They are allowed to drift i along until It is thought -they are old enough to breed. After being bred, they are again turned on pasture, and are not given extra feed and care until .possibly a month or so before freshen ing. The result is an undeveloped heifer at freshening time and, natur ally, a great portion of her milking ration the next year of two is used to continue the growth which she should have made before she first calved. Sometimes, It's as late as the third calf before this heifer Is fully de veloped and grown out Into a profit aoie cow. r J f riMka WigUaf 1 UN MUM Dm. iaM MM I ' maUul I L ' (HslMMnl I r - Tfaa ultimate aim of any dairy farmer growing out heifers,1' says Arepds, "should be to grow them and aeveiop tnem tuny oeiore zresnening time.' This, of course, Is the most economical way to do It Nature Is not going to cheat them out of their growth.

'.i' Washington, D. C. Some natural ists long have held that giraffes are voiceless animals, unable to make a sound even when hi agony.' A re cent challenge of this occurs in the annual report of the Kenya (Africa) game warden, which avers . that a young giraffe, separated from its mother will bawl and low like a hungry $a1f. '.Whether mute or not, the giraffe is one of the world's most peculiar animals," Bays the National Geo graphic. society, ,It has at least -two other, eboms to distinction. It ,is the world's tallest mammal and one of the most expensive animals found in menageries. '" ."A giraJEe's ifiack,' long as it is, .contains no more vertebrae than 'does the neck f a man. It is mere !ly elongation of the vertebrae that elevates, the giraffe head among ;the treetops. - ; : : . ' jMwrs vNe Bother. "Possessing: few means of de fense, giraffes are protected by their coloration. Their irregularly marked i coats blend so perfectly with the , dappled sunlight and shadows of the trees on which they : feed that at a distance they are difficult to detect. .Thorny acacias do not prove a trial to them, for the animals' tough hides 'protect them from long thorns, and ; their elastic tongues taper to pluck leaves without including the trees' piercing armor. fWhen feeding among the tree tops, If or 18 feet above the ground, the giraffe's long - lashed eyes can scan a wide range for menacing en emies: When grazing, however, or ditaldnjc from a water hole, the an imal cannot -tee lions prowling in the surrounding grasses. Since a springing .-lion - could break a gi raffe's neck, tt is fortunate mat the giraffe can survive a long time be tween drinks. Dew on leaves helps to quench its thirst "Lions usually stalk a giraffe in pairs. Attacked by a single lion, a giraffe might be able to fend it off by kicking viciously, or, if able to shake the lion off its back, it could escape by running. "Giraffes usually seek safety in flight. Hunters pursuing them on horseback do not have an easy time catching up. Given a five minutes' lead, especially over uneven ground, they, traveling more than 30 miles an hour, can outrun a fleet Sudan horse. Young giraffes begin gallop ing shortly after they are born, and usually keep up with the herd. Use for Tough Hides. "Africans hunt these animals for food, and for their tough hides out of 4 which they make shields and san dals. They often strip the hide off in pieces 30 feet long. Although indis criminate hunting has rapidly de creased the number of eiraffes. many herds still roam the heart of Africa. "Giraffes are among the most costly animals in captivity, not so much because they are scarce, but because they are temperamental. They are delicate and nervous. Nec essary surgical operations can he performed on many wild animals, but seldom on giraffes. They are so nmia mat tney show alarm at the least cause. They even have been known to drop dead when their keep ers approached to give them medi cine. "Catching them in oitfalls or trann is out of the question because of in jury that would result to their necks and legs. The usual method of cap turing them la to pursue a herd un til the young drop out exhausted, or to drive a herd into a corral "The Joke of the giraffe with a sore throat is not humorous to coo keepers. Fogs give them sore throats and colds. Legs of the young frequently swell, become crooked and too weak to support them. Gi raffes find unusual ways to hurt themselves. In the Calcutta zoo one hanged himself by catching his neck in a forked branch." - JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE Shortly after Sylvia Sidney, Fred MacMurray and little Spanky Mc Farland conclude this peaceful scene, rival mountain clans begin battling- in "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," which will be screened at the Taylor Theatre, Edenton, Monday and Tuesday.

North Carolina Farms Escape Drouth Harm Large Portion of Nation Suffering From Lack of limn; Suggested Crops For Seeding Dur ing Next Few Days to 80 pounds of seed per .acre. This crop has considerable value for tem porary grazing purposes. Millet German or Golden Millet This is the best of the millets for late sum mer seeding, and is particularly well- adapted for seeding on moist bottom lands. It should be sown broadcast on a well-prepared finely pulverized seed-bed, using about 25 pounds of seed to the acre. The crop should be ready to cut for iay within 55 or 60 days after seeding. Fertilization In fertilizing the above crops, which should be done if possible, it is suggested that the following fer tilizer treatments be used to each acre: For cowpeas and soybeans. 300 pounds of a 2-8-4 mixture. For cowpeas and sorghum. 300 to 350 pounds of a 4-8-4 mixture. For Sudan grass and millet, 300 to 350 pounds of a 4-8-4 mixture.

WILLIAMS Head Agronomy Department, North Carolina State College The current drouth, holding a large part of the nation in its grip, has not affected North Carolina to a serious extent However, in some sections of the State, outside of the higher eleva tions in the mountains, drouth condi tions have been such that before re cent rains, farmers were unable to seed the proper acreages of suitable crops for hay to meet livestock needs this fall and winter. In order to secure a sufficient amount of feed for livestock as well as to have the requisite acreage of soil improving crops, the following crops are suggested for seeding dur ing the next ten days: Cowpeas Cowpeas This crop, seeded broad cast at the rate of 60 to 90 pounds on good land during the next ten days, may be expected to give a fairly good growth, especially if the remainder of the growing season is at all favorable. In seeding use those varieties available on the farm or which may be secured quickly in the neighborhood. If the seed have to be purchased from a distance, get seed of the Brabham, Iron, Groit, Whippoorwill, or Black varieties. If sown in rows, have the rows wide enough apart to permit about two cultivations, using about 30 pounds of seed per acre. If desired, the cowpeas may be seeded with sorghum, using 45 to 50 pounds of cowpea seed and 20 to 25 pounds of sorghum seed. Soybeans Soybeans If seeded shortly, soy beans should produce a good amount of excellent hay or a fairly large amount of material, which, if turned under, will materially improve the productiveness of the soil. The seeding should be in 2 to 3 foot rows. The crop should be cultivated once or twice during its growth. Seed of the Mamouth Yellow va riety, most generally grown in the State, may be obtained easily and cheaply if home-grown or local seed of some variety is not obtainable. Soybeans should be sown in rows at the rate of 15 to 30 pounds of seed to the acre, the exact amount depending largely upon the size of the seed. Sudan Grass Sudan Grass This grass will grow rapidly and will make a large amount of excellent quality hay with in two months or less after seeding. Its growth should not be attempted except on fairly productive lands where the moisture is reasonably fair to good. The seed should be put in broadcast or in 24 to 30-inch drills in well-prepared land at the rate of 20 1 FOR LIVER, KIDNEYS, BLOOD The Unfailing Remedy for Laziness and a Drowsy, Tired Sleepy Feeling It takes the place of Calomel without any restriction of habit or UiCL Willie La KiniT.
