Velvet BEAN MEAL FOR COWS
Florida Station Finds Ration Almost
Equal to Cottonseed Meal-Much
Cheaper to Grow.

The Florida station found that cows
produced as much milk when fed q
ration of 4.3 pounds of velvet beans
in the pod, 10 pounds wheat bran and
245 pounds Japanese cane silage as
when given a ration OF pounds cot
tonseed meal, 10 pounds bran, and "a
pounds cane silage. Hence 4.3 pounds
of velvet beans in the pod were fully
equal to pounds of cottonseed real.
The average Southern farmer can pro-
duce about 5 tons of velvet beans
for the cost of l ton of cottonseed
meal.
1t is reported that velvet beans in
the pod can be produced at S14 per
ton in Alabama and in Georgia.

Clemson College RulIetinl


Turkeys mature slowly, and for this
reason it is preferable TO select for
breeders hens from two TO four years
old mated with two or three year toms.
Old hens lay larger eggs, and their
poults are not only larger but stronger
than poults from immature stock. Do
not inbred, or mate related stock to-
gether. Medium-siZed birds, plump,
fine in bone, active and vigorous are
best. Mate one tom with about ten
hens.
A shed open on the south side. aud
closed otherwise to afford protection
from the weather, is an ideal house.
Do not keep turkeys with chickens In
close, poorly ventilated houses.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or caIlus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority because few
drops Of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

SUGGESTIONS ON TURKEY CARE AND FEED

: fine and make the mixture crumbly
Feed five times daily. Give clabbered
milk or cottage cheese. Soak light
bread in sour skim milk and squeeze
dry. Alternate this with the egg mix
ture. Twice week feed finely chopped
cooked liver or waste meat, as much
as they will clean up quickly. After
the second week scatter a mixture of
chick feed or cracked wheat twice
daily.
1t is important to provide an
abundance of fresh water. clean grit
and succulent green food. AS soon
as the pOults jump over the Pinch
boards allow them free range. They
need exercise on clean range to OBJ
tain flies, grasshoppers, grubs and
worms. and the seeds that are PrOvid-
ed by nature in order to develop a
healthy constitution.
Little turkeys require more animal
food than baby chicks, and hard
boiled eggs, buttermilll and cooked
liver are the best substitutes for flies
and bugs. Dry cornmeal swells in
their crops, ferments and kills more
pOults than all other foods combined.

Prove What Swamp-Root Will Do For You

He thought he would show how

said to the proprietor:
II don't see what l want"
"Then ask for it." said the propri-
etOr.
"Well, I've asked all over town for
it and l cannot find one"
"I've got everything man can

Young turkeys need foods TO develop
big frame and large organs-eggs,
milk, and meat will do this, but corn,
sorghum seed or grain of any kind fed
to excess will kill them every time.
Feed and Range.
Do not leave food on the ground
to sour or mold. Remove what Is not
eaten. After two weeks let the hen
take the pou,ts and range see that
she returns to the coop at night. Keep
the hen and pouts free of lice by
greasing and busting them with yellow
insect powder. Moisten the head, I'M
der the wings and around the vent
with little cOttOnseed oil. Do not
permit poults to run on ground that
chickens or pigs have made filthy.
Plow up such ground. or fence it In.
The turkey hen may be profitably
used as a mother when she has laid
out her second clutch of eggs, as she
rarely lays third. Call the hens
home to roOst by feeding them the
mixture of cracked corn. wheat and
cowpeas every night.
Further information In reference to
turkeys can be obtained from the ex-
tension division Of Clemson college.
