WILLIAMSTON, N. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST i.joa.
Clover Scothcred by Planer;
It is very easy to destroy clover
by covering H with coarse manure
at my season of* the year. The .
I large leaf of the clover dies down |
very quickly if not allowed access!
to light. But if manure has been 1
, partially rotted and is spread on
clover in fall or early winter, frost
. will ro pi:lvcrize it that when rolled
or harrowed, as clover always
should be in spring, the lamps of
I mannre will become scattered and
, benefit instead of injuring the crop.

Dairy Ccws.
J Tl:e farm hand who knows how
to r.silfc properly is more valuable
to the ca> iful dairyman then any
other help. To milk a cow requires
time and patience. The milk
should be druvn slowly and steadi
ly. Some tows have very tender
teats, and if you want a well dis-
posed cow lie gentle in your treat- j
men! toward her, an she is.ratnral
ly impatient and does not like
rough handling. With constant
irritation she will fail a quantity of
milk. As the i"dde-r becomes filled
-with milL- she is auxious to be re
lieved of its contents, and will sel
dom offer resistance without a
CtUSC.
When a patient cow become*
fractions «e can alt-ays trace it to
the milker. Note th.«: We should
not allow cows to stand along time
waiting to bt milked. Wkw caws
fhw a luge quantity of milk His
wttj painful when the u "Wer has
filled to the utmost; theref. «c cans
fag them to become very • wrvous
and icAn. Tb delay mill ing at
the propg time will do m, ore to
cause a cow to go dry befon* her
period than anything else. She
should also be milked to the ta*
drop, if peeribh, for the last p jr
tkMtof milk is mid to be the ric h
eat. Still another point: There ai »
nauy ways of conducting a dairy. •
Among them is feeding wholesome
food, such as wheat bran and corn
meal. Always be careful to keep
the cows well salted, protected from
bad weather, giving kind handling,
careful milking, regular feeding,
clean stabling, fccod ventilation
and plenty of pure water. In some
sections we have what is called bit
ter weed, which cows are fond of,
causing the milk to become so
ranch affected that it is hardly fit
for use. I find tliat by giving the J
cow about two tabk-spocnfiiLs |
a - ,
sugar at each mei.l for two or
j three day* the milk is entirely re-
I iieved of the bitter taste. —G. 13.

Spark! 7k Pairs Stack Fast
There is much indignation among
the young residents of the Morris J
neighborhood section of Bloomfitnf,
N. J., oVsir 9u work of a practical
joker who recently poured tar all r
along the coping of the stone s
bridge over the Yantacaw river at
Franklin avenue near broad street. ■
The bridge is a favorite trystlng
place for young people. It was
warm that night and the bridge «
was filled with young women and »
their escorts- All weut well until S
one of the couples thought they '!
would like some ice cream. As
the young man attempted to jump :
from the coping his head went
forward, but the rest of his body
refused to follow.
He-tried again and this time
there was a ripping sound. The
young man put his hand behind
him and made for cover. When
the young woman tried to jump
down she found herself also stock.
Most of the young couple discover
ed that they were in the same fix.
A crowd gathered and guyed them.
The bridge presented a curious
appearance late in the evening with
its bits of feminine and masculine
apparrel stuck here and there. — ]
