they were strong competitors they

fact that they intended TO work the

out of Raleigh the next day. Both
counted on working four towns before
sunset.
1t was IN the summer time, and
neither man was anxious for a contest
of wits, so when Moore proposed a com

cepted his proposition. There were
seven towns. and they each took three,
agreeing TO meet ut the seventh after

reached the seventh town they put up

POULTRY NOTES.

The best litter for the henhouses is
refuse from the hay loft.
Brown shelled eggs are peculiar to
hens of an Asiatic strain.
Millet is good feed for the young
chicks and is easily raised. Some
poultrymen think millet is success
as an exclusive diet for young chicks /;
however, We prefer varied diet.
Feed oats along with your rolled
barley, but not too much, or infiamed
digestive organs will result \ va
ried diet is relished.
Clean out your nests aud burn the
material and put in fresh and keep
the eggs clean. This adds great
deal to their appearance Dirty eggs
are never saleable.
Always see that your customers get
little better bird than he pays for.
and you will never lack steady custo-
mers. Work for your customers in
terests and then they'll work for
yours.
A frequent mistake in setting or
raising eggs for Matching is in select
ing only the large ones. 1t Is, ON the
other hand, safest to discard entirely
all the extra large eggs. The best
plan is to set all eggs Of one size, and
that size medium. A medium sized ,
well shaped and good shelled egg
should be the ideal to select by.
The housewife frequently saves the
eggshells for feeding the poultry, and
particularly the laying hens. We
have known of farmers wives saving
all the shells of eggs used in the
kitchen during the summer to feed to
the hens during the winter. 1t is adj.
visable, however, TO mash the shells.
SO rs not to teach the poultry the bad
habit of eating eggs.

Fruit growing as commercial in

can make success OF fruit growing.
This fact finds abundant demunstra-
