Scott, Conover and Hudson Woman's Institute The Farmers': Institute for Baa ' dolpta County met in the Courthouse at Ashetro last Thursday morning st 10:00 o'clock; The first speaker on the program was Mr. K. W. bcott, manager of the Institute party, of Alamance county, , fHis subject wm "How to Build up a VVornout farm." He laid special emphasis on the need of more live stock on southern farms, i Mr. Scott is the owner of 3 most up- to-date farm ia Alamance county, on which he keeps all kinds of stock : and poultry sdewp, goats, cows, hogs, turkeys, cnickens, ducks, geese, guineas, and raises hie own farm horses. Mr. Scott told in en interesting manner how he had done on his farm How he had filled up gulleys, widened out his ; fields bv destroying brier patches and old field pines, The next speaker was Mr. J. A. t?'t- Conover," the " cow;- man,-" - United States Department of Agriculture, Raleigh, N. 0. Mr, Oonover's sub ject was "How to Get Better Live V'Jptock on the ;. FarmJL. Among the ' ways he suggested were selecting the , very best only for breeding purposes, ,. and by feeding better and taking more care of those we already . have. He, like Mr. Scott, urged the need " i of more live stock. - Mr. Conover gave some interesting -i and practical points in regard to ? dairying, tie said mat $buu.uuu i was annually sent out of the State for butter, cheese and other dairy ' prudncts. A vast sum is also Bent ' " away. for salt meats.- Mr. Conover ; had statistics ' to show that fifteen small towns in North Carolina in - one year imported 3,000,000 pounds of meats. An immense sum is also . sent away for stocK feed, all of 1 which besides the meat, batter, and s cheese should be raised at home. Mr. Conover also gave valuable instructions for making the best quality of butter and putting it on ; 1 the market. First of all he said it f was necessary to, have a cream sepa- rator, which will save from. 5 to 15 y-pounds of butter per cow each year. ( Then h ; said that nearly everybody al lows cream get too ripe before churn ing. Cream just before churning ' should have only a mild degree of ' i acid and should have a velvety ap- ' pearance. Mr. Conover prefers the barrel churn. - The temperature is another important matter. Even the owner of one cow Bhould have a dairy thermometer. ' In summer, the proper temperature fir churning is about 63 fiegrees; in winter, 66 de grees. The work of churning Bhould stop when the grannies of butter are about the size of wheat grains. The - buttermilk can then be more thor. ' washed out and the salt evenly dia tributed. The butter should be wash two or three times and th salt added jwhile the butter is in the granular state. , The paddle or ladle should always be nsed for working butter..; .The hands should never touch the butter if it is not to be sticky and greasy. Four or five times u enough to work it, after which the butter is ready to be printed . The square or brick print is best accord ing to Mr. ConoTer. Before sending the butter to market it should be r: wrapped in a good quality of parch ment paper. Mr. O. R. Hudson; of the United States Department of Agriculture, was the last speaker. He is the "corn man." For years , said Mr. Hudson, many southern farmers have been buying corn at a dollar a bushel when they could have raised it for 25 cents a bushel. Two (important things Jo be rembered are (1) that a big crop of corn cannot be raised on a shallow Boil; (2)that a big crop can - be grown on a deep soil. In order to get this deep soil and properly dis tribute the rain fall, the land should be broken to a depth of 8 or 10 ' inches in the fall or early . winter. " The . next thing is, to get humus (vegetable matter) in the - soil by , : sowing peas or clover. Without hu iv. mus, the soil is, only sand and clay. Cultivation until, the corWis'10 or 12 inches high should be . shallow, 1 otherwise the roots will be' destroyed and the feed supply cut off. ' '. Mr, Hudson says that the. farmer ia wasting his labor when he pulls fodder, Bince ty it the corn loses as much in value as the fodder is worth. manure. He says that for every dol lar paid for stable manure the farm er gets back 120 per cent. . The selection of seed corn is an other important matter. Every season, 40 or 50 seed corn meetings are held and the farmers are begin, niog to see the need of good seed corn. Seed farms .are also beiu es tablished in different part) of the state. , The priz3 of one dollar offered at the Institute for the best ear Of sted corn exhibited by a Randolph farm er was awarded to Mr. Troy Red ding, of Back Creek township. ' The Woman's Institute also met in the courthouse at Asheboro on August 11, at 10:30. a. m. Though notnearly so many ladies were present as ought to have been those who did go were interested and instructed. The fir3t speaker was Miss' Edna Reinhardt, of Lincoln connty. who talked on preventable diseases and beautifying the home. Miss Reifl hardt is an interesting speaker and has her heart in the work she is trying to do for our country homes. Miss Jospehine Scott, of Alamance county, next made a most practical talk oa "Home Canning." She told of the best ways of preserving for winter use1 all' kinds of fruits atta" vegetables. Miss Scott also called attention to the great danger in the common house fly. -.Io.lhe afternoon, the Woman's Institute joined force! with the School Betterment Association, which meeting Miss Reinhardt ad. dressed.
