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

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

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.

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.
