H. SMITH A tax on dogs and a county farm loan of a maximum of $250 arc said to bcTeatures of a bill for the pur pose of encouraging sheep husbandry in Jackson county, that has been | drafted and will shortly be introduc ed by Representative Will II. Smith. The chief feature of the bill which i is primarily designed to aid the es tablishment,, of the cattle and sheep industry in Jackson is a fund winch will be administered by the bo^rd !of county commissioners through the commissioner of finance, and will li.e used to make loans to farmers who : will cigar their mountain land and sow it with grass for sheep and eflf | tie. A maximum amount for each : individual loan of something like ! $850 will bo fixed and the security I will be a lien on the property in | the same manner that taxes const i ! tute. a lieu. j Representative Smith is of the j opinion that such a bill will aid materially in the development of cat j tie raising, particularly beef cattle1, and also sheep* In regard to the latter one of the provisions of the bill will be a tax on dogs and the requirement 1 list dogs be kept on the premises at night. Each sheep killed by a dog will be paid for by the county at the amount it is assessed for on the tax books. > .... The whole bill is being prepared with suggestions from the state and county farm agents and experts and one of the provisions of the loan will be that it must be expended accord ing to directions given by the farm agent. 1 | A bonus for purebred sires will bo offered and other steps taken to en courage the cattle industry.

A WORMY PIG PAYS NO PROFIT " "V ? i ? ? 1 s s.' ? ~ '?> / - ' JtHI. round worm which infests man}1 swine herds of North Carolina is cost ing the growers of J his Slate more money than the combined losses from cholera, thumps, pneumonia and oth er common swine diseases. ''The reason ? why this is true, is that most of us think any place is good enough to raise pigs in," says YY. V. Hays, assistant swine special ist at State College. "Most growers overlook the need! for sanitary meas ures in the hog lot, yet an infesta tion of worms 111113' be prevented by a little care. When the sow is ready, to farrow, put her i:i a place where hogs have not been kept. Give tlie under part of her body a good scrub bing using soapy water and a fiber brush. Some mild disinfectant in the water would not hurt. This will re move the worm eggs attached to the mother's body. Now place her in the new quarters and the result will he a pleasant surprise to the one who has not tried this plan." * The next best thing to do, says Mi'. Hays, is to worm the young pigs. There arc specially prepared j worm capsules that may be used. For best results in using these, the stom ach and intestines of the pigs should be empty of feed. Give all the water the pigs . want. T11 some cases it 'is wise to give a laxative dosei of epsotn salts in a thin slop before putting thei animals 011 the fast. This fasting period should last 24 hours after, which the medicine is- administered. One capsule for a weanling pig and two for the larger shoats will do. Af ter eight or ten hours, #ive another dose of salts in a thin slop to wash out the worms. j Mr. Hays says, .this form of treat ment is being followed by progressive hog growers in a number of North ' Carolina counties and thqse menj would not attempt to fatten pigs now ! before treating thorn, especially i f j there is any evidence of woriils. * CARD uT THANES We wish to express our sincere ap preciation for the kindness sfiown hs during our sad bereavement^ in the lo,ss- of Our son and brother, Bill, and for the , beautiful floral offer ings. . , V ...

SCHOOL BOYS HELD r FOR REMOVING SKELETON ? v +'f ? ? - v. ?- A most unusual ?ase was that tried before Magistrate M. Y. Jar rctt, of Dillsboro, last week when Jack Hall and Floyd Jones, students at Webster High School, wero found guilty of a trespass and taxed with the costs, on a warrant sworn out by Joe Cabe, charging them of en tering his premises and removing a human skeleton, without his permis sion. Some of the teachers in the school appeared before the justice and told . hini that if any law had been broken,! they were as much responsible as the. boys. It developed that something i was said in one of the classes at the Webster rschool about a skeleton lor 1 use in the scliool work and that the boys told their teacher thev coufd i ? > get one. Some time as:o, when grad ing Was being done on Highway 285, the steam shovel, working on the Cabe Hill, unearthed a human skel eton, and the contractors placed it on Mr. Cabc's farm. The two boys, knowing of this, got the skeleton and : took it to their school, a short time ago, and Mr. Cabe procured the wav i rant on a charge of trespass.

The oW home jfarni was not so profitable When. they jlelt but a wise lather added 1'arni machinery, thereby increasing his profits and the two sons left their Well paid jobs in the steel mills an-| eanie back. This, briefly, is the story of Er nest ami O. P. Bellamy of Bruns wick eounty a^s told by A. T. Hol inan, agricultural engineer at - Stat 1 Coll cure. "It whs in 1922, that these two young men decided that tho farm was offering them- nothing but eternal - drudgery and poor pay," says Mr. Holman. 4 ' TJiey secured jobs in tho steel mills of r lie Pitt,sburg district lind were doing well. This left the father, Sir. .1. S. Bellamy, and' on* son to carry on the farm work of tho farm. Mr. Bellamy was |>hysicaHy unable to do much manual labor so he made an investment in easily handled farm equipment. He purchas ed a three-horse riding plow, a num ber of harrows, and the necessary planters, fertilizers distributors an,} vveeders. With Thi,s equipment and the aid o! the remaining son who lived on an adjoining farm. Mr. Bell amy proceeded to plant and cultivate lour times as much land as the four men had handled in previous years. Not only was this land handled mate efficiently but better returns per acre were, seemed.". .. The hoys in Pittsburgh were told of the new developments and so they returned. They invested what money they had saved in farm land gidjoin ing the old place and began farming according to t lie "hew plaib Now the four exchange labor anjil cooperate in handling their machinery and crops. As a result all arc making more money then they ever did audi the four farms are paying their owner?. Much of the drudgery has been eliminated, .says Mr. Holman, and lho> farm is more attractive now than the steel mill with its long hours of confining labor. ?1 ? ....
