Making the Little
Farm Pay
By C. C. BOWSFIELD
Next to having a comfortable home

farm success In lii securing a steady
Increase of acreage profits. Many pro
gressive landowners, especially those
occupying small places, have caught
the vision of this kind of farming.
Tho corn crop the country over aver
ages about thlrty-flvc bushels an acre,
giving a gross return not above $24
and a net profit of about sls. All
grain farming Is on tho same level,
sometimes returning a little more prof
it and often considerably less.
Capable farmers grapple with this
problem of raising acreago profits In

various ways. Nstu rally the llmt idon
Is to Improve the method* of cultlva
tlon—to rotate crops, build up soli fer
tility, use great care with reed and put
In o little extra work all alone the line
Those who think of an improved sys
tern and arc determined to get oat of
tho rut will (ret results In proportion
to their skill anil efforts. Expansive
Ideas will couie wltb the disposition to
do things.
Kor Instance. M. 1). Crow of Audu
bon county, la., secured acreage profits
of nearly $l7O by combining corn, rape
and hogs as a farm feature. lie had
formerly raised corn at sl3 to S2O an
acre. Home difference! Just before
he laid by bis com In Juno two years
ago he sowed liwarf Essex rape broad
cast In ten acres of It, using five
pounds of seed |er sere. The cultlva
tor covered It. .and about six weeks
later 170 spring pigs were turned luto
this ten acre field. They remained
there until early winter, wheu the corn
had been cleaned up and the rape kill
ed by free*ln g. Wheu winter came be
found he bad a numerous bunch of
thrifty half grown bogs with nearl)
unappeassblc appetites and a surprls
lug capacity for further growth, lie
fed tbem coru. mill feed and tankage
juutll March, when they were sold at
f7.no per 100 pounds, bringing $2.-
640.73.
t'p to the time they were sold these
bogs hsd consumed 2.100 bushels of
com, valued at 40 ceuts |ier bushel, or
SMO4; also mill feed slid tsnkagc cost
ing $140.90. Thus their totsl feed bIU
wss $944.30, leaving s profit of sl.-

of an experiment Inst year brought
similar result*, so that tbl* farmer has
demonstrated a method of making hi*
corn return an arreage profit far be
yond what people ordinarily dream of.
Eight experiment* with rape «nd
corn have been conducted at tbe low*
station, with results strikingly Ilk*
those obtained by Mr. Crow. By aver
aging the results of these experiment*,
using precisely tbe ramo value* for
pork and corn a* wero given by Mr.
Crow, it is found that the average pro
duction of pork per pcre was 3.515

$288; that the nvernxe cost of corn and

Senator Vest On The Dog. '
The following i» a copy of the.
speech In full made by Senator Geo.
C. Vest in a damage suit against
a man for killing his neighbor s
dog.
Gentlemen of the Jury:
The best human friend a man
has in the world may turn against
him and become his enemy. His
son or daughter that he hm rear
ed with loving care may become
ungrateful. Those who are nearest!
and dearest to us, those whom wo
trust with our happiness and our
good name may become traitors to
their faith. Tho money that a man
has he may lose. It fii.s away from
him, perhaps, when he needs it
most. A man's reputation may oe
sacrificed in a moment of id con
sidered action. The people who are
prone to fall on their knees to do
us honor when success is with us
may be the lirst to throw the stone
of malice when failure settles its
cloud upon our heads. The ona
absolutely unselfish friend that a
man can have in this selfish world,,
the one that never deceives him,
the one that never proves ungrate-'
ful and treacherous, is his dog. J
A man's dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep on
the cold ground where the wintry
wind blows and the snow drifts
fiercely, if only he may be near
his master's side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer. He
will lick the wounds and sores that
come in encounter with the rough
ness of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as ilcf
he were a prince. When all oth
er friends desert him he remains.
When riches take wings and repu
tation falls to pieces, he is as con
stant in his love as the sun in its
journey through the heavens. If
fortune drives the master forth an
outcast in the world, friendless aau
homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of ac
companying him, to guard against
danger,, to fight against his Aiemius,
and when the last scene of all
comes, and when death takes the
master in bis embrace and his bod.\
is laid away in the cold ground, n»
matter if all other friends pursue
their way, there by the graveside
may the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, hiß eyes
sad but open in alert watchfulness,
and true, even in death.

How Deep it Beauty ?
" vVhen women are planning home*
they look always to beauty and con
venience and rarely ever to safety,
said a woman recently in conversa
tion with a representative of the
State Insurance Department. And
that statement covers a multitude
of causes for fires in homes. Many
beautiful and expensive homes 4¥e
erected every year in North Caro
lina which attract attention to the
casual observer while a more mi
nute examination would reveal the
fact that the mansion was a verita
ble fire trap.
One instance was presented to a
representative of thhe department
a few months ago. A home costing
about ten thousand dollars was
erected in a small town in the
State. It was the "talk of the
town." In fact it was the most
beautiful and convenient home in
the town. But inside the house
there was a large chimney which a
few feet from the floor level went
of at an angle of about 45 degrees,
and the angle was braced with a
piece of pine scantling. The chances
are that the settling process of that
house will leave a crevice in the
chimney at the angl?, and it is a mat
ter of time or a matter of luck
aLto how long it will before that
house is destroyed by fire. It will
burn, and the chances are it will
be reported among the large num
ber of fires of "undetermined ori
gin." As a matter of fact, it
should be classed as one of those
caused by criminal negligence.
When the planning is being done
1t is Just as easy to arrange ior
safety and at the same time for
convenience and beauty. WitHout
Cue safety, the convenience and
beauty "are but transient things.
As in the case oi human be
ings, whee "beauty is but skin
deep," in homes and all buildings
beauty extends only so far as safe
ty accompanies it.
Equipment for Fighting Men.
Clothing and camp e juipmant tor
the first million men of the new
mies will be delivered by Septem
ber 1, the tentative date of the mo
bilization of the first increment of
the national army. A statement is
sued by the War Department says
that adequate supplies for all the
National Guard and and National
Amy will be available when the
troops are called out.
The Department has already
equipped 300,000 men, National
Guard and regulars, and the troops
in France have with th*m stores to
last six months. The main short
age was in tentage material, but
tents for more than half a million
men will be ready September Ist,
which is more than will be needed
by then.
The statement explains also that
National Guard requisitions are not
now being filled, as it is necessary
to clothing supplies
and see that only men who are fi
nally accepted for service in the
Federalized force are outfitted. Af
ter the Guardsmen are assembled in
their armories or a State mobili
zation point to be drafted into the
Federal service clothing will be is
sued to them.
Expert advice to make plenty
of preserves this summer will
cause many a small boy to regard
Mr. Hoover as a special friend.
Belgium for the Belgians and
Alsace-Lorrain for the French
will be demanded by a sense of
justice in the woald.
Assurance that National Quard
officers drafted into Federal ser
vice who are capable of passing
required examinations, will not be
displaced bj regular army officers,
was given the military affairs com
mittee of the House of Congress
by Secretary Baker.
A report from Geneva, Switzer
land, says Admiral Alfred von
Tirpitz, former Germau minister
of marine, has arrived at St. Blais,
in the Black Forest. He is suffer
ing seriously from diabetes. Von
Tirpitz is the man who is charged
with being largely res{H>usible for
Germany's unrestricted subma
rine warfare.
A. L. Howell, a patient at the
State Hospital at Morganton, com
mitted suicide by banging. His
home was in No. 10 township,
Cabarrus county. Was 58 years
old and is survived by his wife
and ten children. Had been in
the hospital about three months.
During a storm on the 9th light
ning set fire to a barn on the old
John Finley place, in Wilkes coun
ty, and killed two horses. The
fire was extinguished before the
barn was burned.
