The great sounds Of North Caro lina, some salt and others fre>h, have from the earliest history of this country been notable as chan nels for interior navagition. Al bemarle sound is the largest body of fresh wjter iu this country out side the Great Lakes. . George Washington saw the im portance of tlnse sounds and of their connection with the water wavs around-Norfolk, ami out of this grew the Dismal Swamp canal. In 1856 Sylvanus T. AlKri publish ed a re| ort in a Wilmington paper in which be dwelt on the value of the Notth CaroHua sounds as channels for interior navigation, and iu 1873 he placed in charge by the Wat Department of a geo graphic il division between Wash ington, D C., and Wilmington, N. C. Many ropoits written by Abert will be found between the >ea-s 1873 IS9O, among these one ot particular interest being ot} a canal to connect the waters of Norfolk harbor with those v of Cape Fear iTmtat Wilmington- Congress on the of March, 1907, passed a bill which carried the improvement and construction of the inland waterway from Pam lico sound to Reautort iutet, by a canal, etc., ten feet in depth- The amount provided Jot thAt work ua ssso CXX>. - The work of survey began in June, 1907, and on.the 4UI of .Sep tember, 1908. the contract with the Mary land Dr-dging and Contracting Company was signed.

Why We Should Feed More Cotton seed Mear Corn is a good hotse feed when used wit|i certain other feeds that will supply the lftitrient. protein, iu which Corn is deficient. To.sup ply this deficiency, we have the richest and cheapest feed known to-day, and yet, through prejudice, habit, ignorance, or carelessness, we presistently refine to use this Southern feeding stuff in th£ feed ing of our horses and muiesl We refer to cottonseed meal. Bvery horse and mule now receiving 14 pounds o| corn a day should have that amount reduced at least 5 pounds, and 3 pounds ®fecottonjeed meal, or probably what is better, cottonseed cake, substituted It is established beyond \doubt, both through scientific consideration and by actual practice, that 9. pounds of corn and 3 pounds of cottonseed meal will give better results than fourteen pounds of corn, espec ially when the long forage is corn fodder or any of the grass hays. The extra trouble, of feeding tbfe cottonseed meal, whigh is probably the true reason for our failure to use it, would be w*ll paid for in the increased value of the manure; and the saving which would result in the cost of feeding the horses and mules of the South, with corn at 60 cents a bushel and cottonseed meal at S3O a ton amount to over s2o,ooo,ooo_annually. To this gain vye can safely add better health and at cent greatly efficiency in the work required of our work stock.— Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farm er and > -r- » - _ —-: 7 ; WILLIAMSTGN, N.
