CKOF' BULLETIN
Of the North Carolina Climate a2d
Crop Service.
The week ending 8 a. m. Monday,
April 26th, was favorable for farm work,
but the cold weather up to the 23d re
tarded growth of crops. The heavy
frost did much damage to vegetables
and fruit, and the fruit crop will be
practically a failure. There was a large
excess of sunshine and no rainfall,
Warm, gentle rains are much needed to
bring up seeds.
Eastern District The unfavorable
feature of the week was the cold weath
er and heavy frosts on the mornings of
the 21st and 22d, which did very
great damage. The week was very dry
with an excess of sunshine, and the
latter part was quite warm. Bain is
needed to make corn and cotton start
off, 'and to moisten the soil which is
getting hard. Farm work progressed
favorably and most farmers are up with
their work. The frost did the greatest
damage to truck and garden vege
tables, especially peas, beans and po
tatoes. Irish potatoes and some early
sprouted sweet potatoes were cut down
to the ground, but may grow out
again, though shipping of crop will be
retarded. A little corn and cotton was
killed, -and much corn yellowed.
Planting a large crop of cotton is
progressing rapidly though interfered
with by dryness. Some tobacco plants
have been transplanted. Farmers are
preparing to plant peanuts.
Centraii District. The past week
was find for planting and plowing; but
the land is now dry and hard, and work
still behind to some extent. The weather
has been unfavorable for growth of crops
on account of the frost early in the week
and the general dryness; warm showers
are much needed. The frosts in this sec
tion were quite heavy, the temperature
falling below freezing at many points,
with formation of thin ice. Vegetables
were killed Irish potatoes, much
fruit, especially huckleberries and
melons. Young cotton was cut
down. Even grape vines suffered con
siderably. Wheat, rye and oats were
not materially damaged. Corn plant
ing is nearly done, except on uplands;
the crop is coming poorly. A great
deal of cotton was planted, and plant
ing is in full swing. Cotton damaged
by the frost is being replanted. Prep
arations for transplanting tobacco,
though now too dry; plants generally
plentiful. Some chinch bugs reported
in wheat fields.
Western District. A full week's
sunhine and no rain made conditions
very favorable for farm work which pro
gressed very rapidly, but rain is now
needed to bring up seeds, as the ground
is getting hard" and baked. The frosts
did comparatively less damage in this
district, except to fruit. Early Irish
potatoes and some vegetables damaged,
and much additional fruit killed.
Late orchards in western elevated
counties are still safe, and plums,
peaches and apples now in bloom. Corn
planting is well advanced and some
corn coming up; bottom lands now dry
enough to plant. Much cotton has
been put in and some is up. Oat sow
ing in northwestern counties about
over; rye is beginning to head. Irish
potatoes are up and sweet potatoes
sprouting. Dry weather is keeping
garden crops and newly seeded grass
stationary.
In the making of books, which seems
to have no end, a good many authors
affect strange and out of the way titles
to their productions which often fail to
give any insight as to the nature of the
story. But for curious titles the early
English reformers deserve the palm.
Some of them were very remarkable,
especially those relating to devotional
and controversial subjects. One was
entitled the "Sweet Swallows of Salva
tion," and another, which nflght have
been written by some pious baker, bore
this tile: "Somew Fine Biscuits Baked

The following extract is from the
"Makers of the American Republic,"
a series of patriotic lectures by David
Gregg, D. D., pastor of La Fayette
Avenue Presbyterian church, Brooklyn,
N.Y. Published by E.B. Trsat, 5 Cooper
Union, N. Y. :
"Four years before the battle of Lex
ington the Presbyterians of North Car
olina resisted the oppression of the
British crown as unjust. The Governor
of the colony treated them as outlaws,
and sent an army against them and
shot them down, and took captive and
hung thirty of them. This was the first
blood of the Bevolution. It is known
in history as the War of the Regula
tors. Bancroft says of it: 'The blood
of the first rebels against British op
pression was first shed among the set
tlers on the branches of the Cape Fear
river.' This was May 16, 1771.
'See the results of this. One year
before the Philadelphia declaration of
independence the Presbyterians of
Mecklenburg, N. C, met together and
publicly issued their declaration of in
dependence from the rule of Britain,
Here is one sentence of that declara
tion j 'We hereby absolve ourselves
from all allegiance to the British crown,
and do hereby declare ourselves a free
and independent people. ' The men
who issued this Mecklenburg Declara
tion were the men on the walls of whose
homes hung the National Covenant of
Scotland, which many of their ancestors
had signed. Thus yon see that the
famous and historic covenant of tirey-
friars Churchyard formed the rugged
and solemn background of American
liberties. 'It can be said without
much fear of challenge that Seotch
blood flows through every principle in
the declaration of independence, which
Eorms tne foundation of freedom.
"Bancroft says, in writing of the
Mecklenburg Declaration, which ante
dated the Philadelphia Declaration one
whole year. 'The first public voice for
dissolving all connection with Great
Britain came not from the Puritans of
New England, nor from the Dutch of
New York, nqr from the planters of
Virginia, but from the Scotch Presby
terians of North Carolina.
"Wallace Jiruce, a man with a
double Scotch name and a double
Scotch nature, our honored consul to
Scotland, puts Bancroft's eulogy into
verse ana in these fitting words honors
the event of Mecklenburg:
' 'Manhattan and Plymouth and Jamestown
i an Doast or their heritage true,
But Mecklenburg's lame is immortal
When we number the star in the blue;
The Scotch-Irish Purit m P ithers
First drafted the words ot the free,
And the speech of Virginia's Henry
Is the ciown of our liberty's plea."

The common belief that flax is a
wonderful exhauster of soil has been
abandoned to a certain extent at some
of the experiment stations. It is
worthy of note, however, that in for
eign countries where flax is grown ex
tensively, intervals of five to nine
years are allowed to elapse between
two crops, and in some cases niteen to
eighteen years before flax is again
grown on the same sou. In the system
of rotation, clover is regarded as a
very essential crop, some flax growers
claiming it should precede the flax,
with no intervening crop. A recent
Oregon experiment station bulletin
presents the following rotation as one
ot the best : One, wheat ; 2, oats and
barley; 3, clover and grasses; 4, clo
ver and grasses ; 5, corn and potatoes ;
6, flax. The object of the cultivated
crops is to clean the ground of weeds.
New England Homestead.
EXTRA FEKDINO TWIN IiAHB3.
. Not long ago a farmer remarked that
he did not see much advantage in hav
ing ewes that bred twins. The extra
lamb, he remarked, took, part of the
food needed for one after the second
week, and caused both to be second
class, and perhaps' not worth more
than one in prime condition. No
doubt this estimate was correct so far
as his experience went, but it simply
showed that the farmer was not alive
to the opportunities which twin lambs
gave him. All lambs should be fed
something besides their mother s milk
after they are two weeks old. In the
case oi twin lambs this is especially
neceesary. At first the feed should be
of the simplest character and not of a
kind to tempt the appetite. A small
wisp of clover hay, all the better if of
second-growth clover, is enough to
begin with. When this is eaten greed
lly, as it probably will be, and after a
few days a gill of whole oats per day,
given half at morning and half at
night. To this may be added after
awhile a teaspoonful and ultimately a
tablespoonfnl of oil meal per day.
When this is eaten without injury add
to the clover hay ration all the lamb
will eat clean. In this way, with the
addition of its mother s milk, two
lambs from a ewe can be grown with
better results than one lamb can which
depends only on its mother's milk and
what hay it can pick up while running
with its dam. What is more, twin
lambs thus reared will make thrifty
sheep, and will be good feeders all
their lives because at no time has their
digestion been injured by being
starved or stinted in their food.'

If money is to be made from cows it
is essential that they be milked at reg
ular hours morning or evening, says
the Patron s Bulletin, and the nearer
the time is divided equally the better
it is.
It is also advisable to milk them in
the Bame order every time ; it prevents
them from fretting. Personally I have
found no satisfactory result unless 1
managed to make friends with the
cow, or, if you please, induced her to
look upon me as an "adopted calf 1
While pure food and water are essen
tial to the production of perfect milk,
it has been proven that many of the
taints which we thought were intro
duced in the milk while it is elaborated
in the cow are due to direot contami
nation from the dust of dried urine
and excrements as well as of the fod
der itself in the stable. When the cow
converts the food into bidod and then
into milk, most, if not all, of the im
purities are separated in that wonderful
filter the kidneys and the germs are
found not in the milk but in the urine
and excrements. A healthy cow fed
clean and healthy fodder and water
will always produce perfect milk. We
have been fooled, as, for instance, by
the fact that milk from cews fed on
turnips had a turnipy flavor, but care
ful experiments have shown that this
flavor was produced by a bacterium
found on the turnips and in the excre
ments and introduced in the milk di
rectly by dust falling into it while
milking in a stable where turnips were
fed while milking or shortly after, or
where the excrements had a chance to
dry and float as dust in the air.
These facts make it clear that we
should not feed the oows while milk
ing, and should not clean the stable
just before milking, as the dust then
raised may, drop in the milk. Nor
should we keep a stock of such fodder
in the stable.
Of course there are certain weeds'
such as leeks, rag-weed, eta, which
will taint the milk as produced in the
cow, and too much of certain food wil
affect the milk in various ways. Thus
more than two pounds of linseed mea
per cow will make the butter soft, and
so will rape-seed and peanut meal
while more than two or three 'pounds
of cotton-eeed meal will make it hard
and like stearine.
CONSERVATION OF SOEd MOISTURE.
In the discussion of subsoiling, the
statement has often been made tha
porous sandy land is injured more
than benehted by deep stirring, writes
Professor J. L. Budd, Iowa. This is
undoubtedly true, but the best sous
for horticultural uses m the prairie
states are those with a large mixture
of clay, whioh pack readily nnder the
pressure of the plow and the tread o
the horses in the farrow. A well de
fined crust is formed at the bottom of
the farrow, which holds the water o
heavy rains, forming little rivulets
that not only carry, off the moisture
but tons of the very finest and best
soil particles. Even the favored Loess
soils of Iowa soon show this crust un
der the plow,
A peculiarity of western climate is
lessening of orchard and garden yield
by a shortage of earth moisture when
the orop is maturing. During the
past four "years premature dropping
and ripening of apples was the result
of too little water in the lower levels
reached by the - feeding roots. As
orchard fruits do best on high lands,
with more or less slope for the drain
age, the loss from surface drainage of
water is more apparent than on those
places nearly IeveL In a dozen places
coming under the writer's observa
tion, crops of fruit and grains have
grown during the past fonr years on
hilly slopes, part of the land being
subsoiled and part given common
plowing. On the subsoiled part not a
trace of water gullying could be found,
nor was any loss of fine earth particles
apparent. On this part the fruit was
arger, smoother, later in maturing
and not subject to premature drop
ping. In corn, oats and other crops,
the gain in- quantity and quality was
equally apparent. In the common
plowing by its side, after every rapid
ailing shower.little gullies were every
where seen, carrying off water which
the subsoil needed and also the richest
part of the soil. At harvest the les-
sening in size and yield of fruit and
grain was easily apparent. In the
nursery during the same period, root
grafts of the apple, pear, cherry and
plum planted in deeply subsoiled;
trenches grew into healthy trees, with
moisture ever present under the dust
mulch of cultivation. On the other
hand, root grafts planted with the
dibble or common plowing showed a
poor stand, slow growth and more
than the usual amount of leaf curl and
blight. This trenching under the
rows seems in practice to give quite as
favorable results as breaking the crust
over the entire surface.
In preparing for orchard planting,
harrow tho field smoothly, run the
ifter or subsoiler where the row is to
be Bet and to a distance of four feet
on each side. This gives a mellow
bed to the depth of usual planting,
into which the water from rains will
flow to wet the subsoil and by seepage
the whole orchard surface. Even on
relativelv flat land, where it is re
garded best to ridge up the rows for
surface drainage, subsoiling in the
lines of the rows is far better than to
dig hills into the compact earth. In
fields subsoiling for strawberry plant
ing or for any small fruits, it is best
to harrow smoothly and then run the
subsoiler from the surface down at
least fourteen inohes nnder the row
and at intervals of eighteen inches
apart over the whole surfaoe.
PLANT TOUR TREES IN AUTUMN.
All frnit trees, except the peach and
all the small fruits except the black
cap raspberry are best planted in the
autumn, and the earlier after the
leaves fall, the better. The advan
tages of fall planting may be summed
up as follows :
1.' Nurserymen have fuller and bet
ter stocks of trees in the autumn
when the sales begin. The best are
sold first, and later orders are filled
with the material whioh remains on
hand. Sometimes it is impossible to
have an order for certain varieties
filled in the spring, all of that stock
being sold. There is frequently ob
served a marked superiority in stock
received in the fail.
2. If trees are properly planted in
the early autumn almost every one is
sure to live and thrive the next uea
eon, while of those planted in the
spring a considerable per cent, will
die the first year. The explanation is
that during the warm days of autumn
the trees become established in their
new locations. Having no leaves they
do not need moisture as they do in the
spring, ine eartn becomes com
pacted about the roots, which form
callusses over the cut and torn ends,
and even begin to emit small rootlets
before the winter sets in, so that on
the earliest warm days of spring the
young orchard is ready to start off to
make a full growth..
3. Another reason for fall planting
is that the nurserymen then have more
time to dig and pack the trees, and
there is less liability of errors, which
are very provoking when discovered
after the lapse of eight or ten years
when the tree begins to fruit. The
planter, too, has more time to properly
do -the work of planting, so that all
orchards planted in the autumn have
a better chance of succeeding.
Strictly first-class trees and vines
should always be purchased. Other
qualities may live, but they will gener
ally come to bearing so far behind
first-class stock that more will be lost
than is gained. To illustrate this:
Some years ago the writer purchased
a thousand third-class currant bushes.
They nearly all grew, but failed to
fruit the second and third years with
any degree of profit, so that the loss
was considerable. So with pear and
apple trees of the second-class more
will die and the remainder will be
longer in coming into bearing.
Nurserymen often advocate the
planting of very young trees. This
will do if the trees are to have garden
culture, but where trees are to be
planted in an orchard and will receive
only ordinary care the larger tree,
three or four years old, will stand
much the better chance of living and
early fruiting. Always order straight,
thrifty, clean and healthy stock from
the nursery, and- insist that it be
guaranteed free from all insect and
fungus diseases.
Alter the trees are planted pull the
earth up around each one to support
it against the winter winds. In ex
ceptionally windy places it may be
advisable to stake each tree, but
orchards should not be planted in suoh
locations, for the fruit will stand but
little chance of remaining upon the
trees 'to maturity. New York Trib

From Vie Leader, Cleveland, Ohio.
Of the list of the many so-called Incura
ble disorders none has proved to be more
of an enigma to the most learned and ac
complished physicians than locomotor
ataxia, or as it Is more commonly known,
creeping paralysis. This dread disease has
baffled their skill, and they have been
forced to admit that they cannot suoceas
fully cope with it. All they have been able
to do is to mitigate the accompanying pain
and suffering; beyond this the science ot
medicine has been of little or no avail to
the many unfortunates who have con
tracted the dreadful malady, which, many
people, especially those who are thus af
flicted, believe is a forerunner ot the grim
messenger of death.
Thomas P. Bigg, who lives at No. 1073 St.
Clair Street, corner of Lawrence Street,
Cleveland, O., has been suffering from
locomotor ataxia for nearly five years, and
nothing but his wonderful vitality has pre
vented his dissolution long before this. -
The malady is directly attributable to hit
exposure during army life. He enlisted in
the Third Regiment Ohio Cavalry in To
ledo, and served nineteen months in the
volunteer service, and after the close of the
rebellion, eighteen months in the regular
army. "At first," he said In narrating his
experience, "my stomach went back on me
and for six weeks I was laid up in a hospi
tal in Texas. Ever since that time that or
gan has caused me trouble, and about
seven years ago the doctor told me X was
suffering from acute indigestion. That
was bad enough, but four years ago last
July paralysis came on, and I have been
nstng these crutches ever since. The pa
ralysis was in my legs, and it came rather
suddenly. I notice, at first that my knees
were a little stiff, a sort of rheumatic pain,
you know. This quickly developed Into
naralysis."
l trtea an tinas oi remeaies, ana x tnea
physicians, but I did not Improve. All this
time, though, I was holding my own
wasn't getting any worse. A short time
ago I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink
rills. I did not expect this last venture
would prove any more beneficial than the
others which proceeded it; but I am pleased
to say that I was most agreeably disap
pointed, vt. winiams' rink itjus are sim
ply wonderful.' I began to use them two
months ago. My legs then were perfectly
numo ana coia notning couia warm them.
After suffering with paralysis for more
than four years, I now experience a com
fortable feeling of warmth la my lower
limbs. I tell you I feel like shouting when
x think of escaping from my bondage, and
my mind is on the subject pretty muoh of
the time. I intend to continue the use of
the pills until mv legs are as good and use
ful as they were in their best days, and I
zeei that will be soon.
"What effect nave the pills had upon
your stomach?" Mr. Bigg was asked. "As
regards that," said he, "you can readily
believe that a stomach which has been seri
ously out of order for thirty-five years is in
bad shape. Nothing used to stay on my
stomach, ana X was subject to violent fits
of hiccoughing. Then I would have to take
an opiate to get to sleep. But now I find
that food stays on my stomach, though X
do not suppose that organ will ever be in
first-class shape again. Still I am satisfied
to think that Jt is improved to such a degree,
and that I can eat with a feeling of ease."
For six years until a month ago, October,
1890, Mr. Bigg kept a stationery and con
fectionery store at No. 817 East Madison
Ave., directly opposite the Madison Ave.
Sohool. Ue sold out his business and can
now be found at any time at No. 1073 St.
