The corn, pig, poultry and demon
stration clubs, 800 strong, and the de-
monstration agents, attending the short
course at the A. & M. College here have
been doing fine constructive work the
past week, and enjoying it immensely,
they declare.
This week the farm women are hav-
ing their innings at the meeting at the
A. & NJ. College. Experts in various
branches, especially of home economies
are here to teach those in attendance
many things that will be useful and
helpful to women of the farms. The
farmer whose wife or daughter is en-
.joying this advantage has something OF,
the neighbor whose family is not repre-
sented, and both of them will realize the
fact before long.
Some of the critics of the governor
(and all governors have Jared alike
more or less, in this respect), are busy
ing themselves now over the proposed
bill to create board of pardons. There
is nothing that any governor we have
had or that we will acquire would moro
gladly welcome. But, aside from the
critics, most people have preferred t.
rely upon the executive discretion ant
judgment, and so former efforts in thi
direction have all miscarried

ANNUAL SUMMARY OF THE
EDGECOMBE TEST Fam
POULTRY WORK
For the Year Ending June 8, 1916.

For the Year Ending June 8, 1916.
The poultry work at the Edgecombe
Test Farm has been conducted for
three fold purpose. First, for the pur-
pose Of determining the best methods of
handling the sitting hen and her brood
and methods of feeding which would
be practical for the farms of the east
ern North Carolina and Third, to dem
onstrate the proper method of housing
and caring for the farm flock:
The birds consisted of White Ply
mouth Rocks. The combination sitting
and brooding coops were used in which
to set the hens and in which they brood
ed their young. For the adult birds
there was used a house IA feet by 20
feet with concrete floor and both ends
and the back tight with single roof
and open 'front.' The open front was
covered with a wire netting.
The birds were allowed the run of
the farm and received oats as the oily
grain feed. A dry mash was fed from
dry mash hopper. This mash con-
sisted of equal parts peanut meal and
wheat middlings. The young birds were
fed equal parts cornmeal, peanut meal
and ground oats. This mash was mix
ed up with buttermilk and was fed
them five times a day. Peanut meal in
these tests has proven excellent as a
feed
On this farm diversified farming is
practiced. Corn, wheat, oats rape, clio
yer and peanuts are grown. The birds
are thus enabled to pick up ,-luch was
grain, green feed, bugs and worms.
Practically all the waste grain about
the stable is also utilized.
The year extended from June s, 1915
to June 2, 1916. The average price OBJ
tanned for eggs at Rocky Mount, the
nearest local market, was 26 cents per
dozen. The average number of hens for
the year was 46.
The fowls consumed 1857 pounds of
feed consisting of oats and the dry
mash as we'll as the chick feed and in
Guiding the buttermilk. "a gallons but
termilk were used which cost ten cents
per gallon. The total cost OF the feed
was $2316
There were produced during the year
1853 eggs or 2S7A dozen. Each cost
less than SIS cents since the above feed
consumed includes that given to the
young chicks and chicks on range. Each
hen laid on an average, 1913 eggs.
The dedit side of the expense sheet
shows the total cost of feed, value of
poultry on hand, interest on Investment
at per cent, cost of labor and other
expenses to be $1,000 and the credit
side which includes value of eggs, value
of poultry hand, value OF poultry
sold and used, value Of manure and
other receipts to be $1S9.26 or net
profit on the entire flock of :bS22 OF
q profit per hen of $1.7S.
The average price paid for oats was
$500 per hundred, peanut meal sl.U3 per
hundred, wheat middlings $l.47 per
hundred and ground oats $3.50 per
hundred.

stocked with dress for every occasion.
In dark dresses, the navy blue serge is
to be counted on again. Women never
seem to tire Of it, for it has so many
up, and no satisfactory substitute has
ever been found for it. White serges
there are also, and they are truly fas-
cinating.
Sleeves are long and some collars
are high, though the becoming sailor
collar is still retained in many models.
The skirts are full, the fitness being
arranged in gathers, side pleats or I'M
stitched box-pleats. There have been
! rumors also of the accordion pleated
skirt coming in again.

purple The material is velvet or satin
or both combined. Another new color
for hats is ruby red. Topping a black
of color gives most striking and smart
effect.
But let us come back to the styles
that are worn just at present.
The Dress of the Monlc1.t
If one judges by popularity, the dress
Of the moment is Of satin or figured
silk. Gathers and pleats, Ions. tunics
and interesting collars are the features
that attract most attention in the pres
ent models Gathered skirts are not
new, it is true, bu when all the gath
ering is placed at the sides bel,1 tho
hip line and finished with a h .ading, be
meath which are pockets, we have to
admit that this is a novel way of hand
ling gathers. This treatment is shown
here in an illustration. The dress re-
ferred to has the waist cleverly design
ed to harmonic with the skirt, for the
would continue down to meet those OH
the skirt were it not for the soft girdle
that comes between them.
Designers are making strong point
of the long tunic again, and in many
models they hang III several points, as
in the dress illustrated here. Full and
pleated at the waist, it hangs softly
over the foundation skirt. AS if to bal
ance the ripples on the skirt, large
eape-like collar is placed over tbs
shoulders of the dress.
The cape-collar is still with us, among
the many other dainty collars which
are particularly noticeable on dresse:
and waists Some Of the collars ex
tend almost, if not precisely. down tx
the waist-line in the back, and those
that are not quite so long manage te

Mites and Lice

During the hot months Of July and
August external parasites as lice and
mites multiply very rapidly owing to
the warm days and nights and usually
comparatively dry weather. Birds
should be examined weekly to dete :
mine if any are infested by lice and the
perch poles examined to determine if
mites are infesting them. The mites
will be found in clusters on the bottom
side of the roost poles or in the cracks
and at the point where the perch rests
on the support. If lice are present dust
the hens with insect powder and If
mites are present saturate the perch
poles with kerosene.

half the summer is already gone and
interest is being turned to darker and

Some New Waists

The shops arc showing some very
striking silk waists, very colorful ana
most attractive. These are for wear
with tailored skirts for they are de
cidedly of the tailored type. The silk
Is striped with heavy wide stripes, some
times combined with narrow ones. But
it is CHIEFLY in the color combinations
that the attractions Of the new waists
lies. Light backgrounds of pink, cream
and pale blue will have strong vivid
stripes brought out on them. White
silk collar and cuffs and large pearl
buttons finish these waists
