Poorly Fed Early
Bred Heifers Hurt
: V?
Clomson (.College, May &,~~A recent
United States Department of Agriculture
circular shows conclusively
from records on over 200,000 cow*
of different breed* in the United
StaU?? that the large cows, within
a breed produce ttttfre milk, inoro
butterfat, and more net profit, <!?
clares J. P. UaMaster, head of the
? 1 '**
<lairy division.
"South Oaroilna cows are below
the average in size for the breed
to which they belong because of two
practices followed by most dairy
farmers in the state," continues Mr,
Da Master. "First, heifers are not
fed enough from six months old uutil
they first freshen to produce normal
growth. Most farmers feed calves
satisfactorily until they are six
months old because they have learned
that if they do not they will die.
The second practice res|?onsible 'for
small cows is running the bull with
th?u..rows and heifers. Under this^
system the young heifers breed when
~ they arc nine to l?r? months old and
produce their first calves when well
, under two yeurs of age.
"Contrary to popular opinion, carrying
the calf does not have a serious
effect on the young heifer's growth.
It. is the milking period following
calving which produces the stunted j
condition Of cows. Kvcn small lieif-j
ers produce dry matter in the first :
week or 10 days of their milking per- j
iod equal to that of the calf when it
is born. Since tin* calf is produced
over a period of many months, this :
is obviously not a serious factor.
"Tile practice of breeding heifers
too young must be changed if we
hope to get the greatest profit fro pi
dairying. The only solution of this
problem is fur each farmer to build
a pen in which t he hull can he kept
separate from the heifers and the
milking herd. Then the heifers may'
he bred at 10 to 20 months of age. J
depending on their size, ami by good j
feeding they can be grown to -a normal

Came Booster Battles Hawk to Death
B. F. CopeLand, who recently moved
to his newly built home near the old
Georgetown road about four and a
half miles southeast of town, has a
game rooster who knows how and
has the grit and fighting qualities to
protect his'family against marauders.
One day last week a hawk swooped .
down?among the poultry flock, selecting
as the most desirable of them
the young biddies, but before he
could carry out his evil designs the I
aforesaid game rooster gave him hat- j
tie and put him to death with his '
spurs, and then stood on him and,
picked out both his eyes. ? Kershaw j

Henry Ford Buys
Old Printing Press
High Point, N.<C.~- <Rccau*e ? south'
ern newspaper editor wan "too busy"
to eraae tin "f" lie got an extra $1,000
from Henry Ford for an ancient
printing preaa!
The story has just been ^elated by
H. W. Kronheimer of HijJh Point,
formerly one of the editor* of tlie
Roanoke Valley News. His interest
in the tale is that he once owned the
press, but not appreciating its value
to a collector, sold it for ubout $20.
Mr. Kronheimer originally purchased
the press at auction for less
than $10. Somfe of the parts were
missing. He sold it, and it changed
hands several times, finally going to
Boydton, Va.
A typographer's salesman culled on
the Roydton editor.
"What's that?" he asked, peering
' at the old press, caked with ink and
; half covered with rubbish,
j "Junk," said the editor.* "It was
part of the outfit when I took it
over."
The salesman rubbed off the maker's
name plate and saw the date
' several centuries old. "Henry Ford
i wouldn't call this junk," he suggested.
The ediloi wrote to Henry Ford,
and receiver! an immediate reply, aski
ing for particulars and the price.
[-Pariiculars were easy, but the price
| perplexed the newspaper man. Fif[
ty dollars? Perhaps. "Flf?" he
| wrote. Not enough. Five hundred,
but he'd have to rub out that "f" and
substitute a "v". Too much trouble.
Make it fifteen hundred. He did.
And "Mr. Ford sent his check.
Tracing of the history of the old
press disclosed that it was second
to be brought to tKfe: United States t
from England, being used for years
at Williamsburg, Va., in tlx* days
when the colonies^ were young.
It now reposes in Mr. Ford's mu!

Health and Beauty
(By Dr. Sophia Brunson)
TulierculoHis No. 2
Tuberculosis usually starts in the
lungs of a person who has become
run down in health. At first a small
grey lump forms which is called a
tubercle. It is u tiny cheesy mass
which is composed of dead tissue that
has been destroyed by the germs
which it contains. If you examine
the tubercle under the microscope
you will discover, that the body is
trying to ,protect itself against thd
invading enemy and has placed a
double layer of cells around the murderous
germs. These germs throw
off poisons which cause the destruction
of lung tissue. If the body of
the person who has tuberculosis is
sufficiently strong, the tubercles and
the germs cannot continue their deadly
work. Slowly the body cells will
deposit layer after layer around the J
tubercles and shut the germs up in
this strong prison from which they |
cann-ot get out to continue war on
their victim. If the patient builds'
his vitality by hygienic and biological
living, the cells of his body will win '
the fight that has been going on in
his lung.->. Nature will deposit chalk .
in the tubercle and finally construct
a strong wall of scar tissue about it.
Thus we see that the only treatment j
for tuberculosis is' to build up the j
body and so strengthen it that it
will l>o enabled to fight the germs j
by walling them off, and gradually 1
as time passes, ultimately to destroy
them. This kind of scar tissue is
often found in dead bodies at postmortems.
Many have had tuberculosis
at some tune in their lives but
recovered spontaneously without
knowing that they had it.
By living carefully the scars or
fort l osses will remain strong and
keep the germs walled up, hut if
something happens to weaken and
<lebilitate t lie body the -ear walls
j may grow weak and . limbic. Some
mu-obes are often le'"' alive which

History of Route,
Maine To Florida
By L. S. Moody
The history of the United States
has been written partly in blood and
partly in the achievement* of America'*
great sons and daughters along
the route where U. S, Highway No.
1 stretches, an almost unbroken ribl>on
of concrete and asphalt. 2,4113.5
miles irT length, from Fort 'Kent,
Maine, northern tip of the United
State* to the corral reef* at Key
West, Fla., the#southern extremity.
The Highway run* from the latitude
where it snows early and stay*
on the ground late to the land of
pulms and sunshino, where homes are
built without chimneys.
Travelers from Hartford, southbound
for their vacation trip, reach
this pulsing, busy artery of national
travel at either New Haven or New
York. Prom these two junctions the
motorist can drive rarely out of sight
<if service stations or gagages and
always within easy reach of j#ood hotel
facilities, on, a paved highway
with the exception of a small strip
in the northern part of South Carolina,
which will bo paved within the
next few months.
Along the route of U. S. Highway
No. 1 are: Boston, "The Cradle of
Liberty"; New Haven, hallowed by
those who have followed the progress
of education in this country; New
York, metropolis "of the western
world, and Trenton. N. J., capital
of a rapidly growing state, is next.
A little further on is Philadelphia,
where Independence Hall is located,
the symbol of the freedom loving
spirit which built this nation. It is
one of the many relics of early American
struggles found there.
Baltimore, emporium of commerce
and industry, is next and is remembered
as the place where Francis
Scott Key received his inspiration
for "The Star Spangled Banner",
song of 120,000,000 Americans.
Washington, the National Capital, is
another famous cfty along the route,
which then glides on down through
Virginia, passing the battle fields of
the Civil War until Richmond is
reached. Between Richmond and
Petersburg, Va., are the trenches
used in the long ei^ge of Richmond,
which was the Capital of the Southern
Confederacy. Here trench war
fare was first undertaken on a large
scale.
Every step of the route in Virginia
is hallowed by three centuries of
vtruggle for freedom and progr^fs*
The roadside is dotted with battle
field# and points of historical interest.
Into North Carolina, an up and
commit state, the automobile rolls
over ribbons of broad concrete. Kaleigh,
the State Capital, is the birthplace
of Andrew Johnson, the seventeenth
President of the United States,
Sanford, Southern Pines and Pinehurst
come next, the latter is one
of the important winter resorts of
the South.
Camden, S. C., is another fine winter
playground and is on the route
before Columbia, South Carolina's
capital, is reached. The State House
in Columbia still bears the mark of
cannon balls used in Sherman's siege <
of the City. Aiken, the winter polo
capital, of the, United States, is located
on this famous highway, nestled
among the pines on high ground
just 17 miles before crossing the Savannah
river, the boundary line between
South Carolinu and Georgia.
Augusta, famed for her fine resort
hotels and mild climate is the
winter golf center of the country.
This city is also rich in Revolutionary '
history. From Augusta to Jacksonville,
Flu., unbroken paving across the
famous "Wire Grass" region of Georgia
has been laid. Louisville, 50
miles south, has standing in the center
of the town the old slave market.
Among the progressive towns between
LouisviHv'and Wayc^oss are:
Swainsboro, Lyons and Baxley. A
touch of the new south is seen in
Waycross, busy industrial center.
, Jacksonville. Fla., is then reached
and the traveler glides down the
famous Florida East Coast on palmfringed
avenues.
One of the outstanding advantages
of C. S. Highway No. 1 is the fact
that it is marked throughout its entire
length with one number, U. S.
No. 1.
Kills Children
Columbus, Ohio.?.Mrs. Ethel Geller,
44, shot and killed seven of her
children shortly after she had
put them to bed Tuesday evening,
and attempted to commit suicide. She
was taken to a hospital in a dying
condition. It is believed that Mrs.
Geller became despondent over her
losing battle against poverty.
