Twin Calves Are
Born GUERNSEY
Cow At Badin

B~adin.-During a thunderstorm
here, the Guernsey COW of P. D.
Deese must have become a bit ex-
cited, for it gave birth to a fine,
little, baby cow-so thought P. D.,
as he ran out into the pasture and
took the situation in his arms and
carried it to shelter.
About that time, friend neigh
Dor came along and saw an infant
Guernsey lying in the pasture, and
yelled, Say, P. D., you'd better
go out there in your pasture and
get that little cowlet and bring it
in out of the rain" "Aw, quit
your kiddin',' replied P. D. Cam
you see I've already brought the
heifer in?"
Anyhow, his neighbor insisted
that he take a peek, and shurt
huff, by gum, there was another
out there in the lot.
The COW and P. D. are mighty
proud of the twin Guernsey
babies.

thought Of how good life would be
with Terry and quite deliberately
planned that when he asked her,
as she knew he would. to marry
him, she would consent.
She did; but her innate honesty
came to the fore and she told him
first that she didn't think it fair
to marry him, when the love was
all OF his side.
"Tll take the chance" said Terry.

Ali Short Course
I ermed Successful

With a full program of educa-
ton and recreation being carried
out smoothly, the All Short
Course at State College, July r.
II, has been described as "un-
doubtedly the best ever held in
North Carolina"
L. R. Harrill, State All Club
leader, was highly pleased with the
behavior and performance of the
647 boys and girls who attended
from Is counties. This group re-
presented the cream of the more
than 10000 white club members
in North Carolina.

club, and county making the most
outstanding record during the past
year were honored. They were:

ty; the Fallston Club, of Cleveland
County; and the Stanly County
clubs.
]. w. Gibson, of Jones County.
and Marcelle Doub, of Forsyth

All Clubs for the coming year
Other officers elected we're: Ida

at that moment. Mrs. Schmidt
looked up and saw him.
It was all very mystifying but
most of all Mrs. Schmidtis manner,
when she came hurriedIy to him,
closing the door behind him. She
was smiling and took both his
hands in hers. She said it was a
lucky night for them-ach, such a
big order! When he reminded her
he was no longer in her employ,
she told him she hadn't meant what
she had said; she had been startled
at seeing him there and when she
was startled, she said crazy things.
Why, she had meant for a long
time to raise his salary. When he
came to work the next day, he
was to come directly to her and
they would fix it all up.
Suxy was nervous when he re-
joined her and told her what had
happened. He was in such high
spirits that he laughed at her, &C
cused her OF having the romantic
ideas Of a schoolgirl.
II don't like It." insisted Suzy,
why was that beautiful woman
oh waS she q beauty?-in q dInFy
factory at night? And what were
those papers? Did you hear what
they said?"
Sure" Terry said teasingly.
But ~ 7 don't know German, lots

why would they be speaking in

fun Of thinking Of spies or secret
agents or whatever. But these are
days OF peace. Mn. Schmidt n 4

over there. It's Mrs. Schmidt, my
boss. Watch your chance and go
quietly down and wait for me. I'll
be right along"
Mrs. Schmidt was furious when
she saw him. She said he was fred
on the spot and must go out at
once. He couldn't even stop to pack
his model. He could get it the next
day and any money due him. Some
thing in her manner made him Gu
rious. So when she had gone into
her office, he banged the door and
stood in a shadow to see what was
going to happen. In a minute or
two, he heard steps coming up the
back stairs-stealthy steps they
WERE. So-that was why she had
insisted he go out the front way.
A man and a woman crossed the
room and went into Mrs. Schmidt's
Office. He tip-toed across the room,
stood on a chair and looked over
the transom. He could not see the
faces of the strangers. Mrs. Schmidt
opened the safe and handed them
some papers. He decided it was
time for him to go to SuZy and Just

crossing her partners, that's all"
Suzy said nothing, but az they
passed under a bright light, he saw
how pale her face was, how she
was sitting bolt upright, staring
ahead with frightened eyes. He
knew he must not tease her any
more. ~
"Suzy," he said, there is nothing
to be afraid Of. I know that. But
this has made me see thing
clearly. We're not going to put off
being married another minute.
You haven't said you would. I say
it for you. I know a clergyman
We'll go to. And I've not been with
out the license since that day T told
you you couldn't escape marrying
me-"
And so they were married.
They went back to Terry's room.
Suzy had not had time to take off
her hat, when she heard a slight
noise. She wheeled around to see
that the door had opened. Before
she could speak, could move, there
was the firing Of a pistol and Terry,

After an absence Of two years.
farmers and farm women flocked
to the State College campus July
1871 to participate in another sue
cessful Farm and Home Week.
Cancelled last year because of
the statewide outbreak of infantile
paralysis, the event this year at
tracted thousand of both old and
new attenders from all parts of
the State.
The season was somewhat mar
red by adverse weather conditions,
first by a heat wave and then by
rain. Had it not been for these in
clement conditions, the attendance
probably would have been boosted
by several hundred.
Those attending went through a
five~day period of education and
recreation. During that time they
heard many prominent agricultural
leaders speak on various phases OF
farming. Among the speakers were
J. B. Hutson, director of the Sol
Conservation program in the east
central states; Edwin A. O'Neal,
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation; DIR. Clarence
Poe, editor of the Progressive
Farmer ;and Harry A. Cation, sec

Swine Production
Again Attractive

The production of pigs has again
become attractive as compared
with the past three or four years,
primarily because of the increase in
price without a corresponding in
crease in the cost of feeds.
For example, says Earl H. Host
e%tler, professor of animal husban-
dry at State College, in June, 1882
hogs were worth only 1852 per
hundred pounds. In June of this
year their value was almost three
times that amount, yet the price
of corn has advanced to only about
twice its value in 1882.
Because corn and hogs go hand
in hand in the corn belt section of
the United States, it is only natur-
that corn and hog prices should
follow each other closely, points
out !Hostetler. So now is the time
to raise more pigs while corn prices
are low.
North Carolina is better suited
for the raising of swine than the
Mid Western states, declares Host
etler. Not only is there an abund-
ance of feed available for CONNER
cial hog production but there i:
also a milder climate. This permits
a greater use of forage crops and
requires less expensive housing.
Then, too, this State is within
4 reasonable distance of the highes,
market in the United States, New
York and vicinity.
Another distinct advantage
points out Hostetler, is that there
is plenty of protein supplement
to corn such as fish meal, Gotten.
seed meal, soybean meal, and pea.
nut meal. These products 1T al
high in nitrogen and are relatively
cheap because they can be fed il
the vicinity in which they are pro
duced and manufactured withou
paying any considerable amour
;, for transportation.

His delicacy had equalled his
kindness. Because he had asked
her to place a bet for him-begin-
ners' luck was proverbial, he said
and the horse she picked, won and
paid twenty to one, he insisted the
money was hers. He had made
peace with her landlady for her;
he had seen that she had good
food; he had taken her on long
drives in the country and to the
interesting old places in London.
II have a good job, as jobs CO."
he said reassuringly one day, when
she had limited that he was extrav-
agant. "Of course, working in a
button factory is just a stop-gap.
But it will do until my invention
is finished. And then-when it is
on the market, goodbye factory for
ever"
Suzy liked him so much that she
wished she were in love with him.
She wasn't. She was as sure of
that as she was that he loved her.
He was fine and good and kind
beyond words and he had Irish
charm. # only she were in love
