The month of December usual
ly means "hog-killing" weather
throughout North Carolina. But,
warns Prof. Earl Hostetler, there
are other things that are impor-
tant in curing meat besides cold
weather. Pork of excellent quail
ty can be cured on the farm if
precautions are taken in slaugh-
tering the hogs and in curing,
smoking, and storing the meat.
Be sure the job is done right.
Complete directions are con-
tanned in Extension Circular No.
"a, which may be obtained free
of charge by writing to the Agri-
cultural Editor at State College,
Raleigh.
AgrOnOmy
There are any number of things
the crop farmer can do in this
twelfth month of the year, says
Enos Blair, extension agronomist.
The Coastal Plain farmer can disc
under all corn stalks, bean stalks,
and cotton stalks before Christ
mas to improve the fertility of
his soil. In the Piedmont, the
grower should pillow all clover
and lespedeza lands that are to
be planted to corn, cotton, or any
other crop next spring. Then, too,
the farmer who produces any
kind of seed for market can util-
ize the rainy days Of December
to put the seed in salable condi-
ton. Good weather can be used
to clean off ditch banks and ire
gular places in the field.
Poultry
December is a critical month
for the poultryman, says Roy
Dearstyne, head of the State Col
lege Poultry Department. Winter
is here, necessitating many days
of confinement for the laying
birds, which should be in produc-
ton by this time. Careful man.
agement must be practiced, since
! any neglect under such condi-
tons is Immediately reflected in
the birds performance. Check
carefully the following items:
ventilation, drop curtains, drop

ping boards, nesting material, and
breeding pens. Naturally, careful
feeding must be practiced, and
V-shaped troughs used for feed
ing scratch. Above all, don't let
disease get started in your flock.
Gull depressed birds at once.
Inventory
A farm inventory is simply a
list of everything a farmer owns
and owes at a particular time,
says r. w. Shoffner, State Col
lege farm management specialist.
1t serves as a basis for all other
farm records. and for the time
spent, it gives more valuable in
formation about the farm bust
ness than any other type of fl
nancial record.
Here are some of the things a
farm inventory will show: the
amount of net worth above all
debts; whether or not the farmer
is getting ahead financially and
how much; and valuable list of
all property which may be used
in case of fire for settling es-
tates, and other purposes. Farm
ers should plan now to take
farm inventory at the end of
1899.
Plant Pathology
DR.. R. F. Poole, plant disease
expert, says there are many cas-
es where sweet potatoes now in
banks will rot unless protected
from low temperatures and wa
ter. Also, he says, this is a good
time to cut out dead limbs of
trees in yards and orchards. Cut
close to the trunk of the tree and
apply heavy coating of paint to
the exposed surface.
Daifymg
The dairy cows four stomachs
have capacity of 40 to so gal
Ions. So, says Extension Dairy
man John Arey, this animal is no
nibbler. The cows digestive or
gans function best when well
filled with good feed. That's the
reason roughage is so important
in her diet. A pound of nutrients
can be produced more cheaply in
roughage than in grain. There
fore, it is considered a good feed
ing policy to give COW all the
roughage she will eat. Legume
| hay, such as alfalfa, soybeans,
lespedeza, coWpeas, or clover, is
unquestionably the best hay for
dairy COWS. Mixed hays, such as
a legume and a grass, legumes
with oats and barley, are also
good. Besides hay, cows need a
succulent feed. Silage and win
ter cover crops are recommended
for this purpose.
Right now, tobacco farmers
should begin to get their plant
beds ready for the 1910 crop, says
Lloyd Weeks, extension tobacco
specialist. If possible, choose a
new sight this year, so as to
avoid any disease organisms that
might have remained in the old
bed. If an old bed site must be
used, it should be burned, or
sterilized. Locate the b e d
in sunny, well-drained place. A
loamy type of soil is best.

the rear of the house, was run into
by a figure which she, too, is I'M
able to describe. We do not know
if these two figures are the same,
but if not we do feel certain that
one of them made the unidentified
footprints. Mr.. Orion assures us
that he believes the figure he saw
was that of a man; Miss Gordon
does not know if hers was man or
woman.
For the last time we are asking,
what you have all been asked be-
fore, do you know anything about
these footprints? A search is being
made for the corresponding shoes,
and I warn you that, if they are
here, they will be found.
"Has anyone anything to say re-
garding the footprints ?"
There was complete silence while
Lancy waited for reply. One and
all we twisted uneasily in our
chairs. Captain Lancy's solemn
voice was enough to make each
one Of us feel guilty whether we
were or not.
When Lancy found that no one
intended to speak, he said:
1--WE have been searching for
these shoes for some time. They
are too large for any woman here
to have worn, provided she wore
her own shoes. Bruce Orton's and
DR.. Peake's shoes are larger than
the prints. DR.. Rutherford's and
Joseph Barry's are smaller. It does
not seem reasonable to us that the
murderer was an absolutely un-
known stranger. What was his rea-
son for killing Mrs. Peake, if that
were true? We are constrained to
believe that the person who went
through the arbor wore shoes not
his Or her own, in an attempt to
create an unbeatable alibi. We
will now wait until the search is
completed before going on to other
things"
The detective Immediately turned
to Chief Forrest and spoke in
tone too low for me to distinguish
the words. The rest of us lust sat
there and waited. I suppose we
would have been allowed to talk if
we had wished, but so far as know
there wasn't one word said.
couldn't have spoken to save my
life. My fingers had moved auto
matically in taking down Captain
Lancy's words. 1 had to do that to
create the proper atmosphere for
my act, but my thoughts were
wildly jumping here and there
while my fingers responded to
years Of training.
1t must have been a half hour
later that Lancys assistant Scott,
whom I had seen once before, en-
tered. He saluted as he came to
stop before the table where we
three, Captain Lancy, Chief For
rest and l sat.
We've searched everywhere
Captain" he said, in a low even
voice. There are no shoes here
which match that print"
Very well, continue" Lancy dis

I I wondered what it was Scott
was to continue, for he went out
without another word. Lancy spoke
to me.
Miss Gordon, will you show tbs
print to each person here?"
laid down my pencil and rose
to my feet. was shaking so that
I could hardly hold the photograph
he handed me, yet I knew every
thing depended upon my carrying
through this job as calmly and non
chalantly as possible.
''This is the photograph Of the
footprint" he said, as though l
had never heard of the thing be-
fore. He turned back to the others.
II do not want more than one set
Of fingerprinte on this picture, so
Miss Gordon will retain it in her
own hands while she shows it 20
you. This picture has an added
point of Identification besides the
size. If you will notice. here is a
peculiar break in the sole at the
base of the big toe. That proves
that the shoe is an old one, not
merely one acquired for the one oc-
casion. Proceed, Miss Gordon. You
may point out the break to each
one. 1t is barely possible that at
some time, someone of you may
have noticed this mark on the sole
of the shoe itself, or in another
footprint"
had been worried that someone
might suspect a trap in my carry
ing the print to each one; but after
Lancy's long rigmarole L was sure
no one would dream Of any such
thing. Carrying the photograph
gripped between finger and thumb
of my left hand and a pencil with
which to point out the break in my
right, I stepped to DR.. Paul, who
happened to be the nearest person
at that side.
He seemed interested enough in
the print and looked closely as l
pointed out the break.
Give never noticed anything of
the sort, though I suppose 1 could
have seen the shoe which made it
fifty times and not recall it," he
said.
His head was close to mine as he
examined the print, but the only
odor I inhaled was that of good
fresh soap and water, so 1 went on
to Pauline, who sat next.
She seemed frightfully nervous
and merely shook her head as
showed her the print, and again
received no impression of that fleet
ing odor which so tantalized my
memory.
Coral Easton was next. She had
already focused my attention. l
was convinced that, if anywhere, it
would be on her that l would find
that delicate aroma. ] knew, too,
that if she had her way, wouldn't
get near enough to smell anything.
With wry mental grin, I deliber-
ately stepped behind her chair ana
held the print before her, with one
arm on either side of her neck.

7 ar Heels Keep Fans
Guessing All The Way

Tar Heel hackers will come early
and stay late, SO they'll be sure to
be on hand, for if and when the Tar
Heels start rolling, it's a ground and
air show to write home about.
The Tulane and Pennsylvania au-
dences agreed that Cardinals light
ming attack was one Of the most
dazzling they had seen, and Grant
land Rice called it the greatest come
back or stretch team he had seen SO
far.
The Tar Heels were able to give
only the barest review of their Phil
adeIphia and New Orleans shows in
the rain against State, but are re-
hearsing overtime to have the whole
show ready for the Davidson game.
And although other teams may
have stronger running attacks and
higher-poWered offenses, the Tar
Heels undoubtedly rank with the
most Wide-open, versatile, heady,
and Tightening offenses in the nation
In addition to StirnWeisS and La

stella performers as Paul SEVERN
and Jim Mallory, pass-snagging ends;
George Radman, a great clutch run

Chapel Hill, Nov. 7.-After the

Take the State game last week for
example General StirnWeiss and his
Air Raiders, raining blitzllrieg on the
puzzled Wolfpack from the opening
gun, scored two touchdoWns in the
first 10 minutes. The rains came
then, and Carolina, playing defen-
siVe ball, coasted in 40.

however, it was the end Of the third

last quarter Defire Stirny and Jimmy
launched their WhirlWind finishes

the wave and down the Violets.
AS result, Carolina supporters
are at loss to know when the light
