ECONOMICAL FEEOS FOR LIVESTOCK The Animal Industry Division Feeds Hundreds of Hogs Each Year to Deter mine the Best and Cheapest Rations. Waste, or Damaged Peanuts, Is Valuable As Hog Feed. A fall seldom passes without brings lng with it some rainy weather just when peanuts are in shock and in condition to be dragged. Some year3 the loss of peanuts is exceedingly heavy. Other years it is almost noth ing. When farmers do suffer losses of this kind it is well to know that damaged peanuts are valuable for hogs and that they may be substi tuted for vast amounts of corn and other concentrates. In fact, damaged peanuts are so valuable that they should be thought of as being in a class with wheat shorts, wheat bran, peanut meal, and soybean meal rather than as damaged goods. It my not be so this year, but it has often happened that damaged peanuts realized more as a result of being fed to hogs' than they would have brought had they remained sow ed and been sold as marketable nuts. This test was made upon the Edge combe Branch Station Farm right in the center of the peanut-growing sec tion. One lot of pigs was placed In a small pen and given a ration made up of two-thirds corn plus one-third wheat shorts. A second lot of similar pigs was fed the same amount of corn but damaged peanuts were substituted for the wheat shorts. The pigs in the first lot, where corn and shorts were fed, gained, during the whole feeding period of 149 days .7 of a pound daily, while those in the lot whore I damaged peanuts w?re substituted for : the wheat shorts, gained .8 of a pound daily. The peanuts proved to be su perior, too, to the wheat shorts 'n economy of gains. When shorts were \ employed 7.3 bushels of corn plus 204 pounds of shorts were required to produce one hundred pounds of in crease in weight; when damaged pea nuts were fed only 5 bushels of corn plus 141 pounds of peanuts were re quired to produce an equal increase in weight. Pound for pound the dam aged peanuts proved to be far su perior to wheat shorts. In fact, these damaged peanuts were so valuable as ' a feed for bogs thut they were sold through the hogs, for $1.36 a bushel when corn was valued at $2 00 a bushel and hogs at $16.00 a hundred weight. COTTONSEED" MEAL 'CHEAPENS RATION FOR WORK ANIMALS. Realizing some years ago that the time had come when farmers who raise live stock and employ work stock* must give some heed to the amount and kind of grain consumed by them the State Agricultural Exper iment Station inaugurated some inves tigational work upon the Iredell, th3 Edgecombe and the Pender Branch Station Farms to determine just the place of cottonseed meal in the ration I of a work animal. Some of the work ' animals upon these farms are fed upon a ration made up of corn and hays. Their team mates are fed ex actly the same feed except that the corn is reduced some and cottonseed meal substituted. This piece of investigation is not nearly completed; in fact, it i* T)nly really begun, but still some valuable and definte facts have come to th^ surface. It has been found, for in stance, that no little amount of money is being saved by the introduction of cottonseed meal into the ration. When corn is valued at $2.00 a bushel, oats at 64 cents a bushel and cottonseed meal at $50.00 a ton the yearly ex pense of the feed bill of each wofk animal upon the Iredell Branch Sta tion Farm was reduced $5.38 as a re sult of using even extremely small amounts of cottonseed meal in con junction with corn and oats. When the amounts of cottonseed aro increased and the amounts of corn correspondingly decreased ? and this is to be done soon ? the annual saving will be still greater.- All of the mules are in good health and have practical ly maintained constant weights. It is noticeable each spring, however, that the animals which have the small al- j lowance of cottonseed meal "shed off" i earlier and more uniformly than do ! those eating corn as the sole concen- ; trat<\ DAN T. GRAY, Chief, Animal Industry Division, j West Raleigh, N. C SAVE THE SWEET POTATO CROP * AN EXCELLENT TYPE OF ST DRAGE HOUSE FOR POTATOES. Though North Carolina produces a j good crop of sweet potatoes each year, a conservative estimate places the lo^s due to poor storage facilities at 50 per cent of this crop. Also, through lack of storage facilities prices for pota toes are lowered at digging time by the dumping of more potatoes than the market can care for. This pro duces a shortage from the latter part of March until the last of July when the early crop begins to make its ap pearance. For this reason the Divi sion of Horticulture in co-operation with the National Department of Agri culture is now conducting a campaign to have as many storage houses built in North Carolina as possible. The sweet potato crop this year will be the largest in the history of the country. North Carolina will produce the largest crop in the history of the State, and will thus provide a surplus of a product that will be needed to take the place of other foods which have become high and scarce, owing to the, war conditions. With this large crop on hand the question has arisen i as to the best methods to save all of i the crop harvested. I Experience has proven that storage houses are more to be depended upon j I than the old style earthen banks. Those houses are wooden, hollow-wall 1 1 structures with a special system of ventilation, and may bo constructed I to hold varying amounts from 500 to 1 BO. 000 bushels of the roots at one time. They have proven very sue- J cessful in keeping the potatoes, hav ing been tried both in an experimen- ( tal and practical way, at the Pender j branch station. At this station it j was found that the loss in th* houses was practically nothing, while a third j of the roots were lost when placed in the old-Btyle banks. In some cases the whole bank ha3 been^a total loss, or 20 per cent of the potatoes injured from the standpoint of marketable stock. Many large growers over the State have already manifested much inter est in these houses, many having built new houses or remodeled their old qnes. ThelJivision of Horticulture is sup- ( plvkig, upon application, plans for ( building the houses, and will give advice in the erection and operation of them. It is estimated by Mr. R. G. Hill of the Horticultural Division that the building of houses advocated by his division will mean a saving to the farmers or the community, and will also mean that needed food will be . saved to supply the market that now j cannot be supplied during every year ; from March to July. 1 Extension Circular No. 30, "The Storage of Sweet Potatoes." and j Farmers' Bulletin No. 847, 'Potato' Storage and Storage Houses." will be ' 1 supplied free of charge, as long as i the supply lasts, to all making appllca j 1 tion.

Document Discovered in Old Monas tery in Mecklenburg Describes "Wagons Without Horses" and "Fiery Dragons of the Air." Copenhagen.' ? In the razing of the old monastery of the Jloly Ghost in j WIfsmar, Mecklenburg, an old Bible wua found which contained a remark- | able prophecy regarding the present ' world war. It was written in 1701 by j one of the monks on parchment that Is now yellow and seared with age. It is now on exhibition in a glass case In the city hall of Wisinnr. So much publicity has been given to the pro phecy in the papers of Germany that thousands have flocked to Wisinar to see it. The prophecy not only gives the cause of tlu> war, but also Indicates the countries engaged. Up t9 the I present it has been amazingly accu rate. It does not exactly state that Germany will be victorious, but Indi cates how long the war will last, when the decisive battle will be fought, and where and when peace will come, and udds that Germany will continue to ex ist as a power for many years. A translation of the writing on the parchment is as follows: "When Malignity and Hatred Rule" "Lord, have mercy on thy people de spite the fact that they are turning more and more away from thee; that they are destroying thy monasteries and cloisters and forgetting thee. A time will come in Europe when these people will feel the weight of thy hand, when malignity and hatred will rule. It will be at a time when the papal seat will be vacant, and the conflagration will come as the result of the murder of a prince. Seven na tions will rise against the eagle with one head and the eagle with two heads. The birds will defend themselves fu riously and viciously with their talons, and their wings will protect their peo ples. A prince from their very midst, a sovereign who mounts his horse from the wrong side, will be encom passed by a wall of enemies. His slogan will he 'Onward with God !' The Almighty God will lead him from vic tory to victory and many will meet their death. "There will be wagons without horses, and fiery dragons will lly through the air dropping fire and sul phur and destroying cities and vil lages. The people will turn to God. The terrible war will last three years and five months. The time will come when food can neither be sold nor bought, and bread will be carefully distributed. The seas will be tinged with blood and men will lie in wait un der the wuves for their prey." America's Entry Foretold. Here follows u reference to Ameri ca, which was in those times often re ferred to as the "Qouutry of the seven stars." "The people of the Seven Stars will attack the ring of steel and suddenly fall upon the bearded nation in the rear and rend it in twain. The whole of the lower Rhino will tremble, but ! nevertheless will endure to the end. | "The land to the west will be one ' vast desolation, and the land in the j ocean will, with its king, be crushed and suffer all the pangs of hunger. I The land of the bearded people will still endure for a long time to come, ! and following the war the world will ! be united in one great brotherhood. "The victors will carry a cross, and between four small cities and four steeples of equal height the decisive battle will be fought. Between two linden trees the victor will fall upon his knees before his army, lift his . hands to heaven and thank God. Fol lowing this all ungodliness will disap- ' pear; the indecent dances that pre-] vailed before the war w ill be seen no i more, and God wiU reign in church, 1 state and family. "The war will commence when the grain is ripening and will reach its height when the cherries bloom for the third time. Peace will be consummat- 1 ed by the prince In time for the Christ- ^ mas mass." All German newspapers have com mented on this amazing prophecy. | , "It Is remarkable," says one paper, ' "how accurately this monk has predict- 1 j ed events as they have thus far occur- 1 , red. We sincerely hope that the ] longed-for peace will come, as he says, j 1 in order that we all may breathe free ly again." || Woman Worked as Farmhand. ! , Louisville. ?
