Features at Fair

Among the big features of the
Ireenville fair September Is, Ia and
l5 will be the display Of fireworks.
One Of the displays will be that of
silver birch tree. This is very
beautiful and the display is as fol-
ows From base of color, great
coughs Of sparkling silver foliage
Ihoot out about fifteen feet on both
tides, while up from the center
blooms of electric stars shoot up,
each star bursting into a fine bios
som of pale greenish white sprays,
the whole presenting a wierd and
splendid effect.
Another display will be a golden
trident This is gorgeous crea-
ito nof golden scintilating beauty,
from a base of rich color, there
bursts out in three directions, in the
form of a trident, great cascades of
fiery golden splendor pouring a fire
frontage of nearly thirty by thirty
feet and which lasts for quite time.
A massive revolving wheel will al
so be shown. On a heavy framework
of timbers is mounted the hub of
huge wheel with arms radiating out
IN all directions, each arm is embel-
lished with many colored jewels of
flame while from the ends huge cases
are mounted, these cases are charged
with a powerful composition that
forces this big wheel around and pro-
duces a great band of golden scintila-
tons which presents a fire frantage
Of twenty-five by twenty-five feet.
A patriotic star will be still anoth-
err beautiful feature. 1t will be ten
feet in diameter and will be displayed
in the national colors. This star is
outlined in red, white and blue and is
made up of red, white and blue color
I'd flame. The design is very true
and presents magnificent display of
living fire.

Following that meeting, petitions
for initiating the proposed amend

Ferris Against Saloons
After one of his visits to the Michi-
gan state penitentiary at Marquette,
visiting prisoners who were applying
for pardons and paroles, Governor
Woodbridge N. Ferris of Michigan
said:
~ spent several hours the other
afternoon listening to stories of pris-
oners who wanted pardons and par
oles, and what they told me has more
than ever added to my conviction
that the saloon has so many more
things against it than all that can be
said in its behalf, and that it should
be put out of existence and kept out.
l certainly grow more decided on that
question. After. allowing for all the
excuses that men will make who have
committed crimes, / am convinced
that seven out of every ten men in the
prisons of Michigan were started or
assisted in the course that led to
crime by liquor drinking associations,
am not crank on this subject, if
know myself; just a fully convinced
observer.

WHEN DOES CAPONIZING PAY,

(By Richard N. Crane, Division OF Ez-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
On many farms are cockerels that
have escaped marketing and have do
veloped shaggy appearance. They
weigh from 21s to 3 pounds. In many
localities buyers pay hep prices or less
for these chickens that are considered
STACEY.
In Tennessee we have an exception,
ally good market for spring chickens
weighing IL to pounds, and ! be.
lieve 1t would pay US to market cock
erels under 2 pounds rather than to
caponize them. But when our cocker
els get beyond two pounds, and buyers
are not willing to use them at the
regular spring chicken price, it may
pay us to make capons of them and
carry them through the winter, dispos-
ing of them in the early spring as
roasting chickens. Capons generally
sell forrthe same price as turkeys.

the best kinds for this purpose are:
Multiplyer Potato and Yellow DanveN.
Long.standing spinach and German
kale can be sOwn UP to the middle OF

Small quantities of radish and let

vegetables, because they are only in an
edible condition for short time. BY

Since the prices of feed have every
Indication OF being high throughout
the year, 1t would seem that the best
time to market all young cockerels
(except a few Of the best which one
should retain for breeding purposes) 4,
is when they weigh IL pounds to 2
pounds each. The pullets will do
much better with the cockerels OF the
yard. At this season feed is usually
scarce on the average farm and with
the cockerels of the road one will be
able to feed the pullets sufficiently
we'll to mature them early for winter
layers. 1t will be we'll also to market
any pullets which do not show a good
thrifty appearance, denoting strong
vitality, for they cannot be expected
to mature into good layers.
Remember that your money from
poultry is not from the spring
chickens, but rather from the eggs
which the pullets lay. Do not be too
eager to sell the half-grown, pullet as
fryer for 20 cents when by spending
another Is cents for feed to be used

her into a profitable layer, that, in
nlaca IF aaliinp for Or cents will give
you $3.50 worth of eggs and then
bring rs cents to $1.O0 as a. fowl at the
end OF two years.
Keep the pullets as long as they are
thrifty, no matter what their color
may be. Color has nothing to do with
the quantity of eggs produced, and
from present indications egg prices
will be the highest this winter that
the United States have ever expert
enced.

The object of a COW testing assoc
citation is that the members may know
Just how much net profit they are
making from their herds, which cows
are making the profit and which ones
are being kept at loss. A man well
qualified for the work is employed by
the association as tester. He spends
one day each month with each men,
Der OF the association. He arrives a.
the members home In the afternoon
Just before milking time, weighs the
milk of each individual COW, takes
samples for testing, and also weighs
the feed. He does the same thing in
the morning. after which the samples
are tested and the records OF milk
and butter fat production, for the
month are worked out, based upon
the yield for that day. The amount
and cost of, feed consumed by each
COW is also worked out and the figures
are all posted up by the tester In q
herd record book furnished each mem
Der by the Dairy Division. The owner
can see at o glance just how much net
profit or loss each COW has made and
the amount OF net profit made each
month from the whole herd
The average cost Of this work is
s1.50 per COW per year. The members
Of, the Jefferson amblen Cow Testing
Association have found the work very
profitable to them. During. the fourth
month the total increased net profit
from their herds was s1.041 more than
1t. was the first month. The increase
was due almost entirely to instruc'
lions of the tester in regard to proper
feeding and management. One mem
ber's net profit from his herd was In
creased from $3.50 the first mouth to-
si30.9S the fourth month.

When planning to build a barn one
of the first things to consider is its
general typev-whether any farm live
stock, except cows, are to be kept In
the barn, and the number of animals
TO be cared fer.
The best plan is to have the dairy
herd in a barn by itself, as there 10
less confusion, the danger from loss
from fire is reduced, and it can be kept
more sanitary. Where the dairy herd
is small and only few horses and
other live stock are kept, one may use
a. general purpose barn where all of
the live stock are housed.
1t is a good plan to store hay above
the cows, If tight ceiling II provided.
Nothing but q, self-supporting roof
should be usedG This increases the
hay capacity. No posts ere in the way
OF the hay. The selfsupporting roof
is. more durable1 looks much better
than straight ROOF and costs prac-
ticaHy the same. Bank barns are
usually unsatisfactory in the, South.
They are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.

The cows may face In or out, but II
is usually considered best to have

soon as It enters the barn, and this is
the handiest arrangement for milking
and cleaning out the barn. Put In at

fora bank account, besidss making his

While testing his herd the other day
l noticed the wonderful milking cows
and heifers he has. He told me that
several years ago hex was. persuaded
itofbuyqa superior dairy bull whose
dam was a pure-bred COW of high milk,

In the butter line for many years. Sew
eral years ago his stanchions were
filed with cows milking twenty pounds
ofpure milk. Today the offspring from
these cows sired by this bull are each
milking from thirty to fifty pounds of

This pure.bred dairy bull Is dead, but
no has left behind heifers and COWS
which are bringing prosperity.
