? 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- ;

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

AMERICAN ENTRY FORETOLD !
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." ||
