BUBSCRIBB FOR THE GLEANER 11-00 A YBAR THE RURAL PRESS _ r -•"% I The Local Paper a Most Usefu' Agertcy oto the Farm—The Pre'*, Pulpit and Bchool a Trinity of Influence That Must Be Utilized In Building j' , - Agriculture. _ - i ' - j : By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union • A broad campaign of publicity on the subject of rural life is needed In this state today to bring the problems of the farmers to the forefront. The city problems are blazoned upon the front pages of the metropolitan dail ies and echoed In the country press, but the troubles of the farmers are seldom told, except by those who seek to profit by the story, and-the glitter of the package ofttimes ob scures the substance. A searching In vestigation into the needs of the farmers will reveal many Uiherent de fects In our economic systebi that can be easily remedied when properly un derstood and Illuminated by the pow- . er of the press. The rural press, the pulpit and the school are a trinity of powerful In fluences that tho farmer must utilize to their fullest capacity before he can j occupy a commanding position In pub-1 lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are organized In every rural community smd only await the patronage and co operation of the farmers to fully de velop their energy and usefulness. They are local forces .working f oy the best Intercrts of their respective communities. Their work Is to build and their object Is to serve. They prosper only through the development and prosperity of the community. Every farmer In this state should subscribe for the local paper, as well as farm periodicals and such other publications as he may find profitable, bnt he should by sJt means subscribe for his local paper, and no home should be without it. Tbe local paper la part of the community life and the editor understands the farmer's prob I ems. It is the local press that will study the locsl problems and through Its columns desl with subjects of most vital lmportsnce to locsl life of tbe I community. A Noble Tssk. In too msny Instances the country pspers mimic the city press by giv ing prominence to scandals, accidents and political agitation. The new rural civilization has placed upon the ural press renewed responsibilities, nd enlarged poaslbllltles for useful oss. It cannot perform Its mission JO agriculture by recording the frail ties, the mishaps and inordinate am bitions of humanity, or by filling Its columns with the echoes of the strug gles of busy streets, or by enchanting stories of city life which lure our children from the farm. * . It has a higher and nobler task. Too often the pages of the city dailies bristlo with the struggle of ambitious men In their wild lust for power, and many times the flames of personal conflict sesr the tender buds of new civilization and illuminate the path way to destruction. The rural press Is the governing power of public seutl ment and must hold stesdfsst to principle snd keep the ship of state in the roadstead of progress. The rural press can beet serve the Inter nets of the farmers by applying its snerglee to the solution of problems sffectlng the locsl community. It must stem tbe mighty life current thst la moving from the fsrm to the cities, sweeping before It s thoussnd boys snd girls per dsy.

FENCE FOR SHEEP PASTURES All the Extra Care and Feed Given to the Farm Flock Generally Yields Qresteet Returns. (By E. L. SHAW.) The lots and pastures upon a sheep farm require considerable fencing. Lack of adequate fences haa been one factor in the decline of the sheep In dustry in many localities. A woren wire fence Is the cheapest and most satisfactory, all things considered. If it must be dog-proof the mesherf should be close enough together to prevent the dogs passing through, and it should be at least five feet high, which is a desirable height for all out- Hinged Panels for Temporary Lamb ing Pens. side fences. Care should be taken In putting up the fence to see that the wire is close enough to the ground to prevent dogß from crawling under It For temporary fences there are a number manufactured from 32 ,Jp 42 inches high. A 36-inch fence is very satisfactory, and Is used extensively.* An advantage of wire fencing is that neither sheep nor dogs will Jump It so readily. Barbed wire is undesirable, except at the top, because the sheep tear out their wool upon the barbs. Hurdles are a great aid In handling sheep under certain circumstances. They are convenient In paaturlng on rape and similar crops where the sheep are to be confined to a portion of the field. This is desirable In that it prevents the sheep picking out the choicest pasture first and leaving the poorest for the last when, as a matter of fact under fattening conditions, the best should be available. * Fencing off part of the field in this way also makes more frequent the rotation of pasture. In England net ting has largely taken the place of hurdles. Both cord and wire netting are used, the netting being fastened to temporary stakes by ropes or staples. Sheep farming In this country has not been Intensive enough to warrant a very extensive use of these appliances, but they will be more In evidence in the future. Hurdles or panels are very convenient In making temporary pens. Light hurdles that can be handled readily should have a place upon every sheep farm. They are well worth their cost Every sheep owner should be prepared to make pens for his sheep on short notice. After lambing, some ewes refuse to own their offspring. If left loose the lamb wanders about, becomes lost among the flock, and loses Its char acteristic smell by which the ewe recognizes it. She may then refuse to claim It, and the trouble begins. By having some panels or hurdles at hand the ewe and lamb may be quickly placed by themselres and a close watch can be kept upon them to see that all Is well. The length of time they should be kept In t&is claiming pen will depend upon how long It takes the ewe to become reconciled to her lamb. If the ewe persists In butting the lamb away, she Psnsls and Braeas for Making a Port able Shssp Fence. - should be tied so as to allow the lamb to suck. This soon brings about agreeable relations between the two. This is but one of the emergency cases where It Is adrantageous to hare portable panels handy. 'Temporary pens are conrenlently made of some light material and consist of two sides that are hinged together, and set up In a corner of the barn -or a fence corner by the means of hooks. Rows of these can be placed along the sides if necessary. They bare the advan tage that they take up little room and they can be removed when not in nse. Sorting pens and lots are very useful, especially If the flock Is of any con siderable size. It Is often desirable to separate the different classes of sheep. A number of pens should be avalUbls for this purpose. A chute, with'a gate that swings either way. saree much time and trouble In separating the sheep. Portable pan els are rery useful for this purpose. Files Bothsr Shssp. Watch your sheep for an hour or so some warm day when the flies are har assing them and you will understand why sheep sometimes fall to gain even en the best of pasture, SUPERIOR HOUSE FOR SOWS Indivldusl Cot Affords Protection From Infectious Olsessss—Can Be Easily Moved. We deelre to make a plea for the Individual bouse. We like them for the sow and her brood especially, it has the advantage of keeping each sow from being disturbed by the oth ers. Neither will hw pigs get lost and wander Into other pens where the? may rob other pigs or stand a good chance of being Injured by the sow. Then there will not be so much dan ger from infections diseases. When the surroundings become foal the cot > can be removed to another place. Of i course It may msan more work for the ' owner to attend the sows separated i In different housee scattered about the place, bat It will be better for the farmer to do the extra work as he will I eare enough In the health aad growth of his young pigs to more than pay htm for his efforts. The'building of the Indlrldaal cot should be consid ered. There should be a window for light and sunshine, also a side door that can be lifted on warm days tor ventilation. For this reason we Uk« the« A-ehaped house best 6f an. a small window can be pat In one end Just over the door and a hinged door placed on the side with little trouble. The frame -for this cot can be mads of 2x4 material and the sides can b« sheathed, papered aaf covered with flooring. This makes a warm cot foi winter use. We prefer the dirt floor With woren wire stretched on top tc keep the sow from rooting. If the floor is well bedded with straw it will be soft and easy on the sow and hei brood. Some farmers pat concrete .Individual Hog House. floors to these houses, but they art hard on the feet and bodlea of thi hogs. They are'also cold and gathei 'dampness. This may mean the deatt .of the entire brood of pigs, and eowt are liable to take cold by lying oi them. If concrete be used it should tx covered with plank, tearing a spac between the plank and concrete of at Inch or two. But board floors are ex pensive and short ilred. It is wis* to whitewash the Inside of the hoi house, as it disinfects the house an adds materially to the light. The sun light will reflect from the white walli to the floor and do lots of good. MANAGE SHEEP ON PASTURES Where Grazing Is Plsntlful Animal) Can Feed on What le Moet Pala table to Them. The ideal wjay to manage aheep oi pastures is to Ik.. e them graze one pas ture down reasonably and then pu them on another pasture until the flrs springs up again. In this way, says i writer In Homestead, the pasture ii kept fresh and sweet But In practis It may be frequently Impossible to d this. Howerer, where the rearing a sheep Is an Important part of the farm er's business it can be done to somi extent. When pastures get far ahead of aheep they should be grazed down if possible with cattle. In such a condi tion the sheep will not grass down ths grass that has become rank and woody. By preference they will feed upon those parts where the grass is short. In such places It Is shorter and sweeter than elsewhere. Where it is not practicable to graze it down with cattle It ought to be mowed If pos sible. Whether it should be left to mulch the ground or drawn off should be determined by the quantity of the grass and its value for hay. When thus cut off fresh and nutritious grass springs up In its place. Some object to grazing sheep with other stock. Much depends upon the way In which this Is done. If the pas ture Is large and not in any way over stocked, there is probably no objection to the plan, but, should the pasture be overstocked or should the sheep be rel atively too numerous, then the cattle will be worsted in the grazing. Sheep eat more closely than cattle and can do well on shorter pasture. Where the grszlng is plentiful sheep can feed upon what Is most palatable to them and the cattle eat what they relish most Sheep will eat off many weeds that cattle avoid and in this way they help to clean the pastures. „ For winter grazing long pastnres are the best They are best for the reason that they protect the grsss underneath, so that when the sheep are grazing they get some grass with more or less succulence In It. along with what Is dead. • NORTH CAROLINA NEWS BRIEFS.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson Vl. —First Quarter, For Feb. 7, 1915. ' THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Tsxt of the Leeeon, Ruth i, HI Memory Vortoo, 16, 17—Golden Tout, Ruth I, 16—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Steerne. . We have Just one lesson In this beau tiful stor.v of Ruth. Imt we will seek to Rather uiHiiy tiling fro'n the whole j story. The first and lust uumea to the book. Bethlehem and David. are two . of) the most suggestive In the Bible. -No man's nnrae Is mentioned so often aa David, and his la the first and last name of ii mere man l:> tlie New Testa ment. Bethlehem, beside® all the oth* | er Interesting facts connected with It, j will nlways be of siiecini Interest as the birthplace of the firstborn son of Mary. Jesus Cbrigt our Lord. Ruth Is one of the four women meutloned to Matt. I among the nnoestors of the son of David. Some one has said that the four chapters of tills book might be en titled Ituth decldlitK—.gleaning—rest ing—rewarded. I The dcrol ion of Ruth Is an example 1 of the devotlou to Jesus Christ, which | Is expected of all believers. Her pa-1 tlent gleaning In the field of Boaz has j In It an gxample of the patience and faithfulness which should be seen In | every Christian. Her quiet expectation ; of some vreat result at the suggestion of her motl;er-'in law makes us think . of the assurance that the meek shall 1 Inherit the earth When we see her as the wife of Boaz. the owner of the field In which she had so patiently gleaned, i we cauhot but think of the time when] the church, the body of Christ, the' company of all the faithful gleaners of this present age. shall become the bride of our mighty man of wealth, the owner of the field, which is the world, and then we shall Inherit all things with Hin» and reisu with Him on the earth (Rev. xxl. 7: v, 10). That Naomi nil 1 her husband and sona should lenve Bethlehem because of a famine and go to xojou'i In Moab seems like the misstep which Abram made when he left Canaan because of a famine and went down to Egypt, for he only got Into trouh> there, and we read of no altar unto the Lord until he returned agalu to Bethel (Gen. xil, 10; xiil. l-4t. Poor Naomi found trouble enough In Moab In the loss of her hus band aild two sons, but she seems, to I acknowledge that the going to Moab was her affair, while It was her gra clous l.ord who brought her back t« Bethlehem. "I went out full and tb • I-ord* hath brourht me home ogal empty", (chapter 1.'211. She turned h steps homeward because she hear«. that the Lord had given bread to Beth lehem (verse lil. The wandering boy of Lnke xv turn ed homeward when he thought of the bread In !Is father's Mouse. It seems ns If we should, be ever telling to the perish hi: of the I read, and to spare, In our leather's house, for how can they bear unless some one tells? Naomi knew the God of Israel. These wom en of Moab must have learned jof Him through her. and Ruth bad learned to know IHtu well enough to forsake all for Illm. esteem Him more than her own people and her father's bouse. Orpah had not so learned to know him. If our testimony Is what it should be and our life He will use us to gather some to Himself. The devotion of Ruth in the ever memorable words of verses HI. 17. are In a measure repeat ed by Ittal to David In II Sam. xv, 21. The words In lerse 10. "So they two went," are foiflid In II Kings 11, 2, 4, 8, 7. 8. 11. tuid there again we see a steadfast purpose on the part of Eltsha which brought to him that which his soul desired. This Is the steadfastness which we so greatly need (I Oor. XT, 68). The friendliness and thoughtful kind ness of Boaz in chapter it are but a faint type of the loving kindness of our Lord Jesus, who can truly say, "1 know thy works," etc. (li. 11, 12: Rev. 11, 2. 0. 13, 10). If. as His redeemed oues, we have not recognized many "handfuls of pur pose" aa we have gleaned In the part of the Held He has assigned as, we most be blind indeed (chapter ii. 10)... The words of Boaz In Ruth ill, 11, "Fear not. my daughter; I will do to thee all that thou requirest" made a great im pression upon my wife, aa we aaw them In a motto In the T. W. C. A. at Cap* Town, South Africa, in 1808, and we bare often passed them on to oth ers since then. There is also much comfort in the words of Naomi in chapter lit. 18, "Sit still, my daughter, * * * for the man will not be In rest until he hare finished the thing this day." In chapter iv Bonz aa the kinsman redeemer, hating the right to redeem and accomplishing the same, is won derfully suggestive of our Redeemer, who not only redeems us. but also our Inheritance, the earth, and seals as with the Holy Spirit, the earnest of oar Inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession (Kph. 1, 18, 14).
