Hints for Poultry Raisers.

Summer shade insures thrifty
chicks.
Remove cockerels to a separate yard
the last Of May or the first of June.
Sour milk makes valuable addi-
ton to any poultry ration
Soft, fresh dirt is an insurance
against leg weakness in chicks.
Before storing the incubator clean
thoroughly, remove the lamp and
throw away the wick.
Spoiled or decaying flesh, II eaten,
will surely cause timber neck. Burn
or bury the dead.
When range is limited spade up the
runs or move the brood coop a short
distance daily.
Do not keep unnecessary male
birds. An extra hen eats no more and
may lay eggs.
After the grass gets tough chicks
can catch more bugs and worms and
will grow better on loose soil.
Clean, fresh water lessons disease.
Filthy drinking water is the source
OF much trouble. Clean the drinking
pans frequently.
Mites are sure to accumulate il the
droppings are not removed every
week and the roosts sprayed with
kerosene emulsion or disinfectants.
Broody hens should be removed to
slat bottomed coops as soon as dis
covered. Leave them there until they
forget it.
Watch for head lice on the chicks.
tlf found rub top Of head with small
piece of lard free from salt.
Avoid crowding by keeping in
small focks and by providing roomy
coops. Thin out if there are too
many.

Cautions.

Only eggs known to be absolutely
fresh should be used.
Infertie eggs are superior to fer
tile eggs. Under ordinary summer
temperature, fertile eggs are spoiled
for food in twenty-four hours. An in
fertile egg under the same tempera-
ture will remain fit for food for six
days. Fertile eggs may be used when
it is known that they have not been
subjected to heat.
Only those eggs having strong,
sound shells should be used. An egg
with a weak shell placed in the solu-
ton is liable to be broken and may
ruin the entire lot of eggs by befoul-
ing the preservative. Cracked or
dented eggs may be detected>by hit
ting one egg against another. II the
ring is metallic the she'll is not cracked
or broken, but. il deadened, close ex-
animation will reveal a crack or blind
check. Such eggs will spoil the
preservative.
Only clean and unwashed eggs
should be used. Dirty eggs, il used,
contaminate the preseryative with
harmful bacteria, which may enter the
egg and cause putrefaction to take
place. Washing eggs intended for
preserving removes from the shell the
last coat OF lime, or bloom, which aids
materially in self-preservation. When
removed by washing, the pores OF the
egg are left open and are more sus-
ceptible to entrance OF harmful bac-
terra. a..
Sufficient solution should be al
lowed for evaporation. The upper
most eggs should be covered by two
inches OF preservatiye. The eggs may
best be kept in stone jar and IN a
cool place, such as the basement or
cellar. When putting them down,
drop them in as gathered. This is a
better method than pouring the solu-
ton over the eggs. When desired for
use, remove only those needed. A
glass cover should be provided Tor the
jar, to keep the solution clean and to
minimize evaporation. A gummed
label pasted on the glass is a con.
venient method for keeping record OF
dates and number of eggs.
1t Is a common practice to add salt
10 either OF the above solutions. This
its not good practice and renders the
solution less efficient, inasmuch as the
brine enters the egg readily and
lquefes the albumen.
Chickens is chickens" but the
best chickens are the ones that re-
ceive the most intelligent care. While
experience is doubtless the best
teacher, 1t is also very expensive
training. Why not use the experience
Of others and save money. ANY
amount Of valuable information may
be had free of charge.
1t seems that some of our readers.
who are raising poultry On a small
scale, feel that it is too expensive to
buy books and subscribe for good
poultry magazines. In way, they are
quite right. A good poultry library
would be expensive and it is quite
unnecessary for the home poultry
man. The very best and most relia-
bic instruction on poultry production
can be had free OF charge. Among the
sources Of free instruction on poultry
raising are the public library, the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., and the poul-
try department of the State Agricul-
tural college. Information on almost
any phase OF poultry production can
be had from these sources without
cost.
A few minutes study each day on
tried and proved methods will mean
profit to any poultry raiser.

Ducks may be fed on the rations
recommended for fowls and chickens,
but better results are usually secured
by feeding more green and vegetable
feeds and larger proportion Of mash.
The following ingredients should be
mixed into a mash and fed wet
crumbly, not pasty. The feeding OF
milk to ducks in pans as a drink
causes sore eyes, Use milk in the
mash and feed only what will be
readily cleaned up. Mix the proper
amount for one feed only. Held-over
mash will sour and cause trouble il
fed. The following proportions are
by measure.

 Clanton Press Glory be. The 'possum crop is ripening rapidly and the yield this year is said to be immense We are told that many of them are so fat their tracks leave greasy spot on the ground.
 Union Springs Herald: Bullock coun- ty is fast becoming one of the fore most live stock counties in the state. There is no reason why she should not be right in the front rank among the stock growing counties, for she has the climate and the soil best suited to the live stock business.
 Ozark Southern Star: It is very nec- essary to send our sons abroad that they make the world safe for democ- racy, but it is equally important for us at home to kick the Kaiser out or Congress-
 Albertville Banner: We strongly ad- vocate Sunday morning passenger train from Guntersville to Gadsden. Our people who desire to spend Sunday in Attalla, Gadsden, Anniston or Bir- mingham, could go and return the same day if southbound morning train was put on. Here's hoping!
 Jasper Mountain Eagle: Some one has suggested a society of nations" The trouble is that so many of them won't be sociable.
 Centreville Press: A company has been incorporated in Birmingham for the purpose of building interurban electric lines out of Birmingham. There is nothing that would build up the city of Birmingham faster than few lines built through the surrounding country. One of the proposed lines would run to Blocton, Centreville and Marion, and one of these days we ex- pect to see these lines built.

Not a Good Fisherman

'T am not much of fisherman my self" said Eugene Enslen, but my neighbor. R. S. Warner. is an ardent disciple of Isaak Walton and puts in much time with rod and reel.
 For several weeks he has been down on Little river and is evidently having a grand time, as he has been good enough to send me some mighty nice messes. After all, if a fellow does not like to sit by the hour in boat or on the rivers bank watching cork bobbng up or down, or wade in mid- stream and feel the pull of the reel and get his joy by hearing it sing when a good strike is made, the best thing is to have neighborly neigh Dor who does and is willing to get the rapture while you get a part of the catch"

pr. Morrow.s Deer Hunt

T have had lot of people to call me up or stop, me on the street to ask about my deer hunt" said Dr. George M. Morrow
 T went down to Mobile under the chaperonage of my good friend J. B. Leedy. Our party got launch and went up one of the rivers but we did not get sight of deer until we got back to the edge of the city, where the dogs got busy and we chased one through the outskirts of the city.
 All that talk about my having eX- ceeded the speed limit within the city limits was greatly over exaggerated but as matter of fact I was greatly excited. Having confessed this much l think my friends might let up on me and put an end to my ability as sprinter."

No matter how improbable a rumor may be, it is never hard to believe when you want to believe it.
 Good luck is like good health. You never appreciate them until you haven't them.
 We know some hustlers who when they die will try to sell the Angel Ga- briel all automobile klaxon so he will have no difficulty in rousing the dead on the biz day.
 When q neighbor woman can't bor- row anything else she will go around borrowing trouble.
 Never do anything worth initiating. and never say anything worth repeat
 ing, and ycu will never have any ene- mics.
 You can play lot of proverbs both ways. A, man often marries at leisure and repents in haste.
 After listening to a princess gush and gigse for a while, a man gets the Gea that she was given a head so she could have something to wear a ne W hat on.
 Take squint into the show windows of any photograph studio and you will be amazed at how many ugly people get their pictures taken. The lest advice we can give mar ried man when he has fuss with his wife Is that he should make up his mind what to say and then refuse to say 1t. i Some men vhc wouldn't mind loving | their enemies would draw the line on their relatives.
 l One trouble with this world is that the fellows most in need of advice arc the ones who are always giving 1t. l And lot ot lads imagine that they | might do thelr work too well if they 1 did their best.
 l When s boy gets his first dollar, 1t looks mighty b.g to him. But later on 1 in life his last dollar is going to look
 whole lot bigger. l Anyway. a man dassn't be as polite ] to his wife as he is to other women,
 If he was. she would get so suspicious
 that there would be no living with her.

the present week will prove an agreeable surprise to many.
 The campaign does not end until Monday and the indications are that Birmingham and Jefferson county's contribution to the good cause will total from $9O,OOO to $1O0,00O.
 It is a noteworthy fact that the general committee of the Young Mems Christian association, in it's original survey of the country, made with a view of estimating money raising possibilities in various areas, gave particular prominence to Bir- mingham. As result of this city's splendid achievements in the liberty loan and Red Cross campaigns this city was the only one especially men, tioned as representative of the group of southeastern states.
 Birmingham having established reputation for it's successful team work, it must never know such word as fail Whatever it's quota it will always be expected to go over the mark. And it now looks as if the state of Alabama, whose Young Mems Christian association allotment is S30o,O00, would not only reach it's goal, but go beyond it.
 The spirit of patriotism prevails in every nook and corner of the state, and the spirit of generous giving was never so much in evidence as it is now.
 As every dollar donated to the Young Mems Christian associations fund will be used for promoting the welfare of our soldiers, not cent will be grudged Double the amount sought could have been raised had the committee deemed it necessary.
