AC* EOUWEWEh.-.jfc - FOR tHE DAIRY COW Extension Bureau Gives More Advice to Eastern Carolina on How to Food The Dairy Cow in Ordqr tq Obtain the Best Results, Both in Quanti ty and Quality * (. By N. C. Extension Bureau) Judging from the quality and amount of food usually given the family cow, her function is poorly understood. She has been credited, and truly so, as being the foster mother of the world. The food which she pro duces contains essentials neces sary to develop a strong vigor ous race, and yet in many cases she is forced to try to produce it on a scant unbalanced food. It is a mistake to assume that a cow can produce this well balanced human food, when supplied with a feed that con tains only a portion of the food[ elements found in the milk. It is also a mistake to expect . her to give a liberal flow of the milk when she |s allowed tq from one-half to three-quarters of the*amount of feed that is so necessary for her to have in or der that she may produce milk economically. The purpose of her owner! should be to obtain the largest amount of good piilk at the low est cost. The accomplishment of the purpose will first depend upon how good a cow he owns, and second, on how skillfully she is fed and managed. Nei ther one can take the place of the other but granting that the cow has average producing ab ility, then the limiting factor in her milk production will be the ?kind and amount of feed thdfr she receives. W At least two tons of a good legume hay should be provided for each cow. The soy bean is probably the beet suited for the purpose in Eastern North Car olina. It is well adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of this section pf the state, and when sown thick, produces hay of very fine quality, containing ' as much nutrition, pound for pound, as alfalfa. Lower grade roughages, such as shucks, the straw and stover, can be sup plied to the cow, but by no me ans should they make up the major part of the rough&ge feed. Timothy hay is another often fed to cows in the Cotton belt, although it is a very poor milk producer, no better than oat straw, and in feeding rough age to the cow, she would have all that she will consume without waste. In addition to the legume hay and coarser roughage,' it will be necessary to feed about one pound of grpin mixture for ev ery three pounds of f*i!k pro duced, or uncmgh at all times ; to keep the cow in a good me dium condition of flesh. A grain mixture of two parts of Crushed Com, one Jart wheat bran, and one ? part of cotton sehd meal, by freight, drill gtve goed results when fed ifi con nection with sor Heap hay and otler coarser roughages that miy be available.

C., Where Knickerbocker Thea ter Roof Caves in and Kills 98 Persons. The severest and most de ductive wind and snow storm recorded since 1899 swept over the entire Mid-Atlantic section of the country, last week, be ginning in North Carolina late Thursday evening, and grad ually moving northward, con tinuing unabated until Satur night. Damage to varying de grees was wrought throughout the territory embraced by the mid-Atlantic states, the Nation al Capitol, Washington, faring worst of all. The Knickerbock er Theatre, situated in the fash ionable Northwest section of thai City, collapsed Saturday night, as a movie show was in 'progress, and pinned beneath [it several hundred of the thea ters attendants. 98 persons ?were kiHfed, and over a hun dred wounded. Miss Nannie Lee Lambert, formerty of Ashe boro, N. C., wa att ong the vic tims of the crash, caused by the 24 inches snow bearing heavily upon the roof. She was a graduate of the State Wom an's College at Greensboro; and formerly worked in the of fice of the Asheboro Courier, a newspaper in her native' town. Snow fell to a depth of twen ty-four inches in Oxford, North Carolina and many other towna and cities of this State were bu ?rieB beneath the snow, Warren ton. Reflderann. and Durham reporting a depth of 12 to 18 inched. Hardly a town or city ill Piedmont and Eastern Carolina escaped the heavy snowfall, al though the depth of the snow in the eastern section wad not so (rfeat as in the piedmont area which suffered worst. Western Carolina experienced a slight snow also; and, on the Murphy Division of the Southern Rail way, a passenger train ran into a huge slice of earth and rock which had formed into a slide as a result of the snow.'Several were injured. In many places within the State tobacco ware-j houses were reported as having given way under the weight of the snow.

Passenger schedules on all ? of ?W lines Were disregarded, ahd id! trains ran several hours behind schedule. ? > In this immediate section the snow began falling late Thurs day afternoon, and continued through a greater part of that night. Friday, it .turned into sleet and rain. Saturday anoth er siege of snow came, but, with all td the downfall of part of two days, it only reached a depth of'from two to four in ches.

BURNING RESIDENCE IS SAVED BY WORK OF FIRE FIGHTERS LAST FRIDAY ; Two-Story Frame Building Oc cupied by Mr. Walter Over ton and Family, Owned by A. M. Browne Is Saved by City Water and Firemen 4 J* ' ' * '* ~ The two-story, six-room, frame dwelling house occupied by Mr. Walter Overton apd'fa mily, and belonging to A. M. Browne at Union, was partial ly destroyed by fire last Friday evening between five and six o'clock. The house is located on East Main Street, and is just across the street from the gar age buildipg of Geo. J. New bern A Co. The fire started frojfi a lighted kerosene lamp, in the southern- downstairs room, and soon spread to the ceiling above where it burned vigorously for some fifteen or twenty minutes, before the city fire hose was in operation. A strong North wind blowing fiercely luckily saved the entire building from being i completely destroyed; for, had it been blowing in the opposite direction the flames would have soon spread to all parts of the structure, before the frozen wa ter hose conld have been brou ght into play. As it was several minutes elapsed between the : time of bringing up the hose, and when the water was turned upon the building. This was due to a connection of the hose hav-1 ing been frozen. .With half of the upstairs , ceiling and roof almost com-' pletely burned, and the fire ra-' ging all through the other end of .the roof and in both upstairs roq^ns, the city water was turn ed on the building, with "Hap , py" Yert and Charlie Conger trying (and finally succeeding),' to direct the work of volunteert firemen. Much confusion reign ed as the water hose was brou ght up, the greatest handicap being an oversurplus of those who would boss the job. Over ?eagerness of the anxious crowd delayed the turning on of the water; although, when once it was put Ih play, the building was flooded with Water, and the fire quenched, with only roof : and upstairs ceiling burned. The kitchin and dining room were not touched by the fire, al though the entire house and contents Were flooded with the | water from the hose.
