S21S From 80 Hens in s Months
as Side Line

Many Mississippi farm women
are making their household ex-
penses and adding to the farm
income by giving attention to
marketing their poultry pro-
ducts. What is being done by
some Of the members Of the CO.
operative egg and poultry asso-
citation maintained at the Missis-
sippi A. and M. College by the
farmers of the community, can
be duplicated anywhere in the
state. E. P. Clayton, head of
the poultry department, and
secretary of the association,
gives the following figures from
the record of Mrs. j. P. Castles,
President of the Association.
During the s months ending
September 1st. Mrs. Castles sold
$122.O1 worth of eggs at market
prices from 80 hens, and during
the same time sold breeding
stock to the value of 1880 and
breeding eggs to the value of
SIG. 65, making a total of gross
income of $218.16, at cost of
$45. so worth Of feed purchased.
No account was taken of home
grown feed as this was more
than Offset by rs pullets and 22
cockerels left on the yard and
valued at one dollar each.
In this same period, Miss
Eudora Carpenter, another mem
her of the association made a net
profit of $155.O5 from 65 hens,
cost of feed and labor considered.
In both cases the feed used
was corn, wheat, cottonseed
NEAL and oats, supplemented by
green feeds and skimmilk.
Wheat bran, corn meal, and
cottonseed meal were fed in the
form of dry mash, using equa
parts of each. No account was
taken in either case of the eggs
and chickens used for the hons
table.

symptoms of deadly disease. 1t
is not claimed that Tanlac alone
produces flesh. This great med
icine frees the system from poi
sons arising from the improper
digestion of the food and helps
nature turn the food into
strength and puts the body in
good working order. Then the
body gains back it's normal
weight as naturally as water
flows down hill.
Tanlac is sold in Okolona ex-
clusively by w. E. BEARDEN,
and in Houlka exclusively by J..

Sheep Raising Proving Profitable
in Mississippi

Owing to the high price OF
wool and mutton, and to the fact
that winter lambs can be pro-
duced under natural conditions
in the South more economically
than hothouse lambs can be
grown further north, sheep rails
ing is sapidly becoming an i'm
portant industry for Missls-
sippi," says l. W. Carpenter,
extension livestock specialist OF
the Mississippi A. and M. Col
lege, who is cooperating with
many faamers in improving their
livestock.
Mr.. Carpenter states, however,
that those men having sheep
will do well to provide shelters
and a good supply of hay or sill
age for them during the winter
months. Where lespedeza, cow
peas, soybeans, or some other
good legume hay is available no
concentrate is necessary, but in
case grass hay or silage is used
the sheep will need fourth
to one-half pound of cottonseed
meal in addition. While the
flock might winter solely on the
stalk fields, stronger and more
vigorous lambs and a better
quality may be produced by
feeding and caring for the flock
through the cold season.

vi Tie llToC rIIudJ III OSOODSi
we met at Mrs. Leila Hawkins,
a dear sweet woman.
Some text books bearing on
Lee and Jackson as conspicuous
leaders in the civil war, recon-
struction period, etc., were dis
tributed.
Our president, Mrs. Walter
Smith, seemed to have surpassed
any previous occasion in her Sc
lection of a program, which was,
after the usual devotional exer-
cises, first a brief history of the
Okolona chapter up to date, lit
tie incidence were related by
Aunt Laura" also an "old
time" song from her, a couple
of sweet songs from Mrs. Ed
Buchanan, music from Miss M.
TRIMMER, a recitation from Mrs.
James Gordon, all of which were
very enjoyable.
Miss Mollie TRIMMER put inmo-
ton a suggestion that each men,
ber give SC towards a scholar
ship for some poor but worthy
boy, each chapter in the state is
so doing. Motion was carried.
This seems little, but Little
things make of life the sum-"
The meeting was then turn
ed over" to the hostess who
served two dainty courses of re-
freshments.
AS we adjourned to meet at
Mrs. Doud McCarley's, Nov. 1st,
several remarked that Fannie
Kate out did herself.
True to appointment about
twenty-five met at Mrs. McCar-
ley's. Our spirits were in uni
son with the lovely afternoon.
On this occasion, however, it
was business before pleasure. +"
After the house was called to
order several important letters
were read. One among the
number was from our Governor
in which he requested that the
ladies in each county contribute
$25. 90 towards the enlarging and
bettering the Home at Beauvoir,
the same he asks of the men,
MANY hands make light work. I"
An application to join from
Mrs. Ed Buchanan was consid-
cred. Then officers for 1917
were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, Miss Mollie TRIMMER; Vice
president, Mrs. Mcdowell, Sr. ;
H. V. P, Mrs. Laura Murdoch;

After refreshments were taste
fully served and some very deer
regrets expressed in regard to 6
loss especially of our President
though gladly welcoming oul
new.one, we gave rising vote
, of thanks to our old Presidenr
. for faithful services well render
ed, also to other officers and Il

Feed Sold Through Cattle Will
Bring High Prices

Farmers VINO nave surplus
feedstuffs this fall may hope to
obtain unusually high prices for
them by selling them through
beef cattle as there are indica-
tions that there will be fewer
beeves fed for market this
winter than last on account OF
the scarcity of feed. These con-
ditions prevail over the entire
country, and the man who has
enough roughage to carry a few
head of cattle or better still has
both roughage and concentrates,
stands a chance to make nice
profit next spring"
|. w. Carpenter, of the Missis-
sippi A. and M. College, recent
ly made this statement, but says
that not only is the number of
cattle fed out for market in
creasing in Mississippi, but that
the quality is much better, and
the methods of handling and
feeding are improving from year
to year.
Among the precautions that
the feeder will do well to bear
in mind is the necessity Of start
ing feeding before the cattle
begin losing weight, which
generally comes after the first
hard frost. 1t is best to begin
by giving all the roughage that
the cattle will eat combined with
two or three pounds of cotton
seed meal or cake, and to
hold them on this until
they are ready to go on full
feed. The full feeding period
generally lasts from Is to 12C
days for best results, and it has
been found best to feed for
April, May and June markets as
the prices are usually higher
then than on the earlier markets.
Calves and yearlings do better
when fed from 120 to 160 days,
and a good practice is to feeo
these immature cattle some con
centrate other than cotton seec
meal for at least part OF then
ration. The man who is short
soughage and expects to get his
cattle fattened at an early date
will probably find it to advantage
to feed $50 to $50 pound steers
which are usually put on full
feed in Mississippi as early as
! possible.
These steers may be started OF
what silage they can clean ul
and 3 pounds of cottonseed mea
a head daily. This ration is in
creased at the rate of one poun'
of cottonseed meal a week unit
the cattle are on full feed, whicl
: consists of about six pounds 0
cottonseed meal and what silag
they will take.
