TI1E CLEVELAND STAR, SHELBY, N. C.TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1921 I I X I , 8 V MANNA STILL FALLS in the EAST The Biblical story of the feeding of the children of .hreal upon manna from heaven durinjj their wander ing in the wilderness on the way to the land of Onann does not record a miracle, according to Ascar S. Heizer, American consul at Jerusalem. In an official report to the Government, Cr. ,ul Heizer states that manna is now found in the regions of Upper Mesopotamia and Kurdistan, and a long the 1'ersian frontier. It fall :, he Kays, in the form of dew during September, October and No vember, and .lodges upon the leaves of oak trees. It immediately hardens and assumes the form of grain. Ear. ly in the morning, before the I.eat of the day, it is gathered by spread ing sheets beneath the trees, which are shaken, and the manna is col lected and .stored for the winter to te u ed as food, of shipped to Bag aaa lor Bale in the bazaar. PVl .... ine manna rails in other veee tables, including grass, but all of it is lost except that which i.s gathered from the oak leaves. The manna is sweet, and is eaten by the natives as a substitute for sugar or honey The consul says it is highly prized lor aromatic flavor.

Then he suddenly remember ed, and reaching down gave the leg a vigorous pinch. Feeling no pain he jumped up and cried :"It has come at last My leg is completely pet rified!" Whereupon the lady next to him leaned over and said;" I beg your pardon, but it is not petri fied and it is not yours."

Saturday: One of the largest live stock deal, im ported in many months was transact ed riday when Craig and Wilson sold to J. A. Fayssoux. local bntcher 53 head of fine Black Angus cattle tor use in the local markets. Mr. T L. Craig, speakinsr of the sale, said that this real was one of the largest made locally m recent vear. Or. dinarily their sales of beef cattle are made in northern markets, one shipment being made for foreign consumption. The Craig and Wilson farm makes a specialty of raisin? fine beef cattle. More than 125 head are now on the farm, exclusive of the Fale made to Mr. Fayssoux. More than half of the 700 acres in this big farm is now sodded in Bermuda pasture grass, and is jrrowincr nicelv. according to Mr. Craig. The farm is one or tne show places of Gaston county. Visitors are always impress ed with the number and beautv of the herds or big fat, black cattle gra zing on the hills betwen Gastonia and Dallas. The sales price of the herd was approximately nine cents per pound. FEWER CHATTELS AND CROP LIENS RECORDED ..There have been fewer cron and chattel mortgages recorded this year than up to the same time for many years past according to information obtained at the office of the clerk of the court The reason is obvious.

Verv few real-estate loans have been vat on record lately, and although the -un derstanding is that there are many land loan applications pending, the process of getting money from this source is slow and tedious.

AdV & U BIG VALUE OF SELF-FEEDER Experiments Show Pigs .Make Moro Cain Than When Hand-Fed by : Man and Eat Less, Too. Expenses may bo made less by the use of the self-feeding 'plan In prefer ence to the .-'.hand-feeding system fin U)e hoc lot. - An experiment wns con ducted at the Kansas State Agricultur al college, to show the value of the self feeder in fattening 75-pound pips, and at the same time to show the amount of tnnknire required to balance a corn ration. Till experiment was carried on by Dr. C. V. MeCnmpbell, E. F. Ferrln. nnd II. B. Winchester, In swine feeding investigations in 1918 and 1019. Twenty pip of the same age, quali ty, condition, nnd weight, were put Into two dry lots In groups of ten. The pigs In lot 1 ate from a self feed er, that was divided In two compnrt ments, one having shelled corn and thi other tankage. The pigs In lot 2 were given all they could eat twice a day of mixture of ten parts shelled corn and one part tankage. They wen watered twice a day In both lots and the experiment was carried on for one hundred days. Three days at the beginning and end of the test the pigs were weighed and all weights and ex penses were carefully recorded. The pigs In lot one ate more corn and leRS tankage than the hr.nd-fed pigs In lot 2. That a 5 per cent tank age could balance a corn ration In fat tening 73-pound plgs'was siown from this experiment, because the self-fed pigs consumed one part tankage and 20 parts corn. A 100-pouml gain In hand-fed pigs was produced by C.8 bushels of corn and 3.S pounds- of tankage, and the same gain was produced In the self fed lot by 5.8 bushels of corn and 17.C0 pounds of tankage, that is to say that the corn with tankage pro duced 14." pounds of pork In the hand fed lot and 17 pounds of pork In the self-fed lot. The self-fed pie gets more exercise than the hand-fed In the many trips he mnfcee to the feeder nnrl In thU way probahir will get more good from - v 11 4 i "W" ytK : Twifc.,-WK6j? jMaag Self-Feeding Method Proved to Be Most Profitable at Kansas State College. his food. The hand-fed pig Is fed twice a day and he eats all he can hold at that time, perhaps this Is the reason why the self-fed pig took less food to produce this 100-pound gain. At the end of this test the pigs In lot 1 made a profit of ?7.3o per head more than the hand-fed and they re quired less feed, and less labor to make the 100-pound gain. FIGHT AGAINST HOG CHOLERA Oepartment of Agriculture Co-oper. ated With 34 States In Cam paign to Stop Disease. The United States DeDartment nf Agriculture during the last fiscal year :o-operated with M states In Investi gating reported outtnwks of ho? eliol- era, administering treatment, prevent ing tne disease from spreading, and stamping out the contagion bv an- proved methods of cleaning and dl lniecting premises, pens, and yards, where cholera-sick hotrs had been held. In addition, bureau of r.nlmal indus try veterlnarlaas conducted demon strations, assisted veterinary practi tioners In Improving their technlaue. nd conducted general erfncAtlnnAl work. During the greater part ef the year, 140 veterinarians devoted their time to the control of hog cholera, but to the last quarter, when It became evident that such activities would be curtailed during the fiscal rear 1921. owing to lack of funds, the number T veterinarians was reduced. For the same reason it became necessary to reduce the educational nart of the -work. - INDUCE SWINE TO EXERCISE Keep Sleeping Quarters for Sows Some Distance From Feeding Place Is Good Plan. A satisfactory means of Inducing exercise ou hog farms consists of keeping the sleeping quarters for the sows some distance from their feed ing place so that the bows must travel this distance several times daily. How ever, If this cannot be done, sows will eocens plenty of exercise eating bay rrom a w rack built tor tne pur Feed for Young Colts.

Boston-February 13 and wer.t right to Guantanamo Bay. The fleet came in a week after we got there. They had smallpox in Cuba, so no one was allowed ashore. Of course we could go over to the na val station to swim, play tennis, 'base ball, shxit or hike, but w couldn't visit Guai.tanarno city or Cainanese, so pur stay was rather monotonous Ve carried out the regular drills and target practice and the ships made a mighty good record. Secretary of the Navy Denby was dowa, :Jso Assist ant Secretary Roosevelt. I saw them both and heard Roosevelt speak. Left Guantanamo on Sunday April 4th and were reviewed Uy President Har ding' in Hampton Roads on April 28th I went up to New York on the U. S. S. Arizona and so saved paying rail road fare and got to New York two days sooner than I would if I had tnyed on the ship and gone on to Boston. The ship is all torn up now and they are doing a lot of repair work on her. It is impossible to keep a ship clean under such circumstances and I do hate to live on a dirty ship. How ever we have less than a month in here now if we go out on schedule 'ime and then will slick her up again. We get a new captain thta week. In fact a eood manv of the officers will be changed. There is only or.e on her langed. There is only one on her who has been on ship longer I have, so you see I am getting . . , ... ..I i: t.i, now than to be a regular old timer. I 11 soon have been on her J8 months. They expect to join the fleet on June 15. and carry out the regular summer schedule. It will just suit me if they do that as we will be in New York quite a bit during the summer.I in tend to stay in the navy until Sep tember 21st and then get out and go right to Wake Forest to start to school.
