BUCKWHlEAT.

A very valuable grain crop which
can be p~roftably grown throughout
the mountainous sections of our ter
ritory is buckwheat. Buckwheat can
be sown from the 18th Of June to 10Th
of July and will produce a profitable
crop on medium good land. Every-
body knows of it's value as a food. 1t
is excellent for poultry, hogs and for
dairy cows.
On account of the season IN which
it can be sown. it comes in well as a
catch crop and will provide food in
many districts which otherwise might
be in danger Of a shortage.
1t should be sown on land prepared
as. for corn. It is an excellent crop
to SOW where corn or some other croD
has been planted, but where a s1ano
has not been secured. The farmers in
the upland and mountain sections of
our territory would do vel to plant a
few acres in buckwheat this year.

DRIVERS TO BLAME If
HORSE GERS SORE NECK.

We know how annoying it is to be
obliged to lay a horse off in the midst
of summers work, on account of sore
shoulders, some never do. A good
man is often seen in front of his
horses, adjusting their collars and
names. Don't let a horse work an
hour in an Hitting collar.
The greatest care is NEEDED In the
spring when work first starts for the
horse will shrink and the collar will
soon be too large. A collar that il
too large will injure the shoulders
more than one that is too tight.
Imagine a man trying to play base
ball before his hands have become
toughened. Keep them we'll. Look at
them several times a day. Keep the
shoulders and the collar clean. If a
shoulder gets sore it is the drivers
fault; hold him responsible.-Colorado

economically planted in rows, either

ample for an acre. and planted in rows

A square deal from national and

c%1lities for rural self-government-
these are some of the things that farm

HOME PRESERVING EGGS

Selecting EggS.-ThOse to be used
must be clean. fresh, not owe three
days old, and absolutely sound in shell
that is no cracked eggs are fit. Eggs
can be put in each day, just as we wish
and can spare them. This is a great
advantage.
COntainer-Any suitable sized earth

BROODY HENS, CUT EGG PROFITS.

Now that the Matching season is UNI
der way. the poultry raiser will be in
terested not in persuading hens to sit
but in breaking them up.
Broody hens greatly reduce the egg
yield and in this time of egg shortage
it is important that each hen be kept
busy. 1t is a mistake to let them sit
simply because they want to-. If they
are allowed to follow their inclfna-
tons, they will sit indefinitely. If they
are broken up they will begin laying
again in about ten days, provided that
they are in good condition.
Such methods as dipping the broody
hen in water are useless in breaking
her up and they may impair future
egg production. Mr.. KemDster Sug-
gests that as soon as the len shows
signs of brOodiness she be removed to
a Stat or wire bottom coop. She will
beeasier browen up at first than later.
Broodiness is quite largely a state of
mind.
If the broody coop is put where the
hen can see the rest of the flock sh~
will grow restless. After four days
let her return to the flock. Bv this
time she will have changed her mind
and will go back to laying. Be sure
to feed her literally while in The coop,
for laying hens must have a surplus
of fat. A hen in poor flesh rarely
lays.
A little attention to the broodY hen
will make a great difference in the
looks Of the balance sheet. In these
days of high priced cGgs it is import
ant that the hen take as little vacation

THE APPEARANCE AND CONTROL
OF CLUBROOT OF CABBAGE.

West Raleigh, June 18.-Cabbaee
and collards are very commonly affect
! ed with a disease, which is more than
ever prevalent this year, known as
Club Root of Cabbage" This disease
is very destructive in some parts OF
the State this season. cabbage in some
neldS being a total loss. The dis
ease is, however, easily recognized
says the Division of Plant Pathology
Oh the Experiment Station. The ris-
eased cabbage presents a Stunted and
~unneaIthy appearance above GROUND
and the roots are badly deformed, with
large knots sometimes as large as the
hst) on the main root, with the smaller
roots badly swollen. All plants az
fected are either killed outright or else
dW1ndle along and fail to form heads.
Ihe germ. or organism, which is re-.
sponslble for this trouble enters the
plants through the roots and lives from
season to season in the soil. The dis
ease yields easily to control when air
slaked lime is thoroughly worked into |
the soil to a depth of from 6 to 9
inches. Probably two or three tons
per acre will be necessary. In certain |
of the trucking sections, the addition |
of three tons of air-slaked lime per /
acre increased the yield on adjoining /
fields from 675 pounds per acre Il

There is also much speculation as to
whether in America (as is already the

farmers will not gradually come to

workers will go out to their fields. Of
course, as population grows denser
this will be nor feasible.
