LCMBERTON MAN DIES IN BLAST j Walter Inman Instantly Killed Byj i ‘ Gasoline Eplosion. ■ Lumberton, Dec. 12.—Walter In-1 I man. mechanic, was instantly killed i[here this afternoon when fumes in i a gasoline tank belonging to the Gulf Refining company ignited from an acetylene torch used by the un fortunate man in -brazing n defective part of the tank. Clifton Inman 15-year-old son of I the deceased, was standing a few j , f ( et from, his father when the ex plosion occurred, but'was uninjured. [ Hugh Hornes. nine years old, wan J slightly burned and thrown about eight feet. He was very nervous late this afternoon and said he could not explain how it happened. He re membered that he was standing very cose to Mr. Inman "before the ex plosion and that he was lying under him ten feet away after sometainjf happened. , The tank had been/taken from a truck on account of a-Jeak, and sev eral local inechani(B had tried ,to repair it. It was tested again today with gasoline and found leaking, after which it was carried to Mr. Inman, who, it is reported, did not wash out the. gasoline, but did add several gallons of water. As soon as he applied the torch the ignition ’took place. Os such force was the ex plosion that half of the tank was blown (10 feet across First street and one of (lie ends sent hurling through the air to the top of a building 30 feet away. It is believed this part of the tank struck Mr. I Inman? His clothing was badly torn, nfs watch, found about 50- feet*, from' where ho was standing. The crystal gs his watch was shattered, but the mech anism was not damaged- Tile sound of the explosion, which oeeurred near the heart of the busi ness district, was heard on the out skirts of the town. Deceased was about 50 years old and /leaves a widow and several chil dren.

D. Goodman) * I************** 'I Wbat Shall Compose the Milk Cows Ration This Iflnter? | This is a question that is giving the I milk producers located in the drought stricken area of the state much con jcein and one that will be difficult for j tbe cream producers to solve satis . fnetorily. Under normal conditions ] the answer would be a liberal supply, of legume hay and grain fed in pro portion to the milk produced. Legume hay is one of our best and most economieal dairy feeds and should be fed liberally when grown. . However, the question that must be j settled by the dairymen located in'die drought area of the state where the | production of legume hay was very I small, is will it pay to purchase nnd (■feed liberally this hay at the present ! priqe or would it be more economical to increase the grain portion of the ration and supplement the legume hay with a cheaper roughage. With legume hay costing around s3*> per ton, a pound cf nutriment can be secured from concentrates at a much lower cast than from this hay, therefore if it was not necessary for the cows ration to be bulky in,order to meet the demands of nature, it would be the part of economy not to feod any hay this winter. However, since a cow’s digestive system is so constructed as to require n bulky feed the only way to meet this require ment and still reduce t'.ie cost of the ration will be to supplement a por tion of the legume hay feil with a cheaper roughage such as cotton seed hulls. I have never considered cotton seed hulls to be very valuable as roughage for milk cows since it contains a very percentage of crude fiber. In spite of this fact, a pound of digestible nu trient in hulls, at the present'price, will cost less than a pound secured from Alfalfa hay. This being tbe case, and since one of the main ob jects in using roughage is to secure bulk in the ration, it would seem ad visable for these dairymen who will have to purchase their coarse feed to use about one-halt eotton seed hulls and one-half legume hay. In substituting bulls for legume hay it must be kept in mind that the total nutrient content of the ration has been reduced therefore the grain portion of the ration must be slightly increased to offset the nutrients will be derived from grain and at a much lower cost than is possible to secure them from legume hay. The bulky portion of the ration will be partly obtained from,cotton seed hulls ami at j a cost of less than one-third of what it would he if obtained entirely from Alfalfa hay. For those dairymen who have home grown oats the following grain mix ture is recommended to be fed in connection with the roughage men tioned above: 1. yOO pounds crushed corn sjiops.

On a farm where home grown oats are not available, the cost of the nu trients contained in the grain mixture enn be slightly reduced by substitut ing linseed meal for crushed oats and making the following changes in the mixture: • 400 pounds crushed corn or corn chops. (100 pounds cotton seed meal. SOO pounds wheat bran. 100 pounds linseed meal. 10 pounds salt. A liberal supply of minerals is very essential for milk cows at all times and since the mineral contents of tin's ration has been reduced by sub stituting eotton seed hulls for a por tion of legume hay, which carries a high percentage of minerals, it will be advisable to keep a mixture of equal parts of air slacked jime, liard ■ wooil ashes and salt in a convenient place so the cows can consume it when *l*u'e<l. The above reeohimendations con cerning roughage are made to meet tbe conditions which confront file dairymen this winter and are not to be followed under normal crop years when aV least one and one-half to two tons of legume hay should be grown for each cow in the herd. Present butter prices should offer encouragement to cream producers. September butter prices were around ten cents above those of tbe same month in 1024 and ,Hiis difference was increased two to three cents during October. WILL TRY TO PROTECT DUKE HOSPITAL FUND Carolina Governors to Seek Aid of Mr. Simmons in Lifting Inheritance Taxes I Raleigh.

They scoot around dark streets at night, and feel like criminals trying to get by somehow uqtil January 1, when they think they will be able to get licenses for the last half of the year j at half price. “It is amusing, for before they can get license they will have to produce evidence of title, which necessarily shows the date on which the car was purchased. The license will cost them according to that date, regardless of when application is made.” The Spy “Ret me see your tongue, little boy.” ordered the doctor.
