In the Southern States 2 hours labor are need fed to produce the bushel jtf corn. The corn belt farmer jgrows his crop on large level fields and uses large machines. JSTe can not do this in this jpountry. "The same authority states tion of the country where the pasture season is not much over one-half of what the pasture season is here. In our county the pasture can be made to fur nish more than a third of the yearly feed for the cow. In New York the pasture season at the best is never over 5 months; here, by using the best methods we can stretch it over 9 months or more. If the pasture can furnish one-third of the feed at one seventh of the cost it should be a purely Dusmess proposition to take better care of our pas ture lands. If it requires from 5 to 8 times as much labor to produce a bushel of corn or of wheat here as it does in the competing districts it is not kbout one third of an hour of business to grow these crops for f.w i uaoH to nrnHune a bush- marKet. uomDimng me iiuu, i-wu mjv w.

JVe have not the large fields Jiecessary to the use of large statements it is surely good business to convert our fertile mountainsides into pasture land rather than to keep them under cultivation. If this is done it will call for more live stock. We have the climate, we have the best of water, we can stock products. Then why not grow more of these livestock products for the market. machinery. The lay of the land reach the markets with our live SPill not permit large machin ipry to be used. The only way fhat we can compete with these gtther sections in growing crops fis above is to increase the per cre yield by better farming Inethods. We can never hope to de a great deal in this way. Jt would be better business to cultivate our level lands, culti vating them more intensively, and put the hill lands into grass land husband this grass that we jean keep it. jljftSUl THE VALUE OF PASTURE One of the best, authorities on livestock and its care is Mr. E. S. Savage, Professor of Animal iHusbandry at Cornell Universi ty, Ithica, New York. In a re cent issue of the Country Gen tleman, Prof. Savage is quoted as follows : "Pasture supplies jOne-third the yearly feed of the jeows in the United States. The fcost of that feed is only one- ; Seventh of the total feed cost 'for the year. Therefore, we i khould give more attention to Jthe improvement of pastures. (The more feed we can grow for "the cows, the better, because 3 hey harvest it themselves." WHAT KIND OF A SIRE 'HAVE YOU? This means 1 what sort of a bull, beef or j dairy, have you bred your cow I to ; what sort of a ram will you j use on your ewes; what sort of 'roosters will be found in your poultry flock? We wonder if you have tried to save a few dollars by buying a cheap head for your herd, your flock of sheep or chickens. There are only two ways of judging the value of a sire. One of these is to see the way the daughters ot the sire per form; how much, milk and fat a dairy heifer will give in a year, how a bjgf heifer develops her frame and place her flesh on that frame, how the lambs de velop their bodies and place their flesh, and how the pullets lay. Obviously these facts can be known only of an aged sire. Such a sire is called a proven sire and will usually call for a larger price than a younger un proven sire. . The otheSway to judge a sire is to find out what his parents and his grandparents have done. This is Where the vlaue of a pedigree comes in.'. The pedigree is an official statement of the parents of an animal. The best sort of a pedigree has also a statement of the produc tion of these parents. A pedi gree without a knowledge of the production of the animals in this pedigree is not of much value, unless one is personally acquainted with the animals named. It is wise, therefore, to always call for and to de. mand the pedigree of the ani mal that one is breeding to. One gambles even when buy ing a purebred animal with a pedigree unless it is proven, The value of a pedigree is bas ed on the axiom that 'like pro duces like.' This axiom fails with the best bred animals at times. How ever the chances of failure are as 1 in the case of the pedigreed animals with the right sort of parents as 100 in the unpedigreed ammai The grade sire, that is the un pedigreed sire, should never be used. What is $25 or $50 when spread among 25 or 50 heifers; what is ?15 or $20 when spread among 60 or 100 lambs; what is $4 or $5 when spread among 50 pullets? It will pay to stop and think when buying a sire. Talking of mites! This is a good season of the year for them. Use plenty of old crank case oil with a little kerosene mixed with it and keep the hen roosts painted. It will kil them. We can tell you how to build the roost so that the mites have no chance at all. We wish to congratulate Dr. Loch Invar Robinson, who has completed his medical course at Wake Forest College, who came home with his di ploma last week, and will spend some time with his parents.

By TEXA HUNTER Are you prepared to meet the fate Of Death's cold, icy finger 7 Why do you shun the Pearly Gate Where the redeemed ones linger? Will there be guilt upon your face When that Death Angel beckons? Will hell and brimstone, be the place You plunge with all the weak ones? Today you live and seem quite gay, But don't forget to-morrow. It may bring happiness your way, And it may depart with sorrow. Be prepared to shed some tear-drops; lie laughing and forgiving: And when the heart its beating stops Be numbered with the living. That sleep will be a peaceful one That ache shall be a dream. In Death, our victory we have won; We ve crossed the troubled stream. Our hands are closed in bony gesture, Our flesh returns to clay, With treasured hopes to meet our Master In that Eternal Day. 6 6 6 is a Preicription for Malaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bilious Fever.
