Oddly Marked Stone
May Proue of Value

A rather broad claim is being made
for the Leopard stone quarry, in Davie
county, as ''the only stone deposit Of
the kind in the world" The leopard
stone, or leopardite, as named by the
biologists, was discovered on the
Phifer property, in the Belmont Sec
ton, years ago, and the government
has at frequent intervals sent agents
to get samples Of the stone. 1t is a
species of granite marked with black
spots, suggesting the leopard.
If the quarrying Of the stone on the
Harrison farm proves of commercial
value, then we might expect develop
ment of the leopardite quarry at Char
lotte, for the quarrying of the rock
would indicate that use has been
found for it in construction purposes
of some kind. 1t would make beau
tiful building material, and the wonder
is that it has not been adopted by
architects long ago.-Charlotte On. c.

Barley Is Superior for
Fattening Farm Stock

Barley is unsurpassed as nurse crop
for clovers and alfalfa; it is better
feed than oats for fattening hogs,
sheep and cattle; and since it is one
of the best substitutes for corn, it's
early maturing quality will make this
grain doubly valuable in a short-corn
summer.
The early maturing quality of bar
ley gives 1t distinct advantage over
oats. This is especially true during the
present corn shortage. The grain can
be threshed about the same time as
wheat, eliminating two dressings and
making available midsummer grain
feed
Barley is decidedly superior to late
oats as nurse crop for clovers and
alfalfa because it shades the ground
less, and, by its early maturity, leaves
more moisture in the ground for the
young clover.
Chiefly because of its lower per-
centage of hulls, barley Is better
feed than oats for fattening hogs,
sheep and cattle. Barley contains more
carbohydrates than either wheat or
oats, has less fat, and contains only
one-third as much crude fiber as oats.

Pure Bred Live
Stock in Favor
Experience of Owners Who
Are in Position to Make
Comparison.
prepared by the United States Department
. of Agr

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A report just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture on
the progress of the better sires-
better stock campaign for the improve
ment of domestic animals states
briefly why pure bred animals excel
other kinds. The information is
based on the average experience Of
hundreds of stock owners who have
been in position to make COMPARE
sons. 1t thus points to the results
which other farmers who are consid-
ering the Improvement of their live
stock may expect from pure bred sires
and also from the combined use Of
pure bred sires and pure bred dams.
Summary of Points.
Following Is summary of the
points in which pure breds excel:
Based on utility alone, pure bred
live stock has an earning power from
a third to one-half greater than scrub
stock. Pure breds excel other stock
in: Superiority and uniformity in con-
formation and type, greater sale value,
early maturity and economy In the
conversion of feed into meat, milk,
wool and work.
Surplus pure breds are salable at
satisfactory prices in majority Of
cases.
The progeny of pure bred sires has
practically so per cent greater sale
value than the progeny of sires not
pure bred.
Better breeding, combined with
proper and adequate feed, practically
prevents runty live stock, of which
the average farm has about Z per
cent.
Well-bred beef cattle, sheep and
swine yield from to 10 per cent more
meat than inferior animals of the
same live weight, and the meat Is of
better quality.
Profitable Use Of Feed.
Improved live stock makes about 40
per cent more profitable use of feed
than common stock. Pure breds excel
grades, and grades excel scrubs.
The use of pure bred sfres leads to
the ownership and use Of fully six
times as many pure bred female ami
mails.
The foregoing brief conclusions are
based on thorough analyses Of large
numbers of reports. The movement
for better live stock which the depart
ment is conducting, In cooperation
with the various states, has resulted
in a gradually increasing recognition
of the many points in which well-bred
animals are superior to ordinary live
stock. The study and control Of ami
NAL breeding are among the most i'm
portant and practical means of max
ing live stock enterprises more profit
able to farmers and also of improving
the quality of meats.

Purest Grade of Glover
Seed ALWAYS Cheapest

| The best grade of clover seed sells
at higher rate than the poorer
grades, but one pays less for each
pound Of viable seed when the best
! is bought.
"The term a bushel Of clover seed
| Is very indefinite unless you know the
percentage Of purity, the percentage
of termination, the kind Of weed seeds
1t contains and where it was grown"
says E. G. Blair, extension agronomist
for the North Carolina State College
of Agriculture. "The purest sample of
clover seed ever grown Is no good If
1t will not terminate; seed that will
terminate 100 per cent are costly if
they are trashy and full of trouble
some weed seeds. Field tests have
shown that clover seed grown In the
United States will survive our winters
better than those grown in foreign
countries"
Mr.. Blair states that the North Car
DINA seed laboratory has set SO per
cent as the standard Of purity and
30 per cent as the standard of germi-
nation. Samples received at this lab
oratory last year ranged from $3.50
to 1894 per cent in purity, and from
6 to SO per cent In termination.
"A comparison was recently made of
six good samples of American-grown
red clover Seed" says Mr.. Blair. 1.-THE
results of the tests showed that the
best seed was the cheapest because
the purchaser secured larger num-
Der of viable seed for his money as
compared to cheaper seeds which were
low in termination, trashy and full of
weed Seeds"

tuberculosis Being
Eradicated Rapidly
Country Wide Plan Known
as "Area Work"

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Graduating bovine tuberculosis not
| only from individual herds but also
from entire counties, is gaining favor
among live stock owners, according
to a recent announcement of the bu-
reau of animal industry United States
Department of Agriculture. The
countrywide plan is known as 'area
work" On January ! of this year
approximately 4S5 counties in the
United States were engaged in some
form of area work. OF these, So coun-
ties had reduced the extent of infec-
ton to less than half of per cent,
and are officially designated as modi-
fed accredited areas. One hundred
others had completed one or more
tests of all the cattle within their
borders and were approaching the
disease-free goal.
These 4S5 counties constitute about
16 per cent Of the total number of
counties in the country and contain
nearly eleven million cattle. The &C.
tivity is going on in all portions Of
the country. Following the suppress
sion of foot-and-mouth disease in Cal
ifornia, that state, along with the
others, is now showing renewed ac-
tivity in banlshing tuberculosis.
The cattle in Freedom county. Min
nesota, were tested under severe diff
culties because of below-zero weather.
Forty-twO veterinarians started work
December 8, using teams instead Of
automobiles. They tested more than
$1,000 cattle on 900 farms, finding
about 300 reactors. Federal officials
have classed this activity as "a good
piece of work"

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store
may be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR.,
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.

Most Effective Method
for Treating Potatoes

The most effective method of treat
Ing potatoes for scab is to dip the
potatoes in solution of corrosive SUBJ
Innate. prepared by dissolving 4
ounces of corrosive sublimate in sew
eral quarts of hot water in a 5O-gal-
lon barrel and adding enough cold
water to make 80 gallons. Place the
potatoes in this solution and allow to
stand for one hour. Potatoes NAV re-
main in the sack when being dipped
but 1t is better to place them in loose
or in crate that does not absorb the
solution. After every six bushels
about one-quarter ounce of corrosive
sublimate should be added to the solu-
ton to preserve it's strength. Potatoes
should be clean and all rotten or dam
aged potatoes removed before dipping.
Only earthenware or wooden contain
ers should be used for the solution as
It corrodes metals.

Good Summer Pasture.

Sow oats or barley, or good mix
ture of the two, and SOW with it some
good grass mixture as timothy and
alsike. If sweet clover does we'll, that
would be good to sow either with the
other grass seeds or alone with the
grain. The oats and barley will fur
nish considerable feed early in the
summer. The grass will, If the sea-
son Is favorable, make considerable
feed in the late summer and fall and
should be ready to make good pasture
next year.
