Had It a Long Tima.?An Englishm&n,
an Irishman and a Scotchman
went forth together to burgle a farmhouse.
The Sassenach appropriated a
horse, the Gael, a cow, while the representative
from Erin commandeered a
cart.
As they were making their way into
a town a policeman approached and
asked the Englishman where he got
the horse.
" < +
""An," was me rejiij. ? ?r nau u
since it was a foal."
"And where did you get the cow?"
he asked of the Scottie, who responded:
"Ah. I've had her since she was a
calf."
Turning to Pat, the constable next
asked: "Where did you get the cart?"
"Ah, begorra," quickly retorted
Pat, "I've had it since it was a
wheelbarrow."
Home of tho 8wallow.?The teacher
of a primary class in natural history
had a visitor in the school room one
day, says Mrs. Ray Ward Brown, the
New York suffragist. The teacher
suddenly closed her book, turned to a
boy near the foot of the class and
asked:
"Willie, can you tell me where the
home of the swallow is?"
The youngster thought for a moment
but could not answer.
"Suppose you try It, Jimmy," suggested
the teacher, turning to his
neighbor. "Can you tell me where the
home of the swallow is?"
"Yes, ma'am," was the response. "In

When Ignorance Was Bliss.?Philip
C. Hanna, former United States consul
at Monterery, Mexico, touching, in the
course of a speech on the advantage
of keeping abreast of the times, illustrated
his point by reference to a
traveling salesman, who found himself
in a village hotel dining room
when a heavy downpour of rain set in.
"Gee," he said, addressing the waitress.
"It looks like a flood." . I
"Like what?" the grl iinquired.
"Like the flood. You have read of
the flood, and how the arte landed on

"Yes, sah."
"Would you consider him careless?"

A Wise Doctor.?Sometime ago Mr.
Brown began to feel a little under the
weather, and a physician was summoned.
A few days later a friend
called to see how the patient was getting
along.
"Sorry to see you penned up, old

"What seems to be the
trouble?"
"Just run down a bit," answered the
patient. "The doctor says I will be

"I see/' thoughtfully returned the
visitor. "I understand the doctor told
you to take plenty of fresh air."

CULTURE OF PECANS
Important Industry That is Deserving
of Attention.
Charlotte Observer.
Pecan culture appears to be growing
quite popular in Mecklenburg
county. The brief article which appeared
in the Observer yesterday
morning, telling something about the
success being achieved by Mr. J. K.
Wolfe on his farm south of the city
and of the interest manifested by such
representative citizens as Messrs. E. T.
Cansler, J. A. Bell, A. Morris McDonald,
Walter Davidson, J. P. Little
and others, has evidently touched a
responsive cord in the hearts of many
residing: in the Piedmont section of
the Carolinas.
Quite a number of inquiries were
received by mail and telephone, submitting
various questions as to pecan
culture and the problems attendant
thereto. Since this paper does not pose
as an expert horticulture, all queries
relating to technical details will have
to be submitted to the proper government
authorities and letters addressed
either to the state or national departments
of agriculture, will receive a
ready and complete answer. Inquiries
as to where plants may be obtained
may be addressed to Mr. W. H. Overash
of this city, who is himself
nething of an expert in pecan growg.
He has two acres on his farm four
miles south of the city on the Yorkville
road and he is now beginning to
obtain a limited return. His trees
are six and seven years old and are
set 40 feet apart. They are of the
Stuart variety and the nuts average
from 45 to 50 to the pound. In view
of the fact that the retail price in
Charlotte ranges from 60 to 75 cents
a pound, it can be seen that they will
average almost a cent and a half
apiece. The profit in the business is
manifest if only a sufficiency of the
trees may be obtained.
The Horlbeck Grove.
In this connection a brief sketch of
what is said to be one of the largest
and finest pecan orchards in the world
may be of interest. This orchard Is
located near Charleston, S. C.. and the
yield exceeds 50 tons annually. This
is from the Charleston News and Courier
and is herewith reproduced:
"What is believed to be one of the
largest pecan groves in the country, if
not the largest, is situated on the old
Horlbeck plantation at Christ Church
parish, near Mount Pleasant. The
grove contains from 650 to 700 acres
of pecans, and is now owned and operated
by the South Atlantic Pecan
company. The trees will yield this
year, it is expected, over 60 tons, or
more than 100,000 pounds. The price
of the nuts range from 15 to 50 cents
per pound, according to size and
quality.
Planted by Major.
"This property, consisting in all of
about 4,000 acres, formerly belonged
to Major John S. Horlbeck. Major
Horlbeck is a pioneer in the pecan industry.
Of the 650 or 700 acres planted
in pecans, approximately 65 acres consist
of trees averaging 22 years old.
These trees have Just reached the
age for good bearing and will increase
in production every year. Years ago
Major Horlbeck anticipated the future
of pecans and inaugurated the culture
on a large scale on his plantation.
"At that time the grove was the
largest of its kind, and is now considered
the largest pecan grove having
such large numbers of trees 22 years
old or over in the country. The yield
of the pecans has increased enormously
in the past few years and it is expected
that its output will soon reach
much larger figures.
Best or recant rroaucea.
"Local markets, markets in various
parts of the state and many places
in the north are supplied by this farm.
The largest single order shipped was
between 13 and 14 tons. This was
despatched for the most part during
November. Many other smaller orders
have been shipped and it is stated
that there seems to be no trouble in
finding a market for all the available
nuts.
"Following are the varieties of pecans
produced at the grove of the
South Atlantic Pecan company: Columbians,
Stewarts, Van Diemans,
Matchless, Laurel and fine specimens
of seedlings. These pecans have a
flavor peculiarly their own, it Is declared.
The larger specimens are
prized and sell at 50 cents per pound
wholesale. They are of an exceptional
size and attract a considerable amount
of attention wherever displayed.
Trees Carefully Selected.
"In commenting upon the quality of
the trees one connected with the company
stated that Major Horlbeck was
exceedingly careful in his selection of
trees. The land upon which they are
planted are tile drained, with the result
that the trees have attained a
strong and vigorous growth and are
now at the commencement of a large
yearly yield of nuts. The increase
each year is larger. About three years
ago the entire property was purchased
by a Columbia syndicate.
"This property, it is stated, is attractive
in its physical aspect. On it is
possibly the finest oak grove in the
state, planted in 1843. This grove is of
long extent, composed of excellent
specimens of live oaks. The plantation
is about six miles from Mount Pleasant.
It also contains a great deal of
valuable farming land, tile drained and
suitable for the successful cultivation
of any crops in this section.
Useful Clay Deposits.
"An added feature of the land is
that it contains an excellent clay deposit.
This is used for the purpose
of making tile and brick. From this
deposit Mr. Horlbeck made all of
the great quantity of tile needed for
the tile drainage of the place and the
bricks used in construction of buildings.
There is a large house on the
premises, with a number of brick
dwellings used by the laborers. On the
plantation are two artesian wells.
"There is also a splendid hunting
preserve. Deer, turkeys and partridges
are plentiful on it.
"The manager of the pecan grove
and farm is Mr. R. M. Clute. Mr.
Clute has been on the place for the
last 30 years, and assisted Major Horlbeck
in planting every tree on the
place."
THE WAR AND THE BIBLE
Increase of 50 Per Cent Reported Over
the Best Previous Year.
The makers of munitions of war are
not the only American business men
who are profiting by reason of the
conflict in Europe. The knowledge
may prove disconcerting to some
peace-at-any-price advocates, but it is
a fact nevertheless, that the Bible business
in this country, as a direct con
sequence of the war, is flourishing as
never before. The publishers are
sending large quantities?unabridged
editions, including the Book of Ezeklel,
not only to the Allies, but to the
Teutonic nations also.
American-made Bibles are being
shipped, too, to the South African and
Australian markets. Everywhere, according
to the publishers, the demand
for the American articles is unprecedentedly
large. It is estimated that
the increase over the best previous
year is about 50 per cent. And the
Bibles are not only being purcnasea
by missionaries for foreign auxiliaries
of the Gideons, but by the great public
abroad. Other nations are handicapped
in their ability to publish, so
the whole world is looking to this
country for its supply.
At home, too, more people are reading?or,
at least buying?Bibles than
ever before. The Gideons, the best
single customer, buy 50,000 a year to
distribute throughout the hotels of the
country. A member of a publishing
firm estimated yesterday that the Bible
business of the United States, including
both exportatlons and the product
for home consumption, will total
12,200,000 this year.
To meet the demand the American
Bibles are being printed in many foreign
languages, besides English.?New
York Sun.
BULGARIA A FARMER NATION
Interesting Facts About People of the
Largest Balkan State.
Almost as important as the splendid
army which she brings to aid the cause
of the Teutonic powers is the agriculture
wealth that Bulga.ria throws into
the balance as an aid toward the solution
of their provisioning problem,
says a statement given out recently by
the National Geographic society.
Bulgaria is essentially a farmer nation;
its exports consist of its agriculture
surplus, and in good years
these surpluses amount to very respectable
quantities.
Nearly 40 per cent of the country's
area is cultivated, of which threefourths
is devoted to cereals, wheat
yielding the largest crop and Indian
corn and barley coming second and
third in importance. Ten per cent of
the land is devoted to grazing, but
Bulgaria has little importance in the
commerce of live stock. Meat products
take almost no part in Bulgaria's
foreign trade, although large numbers
of cattle and sheep have been raised
during recent years and considerable
attention given to the improvement of
the native breeds.
Wheat and Indian corn are the two
principal items on Bulgaria's export
list. They constitute about one-half
of her total foreign sales. Oats, rye and
barely are also raised upon the little
kingdom's farms for foreign consump
tion. These exports of cereals, together
with eggs, attar of roses, sheep
and lamb's wool, and silk worm cocoons
make up more than 75 per cent
of the total exports. The raising of
tobacco has come to be an important
source of the Bulgarian farmer's revenue.
while from Austria-Hungary the
sugar beet has found its way into the
central Balkan kingdom, and the manufacture
of beet sugar has increased
rapidly.
Almost the whole of Bulgaria's foreign
trade during normal times has
been with those countries with whom
she is now fighting as an ally?with
Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Germany.
For some strange reason, Belgium
was among Bulgaria's best customers.
With the exception of this
last named nation, the choice of Allies
made by the Bulgarians is a choice
coinciding with the interest of her
foreign trade in the years before the
war. Bulgarian corn, tobacco, hides,
forest products and cocoons found
their best markets among the German
and Turkish buyers in days before the
war. Of course, attar of roses, was
largely taken by the French, and enjoyed
its own market among the buyers
of all the nations of the west. Just
such luxury product, however, would
be the first to suffer by reason of the
world war, and Bulgaria's trade in the
expensive essence of her wonderful
rose valleys was bound to fall off
greatly.
Most every Bulgarian is either a
farmer or a politician. As a politician,
he writes, offices the army and takes
up the various professions. Political
Bulgaria lives in the little nation's one
pretentious city, Sofia, while everywhere
else throughout the country
stretch the little peasant holdings.
About 40 per cent of the country is
held as private property and about 24
per cent is parish property. The bulk
of the holdings owned outright are
held in less than one hundred acres
plots. Land magnates, so prominent
in the other agriculture nations of the
world, are rarely met with among the
folk. Thrifty, well-to-do, persistent
farmers, decendants of generations of
farmers, make up the financial strength
and the greater part of the population
of Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian peasants are as frugal
and as careful in administering their
resources as are their German allies.
Little is wasted by the peasant family
in display or for festival. Herein
Bulgaria contrasts strongly with her
western neighbors, the Serbians, who
are a people firmly imbued with the
hedonist's philosophy of doing by ourselves
as well as our means allow. The
Bulgarian has not enjoyed his freedom
as long as the Serbians, and his oppression
at the hands of the Turks
was, more likely, more severe than
that experienced by the Serbians,
farther removed from the centers of
Turkish domination. Thus, the Bulgarian
has a sterner, more repressed
outlook upon life than his neighbors in
the Balkans, and less of a demand for
comfort and the Joys of living.
Foundations of a manufacturing industry
in Bulgaria have already been
laid and such things as are made are
largely proaucea in ine nomvs m wc
people, who fill a great many of their
needs by home manufacture. This
home industry has lost greatly in
importance with an increasing stream
of imported products from AustriaHungary.
Germany and Great Britain.
Where the Bulgarian peasant formerly
made his cloth, his tools, his household
utensils, his furniture and his
clothes, he is now looking more and
more to the mills and factories of
western civilization. This has had the
result of making his exports more and
more important to him. As the peasant's
demands upon civilization have
grown, his interest in supplying his
neighbors with the produce of his
farms has developed mightily. Therefore.
as the Teutonic powers and his
neighbor, Turkey, were by far his best
customers, he probably had strong
leaning toward them, over and beyond
such political leanings as may have
influenced his government's espousal
of their cause.

HOG KILLING TIME IS HERE
Some Points on Killing and Curing the
Winter Moat.
The arrival of early winter makes
preparations for hog killing in order
and the death rate among South Carolina
porkers may be expected to increase
amazingly from now on, says a
dispatch from Clemson college. But
there are right ways and wrong ways
of killing and curing hogs and according
to the extension livestock experts
of Clemson college, many hogs are
so killed or their meat so cured as
to produce food that is hardly palatable.
Kill on a clear, cold day. The carcass
must cool quickly and if the day
is somewhat warm, butcher in the afternoon,
as it is usually coldest at
night. Keep all feed from hogs for
24 hours before killing.
Bleeding should be rapid and complete.
As soon as the hog is dead it
should be scalded and scraped and the
internal organs removed. Keeping the
nog in iiul waier ^auuui xou uegieco
temperature) for something more than
a. minute should make the hair loosen
and slip easily. Hang up the carcass
and wash it with clean, cold water.
Remove the internal organs as soon as
the hair has been completely taken off.
Spread the carcass wide open, wish It
out with clean, cold water, and hang it
in a cool place till the next morning.
Two 12-inch sticks inserted crosswise
in the opening will help to keep the
carcass open and let it cool out more
quickly.
Curing by dry salting, which is understood
by most farmers, often produces
meat that becomes too hard, dry
and salty. A surer method is to immerse
the meat in a brine solution,
made as follows for each 100 pounds
of meat: 12 pounds common salt, 3
pounds brown sugar, 3 ounces saltpeter,
5 gallons water. Boil together
gently for one hour. Make the brine
one day before putting the meat in it,
as it ought to be cold when used.
A well cleaned syrup barrel is a
good vessel for the brine and meat.
Trim the pieces of meat neatly and put
them in the barrel, meat side up. Put
a heavy weight on top of all. Then
pour brine over the meat until the
top piece of meat is at least two inches
below the surface of the brine. Examine
the brine frequently. If it becomes
tainted or ropy, wash each piece
of meat and make a new brine.
Small pieces of meat should remain
in brine 30 to 40 days; large hams perhaps
50 days. After taking It from the
brine, hang the meat up for two or
three days, then smoke it. If a tight
house is used, three or four days of
continuous smoking should be enough.
Let the meat cool after smoking. Then
wrap it in paper and put in a strong
bag that has been dipped in starch or
painted with paste to keep out insects.
Tie tightly and hang up.

CHARLES'
SERVICE-That's It
It Is a well known fact that when it
comes to Fire Insurance, there Is no t
difference in the rate charged per
1100 by all the reputable companies
but it is a fact that the rate charged
by agents who are not on the job?the
kind who are writing Insurance principally
for the commission?could
often be reduced materially If certain
changes were made and the agent who
knows, and is not in the business solely
for commissions, will, at least advise
his clients how a rate can be reduced.
Service of this kind is and hoe
always been my specialty, and I have
savea nunareaa ot aunuro iur ?*,/
cllenta Some of them, in fact the
majority, havo appreciated it, but some
have not, but I will continue tho policy
because it is right I do not ask for
business on any* other ground than
value received. One of the most serious
handicaps of the business is that
after a minimum rate has been secured
and policies issued correctly, the
novice can issue a policy Just as well
as the expert, and some lnsutees will
give him business from various motives.
y
MUTUAL BENEFIT INSURANCE
What has been said of Fire Insur- -?* *
ance above does not apply to Life In- .J
su ranee. No agent can give you as *
much for your money in Life Insur- ance
as I can in a Mutual Benefit
Policy and I can prove this claim to
your satisfaction if you will ask to
be shown. Wise people look before
they leap.
