String in The Progressive^^
farmer of May 24th where W. C. '
of Belvulere. N. C\. asks how ^
o prevent crows from palling up
corn when it begin? to come up.
7*w:l! give my experience.
^cuIi your corn, put it in a
.Aioket or something th:it wil!^
water, smear some common
pine t*r upon ?t (it won't take
eery much), pour some water;
ao>& the tar. then stir it until I
^p? jet a glaze of tar upon the
wm Then draw otY the water-1,11
and put some slacked lime or ,w *
*h<?<oD the corn and stir it un- oei
til you get every grain of corn so; ral
H will not stick one to another.
*K?n plant. Do net be afraid it 'el
'?ril not come up. The crows ran ^a
pull op some, but not very much f1'
of it. This is the best remedy I j ^e<
have ever tried. 1 have planted Jan
?j?sm which had been tarred for!1*'
^"hnr weeks or more. I

J. R. Baker, a farmer near;
Hsrshavr, S. C., has a small dairy
in connection with his farm. He
j?ilks sixteen to twenty cows and
cans an eight horse farm. In his
there are two things worthy 1
?ji note: I in
Last year on thirty-four acres ; jn
to* made forty-two bales ofcot-jr<J
ton. Without the aid of cattle he , .
to
<?nld not have made such a crop . '
*jd cotton. Raising small grain j
3ui i forage for his cattle and!
wsules improves his land andi^'
naates it rich in humus. The rc
aitnure from his cattle and farm 111
micuals adds to the productive-, tr
nrss of the soil at lightest ex-;f.?
yoee. i;1
The second thing worthy of no-!
*?e i.s that Mr. Baker employs
i!j* labor. He seems to prefer! 1

Valuable Discovery f
' ? I
in North Carolina, by Edison J
?Beds of Cobalt Found ^
t that will Make Electric Au- ^

Cheaper, and Soon do J
Away with Horses. ^
? . 9
Ashville special in New? and , j
j Courier: The Ashville Citizen ^
publishes interview with Thomas *
A. E lison, who say? that he has ~
made cobalt discoveries in Nortii
Carolina that will revolutionize j ?
the electric world. Mr. Edison
| claims that he will reduce there i
by the weight of storage batteries ^
' in automobiles 60 per cent and
the cost of traffic in cities 55 per 1
cent. He has beeu in this State 1
' some time prospecting for cobalt
! lie says : '
"There is a streak of it runniug
: from a point jost east of Na^h- 1
1 , v lie, Tenn., into this State, and 1
', must add that some of the richest
' beds I have found have been in
North Carolina. There is a large
1 quantity of it and my discovery T
means a revolution in the elec
? trical world. I can reduce the
1 cost of city traffic 55 per cent mod
cut the weight of the storage bat
teries just half in two. It can be
seen very readily that more auto1
mobiles and "electrical vehicle?
will be built, because the cost will N
1 be placed within the reach of
0 manv people who cannot afford)
i to own them now.
"I have found cobalt in Lincoln. L'
Gaston. Shelby and JacksonK
counties. Id Jacksou County
there is a large quantity of it.j
while the beds are valuable inj
d ; the other counties. I made assays j
.1 of the mineral in many places
v j and 1 have found the quality to]
' ' be iust what I was lookinc for.
S j %
"The electric vehicles havebeen
I under a great handicap because
I of the very heavy storage bat- ! _
" j teries we are forced to put in ' ?
e ; them and also on account of their j
y j high values. When 1 can equip
an automobile propelled by th?a
cobalt system, the weight will b*
i one half, thereby giving the new
r michinean enviable advantage
over the oues now in use. and I
when the^price is reduced so as
. to place thom within reach of '
everybody it means that a horse j I
