New' Hanover county Is. head and shoulders above any other county in the State in point of the regis tering of births and deaths. Accord ing to a statement given out at the office of the State Board of Heaitn, New Hanover county shows an an nual death rate for one-sixth of the year of 26 1-4 per 1.000 population. While this seems high. In view of the fact that it was thought that the general death rate for the State would probably range between 20 and 25 per 1,000. yet It goes to show that in New Hanover they are registering practicably all their deaths. Forsyth county appears to be the sscond county in the State with a registration rate of 24, and Guil ford third with 19. Special effort will be made from this time on to secure more complete records from the other counties, beginning with the first of the year. Within the next few days several representatives will be placed in the field to secure better organiza tion of the registration work and to make prosecutions where wilful violatiions of the law are found. The Board intends to have this law ful'y enforced, and will spare no effort toward this end. About profits before ft.

MHMTI0NAL . SlINMfSaiOOL1 Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR APRIL 12 THE JOURNEY TO EMMAUS. (Easter Leason.) LESSON TEXT Luke 24:13-35. GOLDEN TEXT "Who Is he that shall condemn? It li Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who Is at the ri&ht hand of God, who alao maketti intercession for ua." Rom. 8:34. We turn aside today to consider aa the Easter lesson a well-known event in connection with the several appear ances of our Lord after his resurrec tion; one of the many Infallible proofs, Acts 1:3; I Cor. 15:4. The narrative of this journey is one of the most beautiful post-resurrection stories, simple, clear and of great value. It la related, evidently, by an eye witness. The Cleopas mentioned is not the son of Mary, John 19:25. The name of the second pilgrim is but a conjecture, though we somehow feel It was Luke himself. The journey was about seven and one-half miles and most likely they were returning to their homes after the Passover. Somewhere on the way a stranger joined them who asked the nature of their conversation, and the cause of their evident sadness (v. 17). In astonishment, Cleopas answers, but the stranger continues and adroitly draws out their entire story. Interesting Progression. I. Their Disappointment, vv. 13-24. It la all too evident that they did not expect a resurrection and ( that, filled with perplexity and discouragement they were on the verge of despair. It Is interesting In this lesson to observe the progression (1) "and they talked" t. 14; (2) "and they found not." v. 23; (3) "and they saw not," v. 34; (4) "and they constrained him," v. 29; (5) "and they knew him." r. 31; (6) "and they said . . . the Lord la risen," vv. 82, 34; (?) "and they told," v. 34. As they "talked" It was revealed that their loving hearts were full of aadness and empty of faith, yet to talk Is often the only way to find relief from the gnawing of grief. There seem (v. 15 R. V.) to have been two opinions and In their slow ness of heart and unbelief they did not recognize their new companion. In response to his query they told how this Jesus had beea delivered, con demned, crucified, and then revealed that this was to them the end of all things, for said they, "We had hoped that it was he." Are we willing he should have part in our every conver sation? Continuing they told the amazing tale related by the women and, moreover that their statement of an empty tomb had been verified by certain women who had gone to in vestigate, but. In conclusion, they again reverted to their sadness by saying "They found his body." Cause of Sadness, y. II. Hit Appointment, vv. 25-35. Evidently the journey was continued and he gently rebukes them for their slowness of heart to belMVe the rec ord of their own prophets. All sad ness, practically, arises from unbe lief in the Word of God. Phil. 4:6, 7; Rom. 8:28-32. He Interpreted to them the true Messianic teaching of their own scriptures. He charges them with folly not to believe "all" of the record (r. 26). True wisdom is not that of skepticism which cuts out portions of the word, but, according- to Jesus, it consists In believing all of the Scriptures. At last they reach Em maus, still, let us remember, not knowing who it Is walking with them. The road beyond was dangous and "they constrained him" to acCept their hospitality. As he sat at the table partaking of the ordinary evening meal, he assumed the place of the host, took the bread, blessed it and broke It. Instantly those old familiar acts and words revealed to them who It was that had walked by the way. III. Teaching Points. This narra tive is so full of teaching and yet so clear and simple that It is hard to suggest any ordinary deductions therefrom. The story does, however, reveal the interest of the risen Lord in the doubt of these two disciples. That they were probably not of the twelve is evident by the fact that when they returned to Jerusalem they found the eleven assembled (v. 33). Thus we sear hi m going tc those out side of that inner circle, also, two who loved him seeking a solution of the mystery and consolation for their sad hearts. First .hiding his identity, he drew from them their story. He then took them back to their Scrip tures, with which they must have been familiar, and revealed to them that this mystery was according to those holy writings. Again the picture of his disciples is interesting. The progress of de velopment in their faith above . al luded to, the evidence o their faith and love in him, their tender affection and the death of their hope. He had not, bo they thought, been able to accomplish that which they had ex pected he would accomplish. In com pany with all of his diaclples they did not apprehend the real meaning of his mission. His teaching is manifested in their urgent hospitality for they must have remembered his words, "I was -trnnger, and ye took me in."

'I he men who collected the data went Into I be dairy districts of thirteen states. The facts were collected from 2.HM herds, nitn ininu U8.447 cows In all. mid coverinl n period of ten years. The records show that cows of a good dairy type returned to their owners an average or $IT.3S per cow above the cost of fee as compared with $2.03 re turned by the cows of a poor dairy type. The cws which were comfortably stnbled made an annual average profit of whereas those kept In un comfortable sta tiles made a profit of only 23 cents above the cost of feed. Those cows which received silage as a part of the ration returned an av erage of l!i cents more for every dol lar's worth of feed given than did the cows which were given no silage. The cows whose owners read good dairy literature produced an average annual profit of $14.54 per cow over and above the cost of feed. The owners who read neither dairy papers nor farmers' bulletins on dairying made only $1.89 per cow. Of these nonreaders 48 per cent actuaJJiJost mouey in the. dairy business. Concerning the results of this cow census exfovernor Hoard says, "The one great and paramount conclusion, overtopping all others. Is that loss of profit in dairying is occasioned In nine cases out of ten by a lack of sound dairy Intelligence on the part of the farmer who is behind the cow." The Guinea Pig as Food. It Is difficult to account for the some what prevalent notion that no rodents are fit for human food, states the ag ricultural department's bulletin on the guinea pig. Because of such prejudice some people will not ent rabbits or squirrels. Probably many others are kept from eating such excellent game as muskrats and prairie dogs. While guinea pigs are seldom eaten In the United States, their uear relationship to rabbits and the fact that they are wholly vegetarian In habits should re assure any oue who may entertain doubts about tbelr fitness for the ta ble. All the wild species of the guinea pig are accounted good game in South America. Hock cavies especially are much hunted in parts of Bra7.ll. While the small size of the domestic spe cies Is probably the chief cause for its neglect as a food animal, yet we have other blghlr esteemed game animals that furnish less meat than a guinea Pig. That there U widespread Interest In the guinea pig in the United States is evident from (be large number of in quiries that the department of agri culture Is receiving in connection with the proper methods of raising this lit tle animal. The bureau of animal in dustry has been experimenting on different methods of raising the pig and finds thai It costs from 00 to 60 cents per animal to raise. This cost could be substantially reduced by pri vate breeders. While there is at pres ent little demand for the guinea pig other thnn for laboratory purposes, the market price ranges from $1 to $1.50 apiece. Those favorably located near cities or institutions requiring large numbers of guinea pigs should be able to establish a profitable business in supplying them. The Peruvian method of dressing the guinea pig for cooking b the one gen erally adopted wherever it is eaten. The animal is killed by dislocating Its neck, after which it goes through about the same process as a sucking pig In preparation for cooking. Its throat Is cut. It is hung up for a few minutes to bleed and is then 'scalded in hot water. The hair is (removed. the skin scraped with a knife, the vis cera taken nut and the carcass wash ed in tepid water. It Is then ready for the cook.

Large organizations have been established In ludiaua. Illinois. Iowa. Nebraska. Ltiib and Idaho. Clubs have also been orgaui.etl in Virginia. West Virginia. Mississippi, North Caro lina and South Carolina. The first poultry club was organized in Virginia ami is nourishing under .1 W. Kiughorne. the department's In structor in the state. The object in fcrming the club was to give a better knowledge of the value and importance of poultry raising and the marketing of a first class uniform product and to tench better methods for the caring of poultry and eggs; also to show the In creased revenue to be derived fror. well bred poultry where proper meth ods of management are pursued. There is a four year course mapped out by the founders, smarting with the setting of fifteen eggs us a unit for the year's work and concluding with a pen of fifty chickens, forty-sis of which are hens and four roosters. Points are given for the number of eggs hatched, number of live chicks, number of cock erels marketed, profit on investment and equipment Some of the state gov ernments are offering prizes for the most proficient students of the clubs in the nature of trips to their capitals, and oue Is now offering a prize of a trip to Washington to see congress In session, visit the president and inspect the department of agriculture. Throughout the year meetings are held iu the states where the clubs are In existence for the purpose of discuss ing the different problems of poultry management. At eacb meeting, when ever possible, the department of agri culture will have one of Its specialists from the animal husbandry division present to Instruct the members on poultry raising, selection and care of stock itud handling demonstrations He will also assist in securing first class markets for the sale of the poul try and eggs. In Instructing the clubs the depart ment says that eacb county club should bold an exhibition once a year, prefer ably In connection with the county fair, at which place a pair of the best chickens grown by eacb member should be placed on exhibition and en tered to compete in the regular class BOITUMADB BOO TEST EH. for premium. An exhibition of the best dozen of eggs should also be made. The department has Issued the fol lowing suggestions: To rid the poultry bouse of mites wash tbe pen, the roost and the drop ping board with kerosene or crude pe troleum at least once a week. Market nil cockerels except those in tended for breeding purposes as soon as they attain broiler size. Petroleum Oil as Adulterant. Tbe department of agriculture has discovered a new adulterant that is being used In the manufacture of bis cuits and wafers containing nn upper and lower crust with a cream filler. This adulterant is made of petroleum oil, and seizures have already been made of products containing such In gredient. The oil is used in connection with sugar and milk in preparation of the cream filler and substituted because it is cheaper than cocoanut oil or butter. Tbe use of this substance In articles of food is regarded as adulteration and in violation of the federal food and drugs act Petroleiiin oil is a lubricant rather than a product containing food value. Wheat, Barley and Oata Abroad. Tbe 1013 total production of wheat was 9.2 per cent more, barley 7.S per cent more and outs 0.8 per cent more than produced in 1012 In Prussia. Bel gium. Denmark.

The principal native grasses which are indigenous, to these coilg are bermuda. John son grass, Lespedeza and Melilotus; but red clover, alsike clover, bur clover and white clover grow readily when planted in the pastures, and the grazing season can be extended beans, cow peas, corn, sorghum and greatly by their use. Alfalfa, soy other forage crops uo well on these lands and produce an abundance of roughage and hay for wintering and fattening the cattle. The red clay soils produce crops very similar to those mentioned for the praiita soils. Cut-Over Iands Chenup. There are grea areas of "cut. over" lands in the South that range in price from 2 to $10 per acre which could be used for beef pro duction. The soil of such lands is usually sandy or post-oak, neither of which are as good for grazing as the prairie or delta lands, but which would furnish good grazing; if a little care was taken in getting pas ture plants started. Oh these soils C&rpet .rass, Bermuda. Lespedezs. white clover, red top. Paspalum diil atatum, and bur clover do exceeding ly well. The carpet grass furnishes abundant grazing on the sandy land (vhile the bermuda does better on the soils which are a little stiff. The paspalum, white clover and red toP1 do well on the damp lands, and if some lime is present alsike clover will furnish fine grazing. The foun dation of all pastures on sandy or sandy loam lands should be carpet grass, bermuda and lespeSezS. Tha variety of forage crops which may be raised on this type of soils is large, and it is an easy matter to grow all the hays, silage crops and forage necessary for feeding tha stock which may te kept on the farm. One of the greatest drawbacks to the cattle industry of tbe South has been the presence of the cattle tick that transmits Texas fever, whick kills many of the cattle and stunts others in growth. The tick is rap idly being eradicated, and it is only a question of time until the South is freed of this pest. ihe. native cattle of the South are cold-blooded scrubs carrying a vari able percentage of Jersey blood. They are small in size and inferior in quality, but they have stamina and the cows produce good calves when bred to a teef bull. Some of these cows weighing not over 600 pounds have given birth to half- breed calves which have developed into 500 to 600 pound animals at 12 to 13 months of age. They usually weigh about 800 to 850 pounds at 2 years of age when raised under average Southern farm conditions. Half-breed calves do not fatten out as well as calves of a higher grade, but If permitted to crow until 2 or 3 years of age they finish out as very good beef animals. The half-breed heifers when bred to beef burs usually produce excellent calves. No section of the country can rais cattle as cheaply as the South, and the variety and prices of feeda. are such that the animals can be econ omically finished for market.
