
standards of the people raised and shall
see great progress made in science but the
people, whole, do not look upon it like
that
Yet curious is this from the Reflector:
els it within the power Of State for and by the
people to say that shall not have whiskey or
is it not better let the inevitable work out it's
own destiny?" The answer is that q State is
supreme in the way it handles the whiskey
question within it's borders and the .'inevitable.
will only come through the action taken st the
ballot box or in the acts of it's law making BODY
AS Co its declaration that it did not believe
the work OF Anti-Saloon Leagues have ever ac-
complished much" and that they have piled up
disasters in other places the Reflector with
draws its wholesale condemnation, but says that

WINDBREAK IN AN ORCHARD
Ono Great Drawback 10 That Unless
Watched Closely Breeding Place
10 Afforded Inaeets.
(By L. Army. Cornell University

(By L. Army. Cornell University
The important point is to place the
tree in such a place that it will have
the advantage of high altitude, which
means good air drainage, but at the
same time that it will not be exposed
to high winds. which means quick
evaporation. The best means of ac-
complishing this is to provide the
orchard with q windbreak.
Windbreaks should be planted with
care and judgment. since they often
become hindrance instead of a help
in places where they are wrongly
planted. The one great drawback to
them is the fact that unless watched
very closely they may become breed
ing place for dangerous insects; but
II care is exercised in this direction
the good effects of them will over
balance this point. That is. If the
orchard is regularly and intelligently
sprayed, the insect problem is not an
economically serious one.
Windbreaks should contain both
evergreen anf deciduous trees. The
object is not to stop the wind. since
that would be almost as harmful as
having too much, but 1t Is simply to
check it SO that the. force will be
broken by the time 1t reaches the
trees. To this end the evergreens will
check the wind during the winter and
the deciduous ones will help during
the summer. Aside from this point
the break made from the mixed types
Of tree will be more efficient than the
one composed of all evergreens. al
though the latter will check the winds
both during winter and summer.
The spruces are probably the most
common evergreen trees that are used
for this purpose. because they are com
paratively quick growers and make q
good growth on wide range of soils
Among the deciduous trees the naples
and the birches lead, and both do well
under varying conditions. The trees
are planted closer at first than they
are wanted. SO that an immediate ef
feet can be gotten. and as soon as they
begin to grow or SO make the breal
too dense, enough are taken out sc
that the break will not be barrier.
When properly placed. the wind
break can be one of the greatest ls
sets the fruit grower can have. This
fact is Just being realized. and has
been brought to light by the large
amount Of injury incident 10 exposed
and unprotected orchard sites.

WATERING COWS IN WINTER
When Animal Is Compelled to
Drink From Hole Cut In Ice.

Cows should never be turned out in
very cold weather and forced to go to
a pond or creek for water. The prac-
tice is costly one The extra feed re-
quired to counteract the effect of the
chill would soon pay for getting sup
ply of water in the barn. When cows
are turned out on cold days, often hav-
ing to drink from hole cut through
the ice, they will not drink all they
need. but only enough to satisfy the
immediate thirst The exceptionally
cold water and even the colder atmos-
phere chills them to the bone and they
will hurry back to the barn. Often
they will not go near the water with
out being driven.
The practice not only is cruel, but 1t
is expensive. II a production record
was kept it would be found that every
time the cows were turned out in the
cold the yield of the milk would be re-
duced materially. 1t would be on ac-
count OF two reasons First, because
best results could not be obtained
when the animal did not get suffi-
cient quantity of water, and second.
because of the shock and chill to the
system. Diminish the allowance Of
food and the production of milk is, of
course. decreased.
A sufficient amount of water is just
as necessary as enough food. 1t re-
quires a certain amount OF food to
maintain the heat Of the body. Natur-
ally the colder the barn or the colder
the animal is kept, the more food will
be required to keep her warm.

GOOD DUCK TO RAISE
Black Cayuga Considered to Be
Profitable Fowl.
Thought to Be Equal to PekIn for
Early Market and Can Be Grown
as cheaply-Splendid Birds
for Restricted Range.

The black Cayuga is distinctly an
American duck, having been bred so
long in this country that all trace Of
its origin is lost. It is said that 1t
was first found in the central part of
New York, on Cayuga lake. By some
it is supposed to have originally come
from the wild black duck. For many
years the Cayuga has been raised in
this country and has been considered
by those who have bred it to be a
profitable duck to keep.
By some raisers it is thought to be
as good as the Pekin for early markets
and the claim Is made that it can
be grown as cheaply. The farmer
who desires good. practical duck
to raise on his farm in conjunction
with other poultry will do well to
give this valuable bird good try
out"
More time can be spent in dressing
1t for market than is generally given
to the dressing of white-plumage
birds, but the profits will be proper
tionately as great. Duck raisers. like

feathers for market fowls. but those
who do not look with this partiality
on the white varieties will find an ex-
cellent choice in the Cayuga duck.
Cayugas are splendid birds for a
restricted range and breed well in
confinement They are quiet. docile,
and form a strong attachment for
their home, evincing no inclination or
desire to stray far away from the
place where they were bred. They
are hardy and profitable. producing
from eighty to ninety eggs in the
spring. and sometimes they also lay
again in the autumn. They are easily
kept in good condition, but If fed too
literally they will fatten too quickly
and will become too heavy behind.
The ducklings are hardy and easy to
raise, and attain good size and weight
at an early age.
A duck run should pe disinfected at
least once a year. This is best done
by growing a green crop in 1t while
the ducks are occupying an alternate
run. There is very little danger of
overwhelming the laying duck. STEPPED
or cooked cut clover hay is a good
substitute for green food in the win
ter.

BEST TIME TO CUT ALFALFA

this is that at that time the mower
