V'r,.,, U ,m PLANT VELVET BEANS IN WORN PATCH They Not Oaly Improve tW Fer tility of the Soil Bat They Alto Produce Maxima Yield Planting velvet beans in the corn is one of the best ways of improv ing the land and at the same time getting the maximum yeild. The velvet bean is not an untried plant, but has been planted and grown successfully for snveral years. The bean can be planted in the corn as soon as it is up well, prefer ably, when it is 4 to 8 or 10 inches high. The vines will not get in the way before you lay the corn by. At thU season of the year plant the speckeled variety, which is the round shaped bean with dark specks, ' also called the 100 day bean. It will take about 120 days or a little / more to mature, and a bushel will , plant something like three acres. Put 2 or 3 beans to the hill between every two stalks of corn. They can be dropped in place ahead of the plow and it will cover them. The fodder cannot be pulled, but the beans make an excellent feed when ground into meal; ana tne yeild of com is not affected. The vines which stay green until frost, can be grazed on all the fair and winter by cattle and hogs, and then turned under to enrich the soil. Any feed grinder that will grind corn will make meal out of the beans. I advise every farmer to plant 1 them in hisj?rn. If you are afraid 1 of them plant only a few acres and give yourself a chance to see. I 1 know every man likes to see for himself. " 1 E. R. Raney, Farm Demonstrrtion Agent, Bertie i CwrfflJ"-6?? ? GUINEAS FORJHE FARM If better known by the average lady in charge of the poultry^ oper ations on North Carolina farms, a small flock of guineas would be kept by evep' farm in the state, says Dr. B. 'F. Knapp, Poultry In vestigator for the North Carolina Experiment Station. The guinea is an excellent protector against hawks, crows and other enemies of the poultry yard. Long before these enemies reach the yard, the shrill penetrating cry of alarm from the flock will speedily- rout them and send them away in headlong haste. The least suspicious noise, at night, is also quickly noticed and any animal or other disturber soon learns that it means discovery to go into the yard where guineas are kept. The only great objection which may be raised against them is their wild nature. When properly raised, however much of this wild instinct may be eliminated. It is a good idea to buy the eggs, when begin ning with a flock, rather than to buv the old birds. These eggs should be hatched by a hen, and when hatched, it is a good idea to give the old lady a few chick? to carry along. These wtll mind her, and will cause the young, wild guln? eas to follow their example. It takes four weeks for guinea eggs to hatch. The young birds are . very active arid as they grow up will destroy many insects about the farm. They should be fed In about the same as turkeys. The guinea hens are very prolific ami lay during the entire summer taking good care all the time to carefully hide their nest. It is quite an easy matter to find them by the peculiar noise made and when the flock has been watched, it only takes a a few minutes to lo cate the nests. In the summer they like to roost in trees nearthejiouse. Their flesh has a flavor simBar to game, and is re|ished as a great table delicacy.

LIBERTY LOAM BONOS PATRIOTICJIUS SAFE The patriotic nature of an invest ment In the Liberty Loan Bond* of 1317 is something that all Ameri cana will consider. The fact that in purchasing such a bond the invest or is lending money to his Govern ment?to his oountry?to prosecute a great war, giving the Investment a dignity that the ordinary In vestment does not posess. The uses to which the money is to be put, the noble purposes to which it is to be devoted, ail are things which ap peal more or less to the American heart. '? But let no onebe led by these considerations to look on buying a Liberty Loan Bond as a piece of benevolence or merely a contribution to a Worthy cause. The Liberty Loan Bond is as good an investment as an American citizen can well make. The rate of interest it bears may seem small, but when its abso ute safety is considered and the fact that it is nontaxable, and the furth er fact that it iH immune from any taxes which later on may be levied by reason of thia war, and still an other fact that in case the United 7 m Hill NEWS An entertainment was given at Mars Hill May 25, for the benefit of the school. The door receipts were thirteen dollars. The audi ence wan highly entertained ?by "That Rascal Pat." in which Charles Pearce proved himself a gifted and skillful comedian. "Mrs. Hy H. Honeycutt showed herself a gifted imuersonater, and reflected credit upon the College of which she is a graduate. She prov ed her dramatic power in the Bal cony Scene in which she impersonted Juliet, while Miss Annie E. Pigg acted the part of Romeo. In "Too Late for the Train," she very vivid ly portrayed the impatience of Mr. Mann, while in "Our Two Opinions," she showed herself equally capable of presenting pathos. Mrs. Honey cutt will give readings at Ahoskie June 1, at 8:30 p. m. Admission 25 and 10 cents. r On June the 9th, at 8:15 the clos ing exercises of the "Community School" will take place. Aside from a few exercises of the chil dren, there will be remarks by Supt. Early and an address by Judge F. D. Winston. The public is in vited. Ice cream will be served af teP the exercises.

There will be vocal and instrumental music, string and piano selections, reading and a fun ny play. Come out and see "Pat." You will like him. A large crowd attended the bur ial services of Mrs. Britton at her old home nearby. Bro Tom Speight conducted the service. His daugh ter, Margaret, well beloved teacher at Mars Hill, accompaniM him. Do all you can to build the new school building. Remember: It is, act on June 19, oir Mars Hill High School Fund is gone forever. Vote Right! and your great-giandchil dren will bless you for it. States Government should later during this war have to borrow more money and pay a higher rate of in terest, that the holders of these bonds can secure bonds bearing that higher rate?when alf things are considered, an investment in Liberty Loan Bonds possesses advan tages that no other investment in the world possesses. There Is another point which wise and thoughtful people will give due consideration to and that it an in vestment in Liberty Loan Bonds is an investment in the defence and peservation of a II their other prop erty and all the hold dear?the pres ervation oftheir liberties. We would be In danger if our citizens refuse to lend their money to the Government, of losing 4TI that we have?our property, our liberties and our national honor. It has come to this, that we must fight for these things, andto wage war in this day ijtnd time requires not only men and arms but great sums of money. Subscribers to Liberty Loati Bonds are charter members of a society to maintain American honor and to maintain democracy here and in other parts of the \#orld. Honor and interest, patriotism and busi ness judgement all argue the wisdom of an investment In Liberty Loan Bonds.

Address R J. CHENEY * CO.. To. ledo, Ohio. Sold by all druggists, 75c : J SAVE THE HOIS FBI CHOLERA Farm Demonstration Agent of Bertie County Urges Far mers to Protect Hogs from Dreaded Disease?Invites Full Co-operation. Hog; cholera is the moet dieaded and causes the lose of mora hogs than any other disease affecting domestic animals. It is an infec tious an<J communicable disease, being caused by a very small germ getting into the body. The symptoms of the disease are an elevated temperature, refuse to eat, seem to have chills and huddle together where there is several sick ones in a pen, or stand off where there is only one sick pig, stand with back arched, breath quick ai-d shallow and at first there may be constipation but this is followed bv a frequent action of the bowels Poet mortem appearances: These are not satisfactory where the hog ? has been dead for sometime. There will usually be found pink or red spots under the skin of the belly ?J U-i *?-- LJ-J I * " uciween uie nina legs, niufr cutting open there will be found a lot of little congested blood vessels under the fat of the neck. The nat ural color of these blood vessels is a light pink, but in cholera they ire dark "blood shot" looking. The kidneys have small specks on them giving the appearance of a turkey egg. The spleen, which is also called the malt, usually has these specks. The lining of the lungs cavity is full of blood clotted look ing glands, also the glands on the outside of the guts may have this same appearance. All these symp ton do not occur in every case but some or all of them will always be present. There are two treatments, (1) Serum alone and (2) Serum | Simul taneous or double treatment. The Serum alone treatment only im mui.es the hog from cholera for from four to six weeks. This is the only treatment to give after the disease has gotten into the herd. The Serum Simultaneous treatment consists of giving thfe hog some virus blood which gives him a very light case of cholera, and at the same time giving some of the serum to overcome this. The Serum Simul taneous treatment Immunes the hog from cholera for life when given to a hog larger than fifty pounds in weight. A small pig will out grow it. v* Serum u the blood taken from a hog immune to cholera. Virus is the blood taken from a hog that has cholera. Any farmer can get the serum from the State Veterinarion at Ral eigh and give it, but he cannot get the virus or give it unless he has a liscense from the veterinarian, it will cost about twenty cents to vac cinate a pig weighing leaa than fifty pounds, from fifty to-one handed pounds will cost about forty cents, from 100 to 200 will cost from fifty to sixty cents, and from 200 to S00 and above "wi 11 cost about seventy to eighty five cents. These are close estimates for either treatment. The virus does not cost the farmer a cent, but when given, the dose of serum is increased. When you are having trouble with your hogs, crops or anything else on the farm call'on me and I will be glad to help you. I am here with you and want you to use me. E. R. Raney, Farm Demonstration Agent, Bertie County. To The Public "h have been using Chamber lain's Tablets for indigestion for the past six months, and it affords me great pleasure to say that I have never used a remedy that did me so much good."?Mrs. O.
