A few farmers will continue to use
the swill barrel when common sense
should teach them better. In warm
weather the slop barrel is a. nuisance
in more ways than one. It draws
the flies and makes them ors
around the house than they would
be otherwise. There is often a hand
full or more of defunct flies floating
on the surface of the soured slOp. Is
it any wonder that cholera gets g
strong foothold when the hogs r
fed slop that is never fresh, sweet or
clean? The cholera micrObe wants
no better breeding place than the
slop barrel that is open to every i'm
purity that comes along. Keep the
sIop in tight covered buckets, empty
them every day, and treat them to
the scalding process occasionally

A bill before the New York Legis-

Every farmer should grow fruit
enough to supply his family and keep
them in fruit the year round. The
farmer who does not do this will GER
tainly die in debt to his family and
to his own stomach. The farmer
without fruit is in one sense a pau
per, for he must depend upon others
to feed him. A farm without fruit
is like a home without a baby-some-
thing is lacking A. A. Halliday,

Handsomely illustrated. 300 pages.
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1925 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy of Prof. L.
H. Bailey's principles of Agricul-

farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There T many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper so badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,

CONCLUDED FROM PAGE Il

cover ten eggs anu WAUGH carefully
that other hens do not disturb her.
Within three or four days of the
time to hatch, sprinkle the eggs we'll
with clean warm water at about 100
degrees. This will insure the damp
ness that assists greatly in the sue
cess and active process of Matching.
Unless the hen is quiet I would ad-
wise, as fast as the little ones hatch
and become dry, taking from the
hen and placing them in a basket in
which a warm flannel cloth has been
laid, then leaving them in the bas-
ket until all eggs are Matched. This
1 do to avoid having any smashed
for on your success with the little
ones depends in agreat measure your
success with the grown flock.
When all are Matched place the
mother hen in a coop in d quiet place
away from all other fowls, as other
hens are sure to kill the young pOults.
Do not give food for twenty-four
hours, and then sparingly at first. A
great many more young turks l be-
lieve are killed by overlooking than
otherwise. Bread crumbs soaked in
fresh milk and a curd made from
thick sour milk with a liberal sprink-
ling of black pepper 1 would advise
TO be fed for the first week. Then
may be added all table scraps. Vege-
tables, lettuce and such, chopped
and mixed with their food give ex-
cellent results. Corn meal may be
fed mixed with ground oats and
baked otherwise I would not recon-
mend it.
Cleanliness is of the greatest i'm
portance. Always keep fresh drink
ing water within reach, but in nc
case allow the poults to get wet by
running through the wet grass on a
rainy day or early in the morning
when the dew is on it. 1t is d good
plan to put a board in front of the
coop at night, protecting them from
small vermin and removing it in the
morning after dew has disappeared.
After the poults are four days old,
on pleasant days the mother hen
may be let out to run at will with
her brood, but do not neglect to
- coop them before dew falls.
But one thing from the v~ery~frst
and of the greatest Importance is
that of d certainty at all times they
must be free from lice and mites,
which are most fatal to young pOults.
One should be on the constant look
out, for these pests appear as if by
magic on the little turks when all
other fowls and young chicks seem
to be free from them. They are
most troubles ONE around the head
and the wings where the flight
feathers start. Every few days they
should be examined carefully. A
little pure lard rubbed on the head
and wings is u simple and effective
remedy bat too much is absolutely
fatal.
The young turks grow very rapid
~ after the first few weeks and with
what voracious appetites they de
your their foOdI But in return they
soon get strong and sturdy, we'll
able to forage and protect them
selves. If the above method will be
the indirect cause of assisting any
of your lady readers and in
qUence an extra, fine, fat, juicy
Thanksgiving bird will adOrn the
table next November, my time has
not been wasted and any knowledge
derived is theirs with pleasure

FORAGE CROPS FOR PIGS.

Some of the forage crops common
ly grown for this purpose have the
additional advantage that pigs can
be turned on them, and thus the
cost of harvesting and hand handling
avoided. The value of different
forage crops for pigs has been studied
by several of the stations and some
recent work of this sort was done at
the South Carolina Station, the re-
suits of which are summed up in a
recent famous bulletin.
Four lots of pigs we're used in tie
test. One was fed Spanish peanuts,
one sweet potatoes, and n cowpeas,
while the remaining lot, which
served as a standard for comparison,
was fed corn. On land of the same
character as that which yielded Is
bushels of III per acre the yield Of
Spanish peanuts was 80 bushels,
COW peas 10, and sweet potatoes 200.
With the exception of the COW peas,
the cost of producing the crops would
be practically the same, provided
they we're harvested by the pigs.
The amount of the different feed
ing stuffs required TO produce a
pound of pork was Corn, SOP
pounds Spanish peanuts, 4.43
pounds ;sweet potatoes, 80. AZ pounds,
and COW peas, 4.91 pounds. Taking
account of the gains made and the
yield of different crops, and rating
pork at 5 cents per pound, the corn
was calculated to be worth Sc. 81 per
acre, Spanish peanuts $24.37, sweet
potatoes $18.47, and COW peas Sc II.
The pigs used in this test, which
covered thirty-three days, weighed
from III to 200 pounds when the
trial began. They were regarded as
too large for the best results.
The hams from the pigs fed the
different crops were all cured in the
anne way. The shrinkage did not
vary greatly, ranging from % to u
per cent. The lean meat in the
hams from the pigs fed Spanish pea
nuts exclusively was coarse and
s*ringy. The hams were tainted
somewhat, though treated like the
others in every particular. The lard
from these pigs had d lower melting
point than that from those fed the
other crops.
The South Carolina Station advises
pasturing pigs on Il small are at a
time, using a movable fence of light
wire. The following suggestions re-
garding forage for pigs are the re-
suit of the stations experience:
Rye for winter and spring pastur
eye rye and wheat for June pastur-
age ripe peanuts, chufas, and arti
chOkes tor fall, winter, and early
spring in conjunction with green
rye, early black-eyed, whippoorwilI,
or bunch black peas to follow the
wheat harvest, sweet potatoes, and
early varieties of corn in July and
August, together with early crop of
Spanish peanuts and field peas and
early amber sorghum, followed by
patches of larger varieties of sor-
ghum and the regular fail crops of
corn, potatoes, field peas and pea
nuts, leaving the chufas and arti-
chOkes to be used during the winter
and early spring. There should be d
permanent pasture of Bermuda grass,
together with vetch or some peren.
NAL grass adapted to the soil and
climate, to be used as Il u when
the ground is too wet to be rOotel
by the hogs in the special crops.
Bermuda grass furnishes pasturage
for hogs equal to and more perma-
nent than clover.

A Monkey Puts a
Lady's Hat on the Bum.

During the recent engagement Of
Ringing Brothers big arenic aggregation
in San Francisco, an amusing incident
occurred in the menagerie, and firmly
convinced the spectators that there ie at
least one woman in Frisco who will new
er again attempt to caress a monkey.
She learned lesson she will probably
remember for some little time. The
lady was accompanied by her husband,
and she wore beautiful Partisan hat,
conspicuous for its many attractive
plumes. 1t was just the kind of a hat
every woman would turn around to look
at. The pretty young woman approch-
ed the monkey cage.
"Don't 60 too near that cage" eau
toned her husband. But she paid no
heed to the warning. She went up to
the cage, and reaching one delicately
gioved band in between the bars began
patting a mouse-colored monkey. For a
moment the monkey, who is known to
the keepers as PATSY Mulligan," gazed
suspiciously at the smiling woman.
Then he reached out and helped himself
from q bunch OF fragrant violets that
were pinned to her corsage.
"Oh, my T. explained the matron.
"Be careful" warned her husband.
"Patsy" winked at his associates. ate
several of the volets and then suddenly
plucked two long and beautiful plumes
from tho m atrol's hat, Then he jumped
to the highest perch OF the cage, where
he tore his trophies to bits and divided
them among his chattering companions.
For moment the woman wac stupe-
fed. Then she wept copiously. II was
half an hour before she was sufficiently
composed to leaye the garden.
n will never look at monkey again"
she walled. 81 hate the things"
Her husband was generous enough not
to cay, "didn't warn your" lie mere
ly grinned behind his hand.
