until forced to it by repeated and
costly failures?
III.-Be a Quality Farmer.
Another thing we have overlooked
too long is the need for quality in
everything we do, in everything we
grow. Pacific Coast fruit growers
long g learned the value of quality,
at~tractiveness of packing and stand
ard grading, and largely for this rea-
son their produce today tops the mar
ket all over the country.
ooh, what's the use," you say, 81
only sell cotton, a few chickens and
eggs, a little butter and a few hogs;
why should I pay any attention to
how these things look or whether
they are standard quality or not?"
The answer is that it will pay you,
whatever you raise, whatever you
sell, to establish a reputation for
quality goods, raised on a quality
farm, by a quality farmer. If you
raise quality cotton, the world will
not only want your cotton a: higher
prices, but your neighbors will pay
handsomely for your elton seed;
quality chickens and eggs insure 4
steady market at good prices; ana
quality butter will enable you 20 get
and hold trade that inferior hutter
would never appeal to.
From the way your front gate
hangs to the way your fields are laid
out; from eggs to bales of cotton,
one of the finest assets there is, is a
reputation for running a farm where
quality counts. Isn't it a splendid
ambition to have the whole country
side looking to your farm for the fin
est pigs, the finest calves, the finest
chickens, the finest seed corn and the
finest cotton?
You can do it. Moreover in doing
it you will be growing quality boys
and girls, who will make quality men
and women. And this is a finer thing
still.

IMPURE MEAL IN MASH
PRODUCED BAD EGGS.
Pou,trymen Warned of Danger in
Feeding. Cottonseed Meal that is
not Pure.
clemson College Weekly

Clemson College, June There is
no better food to place in an egg
nasl to produce eggs in abundance
than pure, wholesome cottonseed
meal. But a recent occurrence that
came under the observation of the
poultry husbandman of Clemson COL
lege shows that the most disastrous
results will follow the use of heated
meal. meal made from heated or
moldy seed, or moldy meal.
A farmer in Campobello who has
a good reputation for selling fresh,
infertile eggs bought some sacks of
cottonseed meal tagged fertilizer
meal. He mixed this with cornmeal,
ground oats and wheat shorts, ac-
cording to the formula of the Glenn
son Egg Mash and fed it to his hens.
Within a short time he received
complaint that his eggs were bad and
unfit to eat. He could not understand
this, but an examination of the eggs
through a Gambler showed many dark
yolks. One of these eggs was broken
and the yolk vas found to be covered
with brownish green blotches and
dark spots. In the eggs laid in three
days fifteen bad ones were found.
These eggs were most offensive in
appearance and the condition was
brought about, says Frank G. Hare,
of Clemson College, who examined
them, by feeding heated cottonseed
meal. Brown yolks have been re-
ported at Darlington, Greenwood and
other places. This is a most serious
defect. AS one person remarked,
"These eggs with brown yolks n
not fit to eat. They are perfectly
fresh and look perfectly all right in
every other way"
Heated or impure cottonseed meal
spoils eggs and deranges the di-
gestive organs of hens or chicks.
"The person who feeds fertilizer
meal to his fowls says Prof. Hare,
twill do so at his own risk. Don't
take chances. In summer the amount
of cottonseed meal in the Clemson
Egg Mash can be reduced to one
fourth of what it was in winter"

Shade for poultry is as necessary
as for any other bird or animal. II
YOUR runs are not provided with
shade, make them shelters-tempor-
ary roofs two to three feet from the
ground, open on all sides. The birds
will show their appreciation.

Now if ever poultry must have
plenty of green feed. If you have not
good grassy runs, or patches of rape:
rye or young oats, try sprouted oats
if you can. If not, then give them
cabbage, lettuce, beets or other gooc
vegetables.

Pure, clean, cool water should be
in ample supply, and always in a
sheltered place, where the sun cannot
heat it and rain will not interfere.
Water vessels should be cleaned and
reflled at least twice a day.

Be on the look out for bodies of
dead birds, or decaying meats. They
attract vermin of all kinds, and if the
chickens get at them you invite linn
berneck trouble. Bury all such things
deep. If any birds are dead from dis
ease, burn them.
This is the season of all, when
poultry runs should be spaded or
plowed deep and well lined. 1t is
cheaper to prevent disease by proper
sanitation than it is to cure diseases
that become epidemic.
By all means avoid crowding young
chicks in brooders or coops. Give
them plenty of room and plenty of
air at night if you wish strong,
healthy, vigorous chicks.
AS the early chicks grow, put them
in colony coops, on good sheltered
runs,-a good orchard is a fine place.
AS soon as you a surely tell the
cockerels from the pullets, you
should plan for separate runs for
them. There is much lost in growth
and development, and nothing gained
in letting your males and females
run together before time for mating
up, and as pullet's eggs are not de-
sirable for Matching, the mating can
well be delayed until pullets have
laid, say two months. F. j. R.

HIGH COTTON SEED.

Writing from Columbia, December
10, special correspondent of Cotton
and Cotton Oil News (Dallas) says:
within the past two weeks 1 have
covered practically all the cotton mill
points in the Carolinas. Last week I
reported the cotton mills running full
time, some of them overtime and a
few of them night and day, with good
demand for their output at profita BILE
prices, while the oil mills all over the
belt We're having a very bad year, be-
cause of the very high price Of seed
this season.
Many of them told me they could
not possibly figure a profit on the seed
they were crushing, while some of the
smaller mills had shut down and were
selling the seed they had on hand to
the big companies The same condi-
this week.
''Wel1 posted men figure South Car
olina crop at probably 100000. 1t
is practically all gathered. North Car
