The North Carolina Council of De-
Tense wants Senator Robert NJ. LaFol-
lette expelled from the United States
Senate for alleged seditious utterances
in a speech before the non-Partison
League in st. Paul last month and on
the floor of the senate. In a meeting
at Raleigh on Friday of last week the
State Council adopted resolutions,
without a dissenting vote, condemning
the conduct of LaFollette and demand
ing his expulsion from the body he
ha sdisgraced. 1t ought to be done.
LaFolIette is not a whit better than
the commOnest deserter who infests
the mountain ave to escape enlist
ment in the army of the Republic.
Let him pay the penalty for his treas
enable utterances. The Senate will
investigate and punish the alleged
offender according TO his deserts. But
no final action is to be taken until
the December session.

The suggestion of Governor Beckett
to make November thrift month"
should not be overlooked. The Gov
ernor would have the farmer take
care of the profits realized from the
bountiful harvest of the present year,
for one thing. Another word OF adj
vice is to buy a farm, however small,
"live at home and board at the same
place" Fewer tenants and more gen.
uine farmers would help along
nightly.

PORK RAISING PAYS.
Success Depends Largely on Good Hogs
and Right Feeding.

Success Depends Largely on Good Hogs
and Right Feeding.
Is the problem of making pork Mt
profit any greater now that grain feeds
are high? Have We not correspond
ing rise in the values Of the product so
that we are just rs well off? Let us not
overlook the fact that only good hogs
pay at any time. says the Farm Jour-
nal. Poor swine. poorly kept or wormy.
are losing proposition under all con-
dltions of the market.
In keeping first quality hogs, espe-
cially pure breeds. there Is always the
additional inducement Of occasional
sales at good prices to breeders. But In
feeling there is a right way that should
not be forgotten. If you have skim
milk or buttermilk or are near Il cream NJ
cry where these may be procured Mt q
cost Of 40 cents per hundred or less It
will add quality to the ration and do it
profitably. Skimmilk is among the fore
most feeds as grower Of young stock.
while it has few equals as fattener
when fed with corn.
Says the Indiana experiment station:

was $2.75 per hundred if skimmilk was
fed But the cost was S4.O6 without
stimmilk. feeding corn only. For each
cent advance in the price Of corn tllc
pork cost 5.5 cents more when corn
was fed with milk and So cents moro
when fed without milk. If milk cannot
lie procured tankagc or clinical should
be put into the grain ration to balance
up the protein content.
However. aside from the grain ra-
ton. which IS high. forage Is available
at slight expense. and swine should be
given all they will consume. Try oats
and peas. alfalfa. rape and winter
vetch. ..
again. let the makers of pork not
forget that pigs weighing l11:d' to 22.1
pounds each are the most profitable.
and, luckily. the most popular in the
markets If possible these weights
should be obtained before the pigs
reach six months Of age keeping the
youngsters growing without a setback.

BREAKING VIRGIN LAND IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
moval of the preceding crop is profita-
bic II it stops or prevents growth
of weeds. But If the growing season
is past dead weeds may catch more
snow than would be caught by cul-
tivated surface.
Fall disking or listing, is usually
beneficial in putting the land in bet
ter condition to prevent the soil from
blowing. to hold the snow and to pre-
vent runoff. The penetration Of mois-
ture is slow. and when rains occur cvap-
grafton is rapid from hard soil sur
faces. such rs usually follow the grow
ing of small grain. The chances OF
storing moisture are increased by loos-
ening such compact surfaces rs early
as possible. Whether blowing is nee
cssary, however. depends very much
upon the type of soil Most heavy clay
soils arc best put in proper condition
by blowing. Sandy or light loan soils
should not be plowed in the fall and
left bare during the winter In regions
where soil blowing is likely to occur.
IL however 1t becomes advisable to
pillow such soils In the fall, blowing OF
the plowed area may be checked by
top dressing with barnyard manure.
Deep blowing should always he done
in the fall or very early in the spring
to allow more moisture to penetrate
and the soil to settle before planting
time.
On sloping land the blowing, listing
and cultivating should follow OH IL level
along the slopes or around the hills.
The moisture saved makes this n
profitable practice. and very often the
prevention of runoff IS necessary to
avoid erosion, with the loss Of the
richest portions Of the soil.
Alfalfa land to be prepared for corn
should be fallowed one year or plowed
early the previous summer.
Growing plants draw large quanti-
ties of water from the soil and sub
soil. All growth of weeds and volun-
! teer grain on land to be planted to
corn should be prevented.
Deep blowing and subsoiling should
be done In the fall rather than at
corn planting time. Soil put in the
right condition to take I'M moisture to
considerable depth Is also open to
the air and dries out rapidly. If nee
essary to pillow in the spring for corn
the blowing should be done early and
should not be deep, and the ground
should be packed Immediately. Plow-
| ing under several inches of snow is an
way Of getting moisture into the
ground

The News PRINT Shortage.

From the New Orleans Daily Sta.es.l
This unusual notice to the public
appeared on the first page CT the New
York World of Tuesday:
Owing to the shortage of news
Print paper in the American market
and the necessarily large size of the
paper, the circulation of the Morn
ing Edition of The World will be
reduced to $4,000 copies daily, be-
ginning February 1st, and limited to
that figure until further notice.
No other newspaper that we have
seen has, like The World, reduced its
circulation and fixed minimum be-
yond which it will not go. But many
papers have now ceased to exert
themselves for new circulation, have
cut off every paper that is not paid
for and have served notice that they
will not carry any subscriber in ar.
rears beyond ten days.
On Monday the seven newspapers
of Philadelphia, four morning and
three evening, doubled their price
from one to two cents. 1t will cos,
these papers 100000 more this
year for white paper than last; ano
they found they could not shoulde,
all the increased load and so decided
to shift part of it to the public.

LOOKS LIKE WAR, SURE.

The war situation seems to have
reached the crisis so much dreaded
by the people Of the United States.
Some time ago, because of the an
nouncement by the German Govern
ment of its intention to recede from
it's promises made to the United
States relative to the use of the sub
marine, relations were broken off be-
tween these two governments by the
recalling of the American Ambassa-
dor to Germany and the issuance of
passports to the German ambassador
in Washington. Following this, two
courses were open to the United
States: Either an immediate declar-
alton of war, based upon the assump-
ton that it was the intention of Ger
many to violate these promises, or to
await some overt act on the part of
Germany which would establish con-
clusively her intention to disregard
these promises. President Wilson
thought it wise to follow the latter
course.
A report from American Consul
Frost confirms an earlier report of
the Associated Press that the La
coma, a vessel of American registry,
was torpedoed without warning few
days since, the lives Of several citi-
zens of the United States being lost,
and this, in the opinion of official
Washington, constitutes the overt act
which will involve the United States
in war with Germany.
At present there is pending in Con-
gress bill authorizing the President
to take such steps toward protecting
the lives and property of citizens of
the United States as he may deem
necessary, and appropriating $780,
100000 for the arming of the mer-
chant vessels. This is an administra-
ton measure, introduced in the hope
that Congress, this term of which ex-
pires March 4th, might consider it
wiser to leave the entire situation in
the hands of the President than to
take action in the matter before ad-
journment

PROTECT ANIMALS
BY VACCINATION
Where Charlton Once Existed Animals
toms Of Charlton vary-Post-
Mortem Examinations Dam
0erous.

All animals should be vaccinated
regularly whore Charlton once existed.
and the owner should not wait until
the disease has broken out. as it re-
quires about one month from the first
injection for the animals to become
protected. 1t Is better to set date
on which to begin vaccination each
year. This should be done not later
than the first Of March. This date
should not be allowed to pass without
having the animals given the first
dose Of a double-dose vaccine. They
ought to be protected by the first OF
April, as Charlton, as rule, rarely
breaks out previous to that time.
The symptoms of Charlton vary &C
cording to the channel through which
the infection (germs) enter the sys-
tenn, and may be from sudden death,
without any external signs, to sick
ness for few days with swellings on
the exterior Of lie body. Where the
infection has been inoculated through
the skin, primary swelling will be
seen at each point of incubation.
Hogs usually show swelling Of the
throat, which is sometimes mistaken
for sore throat or quinsy. During the
summer months. especially where
Charlton has previously existed, all
cases Of sudden death should be look
ed upon as suspicious Of Charlton, and
| the carcasses treated as such, as most
Of them are likely to have resulted
from that disease, and it is much
safer not to take any chances. Be-
sides. the regulations of the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board require
| this.
Ordinarily, Charlton does not re-
spond to internal treatment with
medicines. Local, primary-inoculation
swellings, may, however, be injected,
hypodermically, with five per cent
solution of pure carbolic acid and
water.
Post-mortem examinations Of char
bonous. or even suspected, carcasses
should never be made, nor their skins
removed, as they are highly infective,
and any blood from them will spread
the disease; besides the danger to the
person making the post-mortem. The
best way to have the disease identified
Is to make a small puncture with a
needle, or small cut with the sharp
point Of knife. in the jugular vein,
or at the base of the ear, and allow a
drop of the blood from the carcass
(just after or within an hour after
death) to fall on a small piece Of
clean. thin glass. Then draw the
drop into thin smear, or film. with
q second piece Of glass; dry it in the
sun; place the two pieces OF glass to
gether. with the blood in between;
place the specimen in a proper mail
ing package, bearing the name OF the
sender; and mail it to the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board, Baton Rouge
for Identification. with a letter from
the party sending It, Pieces of flesh
or other tissues, should not be sent
through the mail in ordinary pack
ages. They decompose in warn
weather. and are useless for exami
nation. Besides. it is against tn.
u. s. Postal laws to do so, on &C
count Of the danger to postoffice EN-

Dairy Farming Profitable.

Dairying Is an economical form of
agriculture and economy and thrift are
handmaidens Of prosperity. 1t retains
upon the farm the larger portion of
the fertility of the crop and thus the
prOductiveness OF the fields is kept up
without recourse to expensive CONNER
cial fertilizers. Dairy farms are in
variably highly productive because the
fertility is returned and because
plentiful supply Of humus is supplied
to the SOIL, Dairy farming is economi-
cal in that it utilizes practically all
the land. Parts that arc unsuited to
the plow can in nearly all cases be
turned to pasture.

A merchant of this place told US
che day recently that seed Irish po-
tatocs are now costing in Shreveport
$4 per bushel and onion sets SIS per
crate. And don't you believe for a
moment that other things are not
proportionately high in price. 1t
would seem that the proposed inves-
tigat Oh by the Federal Trade Com
mission Of the rise in food prices
would be timely. President Wilson
is to be asked to approve an appro-
priation Of 100000 for that purpose,
and it is planned to cover every side
of the food situation. The investi-
cation if intclligcntly and conscien-
tiously carried out, and to success

the American people at four times

Many foreigners, including both
Germans and Austrians, have during
the past week or so applied to take
out naturalization papers in this
country. Particularly is this true of
the larger cities, where they have
fairly flocked in to become subjects
of Uncle Sam. But the best part of
this story is yet to be told. The ma
jority of them have declared that they
will willingly take up arms at any
time in defense of their adopted
country.
