ANSWER: Honey must be com pletely cured before it is removed from the hive and containers must be perfectly dry before honey is placed in them, according t<> W. A. Stephen, Extension Beekeeper at State College. Nectar gathered from flowers contains large amounts of water. Bees store this mixture and then proceed to. eliminate the surplus water by fanning their wings and thereby causing air currents with in the hive. Incompletely cured honey will ferment within a com paratively short time. Likewise even a lew drops of water may cause honey spoilage. Bees will not cap cells until the honey has been properly cured. QUESTION: Does nitrogen in-1 crease the feeding value of grain? ANSWER: According to tests conducted at Stflte College, the, protein content of corn, which is one index of its feeding value, has been increased as much as 4 1-2 per cent by nitrogen fertilization where dry weather limited yield response. Under good moisture conditions, where yields were in creased .by 88 bushels per acre the protein content was increased only two per cent. In another experi ment where dry conditions limited yield increases to 33 bushels per acre, the protein content was in creased four per cent. Thus, under dry conditions, some of the added nitrogen was recovered as in creased protein in the grain. QUESTION: How can I treat a cow for bloat? ANSWER; According to Leland I. Case, in charge of Animal Hus bandry Extension at State College, the condition may be eased by drenching with as much as 12 ounces of raw linseed oil. Exercise or tying the animal witn the head high will sometimes bring about a release of the gas pressure. Another method of relief is the placing of a round smooth stick in the animal's mouth. A rope or strap is attached to both ends of the stick and tied back of the ears. This causes chewing, salivation, and the release of gas, thus at least relieving the condition until bet ter remedies can be applied. In severe cases the use of a trocar to puncture the paunch may be necessary. A qualified veterinarian should be.secured for this opera tion where possible. 8T JOHN'8 CATHOLIC CHUflCH Schedule of Masses Andrews, 2nd Sunday, 8 a. m. Bryson City, every Sunday, 8 a..m.

A?The guaranty of a loan by Veterans Administration under the provisions of the Servicemen's Re adjustment Act (G.I. Bill) is an agreement between a lender of money and VA that in event a vet eran fails to nay his loan, the Gov ernment will pay the guaranteed portion of the loan.? Q?If I can't meet payments on my guaranteed loan, is payment by the Government a gift to, me? A?No, payment bv the Govern ment of your guaranteed loan is not a gift. It must be repaid, and if the Government pays the guar anteed part of the loan to ihe lend er, you arc obligated to the Gov ernment for that part of the loan. Q?I have a lender who will lend me the money I need, but he wants additional security. Does the law allow him to ask for security? / A?Yes. This is a matter be tween you and the lender. While Veterans Administration does not require that additional security be given, it does not object if the vet eran is willing to give it. Q?I am a widow of a World War II veteran and want to buy a home. Can I obtain a guaranty of loan? A?No. The privilege is limited to veterans of World War II. Q?Can I obtain a guaranteed loan to purchase household fur nishings? A?No. DR. WALTER L. CUTTER ti Chiropractic Physician CHRONIC DISEASES Phone 143?Over Leader 8tore SYLVA, N. C.

SYLVA GRANITE and MARBLE WORKS FARM ACCIDENTS TAKE GREAT TOLL During the one hour you take for dinner each day, two farm residents will be accidentally killed and 205 injured, according to David S. Weaver, head of the Agriculture Engineering depart ment at State College. In giving these facts that were found by the National Safety Council, Prof. Weaver advises the use of good common sense in keep ing down the accident tolls this year. In 1946, about 4,500 farm work ers were killed and approximately 300,000 farm workers were in jured. During, the same year it is estimated that motor vehicle deaths to farm residents increased about l,000vOver 1945. Unless extra precautions are taken this year, one out of every 10 farmers will suffer a disabling injury, either on or off the job. One out of every 350 farm families will suffer the pain and sorrow which accompany accidental deaths. Fifty-two farm people will die as a result of accidents every day, and a disabling injury will strike some farmer in the United States every minute. How can farm accidents be pre vented? Farm safety is particularly a family affair because, unlike the urban dweller, the family is so closely associated with tne actual operations of farmings Common Kidneys Must Work Well For You To Feel Well 24 hours every day. 7 days every week, never stopping, tne'kidneys filter waste matter from the blood. If more people weto aware of how the kidneys must constantly remove sur plus fluid, excess acids and other waste matter that cannot stay in the blood without injury to health, there would be better understanding of why the whole system is upset when kidneys fail to function properly. Burning, scanty or too frequent urina tion sometimes warns that something is wrong. You may suffer nagging back ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic pains, getting up at nights, swelling. Why not try Doan't Pillal You will be using a medicine recommended the country over. Doan't stimulate the func tion of the kidneys and help them to flush out poisonous waste from the blood. They contain nothing harmful. Get Doan't today. Use with confidence. At all drug stores. D0ANS PILLS B sense tells us, for example, that children have no more right to be near or on a piece of operating farm machinery than city children have to be around a punch press or a moving locomotive; they have no more business driving a tractor than city children have behind the wheel of a 100 horse power pas senger automobile. Many accidents can be prevent ed if each family will learn what hazards menace their lives at home, at work and on the high way; what each member of the family can do to eliminate as many of these hazards as possible; and that carelessness on the part of any member of the family perils the lives and happiness of all.
