i§or help or suggestions about doing
Shu testing.
Knowing how to do a thing is hav¬
ing it half done. The State experi¬
ment stations and the Department of
'Agriculture at Washington have very
■faeipful literature on dairying, that
,n be had for the asking. Why not
■ave success half won in the dairy
before the hand is put to its daily
tasks?
Without some provision to control
the temperature of milk and cream,
4o not hope for uniformly good re¬
mits. Temperature control Is as im
irtant as cleanliness, and much
cheaper. Use cellars, wells, dry holes
to the ground, or any other device
,t seems practical, if running water
aad ice are out of the question.
The worst trouble about dairying is
that it requires work seven days in
the week, and the best thing about it
Car a. progressive man is that the
more intelligence and practical in¬
formation he has the greater will his
■access be. Competition from incom¬
petent dairymen cannot cut down his
profits to the extent that would be
tone in most other lines.

advances towards delivering bottled

I Rristles For Ilog Raisers.

that is less starchy than corn. The
•lovers and peas supply good material

growing pig.

•he represents give returns every
Months, instead of every twelve.
Do not throw away your best
gwtunity by using a scrub or a
| boar. Use a pure-bred sire always;
as soon as convenient, get pure-bred
sows, so that the whole herd may
have the advantage of well-bred an¬
cestors on both sides for many gen¬
erations back. Each generation of
good ancestors increases the proba¬
bility of the pigs developing into what
the market calls for most.
The hog raiser who grows alfalfa
has an opportunity for making money
that is exceptionally good. Raise al¬
falfa for hogs if possible; and if it is
not possible, raise some of the clovers
and peas. In any case grow bur
clover, since it will make bone and
muscle cheaply during weather that is
too cool for the other leguminous
plants mentioned.
It is a small task to keep pigs
growing after they are weaned, if
there is good grass for them to graze.
The Southern farmer can have graz¬
ing not far from twelve months ia
the year if he will use bur clover and {
rye for the cooler part of the year.
Bur clover should be in every Ber¬
muda pasture. The rye can be seeded
on any land in the fall after a crop of
corn, cotton or vegetable is laid by.
Do not have acres of land lying
about while hogs are languishing for
exercise. Exercise is necessary for
their best development and for get¬
ting large litters of lusty pigs. The
mistake of close penning is moat often
made with the boar. He will get
better pigs and more of them if he
has ample opportunity to exercise
every day while grazing. This can be
done without much expense, even if ;
he is to be kept by himself.
State Assistance to Timber Owners.
It ,is the desire of the North Caro¬
lina Geological and Economic Survey
to assist land owners to make their
timber lands profitable. It is diffi¬
cult, however, to give satisfactory di
rections for the management of tim¬
ber lands by letter on account of the
different conditions existing in every |
piece of woodland. For this reason |
the State Forester will personally ex- j
amine lands when requested to do so
by the owners, provided there are at
least 500 acres at one place to be ex¬
amined. The acreage need not neces¬
sarily belong to one person. The
Forester will give the owners advice
and prepare plans for them showing
the best methods of cutting atul pro¬
tecting the timber in order to make
the yields more profitable.
The future value of forests can be
greatly increased by better methods
of management, this being especially
true of hardwood forests. One-tenth
of all the property in the State con¬
sists of timber lands and of industries
which are dependent upon them, and
nearly one-third of the totaf area of
the State is stilt in forest land, a con¬
siderable portion of which is not suit¬
able for farming purposes. It is to
the advantage of the land owners
who have timber lands that cannot
at once be cleared <ar which could
never be profitably cultivated that
these be put to the best possible con¬
dition for profitable timber growth.
There is little or no producing cord
wood for sale (although every farmer
should produce enough for his own
use); but valuable binds of timber
that have not reached their full
growth will steadily increase in
amount of timber and there is apt to
be a gradual but steady advance ia
its price.
Home Market For Alfalfa.
The spread of alfalfa growing may
cause some to inquire what will be
done with the increasing supply of
alfalfa hay. It is being shipped a
thousand miles into Mississippi, which
does not indicate that there is at
present any need to worry about
where the market will be found. The
home market will take all that will
be grown for some years to come.
If the time should aprive when the
home mar kets do not readily take all
that is offered, livestock would be
! raised to eat the alfalfa on the farm,
wit h big profit. The question is, not
what w in be done with the alfalfa,
but how much of it can be grown a»d
f
who w ill pocket the big profits. The
j recently published article on alfalfa
! growing and Its spread aroused much
j interest, ready and shows that many are
; getting to find out what they
can do in this line.—Chas. M. Scherer,

j Waxed Butter Paper.
’ Try getting waxed paper from
dairy supply houses to wrap butter
in. Then, when the butter has been
; formed into bricks, it can be delivered
to consumers or grocerymen in a
condition that will please the eye and
make it sure that a lot of dust and
dirt has not got on the butter on the
way to market. There’s money in
looks. It’s the easiest money there is
to be got.—Progressive Farmer.

UNCLE SAIVT IN LAND BUSINESS.
Mis; Lucky Bargain in the Alaska
Purchase^
An obscure paragraph in a recent
government report throws am inter¬
esting light on Uncle Sam's peculiar
aptness as a real estate agent invest¬
ing his own funds. The old gentle¬
man has made some of the biggest
real estate deals- in history,, and
though none of these quite equals
the entirely abnormal, if not apoch
ryphal, purchase of Manhattan Is¬
land for $24, yet he has driven some
very thrifty bargains.
The- paragraph referred to save
that $7,000,000 worth of precious
metals is taken every year out of Se¬
ward Peninsula, Alaska. Seward
Peninsula is only one of the many
•profitable mining districts of the
northern territory, and the- special
significance of the figures lies in the
fact that they represent the entire
original cost of the Alaskan Territory,
That is to say, one district alone re¬
turns every year the cost price of
the whole fabulously rich country,
whose resources have hardly been
scratched as yet. Incidentally, it is
a pretty coincidence that Seward Pen¬
insula should make this showing,
since Secretary Seward, who negotiat¬
ed the purchase of Alaska from Rus¬
sia forty years ago, was both criti¬
cised and ridiculed for paying the
M enormous sum” of $7,200,000 for ail
of Alaska.—Kansas City Journal.
WANTED TO KNOW
The Truth About Grape-Nuts Food.
It doesn’t matter so much what
you hear about a thing, it’s what you
know that counts, And correct
knowledge is most likely to come
from personal experience.
“About a year ago,” writes a N. Y.
man, “I was bothered by indigestion,
especially during the forenoon, i
tried several remedies without any
permanent improvement.
“My breakfast usually consisted of
oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee
and some fruit.
“Hearing so much about Grape
Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial
and find out if all 1 had heard of it
was true.
“So I began with Grape-Nuts and
cream, two soft boiled eggs, toast, a
cup of Posturn and some fruit, Be
fore the end of the first week I was
rid of the acidity of the stomach and
felt much relieved.
K By the end of the second week all
traces of indigestion had disappeared
and 1 was in first rate health once
more. Before beginning this course
of diet I never had any appetite for
lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty
meal at noon time.” “There's a Rea
son.”
