WE ARE GRATEFUL.

Our recent petitions to the public OF
Scotland Neck to communicate us the
news that they happen to learn has
brought forth results. Today we were
literally showereda with items by phone

deeply grateful. Our slogan of ''Read

to feel that they have an interest in
the paper-we know they read it
and we are especially DESTROYS that
everybody become a subscriber. 1t is
generally known to the business people
that the price of raw print paper has
advanced greatly within the past six
months and this raise in price affects
every publisher. No one IS immune
from the heavy charges. By way of
illustration, the paper this issue cost
exactly 4 cents per pound more than
it did six months ago. An advance of
nearly 200 per cent. We ought to insist
upon an increased subscription rate
bat recent investigation of conditions
causes us to bring the paper back down
to the old price-one dollar per year
At this price you are getting the Com

paper in the county.

A Transparency.
Boys and girls often have few
pressed flowers, trophies of a de-
lightful walk in The fields or of a visit
to the country and would like some
way to preserve them without crumbl-
ing. Here is one way we use them.
Get two squares of transparent
paper. From heavy white paper or
colored paper such as is used for
picture mats, cut square or oval
frame about one inch or more in
width. Lay one piece of he trans
parent paper fiat on the table, place
the frame or mat over it with little
daubs Of mucilage or paste on the I'M
der edge to hold them together. Ar
range the ferns, flowers or grasses in
side the frame. put paste on the very
edge of the frame, and lay on the other
piece OF transparent paper. Place a
heavy book upon it for an hour. You
may then trim away the edges of the
paper if larger than the mat. Bind
the edges with strips of gold or silver
paper or plain black paper for a
frame, add loop of tape or ribbon to
hang it by and you have a pretty
transparency for the window. If you
can get two discarded photograph
films instead of the paper it will make
a much more durable transparency.

NOTICE.

Some time ago letter was received
at this Office in which an inquiry was
made regarding the feasibility of fill
ing silos with corn slower or corn
stalks from which the ears have been
removed. The letter has been lost
and the name of the writer cannot be
recalled. For the benefit of him or
any other who may be interested, the
following brief answer is given:
Corn slower may be used for silage
to some advantage if it has been pro-
perly cured and is thoroughly wet
when put into the silo. 1t requires
large amounts of water-nearly twice
the weight of the slower. 1t must
also be very thoroughly tramped to
prevent excess of heating and decom-
position.
Silage from corn slower, when pro-
perly made, makes a fairly good sue
vulent feed although very low in act
ual feeding values. Generally it is bet
ter to put the whole corn into the silo
as experiments have shown that an
acre of corn as silage gives better re-
turns than the same amount of corn,
when fed as corn meal with the slower
fed as silage.
The particular value of slower for
silage is in its use for re6lling the silo
after it has been emptied Slower for
this purpose should be cut and stored
in such a way that it will be bright
and clean. as slower which has been
bleached by rains or snow or that is
mouldy will have very little value
when put into the silo.

NOTICE.

Blackleg among cattle has been I'M
usually prevalent during the past year.
This disease, which has nc cure, is
easily preventable by vaccination pre-
vlous to infection. 1t is, therefore,
highly advisable that all cattle up to
two or two and one-half years of age
be vaccinatcd tleast once a year.
Since backlog seems to be induced
by sudden changes in the condition or
surroundings of cattle, such as turn,
ing on or taking off of pasture, it is
generally desirable to vaccinate about
two weeks before such change is to
be made.
