ORGANIZE A POULTRY CLUB.
Cooperative Spirit Among Neishbors
Insures Good Egg Market.

Not only is winter the time to crack
Jokes and nuts around the fireside, but
in the opinion OF E. z. Clayton OF the
Mississippi A. and M. College, it is
the best time to organize Poultry
Club to sell eggs to the leading hotels
while they are glad to get them. BY
doing this, good contracts at 20 or 81
cents a dozen can be made for the en-
tire years output Of eggs.
II you have few friendly neigh
bors it is no trick at all to organize
and successfully run an egg selling as
sociation. The requirements as set
forth by Mr.. Clayton are: () A co
operative spirit among the people; '2)
willingness to labor and wait for re
suits; (s) enough hens to permit the
shipment of at least one case OF y
dozen eggs every week in the winter
season. and a case of so dozen ever,

called the friend to the poor man and
to poor land. She enables the man to

Dairy farming has proven not only
permanent, but to increase the farms
prosperity under longtime heavy crop
ping systems.
There is less variation in income due
to seasons and good or bad weather
conditions with dairying than with any
other form of agriculture, according to
E. B. Ferris of the McNiel Mississippi
Branch Experiment Station. And" he
pointedly adds, 'it enables the farmer
to do business on cash instead OF a

STUART

No other state holds such conspic-
nous place in the papershell pecan in
dustry of the United States as does
Mississippi.
With but a single exception, the
Frotcher's Eggshell, the leading pc
cans in America, originated in Missis-
sippi. The Stuart pecan, the most
widely popular variety in the pecan
belt, originated at Pascagoula, Missis-
sippi. The Success, second in popular
lty in the United States only to the
Stuart, originated at Pascagoula,
The Schley originated at Pascagoula,
Mississippi; the Pabst at Ocean
Springs; the Delmas at Pascagoula;
the Van Deman at Ocean Springs; the
Russell at Ocean Springs; the Aliey at

and can be made to pay a better price
for grains, hays and forage crops than
these would bring on the markets, be-
sides leaving the fertility contained in
them on the farm. They also clean out
the fields of much that without them
would be wasted. They enable the
farmer to grow and market many land
restoring crops, such as velvet beans
and some other legumes for which
there is ordinarily no regular market.
A farmer with number of dairy
cows will at least have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that his land is grow
ing better instead of poorer each year.
and even if he merely breaks even with
the sale of dairy products proper, the
increase of his herd and the increased
productiveness of his soils may amount
to more than the net profits of other
lines where crops only are grown and
sold directly from the soil.

All Except the Frotscher Originated in MISSISSIPPI

Van Deman and Delmas form half
dozen varieties that are leading not
only in Mississippi, but throughout the
cotton belt wherever pecans are being
planted. Not only have every one OF
these varieties originated in Missis-
sippi, but they are being propagated
by Mississippi nurserymen VINO, by
reason of much experience, are well
fitted to KEEP these pecans true to type.
Such men as the late Colonel w. R.
Stuart of Ocean Springs, who is truly
the father Of the papershell pecan in
dustry of America, have made Missis-
sippi the home Of the papershell pc
can. Closely allied with the work OF
Colonel Stuart valuable additions and

The club members first take few
lessons in selecting and grading eggs.
These are simple and can be learned
after little practice. The main rule
is to Gull out all small and extra large
and all dirty eggs, shipping only eggs
uniform in size and shape. Put all
white eggs in one end of the case and
all brown ones in the other end.
Each member stamps his eggs SO
that they can be identified in case any

Who will breed the South's pure
bred cattle?
Mississippi is already taking the
lead in this work. In no other state
are the cattle ticks being more rapidly
swept out. Our neighboring states are
turning to Mississippi breeders for
new blood with which to improve their
herds. Mississippi Jerseys hayeia long
established reputation as heavy pro-
dueers and these cattle have, been
shipped to many Southern States to be
used in building up dairy herds.
The call now comes for pure, bred
beef bulls. According to Ira W. Gar
penter, of the Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College, there is a
great field for breeders of pure bred
besf animals in Mississippi.
''The demand for these animals,
states Mr.. Carpenter, will increase
year by year, as the South has bet
ter understanding of the possibilitiel
Of the beef cattle industry. There are
| thousands of acres of land lying idle
that would make good pastures. Tt
stock these we at least need pure-bret

Output Of Eggs In Winter Depends
Upon Proper Feeding Of Hens.
Protein u Essential.

To turn out q big supply Of finished
products a. factory must be supplied
with plenty Of raw material. For
large output OF finished eggs. then it
is necessary tdY1urnish the egg fac
tory raw material with which to make
them.
The following suggestions for sup
plying this material in a usable form
are offered by E. p. Clayton OF the
Mississippi Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College:
One of the first essentials in winter
egg production is healthfulness. Green
feed in some form contributes to
health and to the production of eggs.
Oats. wheat, rye, barley, rape kale,
alfalfa or any other winter crop will
be good for the hens to Craze. Where
hens are kept in such small pens that
feed cannot be grown in.the runs, clip
collards or kale from the garden and
feed all the hens will eat daily
Protein in some form is essential to
table to the hens, but supplies that
needed protein and helps to make the
eggs. Clabber, skim-miik and butter.
milk are all good, but for best results
feed the same form of milk every day
The milk can be fed by moistening the
mash feed with It, or by placing it IL
pans before the hens and allowing
them to drink at will.
Cottonseed meal has proven TO be {
great egg producer. 1t can be mixet
with wheat bran and cornmeal, as fol
lows: 25 parts cottonseed meal. 81
parts cornmeal and 40 parts whea
bran. Another good mixture is cotton
seed meal 20 parts, cornmeal 30 parts
wheat bran 80 parts and shorts 1
parts. Stir well and place in hopper
4 in dry place and allow the hens t
eat as often as they will.
. In addition to this, feed grain morr
ings and evenings. A good mixture c
grain feed for farm fowls is, equs
parts of oats, wheat and corn chops.
! Feed all grain in straw or leaves
! induce scratching. If fed all the
need in vessels hens do not exercis
! enough.

KITCHEN TIPS FOR NurTlNe TIME

many opportunities to provide dainty
and nourishing dishes for the family.
A few suggestions for the use of nuts
are offered below:
Canned Peaches IN Party Dress.
Put squares Of leftover cake in
small dishes and pour a little of the
canned peace juice over the cake. Put
a half peach on each square Of cake !;
fill the center of each peach with
chopped nuts: top with whipped OF
