PUT IT ACROSS.
If we don’t make a final effort
and put over the Chamber of
commerce which looked so prom -
ising a few weeks ago when the
movement w-as launched, we
might as well Rive up and sav it
can't be done. If we fail, it is a
reflection on the tow’n and in a
few weeks when the season real
ly opens and the chamber is
given up as a hopeless task, we
will then have pangs of regret
for it is much harder to revive
a dead issue than i< is to keep a
live one living. Numerous re
quests are coming in for litera
■ ure about Shelby and Cleveland
county. Nothing is available to
send these inouirers who have
heard of Shelby and Cleveland
county as the most inviting ter
ritory in Western Carolina. It
takes time to get the machinery
of a chamber of commerce in
working order and every day’s
delay is injuring the cause.
OCR BUILDING PROGRAM.
Shelby’s building program out
fined for this year has indica
tions of keeping pace with last
year when a new record was es
tablished. With $200,000 for
schools, $200,000 for a water
station. $12b.000 for streets and
sidewalks Sfto.000 for golf club
house and $100,000 or more for
lesidences, there should be ample
emplovment and a goodly por
tion of money in circulation. To
this total, we are expecting at
an early date to hear the an
nouncement of the largest busi
ness house that has over been
ejected in the countv. T^ist year
Dan Frazier, our city engineer,
reported the total amount of
huddinwr at f’ve millions which
included textile plants to give
employment to wage earners. P.y
the end of this year we predict
that he can make a report
equally as good if the building
measures up with the real es
tate trading.
( HARLOTTE AND POLO.
About the time Camp Greene
passed out. nolo entered Char
j ttte, aava the Charlotte Obser
'■ er. And the reputation of the
Oueen Gitv has spread far
through the medium, of the
game.
North Carolina, as Tom Dixon
would saw “iust now stepping
< ut” isn’t so very fundia*’ with
nolo, or hasn’t been. Ft. Bragg,
Pinehurst and now Charlotte
are the mediums whevebv the
vame has been introduced to the
Carolinians, although it has
been a favorite sport around
Camden, in South Carolina for
Some time. Seme way to “down
home" folks polo gives an air of
big things and since Charlotte is
making a reputation in the polo
field adjoining sections of the
state have a feeling of pride.
And in that connection, other
•motions are wondering whv the
tourist hotel builder left Char
lotte ?
Somehow folks up along “The
Blue Ridge Trail.” Highwav 20.
wanted to see a big tourist hotel
in Charlotte. That it would have
mean* much to Carolina’s lead
ing city was the idea here
abouts. Western Carolina as a
resort center is just now coming
to the attention of Eastern Amer
ice Thousands, several of them,
will be passing through Char
lotte seeking the scenery and
climate by another summer.
Toe much of a touiTst hotel
rnuldn’t have been erected in
Charlotte.

BU17E
STOCK
FEED SKIM MILK
TO GROWING PIGS |
Widespread reports Indicate that ■
dairy scientists and practical dairy- j
men have Joined lu disapproval of the I
use of old gravity systems and the !
so-called water dilution systems of j
separating milk. l>esplte this fact, j
there are many water dilution sys- |
terns In use and the' losses are fre- |
quently very heavy because of this
fact.
One of the advantages of dairy
fanning is that when cream Is sold,
the skim milk may he saved and fed
to growing pigs and young calves.
Skim milk is regarded ns a valuable
protein feed, hut dairymen are de
cidedly opposed to filling the skitn
milk with a lot of precious butterfat.
The water dilution system has been
found by the Indiana experiment sta
tion to lose about 40 pounds of butter
from one cow’s milk In a year, com
pared with leas than two pounds of
butter lost by the use of the centrif
ugal cream separator.
Tt Is a well-known fact that even
the centrifugal cream separator will
not do good work when Its rate of
speed Is wrong and when the ereatti
screw Is not properly set by an ex
perienced operator. Examples of sud
den savings In fat losses by strict
attention and examination of the sep
arator are numerous In Wisconsin.
Just why anyone, knowing the dan
gers Involved In the careless separa
tion of milk, should employ cheap and
nseless methods of separating cream
or neglect the adjustment of the cen
trifugal machine is something which
Is hard to eaplaiu.
Well Managed Sow Will
Increase Crop of Pigs
Farrowing records of 574 sows on
58 Kansas farm demonstrations con
ducted last year by the Kansas State
Agricultural college extension service.
Indicate that exercise and protein
foods are among the' most important
essentials of winter brood sow man
agement.
In these demonstrations the far
rowing dates rahgcd from January 1
to April 1. The number of sows to
the farm varied from one to fifty-five.
All of the sows received corn in their
ration.
On 20 farms 203 sows received com
and a protein supplement of either
tunknge, skim milk, alfalfa or linseed
oil meal. They had plenty of range
for eaerclae and tlie equipment was
about average. Those 203 sows far
rowed a total of S.tMO pigs, an average
of 10 plga te th* litter. Seventeen
hundred and thirteen pigs were
weaned, or an average of six and a
half pigs to the litter.
On 11 of the remaining 24 farms
100 sows received mostly a corn ra
tion without protein supplement.
They farrowed seven pigs to the litter
and weaned an average of less1 than
four pigs to the litter. The equip
ment on those farms was above the
average. On the 13 other farms 145
sows furrowed an average of almost
ten pigs to the litter. The sows were
fed a well-balanced ration, but on ac
count of poor equipment and poor
preparation of farrowing quarters
these sows weaned only 45 per cent,
of the pigs farrowed, or a few more
than four pigs to the litter.
The sow.s that were well managed
and on good rations weaned 71 per
cent more pigs than tne sows on low
protein rations and 50 per cent more
than the tows on good rations hut
poorly managed.
“Hothouse” Steers Add
Much Trouble to Feeder
Protecting beef cattle in a basement
bam tightly closed doesn’t produce
beef half ns certainly as it produces
trouble.
(•ulna on beef cattle are more rapid
and economical when cattle are quar
tered in opgn sheds rattier than warm
basements.
Cattle-feeding equipment need not
he expensive. A burn with a first floor
given over to entile and hogs, with
hay und straw storage above, a erib
running ulong one aide, a silo at one
end, settles at the other end, and south
side dpen, ia difficult if not Impossible
to improver
There is nothing but trouble in the
idea that fattening cattle need to Ire
protected In a baeentent barn that
inuy be tightly closed. Diseases, es
pecially tuberculosis, ore more com
mon when cattle are doaely confined.
A steer on a full ration generates
more than enough beat In the process
of digestion to maintain body tem
perature. Steers need a dry bed with
the cold winds broken. A shed open
to the south will answer these re
quirements.
Feed for Young Steer
A two-year-old steer on a full feed
of grain, when the grain Is coni|x>sed
of coru or barley m a mixture of corn
end oats or barter and oats, will eat
about 1% pounds t» $ pounds of grain
per head per d*>\ Along with tills,
they would eat « to 8 pounds of hay
per heart per rtay. If they are getting
a liberal Med of com silage, say SO
pounds per head per day, they would
eat about 1*4 pounds of grain per 100
pounds live weight and about § pounds
of hoy.
