TO give these friends an oppor-

Any woman Of the white race may

Local Club Membership.
In places where local clubs have
been established, any eligible person
who wishes to become a member, and
is not in a position to pay the club
dues, may send in two subscriptions
to The Jeffersonian or Watson's

send in his name to his local club
for membership and enter him for

Disqualification.
The real object of these clubs is the
education of the people, and every
cent of the money that is raised will
be spent for the attainment of that
end Two millions and a half of
the voters in this country can neither
read nor write, and of the remaining
twenty millions of those who vote
for President and Congressman, and
help to arrive at momentous decisions
on governmental questions of vital
import to the welfare of the nation, a
large proportion are utterly and dis
gracefully ignorant of the e1emen-
tary principles upon which our gov
eminent was founded. BY the distribu-
ton of literature, the employment of
lecturers, and more especially the
free discussion of social and political
questions in the clubs, we hope to do
little towards the education of the

Do not exercise these muscles too

at first, and never more than three

POULTRY NOTES.
experiment

A lazy fowl is usually good one
to eat, for it is generally fat.
To hatch well, eggs must be from
good, strong stock, fertile and fresh.
A single mite can do little or no
harm, but hundred thousand of them
can.
In selecting birds for winter lay
ers, it is well to reject all those that
look like culls.
Often the mysterious disappearance
of the young chicks may be traced
to the old family cat.
A very important thing in poultry
raising is in caring for the eggs after
they are layed up to the time they
are marketed.
Green tender weeds thrown to the
fowls afford them a variety of green
stuff and save labor by not being al
lowed to seed.
If your chicks are not coming up
to what you think they should, look
and see that the fault does not lie
with the male.
Poultry are said to cleanse them
selves of insect pests by busting their
feathers and then shaking the pests
off with the dust.
Stufing, poultrymen assert. never
did make hens lay, as it makes them
fat and lazy birds never were noted
for their laying qualities.
A practical poultry raiser never for
gets to keep his fowls dishes strictly
clean and to supply them with good
clean food and water, and plenty of it.

SKIM MILK VALUE FOR HENS
Systematic Tests in West Virginia
Prove 1t Is Valuable Food for
the Layers.

Systematic tests made by the West
Virginia Experiment station prove
that skim milk is valuable food for
laying hens.
The first test covered 122 days. The
hens fed the skim milk laid 1914 eggs
as compared with 996 laid by % hens
fed mash wet with water.
In another test go mems fed skim
milk laid S62 eggs in 81 days, as COM
pared with 632 eggs laid by a similar
lot fed no milk.
Other tests gave about the same
comparative results.
The conductors of these expert
ments estimate under prevailing con-
ditions, with eggs selling at 20 to as
cents a dozen, that the skim milk had
a feeding value of liz to 2 cents a
quart, or rs cents to $1.O0 per hun.

SUMMER CARE OF THE TURKEY
Young Ones Should Not be Neglected
and Allowed to Shift for Them
selves Too Early.

While it is true that as soon as
turkeys begin to shoot the red" they
are comparatively safe from the trou-
bles of early life, it is not at all good
policy to neglect them and allow them
to take their own course without care
during the remainder of the season.
The way to make the most money
from turkeys, says writer in Poul-
try, is to secure the largest possible
frames in the beginning, and then
cover these big frames with as heavy
coat of flesh as possible to get on
them
Under ordinary conditions, turkeys
will find a living in the fields without
much attention from the owner. They
have faculty of going about in
meadows and pastures, searching for
insect food, without in any way dam
aging the crops. Their constant
search for insects makes them valu.
able to farmers, because their appe-
tite for such pests leads them to de-
stroy thousands of the farmers worst
enemies.
themselves the owner should not con-
slider that they need no other feed
beyond what the fields afford them.
Growing turkeys should not be al.
lowed to go a single day without
grain feed of some kind. They should
be given every evening liberal feed
of grain, of which corn should be the
smaller part. This evening feed of
grain keeps the young turkeys grow
ing rapidly instead of making slow
progress during the hot weather. 1t
also gets them in the habit of coming
to the house every night, and they
sleep at home instead of on the most
convenient fence, as they often do
when not fed daily during the sum-
mer
When turkeys are brought up to be
familiar with their owners they grow
much better, because they are not
worried at the sight of human being,
and live quietly, growing more rapid
ly because of their lack of excite
ment.
If milk is available it will pay to
make cottage cheese for them every
day in the year. The curd made by
heating sour milk or buttermilk is
very rich in those elements that go
to make large frames and heavy
flesh, and there is hardly any other
way by which so much value may be
extracted from waste milk.

red and brown. The idea in using oil
paint is so that the color will not wash
off should the little folks be caught
out in a shower.
To make the handles, select two
fine strands of reed, and buttonhole
stitch over them with raff1a. Put a
loop of reed through each side of the
basket and through this slip the ends
of the handles, fastening firmly with
raffia.
To hold down the cover, little but
ton of reed and raffia is put on, such
as is found on any basket. The cover
is tied on with rafia from the wrong
side. A piece of the mating is put
in for division inside the basket, so
that the sandwiches may be kept in
one side and the little cakes or fruit
in the other.

Bedroom praperies.

The new draperies for autumn are
striking in effect.
Birds and leaves and flowers riot
over them in gorgeous abundance.
Cretonnes are decorated with huge
spashes of yellow chrysanthemums.
Passion flowers on a cream back
ground, big and little, in wreaths and
single blossoms.
The palm leaf, which has not played
much part in decoration for several
years, is back again.
The most unusual perhaps is the
bird design, from which come some
wonderful color effects.
On dull buff ground, for example,
will be whole fiocks of tropical birds,
arranged in conventional pattern,
somewhat like the designs stamped
upon crepe used for kimonas and the
like.
Not only will these be used for cur
tains, but for bedspreads, table GOV.
