SHEEP AND POULTRY
RAISED WITH PROFIT
ON SOUTHERN FARM
Uncle Sam Gives Some Val
liable Pointers On How
to Get Monetary
Returns

WASHINGTON. December 9.-(SpeciaD Sup
southern farmer to raise hogs, Uncle Sam
today suggests that sheep raising may be
found a very profitable industry and that
the monetary returns from poultry by no
means to be despised. By keeping a flock
of from six to IL ewes, says the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Southern farmers
can provide themselves with meat for the
table, sell few lambs for mutton and
make money on the wool. Also, ''every
southern farmer should aim to keep at
least so hens for laying purposes and
home consumption"
Summarizing the returns to be expected
from six head of ewes, properly handled,
the department finds:
Four fat lambs ready for the table or
market Weighing from 70 to So pounds
when S1s or four months old.
Two eve lambs to retain in the flock.
One old eve culled for the butcher.
Six fleeces giving 40 pounds of wool.
Increased fertility of soil due to forage
crops and manure produced.
Among the many hints on the raising of
sneep the department says:
Give the sheep access to all harvested
and vacated fields, but do not depend
entirely upon such forages. The ideal
way is to provide otis of forages of such
size as will pasture the flocks for only
two weeks periods during warm weather.
By changing the pasturing ground OF
lambs every two weeks there is little
do 90 Inee
clean pastures do not affect sheep. Rape
cowpeas, oats vetch, crimson clover. and
soy beans should constitute the princi-
pal forages used. During the fall and
winter permanent pastures can be used.
Even regular fields of winter wheat and
barley can be pastured without injury to
them.
when pasture is not available feed hay
or fodder to the flock. Keep up the appe-
tites of the ewes by adding small qualities
of rape. collards, chopped cabbage, or
roots along with the hay. Do not feed
sugar beets and mangel-wurzels to your
rams or wethers.''
The hints for poultry raising read:
Allow the hens free range. Wire in the
garden, not the hens.
stronger fertility is secured from birds
on range.
Remove the male birds from the flock
as soon a. the Matching season IL over
SO as to produce infertile eggs.
Infertile eggs are produced by hens hav'
ing no male bird with them.
Infertile eggs keep much better than
those that are fertile.
The male bird has no influence on tn,

The hens greatest profit-producine
period is tho first and second years.

Dreadnaughts Important

Ultimate naval success Admiral
Fletcher contended must rest with
dreadnaughts. Submarines, he de-
clared, would not seriously affect the
vital principles of naval warfare. II =
admitted, however that from a foreign
navy viewpoint it was possible to send
submarines across the Atlantic to at
tack warships on the American coast.
In the event of war he said all Amer
lean battleships available could be
made ready for action within a week.
Secretary Daniels will appear before
the committee tomorrow. Commander
Sterling, who Admiral Fletcher said
was responsible for the care of all the
submarines, has been asked to testify
Friday.
The examination today developed the
admission that of II submarines on the
Atlantic coast, including Panama. five
are detained on permanent stations at
the isthmus. four are being overhauled,
four are just going into navy yards for
repairs and three are undergoing al
terations. Only one is left in active
service, Admiral Fletcher said.
Admiral Fletcher said the latest Amer
lean submarines were not equipped with
the most modern torpedoes, but they
would do. In answering Representative
Kelly of Michigan, he said it would be
a very remarkable thing II the eight or IL
submarines authorized IA years ago were
as efficient now as they were then.

THE CLEMSON HOMECOMING.
Only Former Students Invited Il
Great Gathering.

Clemson College, August 25:-E Ev-
erything is in readiness for the great
Home Coming" of ex-Clemson stu
dents August q to 81. President
Riggs says he is expecting between
l 900 and 1900. An attractive pro-
gramme has been arranged and no
detail looking to the comfort and
pleasure of the visitors will be over
looked.
The expected number of old STU
dents will tax to the utmost the ca
pacity of the dormitories. dining hall
and Memorial Hall, in which all the
public exercises will be held. For
that reason, as well as the fact that
the Home Coming" is a family
affair."" none but ex-students are in
vited or will be permitted to regis
ter or be entertained during the
Home Coming. This rule will be
strictly observed.
Other visitors are welcome to the
college campus any other time.
This announcement is made in ad-
vance so that none but ex-students
will make their plans to visit the
college during the Home Coming
Positively no accommodations can be
offered to others at that time.
The Home Coming is strictly
college affair, commemorating the
25th anniversary Of the Act of Ac-
ceptance which led to the establish
ment of the college. Invitations
have been issued only to the ex-stu-
dents of the institution, who number
around 5000.
The railroads have offered reduced
fares from all points in the State
and from Augusta, Atlanta, etc. in
Georgia.
All in all, the Home Coming"
bids fair to be the largest gathering
of college men only ever held in the
South.
