Cheap Feeds
Prove Costly

The farmers who buys livestock
feeds according to price tags only
may find that he has INDUCED in a
bit of false economy, declares DR..
j. 0. Halverson, animal nutritionist
at the North Carolina Experiment
Station.
The cheapest feeds are not always
the most economical, DR.. HaIverSon
points out, and especially is this
true in the case of mixed feeds high
in fiber content but low in feed
value.
Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
make up the food value in mixed
feeds, while fiber only adds weight
and bulk and is harder to digest.
DR.. HalverSon cautions farmers
always to read the feed tag or the
list of ingredients printed on the bag
when buying mixed feeds. In this
way he can be sure of the percent
ages of protein and crude fiber.
AS an example, the nutritionist
points out that cottonseed meal con-
tanning Al per cent protein costs
more than that containing only sc
per cent, yet the higher priced feed
may we'll be worth the difference in
price.
This difference in protein content
is due to the amount of hulls ground
with the meal. The more hulls, says
DR.. Halverson, the more bulk and
weight, but the less protein and 9TH
er food elements.
Not only is this true with cotton
Ted meal, but w "a wheat middlings
and shorts as we'll. The more bran

Dougghton From This
District Is Dean of
State Delegation
No New Names

When the gavels fell in the new
Congress January S, the states con-
greSsional delegation answering the
roll calls was the same that repre-
sented North Carolina in the 74th
Congress.
All II members of the house sur
vived the Democratic primaries and
were reelected in the general cleo
tions. In the senate, Josiah W. Bailey
will begin his second sixyear term.
AS a result of this and the shifting
of membership in both houses be-
cause of elections, deaths and retire
mentS, the delegation will advance
en- bloc in seniority for the second
term of the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
Bailey, chairman of the claims
committee, will move up in rank on
the commerce, finance and post Of
fices and post roads committees.
Reynolds, whose term runs until
1889, will advance in seniority in ap-
pointmentS on the military affairs,
banking and currency, and District
of Columbia activities.
DOughtOn Dean in House
In the house, Representative Rob-
ert L. Doughton, of Laurel Springs,
dean Of the states delegation who
will begin his 18th consecutive two
year term, is slated to continue as
chairman of that body's ways and
means committee, although he has
been urged to seek the majority
leadership post.
Representative Zebulon Weaver, of
Asheville, will begin his 18th term
in the house, while Representative
John H. Kerr, of Warrenton, and A.
L. BulWinkle, of Gastonia, will re-
turn for their eighth time
Beginning his seventh term will be
Representative Lindsay G. Warren,
of Washington, NJ c., who holds
down the Craftsmanship of the house
accounts committee.
D. Representative Frank w. Hancock,
Of Oxford, and J. Bayard Clark, of
Fayetteville, will be beginning their
fifth terms, while Representative
Walter Lambeth, of Thomasville, will
be embarking on his fourth.
Representative William B. Um-
stead, of Durham, was sent back for
the third time, and, although it will
be only the second full term of Rep
resentative Harold D. Cooley, of
Nashville, he will rate as a third
termer because he was first elected
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Edward w. Pou, for
many years a member of the North
Carolina house group.
1t will be the second term for Rep
resentative Graham A. Barden, of
New Bern.

Program Stresses
Soil-Building

Soil-building will be given greater
emphasis in the 1887 conservation
program, according to Dean I. O.
Schaub, of State College.
Farmers will be encouraged to
grow fewer money crops and more
crops for soil-conservation and for
providing food and feed for home
consumption, he pointed out.
Larger soil-conserving crop bases
will be established, he added, and
there will be stricter regulations re-
garding the minimum acreage of
conserving crops required.
The minimum payment any farm
will be allowed to earn has been in
creased from $40 to $40, and it may
be earned by carrying out soll-build-
ing practices or reducing cash crop
acreage or both.
The rate of payment per acre for
carrying out soil-building practices
will be in line with those paid this
year.
Cotton diversion payments will
remain the same, five cents pound
on the average production OF land
taken out of cotton, up to 50 per cent
of the base acreage.
Tobacco payments will also con-
tinue at five cents pound, but a
grower may divert only Is per cent
of his total base next year instead of
80 per cent as in 1886. The amount of
peanut diversion has been reduced
from 20 to Is per cent of the base,
but the payment rate will remain at
l IA cents a pound.
Growers will not be encouraged to
divert their base acreages Of other
soil-depleting crops, but when con-
sidered advisable, county commit
tees will authorize them to do So.
Payments for these diversions may
be slightly less than they were this
year.
Soil-depleting crop base acreages
for each farm this year will be car
ried over into 1887, with such minor
adjustments as may be necessary to
correct inequities.
More consideration will be given
dairy farmers, truck growers, and
orchardists, the dean also pointed
out.

shrubbery Needs
Careful Pruning

Since shrubs renew themselves by
new growth from the base of the
plant, it is necessary that home gar
deners plan regular pruning sched-
ule to keep their shrubbery attrac-
tive.
If not attended to, shrubs will be-
come thick, ragged, diseased, and
unsightly, says Glenn o. Randall,
floriculturist at State College. In
most cases this practice is not due to
carelessness but to lack of knowl-
edge of how to prune and care for
shrubs.
A common mistake made at time
of planting, points out Randall, is
that of not pruning the tops to offset
the roots which were lost when the
plans were dug in the nursery. The
top should be reduced to about one
third when the plant is set.
Pruning should be started when
the plants are young. In the early
stages of development one of the
main objects of pruning is to pro-
mote bushy growth, Randall de-
clares. This will have the effect of
producing Weu-Shaped plant.
To produce a great profusion of
bloom in Towering shrubs, old canes
should be thinned out and those
stems left should be pruned slightly.
The plants should never be sheared
back SO that all canes are cut at the
same height, the floriculturist points
out.
The period of Towering can be
prolonged for some time in the case
of some shrubs such as weigelas,
spirea Anthony Waterer, and budd-
leias if the plants are pruned i'm
mediately after one set of flowers
has passed.
Many varieties of shrubs are es-
pecially susceptible to insect attack,
declares the floriculturist. The insect
rAnown as scale" which attacks Ii
laos and dogwoods can be controlled
to large extent by removal of the
infested parts.

the best methods of caring for birds
during the cold weather.
It is during the winter months
that baby chicks are Matched and
started. The grower who pays care
full attention to the selection of quail
ity eggs for Matching and then feeds
and manages the chicks properly is
in good position to make sub
stantial profit from his birds.
FHeWe1VFeeFE, say Parrish , the the farmer
who uses haphazard methods of Sc
lecting Matching eggs is likely to get
a devitalized crop of pullets and
cockerels.
If possible, the poultrymen should
purchase his chicks from an accred-
tied hatchery. Then the chance of
having a poor quality flock will be
minimized.

Farm Questions
Answered

Question: Can shelled corn be
stored in bags over winter?
Answer: If the corn is sufficiently
dry when shelled it can be stored in
bags without damage provided it is
treated for weevil control before
storage The corn should be treated
with carbon disulphide and then
stored in dry place. Where the
corn is little green it is best to wait
until it thoroughly dries before
Smelling as the slight dampness may
cause the grain to mold.
Question: Is it possible to cure or
corn lamb as you do pork and beef?
Answer: Yes. The shoulders and
legs are the cuts most frequently
corned. To each 10 pounds of lamb
use one and one-half cups of salt,
one-half tablespoon of saltpeter, and
three-quarters of a cup of brown
sugar. Rub salt thoroughly into the
meat, covering every portion, and
allow to stand with the salt on it for
"a hours. Then pour over the meat
the other ingredients dissolved in a
small quantity of lukewarm water.
Add water enough to cover the meat
and allow to stand in the brine for
three or four days. Since lamb alb
serbs more salt that beef, special
care should be taken not to use more
than the quantity specified.
Question: What is the best grain.
mixture for a poultry ration?
Answer: There are several grains
or combination of grains that give
satisfactory results, but the one most
commonly used in all sections of
North Carolina is composed of sixty
percent yellow corn and forty per-
cent wheat. However, this ration
should be largely governed by what
is grown on the farm, and the cost of
the grain which must be purchased.
Where there is an abundance of
heavy barley (48 pounds to the
bushel) Oh heavy oats (38 pounds to
the bushel) these may be substituted

Farmers Need
More Books

Every farm family in the State
should have local access to a good
nDrarY, III the opinion of DR.. Frank
=. Graham, president of the Uni
verslty OF North Carolina.
Speaking last week at the ANIMAL
conference of the State College ev-
tension service, DR.. Graham urged
extension workers to do all thew can
to help establish countrywide libra
rieS.
Already IA counties have made
provision for bringing good books
within reach of farm people, he
stated, but the work has just begun.
1t is estimated that at the present
time 100000 North Caro1inians do
not have ready access to libraries.
Most OF these are rural people.
Good books can do great deal to
raise the standard of living in rural
North Carolina, DR.. Graham pointed
out; one book may influence the en-
tire life of an individual, or the des-
tiny of nation.
a manuscript that fell into the
hands of Christopher Columbus set
him to thinking and finally led to
the discovery of America.
Another speaker at the conference.
Col. j. w. HARRISON, dean of admin
istration at State College, pointed to
the need for more agricultural re-
search.
Even today, with all the advance
ment that has been made, he said.
there is still an APPALLING waste, in
efficiency, and loss of labor In agri-
culture for the lack of better knowl-
edge regarding the control of plant
diseases and the production of farm
commodities.
]. B. Hutson, assistant national adj
ministrator of the AAA, said that by
interpreting the acts of Congress in
the light of the thinking of the
farmers, the 1887 soil-conservation
program has been designed to meet
their wishes as far as possible.
The object of the program is to in
crease farm income by building up
the soil and conserving it for it's
fullest economic use and by elimi-
mating wide fluctuations in the pro-
duction and the prices of agricultur-
al commodities, he stated.

NOW that nature has once more l Nsbeen adorned with the verdure of spring and a new season of out door picture taking has begun, it is appropriate to consider landscape pictures.
 Good landscape subjects are, at least, easy to find. One can travel scarcely anywhere without encoun- tering pleasing vistas of woods and fields, hills and valleys, stream and lake, country cottages, old farm. houses, tree.canopied roads. flocks of browsing sheep, herds of cattle, and all that makes for beauty and interest in landscapes.
 What should we do to capture these lovely scenes with our cam eras? Such views may seem easy to take as they meet the eye, but here, as in all photography, indiscriminate snapshooting usually results in jun. bled composition. A little thought, a little planning, little effort, if you please, to mGEe the picture-not merely to take it. This means care in selecting a viewpoint which makes the composition essential to an artistic picture. You cannot shoot on sight and be lucky every time.
 Beginners are often satisfied with any picture at all as long as it is clear. They are delighted merely to have obtained the correct exposure.

But he who takes pains to locate a viewpoint which gives in his finder a well-balanced arrangement of the objects in the scene generally gets pictures that are not merely photo. graphically clear but artistic.
 Are you willing to climb fence, toll up a rugged hill, wade g brook, to get that viewpoint? Many an en- thusiast has taken real risks for 8 viewpoint and been amply rewarded. Remember that the viewpoint should be such that the picture balances both vertically and hori. zontally. Generally there should be a large mass, the main object of in. terest, near but not at the center, balanced by several smaller objects or masses on the other side, or by 8 single smaller one farther from the center, or in some cases slightly above or below the center.
 Take time to move around from spot to spot and in each place ex. pertinent with the scene as it ap. pears in your viewfinder. Be satis. fled that you have this balanced composition before you let the pic. ture into your lens. Choosing the best viewpoint Is what the landscape painter does before he sets up his easel to make his picture. Remember that in the same way you, too, with a camera, can make a picture.

NUDlSTS BEGIN
 BRITISH DRIVE
Men, Women and Children Not Bothered By Lone
 don Police

London (UP)-The British mud ists' 1887 campaign is under way in the hopes that summer is just around the corner.
 Developments calculated to stim- ulate bashful converts to the "al- together" uniform include 100 per cent nudist boarding house in North London and evening parties in the homes of nudists-f1rst one place and then another. The men and women = and children - at these parties talk, dance and have light refreshments. Some wear trunks but many wear nothing.
 The police do not care as long as the parties are private and quiet. Public decency is not shocked and the law is powerless even if the po- lice did want to crash the party.
 Unusual Incident Recalled
 Last year there were an estima- ted 25OOO nudists in Britain, des- pite much opposition to the na- ture cult and a possible setback nurism may have incurred because of the incident at St. Paul's Ca- thedral.
 A thousand worshipers were stun ned when a young woman in dark cloak walked to the altar, raised her arms in supplication, released her cloak and stood naked. Inves- tigation disclosed the young woman uyaS a fanatic nacif1St
 This year the nudists' organiza- tion expect a 50 per cent increase in membership, perhaps a new high of 50,OOO nature worshipers. Seclud- ed colonies have been established throughout the country. Nudists es- timates that on every day the sun shines, 800 give nudism 8 first trial and 10 to 20 become converts.
 Swifter Progress Seen
 An officer of the National Sun and air league, nudist pioneers, said that nudism was making real head way in England.
 Local councils are beginning to see that we are not cranks," the official said. we have established a chain of colonies in many parts of the country. We have even re- cruited bishop-but i'm not say ing which one. "So far, most British nudists are professional men and their fami- lies, principally doctors and lawyers, but we are making drive this year for the working man and his fam ily."
 Nudists hint that a big congress of European nudists will be held this summer, perhaps in England, but they are not revealing details vet.
